pRIRn of Abuse Against American Gov
eminent Are in Hard LInoa.

Ponce, P. R., March l7.-Three Of
the four newspapers of Ponce recently
began a campaign of scurrilous abuse
against Secretary of Justice Diaz and
the military government. They were
warned to moderate the tone Of their
articles but the warning passed un.
needed. One morning the citizens of
Ponce missed their papers and, upon
going down town, found the offices oc.
cupied by American troopers, who had
been ordered by the district commander
to close the establishments The editor
of one Of the papers refused to submit
to the officer who took possession of
his Office. In an alteration that fol.
lowed the editor drew knife. A sol
der from Missouri, in the excitement
OF the moment, used his fist with al
most deadly effect upon the fighting
journalist. 1t was some hours before
the latter revived.

Newton, Kan, March IS. George
Eaton, of Columbus, Kan, wanted for
burglary, was arrested here yester.
day. Eaton was a dentist of high
standing at Columbus for two or
three years. There have been rob-
berries at intervals in that city and
all attempts to locate the thief
have been futile. A week ago a
iewelry store was robbed and some
of the iewelry found upon Eaton's
wife. He was arrested at his home,
but managed to escape by running
past the guards with his baby in his
arms, the guards not shooting for fear
of killing the child. When arrested
here he made a full confession, &C.
knowledging that he committed all
the mysterious robberies in Columbus
for the past several years.

DEATH IN A HOTEL FIRE.
Unknown Number OF Lives Lost
Forty Persons Iojured.

New York, March iS.-Flames which
originated from the igniting of lace
curtain burst forth from the second
floor of the Windsor hotel at Forty
seventh street and Fifth avenue, short
ly after three o'clock yesterday after
noon, just as the st. Patrick's day
parade was passing the building, and
in few minutes they had leaped up
to the roof and enveloped the entire
Fifth avenue and Forty-seventh street
fronts of the hotel Ten minutes later
the flames were roaring through the
interior of the hotel and all escape
by means of stairways and elevators
was cut off. There was the widest
scene of excitement within and with
out the building Hundreds of guests
and employees were in the hotel when
the fire broke out and for many of
them escape with safety was impossi-
BILE.
Probably from ten to Is lives we're
lost within a half hour, and 80 or 40
persons were injured in jumping from
windows and in rushing through the
roaring flames in the corridors and on
the stairways. Many who were In
iured died later in nearby residences
and at hospitals, and others who made
wild leaps to the stone sidewalk were
so badly injured that they are still
lowering between life and death. 1t
may be "a hours or more before the
complete list OF fatalities becomes
known, and it will be longer than
that before it can be ascerLained def

in the mass of fallen masonry that
marks the spot where the hotel stood.
The loss on the hotel is estimated at
about $1,OOO,O 600. Several adjoining
buildings were damaged considerably,
but the loss on these is comparatively
small

In Cuba-Gen. Brooke Posted.

Washington, March 17..-There has
been further telegraphic correspond
ence between Gen, Brooke and the
war department regarding conditions
in Cuba with the result that hereafter
Zen. Brooke will confne himself
wholly within the terms of the reso-
luton adopted by congress before the
war. No government, organization or
set of men will be recognized. The
United States government will deal
directly with the people of Cuba. 1t
is not stated who the 'people" are,
but 1t is inferred that the United
States authorities will determine that
point as different questions arise.
In the same connection it is re-
garded as important that the cen.
sus which has been determined
should be taken so as to ascertain
the resident citizens of the island The
Cuban assembly will be dealt with as
any other organization. If its sessions
provoke riot and disturbances it will
be dispersed like any other disorderly
body. If its meetings are harmless
and amount to nothing more than the
vociferation of men, no attention will
be paid to it. II the assembly gets in
the way of the United States author
ity in the preservation OF the peace
and tranquility of the island, then the
assembly or any other set of men must,
in the language of the American po-
lice, move on"

Waiter In n Dilemma.

1t was in one of the large downtown res.

her tall husband went to dinner one night.
"Will you have oysters?" asked the man,
glanc}ng over the bill of fare.
YES" said the short little woman, as she
tried in vain to touch her toes to the floor.
"And, John, | want hassock"
John nodded and, as he handed his order
to the waiter he said: eyes, and bring a.
hassock for the lady"
Zone hassock?" asked the waiter, with
what John thought more than ordinary in
terest, as he nodded in the affirmative, Still
the waiter did not go, but brushed the table
cloth with towel and rearranged the ar
ticles on it several times, while his face got
very red Then he came around to Johns
side and, speaking soto voce, said: Say,
not on to all these things. will the lady
have the hassock boiled or ed?"--Chicago

THE END MAY BE NEAR.
Otis BelisveA That climax wmI shortly
Occur In tho Philippines Consul VIII
liAms Takes "a Different View.


Washington, March is There was
much reticence shown at the war de-
partment yesterday to discuss cable
dispatch from Gen. Otis, which was re-
Rarded as most important by those
who read 1t as indicating that hostili-
ties might cease very suddenly in the
Philippines and collapse OF the insur.
rection come at any time. The reasons
for the belief OF Gen. Otis that a
climax might come at any hour was
not stated, but his assumption was
based on the favorable reports he had
received from various sources that the
Filipinos were tired of the war and
Aguinaldo's leadership 1t is be.
lieved at the war department that
the method in which the Americans
have conducted the fighting has done
much to convince the Fllipiuos of the
uselessness of trying to drive out the
United States forces The fighting
has been of different character from
that to which they were accustomed
when the Spaniards were in possession
OF Manila.
Gen. Otis cable has caused a great
deal of qualification. 1t was sent to
the president at Townsville. The
preparations that have been under
way to send further troops and sup
plies to the Philippines have not been
curtailed, however. The light bat.
teries which Gen. Otis requested in
the cable of Thursday night will be
sent, as they may be usefnl in future
operations and in case of disturbances
in distant parts of the island.
United States Consul Williams says:
u don't expect to live to see the end of
the war" The rebels shift about so
much that tits impossible to estimate
their numbers. The correspondent
questioned several generals as to the
number of the rebels and the replies
ranged from 10000 to 100, 900. The esti-
mates of the quantity of arms possessed
by the rebels are equally uncertain.
The best authorities say 10000. Large
sections of the armed natives are
ignorant Of the use of their weapons.

vancement of Science by Sir William
Crookes in which he declared that by
the next generation chemistry may
have to be resorted to in order to in
crease the production of breadstuffs or

John Hyde, statistician of the United

agrees with the statement and says
that in 80 years our export trade in
grain will have entirely ceased and we
may have to struggle with the prob
lem OF producing enough for home
