ICE For CHA.
Red Cross Society Will Send Second
Plant

New York, June 15.-The subscrip-
tions which have been received during
the past week have almost completed
the sum necessary for the purchase of
the ice plant which the members of the
Ice Plant Auxiliary of the American
National Red Cross will furnish for the
hospital ambulance ship. Encouraged
by their success to continue the work,
the members of the Auxiliary have de-
cided to secure subscriptions for a sec
Ond ice plant, as soon as the first has
been completed. The second plant will
be placed in one of the encampmentS on
shore, and ice can then be sent short
distances to other camps. Chickamauga
or Tampa will probably be the destina-
ton, and in the event of an entrance
being effected to Cuba or Manila, it
can be moved.
Mrs. lesser of the Red Cross hospital,
in an interview with a member of the
auxiliary, said that even in times of
peace ice is a luxury which only the
wealthy residents of Cuba can afford.
A block of ice costing cents here,
would cost 81 in Cuba, and, aside from
it's value, from medical point of view,
a good supply of ice would be as nee
essary as a good supply of food, for
without ice it would be impossible to
keep perishable foods, which are neces-
sary for the sick and wounded. The
assistant treasurer of the auxiliary is
Miss Helen Van c. de Peyster, to whom
subscriptions may be sent at Z East
Forty SecOnd street.

STOMACH CLOSED.
Indiana Man Takes All Food Through
q Tube

Scottsburg, Ind, June 15.-Thomas Ar
buckle of Johnson township, this coun-
ty. is living under peculiar conditions.
Last fall all the members of his family
were stricken with typhoid fever. His
father, mother and two brothers died
from the effects of the disease, one of
of the brothers starving to death be-
cause of the closing up of the upper
orifice of the stomach. The disease left
Mr.. -Arbuckle in practically the same
condition, though he managed to take
enough liquid nouriShment to maintain
life until about four weeks ago, when
the Srifice of his stomach became en-
tirely closed. Since then he has been
unable to swallow a drop OF anything.
He submitted to an operation. His
stomach was exposed and opened, and
the examination showed the Orifice
highly inf1amed and tightly closed. A
Valvular incision was made in the up
per portion of the stomach, permitting
the introduction of a tube.
Through this tube all his nOurishment
for over three weeks has passed. He
takes five meals a day in this manner,
consisting of a quart of milk or broth
at each meal. Under this treatment he
has gained ten pounds in weight and as
apparently hale and hearty. 1t incon-
veniences him very little. He is up and
about all the time, works as much as
his strength will permit, and the other
day walked three miles. There is no
telling how long he will have to eat
in this manner, as the physicians say
it may be months before his stomach
will again be ready for the ordinary re-
centiOQ of its food.

INSANE OVER WAR.
Two Men in Chicago Have Queer

TANGLED BY MARRIAGE.
Queer Relationships Result From An
Indiana Marriage.

Dillsboro, Ind, June ia few weeks
ago a rather peculiar marriage took
place here, David Gray marrying his
granddaughter by former marriage.
1t would appear that the Grays believe
in peculiar marriages, for Gray's father
married his step-sister, whose mother
was the aunt of his present wife. The
people at that point have dropped the
war question and are endeavoring to
solve the relationship of Gray to his
wife, and OF his wife to him. An Ohio
county genius saw the announcement,
read it, pondered over it, set to think
ing and here is the outgrowth of his
fertile imagination:
81 married widow who had a, grown
up daughter. My father visited the
house very often, fell in love with my
Stepdaughter and married her. So my
father became my sOn-in-law, and my
Stepdaughter my mother, because she
was my fathers wife. Some time aft
erward my wife had a son; he was my
fathers brOther-in-law and my uncle,
for he was the brother of my stepmoth-
er. My fathers wife-that is, my STEP
daughter-had also a son; he was, of
course, my brother and in the mean
time my grandchild, for he was the son
of my daughter. My wife was my
mothers mother. I was my wife's huS-
band and grandchild at the same time.
And, as the husband of a persons
grandmother is his grandfather, was
my own grandfather"

BOYCOTT EXPOSITION.
Nebraska Prohibitionists Adopt Stay
Away Pledge.

Lincoln, June 15.-At the final session
of the state prohibition convention the
following resolutions were adopted on
being proposed by a. G. Wolfenbarger:
Resolved, That We condemn the ac-
ton of the officers and directors of the
ans-Mississippi and international ex-
position in establishing and opening the
retail liquor business on the grounds
of an institution which was originally
designed to be an exhibit of the pro-
greSS of education, art and civilization.
Il. We indorse the movement of all
educational, moral and religious or
ganiZations which have withdrawn
from the exposition on account of the
insult that has been offered to the peo-
pie.
90. We especially condemn the at
tempt of the liquor selling managers of
the exposition for the course they have
pursued in enlisting the school children
of the state in contributing to an edu-
cational exhibit and after securing the
same at great labor and effort on the
part of the teachers and children, the
fathers and mothers of NebaSka and
the nation, are confronted with the
beer mug and wine bottle to tempt and
debauch their loved ones.
80. We heartily approve a second re-
mOnStrance, which shall be coupled
with a stay-away pledge, unless liquor
selling be Withdrawn and excluded from
the grounds

ALLIN THE BOTTLE.
Lieutenant Blue Sees CerYera'S
Ships and Counts Them.

Washington, June 15.-The last doubt
that may have existed as to the pres
ence of CerVera's fleet in it's entirety in
Santiago harbOr was removed when
Admiral SIMPSONS dispatch reached
the navy department last night. Up to
that time information as to the number
and character of the vessels lying in
the harbOr shielded from observation
by the hills had been obtained through
Cuban sources supplemented by such
glimpseS as could be obtained by naval
officers from the outside entrance. Now
according to Lieutenant Blue, the
ships have been actually seen by an
American officer, counted and inspected
from such points of vantage as were
afforded by the high hills, surrounding
the harbor.
The officials here are full of praise
for Lieutenant Blues achievement.
Victor Blue has been long known in
the navy as an enterprising and daring
young officer but it required good
deal of sustained courage for him to go
ashore in a hostile country and alone
make this reconnaissance. He was, in
the eye of military law, nothing more
nor less than a spy and had he been
captured by the Spaniards, he would
have been tried by drumhead court
martial and executed.
Considering the fact that the marines
fight at Guantanamo last Saturday
night was really the first engagement
of the war on shore, Admiral SampSonS
reference to the affair in his dispatch
posted this morning was remarkably
brief. Hence it is inferred that per-
haps too much Importance has been
attached to it by the public. The action
of Lieutenant Colonel Huntington in
removing his men to a more secure
point than the exposed position occu-
pied by them on Crest Heights, is taken
here as an indication that no offensive
movement is to be attempted by the
marine corps, but that it will limit its
operations to the defense of small
4o,a%
the coaling of our warShips and per-
haps to serve as a cable station when
the necessary operators and inStru-
ments are secured from Cape Haytien
to enable Sampson to reopen the cut
cable 1t does not follow by any means
that the place seized and held by the
marines on Guantanamo bay is to be
used as a point of debarkation of the
United States troops.

Hobson, who successfully undertook
the fearfully perilous task OF sinking
the Merrimac at Santiago, has every
right to look for glory in the service of
crate soldier for four years, his grand
father was a distinguished North Car
DINA jurist his great grandfather
fought with Andrew Jackson and was
afterward a United States senator, and
his great-great- grandfather was a SOL
der of distinction in the war for indie
pendence.
President Faure of France was a sue
ceSsful business man before he entered
politics He therefore carries business
methods to the office and one of the Sc
crets of his success is his untiring and
methodical discharge of his duties. One
of his rules is to answer all letters the
day they are received.
Long before Mr. De LONE was found
out in his letter writing he wrote to
Captain c. c. Dillon, a Cuban fiIibuster,
offering a large sum if the captain
would allow himself to be captured by
Spanish cruiser when he had a good
cargo of arms and ammunition on
board. The idea was, of course, to Sc
cure evidence that the United States
was secretly helping the Cubans. Cap
tain Dillon is himself the authority for
this story and says he has the letter.
Miss Cisneros. the pretty Cuban girl
who was married the other day to
Lieutenant Carbonel, entered into the
matrimonial state more to be amiable
than anything else. She frankly says
she does not love her husband and
thinks the wedding might have been
postponed till after Lieutenant Carbon
els return from the war. But Mrs. LO-
gan. her guardian, and the New York
publisher who has paid her expenses
since her arrival in America favored
the alliance and so she consented.

BLANCo's OLD TRICK.
Again Tries to Entice B1ockaders Into
Range of Moro.

Kew West, June 15-Gen. Blanco ap-
parently has not yet abandoned the
hope of Turing the American warships
within range of the Havana batteries.
He tried again on Friday morning last
but with no better success thin in his
previous attempts.
Advices received here today are to
the effect that five Spanish vessels ran
out to the mouth of Havana harbor on
the day mentioned and headed in an
easterly direction. The vessels of the
blockading squadron were lying we'll
off shore, the nearest not being closer
than 1000 yards. Upon sighting the
Spaniards they ran in a short distance
and opened fire on them. The volley of
shot and shell brought no response
from the enemy, but the Quintette OF
ships speedily turned tail and hugglng
the shore, under the batteries ran back
into the harbor The American ships,
however, did not accept the bait and
made no further attempt to modest
them.
The character of the Spanish boats
could not be positively fixed on ac-
count of the distance, but the American
officers who participated in the affair.
say one or two were small gunboats or
the class which has been maneuvering
all along the north coast in futile eff
forts to draw the American ships with
in the fire of the Spanish batteries.
Yesterday three of the Spanish batter
les, the Santa Clara battery and the
sand battery No. and No. deliberate
Iy opened fire on one of the auxiliary
gunboatS which was cruising along the
shore About a half dozen shots were
fired, none finding any other mark than
the sea, although several dropped too
close for comfort.
The gunboat made no reply, but hUr-
ried out of range and reported the at
tack to the flagship of the blockading
squadron.
No attempt at retaliation however
was made.

LOUISIANA CYPRESS
A Part of the State Exhibit at
Omaha

New Orleans, June 15.-Yesterday the
largest sized furniture car in use by the
Illinois Central Railroad company left
this city for Omaha, Neb., loaded to
the roof with the material for the
cypress exhibit at the Transmississippi
exposition. This will be the most COM
plete exhibit ever made by the cypress
association, consisting of examples of
the wood, from the rough log to the
finest polished work for interior finish,
such as doors, mantelS, newelS, panel
ing, etc. In addition to these finished
and ornamental pieces, there is full
line of samples of the wood in it's COM
mercial shape, showing the various
grades and kinds. Captain VIM. l..
Burton, of this city, is chairman OF
the committee in charge, the association
being represented at Omaha by it's Sec
rotary, Charles Mcdowell.
In this connection 1T is worthy of
note that the special freight car and
the transportation of this exhibit was
furnished free of charge by the Illinois
Central management. This road, in line
with it's we'll known policy of promoting
the interests of New Orleans and the
gulf territory, and having tributary to
it the magnificent cypress industry OF
Louisiana, has adopted the wise and
liberal policy of using the product of
these mills in it's own car construction
and other work. The cypress industry
has now reached a magnitude which
insures a prompt and sufficient supply
of any grade OF lumber, ana WINE II IS
much cheaper than white pine, 1t is
acknowledged to be superior for car
siding, roofing, tanks, platforms, siding
for buildings, etc.
The demand for cypress in the north
and west has assumed very large pro-
portions during the past two or three
years. The Illinois Central, with far
sighted sagacity, has co-operated in
this growth by doing its share in build
ing up the industry tributary to its line,
I,xy he
ments and otherwise, thus justffying
its claims made in the north concerning
this section, for the inducement of i'm
migration hither. continuance OF
this policy can not help but rebound
to the mutual benefit Of the road and
it's shippers.
