Sensational story Regarding an Outbreak
In Cuba.

The Havana Journal published a
statement to the effect that it had re-
ceived information from a Cuban Off
GER going to show that an outbreak had
been arranged for June /, on which day
the whole Cuban army would be ready
to take the field.
General Wood summoned the editor,
and his so-called information turned
out to be valueless. 1t was merely the
statement of a woman that a man, un-
known to her, had remarked that II the
Americans had not given the island
independence by June |, as the United
States congress had promised, there
would be trouble. The woman asserted
that the man had told her he was a
captain in the Cuban army, Undoubt-
edly the story is made out of whole
cloth.

ENORMOUS DEATH RATE

many Large Towns Have No Physician Ho.
couse People are too Poor to Support one.
The startling fact was recently made
public that in many districts of Porto
kico' where the population reaches
thousands, there is no resident physi
clan For instance, Wayula, a town of
1000 must depend upon simplest rem
edies in the case of illness, as there is
no physician within call. At Utando
the death rate is so per cent annually,
and this town is days ride from
Ponce through the mountains.
1t appears that physicians have been
sent to these districts, but they refuse
to remain, largely because no town is
able to support one, As result of this
condition of things, the order provid-
ing physician for every 500 persons
is now very difficult of enforcement,
because the towns reply that there is
no fund to pay for such service.
This island is one vast poor house,
and there are opportunities for charity
at every step We're S1o,o to be ex-
pended immediately for medicine and
medical aid it would possibly save the
lives of 1900 people. At one time the
government considered the feasibility
of assigning physician to each town,
at an aggregate cost of $50, 900 per year.
but the funds for such an outlay are
not available.

BAD FIRE AT HOPE, IDAHO.
Several Buildings Burned and One Life
Lost-No Insurance


Lost-No Insurance.
Fire broke out in Chase's saloon at
Hope, Idaho, April 13, resulting in
complete destruction of the following
property: Chases saloon, Leets res
taurant, w. j. Quirks store and the
postotiice, barber shop, Davis's sa-
loon, Meads restaurant, Horning's
house, Mrs. Lemley's house and a
church
BY blowing up a number of adjoin-
ing buildings Wanemaker's store was
saved thereby preventing total loss to
the western portion of the town. AS
strong wind was blowing from the
southeast, the danger to the eastern
portion of the town was considerably
lessened, although it took the mighty
efforts of the townspeople to check the
flames even then. The railway com
brought into service and rendered valu-
able assistance.
As Harry LuXer was going to see
why charge of dynamite, which he
had placed in the barber shop, did not
explode, it suddenly went off, throw
ing him clear off the bank and below
to the railroad tracks He is seriously
injured about the head and his life is
des paired of.
After the fire WAS under control some
boys were walking about the ruins,
when Willie Munroe found loaded
pistol near the Horning house and,
while handing it to one of his COM
rades, it exploded, hitting Willie in
the breast and killing him instantly,
The pistol was hot at the time and it
is believed the cartridge was exploded
by the heat
Mrs. Meade and her son Harold were
slightly injured by lying debris. The
total loss is estimated at S25, 600. No
insurance.

OLD YOUNG WOMEN.
Root of the Evil Is In Parental Indul-


gence.
One of the saddest features of pres
ent-day life is the condition of ennui
in which even the very young women
settle soon after their school days are
finished, says the Philadelphia Times.
At Is or 10 they have been everywhere,
seen everything, possessed whatever
their desires have prompted, and just
when life should be most filled with
beautiful promises they are hopelessly
stranded on the barren shores OF indif-
ference. The root of this evil is to
be found in paternal indulgence. The
American father and mother work
hard, saving all they can, denying
themselves luxuries and ofttimes neces-
saries as we'll, that their daughter may
reyel in that which they have never
taken the time or the means to enjoy.
From her earliest infancy the girl finds
that her lightest wish is to be graft
fed If 1t Is possible, regardless of the
fact that what she desires may not be
becoming to her age or to her condi-
tion of life That she wants 1t is all
that the parents consider, so that when
the time comes that such qualification
would have some significance she is
r.st enjoying it. She has nothing to
look forward to, she is surfeited. and
should she marry, her husband win
find this ennui the greatest bar to their
domestic happiness. A little more de-
NAL in early youth, plain food. plain
frocks, simple pleasures up to the time
of her debut, should be the rule. when
the delight of new sensations will more
than compensate for the doing without
that which has marked her pathway up
| to that time.

American war with those of the first

that the casualties suffered by the
American troops at the time of their
occurrence (Which were regarded in

tually very much less in number pro-
