WERE LOOKING FOR TROUBLE
Cubans Though the Presence of an
Officer at Election Registration
Was a Menace.

Santiago de Cuba, May 4.-Yesterday 4.
was the last day for registration for
the municipal elections in June. The
fact that an American officer was sta.
toned at the booths to receive protests
caused much excitement the politicians
claiming that it was. another case OF
American interference.
There seems to be no doubt of the suc-
cess of the whole republican party, not
withstanding the overwhelming majority
of the nationalists.

St. Petersburg, May 4.-Many
students, a number of female stu
dents, workingman, liberal lead
ers, lawyers and Hterateurs We're
arrested and five hundred houses
We're searched here Thursday

the movement is to prevent de-
monstra tions on Sunday next
which is regarded as Labor Day.
The advisabilitysof the step is con-

able, as it may easily provoke
trouble.
Among the houses searched
were those of Prof. Leshaft di-
rector of the woman's college and
barister Bernstam. Sentries have
been posted near the factories to
into the city.

FLAGSHIP CREW
IS MUTNOUS

HONGKONG, Jan. s.-Considerable ex-
element has been caused by the fact
that the crew of the Bar6eur. Admiral
Bruce,s flagship, have mutinied and
thrown the gun sights overheard, thus
rendering the ship practically useless.
The local authorities are very reticent
in regard to the affair. It is alleged that
the crew considered themselves badly
treated in the apportionment of the Pc
king loot They further complained OF
heavy punishments. The grievance OF
the petty officers was that they We're re-
fused reasonable leave at Hongkong att
or eight months active service. 1t is
stated that a non-commissioned officer OF
marines was wounded Intentionally. The
facts are difficult to obtain, but it Is al
legged that there are forty or fifty men
in cells The whole ships company nave
had their leaves stopped and all have alb
refused to obey the officers.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., July 15.-
Christopher Anderson, an old resident
Of this city, who moved to Lincoln
about two years ago, shot himself
upon the grave of his wife in Wyuka
cemetery in this city. The weapon
used was 32-caliber revolver, the
muzzle of which was evidently placed
in his mouth. The ball passed up
ward and lodged in the brain. DR..
Neal probed for the ball, but could not
locate it. The physician states that
the man cannot live. Anderson came
to Nebraska City thirty-five years ago
and lived here up to the time of the
death of his wife two years ago, when
he moved to Lincoln and took up his
residence with his son. He was a mer-
chant tailor. He came here to visit
a son and seemed in the best of spir-
its, although his health had not been
good lately. His family consists of

man to pay over to the elders a sum
representing tithe, or 10 per cent o.

said that he knew nothing about the

cared less. He added that he would

why. "Oh, it's entirely optional"

YORK, Neb., July 15.-For miles
and miles along both sides of the Bur
lington, the Elkhorn and the Kansas
City & Omaha railroads in this county
are fields of winter wheat shocked and
stacked and the long wheat stubble is
dry, easily catching fire. Yesterday
morning the Elkhorn train coming
from Henderson, this county, set fire
TO wheat stubble in seven different
places. The train stopped each time
and the train crew with shovels put
out the fires before doing any damage.
Yesterday nineteen shocks of winter
wheat were burned up on Hon. An
drew J. Sandals farm east of York,
supposed to have caught from engines
on the Burlington. Nearly all of the
farmers are blowing fire guards be-

last night to the Amalgamated asso-

American Steep Hoop company, the
American Sheet Steel company and
the American Tinplate company, will
be obeyed and the great struggle be-

and the steel companies will be on in
earnest today.
In the union mills of the three COM
panies against which a strike has
been declared it is predicted that not
a wheel will turn. An effort will be
made also to close down some of the
non-union mills of the companies and
tc cripple the rest. The Amalgamated
people are very sanguine of success.

MILEAGE or THE COUNTIES.
Nebraska Industrial Department Figures
Railroad Facts.


LINCOLN, Neb., July 15.-The de-
partment Of labor and industrial sta
tistics has completed a compilation
showing the number Of square miles
Of territory, date OF permanent or
ganization and number of miles of rail-
road for every county in the state.
This information was obtained from
various sources. The railroad statis-
tics were compiled from the official
records of the auditors Office, the fig
ures relating to square mileage from
the state survey and the dates of Or
ganiaztion from histories, county and
judicial officials and early settlers.
The dates of county organization
comprise an entirely new feature of
Nebraska statistical information. 1t
was necessary for the compilers to
consult every source Of information to
get the correct dates, and very often
these sources gave conflicting accounts.
In Knox county, for example, the
first organization was destroyed by In
dians and the next establishment be-
came confused with the military
force stationed in the county. In such
instance the date of permanent or
ganization was accepted. The figures
given in the report have been verified
and they will soon be officially pub
lished by the state.
