JOSEPHINE TOTrLIyG DEAD.
The Authors Eldest Child Passes
Away-kipling Doing Well.

AWay-k ipiiDg Doing Well.
NEW YORK. March 6~.-Josephine. the
G-year-old daughter of Rudyard Kipling,
the oldest Of his three children. died at 6
o'clock this morning, from pneumonia.
The child's death took place at the house
Of Miss Julia De Forest. in this city. Miss
De Forest is a friend of the K%iplings',
and Josephine had been taken TO her
house so she could be nursed apart from
her father. The girl became 81 the day
after Mr.. Kipling was taken Ill. She had
all the attention and skill employed to
save the life Of her father. Or. Conland.
the Kiplings' family physician, came
down from BrattlebOro'. VT, and with
Dr. Janeway and DR.. Durham, succeeded
in warding off the evil effects Of the dis
ease until to-day.
Elsie. who is sick in an out-of-the-way
apartment Of the hotel. is doing well.
KIPLING NOT INFORMED.
The body Of Josephine will be taken TO
the Kipling home in Vermont for burial,
but no definite arrangements have yet
been made. IT was decided not TO inform
the author of his daughters death for
several days.
1t was said at the Hotel Grenoble this
morning that Mrs. Kipling had not been
allowed in her husbands room for nearly
a week. Notwithstanding the general UNI
Outstanding that she has been at his bed
side daily.
The following bulletin was issued at 2:30:
MIR. Kipling has done well during the
| twenty-four hours. Notwithstanding that
respiration is almost complete, he has

LITTLE ELSIE RECOVERING.
Mr.. Doubleday, at Z o'clock tonight,
said:
Nh. Kipling has had a splendid day
| that is, a comfortable day. He is begin
| ming gradually to take nourishment of a
more substantial kind. OF course, he has
| the appearance Of a man who has been
at the point Of death, and his mind works
very slowly. He has not been told of his
daughter Josephine's death. Elsie has
been somewhat better to-day. n l think
she Is well toward recovery"
Then. referring to a slip In his hand,
he said:
after talking the matter over with me,
Mrs. Kipling decided to make this request
to the newspapers: 1T is Mrs. Kipling's
earnest wish that all matters connected
with the funeral of her daughter, Jose
phine may be entirely private. She ac-
knowledges the fact that Information
concerning Mr.. Kipling Is Of public inte-
rest. but this sorrow is her own. She
feels sure that newspaper reporters and
| editors will not wish 10 encroach upon
her privacy"

CUpANs DEMAND RATIONs GALORE.
The Assembly Stil Mysterious-Ru-
mored Rioting at Puerto Principe.

HABANA, March 6-For the month OF
March the various provinces, excepting
the province of Santiago, have made re-
QUESTION for 100000 rations. Thus, in
stead of diminishing. the requisition has
doubled since that Of January lst. This
is due partly to the fact that the Cubans
use every possible opportunity of getting
rations under false pretences. and partly
TO the fact that the American distribu-
tors are unable to discriminate properly
between imposters and the really neces-
sitous. Americans are almost in a posi-
ton to have TO give to everybody who
asks for food.
THE ASSEMBLY.
At the meeting OF the Cuban Assembly
this evening a guard was placed around
the house and everybody excluded. The
presumption is that the mysterious pro-
position OF Senior Farrez is still under dis
cussion. With the disarming OF the army,
the A~ssembly's functions Will disappear.
Ii is rumored to-day that the members
are considering an early dissolution, but
are trying to gain further notoriety be-
fore the Assembly ceases 10 exist

The FnIpinos Were Driven from the
Trenches and Our Soldiers Landed
and Saved COnsuIates from Flames.
The United States forces under Gen. M.
d. Miller captured Iloilo, the capital of
the island of Panay, Saturday. An ulti-
lnatum was sent Friday to the commander
Of the rebels on shore, notifying him that
it was his intention to take lloilo by force
if necessary. Non-combatants and for
eigners were warned to leave the town
within "a hours. The rebels were also
warned that they must make no further
belligerent preparations. During the day
many refugees left the town, the majority
of whom we're taken on board foreign
ships. The rebels remained quiet through
out the night.
Saturday morning the gunboat Petrol
signalled to the cruiser Boston that the
rebels were working in their trenches. In
return the Petrol was ordered to fire warn
ing shots upon the town from her three
Founders. This was done, and the rebels
re lied with a harmless fusillade. The
Boston and the Petrol then bombarded the
rebel trenches, completely clearing them
of occupants in very short space of time.
Soon after the bombardment began
flames broke out simultaneously in various
parts of the town. Thereupon 4S ma
rines, acting as infantry and artillery, were
landed from the cruiser Boston and COM
pany we're sent ashore from the gunboat
Petrol. These detachments marched
straight into the town of Iloilo, and, hoist
ing the Stars and Stripes over the fort took
possession of the place in the name of the
United States. There were no casualties
on the American side. The native loss is
not stated.
The capture of the town and its defences
having been accomplished, the marines and
soldiers who had been sent ashore proceed.

English and German consulates from des-

among the frail and intllmmable structures
of the town. The Swiss consuI's residence,

was burned. The entire Chinese and ma
tive sections of the town were destroyed
but foreign mercantile property escaped
with slight damage. There was some de
sultory firing by the enemy in the outskirt:
of lloilo, but not a single American was

RETIREMENT OF MAJok BROWN
who Was Surgeon OF the I'D Massachu-
sets ~ yeRrs---A Native OF Whiting

man,
DR.. o. j. Brown of North Adams Mass,
has resigned as surgeon of the I'd Massachu-
sets regiment after % years of continu-
Gus service as an officer in the Massachu-
sets volunteer militia. He was assistant
surgeon of the ID battalion Is years, and
regimental surgeon four years.
During his long service he never missed
a field day, and was absent from only one
annual encampment, that absence being oc-
casioned by sickness. When the regiment
was called to the front during the war
with Spain he wanted and intended to go
with it, and had partially completed his
preparations when he was warned by high
medical authority that the condition of his
health would not permit, and he reluctant
ly remained behind when the boys" with
whom he had been so long and pleasantly
identified marched away in response to the
call to duty. Their fortunes while in active
service were followed by him with the deep
est solicitude, and when they returned to
Montauk Point he was promptly on hand
to meet them and do all in his power for
their alienation.
Dr. Brown is native of Whiting ham,
VT He prepared for his life work at the
University of Vermont, and in Bellevue
hospital medical college and the University
of New York. After practicing in Adams
one year he located in North Adams ~
years ago, and has since been resident of
that city. He has attended strictly to his
profession, and has never sought political
honors, but in the fall of 1888 he was elect
ed to the legislature and served one term.
He has served two terms of seven years
each as medical examiner for the North
Berkshire district, and was reappointed
for a third term about two years ago. He
is a member and ex president of the North
Berkshire medical association and the Berk
shire district medical society, and is also a
member of the Massachusetts, medico legal
society and of the association of military
surgeons of the United States. DR.. Brown
was surgeon of the Massachusetts delega-
ton to the trans Mississippi exposition at
Omaha last summer, and on Thursday, ac-
companied by his wife, he joined Ray
mond & Whitcomb excursion for a five
weeks tour to Mexico, the doctor going as

POMONA GRANGE MEETING
with Evening Star Grange at Dumm.rs-
ton ThursdRy.

Windham County Pomona grange net
with Evening Star grange, Dummerston,
Thursday. The very bad travelling pre-
vented large attendance, but the visitors
received cordial greeting from Mrs.
Brown. Capt. ii. G. Streeter responded
in his usual excellent manner. Mrs. G. ID.
Sargent gave a musical selection; and Mrs
+. X. Lynde a reading. Some practical
suggestions concerning farm management
were given by Miss Bennett. Discussion
followed of the following question: "What
effect, if any, would the free delivery of
mail have upon the value of real estate in
the rural districts?'
L. X. Lynde thought that anyone buy
ing property at the present time would
buy where there was daily mail. He
was glad to have his mail brought within
half mile of his house. Mrs. Almira l..
G. Robbins of Brattleboro said that the
mail mans visit means thought, the read
ing makes one think. Marcus Robbins
considered daily mail luxury. Mr.. Brown
thought anyone that had once had daily
mail would not like to go where there was
no mail delivery. Oscar T. Ware said
there was but one side TO the question, it
is necessity, and the government can de-
liver the mail to each farmer cheaper than
he can get it. The press is an educator, and
we must get papers to the people. Mrs.
James Reed said it was a good thing for
the farmer to be obliged to get out and get
his paper. Mr.. Laughton, Mr.. Gates and
Mr., Reed are anxious TO get free mail.
The exercises closed with singing.
