A CONFLICT
IN HAVANA
Between Provost Guards and
the Police.
AUTHORITIES DISGUSTED
The Attitude of the Cubans is Agra
waiting In the Extreme--Pay
For Supplies Issued.
D1SGUSTED

Havana, April 3.-Last night there was
a conflict between the provost guard and
the police The police arrested a man fir-
ing a revolver INTO the guard.
Three members of the provost guard re-
leased the prisoner and captured the po-
licoman. Other officers began to draw
their rev divers and were knocked down
by urarmed p~rivates who were Off duty.
Thereupon The policemen became greatly
excited and held consultations in groups,
while the crowd rapidly dispersed, fearing
shooting was about to take place. Inc
men Of the provost guard took the zap
tured policeman to their corporal, who
released him. Several soldiers were ar
rested for participating in the disorder.
A local newspaper had published a letter
accusing Cuban troops of the murder OF
several Spaniards, which has caused a
storm Of indignation and protest from the
Cuban army and Cuban officers from the
district where the murders are said to
have occurred, declaring that the report
is a lie and that the men referred to as
having been murdered were alive.
The letter is said to be of Spanish orig
in and the feeling aroused is more bitter
han it would otherwise have been.
Havana April 3.-Among the military
men the talk is of the departure of the
remaining volunteers, which will probably
be delayed for a couple of weeks, until
the Cuban army question is nearer a set
Element. AS Gen. Gomez IS unable to sup
ply %accurate lists of the Cuban army and
as the Cuban assembly, still retains the
official lists, the American military auth
critics ~outwardly appear to be simply
waiting. but as a matter of fact they are
impatient and disguised. The whole atti-
tude of the Cubans in this matter is eX-
cessively irritating. Meanwhile the report
that the 5 5000, 600 may be returned to the
United States is being widely circulated,
and has increased the feeling against the
assembly, whose members are apparently
Indifferent. The next meeting of the as

When Secretary was here he
discussed with Gen. Brooke the ques-
ton Of charging upon the custom receipts
the cargo rations expected on the Comai.
The matter was left open Today the
commander issued LOCO 600 rations and as
no decision has yet been reached by the
governor general as to whether the sup

a system by which, in less than 10 sec

discovered and located. There is no
map for sale on either side of the At

provide oneself with a copy before TAX

Progressive New Zealand.

The efforts made by the government
OF New Zealand to buy back large free
hold states and subdivide them among
smaller holders on perpetual lease, are
still being continued with success In
the early days Of the colony, large areas
OF land were sold for cash at an almost
nominal price. and this system resulted
in the best lands and the most advant-
ageously situated localities becomins
private properties of few lucky men
Estates reaching from mountain range
to sea. from river to river, properties
with miles of water frontage, or with
distinct commercial futures. were
bought for mere song, and then the
owners either reached parliament or
their friends did, with the result that
millions of money was borrowed in
England and used in making railroads
through properties whose values
doubled, trebled or rose Indefinitely by
this process. Pressed by the multitude
of landless colonists and unwilling to
confiscate property that had been paid
for honestly, if for small price, the
government now buys back estates, es-
pecially if the owner wishes to sell, at
the market price and then leases them
out to the small settlers The rent
more than pays the interest on the capt.
tai borrowed to acquire the land, and
the colony benefits by finding hundreds
of families occupying land where few
years ago the form of solitary shep-
herd or boundary rider alone broke
the solitude
The process of acquiring land in this
manner by equitable purchase is greatly
helped by provision of our land tax
legislation If a man values his estate
at less figure than does the govern
ment value, and objects to pay land tax
on the higher valuation, the govern
ment has the right to take the place
from the owner at his own valuation
plus 10 per cent added. This process
not only allows the government to ac-
quire valuable lands at something near
their value, but also teaches the payers
of land tax not to evade their response
bilities by insisting on the nndervalua-
tion of their land.-Chicago Record.

I notice many ugly criticisms in the

seen no defense of either, yet there is
no doubt but that the prayer and
speeches of that night voiced the senti-
ments of the larger portion of the in

of this community. How can a christian
minister, praying from Christs plat
form of Peace on Earth" invoke the
army marshaled for bloody war. butch

don't believe that Mr. Rileys prayer, or
anybody's prayers, will affect the situa-
tion much or alter the predetermination
of the Almighty to make this unholy
war against the Philippines an object

There Is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it q local disease
and prescribed local remedies. and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

as the simple crochet sritcn is used and

hide the ring.
Use SILK OF color that will contrast
prettily with that of the foundation.
After the rings have all been covered
sew 21 of them together so that there
will be six in the upper row and one less
in each of the rows following As the
rings of the succeeding rows alternate,
the resulting figure will be a triangle

Catch the edge to the edge of the found
alton. The remaining rings are to be
caught together in three rows, with six
in the upper row, FIVE in the second and
four in the third. Put this at the back
