1.-THE suffering i'm Cuba is terrible. and
something should be done very soon to
stop it"
Col. Myron NJ Parker, who returned
from his trip to cuba last night with
Senator Proctor. made the above state
ment today. Many persons called TO wei
come him back during the day, and to
each ne gave the same opinion.
Col Parker said that he thought il was
the duty Of the American Government to
settle the Cuban question, aud that action
should rot be postponed.
He visited the provinces of Pinar del
Rio. Cabanas. Matanzas. and Santa Clara
and had every opportunity for studying
the condition of the people, the workings
Of the autonomy scheme. and for seeing
The awful suffering of the recontrados
He saw that government by autonomy
was a failure.
The Cunans viii not accept autono-
my" he said land the Spaniards are OPP
posed 10 it. The Cuban cause is stronger
than il has ever been. The best Cuhans
on the island are numbered among those
who are fighting for their independence.
They all want liberty or death, and
there are now about 10000 Cuhans i'm
arms. Gen. Gomez is the great leader OF
the island and there is not a Cuban in
my opinion that would not die FOR him
II need be in the battle for Independence.
Gen. Gomez moves whenever he
pleases ana the Spanish DO not seem to
be able TO stop him. The provinces of the
east are strongholdS of the insurgents.
and il is no; likely that they VIII ever be
wrested from them 10y the Spanish. In
fact it does not seem TO ne that the Span
iyh viii ever regain control Of the island.
There are only few Curans who have
gone over to the autonomy cause. and
they are chiefly mon who have g'iey-
anceS.
THE war has reduced the island To a
state If devastation. u is no eNag@cra-
tion to say that il has been one of cxter-
mination. can YOU believe me whom ] tell
yoG that the official Spanish records i'm
Havana state that 100000 reconcentrados
have been starved to death?
THE rest are starving now. IL is only a
question Of time before they viii die. un-
less something is done very soon. They
men are engaged i'm the cause of free
dom"
Colonel Parker thought that the war
would continue at the present rate in
definitely. unless America interviewed. for
the Spanish soldiers would rather serve in
cuba than in the regular army al home.
What do you think about the blowing
up Of the Maine he Was asked
In my own mind there j. no doubt
that the Main. was blown mp by an OK
terror explosion. The Americans in cuba
and many Spaniards are certain that she
was blown up 10y mine as the result Of
q plot.
81 certainly think that il the islands
would ever become part of the United
States that they would be thoroughly in
hahiiable There is no smallpox. as has
been claimed The soil is fertile and the
weather was even cooler while we were
there than il was in Florida. II is an
Eden. cuba would make a very desirable
place Of residence for Americans.

resolution is important and may have a
direct influence in bringing Cuban mat
tiers to a head
II recites that all diplomatic efforts OF
the Government eXerted FOR an amicable
adjustment and payment Of the just in
demnity due To aforesaid citizens of the
United States having proved unavailing.

PECULIAR CASE OF INSANITY.
A Feather the Link Between Reason
and a Raving Maniac

Rondout, N. Y, March IA peculiar
case of insanity has been noted in the
poorhouse at Cairo, Greene county,
where woman, Mrs. James Went

a strange mania. At all times she has
in her fingers feather which she curls.

dustrious man who saved his money and at the time of his death was SUD- posed to have had $500 or $700 To se- cure this money, as VI ell as to free the team from the >\dmbrance on it due Hanna furnishes the motive for the crime
 Hanna's parents reside in McGregor, Texas, and the last letter received by them from him was on January 3, 1898, the letter having been written a few days previously and it is supposed that the murder was committed about that time.
 Hanna owned a watch with Q nina tura gold locomotive on one side, and had other trinkets which could be rec ognized if found, and from the fact that Sheriff Ruffner n his telegrams stated that he had found good evidence against Barnes, it is supposed that he found some of thasa in his possession.
 Hanna was wanted at Carson, New, as a witness in Q government robbery case, and wrote the officers that he would return at any time he was want ed. The subpoena was sent hsra in the spring to be served but officers were unable to find him, which raised the suspicion that he had been foully dealt with, but until the discovery of the skeleton in the brush heap, nothing could be learned in regard to him.
 The cOrOner'S jury which held the in quest found that deceased came to his death at the hands of some party to them unknown.
 The skull of the dead man is in pos session of the sheriff and it shows that the fatal bullet entered just back of the left ear, coming out on the right side of the head a little lower down than it had entered. The murder had evident ly been committed beneath the limbs of juniper tree, and the tree had af- rewards been cut down and chopped up into wood and the brush carefully piled on the body

CHRISTIAN BROTHERS EXILED.
Differences With Supporters in France
 May Divide the Order.

1 St. Louis, Dee. 25.-IGev. Brother Fe- lix, for many years director of the Christian Brothers college of this city and formerly connected with the La Sale institute of Chicago. has been re- moved from office and sent to an ob- scure mission at Birmingham, Eng land. His loss of authority and trans fer are equivalent to punishment Brother Paulian, who is visiting di- rector of all the branch houses of the order in this province, is in Paris, and 1t is well understood that he will no longer be connected with the college in St. Louis, if, indeed, he too is not sent into retirement.
 Word comes from San Francisco that Brother Ambrose, director of the San Francisco house and a leading educator of the west, has been exiled to India, and it is reported cn seemingly good authority that other directors from the colleges of the order in America will be similarly dealt with
 This wholesale disciplining of men eminent in the educational affairs Of the Catholic church is the result Of lCng-standing divergence of opinion be- tween the leading Christian brothers of this country and the parent, or rul- ing, house of the order in France.
 If Brothers Felix and Ambrose and other prominent men in the order should ignore this ordered punishment and return to this country it would presGge the establishment Of an inde- pendent community.
 The complications arise over an at tempt by the French superiors to con- pei the brothers in this country to eliminate the classics from the curri- culUm Of their colleges.

A MOUNTAIN OF QUICKSILVER.
Richest Mine in the. Country is Found
 Cn an Oregon Farm

Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 25.-A noun tain of queer looking ere found in Lane county, Oregon, several years ago, has turned cut tc be one of the biggest quicksilver deposits in the United Sta .es.
 The surrounding country is farm land. Net long ago the farmers discov- cred the ore in question to be cinniba~. from which quicksilver is derived. They bored three tunnels all rum nj g through pure cinnabar ore. Recently they sold the minel fer S45,000 to Ia ccma and Port Townsend men. who will erect a smelter upon it.
 Richard Chilcott, one of the owners, has just returned from New York, where he found that the unsold sup ply of quicksilver in the country amounts to only $500 flasks of sixty six pounds each. He says his mine will produce 500 flasks mcnthly. Ship ments tc New York in carload los will commCn next mCnth.
