THE GAMBLER WINS ALWAYS.


Among the battered hotsam and

the Times Democrat, is a shabby round
table with a curious secret, and no
doubt still more curious history. The
top was once covered with green bill
lard cloth, which is worn TO tatters
and discloses a steel plate set in the
center and perhaps ten inches square.
The whole top is loose and can be re-

WOULD BE KING OF CUBA.
Bombastic and Chimerical Scheme to
Establish a Monarchy.

HAVANA, July 1.-THE newspaper
La LuCha will say tomorrow: The
latest is the establishment of a royalist
party. The new organization is unim-
portant at present, probably number
ing fewer than fifty members, but a
well known Cuban General, who claims
to be a descendant of Charlemagne, is
reported to be the head of the party and
the meeting place is usually the Ingla-
terra Cafe. The Cuban General in
question is said to be dissatisfied with
American rule. He thinks that what
cuba needs is not a republic, but a
strong hand at the helm like his own.
He is of the opinion that the people of
the Latin race prefer royalty and the
possible honors accruing under a mon
archial regime. He is the officer who
was recently reported to Governor
General Brooke for collecting 80 CEN
times from a Spanish merchant on the
ground that ii was an assessment for
a fund devoted to driving out the in
terVenerS.
According to such other reports of
this bombastic scheme as have leaked
out the promoter has represented that
he will persuade a majority of the AL
caldes to give the movement their sup
port by promising to make them dukes,
counts and barons.

GERMAN GUNNERY.
How the Coast Guard is Trained
Annually.

Summer visitors at Swinemunde, says
the London Graphic, a German port on
the Baltic sea, often witness interesting
tests of the gunnery of the coast de-
tenders.
An old sailing vessel which has been
condemned as unseawOTthy is calked
up and fitted out with temporary fight
ing masts and then towed out into the
open. At a signal the shore batteries
attack the floating enemy, trying
with well directed shots to sink her to
the bottom. 1t does no take many
rounds to place a shell or two below
the waterline, after the fighting tops
and rigging have been we'll riddled, and
the old seahorse that has ridden the
waves for half a century or more
plunges headlong to the bottom of the
sea.
The kaiser is often a spectator of the
trial of skill, and rewards the best
marksmen with speedy promotion. The
trials are held annually, and while they
are really not a thorough test of the eff
cheney Of the coast guard they will af-
ford a picturesque and striking instance
of how helpless antiquated vessels are
before modern cannon.

The Soldier Who Fought

Yellow Jack.

ter months of 1898 were really victims Of
the dread yellow scourge in more or
less mild form The fact that their hos
pital papers bore the words ''pernicious
malaria" did not serve to lessen the peril
of the patients, but it prevented the
danger Of a panic and helped materially
in the reconstruction and publication Of
the city.
And that was why General Leonard
Wood, military and civil Governor OF san
tiago de Cuba, knowingly and with pre-
meditation, successfully concealed the
fact that yellow fever existed within the
confines of the province.
That General Wood fully anticipated the
present outbreak Is beyond question. He
knew that fever would return in force
this summer despite all that medical skill
and sanitary precautions could do to pre-
vent 1t.
1T is as impossible to carry American
troops and civilians through the hot trop-
ical months of June, July and August
without a number of fatalities from yell
low fever as 1t would be to stop Mauser
bullet without being hurt" he said.
"I say it is Impossible to entirely es-
cape" he added, but, please God, we
will do everything in the power of man
to reduce the casualties as much as pos
sible. If we succeed in cutting the regu-
lar annual record of deaths one-half, or
even one-fourth, I shall be satisfied

Santiago since General Wood assumed
charge is q matter of common fame.
There are some men who might have felt
discouraged when confronted with the
task that faced General Wood last July.
1t only spurred him on.
''It is yellow fever we must fight,
Hanna" he said to his aid as the two
took their first ride through the city.
1--WE have a foe here which Is going to
give US a life and death struggle. He
Is there in that heap of refuse, and in
that adobe shanty over there, and here
beneath our feet. We must fight him
with brooms and shovels, with soap and
water, and with new rules that will turn
this town upside down."
One of the first precautions taken by
the nervy, cool-headed American was to
decry the fact that yellow fever existed
in Santiago. Experience with human ma
ture told him that the widespread pub
lication of the fact would serve no good
cause but that it would possibly create
a panic, cause Generalization and prac-
tically put check upon his plans for re-
deeming the city from its centuries of
filth Good work cannot be expected from
men who feel that they are walking cheek
by jowl with Yellow Jack.
His second recaution-seemingly
paradox-was the conversion Of a small
island in Santiago Bay into hospital for
the treatment of contagious fevers. Build
ings completely equipped with medical
facilities were erected and everything
provided for the very visitation now oc-
curing in the city.
Shortly after the hospital was IN readi-
ness so many cases were sent there that
attention was attracted TO 1t. One Amert-
can connected with the Postoff1ce went to

Wood smiled grimly when the man stated
his errand.
yellow fever?" he exclaimed. Non
sensel The reports say pernicious ma
laria. and I guess the doctor knows what
he is talking about"
Each day the one paper then being pub
Iished in Santiago recorded the death of
from two to ten citizens or soldiers from
pernicious malaria. These reports excited
little or no comment. There was a IA
miIiar ring TO the word malaria at least
to the Americans, and if they wondered at
all it was that "chills and fever" could
carry off so many.
One day the man in charge of the Mer-
ritt & Chapman wrecking operations on
the Spanish warships strolled into the

the cathedral. Then the doctor, according
to the rules, made his report at the palace
