PETIT GoAVE IN RUINS.
About 1000 Persons Homeless in Hal
ten City.

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, August IL
The correspondent of the Associated Press
visited Petit Goave yesterday ard found
that the town had been entirely destroyed,
there being nothing left but pile of ruins.
About 1000 persons are homeless, and are
greatly in need of assistance. The greater
number of them have sought shelter in the
Simmonds factories near the town.
The French cruiser D'Assas arrived at
Petit Goave yesterday with provisions for
the sufferers, and returned to Port au
Prince with go women and children and
fifteen wounded men. The authorities re-
fused to permit the Firmnists to leave,
fearing they would go to other points, to
take up arms again.
Each party accuses the other of having
set fire to Petit Goave. but the general be-
lief is that Gen. Chicaye, the Firminist
commander, resolved to destroy the town,
when he saw that he could not hold it
against the Fouchardists.
A Port au Prince dispatch on Saturday
last gave news of the burning of Petit
Goave, after an attack had been made on
the place by Fouchardsts. According to
that dispatch Gen. Chicaye, who is minis
ter of the interior in the Firminist provi-
SIGNAL government, set fire to the town and
abandoned it.

CAUSE OF YELLOW FEVER.
Awaiting Full Reports of the Discov-
ery at Vera Cruz

A recent cablegram from Havana, Cuba,
addressed to the United States marine hos
pital service, recites the fact that the yel-
low fever institute of the marine hospital
service and located in Vera Cruz, Mexico,
has discovered. the cause OF yellow fever.
This announcement is regarded by Surgeon
General Wyman perhaps a little prema-
ture. and he declines to discuss the matter
in detail until full reports have been re-
ceived from his experts at Vera Cruz. There
is little doubt, however, that Dr. Wyman
feels that an important discovery has been
made. The scientific world. therefore, as
well as the general public, will await with
much interest the details of the expert
ments which have been under way for the
past year by the experts of the department
in Mexico.

AN ERRONEOUS EXPRESSION.
Ex-Confederates Seem to Think They

gress relieving Union soldiers Of the dis
ability for having previously served in the

vail that under this act the government is
authorized to pension ex-confederate SOL
clers, and the result is that the pension

COPENHAGEN, August 1.-THE official
organ of the press exhibition, which was
opened here on June IA, prints a letter from
Thomas A Edison in reply to queries as to
his opinions concerning motor, traction and
aerial navigation. Mr. Edlson's letter reads
as follows:
"I believe that within thirty years nearly
all railways will discard steam locomotives
and adopt electric motors. and that the
electric automobile will displace the horse
almost entirely. In the present state OF
science there are no known facts by which
one could predict any commercial future
for aerial navigation"

INTENTION OF GERMANS

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Advices From Minister Bowen-Revo-
lutionists Reported Entering
Barcelona, Venezuela.

Minister Bowen cables the State Depart-
ment from Caracas that the cable had been
cut at Barcelona, Venezuela, Immediately
after the receipt of a message saying that
the revolutionists were entering the town
Minister Bowen has also cabled the State
Department that the Germans intend land
ing naval force at Porto Cabello to pro-
tect German interests. The minister ad-
vises that the same course be pursued by
the United States naval force in order to
protect American interests. The foregoing
dispatch was submitted to the Navy De
p2rtment, and after conference between
the state and naval officials q dispatch OF
instructions was sent to Commander Nick
els, commanding the gunboat Topeka, to
proceed from La Guaira to Porto Cabella
and to land force in case Of necessity.
The Topeka Sails for Porto Cabello.
The Topeka has already sailed for Porto
Cabello, which is only a short sail from
La Guaira, and the American warship will
probably reach there some time today
The trouble at Porto Cabello grows out
of the uprising which has convulsed Ven
ezuela for some time. This is directed
against President Castro and IL has kept
the country in a state of ferment for many
months. Minister Bowen recently sent
word that President Castro was leaving

The latter have been gathering strength at
Porto Cabello. Our consul at that point
sent word recently that the lives Of some
of the American residents. including mem
bers of his family. were imperiled, and two
of the ladies of the consuls family were
taken away in a government ship. Since
then there has been no word of a critical
condition of affairs, but the advices Of to-
day indicate that crisis has been reached.
Rights of the Germans.
There appears to be no question as TO
the right of the German naval forces to
land armed men for the protection Of Ger
man interests, and that action in no way
involves the Monroe doctrine. Germany
has been keeping close watch on Venezuela
for some months, and at one time coutern-

The response of the United States left
Germany free to act, as the assurance that
no territorial extension was intended fully

of that fact his committee room was con-

might be relieved from disa advantages that

IFoR CLERK OF COURTS, ArBERT
T. PAIGE.

With but seven weeks remaining be-
fore election, voters are taking more
and more interest each day in purely
local politics and that the Summit
county campaign Is to be an interest
ing and aggressive one among the rank
and file as well as among those more
directly and personally interested, Is
already apparent The candidates are
at work and in a short time the cam.
paign will be in full blast.
TO the average man who takes an
interest in politics there is genuine
pleasure in campaign when his party
has good strong ticket and prospects
of success are bright. 1t is with such
ticket and with such prospects that
the Democratic party approaches the
contest in Akron and Summit county
this fall. The personnel of the ticket
has never been better and there is
unity among all the candidates. They
are men who will attract the support
of the Independent voter as well as
that of the men Of their own political
faith.
Take, for instance, Mr.. Albert T.
Paige, for years one of Akron's best
known and best liked business men,
who, through no fault of his own, suf-
fered such financial reverses that he
was forced out of the field of CONNER
clal activity. He is the Democratic
candidate for clerk of courts. AS he
stood high in business affairs, SO does
he stand in the best of positions when
candidate before the people. He
has the confidence of business men of
all parties, he has many friends in all
parties, he is especially strong among
those who knew him in business life,
and irrespective Of political affiliations
in national or even state affairs, these
men are quietly lining up for Mr.. Paige
He appreciates the evidences of this
which have been shown him, but does
not intend allowing over-confidence to
defeat him. OF other candidates the
Democrat will have something to say
from day to day. &&
