CONVENTION NOT PLEASED
With THEM.
Plans for Sewerage and Paving for
Havana viii Have to BE Postpon-
ed-War Department Reports Ev-
erythins Quiet on the island.

HAVANA. March 1s.-it is stated
that in a majority Of the individual
reports OF the members OF the Con-
stitutionaI Conventions committee on
foreign relations it viii be recon-
mended that the United States be CIV
en- the Isle of Pines and allowed to es-
tabiish sanitary measures under the
direction and control of the Washing
ton Government, but the other provis-
ions outlined in the Plat amendment
viii not be agreed to. The report OF
the committee will ve an extensive do
cument, giving reasons in detail why
the amendment cannot be accepted
1t is expected that the report viii be
submitted to the convention next
Tuesday or Wednesday.
WASHINGTON. March 1e.-Infor-
nation received at the War Depart
ment from Cuba is to the effect that
the island is in a more tranquil state
than ever before, and that the people
are now giving much heed to what is
being done regarding the government
of the island. The statements that
the Cuban Constitutional Convention
has rejected the Plat amendment to
the Army appropriation bill have not
been officially communicated to the
War Department.
NEW YORK, March 1S.-A dispatch
to the Tribune from Havana says:
1t may be put down as almost GER
tainty that Havana will not be sewer
ed this spring or summer. Owing to
the present unsettled state Of Affairs
it will be impossible for the city to ne
gotiate a loan. Capitalists who have
been offering to lend the city money
are now said to be viewing the stu
alton with a great deal of timluily
and there appears to be no doubt that
the city will be unable to negotiate
the loan for several months.
The committee which was appointed
by General Wood to ascertain what
source of revenue could be set aside
by the city to meet the interest and
form a sinking fund for loan Of $751;
100000. has practically reported that
there is not source of revenue to
the city of Havana which could be set
aside for such purpose. The men,
bers of the City Council appreciate
the fact that if they could succeed in
negotiating loan they couid not re-
ceive the money upon as good terms
now as they can when things pertain
ing to the future government Of the
island have been finally determined.
The indications are that the sewerage
and paving scheme has been blocked
by circumstances for at least eight
months.

GROWlNe GARDEN TRUCK
ON HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
Work to Be lnausurated by the Agent
of the Department Of Agriculture
TO Teach Farming.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Jared
Smith, who has been in charge of the
Offices of seed and plant introduction
in the Department Of Agriculture, has
been directed to start in a few days
for Honolulu to establish an agricul
tural experiment station there. AS di
rector his first work will be to teach
the Hawaiian people how to grow gar.
den truck. Most of the vegetables now
consumed in the islands are imported
from San Francisco. They will be
taught also the value of dairy COWS
among poor families, butter and
cheese making; the forage plants most
economically produced for Hawaiian
consumption and the expediency of
poor families raising chickens and
pigs.
This agricultural missionary work
in the interest of the common people
of the islands will be essayed before
other agricultural problems will be
considered. There are 200 acres, run
ming from the coast to the top of a
mountain, set apart by the Hawaiian
Legislature for this purpose. These
matters will be given attention near
the coast; coffee-raising will be
studied on the higher elevations and
forestry work will be done on the
mountain tops.
Regarding agricultural experiment
work in the Philippines Secretary Will
son says: Congress will not appropri-
ate money for experiments in the
Philippines ntil the people there have
quieted down. Then the Department
of Agriculture will be ready to conduct
researches-in fact. the greenhouses
OF the department here now have
plants growing for shipment there as

NEW YORK, March 1S.-A dispatch
to the Herald from Washington says:
Ii the view Of the Administration is
supported by the next Congress, the
President will obtain discretionary au-
thority to acquire either the Nicaragua
or the Panama canal route. On this
account the stock of the Panama Can
al has arisen since the adjournment
of Congress. Several prominent mem
bers of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee cordially favor ,Ae idea of
empowering the President to choose
the route he thinks the more advan-
tageous, although the bill which pass
ed the House and was pending before
the Senate during the last session pro-
vided for the adoption of Inc Nicara-
qua project
Secretary Hay has requested Mr..
Silva, the Colombian Minister, to sub
NIT a formal memorandum embodying
the verbal proposals regarding Ameri-
can acquisition of the Panama canal
route which were submitted recently.
Mr.. Cocoa, the Nicaraguan Minister,
and Mr. Calyo, the Costa Rican Minis
ter, both of whom have worked ener-
getically to promote the Nicaraguan
canal, will leave next week for their
respective countries and will return
charged with new instructions relative
to the concessions their Governments
are willing to make to the United
States.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Secre-
tary Hay had long conference today
with Senator Morgan respecting 18TH
milan canal matters and ACCESSIBILITY
of re-opening negotiations for a trea-
ty with Great Britain on the subject
The Secretary is losing no opportunity
of acquainting himself with the views
of Senators on this subject and the
conference today with Senator Nor
gan is only one of nearly dozen he
has had on the same subject with lead
ing Senators and representatives
since the adjournment of the fifty
sixth Congress.

A Beautiful Relic Discovered

Prof. c. II. Shaw, an antiquarian Of Chicago and now resident Of Phoe- nix, who has delyed among the pre- historic ruins of Arlzona for several years, recently discovered necklace consisting of twenty-eight great blue turquoise stones, unusually rare for size, beauty and value. The stones were discovered in an apartment in the ruins near Casa Grande, contain ing stone slabs with inscriptions and pictures, one of them representing a ruler and armed attendants brandish- ipg thelr weapons in a close engage ment with an indescribable beast. The necklace, stone slabs and crude implements buried in the ruins, as well ss many other turquoise stones interspersed in the mound have been removed to Shaw's private museum and form the most valuable part of a rare collection of relics aud antiquity from the Indian tribes and prehistoric races from all parts of Arizona and a few places In Mexico and New Mexico.
 Prof. Shaw believes his necklace to have once been feature of royal prehistoric treasury, discovered in a dwelling of king. It is probably one of the most magnificent arrays of tur- auDises in existence and would be a prize in the treasury of the shah of Persia.
 Arizona tradition tells of the great prcdilection of the aborigenes for tur- quoise stones. They displayed beads and trinkets, bearing many large stones and they were induced to part with them by early traders for almost valueless trinkets. The mounds of the mound builders and the Aztecs in va rious parts of Arizona and New Mex leo, abound in antique vessels of earth. en ware, studded with the most valu- abl, specimens of turquoise.

Girl Kills a Lynx.

Miss Elizabeth Van Fossen, the six teen.year-old daughter of II. $. Van Fo->en, a well known rancher on the Yuma road, five miles east of he city, had an experience a few days ago, which most girls would not relish, but
 wh ch showed vast lot of pluck on the part of Miss Van Eos ,en She is student at the high school, and when she returned home one alter noon last week, she found no one there. She sat down to read, but she was aroused a short time later by a tremendous commotiUn among the poultry in the barn yard. GlanciI z out the window she saw an imm nse lynx near the wood pile, CT spiug her fat lher's gun, which had both bar rels loaded wifh heavy shot, she hur- rie1 out.

Killed by his Brother.

A heartrending shooting occurred at Tempe this morning, in which the sixLeen-year.o son of Juan Laza, a respected Mexican, lost his life at the hands of his eight-year brother. The boys were playing in the yard with twenty two calibre target rifle, and the tragedy ocurred in the same old manner which has filled so many graves.
 The younger boy pointed the gun at the elder and saying "1'm going to shoot you," pulled the trigger. The b y fell dead with a bullet through h's heart. The younger lad is nearly crazed with grief.
 The news was brought to Phoenix by James B. McNeil, of the Arizona Mercantile Co.,, who reported It to Deputy Sheriff Moeur.-E Enterprise.

forty feet from the brute and fearing an attack she threw the gun to her shoulder and fired. Until then Miss Van Fossen had rever become ac- quanted with the kicking propen- sities of a breech-loader. In her haste she pnlled both triggers and got double action both on the lynx and upon her shoulder. The recoil threw her back ward and she thought for a moment that the lynx had struck her. Hurry ing to her feet, however, she saw the big cat writhing in it's death agonies. The heavy charge tore big hole In the beast, but not enough to injure the skin, which will doubtless always serve to remind Miss Van Fossen of an interesting time in her career.- Republican.

They were lodging in Highland

stocked with good after-dinner
wines.
One day the sherry bottle was

They determined to set trap.

AN INDIAN REPUBLIC.
Country of the Cherokees in the
Mountains of Western North
Carolina.

In Woman's Home Companion Mr..
sLandon Knight gives the following in
teresting account of unique republic
in North Carolina:
Every one, of course, knows of the
little republics of Europe, but very
few realize that in the United States
there is a country that is larger,
wealthier and more populous than San
Marino, Gaust and Monico combined.
Those domin<ons are not, nor indeed
is the United States, more thoroughly
republican than this little country
nestling among the mountains of
western North Carolina.
There are legends and traditions
which may Indicate that ages beyond
the ken of the historians vision, and
when the ancestors of the princes and
potentates of the world of to-day were
dwelling in caves like wild beasts and
were subsisting on shell-tish and
acorns, these people were the lords of
an ancient civilization. But, however
that may be, it is certain that these
people--the Cherokee lndians-were,
when first discovered by the white
man, the most civilized OF any of the
aborigines on the North American
continent, with the exception of the
Aztecs and Toltecs of Mexico. Ogle-
thorpe and his colonists found them
inhabiting magnificently beautiful
and fertile section of the country, EN-
bracing what is now northern Geor-
gia, southern Tennessee and western
North Carolina. They received him as
a brother, and bade him take as much
of their lands as he and his people
might need. Writing of them to Wes-
ley, he said: at is strange how used
they are in the ways of Kindness and
oivflity; but most do / marvel at their
government, which of a truth is not
unlike our own in some particulars
With truth he might have gone fur
ther and said that in many things
there were poiffts of superiority, in
their favor over the British govern
ment of that day. For with them the
idea of a kingship and a nobility with
their attendant privileges had never
found lodgment, but their theory OF
government was democratic, differing
only in form from other democracies
and in fact relying for its strength and
stability upon the consent of the gov
| erned"

WHEN WASHINGTON swoRE.
Former Secretary Foster Tells of the
First Presidents Anger Mt
the senate.

In discussing the language used in
tury or more ago, former Secretary
John w. Foster explained in lecture
to Yale students recently that treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain in 1853 began with these
words:
"In the name of the Most Holy Trim
ity."
"A curious thing about those that
signed that treaty on behalf of the
United States" Mr.. Foster said, was
that only one of the three believed in
the Trinity. He was John Jay. OF the
other two John Quincy Adams was a
Unitarian and Benjamin Franklin
WELL" added the speaker, 'well, Frank
lin could hardly be called orthodox"
Mr.. Foster gave out story about
George Washington that was new to
nearly everyone in the audience. The
negatives of presidents of this coun.
try, in the early days of the republic,
as the only eaty-making power
The senate of the United States in
those days did not have so much to say
about treaty provisions. Washing
ton, who was then president, thought
he would have conference with the
senate about a treaty then under con.
sideratiOn.
Pres sident Washington thought he
would be nice TO the senate explained
Mr.. Foster. ''and he met the senate
For two hours tn senators, much Il
Washington's great annoyance, piled
him with questions and cross-ques
tons until the president, very mucf
exasperated, retired from the senate
When he was passing through the sen
ate he turned to one of his friends anC
said:
III be diff I'll ever come her,
again."

THE SUICIDE BUG.
Minute Insect Of CUBA That Bur-
rows the Human Skin.
Extreme Discomfort Created by the
Tiny Pest which Dies fn the
Pores-Similar 10 Our
"Chigger."

Notwithstanding the oft-repented
statement that everything that exists
was created for purpose, entomolo-
gists are having hard time in trying
to determine for just what purpose
the "Leptus Cubensis" was made, and
up to date no satisfactory returns
have been received, says the Philadel-
phia Press.
The "Leptus Cubensis," or Suicide
! Bug" as it is better known, is native
of that beautiful, bloody island which
is Just now giving us so much concern,
and it is to be earnestly hoped that
should we ever annex Cuba, the Sui
eide Bug" will not be included in the
articles of annexation.
The one notable thing that this min
ute creature does is its act of self-de-
structon, and this might be taken as
an expiation of its life of utter use
| lesSness.
Along the creeks and swamps in the
heart of the evcrfaithful isle the Lep-
tus is found, and while he never straSs
from his native haunts in search of
human prey woe to the unfortunate
wayfarer who crosses his path and dis
| turbs him in his own territory. for'he
never fails to connect with the trav-
| eler. and once he lands leaves an inn
preston that never fades.
I The nearest kin to the Lcptus in this
country is the red bug or "chiggoe' of
the southern states, resembling him,
! both in size, color and mode of operat--
ing, but the Cuban variety possesses a
capacity for creating trouble that
should be allotted to nothing smaller
in size than fnll-grown elephant.
Once on the clothing of the traveller
] the size of the pest enables him to
| walk right through the meshes of the
cloth as a man would pass under the
arches of the public building, and ar
irving at the skin of his victim he
starts on a quiet hunt for a pore.
The human body is covered with
these little glands and it does not take
great while before his bugship has
| located one just to his taste, and hav-
| ing decided on his base of operations
the monster plunges in, head fore
most, burpowing inward with all the
vigor of it's mighty little frame, until
it reaches the curly end of its tunnel
where it promptly lies down and dies.
What follows can be described fully,
only by victim who has survived, but
the trouble usually begins with ter
rife itching, which gradually increases
until on the appearance of big livid
lump, the size of peach stone, the
sufferer feels that he has had plunged
into him a barbed spike previously
heated to whiteness.
This condition is aggravated by the
fact that no remedy has been discov-
cred that will give immediate relief
and the little carcass goes on generat-
ing formic acid for two or three days
during which time the sufferer lives
on the verge of insanity.
After this the swelling subsidies,
leaving nothing more than bitter
recollection and mark like small
poN pit, but in cases where the mites
have Travelled in gangs and beset the
victims in large numbers erysipelas
has ensued, and cases are known
where paralysis of the legs has fol-
lowed an attack.
