stonehouse.
The Ice opened for thirty feet or more.
and In an instant twenty-five men. with

der the smooth surface OF the stream TO
drown without even the chance OF fight

MALARIA KILLS THEM.
RecOncentradOs in Cuba Are in
Pitiable Condition.

London, July 1.-THE Havana cor
respondent of the Times in a letter
dated June II, describing events and
daily life there, testifieS to the excel
lent organization and orderly conduct
of the police who, nevertheless, have
been denounced by American journalists
as armed ruftans and a terror to the
laW-abiding."
The correspondent expresses Sur
prise at the tolerance of the authorities
in allowing natives, sympathiZers with
the rebels, openly to talk sedition in the
cafes, just as the American correspond
ents who sWarmed in Havana before
the war did behaving as if they tho ght
the stars and stripes were already ny
ing over Cuba, and yet were never mo-
Tested"
After remarking that 1.-The fnhab-
itants take the war with great GOODNESS,
since they have long been accustomed
to guerrilla warfare the correspondent
says:
1.-THE condition of the reconcentrados
is pitiable, but the mortality is due in
nine cases out of ten, not to starvation
but to malaria. They have been so
long preyed upon by the insurgents
that they fall easy victims to disease
The writer proceeds to inveigh at
great length against American agI-
tators' and especially the American
press for bringing about an unjust and
foolish war by gross misstatements and
eXaggeratiOns intended to lndame the
passions of the warm hearted and well
credulous and ignorant, became the
ready dupes of agitatOrs.
THE American correspondents in
Cuba brought terrible and, 1 believe,
unjust accusations he says, against
the Spanish sOldiery. No doubt Span
ish rule has been bad, but had it not
been for American help the rebellion
would have been suppressed. Spain
was never allowed fair play. The reck-
less inventions of the American jour-
naIists would have been amusing if the
result had not been so mischievOus. The
moral of all is that government by
Journalism is not such a perfect form
Of government as some would have US
believe"
In another letter dated June 16, the
correspondent says:
Despite the fact that the authorities
do their utmost to relieve suffering and
that he government is Selling provisions
bough up by spectators. famine is
tightening upon the city and inspiring
the population with terror. A barrel of
lard was sold yesterday for $50 pounds

THE DANGER GONE.
The Cabinet Today Decides
That All the Mines May
Be Removed.

Washington. July 1.-THE secretary
of war has ordered the removal of all
submarine mines which now protect
the harbors of the United States
against the entry of hostile ships. This
action was decided upon at tOday's
cabinet meeting. For weeks past, in
fact almost since the beginning OF hos
tilities, the war department has been
deIuged with protests from foreign
countries against the use of these
mines which operate to the detrlnnshI
of commerce. -
Practically it has been Impossible TOT
shipping to enter or leave any OF the
harbors of the United States during
the last two months between the hours
of sunset and sunrise. The decision OF
the cabinet to remove these mines now
is one of the most signal manltesta-
lions of supreme confidence of the gov
eminent in the future and OF the eH-
emption of United States ports from
attack at the hands of any hostile pow
err After thoroughly considering the
subject it has been decided by the tn
gineers that the safest and quickest
means of removing the mines is by eX-
ploding them and orders to do this
have been given to all of the United
States engineer officers in charge or
harbor defences throughout the coun-

TURNING OF THE LANE.
George Jefries Brings Suit Against
His Prosecutor.

If the statements made in petition
filed in the district court today are to
be believed, George Jeffries, an en-
ploye of the Santa Fe boilermaking de-
partment, is man of many trials
Jeffries brings suit for 81, 600 damages
against F. E. Jordan, the Oakland gro
Ger, and asks the court to grant re-
straining order restraining Jordan from
garnisheeing his wages.
JeffrieS states in the petition that he
earns not to exceed $36 per month, and
that he has an invalid wife and two
small children to support. This amount,
he says, is often inadequate to meet the
monthly expenses of his home because
of the illness of his wife, and he is oft
en- forced to rely on the charity Of
neighbOrs for food. These statements,
with a number of others of a like ma
ture. form a prelude to the cause of &C
ton in the case.
This rests upon efforts made by Jor-
dan to collect a grocery bill of SOL 80 by
garniShment proceedings. He first tried
in September, 1897, later in December
of the same year, and last month the
latest trial was made. Jeffries held his
wages each time by employing an at
torney and fling an affidavit that his
entire earnings were needed for the
support of his family Now, he says in
the petition, Jordan threatens to garnl-
shee wages monthly until the bill IS
paid, and that under the rules of the
company one more garniShment will re-
suit in his discharge.
He asks 81, 900 damages for the anxi-
ETY. OccaSioned, and the restraining or
der to enable him to hold his position.

BLOWN UP.
Latin and Rand Again Victims
of Spanish Spies.

Dover. N. J., July IAN explosion
at the works of the Latin and Rand
Powder company in Pompton Lakes to-
day killed fifteen men, among them
several soldiers who had been detailed
to guard the powder works. A short
time go there was an explosion which
killed six men.
Since the outbreak of hostiIities with
Spain, Colonel Lee, of the Third New
Jersey volunteers and a battalion of
his regiment have been stationed at the
works to prevent their destruction by
spies.
The camp of the soldiers has been
close to the powder plant. The guard
was being maintained as usual this
morning. At II o'clock there was ter
rife explosion, which shook the build
ings and scattered the troops and en-
ployes. Fifteen men are reported to
have been killed and many soldiers and
employees had wounds, some quite ser
ious. The officials of the company at
once sent a special train from Dover to
the mills and the wounded were immed-
lately placed on board to be removed
to the Paterson hospitals for treatment.
The military formed in line and stood
guard about the plant and refused to
allow any one to approach the works.

LAST DAY OFN. A.
Subject of Education of Women Re
ceives Attention.

ceives Attention.
Washington, July 12-The last days
meeting of the National Educational
association began with sessions at the
National theater and Grand opera
mousse The gathering at the latter
place was one Of the largest since the
meeting. Supt. John H. McCahan pre-
sided at the National theater. The re-
port of the committee on normal
schools was to have been submitted,
but Mr. Snyder said that the work was
too much to accomplish at this time
and the appropriation for it had not
been made until February last. The
report viii be submitted a year hence.
superintendent Edward Seaver, Bos-
ton, spoke on the subject Of 'Democ-
racy and Education and President
Charles D. McIver of Greens boro, N c.,
strongly advocated co-educatiOn. He
said that when a woman was educated,
what she learned was passed on to the
next generation, While what a man
learned was made use of by himself,
but rarely impaired to his children.
Supt. Richard Hardy of Michigan
said that systems of teaching should
not be made too rigid and that a sys-
tenn which would apply to one city,
would not have as good an effect in
another.
He compared the cities of Ann Ar
Dor and Muskegon, Mich, to illustrate
this proposition, pointing out that Ann
Arbor was a university city while
Muskegon was an Industrial one.
Supt. McHenry Rhoads Of Frankfort,
KY, pointed out the great necessity for
the education of the masses and said
that crime and illiteracy made it i'm
portant that everything should be done
to extend the benefits of learning to
the people
At the Grand opera house, the prin-
cipaI subject was women in their re-
Iations to schools The meeting was
presided over by Miss Margaret Suth-
erland of Ohio. Miss Arnold of Bos-
ton spoke of the effect upon teachers
of a proper appreciation and encour-
agement by the public. Miss Margaret
Evans of Mortified, Mimi, pointed out
the good work done by women's clubs
and their use as an educational factor.
Miss Betty DuttOn of Cleveland, Miss
Sarah Walter. Willamette. Conn, and
Miss Lille Williams of Trenton, N. J.,
participated in the discussion.

RAPID RECOVERY
Noted Among Wounded Owing to
Improved Methods.

Washington, July 12.-Surgeon Cen
eraI Van Reypan, of the navy has re-
ceived a report from the surgeons with
the fleet, showing that in the many
cases of wounded, some of them are
serious, not a rise of temperature or
an accumulation of pus has appeared
in any case. From a medical stand
point, this is said to be marked ad-
vance from the conditions during the
civil war. and is attributed to the in
PRODUCTION of antiseptfc treatment of
wounds. 1t shows that no fever follows
the wounds and that with the absence
of pus the wounds heal rapidly. without
complications. Considering the great
number of wounds to be treated now
and hereafter this is regarded as
most satisfactory showing
Word has been received from the hos
pital ship Solace that she has on board
about 40 naval wounded and number
of Spanish wounded. The remaining
accommodations will be given to the
wounded from the army. 1t is expected
she will arrive within the next few
days.
The surgeon general has assigned
Surgeon PurSenS to take charge of the
wounded Spanish prisoners at Seavey
island, Portsmouth harbOr. Surgeon
PurSenS has recently been at the re-
cruiting station at New York. With
him will be four other surgeons besides
the Spanish surgeons. They will afford
exactly the same surgical care to the
Spanish wounded as tina given to
American sailors. The hospital has ac-
Communications for so men although
there are only 43 Spanish wounded in
the first party. DR.. Van Reypan has
arranged, however. for fitting up two
large pavilion wards to take the place
of the hospital Work on the wards is
being rushed and they will be ready by
next Saturday.
