THE SITUATION IN CUBA
The Condition of the Island Is
Improving.
GOMEZ HAS MANY ENEMIES
He Is Not Big Enough Man for Prest-
dent-The Sentiment for An
nexation Is Constantly
Increasing.

New York May I.-Among the pas
sengers who came on the Havana,
which was released from quarantine to-
day, was Gen. H. o. Ernst, who has
been in Cuba since January. He has
been stationed in Havana as inspector
on General Brooke's staff.
THE situation in Cuba to-day" said
he, lis brighter and the condition of the
island is improving. One hears very
little about annexation down there,
though there is sentiment tending
that way among the people Those who
have money and business. interests are
generally in favor of annexation. Many,
however, are willing the island should
come in as a state after independence
has been declared"
General Ernst said that in his opinion
there was no man in Cuba qualified to
be elected president He said he did not
think General Gomez would ever fill the
position.
Gomez is a good man, but he has
many enemies. Then, again, I don't
believe he is qualified to hold that office
Should the sentiment for annexation
continue, 1 think Gomez would cause
trouble. He keeps quiet as long as they
dangle Cuba Libre' before him.

CAUSED A PANIC.
Twenty-Five Women Tainted When &
Child Fell Into the Water.

ST. Louis, Mo-, May IA vast con-
course of people filled the lsvee from l
o'clock this morning until S o'clock in
the afternoon awaiting an opportunity
to be ferried out to the gunboat Nash
vile, anchored in midstream. The priv
ilege of transportation has been granted
to but one ferry company, that the
Nashville may not be overcrowded.
This company's wharf boat was jam
med. At noon the jam was increased.
Suddenly small child was pushed off
the wharf into the river. Instantly a
policeman followed. and as the water
was shallow the child was soon rescued.
The excitement, however, caused a
panic, and two men were showed over
the wharf and waded out. At least %
women tainted. The police succeeded
in carrying all out of the jam. Nobody
was injured. Several children fell into
the water, but were rescued before they
got beyond their depth.

Stove Manufacturers Give Excuses for
the Increase.
Cincinnati May 11.--At the eighth
annual convention of Stove Manufac-
turers. the committee appointed to con-
fer with John w. Baker of Philadel-
phia and his associates regarding the
organization of a trust. was in session
during the day and will continue their
work until they are ready to report to
the members by a circular letter. The
following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, Market value of all mate
rails used in the construction of all
stoves and ranges as well as the pay
ment of increased wages within the
past six months have been altogether
exceptional and remarkable, and
Whereas, The advances in material
average nearly rs per cent in COMPARE
son with prices prevailing one year ago,
and
Whereas, The prices of material at
this time continue to advance and these
materials are so scarce that they can
not be obtained without the greatest
difficulty, therefore be it
Resolved, That the advance on the
finished products established the indis-
pensable and proper cooperation of all
the stove manufacturers throughout
the country are amply justified

Man without a Liver.

Missoula, May 11.--One of the most
successful operations that ever came
under our notice is one that was per-
formed on John D. Carney, formerly of
the 25th infantry band. At the time
that the operation was performed it
was published in all of the Southern
medical journals. Mr.. Gainey is a man
living practically without a liver, all
Of it but a small portion being taken
out and the part that is left is sewed
to his side to keep 1t in place. At the
time the operation was performed the
doctors gave it as their opinion that
Mr.. Gainey could not survive, but they
We're wrong in their surmises, and the
only effect it seems to have had on Mr..
Gainey was to make him larger, as he
is now very much larger than when he
left here over year ago.

NOT oNE-slDED.
Liberal Concessions Were offered by the
United States.

Liberal Concessions Were offered by the
United States.
Washington, May 1.-THE statements
of the press of London and Canada re-
specting the reasons for the recent fail
ure of the negotiations with Canada
have occasioned much surprise in the
official world of Washington. These
statements assume that the Canadians
made all the offers of concessions, the
United States commissioners standing
by existing conditions The facts. as
understood here, are directly contrary
to that view. There are certain facts
tending to contradict the statements Of
the British press which the associated
press is now able to make known for
the first time. Take the question OF
trade with Canada, for example 1t
is positively known that the Americans
offered absolute free trade in mineral
products, an enlargement of the free
list Of foreign products and important
concessions of. duty on lumber and on
most agricultural products 1t is also
known that they offered liberal terms
for the adjustment of the Boring sea
sealing question and offered an AMIGA
BILE settlement for the boundary ques-
ton, yielded to Canadas views in re-
spect to alien labor and to the lake
fisheries and offered reciprocal privil-
eyes.

Like Conner Stock.

Missoula, May 11.--Since last Friday
the streams have all taken an upward
tendency and are now rising with all
of the rapidity of copper stocks. The
Bitter Root Is showing its first activity
of the season and the Big Blackfoot is
also giving some signs Of life. The
water in these streams is higher than it
has been before this season. The lower
Missoula river, between Missoula and
St. Regis, is on the rise in keeping
with the numerous streams that empty
into it. The St. Regis is running bank
full now, but has not yet done any
damage. On the other side of the range,
in Idaho, the Occur d'Alene river is en-
deavoring to rise as high as did the
Bunker Hill &, Sullivan mill week ago.
1t is not going up as fast, but it bids
fair to reach the high mark.

Harrison Will BE President of One of
the Committees.
:. New York, May LEX President
Harrison has accepted the place of
honor ito be president of the committee
OF the economical conference on foreign
missions to be held in this city year
hence. The programme for that con-
ference, which will include representa-
tives of all foreign mission interests of
the world, has been outlined and the
committees completed. The idea is to
show, first, what has been accomplished
during the century, now practically
ended, since missions have been inau-
gurated since the present century be-
gan; and, second, the outlook for the
century just opening, with suggestions
how to accomplish more on given
expenditure! Certain divisions of mis-
sion work have been finally accomplish
ed and will not be undertaken again.
There is to be new missionary activity,
an activity of a new kind, with new
methods and results anticipated in new
directions.

Chicago, May 11.-Before the senate
committee to-day four prominent wit
nesses testified as to the effect On the

septics in embalming fluids and preserv-

that acetyline is being extensively
used instead. In the now famous Adams
case the experts examinations of the
bromo showed the presence, in addition
TO the acute poison, of acetyline, 50
believe its use widespread
The commissioners made this state
ment at the. close of the day:
1.-THE things which seem to stick out
above the details Of the investigation
are the facts that antiseptics are used
indiscriminately to defraud and de-
ceiye and that they are in most cases
dangerous
Second, that in the absence of ex-
plicit labels, dishonest manufacturers
are enabled to put spurious goods on
the market These things will be look
ed after in the proposed legislation.
The testimony of witnesses already
heard has attracted wide attention in
all parts of the country. Letters are
beginning to pour in from New York.

scented.

Missoula, May 1.-THE millennium is

Missoula have been partially relieved
of one of their troubles by the appoint

are assured by the council that their

who have been compelled to each year
purchase large quantities OF chloride
