CUBAN CENSUS.
Uncle Sam Will Count the Inhab-
itants of the Island.

Washington, March 13.-The
Administration has decided to take
a census of the island of Cuba as
complete and careful as that taken
in the United States, A census is
found necessary to determine who
are citizens and qualified electors
before an election is held to estab-
fish a representative government
This census will not be taken
through or by any organization
claiming to be representatives of
the Cuban people, but by the au-
thority of the United States Gov
eminent. assisted by such civil Of
ticers as may be necessary'to carry
on the work.
1t may be stated in this connec-
ton that the Government of the
United States does net and has not
recognized any assembly, organi-
cation, person or faction in Cuba as
authorized to speak for the Cuban
people. 1t has and will continue to
deal with individuals and munich
palities as it finds them. No gov
eminent has been recognized and
none will be until one has been con-
stituted which is representative of
the citizenship of the whole of the
island.
The action of the Cuban Assem-
bly, has given the Government at
Washington no concern whatever.
1t is known that the S5,000,0OO now
on it's way to Cuba will be accepta-
BILE to the soldiers of the Cuban
army. 1t matters not whether Go
mez has been deposed or not, or
whether he accepts his deposition.
The Government will deal with the
individuals of the Cuban army and
the money will be paid to the sol
diers by United States officers.

Telephone System of Sweden.

The Board of Managers of the
Swedish State telegraph system
has asked for an allowance of $3.50,
600, to be expended during three
years, for the extension of the tele-
phone system in the kingdom. The
Government makes about six per
cent. net profit on the money thus
far advanced for such purposes.
Still, the State telegraph and tele-
phone lines are managed just as
much for the convenience of the peo-
pie as for profit. The number of
interurban telephone conversations
during last year exceeded ZOO, 900,
and the frequency of the telephone
calls necessitates the building of
new ines.-Chicago Record.

SYMPHONY CLUB.
Some Testimonials From Press
and People.

When received the printing Of
the Schubert Symphony Club and
Lady Quartette, for our benefit,
| was most agreeably surprised at
its variety and fine quality, which
is in thorough keeping with the en-
tertainment given last night. Es-
pecially pleasing was themost Won
derful voice of LOWE Iendt Purcell,
who, in almost baritone notes, re-
tanned the liquid sounds of con-
tralto. The fnequartette and the
splendid recitations did much to
add to our pleasure and amusement.
Master Tomme is indeed a wonder,
and the expression and feeling he
brings from his violin places him in
the front rank of child artists.

A few years ago the coming of a
good musical company to our city
was great event and Away filled
the house with a fine audience. OF
late musical entertainments have
not been so freely patronized here.
Why? Simply because the usual
programs were too elastic and cold
for the average auditor. In the
program to be given by the Schu-
bert Symphony Club and Lady
Ouartette on March y we have a
musical entertainment that is high,
ly enjoyable from first to last. Our
readers will do we'll to remember
that it is not often that we are of,
fered such a feast of musical good
things as the Schubert's program
contains.

Live Stock.

Live Stock.
The trying effects of the unusu
atty severe winter on live stock has
to some extent been mitigated by
the abundance offeed. Still, among
young stock and stock unproyideo
with shelter, the loss has been
heavy and the suffering intense
The heaviest loss has been with
lambs and young pigs. Some cor
respondents estimate the loss OF
lambs at 33B per cent. of the crop.
Recent experience should impress
upon farmers the economy of pro-
viding amply for stock during the
months of bad weather.
The condition of the various
classes of live stock averages as
follows: Horses, "a; cattle, 90;
sheep, SO, and hogs, 90. The con-
ditions March LIST, 1898, were 90,
IS, So and 81 respectively.

sence of this common disease. 133

Effects of February Cold Wave.
The period from February 9th to
14th will be long remembered as a
season of phenomenal low tempera-
ture. Remarkably not only for the
low temperature recorded, but also
for pertinacity with which this tenn
perature was maintained. Cover
ing a period of some ten days the
mercury rose above the zero mark.
Minima of 10 to "a and even as low
as 80 degrees below zero were re-
ported during this time. In add
ton to the loss and suffering OF live
stock already noted the injury to
the fruit crop IS tar reaching.
Peaches will not only be a failure
this year, but the damage to trees
is such that the crops for several
years to come will be affected. The
same is true of cherries and plums,
with the possible exception of sour
cherries. Pears, though injured in
some extent, still promise a fair
yield. Apples have escaped injury
save the injury to trees from heavy
sleet in some sections.
OF the small fruits raspberries
have suffered most and will prob
ably be failure. 1t is feared, too,
that the injury extends to wild
blackberries. Strawberries have
escaped injury so far.

be necessary to afford protection to the
American interests in that quarter.
These interests are considerable, both
in the number of Americans resident in
the Transvaal engaged in mining oper-

capital employed in mining industry.

BRITAIN IS READY.

Mr. Chamberlain Discusses Transvaal Al.
fairs in Unmistak cable Terms.
BIRMINGHAM, Eng, June 28.-Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the
colonies, addressing the Unionists of
this city during the evening, reviewed
carefully the Transvaal question. In
the course Of his speech he said that
owing to the enormous military prep
arations of the government of the South
African Republic. Great Britain had
been compelled to increase the British
garrisons in Cape Colony and Natal,
entailing an additional expenditure Of
G500. 900 annually.
"If the reforms which Lord Ripon
proposed in 1894 had been accepted"
said the minister. "there would have
been no raid and no crisis at the present
time. But the raid tied the hands Of
the government and prevented the ap-
plication of pressure.
Mr.. Chamberlain said the govern
ment had tried to establish friendly re-
lations with President Kruger, but all
advances had been
Received With Contempt.
After denouncing in the strongest
terms the attitude and actions Of the
Beers, Mr.. Chamberlain, with great de-
liberation and emphasis, added:
1.-THE Transvaals enormous secret
service fund has procured it friends and
advocates in every country. The way
the British subject is treated is not only
a menace to them all, but interferes
with cur prestige among the natives,
who now regard the Beers and not the
British as the paramount power. Be-
fore violating the London convention
she TransHaal is flagrantly violating
that equality the convention was de-
signed to accomplish. Its misgovern.
ment Is a fostering sore, poisoning the
whole atmosphere of South Africa.
The Dutch in Cape Colony and Natal
would be in the happiest condition, but
SO long as the disease of
Hatred and SUSPICION
prevails in the Transvaal it is i1fsnnsi-
BILE to stop the contagim.
-Four times since Independence was
granted we have been ON the verge of
war with the Transvaal It is erroneous
to say the British governments wants
war, butit is equally erroneous to say
that THE government win draw back
now that it has put Its ffauds,tothe
plows
I'VE hope the efforts that are npsv
being made will lead to an amicable
arrangement for Great Britain only
desires Justice, but there comes time
when patience can hardly be distin-
guished from weakness. and when
moral pressure becomes farce, that
cannot be continued without loss Of
self-respect. trust that time may
never come in this instance, but if it
does Britons will insist upon the means
to find result essential to the peace of
South Africa"

dent, upon his return to Washington,

In General Otis cabled statement. He
was in conference for time with Sec
fetary Alger respecting the best method
Of carrying out General Otis desire to
maintain, at least throughout the rainy
season, an effective fighting force of no
less than sc. 900 men in the island. In
che generals last estimate it is noted
that he asks for an effective" force of
30, 900 men. This last estimate will
oblige the war department to secure
more troops General Otis sick report
and his casualty list make it evident that
provision must be made at once to sup
ply shortage of about 10 per cent in his
force. The officials are taking into con-
sideration the assurance of the medical
authorities that no diminution . to this
disability rate can be expected during
the wet season, but that the conditions
may grow even worse as the season adj
vances. Many of these men will have
TO be invalided home to the United
States. it being demonstrated, particu.
larry in the typhoid cases, that cDnval-
escence is rare unless the patient leaves
the Philippines. Thus the department
will be under the necessity of keeping
up steady flow of recruits from the
United States if General Otis desire is
to be complied with. The recruiting Of
ficers' reports indicate an ability on
their part to supply 1000 men week,
more than sufficient, it is believed, to
meet General Otis needs in the future,
while as for the present, the department
has assembled 5000 recruits at San
Francisco, ready for transport. as soon
