RIoTING IN PORTO RICO.
State of Anarchy Said to Exist the
Islands.

Washington, Nov. 19.-At session
of the cabinet much time was devoted
to the consideration of complaints that
have reached the war department al
leging that a state of practical an
archy prevails in Puerto Rico. These
complaints asserted that the lawless
elements are committing depredatiops
of the gravest character, and that the
seriousness of the situation is increased
by the fact that United States troops
likewise have been guilty of gross mis-
conduct.
Secretary Alger, at the instance of
the president, cabled General Brooke,
inquiring as to the accuracy of the
complaints.
The most serious allegations are
against brigands and lawless elements
in the smaller towns away from the
coast. 1t is said that, taking advan-
tage of the unsettled state of the coun-
try, due to the transfer of the govern
ment from Spain to the United States.
bands of men have organized for rob-
berry and rapine, burning houses and
plantations, and levying tribute upon
the people wherever possible. In one
case, 1T is said, they made a raid on a
small town of about /, 500 inhabitants,
fifteen miles from the nearest troops,
and burned and destroyed property to
a considerable value.

SICKENING SPECTACLE.
Express Train Plows Into Mass of Work
men, Killing Eleven.


men, Killing Eleven.
New York, Nov. 19.-ln the gloom of
smoke, storm and fog that darkened
the rails of the Pennsylvania railroad
between Jersey City and Harrison, a
belated suburban train dashed into a
gang of workmen, killing eleven and
wounding four, while five others had
remarkable escapes. All the victims
lived in Jersey City.
The accident happened two miles
from Jersey City. At that point there
are four tracks, two devoted to passeu-
ger and two to freight traffic. The
men were working on freight track
when train approached. They all
stepped from the freight track onto
the passenger track, when, without
warning, the belated train dashed into
them. The scene was one of sickening
horror. Bodies were thrown hundreds
Of feet, limbs were scattered in every
direction, and the ground looked like
battlefield.

CUBA FOR CUBANs.
General Garcia Says All Cubans Favor
Absolute Independence
people.

New York, Nov. 22.-General Calixto
Garcia and the other Cuban commits
sioners from the Cuban military assem-
bly,, are in this city, enroute for Wash
ington, for the purpose of laying be-
fore President Mckinley a resolution
recently adopted by the assembly as
to the future of the island of Cuba
In an interview, General Garcia said:
II will go to Washington in day or
two to see the president, and after nv
work in the United States is accom-
plished, 1 will return to Cuba. The
Cubans have no other feeling for the
Americans than those of friendship
and gratitude. AS for myself, believe
in the United States having Cuba, but
not forever. l am for free Cubs, and
so are all other Cubans. There is no SEN
timent on the island for annexation"

pei Spain to Come to Terms.


Washington, Nov. 2l.---It is believed
that the peace negotiations are near
ing an end, and it is considered not
improbable that by the end of the
present month all of the main features
of n treaty will have to be formally
agreed to or the effort to reach an
amicable settlement must be aban-
doned.
In order to bring matters to speedy
conclusion, our commissioners, by di-
rection OF the president, will at an
early date, lay before the Spaniards
the final and irrevocabe demands of
this country, allowing a specified time
in which our conditions may be ac-
cepted or rejected. This ultimatum,
1t is understood, involves all that has
thus far been contended for, including
the surrender to the United States of
the entire Philippine group, and also
names the amount Of cash which this
government will pay to Spain in con-
sideraton of her expenditures on ac-
count OF pacific improvements and bet
terment of the distant island of Luzon.
The amount of this cash payment is
not known, but there is basis for the
belief that it is approximately S40,-

The Junior Epworth League of
Salem Church.

The Junior Epworth League of Salem
Church is making excellent progress in
the special work of that Organization
and each child, in its turn, takes part.
The following paper was prepared and
read BY Miss Myrtle Clark, the bright
little IL year old daughter of John Clark
at the last meeting of the League:
Throughout the work Of the Juniors
the small children of the church have
been brought into work that was not
done before the Junior Epworth League
was instituted.
1t learns them to study the scripture
and to lead the meeting. 1t brings
many children to Christ in their youth.
1t learns them to be loyal members to
the church, and to be loyal in giving to
the church. The boys and girls can
bring flowers for the pulpit on the Sab
bath and then take them to the sick, and
sometimes to men and women who are
sick and without Christ. 1 heard once
of four little girls taking flowers to a
man who was not a Christian, and they
bowed down and prayed before him and
God heard their prayers and fulfilled his
promise where he says, from the
mouths of babes and sucklings shall
they learn the way Of salvation" and
God saved that man.
But one of the most Important work
OF the Juniors is to be loyal to Jesus,
and what the church will be for God
and his son Jesus in the future depends
upon what the church makes the Jun
ior Epworth Leagures of the present."

relating to the pursuit and arrest OF
.O'Mara Mt Linwood, who VAS but
slightly under the influence of liquor.
When arrested his coat collar was turned
up and he did not have on any necktie
Samuel Barrett, of Linwood: Saw
O'Mara between and 8 O'Clock at Lin
wood. He had apparently been drinking
some, but was not very much intOxl-
Gated. Bought his autoharp for twenty
cents.
William E. Keates: First saw O'Mara
on Saturday. Again on Sunday when
he came into my store to buy corn-cob
pipe. The one found with the body OF
Connolly looks like it. Necktie found
with the pipe is like the one he wore.
Think it is the same one. He played for
US and Collins paid for the pipe.
I Samuel Vickers: O'Mara came to my
place Saturday evening and wanted to
play, ordered him out. He came again
Monday at about $50 p. m. and begged
for drink of whiskey. Ordered him out
and threatened him with arrest if he did
not go. He appeared to be excited but
not intoxicated. Did not have any neck
tie on, but had one on when he called
Saturday. He went up the Shore Road
after leaving my place. Saw him in the
lookup after his arrest and asked him
where his pipe and necktie were. He
made no reply.
Horace I. WINS. Saw O'Mara Sunday
morning, and again Monday p. m. at 8
O'Clock. Had on dark clothes and a
necktie that looked like the one found
with the body,
Norman Fox bright little boy of
seven years testified that O'Mara offered
him ten cents to go with him Monday
but he was afraid and did not go.
to Mr.. Blackman, aud also to Connolly
Monday about 5 p. m. Heard him
say to Connolly ''Come along, boy" as
they went toward the r. r. O'Mara
seemed to be sober and all right. lie
was not staggering at all. He had his
coat collar turned up. His pipe resembl-
ed the one found with Connelly's body.
William E. Hawkins Heard Connolly
was missing. and went with searching
party. Paid particular attention to the
position and condition of the body
Staid with the body until arrival of the
Coroner. The eyes looked as if they had
been closed after death. Found pipe
and necktie with the body.
The condition of the boy = body and
clothing led me to believe that there had
been an unsuccessful attempt to outrage
the boy before death.
This closed the evidence, of which the
foregoing is only a brief summary, and
the jury, inside of ten minutes, returned
the verdict already alluded to.

The Tyrant of the House.
While baby sleeps

While baby sleeps
We cannot jump or dance or sing,
Play jolly games or do thing
To make noise. The floor might creak
If we should walk. We scarcely speak
Or breathe while baby takes nap
Lest we should wake the little chap.
A strict watch nursie always keeps
While baby sleepsl
When baby wakes,
But little gratitude he shows
When other people want to doze.
At night, when folks have gone to bed,
He rOuses them all up instead
To wait on him. Ma lights the lamp
Aud warns milk for the little scamp.
Pa walks him up and down the floor,
Sometimes two hours and sometimes
more,
And nurse comes running, in stew,
To see what she for him can do,
And Will and Harry, at the row,
Call, whats the matter with him
now ?"
And I'm walked up at all the clatter
To wonder what on earth's the matter.
Such uproar in the house he makes
When baby wakes!
So, if fasleep or if awake,
The house exists but for his sake,
Aud such tiny fellow he
To be boss of this family!

How to Subscribe for the New
Bonds.

The war loan which is now being
offered will be sold to subscribers at par
during the period of subscription, which
ends July IA, 1898. The method of sub
scription has been made as simple as
possible. Blank forms may be obtained
at every money-order postoffice, and at
most of the banks and express offices,
and on these forms is clearly indicated
all that it is necessary for the subscriber
to fill out. The subscriber may himself
mail to the Treasury Department at
Washington the blank form Fl led out,
together with his remittance covering
the par value of the amount of bonds for
which he wishes to subscribe. That re-
mittance may be in whatever form best
suits the subscribers convenience-in
currency, bank draft, check, postoffice
money-order, or express money order.
The day the currency is received, or the
day the proceeds are received from the
checks, drafts, or money-orders, the sub
scription win be entered and will immed-
istely begin drawing interest. When the
bonds are delivered, check will accom-
pany each delivery covering the interest
at 3 per cent. from the day the subscrip-
tion is entered to the LIST of August, the
date of the bonds, and from which date
the bonds will carry their own inter
