The Press Censorship in Havana
Worse Now Than Ever.

Worse Now Than Ever
Havana, via Key West, Feb. 1O.-Gen-
Pando summoned to the palace the edi-
tors of all the Havana papers and said
to them:
IF directly or indirectly, or by words
of double meaning or in ironicai
phrases. you refer to the failure of the
trip of Blanee, the failure of autonomy,
the failure of the prospects of future
peace, or mention in any way our
strained relations with the United
States, I shall have the paper imme-
diately suppressed and its editor sent
TO Spain.
The muzzling of the press is to-day
worse than in the palmy days of Wey-
Ter. and il is very difficult to get any
news through the military censors.
The Spanish Red Cross published last
Sunday an article in the Union C0nsti-
tucionale, saying they could not con-
tinue their work, as they had no more
money, which they aver was spent In
sending back to Spain 10000 sick sol

Washington. June 27.-Postmaster
General Smith has issued an order
changing the postal regulations in re-
gard to sheet music Illegally sent into
the country. Canadian publishers some
times pirate music copyrighted in the
United States and then send ii through
the mails into the United States for sale.
When such music has been discovered
by the postal authorities it has been
held for three months. and if the owner
of the copyright did not institute pro-
ceedings for its forfeiture it was re-
turned to the sender. who generally
again sent it through the mails and after
repeated attempts often succeeded in
putting it on the market. Under the
new order the music If not claimed by
the holder of the copyright. will be de-
stroyed at the end Of three months.
This order is based upon an opinion
recently rendered by the attorney gen
eral. Music upon which duty should
be paid will be sent to the nearest col
lectur of customs.

Brakeman Attacked by Euples,

Conductor J. NJ. Romer, of the
"Katy," says: ''We were two miles
south of Kellar, on the main line,
when the engine broke down and I
sent brakeman back to flag behind
the train to protect us from trains
coming down the line. When he had
gone back the required distance he
stopped, and two eagles that probably
have nest in the little piece of woods
where we stopped attacked him with
beak and wings. They would swoop
down on him and peck at him with
their bills and talons. He defended
himself with the blunt end of flag
stick and succeeded in keeping them
off by incessant fighting. In short
time he had used the stick to such
good advantage that he managed to
keep them at distance and finally
frightened them away. The eagles
were large bald eagles, with powerful
wings and talons, fully capable of

Of train bringing Colonel Torrey's
regiment of rough riders from Cheyenne
over the Kansas City, Memphis and

reached and dashed into it, In the rear

seriously.

carried troop c from Laramie, Wyo.
This coach was completely telescOped

Every stranger who stays long ut
Vladivostock, Siberia, hears plenty
of tiger stories. Here is one that the
traveller who owns the skin told me,
writes a famous traveller. 1t was of
an old fellow, a native, who lived
somewhere in the Amoor Valley, and
his house stood by itself in the forest
at some distance from a settlement
He had no gun of his own, but one
day party of hunters who were try
ing to track down a man eating tiger
stopped at his house to rest on their
return to the settlement, and one of
their number, finding his rifle heavy
to carry, left it with the old man un-
til he should return that way the next
day. That night a tiger came snuff
ting around the house and tried to
break in. He reared against the door
and struck it with his paw, but it was
too strongly built and strongly barred
for him to succeed in breakingit open.
But he smashed in the shutter of the
one small window it had no glass
and tried to force his way into the
house through it. 1t was small for
the tiger, but he worked his head
through and then his shoulders and
one foreleg.
All this time the old man was trem-
bling with fear, not knowing what to
do, for the tiger seemed certain to get
into the room at last. Then he
thought of the hunters rifle leaning
in the corner. He was not accus-
toned to firearms, but he knew enough
to cock it, and he thrust the muzzle
into the tigers mouth, and when the
brute grabbed it with his teeth he
pulled the trigger. That ended the
tigers days in hurry. When the
hunters came to the old mans hut in
the morning they found the man-eater
that they had been after hanging dead
over the window sill half inside and
half outside the house, with his head
shattered. The old man got the re-
ward of fifty rubles that the govern.
ment offered for the destruction of the
tiger.

Light travels with uniform motion
in any homogeneous medium so long
as its density and temperature remain
constant, but its velocity differs for
different media. Nicholson found
that the velocity of light in the atmo-
sphere is 1856, 300 miles per second,
which corresponds to a velocity of
1S6,373 miles per second in the
ethereal medium. The velocity of
light in crown glass is 1926 miles,
