LEE SUCCEEDS LUDLOW.
other Changes Among the General on


Washington, April 1S.-Formal or
ders will be issued soon by Secretary
Root directing the detachment of Brig
adler General Ludlow from the COM
mand of the city of Havana and assign
ing Brigadier General Lee to command
the new department of Havana and
Pinar del Rio.
These changes will occur on May /.
General Ludlow will receive instruc-
tions to report to the Secretary of War
for duty as president of the army war
college board. General Lee and Gen
eral Wilson will remain in Cuba until
after the municipal elections, which
will determine whether the military
force in the island can be further re-
duced.
Major General Wesley Merritt will
be detached from the command of the
department of the east before June 16,
when he reaches the retiring age. 1t
has been reported in army circles here
that General Merritt contemplates re-
linquishing his post next month in
order to start for Paris where he will
attend the Paris exposition.
Immediately upon his detachment,
General Brooke will receive orders di-
recting him to succeed General Merritt

A Rabbi Believes In Christ.

indianapolis, Ind. April 12.-Rabbi
Judah Wachsler lectured on Ancient
and Modern Judaism at the meeting
of the Christian ministers. He said:
1.-The modern Jews do not believe in
personal Messiah, but rather in a
spiritual Savior that will eventually
redeem all men and bring peace and
joy to all the world. But let me say
right here that 1 believe in Jesus
Christ, Jew though 1 am. l believe
that the doctrines of Jesus are good
and noble, and 1 believe that he was a
great man. All right-thinking Jews
agree that Christianity has done a
wonderful work in the redemption of
mankind. It IS wrong for people to
say that because the Jews do not be-
lieve in the divinity of Christ they are
inclined to mock at the man Himself
and His beautiful teachings. Had it
not been for the fanatics Christ would
never have been crucified."

DOCTORS ARE SCARCE THERE.
The Islane of Puerto Rico is One Vast
Poor House.

Poor House.
San Juan, Puerto Rico, April 14.-Th.
startling fact was recently made pub
lie that, in many districts of Puerto
Rico, where the population reaches
thousands, there is no resident ply
stefan. For instances Wayuya, town
of 500, must depend upon the simplest
remedies in the case of illness, as there
is no physician within call. At Utuado
the death rate is s per cent annually,
and this town is a 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 pro-
viding physician for every 500 people
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 poorhouse and
there are opportunities for charity at
every step.
Were $4,000 to be expended immedi-
ately for medicine and medical aid, it
would possibly save the lives of 5000
people. AT one. time the government
considered the feasibility of assigning
physician to each town, at an aggre-
gate cost of $50, 900 per year, but the
funds for such an outlay are not avail
able

Brother and Sister Reunited.

Wellington, Kas., April 13.-Miss
Florence Peniclz is the adopted daughter
of Rev. Thos W. Penicl1, of this city.
She is in her nineteenth year, being
one of 5 children whose parents died
in Kentucky and who were placed in
an orphan asylum in Louisville. She
was hardly two years old when adopt
ed, and remembers nothing of having
any brothers or sisters. A brother
was adopted at about the same
time, by DIR. jackson in Kentucky,
who removed to Texas and died
there. This boy is now known as
James C. jackson. He knew he had
relatives somewhere and after DR.. Jack
sons death commenced a search for
them. This has resulted in his coming
to Wellington to visit his sister.

The skunk's Handsome Fur.

: Although thousands of skunks are
yearly killed and their hides sold to
furriers, it is impossible to buy a
skunk skin in fur store. BY some
occult means the pelt changes its,Hame
between the time it is ripped off the
back of the animal, and the time that
it takes it's place in the show window.
Sometimes it changes its color as well,
though the skin is the loser thereby
for there are few bits of fur handsomer
than that grown on the outlawed
skunk. Pariah though he is, this I'M
savory animal, against whose life the
hand of man is ever raised, has been
able much better than any of his
brethren of good repute to hold his

A "Cyranno de Bergerac" trade

the picture of Ragueneau, and Rostand

Just such a Case in Topeka.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, April 13.-In the
federal court here Judge Shiras heard
the injunction suit of Davi' P. Kimball,
of Boston, a millionaire stakeholder in
the Cedar Rapids Water company,
against the city to restrain the publ
cation of an ordinance fixing new rates,
the company's franchise having ex-
pired.
On all points involved the court held
against Kimball, ruling that the city
had the right to fix the rates and also
had the right to award another fran
chise or build plant.
Topeka, Kas., April 13.-There is
exactly such case in the federal court

Judge Shiras will fit the case here.

BIG ONES AT CHINESE PORTS.

Washington, April 12.-The difficulty
IN securing sufficient number of sail
ors to man the new battleships and
other naval craft which are being
turned out by our shipbuilders has led
to the renewal in some quarters of the
suggestion that some of the larger YES
sells of Admiral Watson's squadron be
withdrawn from the Philippines to
make up the compliments of the new
ships at home. 1t is stated at the navy
department, however that no action
in that direction has been determined
upon and in view of the expected ar
rival on the lAsiatic station within
fortnight of Admirals Remey and
Kempff and the ensuing division of the
naval force on the station into two
squadrons it is not contemplated that
any change will be made.
The navy department officials realize
that for the purpose for which the navy
is now employed in the Philippines,
small light-draft gunboats are more
valuable than big battleships and mon
itors with their numerous screws. Still,
conditions in the east are so unsettled
as to make a withdrawal of any por-
ton of the large United States force
doubtful at this time in view of the
possibility of wholesale demands for
protection of American interests from
points on the mainland of Asia. 1t has
been so arranged that an American
,warship will be at hand for some time
so come at each of no less than three
properly distributed points on the main
land, which will serve as stations of
refuge in case they are needed. Thus
at Hong Kong there are now two YES
sells and these are from time to time re-
lieved by others needing repairs. At
Foo Chow, opposite Formosa, and about
half way up the coast of China, the
Yorktown will spend some time in dry
dock. The Castine is undergoing re-
pairs further north, at Shanghai, and
the Wheeling is lying in the mouth of
the river at Tal1u, as sentinel for the
northern provinces.

Civil Governor of Puerto Rico.

Washington, April 14.-Charles II.
Allen, at present assistant secretary of
the navy, will be the first civil govern
or of Puerto Rico While the formal
tender and acceptance of the position
could not be made in advance, it is
known that Mr.. Mckinley has been
bringing pressure to induce Mr.. Allen
to relinquish the care of his private
interests for a sufficient time-at least
to install the civil government in the
island and the latter has consented to
assume the new responsibilities. In
asmuch as the act takes effect on the
first of May there is but little time
left, in which to outline a skeleton
form of government including the
formation of a cabinet. 1t is under
stood that the new governor will be
taken to Puerto Rico in one of the
finest vessels of the navy.
