PAPER SUPPRESSED

AN INDECENT CARTOON

Havana. The Discussion has been
suppressed by order of Governor Gen

closed and sealed. This action was
due to the publication in the Discus
sion OF an illustration having the IT,
tie of "The Cuban Calvary" repre-
senting the Cuban public, personified
in Cuban soldier being orucifed be-
tween two thieves, General Wood be-
ing represented as one thief and
President Mckinley as the other,

Senior Coranado, was arrested, but
was released on bail. 1t is probable
that no other action will be taken
against the Discussion than suppress

Senior Capote, president Of the Gu

General Wood and told the latter that
the convention individually and as
body regretted the publication of this

picture misrepresented the feelings OF
the Cubans who hold General Wood
and President Mckinley in the great
est respect and were deeply grateful
to them.
On his solicitation General Wood
allowed the Discussion to continue

DEPoPULATIoN OF INDIA.
Five Million Deaths Since 1896 from
Plague and Famine.

London-The depopulation of India
through famine and cholera is assum-
ing alarming proportions. The latest
advices from Simla say the census re-
turns of the contral provinces show a
decrease Of over million since 1891,
when under normal conditions an in
crease of million and half might
have been expected. 1t is estimated
that five millions have died in India
since 1895 from causes directly due to
the famine. The Odeypoor state re-
turns show a decrease of 81, 600 or 40
per cent Of the population the state
of Bhopaul shows a decrease Of $685.
900. The district Of Banda shows de-
crease of l24, 900 and so on. In Bonn
bay city the population has di-
minished by $4,000. The localities
which escaped the plaques show a
satisfactory though Incorporating
increase. For instance Madras, which
has gained per cent over 1891.

BEATS THE LUCAS GUSHER.
Another Big Oil Strike at Beaumont,
Texas

Texas.
Beaumont, Texas. sixth gush-
er oil we'll has been added to the
Beaumont field and it is reported the
finest we'll yet struck. The well is
located on the tract of land belonging
to the Higgins Oil Company. The
we'll came in between three and four
o'clock Saturday afternoon. 1t is
l,040 feet deep and showed a pressure
of eighty pounds to the square inch,
which is said to exceed the pressure
in the Lucas geyser, which has here
tofore maintained the record Of being
the greatest producer in the world.
The we'll is clear to the oil and it
was brought in without losing
dozen barrels of the fluid. Wynne
and Company, the drillers, were bail
ing the we'll and discovered that the
oil was coming before it gushed.
They had ths pipe equipped with n
double valve and succeeded in draw
ing the water out without losing any
of the oil.
The oil pool where it was struck
on the Higgins tract is just forty feet
deep and is is rising on a bed Of sui
phur. These facts were ascertained
by the drillers After the oil was
struck the pipe was permitted to sink
until it struck bottom, and it rested
after forty feet had gone down. The
drillers then bored four feet into
what they say is a bed of absolutely
pure sulphur was struck before the
oil was reached, drillers of the Batty
we'll reporting that, they went
through seventy feet of that sub
stance. The Higgins we'll, however,
demonstrates that the oil lake theory
is fact, and it is of interest to know
that at one place at least the lake is
forty feet deep.
The new gusher is located about
800 feet from the Lucas gusher.
President Gilbert says that one day
this week the valve will be opened to
test the flow, possibly the day the
Standard Oil delegation reaches the
city.

in July he was in the Hospital on

1t was not the season of study at
West Point and he never had had

with that handkerchief ard that
sauce got into his eyes. He had to
so back to the hospital on account
OF trouble with his eye.
About August II he was taken
off the sick list and his eyes so far
recovered that he could resume his
duties. Three days afterward he
was again in the hospital, as the
report shows. with stomach trout

during these three days might have
been coincidence simply, without
effect upon his health. but this is
what happened.
He had to cat great quantity OF
rice. a couple of boiled cabbaSes,
some sixty.thrce prunes. and was
compelled to do l50 eagles, and
went into convulslons, and u pillow
or blanket was placed over his face
so that his CRIES could not be card.
As Il result, 1t is believed. beyond

injury and the trouble with his
eyes, which the hcathens imposed
upon Kim, he was never again able
to do work at the Academy and
had TO resign.
