IS MUCH BETTER.
continued Improvement Is Shown In
the Condition of Vice Presi-
dent Hobart.

Paterson, N. j., Nov. 13.-V:ce Pros
'ident Hobart passed favorable night,
and the improvement that has been
observed for several days continued
Sunday. He ate solid food with relish
and it promptly assimilated. With
his meals he took milk and between
meals was given milk punches. This
is marked change from his condition
ten days ago. At that time he was
rapidly sinking and his stomach had
refused food of all kinds. For sew
eral days he lived on grapes and the
juice of grape fruit, but it soon ap-
peared that his stomach was so con-
gested that he could not even take
these. Mr.. Hobart now spends most
of his time in a reclining position and
he sleeps without the aid of opiates.
The most painful and alarming fea-
ture of his illness has been his at
lacks of nervousness as night ap-
proaches. These attacks have de-
creased. Mrs. Hobart, who has spent
nearly every minute of her time dur
ing the past two weeks at the bed
side of her husband, feels very much
encouraged.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
The Strained Relations Between the
Two Countries Apparently BE-
coming More Marked.

London, Nov. 13.-The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
An uneasy feeling regarding the re-
lations of Russia and Japan is spread
ing here. There is no doubt that
Japan is practically allied with China,
despite the degradation which the en-
press dowager inflicted upon the Chi
nese ENJOYS to Japan on their recent
return. This was merely a tactical
move, with a view to appeasing Rus
STA. A large Russian fleet intends win
tering in Nagasaki harbor, and some
remonstrance by Japan is probable.
Prince Henry of Prussia, the COM
mander of the German squadron in
the North Pacific, is watching the
progress of events. He recently de-
clared in the course of conversation
that the japanese army was in splen-
did condition from the European point
of view.
London, Nov. 13.-Hurry orders have
been received by the builders of the Jap
anese battleship now in process of con-
struction at Clyde Bank, to complete
the vessel as speedily as possible. The
new ship, which will be one of the
largest afloat, is to be finished by Jan
uary I, 1900. It is believed that these
instructions are the result of increasing
tension between Japan and Russia.

BATTLE IN VENEZUELA
Porto CabeIlo Surrendered to Cas-

Porto Cabello, Venezuela, Nov. Ia
Gen. Paroles, former commander in
the army of ex-Presid ent Andrade, who
had refused the demand made upon him
by Gen. Cipriano Castro and the de facto
authorities to surrender the town, even
when this was reinforced by the re-
quest of the British, American, French,
German and Dutch commanders, sur
rendered Sunday morning at ten o'clock
after terrible battle. The aspect of the
city is one of ruin and devastation, and
It is estimated that upwards of $50 per-
sons we. e killed or wounded during the
fighting. DR.. BREASTED, of the United
States cruiser Detroit, and the other
surgeons of the various warships in the
harbor, are ministering to the wants of
the wounded.
Gen. Ramon Guerra began land at
tack upon the town and the position of
Gen. Paroles on Friday night. Des-
ultory fighting continued until Satur-
day morning about four o'clock, and
then a fierce struggle ensued. Gen.
Paroles made a stubborn defense, but
Gen. Guerra forced an entrance into the
town at five o'clock Saturday. As early
as eight o'clock Saturday morning the
fleet arrived and began bombardment,
but the range was too great and the
firing proved ineffective. Gen. Paroles
held the fort on the hill and Fort Lib
ertador until Sunday morning.

WILL SOON RELAX,
AppR rent Monetary Stringency in the
East Will BE Relieved in
a Short Time.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Treasury Of
ficials expect that within a short time
the money drawn from the financial in
situations of the east for the movement
of crops and other purposes in the west
will begin to find its way to New York
and that the apparent stringency in
money will be accordingly relaxed.
This return. which this year they say
appears to be somewhat later than
usual, will be brought about by the
payment of the debts contracted by
business men in the west whose notes
either already have matured or are
closely approaching maturity. Mean
time the authorities here declare that
no exigency exists for any relief meas
ures on the part of the government. and
pending an eNigency no action in that
direction is contemplated

a STRANGE AFFAIR.
Explosion Of Dynamite Wrecks TIVE
Buildin9s and Kills One Man
in UPbana, Ii.

Waterloo, Ia, Nov. Is. - The little
town of Urbana, in the eastern part of
Benton county, was the scene of an
atrocious crime early Saturday morn
ing. The Office building of the Weekly
Monitor and the structure occupied by
Jay ID. Burrell as bank and general
merchandise store were blown up with
dynamite and Clarence Burrell, son of
the banker, killed. The crime was COM
mitted at 2:10 o'clock. At that hour
the residents were awakened from
sound sleep by two terrific explosions
which shook the whole town. In few
minutes the streets were filed with
scores of frightened men and women
hurrying to learn the cause of the COM
motion. They found the Monitor office
had been blown to pieces, not vestige
of the building being left on the foun-
dalton. The Burrell store had been
wrecked and was burning fiercely. A
few minutes. later the body of young
Burrell was found among the debris in
the street.
The young man had been aroused by
the first explosion and with his brother
Will hurried toward his fathers build
ing. Just as he mounted the steps the
second explosion occurred. blowing out
the front of the building and killing
him instantly. The force of the shock
threw the young mans body across the
street. 1t was terribly crushed and
mangled. There is no clew to the per-
petrators of the deed, but it seems evil
dent that robbery was not the motive
that actuated them. The safe in the
Burrell store was found intact. 1t con-
tanned $4,000 in money and $4,000 in
notes and mortgages. Fire completed
the ruin wrought by the dynamite The
loss to the Burrell store is placed at
$4,000. The printing office loss is about
$4,000.
No one in the little village can i'm
agine the motive for such a crime. So
far as known neither Mr.. Burrell nor
Editor Fisher had any enemies who
would resort to such desperate tactics
for revenge.
Cedar Rapids, Ia. Nov. 13.-County
Attorney Tobin, of Benton county. tel
ephoned Sunday night that there was
nothing new in the Urbana dynamite
mystery and that no arrests had been
made. A large quantity of dynamite
was sold in a neighboring town a few
days ago, and the authorities have
been furnished a description of the
men buying it. The belief now is that
the bank was wrecked in an attempt
to rob it.
