Bland Slightly Better.

St Louis. June IA special to the Re-
public from Lebanon. Mo-, says that
Richard P. Bland is slightly better this
evening. During the day he was able to
take some nourshment. He regained con-
sciousness and talked with those about
him. While the attending physicians will
not say whether there is a chance for the
patients recovery, the family and friends
are hopeful.
A dispatch from the associated press cor
respondent at Lebanon says: At 10 o'clock
tonight Mr. Bland was reported as rest
ing quietly, but wholly unconscious. The
brightness shown by him during the day
and the seeming change for the better of
the patient during the afternoon was to-
night followed by a pronounced state of
coma. As each alternate day is a bad
day with him, the family fears the
result of tomorrow. In his extremely
weak condition another sinking spell
would probably prove fatal. as his recu-
perative powers We're considerably weak
ened to-day, when he was revived only
by the rigorous use of the electric brush
on the eStremites.

A TRICK EXPOSED.
A Consul Heard the Cubans Laying Their
Plans.

Havana, June 11.-Some weeks ago
dispatches were published in the local
papers purporting to come from San
tiago de Cuba and announcing that the
Cubans there had absolutely refused
to accept the American gratufty. These
messages We're really fabricated by of
ficers of the late Cuban army in this
city, two nights before they appeared
in the cafe of the Hotel Inglaterre. The
consul of a foreign power, who under
stands Spanish perfectly, sat at
table adjoining the one used by the
Cuban officers in question and heard
every word of the message as finally
agreed upon, including the correctness
of the original draft and the details
of the plan for forwarding them there
to Santiago and having it telegraphed
from that point to Havana as if sent
from a Cuban official. The plan was
executed according to programme. The
consul who overheard the plot is a man
of undoubted Veracity. Though at
present he objects to a public use of
his name and is not unfriendly to the
Cubans. he believes that tricks like
these tend to injure American in
t1uence. are unwise and ought to be

Bennett for several days. The weather
is now moderating. Wind has broken
up the ice in Lake Bennett, leaving
open water, through which some scows
and sail boats started down the lake.
One large scow, loaded with potatoes
and several thousand dollars worth of
merchandise and provisions, was
caught in the ice and crushed The
men were all saved, but they had a
narrow escape. Their names could not
be ascertained.
Lake Summit was frozen solidIy Fri

Bennett is said to be three feet lower
this year than last, and eight inches
too low for launching steamers now on
the bank. Cariboo Crossing, at the
lower end of Lake Bennett has only a
few inches of water in it, and boats
cannot possibly cross it unless the
water rises several feet. No communi-

navigation opens and permits of boats

come to the springs 10 days ago In
the course of an interview with an as
sociated press representative to-day
regarding the Jeffries challenge, Shar-
key expressed qualification at the pros

pion.
II will meet him anywhere said
Sharkey. "Of course, | naturally want
to fight before the club Offering the
largest purse, preferably in San Fran
cisco. | think | have as many friends
in California as Jaffres has and be-
lieve | can get a square deal in San
Francisco. l am ready to post my for
felt at any time, and will be pretarad
to enter the ring within six weeks.
"Jeffries will not lean all over me"
continued the sailor pugilist "as he dill
in his fight with old man Ftzsimmons.
Jeffries talks slightngly about Wyatt
Earp's decision, but be forgets about
the time Alex Greggains put it all over
me in his decision.
Il have one stipula ton to make,
however and that is regarding the size
of the ring. l will meet Jcffres under
Marquis of Queensbury rules, and those
rules call for 24-foot ring. l want
no 1S-foot ring in mine. No champion
ship fight is ever properly held in an
1S-foot ring.
"Jeffries now says he wants all the
purse or none. When he talked fight
before he wanted a rs and 25 per cent
division, but I'll accommodate him. The
whole purse to the winner suits me. T
never felt better nor lSeener for q. fight
and whenever Jeffries is ready I am.

Tornado Brought Death to Town
of Salix, Iowa.
MANY OTHERS INJURED
Family Came Out of Their Cellar
Just in Time to Get Caught.
Buildings Were Crushed
Like Egg Shells

Minneapolis, MINI, June 11.-A spe-
cial to the Tribune from Sioux CITY,
Iowa, says: A tornado at $50 O'Clock
this afternoon struck two miles south
west of the little town of Salix. 16
miles from here, and killed three peo-
pie outright and one more will die. The

Dick Malloy told his parents to go to
the cellar. He ran to the home of Mrs
Hassell, widow across the road, to
warn her and her seven children He
took them to the cellar and the house
was whirled awsy, injuring no one
He had to hold lie boy by the legs,
as he was being G avn up by the sue

instant the house was demolished The
dead and injured members of the fam
lily We're scattered among the ruins.
The conductor of a freight train saw
the cloud and stopped his train before
it got in the storm. and when he
reached the town he held his train long
enough to bring the injured to the hos
pital in Sioux City.

not be verified.
At Homes, Neb a revival tent was
blown over and an unknown woman
was fatally injured.

A GREAT SUCCESS.
Our Troops Fought Bravely Under the
Terrific Heat.


Terrific Heat.
Washington, June 1.-THE war de-
rartment to-day received a report from
Major General Otis of the military
movement yesterday to the south of
Manila for the purpose of clearing out
the rebels in that section 1t shows that
the movement was great success and
the enemy's loss was considerably
greater than stated in the press dis
patches. General Otis cablegram is as
follows:
Manila, June II, 1s99.-Terrific heat
yesterday did not permit the troops to
reach positions at hours designated;
enabled majority of insurgents to es
cape in scattered organizations south
and westward which they effected dur
ing the evening and night. Movement
great success, however; enemy disor
ganized and routed suffering heavy
loss; troops resting to-day at Las Pinas
and Paranaque. Navy did excellent
execution along shore of bay; but many
insurgent detachments retired in that
direction, protected by presence of wo-
men and children whom they drove
along with them. Our loss four killed
and some 80 wounded. Report Of cas-
ualties later. Conservative estimate of
cnemy's loss about 400. OTIS"

MINERAL OILS.
America Produces Two and Half Billion
Gallons of Petroleum.


Washington. June 11.-Over five bill
ion gallons of petroleum, according to
the treasury bureau of statistics, are
now produced annually in the world.
OF this amount. two and one-half bill
ions are produced in the United States,
two and one-fourth billions in Russia,
and the remainder is distributed
among a dozen countries, Austria pro-
ducing $1,000, 600; Sumatra 100000;
Java 80, 600, 900; Canada, 29,0000 600; Rou-
mania, 24,O00,0O0; India, 15,000,0 ,000 ia
pan, 5000, 600; Germany, 100000: Peru,
1900, 900, and Italy about 100000 gal
Ions.
While the United States and Russia
furnish the bulk of the worlds petro-
leum and stand almost abreast in the
quantity Of crude oil produced, the
amount of refined Illuminating oil sup
piled by the United States is more than
double that produced by Russia. This
is due to the fact that a given guam
tlty of United States oil produces
three-fourths of its bulk in refined illu-
minating oil, while the same quantity
of Russian oil produces only about
hree-eighths of its bulk in refined illu
minating oil. Sumatra, next to Russia,
is the most formidable competitor of
the United States because of the rapid
growth in it's production of oil, the fact
that its crude oils produces half the
quantity in refined illuminating oil and
the further fact that they are much
nearer to the Orient. the countries of
which form an important part of the
worlds markets for this class of eXpor-
tations. Up to the present time, how
ever, the quantity of oil produced in
Sumatra is small compared with that
of the United States or Russia.
The United Kingdom is the largest
consumer of mineral oils exported by
the United States, our total exports to
that country in the last fiscal year be-
ing 1896, ,653 gallons against 1856, ,203 222
to Germany, So 339S115 to Japan, 43. .423,-
