A CUBAN THREAT
That War Will Be DECLARED on the
United States Unless the Ameri-
cans Get Out" by July.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, February 2s.-It
was recently reported to Gen Leonard
Wood. on reliable authority, that a prom
inent Cuban, holding a high position in
this province under the military govern
ment, had openly stated that if the Amer
.cans did not get OUT by July, Cuba
would declare war. Needless to say the
military governor attaches no Importance
to talk of this character.
Very little in the way of public i'm
provements is now going on in this de-
partment. Gen. Wood is able to keep
only what has already been done He has
no power in the handling Of funds, EXCEPT
so far as tho monthly allowance is con-
cerned, and this prevents fresh contracts
and the giving of work to thousands of
Cubans who want 1t.
Santiago province gave Havana last
month S5o,0o0, All branches of the de-
partment government, civil and military
complain that they are badly hampered
by orders from Havana. In any event,
improvements have practically ceased.

trait, the project of police was ordered
by the government to make strict invesi-
cation into the recent proceedings of the
monarchist party.
Last evening the project communicated
the result of his inquiries to NJ. Dupuy,
premier and minister of the interior, with
the result that the minister decided upon
vigorous action
AT midnight NJ. Couchefort chief of the
secret police, was summoned to the pre-
lecture and directed to prepare seventeen
confidential letters and seventeen war;

AntijUif; Messrs. Deveaux, Buffet, Rob
ert de Chavilly, Thiebaud, De Monicourt,
secretary of the Due dOrleans, Dubuc,
president of the Young anti-Semites and
Comte Sabran de Ponteves.
The confidential letters indicated that
the warrants aimed to discover the ex-
istence of any political action on the part
of the anti-Semit.c League or its rela-
tions with the Royalst and Bonapartist
committees or with other leagues.
No incident occurred in the course of
the domiciliary visits
This morning NJ. Buffet, who represents
the Due dOrleans, vigorously protested
against the violation of his domicile, and
declared that the Royalist party would al
ways conspire, even if threatened with
Imprisonment. Many documents were
seized at NJ. Bullets residence.
Quantities of propagandist pamphlets
and portraits of the Due dOrleans. a list

B. P. O. E.


Addresses Last Evening at st. Andrews
p. Il. Mission In the Eighth Ward, by the
Rev. Luther w. Doggett, the Rector
Brief But Excellent Address on the Lodge
and It's Aims.
Last evening at the st. Andrews P.
E. Mission on South Jacob street, the
services were conducted by the rector,
Rev. Luther W. Doggett. The services
were attended by the Wheeling Lodge
of the Protective and Benevolent Order
OF Elks, of which body the rector is
member. On account of the late ar
! rival of the Elks, Rev. Doggett's re-
marks were very brief. He spoke on
the general subject of the organization
of Elks.
He said that he felt highly honored
by the body's presence at his church
from the fact that the attendance at
the mission was voluntary. He felt
highly honored that it was his privi-
lege to speak to such a large body Of
men, men made better by the principles
of the lodge.
The order has four great principles:
Charity, justice, brotherly love and
fidelity. On these four principles the
order has been founded.
In speaking of the first of the prin-
ciples, Rev. Doggett said he did not
know of a more liberal order. In the
time of necessity, want and care, the
first great principle Of the order ex-
erted itself by stretching out helping
hand to the needy and consolation and
assistance to the widow. The second
principle-The members practiced
among themselves, to their neighbors
and to their God. Brotherly love, the
third principle, is frequently put far
above the other three. 1t is the very
foundation stone on which the
order has been established. The
last great principle of the
world-to love their enemies
as themselves has always been one of
the Elks. Rev. Doggett then gave a
description of the word as it is regard
ed in that lodge. The fraternal affec-
ton with which every member regard
ed the other is felt by every member
of every family where one member is
an Elk. How proud every one should
be of an order with such a principle.
In closing Rev. Doggett said that
each member lives by the principles of
the order and suffers for them if neces-
sary. And if there is any work to be
done let each one volunteer to any

MAN CAGES OF MUNSTER.


The rebuilding of the ancient Lam
bertus church in the historically Janus
town Of Munster, in Germany, has been
the means of calling to mind a number
of atrocities associated with this edifice
during the dark ages. Some extremely
picturesque ceremonies marked the fes-
tival to celebrate the completion of the
new church, the last function being the
replacing of the three ancient man
cages of iron on the new belfry. These
cages are significant mementos of some
of the most barbarous and horrible
crueIties prompted by religious bigotry.
They were at one time used both as
prisons and collins and figured conspic-
uously in the prosecutions which were
carried on against Bockelson, who call
ed himself Jan Won Leyden, king of An
ahaOtiStS o~I L.
orc among whom the names or hnlp-
o.a,o,1ino and Krechting are familiar.
that Bockelson, Knipperdolling and
Krechting were captured and cast into
these man cages and then carried to the
open market place. Here crowds of
the devout townspeople paid threepence
apiece for the delightful privilege of
burning the flesh of each captive with
hot irons, supplied for the purpose. For
the extra pleasure OF stabbing any one
of the doomed men an additional penny
was charged. Their flesh was torn from
their quivering bodies while they were

TOY FOUND IN A SECRET ROOM.

There was recently found in a house
in England which had once belonged
to a wealthy and rather eccentric old
gentleman an eXquisitely made model
of an old battleship. 1t is a wonderful
piece of work, having been carved from
a single piece of ivory, and is an exact
reproduction in miniature Of one Of the
famous old wooden walls" of which
Englishmen were so justly proud as
being the bulwarks of England's great
ness.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-02-27

The owner of the model valued his
treasure very highly during his life
time. and was so jealous of its beauty
that he always kept it hidden away in
a secret chamber known only to him.
self. Sometimes when alone he would
take it out and gloat over its delicacy
and perfection of form. For many
years after his death the model re-
manned hidden and almost forgotten
and was only brought to light the other
day by accident while repairs were be-
ing made to the house.

While in cid times it was more or less
the custom, in the interment of bodies,
to bury them with their feet to the east,
q custom now substantially superseded
by the almost common practice Of bury
ing the body with the feet to the path
along the front OF the lot, 80 was 1t once
more or less the custom to place the
coffin In the room in which the deceased
was to lie before burial with the feet to
the east. Nowadays the disposal of the
body in the room would be determined al
together by the shape and size Of the
room, except that commonly the feet
would be placed toward the door.
Though the common way Ia to place the
body in the center of the room. another
way, in comparatively modern practice.
is to place the coffin or casket across one
corner of the room. This gives oppor-
tunity for convenient and effective dis
position Of flowers and floral pieces, and
it perhaps affords a better view Of the
face. XII
As to the manner Of moving body to
Its burial, that is always done with the
feet foremost. 1t Is carried out of the
house in that way, put into the hearse
