WIRELESS TElEGRAPHY.
Wonderful Tests Made In Chicago of
n New system.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-Professor w. S.
johnson and G. l.. Fortier of milwaukee,
yesterday made II successful test in this
city of the wireless telegraph. They sue
ceeded in telegraphing without wires
through a suit of seven rooms with all
the doors closed and through seven walls.
Another test was made. when the sig
nails were conveyed through three fire
proof vaults and an ordinary telegraph
switchboard in which 30 wires were con-
nected up and about 40 dead wires were
located.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
switchboard contained live wires the cur
rent passed through all of the vaults and
through this board. This is one of the
most severe tests that has ever been
given wireless telcgraphy.
A third test was made in which the
sending instrument was placed inside of
one of the steel vaults, and both doors
were closed and the combination lock
turned. The signals were then trans
mtted clearly from the inside of the
vault to an adjoining room. The profess

different from that of Marconi and that

sending instrument used was intended
only for short distances. The receiving
instrument, however, was complete and
ready for use ut any distance.

REBELLION IN CUBA.
II II Reported That mn Anti-Amcr-
lean War Is Likely.

HAVANA. Nov. 2S.--It is reported
that 1000 armed Cuban insurgents hao
taken to the woods in the province OF
Pinar del Rio and are prepared to fight
for Cuban independence, which they be
lieve Is in jeopardy.
The report causes great cXcitmcnt here
where anti-Amcrican sentiment, intlamed
by the talk of civil government being es
tablished, has reached high pitch.
Secret meetings of the Independence
party are being nightly held in Havana
and Pinar del Rio provinces, and anti
American sentiments are freely express
ed.
An uprising against the Americans is
said to be planned for Thanksgiving day
The American authorities have their
eyes open and are keeping in close touch
with the situation.
The Seventh cavalry and Eighth infan.
try have received orders what to do In
case of an outbreak and can be ready for
action at moments notice.
The anti-Amcrican sentiment in Cuba
Is due to the feeling that somehow the is
land is to be bunkoed out OF its inde-
pendence.
The accusation has been made that the
census of Cuba. now almost completed,
was taken with the ulterior design of rep
resenting that the native Cubans were
in the minority and that the desire for
annexation was widespread.
This sort of talk was largely confined
to the macontents and rabid Cuba libre
bhoutcrs
