SEWERAGE SCHEME BLOCKED.
City Of Havana Unable to Negotiate a
Loan.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-A dispatch
to the Tribune from Havana says;
1t may be put down as almost a GER
tainty that Havana will not be severed
this spring or summer. owing to the
present unsettled state of affairs it is
impossible for the city to negotiate a
loan. Capitalists who have been offer
ing to lend the city money are now
said to be viewing the situation with
a great deal of timidity and there ap-
pears to be 10 doubt that the city will
be unable 20 negotiate the loan for
several months
The committee which was appointed
by General Wood to ascertain what
source Of revenue would be set aside by
the city to meet the interest and form
a sinking fund for a loan of S15,0O0,OoO
has practically reported that there is
not a source Of revenue to the city Of
Havana which could be set aside for
such purpose.
The members Of the city council ap-
preciate the fact that if they could
succeed in negotiating a loan they could
not receive the money upon as good
terms now as they can when things
pertaining to the future government Of
the island have been finally determin-
ed. The indications are that the sew
erage and paving scheme have been
blocked by circumstances for at least
eight months.

out result until we decided to try s. S. S., and by

began to disappear. A dozen bottles cured her

Curious Surnames.

A young soldier in the French
army who lately volunteered in the
service rejoices in the distinction Of
having what would appear to be one
of the oldest names on record. The
unlucky lad is named Adolph Maxi
milan E F G, these three letters
of the alphabet being all he Can
boast of as surname.
The recruiting sergeant severely
reprimanded the young volunteer
for disrespectful joking when he
spelled out his abbreviated pat
ronymic, and was only convinced
that the appellation was bona fde
when the lad showed him his pa
pers.
1t seems, however, that there are
queerer names than E F G.. For
instance, a wine merchant living in
the suburbs of Paris is called Mon
sieur O.
The name, by the way, is met
with in Normandy, where a family
was once known who bore the name
of DO, with the title of marquis.
A member Of the family, Francis
do, was superintendent of finance
under Henry III. of France.
One letter patronymics, however,
are not SO uncommon as might be
supposed. There are said to be five
persons in Paris whose names are
of this abbreviated type.

MOTHERS OF GENIUsES.
A Few Great Men Whose Talents Are
Directly Inherited Gifts.

In proof of inherited talent it is
said that the mother of Schumann
was endowed with great musical
ability, and that Chopin received
his gift and also his delicate con-
stitution from the maternal side.
Gounod's mother was exceedingly
fond of both music and painting,
while the mother of Spohr was an
excellent judge of music and fine
critic without being herself mu-
stefan.
Millions letters show tender love
and gratitude to his mother, and Ra-
leigh credits to his the politeness Of
department which ever distinguish
ed him. Goethe pays frequent trib-
ute in his writings to the character
and culture of his mother, as does
also the poet Wordsworth. Haydn
dedicated one of his most famous
instrumental compositions to his
mother, and Sydney Smith believed
that from his came his rare con-
vocational powers and quick rep
artee. It is well known that Glib
bon's mother was great reader and
cultivated the same taste and habit
in her son. The mother of Charles
Darwin made herself acquainted
with all branches of natural his
tory and entertained great fond
ness for animals.
This simple record is in evidence
that maternal talents and tastes are
frequently handed down and trace
able in sons as direct inheritance.
1t is claimed that the gifts of the
father usually descend to the daugh-
ters.-Exchange

THE OKLAHOMA LANDS.
Department Will Pay No Attention to
 the Injunction Suit.

Washington, July 23-Secretary Hitch cock said today with reference to the ef- fort to prevent the opening of the oklaho- ma Indian lands to settlement by injunc- tion proceedings at Fl Reno that the pre- parations of the department for the open ing will proceed as though no suit had been begun.
 We shall not let the matter go by de- fault" said he, "but we apprehend no obstacle from that proceeding. Any one can bring a suit"
 The secretary today took cognizance of reports coming from Oklahoma that the men who are registering at Fl Reno and Fort Sill are doing so with he intention of transferring their rights to others.
 ''The report" he said, Ifs to the effect that they can and will dispose of their numbers at enormous profits. That is absurd because it is impossible under the regulations for them to transfer their rights. For any of them to attempt to do so would be a clear violation of the law. They took an oath not to do such thing and to use their rights for their own ex- elusive benefit
 There can be no speculation in these numbers The secretary also said that reports are coming to the department of schemes for disposing of numerous town sites, the promoters offering chances to the public.
 ''The only town sites which have been authorized the secretary said, "are those of three county seats. No others will be sanctioned and no one knows where others will be. Hence all except those three are bogus and reports of their establishment should be denounced as in tended to deceive the public"
 Referring to the suggestion that the lands should be sold at auctions and the proceeds of the sale turned over to the Indians the secretary said:
 property as are any part of the public domain. They have been purchased from the Indians and the title Is no longer in their hands. The plan is not feasible Moreover, it would not be wise if possible for if the lands were put up at auction they all would fall into the hands of men with money and the poor man would have no chance whatever Under the present plan all have equal rights regard less of conditions of wealth, and this fact is recognized and made evident by the large number taking advantage of the op- portunity for registration"
 The registration will close at D m. on the 18th inst
