There was no room for Governor
Lords picture at the Republican
county convention alongside of Geer's.
Why that horse laugh when the

When Hendricks seconded Dave
Looney's nomination for sheriff. what
did he mean by placing so much stress
on the ma tier of a NEW deal through

Why din't the Republican bosses,
lawmakers and professional senator
electors want on" the legislative

from practical politics is pathetic.

Red Cross IN Case Of War.

New YORK, April Cit is stated at
the Office of the Cuban central relief
committee that the real reason for
Miss Clara Barton leaving Cuba three
weeks ago was that she had been
called to the United States by the
state department for consultation re-
garding the mastering of the Amer.
lean Red Cross for service in this
country and Cuba in case OF war.
The government recognized that in
case Of hostilities, supplies sent to the
starving Cubans would be in danger
of falling into the hands. Oof the
Spaniards. 1t was arranged that all
supplies should be placed In the hands
of the Red Cross Society, and In this
way Spain would be bound to leave
them alone, because she is a party to
the international treaty respecting
the Red Cross Society.

The Reason why.

While public clamor against the
delay 10 the occupation OF Cuba is
very loud and noisy, thinking mind
end good and wise reasons for il.
Firstly, if the Spanish fleet is des>
troyed, there are strong probabilities
that Blanco will surrender to the
feet. Another reason for the delay
is the presidents reluctance to ex.
pose our soldiers to the climate OF
Cuba, aud he hopes the next naval
battle will make il unnecessary.
surgeon-G General sternberg of the
army, who sees the president every
day, is opposed TO undertaking any
military operations until after the
rainy season, on the ground that the
sanitary conditions ia and around
Havana, where the army will be
camped, are not only naturally very
bad, but have been aggravated in a
most serious manner by the slaugh-
ter and starvation Of the reconcen-
trados. From reliable reports re.
ceived by him through the marine
hospital service he estimates that
100000 persons have died of starva'
ton within the Havana province dur
ing the last twelve months, 6,OOO
from yellow fever, 2,50G from enerie
fever, 10000 from dysentery, 1000
from malar;al fever and 5000 iron
smallpox and other diseases. Moth
ing whatever has been done to re-.
move the causes or neutralize the
results. The dead have not beer
properly buried and no attempt ha'
been made to protect living people
from contagion. Surgeon-G Genera
Sternberg has made a report on thi'
subject to the president and it ha'
had great weight with him.
