DISTRESSING PICTURE
Ofthe Conditions Existing on the Island
of Cuba.

Washington, October 7.-Senor Quesada,
representing the Cubans in Washington,
was at the war department today and pre-
sented a very distressing picture of the
conditions on the island 1.-The Inhabitants
are starving he said, land unless some
thing is done there will be very few people
left. The country is devastated, the people
have had no opportunity to plant and
raise crops; they have no money to pur-
chase supplies and what food there is in the
island is beyond their reach The greatest
suffering is in the Santa Clara province, al
though it rs very bad in Puerto Principe.
Only one port is open. and its situation is
not favorable to reaching other portions of
the island The Red Cross and the United
States, under the Geneva treaty are not al
lowed to go beyond the lines designated by
the Spaniards in carrying supplies to the
people, because they would be liable to be
charged with smuggling. Our people do not
understand why so much time is taken up
In ending Spanish rule in the island. Be-
fore the war the American government
gave Spain forty-eight hours in which to
answer the ultimatum, but now months are
given for evacuation"

to the prosecuting attorney and then tod
her that he could not grant her request.
The question to her whereabouts at the
hour named was repeated She answered
in a perfectly calm and quiet tone:
Pardon me, sir; 1 will talk when the
proper time comes"
Did you go out on the street cars about
that timer
There was no answer to this question
II will say to you, Mrs. George" said the
prosecuting attorney, that If you had
nothing to do with this we will not detain
you a moment"
There was no answer and the prosecutor
said:
do you know why the officer brought
you here?"
do you know that Mr.. Saxton is Dead"
was the next question put to her by the
prosecutor.
There was no answer save a slight
twitching of the lips.
The prosecuting attorney then said:
at has been said to me that you threat
ened TO kill him; is it true?'
There was still no answer.
"Why did you get off the car at John
Weiss corner and go across lots?" was
asked and still no answer.
Did you have any business there at that
timer"
No reply.
Absolutely Dumb
Why did you come up through the swamp
to Tuscarawas street. and where did you
come from?'
Still answer.
''Will you tell where you have been since
o'clock. l notice there are a great many
burrs your dress VIII you tell where
you got them?'
Not muscle of Mrs. Georges face
moved and her head did not move a parti-
Gle to see whether there were any burrs
on her dress. This ended the examination.
Mrs. George was taken into the woHans s
department and an examination was made.
Nothing was found on her. The skin of
her hands was scraped and will be anal
yzed to see wether there are any traces of
gunpowder on them. She was then locked
up to await hearing
1t is common talk that Mrs. George made
frequent threats of taking SaXton's life.
Many of these threats are said to have been
sent through the mail and the federal grant
jury, sitting in Cleveland last fall, indicted
her for alleged improper use of the mails.
Mrs. George gave bond, and the Indictment
SO far as it is known here is still alive.
Sample c. George the husband is now
reported to have been married to a second
wife for more than a year, and the mar
rage was kept secret until after the set
tlement with Saxton. After George got his
damage money from Saxton he announced
his re-marriage.

Voice Training.

Vocal training develops the powers
of the voice and makes it master of it's
own resources. Vocal training per-
fects and strengthens the instrument,
and makes it capable of greater execu-
ton, more capable of sustaining ia
tigue, and better fitted to resist wear
and tear than it would otherwise be.
A trained voice can do more and bet
ter work with less effort than an I'M
trained one. The difference is that be-
tween an athlete in perfect condition
and man whose muscles have not
been hardened by exercise or drilled in
to efficient working by practice.
When the voice is rightly used the
singer feels the peculiar physical sat-
isfactiOn which accompanies the sue
cessful performance of any feat of
skill. He rejoices in his art, and seems
incapable of fatigue The wrong use
of the voice speedily brings its own
punishment by giving rise to a sense
of exhausting strain, sometimes to
sharp pain.
1t is chiefly unframed singers and
speakers who suffer from "clergyman's
sore throat" and weak action of the
vocal cords; trained vocalists are re-
markably free from such affections.
