LONDON, April 4. "Details have been
obtained by the Associated Press Of the

to show that Havana harbor was mined
and they unQuestionably prove that
Spain purchased mines for that pur.
pose. The firm of Lattimer, Rhodes &
Clark, electrical engineers, filled a large
order for Spain of a lot Of mines i'll

gena. The mines were manufactured
under the direction of J. P. Gibbons,
after Gibbons patents. which are de.
scribed in Siemens' book on torpedoes
and mines. Gibbons, who is a former
sergeant of engineers and a govern

the Names first explosion was caused
by what is technically called a ground
mine containing 800 pounds Of guncot'
ton, several Of which were manufac
tured for Spain. Gibbons says the
mines and their connecting cables are
numbered, and he asserts he would bt
able to identify them if any part i
secured.

SOMETHING JUST AS Co.,
How a Bilious Man Gave Up His Two Cups

of Breakfast Coffee.
An east end man was advised some
s.ne ago not to drink coffee. His doctor
rold him it helped to make his liver tor.
old and his liver was doing its best to
render life miserable for himself and all
the rest Of the family.
But. no. he couldn't give up his two
ups at breakfast time. He couldn't
make the sacrifice. Nothing could take
the place Of the delicious Java and
Mocha mixed that he had learned to
love.
One day his wife suggested in a mild
way that he might be just AS we'll sat
issied with one Of the brands of imita-
.ion coffee. He almost frothed at the
mouth.
THAT internal stuff he cried.
Not much. The very first gulp would
settle me. I'd like to see anybody try 20
scol me with counterfeit of that sort. .
He didn't notice that his wife quietly
smiled. But, strange to say, from that
time on he grew better. His bilious
tendency was greatly lessened. He felt
like a new man.
One day he met the doctor.
Hello, doc!' he cried. I'm getting
better in spite Of you"
"Given up coffee, have you:' Queried
the smiling doctor.
"Given up coffee: Not much. Coffee's
all right

LOVING ANOTHER WOMAN

Chicago. Dec. 2-The coroner's inquest
was begun today in the case Of Mrs. Nj
chael Roflinger, who. the police assert.
was murdered and partially cremated by
her husband. The accused man somewhat
startled the police and spectators when
confronted by Lena Hecker. the woman
for whose sake the crime IS alleged TO
have been committed, by stolidly staring
a. her and then declaring that he did not
know her and had never even met her
before. This action on she accused mans
part, coupled with his apparent utter in
difference to his surroundings, lead the
police 10 believe that Rollinger Is feigning
insanity.
The Journal today points out twenty
points of remarkable similarity between
the Rollinger case and that OF AdoIDh
Luetgert. now serving a life sentence tor

than the wife is asserted 10 have been

of whom was a sausage maker and a
German. the other d butcher and an Aus

wives, and both suffered business re-

Roilinger's body has been exhumed. and

AS a result of uhe inquest, Rollinger was
held without bail on a charge Of murder
and Lena Hecker was ordered detained
as a witness. In her testimony before the
cOroner's jury, Miss Hecker stated that
Rollinger had asked her 10 marry him,
saying that in two months time EVERY
