Havana. March 19.-From thirty to
fifty people were wounded In a con
fiict between the police and people of

Cuban army, was probably fatally
wounded.
Ever since the police Interference

in honor of General Maxine Gomez.
the police have been unpopular with
the populace who jeer them and de
clare them inefficient. Newspapers de-

officers, coionels and captains among
them, attended the AFFAIR. A police

crowd In front OF the building was
beaten and disarmed
Twenty reserves were ordered to the
scene. The crowd opened with re-
volvers and the latter returned the fire,
shooting until their ammunition was
exhausted.
Many who were In the building
mounted fne fOOE anu Hreu upon tne

this fact. together with the resolution
with which they fought. seems to con-
firm the belief that the attacking party
was mostly made up of Cuban officers.

numerous arrests followed.
Numerous permits have been issued

feared that there may be further

that another conflict between the

LIVER FLUkE KILLS CATTLE.
A Disease Common Among English Stock
Prevalent In Coiora 10.

Colorado cattle are dying from the
ravages OF the liver fiuke, commonly
designated as the "fiuke worm"
State Veterinary Surgeon Charles
Gresswell yesterday received word
from the North Park Cattle Company
that forty head OF their cattle had
died from this cause. He Immediately
sent n prescription by which II l.
hoped that the rest of the cattle can
be saved.
"'rhe disease affects young cattle
and sheep almost always fatally" said
DIR. Gresswell. but is little known in
this country. when l was in Eng
land, however. l noticed the disease
was very prevalent. Fully 30 per cent.
of the deaths there were from that
cause.
1T Is noticeable mostly In countries
where there Is constant moisture.
hence Colorado has been visited by
the worm but little. The d'sense,
here. however. seems to be on the in
crease. In the parts Of the state where
there is alkali water the 'tiuke' is
practically unknown. The water seems
to disagree with the animal. The
'huke' Is n shell covered parasite which
the cattle drink with the water. Once
on the inside OF a yearling. death is
almost certain.
II intend to do all in my power nj
once to stop the spread of this d seas,
which l do not anticipate will become
general. although the North Park
Cattle Company's loss seems to be
large.
Just at this time of the year. when
the weather is changing. cattle Of all
kinds are very much like human
beings from physical point OF view.
They sicken very easily and die very
quickly IL their systems nre run down.
And they are quite likely to be vulner
able to attacks by disease because of
the fact that In the winter their ra-
tions are not over abundant OF select

italia Have . Right tn Stay mt Lake city
II They ChoOAr.


Denver, March 20.-Dispatches from
Lake City yesterday indicate that tha
troubles there are settled. temporarily
at least. The county officers have been
warned tha, It would be Illegal for
them to attempt to drive the Italians
out OF the county. DIR. CunCo was
backed in this by the militia officers.
This settlement does not meet with
the approval of the citizens Of Lake
City. They believe the Italians should
be driven out of the county. and many
are open In denunciation of the action
OF settlement. They believe there is
danger of a massacre following the de-
par1urc of the troops, and to-day
long petition was handed Colonel
Macarey. asking that fifty men be re-
tanned there. but this was refused. II
was urged on the officers that the ltal-
ians Were angered. and MS the citizens
had no arms they could not protect
themselves. When the request was re-
fused District Attorney McAIullin and
Assistant II. l.. Cohen urged that arms
be left there. but this. too. was re-
fused, the officers being convinced
there was no danger of trouble. The
citizens claim this is the most critical
period. as the Italians are armed and
the citizens are not, because of the ar
mory robbery and the purchase OF
arms and ammunition by the Italians.
The Italians promise DR.. Cuneo that
there will be no trouble.
There Is absolutely no probab bility OF
the Italians securing work in either
the Ute Ulay or Hidden Treasure, un-
less by process of law and courts the
mine owners are forced to re-cmploy
the men. This procedure will follow
soon after the disposal by the pustica

idating the Ute and Ulay miners will

As in dreamland go down

Little heads that bow and scrape.
Velvet lips that drink the dew.
Little eyes so sweet and pure
You would love them. l am sure,

Curbed with ever-growing vine;

With fragrance faint and fine.

Kiss the little blooms and trees

Come. then, wee child. take my hand
While the snowtiakes fly above,

And we'il tell the waking flowers
All the secrets that are ours
Hasten then and we'll go down

"Oh. yes; there is always some ex-

We'll, to continue my story-the
king OF the guinea pigs and the king

possession OF the coveted tail than he
glided into the brush and disappeared.
