ARMY REORGANIZATION BILL
New Measure TO Remedy Defects In
Law of Two Ycars Ago.

Representative Hull Of Iowa. Chairman
Of the House Committee on Military AZ
fairs, said yesterday that he expected an
army bin would be passed at this session
amending the army REORGANIZATION bill of
twc years ago. That bill. he said. had
been passed under pressure. The situa-
tion at that tine demanded action OF
some kind, and 10 smooth it's enactment
many concessions OF an undesirable char
acter were made to the obstructtonists.
These. he thought. would be remedied
this session.
Mr.. Hull isyOrs a standing army Of 75.-
900 20 10000 men, sufficient to keep %. 600
TO 10000 men in the Philippines and af-
ford complete change Of assignment
every two years. He thinks two years
long enough for a soldier to serve in the
Philippines.

BANK CASHIER MISSING.
Accounts of California Institution
100000 short.

Los ANGELES. Cal. Dec. 9.-The dis
appearance OF Henry ]. FIeischmau.
cashier Of the Farmers and Merchants
Bank, and the fact that he left behind
a shortage of sl50.Oc0 caused much ex-
citement here, but this was soon allayed
when il was known that the bank was
fully secured.
Fleischman has been connected with
the bank for twenty-five years, entering
it as boy, and he has had the con-
fidence of l. W. Helman. the president
who was his patron and friend Last sat
urday Fleischman notified the bank he
would not be on duty as he was in. Moth
ing was thought of this. but when lie
failed to report this morning and en-
quiry at his club showed that he had left
there Saturday. II. W. Helman, the vice
president ordered Fleischman's books ex-
amined by experts.
Accounts Were short.
1t was soon found that his accounts
we're s15O.0OO behind. Notices were sent
out at once. but detectives have been un-
able to get any trace of he fugitive. He
had ample time to get into Mexico or
away on some steamer.
What makes Fleischman's crime aston
ishing is that he had valuable property
in Los Angeles. This and his $50. 900 bond
will make the banks loss about $40, COO
Fleischman lived at a club and spent
money literally in entertainment. but he
did not drink or gamble. though he was
fond Of women.
He married a rich cattle mans daughter
several years ago. but she secured a dI-
yorce. Fleischman was One OF the best
known business men in South California,
as he took pride in entertaining hand
sOmely anyone who brought letters from
San Francisco or elsewhere.

would be mere tri1e to the bank even

is also President of the Nevada Bank. is
rated at $4,000 900.
Mr.. Heiman said today: "The loss is

INDUSTRIES OF CUBA.
AGRICULTURAL HISTORY OF THE
ISLAND REVIEWED.
Land Owners, Formerly Cattle Graz
ers, Are Now Successful Planters
Fruits and Vegetables Are Fine
Sugar and Tobacco.

Agriculture, which is the main indus
try of Cuba, has been given the most
careful attention in the United States
census report, which has but recently
been issued. There are several chap
ters in the bulky volume when have
been devoted TO the subject of agricul-
ture with interesting and valuable re-
suits. Special schedules were prepared
for the taking of census statistics from
the plantations. Even so the greatest
difficulty was experienced in procuring
accurate statements, since the majority
throughout the war and were still I'M
settled. Travelling over miles of rough
country the census enumerators found
everywhere devastation and ruined
homes, still deserted and uncared for.
Tending to complicate matters also was
the fact that many of the plantations
had been divided into small patches of
ground in order to avoid the taxes
levied even on the smallest subdivision
of ground at the rate of So. The ma

able to give almost no information con
corning the land and it's productive
ness. The schedules which were after
much work returned therefore are
somewhat defective. Previous to the
last war there were in Cuba 90,96O
plantations, farms, orchards and cattle
ranges, which were valued at 100000
900 pesos, or about $200,OOO,O00. The

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY
IT IS SAID TO RESTORE LIFE
After 30 Per Cent of the Blood IL
LOst-TO Cure n Patient They First
Bleed and Then Inject This Salt
Solution.

Chicago, Jan. 8.--As result of pro-
tracted series OF experiments with salt So
buttons, the efficacy of which in protecting
life was recently announced by Professor
Loeb of the University of Chicago, two
prominent physicians here claim to have
demonstrated that in cases of great loss OF
blood by disease or injury, normal salt So
luton as a restorative will save life even
when 80 per cent of the blood has been
lost. The experiments, which have been
extended over six months, have, according
to the physicians, made practicable new
system of bleeding and substitution of salt
solutions for persons suffering from pneu
monia, typhoid, malarial fevers, peritonitis,
acute and chronic Bright's disease and all
heart affections resulting from the last
named complaint. Much success has fol-
lowed all their experiments, the physicians
say, particularly those made with pneu-
monia and Bright's disease. In their ex-
periments the physicians used over 100
dogs and found it possible to withdraw
20 per cent of the circulation from an
animal before it was necessary to inject
a stimulant.
The final test was made on a dog from
which 80 per cent of blood had been
drawn. A needle connecting with a salt
water apparatus containing 2 per cent
solution was inserted in the iugular vein
and second needle inserted in the juno
ton of the large veins lying close to the
heart. After the blood had been drawn
off the salt solution was forced in around
tho heart and into the vessels of the
brain. The dog was able to stand inside
of an hour, and on the following day was
able to walk.
A human patient suffering with pneu
monia who was operated upon recovered
in much shorter tinfe than is the rule with
those stricken with that disease. In cases
of malarial fever the injection Of the salt
solution was made directly into the spleen
and in six weeks all the symptoms of the
disease had disappeared. No claim was
made that cure had been effected in
cases of Bright's disease the physicians
merely asserting that they had removed
several of the most troublesome features
of the complaint.

the banana farms are in Porto Principe

Why Man Is SUPERIOR.

Man is Il perfected marsupial. He is

She, in her helplessness, is usually be-

equals him with one pouch fastened at
her waist. She was not evolved through
the laws of nature. but under the stern

He made pocket for his knife and

kept on making pockets as fast as he
needed them.

used are not manufactured in Cuba.
Tobacco is raised as an article of COM
merce In but four of the six provinces
of Cuba, Pinar del Rio, Habana, Santa
Clara and Santiago de Cuba, although
there is no question but that it could be
advantageOusly raised in the other two.
One of the industries which is now
practically dead, but which was form
erly the source of wealth and fame to
the island, is coffee raising. 1t is one
of the industries for which a great fu-
ture is promised, since it Is known that
for richness, flavor and the productive
capacity of the trees the coffee of Cuba
is not surpassed by that of any other
West India island or by South America.
History of Coffee Production.
In the years 1913 and 1916 violent
hurricanes visited Cuba and seriously
damaged the coffee crop. Owing to
these disasters the increased coffee
trade of the East Indies and South
America and the larger and more GER
tain profits of sugar cultivation. the
coffee industry of Cuba rapidly de-
clined and by 1850 the amount export-
ed was but $4,000 arrobas. The cof-
fee plantations were converted to other
uses and the trade in coffee practically
disappeared. The worlds estimated
coffee crop of 1900 is 15,2S5, 900 bags of
134H pounds each. OF this amount
Cuba is credited with 10000 bags. not
enough for home consumption. A con
sderation of these facts may result in
the revival of this important industry.
which, under free institutions. it is be-
lieved will regain its former position
among the agricultural resources of
Cuba.
The raising of stock, which used to
be one of the important resources of the
country, is no longer of any Importance.
excessive taxes having driven the land
owners into other branches of farm
production There are, however. few
better countries for stock raising than
Cuba and future promises are bright
for those who again undertake It.

EMPRESS OBJECTS 70 IERNy
ENJOYS ORDERED NOT TO SIGN
Viceroys PrOtest-MOre Delay win N.
Cnused-lt Has Been Sugges,..
That Negotiations BE Shifted Fr
Pckin to Washington.

Pekin, Jan S.-The protest of the v;o,
roy of Yang-tse to the signing of the Joint
note has created little surprise here, but
the fact that the other southern yiceroy,
also have protested, causing the court to
instruct the plenipotentiaries not to sion
the note, created a great sensation IN
Pekin. The agreement has not vet been
presented for signature. The ministers he.
lieve, however, that Prince Ching is too
irrevocably bound verbally, and think he
will sign tomorrow.
The objections of the southern vicerovs
are precisely the same as those which
the court originally telegraphed to Prince
Ching and concerning which, on the rem
reservations of Prince Ching and Ii Hung
Chang, the court eventually agreed to en-,
deavor to make better terms after the
signing of the note.
The court doubtless was informed Of
the protest from the south, because it
was generally felt that the dynasty had
less influence there than in the north.
Establish New Capital.
Chang Chi-Tung has strongly urged the
court not to return to Pekin, but to es.
tablish a capital in the Yang-tse valley.
He says this will strengthen the south
toward the Chinese cause, and that the
signing OF the agreement as it exists at
present would be a most serious menace
to the dynasty, as the state of the coun-
try is doubtful. The note will be signed
if China is very sincere in carrying out
the provisions OF the agreement.
Lii Hung Is Invisible.
Ii Hung Chang is invisible to the pub
lie. His attendants claim that he is suf
fering from serious relapse, though
many persons think his relapse is made a
convenience so that the signing of the
note can be delayed until the court can
be heard from again.
DOWaGer 40 Blame.
Washington, Jan. S.-Minister Conger
cables the state department that there is
ground for the belief that the empress
dowager is opposing the acceptance by
China OF the demands of the powers.
