SERIOUS
Outbreak Of Fever.
One Death Occurs al
DoyIestown
And Several More Are
Expected.
Drinking Water Has Been
Contaminated.
Board OF Health Will Take Action
Soon.
An outbreak of typhoid fever is
causing the residents of Doylestowr
much. apprehension.
Keeler Raft, aged 20, died Sunday
after two weeks sickness with the
fever. He leaves q wife and five
children.
Fred Baysinger, another fever pa
tient, is not expected to outlive the
day, and the condition of Charles
Heffelman and James Marnin is
considered serious.
An emergency meeting of the
Board of Health will be held to take
measures to repress the spread of the
malady. The recurrence of typhoid
fever at this time, from which the
village has been remarkably free for
many years, is attributed to the con-
tamination of well water by surface
drainage. A better method of dis
posing of garbage and sewage is con-
sidered necessary.

Burt Freeborn Severed an Artery
Jumping Through a Window.

A gas explosion at the grocery

flames.
Burt Freeborn jumped through a
window and severed an artery in his
right hand. Loss is placed at $1,000,
insurance 5000. The building was
owned by John Auble. James An
derson and family lived upstairs.
His loss is about 5000 with no insur-
ance. The residence of Mrs. Callie

Paris Treaty Provides for Paw

Own Citizens. x
Persistent Rumors of Trouble in
Porto Rico---Ou Rule Not e
Relished. r15

WASHINGTON, March 18.-The depart
ment Of state has received claims to the
amount Of $21, 200, 600 on account Of
crops destroyed in Cuba belonging to
American citizens, and also on account
Of injuries sustained by citizens for
which pecuniary benefit is sought. The
Paris treaty expressly provided that the
United States and Spain should both
assume liability for all such claims pre-
ferred by their respective citizens.
Therefore the United States government
is probably chargeable for all. the dam
ages sustained by Americans throughout
Cuba by either the insurgent or Spanish
troops, and in the case of some planta-
tions owned by American citizens these
losses were very heavy.
Congress made no provision for the
settlement Of these claims, so that the
state department is at present unable to
do more than merely to file them. 1t is
the purpose of the department, when
congress meets again, to call attention
to the treaty of obligations assumed by
the United States towards these claim
ants and suggest some means of settle
ment be provided, either through a
commission or by reference to the court
of claims.

RUSSIA WANTS TT.

Has Force of Troops Ready to Occupy
Disputed Territory in Central Asia
LONDON, March ia dispatch from
Allahabad, capital of the Northwest
provinces of India, says it is reported
there from Yarkund, Chinese Tur-
kestan, that large force of Russian
troops has arrived at the Russian post,
Fort Murghbi, on the Murghbi river in
the Sari Pamir, with the intention Of
Selling Sir-i-kel, the 100 miles stretch of
territory north of the Mustigh noun
tains, which was left underlined by the
Pamir boundary commission in 1895.
It's seizure by Russia would cause COM
plications with Great Britain.
The Pamirs, great and little, are an
extensive tablelapd of Central Asia,
called by the natives the "roof of the
world" They are bound on the south
by the Hindoo- Hoosh mountains, and
the plateau forms the central node,
whence radiate the principal mountain
ranges of Asia. The tract is mainly un-
der Russian authority, but Sir-i-kel, in
which is Lake Sir-i-kel, the headwaters
of the Oxus river, has remained dis
puted since 1855.

BITTER AGAINST GOMEZ.

Had Few Supporters in the Assembly on
the Motion to Impeach.
HAVANA, March 14-The Cuban mill
tary assembly, in public session, inn.
peached General Maxine Gomez and
removed him from his command as
general-in-chief of the Cuban army.
The first ballot taken resulted in 20
votes in support of the motion to inn
peach and remove General Gomez
against A in opposition. The meeting
lasted from O'Clock until Z. General
Gomez only supporters were General
Cespedes and General Nunez.
The original motion, which was in.
troduced by Senior Manuel Sanguily,
provided for the abolition of the grade
of general-in-chief, but an amendment
was offered to this by Senior Aguero
which read:
Direct Slap at Gomez.

chief and to remove General Gomez fol
failure in his military duties and dis
obedience to the assembly,"

speeches, in some of which Gomez was
branded as a traitor and was declared
to have beendelinquentin his duties ant

Washington is concerned, will not
amount to more than the resolutions OF
any other body of individuals. The AS.
