POISONED BY CANNED BEEF
so Persons Made Sick at 8 Church
Social

Niles, Mich, Sept. 2O.-Nearly one
tenth of the entire population OF ram
well. a little village in Allegan county
is i'll from eating canned beef at a
church social.
Fifty-five persons were poisoned,
twenty are dangerously i'll, and four are
expected to die the doctors have ex-
pressed no hope of their recovery. Inose
in danger are Mrs. Ethel Clancy, Mrs
J. NJ Travis, Mrs. John Bishop and L.
w Souls.
The ladies of the Presbyterian church
gave a supper and about 100 guests
were present, all of whom had supper
and partook of canned beef.
So far ffftv-five cases of poisoning
have been reported and in each case 1t
has been learned that the patients had
eaten of the beef Some were violently
i'll and it was thought at one time that
at least a dozen would succumb to the
Steps are being taken to make rigid
Investigation into the food, the doctors
believing either the meat was diseased
or the combina ton of the tin and beef
resulted in poisoning.

certain that it would require the ex-
penditure of at least a dollar and
twenty-five cents on the part of Spain
to meet the expenditures of every dol
lar on the part of the United States It
was certain, therefore, that if the war
cost US two hundred million dollars it
would cost Spain two hundred and fifty
mlI1On dollars, and where could she
raise any such sum as that? Torn with
civil strife; her throne claimed by a
pretender; her people impoverished; she
could not levy additional taxes without
preclpltatlng bread riots within her own
borders, and her only means of carry
ing on the war was to borrow money.
Ihis she could not hope to do, because
her bonds were already selling at 80
cents on the dollar IN the markets of
the world; and had she attempted to
borrow two hundred and fifty millions
OF dollars she would have been COM
PEELED to issue eight hundred million
dollars worth Of bonds. Before she
could have sold one-half of that amount
her credit would have fallen still lower
and her bonds would not have COM
manded 20 cents on the dollar.
With a treasury unable to raise
money by taxation, and powerless to
borrow it, the end of the war was in
sight before it begun. The ringIeaders
knew this as well as we did, and if they
dld not know it they are not wise
enough to be entrusted with the admin
1stration of this government but with
the knowledge that the war must soon
END, and Knowing that with all their
was IeIulneSS and extravaganza it would
probably not cost over $500, 900 OO0 they
proceeded to enact a law which i'm
poses one hundred and fifty million dol
lars IN annual taxes upon the people,
and authorizes the contraction of a five
hundred million dollar debt Upon that
monstrous proposition almost every
Democrat in congress voted no and |
our only regret today is that there was
a single one of US who felt called upon
by his sense of duty to support it -

APARTY DIVIDED.
Two Kinds of Democrats Struggling
for Control in Connecticut

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 2O.-Arrange-
ments are practically complete for the
Democratic state convention which IS
to assemble in the Pork City theater to-
morrow to nominate a state ticket The
convention promises to become field
of contest between the silver and the
anti-siIVer factions, the question OF
candidate being subsidiary to that of the
currency The first skirmish will take
place this afternoon when the state CEN
trail committee meets at the Windsor
hotel for the purpose of completing ar
rangements for the conventions tempo
rary organization.
The conflict it is predicted, will begin
soon after the committee assemblies,
over the appearance of contested dele
cations. In several caucuses through
out the state, the gold men have con-
trolled. and as result delegates of that
sort have been sent to the convention.
The silver men will contest the right of
such delegates to sit. Already notices
have been received from eight or ten
towns from which will come two sets of
delegates.
The gold men will claim their right to
seats on the ground that they are Dem
ocrats as well as their silver brethren.
The gold faction demands an utter
elimination of national issues in favor
of state issues.
The only candidate who has been
prominently named for the office of
governor is former United States Treas
urer Daniel N. Morgan, of Bridgeport.

CUBANS BADLY OFF.
The Soldiers Unable to Secure Food
Now That the War is Over.

New York, Sept 2O.-Major Benja-
min Giberga, of the Cuban army who
arrived hers from Santiago on the
transport Port Victor, was at the head
quarters of the Cuban junta last night.
Major Giberga went to Cuba in April
last. He then Joined Gen. Garcia and
became his secretary. Major Giberga
left Gen. Garcia on September after
the latter's resignation from the Cuban
army. Garcia was then at Barre with a
few memb ers of his staff Barre is
about so miles from Santiago, in the in
terror of the island and is the town
where the present revolution started on
February "A. 1895.
According to Major Giberga the res
ignation of Gen. Garcia and it's accept
ance by Gen. Gomez was a complete
surprise to the civil officers of the Gu
ban republic. It was known that there
was some friction getween the two Of
hcers but no one thought Garcia would
resign from the army and even if he
should present his resignation they did
not believe Gomez would accept it. The
whole affair of, the resignation and ac-
ceptance was carried on without the
knowledge Of the civil authorities, as
Gen. Gomez, as commandments OF
the army, promptly accepted it without
consulting the civil authorities.
Major Giberga was inclined to believe
that Garcia's resignation would have
no effect among the CubanS and would
cause no dissension, although if it had
been rendered prior to the cessation of
hOstilities it might have injured the
Cuban cause. In speaking of the con-
dition now existing in the interior Of
the island, the major said:
1.-The Cuban soldiers are suffering for
lack of food. Before peace was declared
they could obtain food by foraging from
the country. but now they cannot do
this. AS a result the men who have not
been paid since they Joined the army
are suffering from starvation. They
have no money with which to pur-
chase food and cannot take it from the
fields. The troops should be paid off
as soon as possible and allowed to re-
turn to their homes, where they can
once more engage in peaceful pursuits
The payment of the troops is, however,
a serious problem which will have to be
solved at an early date.
Il do not believe that it will be nee
essary for the United States to send a
large army to Cuba. 1t fact 1 think
10000 men will be sufficient to look after
the island. There is no danger of a con-
hict between the Cubans and Span
iards. The latter are pleased that the
war is over and are friendly with the
Cubans. AS an Illustration of the way
the Spaniards act, I would say that
just before I left Cuba a party of Gu
ban officers in uniform went into HoI-
gum and were at once greeted in a most
friendly way by the Spanish officers
there. The latter embraced the Cubans
and invited them to breakfast
Everything was quiet at Santiago |
when left the city. The people are !
satisfied with the way Gen. Lawton |
handles affairs. He maintains order !
and is courteous to all classes of peo- |
pie. Some improvements are needed |
schools, but that will come in good |
time
