BULL-FIGHTERS ALARMED.
Fear That American Control of Cuba
Will Stop the Amusement.

Havana, Nov. 1.-THE professional
bull fighters in Havana recently held a
meeting in that city and decided to
draft a petition to President Mckinley,
praying that after the Spanish evacua-
ton and the beginning of American con-
troll, that there may be no legal steps
taken to prevent them from carrying on
their amusement. The bull fighters de-
clare that their livelihood depends upon
their abnitytO continue their chosen pro-
fession, and that it would be gross in
justice to them to be deprived of the
right, beside a sore disappointment to
the people Of Havana If their chief
source of amusement and entertainment
were forbidden.
The gladiators will state in their pc
tition that Gen. Lee, during his resi-
dence in Cuba, never missed an oppor-
tunity to witness a fight and was al
ways to be seen at the arena and was
very fond of the sport. They also state
that all Americans who have witnessed
a bull fight are greatly pleased with the
performance, and will also point to the
fact that visiting Americans never fail
to attend one of these performances
when they are in Havana They be-
Heve that when their case is fully set
forth that their business will not be in
terfered with.

SEEKING TYPHoIp,s CAusE
Analysis of Chapman Water is Not
Satisfactory.

Chapman, Nov. ADMINISTRATION for
the cause Of the typhoid fever which has
taken by death four high school stu
dents is not yet ended. The returns of
the analysis of the water sent to the
state university proved unsatisfactory.
The water from the Ryan well tested
better than either the high school wa
ter or the water from Arnold & Scan
lan's well. Some OF the doctors claim
the cause Of the typhoid fever was from
frosted Watermelons.
The Hendersons and Ryans used
water from the Ryan we'll and the Cor
macks rOomed over Arnold & Scan
lan's meat market and used water from
their well but also drank water from
the Ryan well, which is open and was
not used much this summer.
Several students have left school,
their parents being alarmed lest they
might suffer from the disease.
