European powers in the effort to prevent

this had been done in vain, for the conflict

that circumstances would offer the neutral

THE OLD RULE APPROVED.
Character of Il Prospective Wife NIny
De Accurately Judged from
Mothers Nature.

Il have great faith" said an old mar
ried man who WAS telling a younger
companion just how to choose " lie,
in the old saying which calls the moth
ers OF fair young daughters 'warrirgs'
In selecting wife, always go by the
mother Of the girl. It's good rule. and
I've never yet known it to fail. There's
good long stretch of future before
most people who make up their minds
10 get married, and for a considerable
proportion OF that stretch the girl will
be much more like her mother than like
herself.
ITS easy enough to choose n wife so
far rs the present is concerned, but if
you want to know something Of your
wife for the future you should take her
mother into account. When you see a
truly charming mother you may be
pretty sure that her daughter is to be
depended upon when she reaches the
same age. Long before | was more
than aware of the existence of my wife
| thought her mother was one of the
lovelest women in the world. | was
only little chap, and she, brilliant
young matron, was. of course, unaware
of my devotion, but my allegiance never
lost its hold, and when I grew up 1
promptly fell in love with the daugh-
ter Of the woman whom had SO long
admired"

Gibraltar. May 4. A dispatch dated s
o'clock this morning has been received
here from Madrid. II makes no mem

London, May 4.-The reports in cir
culatlon at Gibraltar that Senior Moret.
the Spanish minister of the colonies,
and Marshal Martinez Campos, the
former captain general of Cuba. have
been assassinated, are unfounded In
qulries show that a passenger who ar
rived there from Spain yesterday
afternoon brought the rumor that
Campos had been murdered and that
Premier Sagasta had sought refuge in
the British embassy at Madrid.
The dispatches sent from Madrid last
night reporting the speeches of senior
| Sagasta and Marshal Canpos snow
conciusively that there is no truth in

COST or THE WAR.
Army and Navy Deficiency Estimates
Rench $40 ZOO, 900.

Washington, May At is expected
that the extraordinary expenditures for
the army and navy on account of the
war for the first six months of the
coming fiscal year will make the gener-
al deficiency appropriation bill now be-
ing held in the House committee on APP
preparations reach an aggregate of
about s120,O00,00o. This is the rough cal
culation of Chairman Cannon and
others of the House committee on APP
preparations assuming that all these
expenditures will be provided for in a
single deficiency bill instead of earlier
separate bills. The general deficiency
bill has been ready for report from the
committee to the House for several
days and now will not be reported un-
til Just before the adjournment of Con-
gress which many of the leaders of the
House including Chairman Cannon of
the appropriations committee, believe
will be reached about the middle OF
next month
Between now and then. the war de-
partment will submit its war estimates
for the first part of the next fiscal year.
covering expenditures TO be made until
month after Congress convenes. ON
the basis OF n rough reckoning of the
needs of the service and in the light
of the present situation something over
$50, O00, 900 Is expected to be asked for
the army particularly for pay subsist-
ence, transportation, ETC., and the es-
Inmates for the extraordinary expendi-
lures for the half year together with
other estimates that may supplement
the sl4.000.0o0 already In Is expected
to make up that total.

Was 1t any wonder, he asked, that the
fever could not be controlled?
A consideration OF the geographical
conditions in Cuba showed that the
hills back of Mntanzas are twelve to
fifteen hundred feet high and back of
Havana they are eight or nine hun
dred. By making the camps on these
hills, the speaker said, the danger
would be greatly reduced. There is
no other seacoast city where 1t would
be so easy to keep troops, provided
the system of regular and careful In
spection be maintained. The stag
nant portion of the bay of Havana
could be purified by n canal from the
Almendarez river. and after a period
of proper household sanitation, In the
city, Havana would become as health
full as any city in the tropics.
He calls attention to the fact that
England had given a lesson in SANTA
ton at Jamaica. At one time Kings
ton was as subject to yellow fever as
Havana but now cases seldom occur
The carelcssness of the government
he snid was the principal cause of al
the yellow fever danger. Not half this
necessary precautions were taken al
the wharves where the danger was
greatest.
In conclusion DIR. Hamilton said thai
| there had been reason enough for wal
with Spain before the present crisis
| Any country which would carelessl,
| allow such a disease breeding centei
| to affect the ships of the world, with
| out any effort to improve the condi
| tions, deserved nothing better than
| the most severe and summary punish
ment.
