ripe, hoping that the late corn will
mature, hoping that the potatoes

catches them, hoping that the o'pos-
sums will be fat and easy caught,

of his neighbcr, charging him tor

He has reference to MIR. S. j. DavS,
Of Sautuc, as being the person who

The Santuc gentleman, MIR. DAVIS

feed out of my barn. did not have
to pull the ,dder through the crack

SAME OLD BATTERY.

Congress, Ariz., April -
Sporting Editor of The Arizona Re
publican:
Dear Sir: In today's issue of The
Republican I notice an article stating
that the Congress base ball club would
have an entirely new battery in Sun
days game with Phoenix. Please cor
rect this error, as Hess and Wescott
will compose the battery, and is the
same battery loaned to Prescott when
Prescott competed with Phoenix last
Christmas.
This IS the first time Congress has
ever met Phoenix and will give the AL
falfa a game that will in no wise be
the f1asco the Prescotts presented
when they met Phoenix on Christmas.
p s. Wescott and Hess have lived
here two years. Any time Phoenix has
money to bet On game, they can get
all kinds Of takers for a game the 4th

MADE GREAT CHANGES
wonderful Improvement in Sanitary
Conditions in Cuban Cities.

washington. April Ia Maior-Gen-
oral Holm R. Brooke has forwarded to
the acknowledgement copies of reports
Of sanitary measures taken in the de-
n,rtmerts of Santa Clara and Ma
tanzas.
Major ]. H. Hysell, chief surgeon OF
the department Of Santa Clara in
ronort at Cienfuegos February &c,
says:
..since the departure of the Spanish
t~oops February 6, there have oSen
employed in cleaning up the different
hospitals and barracks about l,o0o
men. mostly members of the late IN
surgent army. The cities of this prov
ince ware in a dirty and filthy condi-
ton when the troops arrived, and 1t
has required a large amount OF LABOR
and money to place them in a good
sanitary condition.
The report then deals with details OF
the work Of cleaning and disinfecting
the citfss in the department.
IN the cities CT Cienfuegos, Santa
Clara. sanoti Spiritus and Trinidad
there were large barracks formerly
used by the Spanish troops. These
were being cleanszd and disinfected so
that they might be occupied by Amer
lean soldiers.
There had been seven cases Of yell
low fever among the troops at Sancti
Spiritus. with one death. The source
OF the infection was an old church for
merly used by the Spanish troops as a
hospital. Other buildings where there
were cases of smallpox and other dis
eases were destroyed by the American
soldiers.
Lieutenant-Col Timothy E. Wilcox,
chief surgeon Of the department OF
Matanzas, reports under date of March
5. He had visited thirteen different
towns in ths. department and says that
rations and medical supplies have bean
distributed in these places and greatly
relieved the suffering. The condition
of the people has greatly improved.
Those who have sufficiently recovered
from starvation and sickness have
gone to work The re3oncentrados
have gone back to the country whan
able, but many are obliged to return
for rations, food being yet unobtain-
able in sufficient quantities to sustain
them. Assistance will be required fol
nearly two months longer The hor-
rfble pictures which were everywhere
in evidence in January are for the mcst
part wanting, although anaeniia and
debility from malarial diseases a:ls still
present. One report gave $50 deaths
during the year and twenty-four births
during the same period.
It appears that the limit of safety foI
unaccllmated troops in this provinos
is May l. After than date paluda
feveIs as well as yellow fever may bt
expected. This is the consensus OF
opinion of medical men Throughout
the province visited.

Stringent Rules Adopted Regarding
the Landing of Dogs.

Washington, April 13.-The British
government is making a strenuous eI-
fort to stamp out rabies in the British
islands, and the state department has
been furnished by Sir Julian Paunce-
fote. the British ambassador here, With
q memorandum issued by the board Of
agriculture. strictly limiting the In
coming of dogs. Every dog imported
is required 10 have license from the
board of agriculture, and the applic2-
@ions for these Licences must be MADE
in time to permit the board to inquire
into all the circumstances before the
debarkation of the dog takes place
The dogs will be detained for a period
Of six months, under supervision of the
authorities, on some suitable premises
specified by the owners. For the con-
venfence of persons passing through
Great Britain, the board will in special
cases authorize the landing of dogs
which are to be exported in few days.

Stomach troubles are so common and

STENCIL DEFENDS WAR.
Sentiments of 4 German Delegate to
the Coming Peace Conference

Berlin. April 13.-Prof. Stengel, one
of the German delegates to the coming
peace conference at The Hague, has
Just published an article which IS
strikingly at variance with the ideal
that he was nominated TO discuss. His
view is that eternal peace ought in no
wise to be the aim of culture. The as
sertion that war is opposed to civiliza-
tion. art. science and industry is ut
terly wrong. It is not the intellectual
achievements Of a nation that decide
its fate. but its belligerent strength.
war" says Prof Stengel, is an
educational necessity. 1t has its mis-
sion in The promotion of culture. the
agitation Of the friends Of peace is a
pgrnicious sentiment, and its fantastic
efforts are no more valuable than the
Utopian schemes Of Thomas Moore and
Edward BelIamy.'
For this reason Prof. Stengel says
nc. peace conference. even at the sug-
gestion of the car, will be able to give
eternal peace. On the contrary, such
meetings harbor some danger, as they
may terd more clearly to reveal con-
flicting interests.
It is not known whether the article
was written prior or subsequent to
Prof. StengeFs appointment.
