NO TROUBLE In CUBA.
RumOr of Impending Uprising Spread
by Tricksters.

A dispatch from Havana. Cuba, says:
The frequent rumors cabled from the
United States regarding possible uprisings
in Cuba in the early future are causing the
press of the island to ask who is responsible
for these wonderful stories. The newspa-
pers, without exception. declare that the
people of Cuba never felt less like arising
than they do at present. Even the agita-
tors against continuance of the American
occupation have been counseling modera-
ton of late and the tenor of their recent
speeches has been greatly modified In
deed, the wish is everywhere expressed that
the forthcoming elections may pass or
without friction of any kind, as II is felt
that just now the eyes of the world are
turned toward Cuba, in her efforts to attain
government, and that any disturbances
or even objections on the part of the mi
nority after the elections would be Injurious
to the future of Cuba
The Cubano says: Presumably these re-
ports are the tricks of certain American
politician In order to get more United States
troops into Cuba. This individual is trying
to make II appear that the situation is I'M
safe. whereas. the fact is that just now the
Cubans are the most peaceably disposed
people in the world"

HE GUARDED THE MAIL.
Death of Richard Ii. Donaldson. an
Esteemed Attucke of British Embassy.

Esteemed Attncke of British Embassy.
With the passing of Richard B. Donald
son, at his residence, 2265 L street, last
Friday, the British embassy has lost most
valued attache. Donaldson was a member
of that corps peculiar to the British dfplo-
matte service to whom are confided the
absolute custody of the diplomatic mail.
The British government Is not disposed to
trust the secrets of diplomacy to the mercy
of domestic mails, it provides a special
corps of employees to insure the custody in
English hands of English diplomatic mail at
every stage in its transportation. These
messengers are selected with the greatest
care from among non-commissioned officers
of the regular army who have the necessary
personal qualifica tions-courage tact, readi-
ness and strength. Donaldson combined all
of these qualities, being of magnificent
physique, of good temper, of fine address
and with military record that proved his
courage. He wore three medals of honor.
and he was a veteran of many wars, hav-
ing fought in the SoHdan, in Abyssinia, in
AfghaniStan and in the Indian hills with
Kipling.
In Europe the duty of these mail couriers
is exhausting The man who carries an
important diplomatic secret overland from
ST. Petersburg to London across the con-
tinent is liable to many accidents. In semi
barbarous countries the risks are even
greater, and the messengers are often
obliged to make their trips by unexpected
routes, and they sometimes go by boat
when they meant to travel by rail, all in
order to avoid pitfalls.
Donaldson's lot was easier. 1t was his
business to take the embassy mail bag
in person to New York. and there
place it in the custody of the Brit
ish mail steamer. who, in turn, would
deliver 1t to the agent of the foreign
office upon arrival at the first English port
thus making sure that the mail never
passed out of English hands. He had also
to meet the incoming mail steamers at New
York. and. receiving the mail bags from the
hands of the British captain, bring them
himself to the embassy in Washington. He
had been discharging these duties for four
teen years at the time of his DEATH which
resulted from his own neglect OF car
buncle at the base of the brain, which
caused blood poisoning. His remains were
inferred in Glenwood cemetery yesterday.
1t will remain for the foreign Office to
nominate Donaldson's successor in the per-
son Of another non-commissioned officer OF
the army equal to the delicate duties of the
place

IN A TRANCE TWO YEARS.
Peculiar Case of IA Young Girl I'm Sal
Francisco.

Peculiar Case of a Young Girl in San
Francisco.
A dispatch to the New York Herald from
San Francisco, Cal, yesterday. says: Elida
Wilbur, a beautiful girl, who had been in a
trance for more than two years, died here
this morning. Her relatives had hoped, be-
cause of signs of returning consciousness,
that in a day or two she would recover.
The clse has been mystery to the medi-
cal profession, but it is believed the girl
suffered from rare form of hysteria. She
went to sleep in February, 1898, and never
really awakened. Her mother found her
lying Oh a lounge in her room with one
hand extended as if she had just dropped a
novel which was lying on the floor. The
gas was turned on, but there was no
thought that she had attempted to commit
suicide. 1t looked as if, overured, she had
fallen asleep.
paid court to- her, called up the Wilbur
house on the telephone at Z o'clock that
morning. and insisted that he must speak
with the girl. Mrs. Wilbur annoyed at so
early a call and at Dunphy's persistence,
consented to go to her room and see if she
was awake, and found her in the trance.
Her eyes were open and staring. Physi-
clans were summoned. and from that time
on every possible effort was made to
awaken her.
Electricity and all means known to ply
sicians were tried without effect. Then
they tried hypnotism and osteopathy, but
these methods also failed. The young wo-
man lost flesh to some extent, but was not
emaciated. No one could tell what the
matter was.
Miss Wilbur spoke about six weeks ago,
as If IN dream. saying, Nobody loves
me- and then relapsed into silence again
For the last few days the girl had been
sinking. Her constitution had given way
under the long strain.

Secretary Long has returned to the Sem
ate, with his report, the bill providing for
certain changes in the organization of the
revenue cutter service. The Secretary sup
ports the Chandler amendment, providing
that even where a revenue cutter officer is
senior to naval officer with whom his YES
sci may happen to fall in, the naval officer
shall not be displaced from his command.
Many reasons are urged in support of the
amendment by Secretary Long, and, Incl
dentally, he makes a strong argument
against the tendency to multiply navies,
meaning the various organizations. such as
the revenue cutter service, the army trans
port service and the coast survey, all Of
which. in his opinion. should be placed TN
