THE NEEDS OF CUBA.
| Garcin's Son Wants the Military Cow
eminent Aholished,

Washington, July 22.--Carlos Garcia
Of Havana, son Of the late General
Garcia, the well known Cuban patriot,
is in the city. During his stay here he
expects to see the president and other
officials having to do with the affairs of
the island.
The greatest need in Cuba at this
time, Mr.. Garcia thinks, is the abolish
ment of the restrictive military govern
ment now existing, which he says is un-
satisfactory to the people, and the intro
duction of civil government with wei
dehned policy as to the future. The .peo-

A DYNAMITE OUTRAGE.
Rioters In Cleveland Do Much Dam.
age With a Bomb.
MANY CAR TRACKS BLOCKED.
Expected Now That 1t VIII BE Neo-
essnry to Call Out the Militia
There-ThinEs Quieter
In Brooklyn.

Cleveland, July 22.-A dynamite bomb
was thrown upon the roof of the big
Consolidated Street Railway company's
barn at Lake View. A jagged hole two
feet square was torn In the roof. A
Wade Park avenue car, which stood d.
rectly beneath the hole, was also wreck
ed, the roof of the car being torn off by
the explosion.
The widest excitement prevailed among
heard for blocks, and hundreds Of people
were attracted to the scene. No one
was I'M ured.
The identity Of the perpetrators of the
outrage is not known. However, the po-
lice are hard at work on the case. Many
of the windows in the big barn were
shattered by the explosion. The shock
was such as to cause the ground to trem-
BILE, and it seemed for few moments as
though the barn itself would fall.
The police suspect two men who were
seen about the building and acting in a
suspicious manner. In the excitement
attendant upon the explosion they were,
however, successful in getting away.
A Fight With the rsice.
A mob collected on BrourWay at Pc
trie street and attempted to prevent a
car from going to the barns. A small
squad of police under Captain Rowe soon
arrived and charged the crowd. A fierce
battle followed, in which the police used
their clubs savagely. The crowd soon
dispersed. Several arrests were made,
one Of the prisoners being a man who
was knocked senseless by a policemans
club.
During the night Instructions were
piled on the street railway tracks in
various parts of the city, and it was
not until late in the morning that the
immense amount of minor damage done
by mobs under the cover of the night
was clearly known at police headquar
tiers.
Hardly a street traverscd by the Big
Consolidated lines escaped. At night
and early in the morning lawless crowds
were active, destroying trolley wires and
feed wires and placing all kinds of OBJ
structions on the tracks. Police Director
Barrett stated that troops would doubt
less be called out soon to suppress mob
violence.
THE actions Of the mobs Thursday
have dissputed what doubt there re-
mains as to the ACCESSIBILITY of calling
out the militia" said the director. Such
a condition of affairs as prevails through
out the city can be no longer tolerated"

At the Sanitary Institute at South

outbreaks of typhoid fever in Liver

ice cream. Since 1898 319 persons had
applied to the Liverpool health author

and Sc had been told that owing to
unsuitability Of premises they must
make other arrangements. There had
been two convictions. and in one
case the stipendiary magistrate re-
marked that the best punishment for
the defendant would be to make him

In a paper read before the Paris
Academy Of Sciences entitled Action
of Some Gases on Caoutchouc," NJ.
D'Arsonval showed that 1T pressures
varying from one to five atmospheres
caoutchouc absorbs large quantities
OF carbonic acid gas and at the same
time increases in volume and becomes
more gelatinous and less elastic. On
exposure to air the gas is gradually
lost and the caoutchouc resumes its
ioriginal properties. Hence vessels of
caoutchonc readily allow carbonic acid
gas to pass through their walls. The
action is much slower in the case of
oxygen and is slight with nitrogen.
From these experiments M. D'Arson-
val suggests that bicyclists should in
fate their tires with, nitrogen. This,
however, would not seem to be neces-
sary, according to Invention, for after
the tires have been repeatedly Debated
through loss Of oxygen and then
pumped up with ordinary air the pro-
portion of oxygen inside the tire y
comes small and practically pure nitI }.

Even that view Of the Juvenile court
which one may get from reading the

courts highest efficacy may consist in

them. The boy Of IL charged with tru-

pleaded when confronted with the
