SLAUGHTER HOUSE CASE.
Secretary of War Has Sustained Action
 of Cuban Authorities.

Washington, December 27.-The secretary of war has sustained the action of the mill itary authorities in Cuba in what is famtl- iarily known as the Slaughter House Case" without prejudice, however, to the full, legal rights of the claimants, which are left to the future determination of the courts of Cuba. The case involves many important legal questions and bids fair to become a subject of litigation for years to come
 This claim had it's inception in a grant by the Spanish crown in 17S3, early in the last century, to Don Castro Puerta of the privilege of holding in his family in per petuity the office of sheriff of Havana, The male line of the family having become extinct, the office created by the Spanish crown passed to Count Oreilly, then hus- band of the daughter of the recently de- ceased high sheriff. The last incumbent is the present Countess Oreilly and Buena Vista, who is joined in the issue by Dr. Don Gustayo Gailet Duplezs of Havana, who purchased an interest in the molu- ments of the office at public auction in Havana in 1895. The principal emolument each head of large cattle killed in Havana ment of Havana vacated this order on May 20, 1899, and this was affirmed, on ap- peal, by General Brooke in August. The case came up on appeal to the secretary of war; and after several months consid- eration, has just been decided against the claimants, so far as the United States IS concerned

FIFTY TONS OF CANDY.
Have Been Sent to Our Soldiers in the Philippine Islands by the
 Government.

Fifty tons of candy have been sent to the soldiers in the Philippines Islands by the commissary department of the army during the last three months and large amounts to the soldiers in Cuba and Puerto Rico.
 This is done upon advice Of the medical officers of the army, because it is physio- logical fact that moderate consumption of confectionery promotes health and satisfies a natural craving of the stomach.
 Candy was never furnished to the United States army before although it has been commonly used as a ration by the French and British troops in the tropics.
 This explodes another old fashioned the- ory that sweets were injurious to the df- gestive organs, while a moderate use of sweets is actually beneficial.
 Very few things are injurious, and the food cranks who advocate the use of few grains and vegetables and decry the use of sweets and meats are in error, as a whole some variety of meat and vegetable food is absolutely necessary for the maintenance of the highest condition of health.
 The best rule to follow Is to eat what the appetite craves, and if there is any discom- fort or trouble In digesting meat and sweets the difficulty can be readily overcome by the regular use after meals of some safe di- gestive composed of pepsin and diastase which will assist the stoma oh by increasing the flow of gastric juice and furnish the ma tural peptone lacking in weak stomachs.
 The best preparation of this kind is prob ably Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at all drug stores.
 Years of use have demonstrated the value and effectiveness of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of impaired digestion.

PROTEST AGAINST PlLLAeE.
French Statesman Calls Attention to
 Atrocities In China.

Paris, December N.-In the Chamber of Deputies today M. Marcel Sembal, Radical Socialist, representing one of the districts or the Seine called attention to the reports of cruelties upon the part of European troops in China. He said the French sol- diers were no freer from reproach than the Germans and Russinas. They had com mitted similar atrocities. He also protested against pillage which he asserted had been carried on systematically and he accused the missionaries of participating therein.
 The Minister of Marine, M de Janessen, replied that the government had ordered an inquiry and would severely punish all really guilty parties, but as a consolation he was able to say that the French soldiers had been much less barbarious than those of other nations.
 The governmen, the minister continued, has ordered all the articles sent to General Frey to be restored to the Chinese govern ment.
 M. de Janessen concluded with the ex- pre- on of hope that overt acts committed would not be renewed.

Police Give 1t Up.

Omaha, Neb December N.-All hope of capturing Pat Grove in this vicinity has been abandoned and the police and detec- tives on the case have now settled down to a systematic search for evidence from the clues in their possession. These clues are few, but may aid in something tangi- ble.
 The police are now going over the entire ground covered by the bandits Tuesday and Wednesday night of last week. St. Jo- seph, the police think, Is the last city in the middle West that Pat Grove would visit at this time. So far as the police know Grove has no relatives in or near St. Joseph, but it is well known that he has had friends there A development in the case is that the man who rented the cottage on Grover street gave the name of J. ]. Connor Grove has a brother-in- law named Conner, and those working on the case are more inclined to believe in view of this fact, that Grove reDted the house

ANARCHISTS SHOOT
 CHIEF OF POLICE
Patrick Brown Shot Down in the Dark on Streets of
 Barre, Vt,

Barre Vt, December 27.-Chief of Police Patrick Brown is in a critical condition, with small hopes of recovery, on account of three bullet wounds inflicted by Ital- ian Anarchists early today. The chief had been called to a hall in which Anarchists were holding a ball and was shot from ambush on his way back to the station. Otta Bernaeio and Budgin Sassi have been arrested and identified by the chief as being connected with the attempted as- sassination.
 The row at the Socialists Hall occurred about midnight, when several persons, who were known to be Anarchists, appeared at the hall. Fists, clubs and revolvers were used and the police were summoned to put a stop to the disturbance.
 After considerable difficulty the combat ants were separated and disarmed and the Anarchists were expelled. This seemed to settle the difficulty and the police with drew As Chief Brown was making his way along a lonely street he heard a shot and a bullet whizzed by his head This seemed a signal for fusilade from different directions and the chief started to run at the same time trying to open his coat to get his own revolver. However. two bull lets struck him, and as he fell a third found lodgment in his body. In the ex- citement after the first shot three men had appeared and the chief recognized them all.

CAR CONDUCTORS AND PENNIES.
An Amount of Trouble Had With Pay
 ment In Coppers.

From the New York Tribune
 T never knew 1t to fail," said the con- ductor, giving the bellcord two sharp pulls. Stop a car between crossings for a woman and she'll give you five coppers sure You know coppers are no good when we make returns to the office-cant hand them in. Nothing goes but bills and silver and that's the reason we try to get rid of them as quickly as we can. But some days, es- pecially at this time of the year-Thirty- fourth street!-when there are more wo- men and children on the cars, we get hand fuls of them. Lots of people know that we can't turn them In with our cash, and stick us with them just to-Hold fast!- Grand Central-step lively-no, this is all right; station entrance on this side now. No, we don't transfer on this street. please step forward in the car.'
 When the conductor returned to the plat form he continued: "Yes they stick us with pennies to get even. If a conductor does anything that woman thinks is not just right she gets even by taking her car fare along in pennies, and she gets rid of them to one of us. At Eighty-fifth street lot of girls get on every morning to go to school. Some come form the West Side and have transfer tickets-Fifty-ninth street trans fer, east and west-yes! transfers on the street. On the street I told you; step live ly, let, 'em off-yes, was saying about the girls for school; some have tickets and some pay on this line. Well, the other day eightgirls. all in bunch, each gave me five coppers. It was all fixed up between them, I could see by the way they snick- cred, but don't know why-they must have had it in for one of the boys, and I got it. Seems, to me the queer prices in the stores, 21 cents, Il cents. and like that, bring pen nies into circulation, and we're sure to get them. Now, sometimes when we try to get rid of few, and no conductor would try to stick a passenger with more than i've we get all kinds of eyes thrown at us, and people think we're trying to do them. If they knew that we couldnt-Eighty-sixt street, transfer east and west-al change car ahead for Harlem-can't help 1t If the car was marked 18th street; we don't go any farther"-and the talkative conductor ran toward the cashiers window to turn in his bills and silver.
