THE LA ANTON TRAGEDY

From the Cincinnati Times-Star
 The Canton murder case promises to un- fold a tragedy of sngularly vivid and in has not yet been sifted and there are some confusing contradictions, but it does not take a Conan Doyle to weave a thrilling story from the rumors that have already seen print. woman of a deeply eme- tional yet outwardly sef-repressed nature, to throw her love- her honor as a wife at the feet of a man who holds woman to be a toy that must sooner or later be discard ed. The game is apparently a safe one. The lover vows that he will wed her when the law frees her from her marital bonds. But divorces are uncertainties, and he may never be called to keep his word The day comes, however, when the confiding woman is free to marry the man for whom she sacr feed everything.
 The toy is his, but without obstacles it's possession no longer attracts him. He leans to another toy, less attractive, but at all events it has the charm of novelty. The whole existence of the betrayed wo- man becomes a blank. Her life has lost its one purpose, there is nothing between her and ruin. Jealousy and despair whips love into hatred. She strikes down the coward who has made jest of all that to her was sacred in the world as he goes to meet his supposed paramour.
 If the Canton murder should develop a story of human misery and heart breaking like the above, an eloquent lawyer for the defense could carry the jury off its feet with plea of justification.

GIVE THE PRIvATEs A CHANGE

From the Augusta Chronicle.
 Thus far the witnesses before the war Investigating commission have been gem erals and commissary officers.
 There has been no claim from any source that the generals were without proper ac- commodations, or were lacking in food. The charge has been that the neglect was among the men on the line of battle and in camp It is not to be supposed that the commissary officers, who are practically under trial, will give testimony incriminat- ing themselves of neglect.
 It would seem reasonable that the evil dence which is sought in this investigation might best be obtained from the men in ranks. They were the sufferers, and they are the ones to know whether or not they were supplied with proper accommodations and a sufficiency of wholesome food.

ner says now that no more importations of Alabama negroes will be permitted. Be- tween what the governor of the state says and the experience of the negros in Yir- den, 1t is plain there will not be many more negroes who will declare themselves ready for a trip to Illinois.
 In the fight that is springing up between Governor Tanner and the mine officials we lack interest. The chances are, however, that the executive of the state, backed as he undoubtedly is by public sentiment, will have his way, and that the mine officials will have to be content with bluster and much talk as to their rights. Governor Tanners contention is essentially sound. The importation of negero miners for the the state is not acceptable in Illinois, and it would not be acceptable in Alabama if circumstances were reversed. Abstract constitutional rights are very fine things on paper, but in practice humanity and fair dealing have a showing, and the oft- cial who attcks labor should be very clean and very honorable and very humane in his methods. If he is not, he cannot req sonably expect that public sentiment will go with him. Public sentiment in Illinois is with the white miners in their conten- tion for more safeguards and better reg ulations in the Illinois mines.

State or National Quarantine.

The Jackson agent of the Associated Press puts the blame upon the board of health of Mississippi. It seems to be well established that the board lived in Jackson at least month next door to fever cases, without discovering the presence of the disease, simply because it was prevalent among negroes. It Is known that the dis ease existed in Lafayette county at least month before the state board of health dis covered it's presence there. Such board should simply be decapitated. Its negli- gence gave the state the chief foci of the disease It discovered nothing. It pre- vented nothing. Its existence as a board of health only serves to demonstrate the futility of a state board in Mississippi. It should be abolished.
 Surgeon-Gener Wyman says "the dis case gained strong foothold before being brought to the notice of the authorities" '" This never do. Local physicians and au- thorities will always suppress, as far and as long as they can information of fever cases. If the state board does not devise some system through which it will gain early and certain information of fever no notice of such cases will be voluntarily sent in.
 The rise of the epidemic in Jackson, under the noses of the state board of health, is case almost beyond parallel and it goes to show that the board is dress-parade affair that stands upon its dignity. Local and state quarantines have received in Mississippi blow that they will not soon recover from. No one will trust them hereafter-in Mississippi The state is in state of suspended animation today Terror and panic reign. The New York Herald discusses the case at length, arriving at these well-supported con- clusions:
 "As it is clearly proven that the state authorities are incapable of grasping and controlling the pressing issues of public safety, it becomes the duty of the health officials of the general government to es- tablish national quarantine, and speedily and effectually bring order out of chaos. Fortunately the marine hospital service is the competent means to this end and it should lose no time in getting to work. It's prompt action is the only hope in the dire emergency. No better opportunity could be offered 1t of proving the utility of central ized authority than when every other capa- bility of helpfulness is paralyzed, and when the local officials share the panic of those whom they should protect"

CARDENAS HARBOR IS CLOSED
spaniards Have Filled 1t With Sum
ken distractions.

On Board the Associated Press Dispatch
Boat Wanda, off Cardenas, May 2S.-(Via
Key West, May 29.)-Cardenas harbor
has been completely closed by the Spn-
iards since the attack of the Winslow and
other American torpedo boats. This fact
was demonstrated yesterday by the at
tempt of the English steamship Myrtle
dene to enter the port to take on cargo
of sugar
The Myrtledene had begun to take on
the cargo when war was declared and she
was ordered out by the American gunboat
Machias. Her owners claimed that under
the blockade proclamation she was en-
titled to 80 days to load and Secretary OF
the Navy Long gave the steamer permits
sion to return and complete her cargo.
She found, however, that the harbor was
filled with sunken distractions and could
not get in. She lies outside of the har-
Dor, uncertain whether to attempt to
bring her cargo out in lighters or wait for
the war to end.
The waters of Cardenas are too shallow
for big ships and the Winslow tragedy
probably closes the history of naval opera
tions in that quarter.

SCHLEY SIGHTED HIS PREY
CERVERA IS AT SANTIGO.
The Commodore States That He
Himself Has Recognized the Ves-
sells of the Spanish FIeet-OffciaI
Announcement of the Fact Made.

Washington, May 3O.-At 1890 o'clock
this Monday morning the navy depart
ment received a dispatch from Commo-
dore Sehley announcing definitely that he
had located Admiral Cerveras Cape Verde
squadron in the bay of Santiago de Cuba.
The commodore states that he himself
had recognized the vessels of the Spanish
fleet
While naval officials have been moder-
ately certain for several days that Ger
vera's squadron was in the harbor of San
tiago, the official announcement from
Commodore Schley was received by the of
ficers on duty at the department with in
tense satisfaction. Assurance is now
doubly sure that the Spanish fleet is bot
tied up and the cork is in the bottle. 1t
is not believed that Cervera will attempt
to escape from the predicament in which
he now finds himself, as such a course
would surely result in the destruction of
his vessels and the loss of many lives
precious to Spain. The suggestion is
made, however, that the Spanards may
blow up the ships rather than have them
fall into the hands of Schley, as they GER
tainly will if they remain in the harbor.
The defniteness of Commodore Schley's
dispatch would seem to indicate that he
has effected landing near Santiago and
made a personal investigation of the har-
Dor. 1t would be impossible, from the en-
trance of the bay, definitely to see and
recognize the Spanish vessels, but by eff
fecting landing at some point on either
side of the entrance a vantage point could
be gained from which the entire harbor,
it is believed, could be examined. In all
probability Commodore Schley or one of
his trusted officers has succeeded in per-
forming this hazardous undertaking in
order to obtain the valuable information
contained in his dispatch.
1t is impossible, owing to the lateness of
the hour, to obtain any official expression
upon the news from Commodore Schley.
What effect the certainty that Cervera is
practically helpless will have on the plans
of the naval station with reference to the

RUSH WORK ON CARTRIDGES

which will permit the turning out of 20O,-
900 rounds of ammunition per day. AS

invasion of Cuba can only be conjectured.
The transportation of land forces to the
island, it is thought, was delayed because
of uncertainty concerning the location Of
the Spanish squadron. If tnat under
standing is correct, the probability of an
early invasion of Cuba is strong. 1t is not
unlikely that the movement of troops,
which has been delayed from time to
time, will begin this week, and that be-
fore the end of the week the United States
forces will have obtained substantial
foothold upon Cuban soil.
VIII schIey Go Ins
Official advices received tonight from
Commodore Schley contain no informa-
ton such as is reported from Madrid, al
though it is known that they were writ
ten after the battle was said to have oc-
cured. The advices from Commodore
Schley indicate that he is now on sta
ton for several days guarding the en-
trance to the bay of Santiago de Cuba.
Commodore Sehley has not only his own
squadron, but two OF three vessels besides
at his command, and it is not believed to
be possible for the Spanish admiral to es-
cape with his fleet.
No information is obtainable as to the
intentions of Commodore Schley. Wheth-
er he will endeavor to force an entrance
to the bay and seek battle with the
Spanish squadron is not known, but such
a course at present is not regarded as
likely. 1t would be better, in the opin-
ion of some naval officials to keep Ger
vera and his vessels safely in the har-
Dor, where they are as absolutely useless
as they would be at the bottom of the
sea-
