SNOWBOUND $50 HOURS
The Experience of Passengers on
Great Northern Train.

st. Paul, March 21.-Thre hundred
Great Northern railroad passengers
from points west of the eastern Mont
ana line, twenty tons of mail matter
and car of baggage that had been
snowbound in Sourh Dakota since
last Friday reached St. Paul last
night. The first section of the through
train arrived at 500 o'clock, breaking
blockade that lasted 1904 hours.
Passengers told stories of old time
frontier privation. They were on the
first eastbound overland train snow
bound and they were caught at Stan
ley, S. D., station consisting of
side track and cattle yard.
From Thursday night until Monday
morning the passengers were hardly
able to leave the train. A blizzard
prevailed and no food was to be had
except the limited quantity on the din
ing car. Sunday the coal in the day
coaches gave ont. Two brakemen took
empty mail pouches and, going for
ward over the drifts, filled them from
the tender of the engine. They return
ed with supply of fuel after a hard
fight against the storm, in which both
were frost bitten. Monday the snow
plows reached the train and it was
sent west to Williston, where local ac-
commodations were available and
food plenty.
Incoming passengers reported snow
drifts at Stanley thirty-ive feet high.
In other places the big rotary plows
left snow tunnels where the worst of
the drifts had been. Much trouble was
experienced in clearing the tracks be-
cause of the sand gathered up from
the level prairies by the wind and
mixed with snow. This dulled the
knives of the rotary plows, making
constant repairs necessary.

MILES Is SLATED TO GO
A Third Breach of Discipline Since Mr.
Roosevelt Took Office.

Washington, March 21--The state
ments made yesterday by General
Miles before the Senate committee on
military affairs were discussed by the
President today with several callers.
There is little doubt that these state
ments will lead to General Miles's re-
tirement by the President. In dis
cussing the matter today with these
callers, among whom were senators
and representatives, the President
tool the position that the lieutenant
general of the army should entertain
toward his superiors the same respect
that he would expect and demand from
his subordinates.
In the expressive language Of the
base ball ''rooters," General Miles
has been 'playing for his release"
for several months. He has modified
the testimony he gave yesterday before
the Senate committee, threatening to
resign his position in the army If the
War department. bill became a law,
Du0 uuS puDIlC huOWS NOW dS IL pOSl-
tive,fact what it had.only before sus
pected, that there are irreconcilable
differences between the President and
the lieutenant general of the army and
that General Miles is persona non
grata at the War department. Three
newspaper controversies absolutely
subversive of military discipline have
arisen in which the President and the
lieutenant general of the army have
figured in the few months that Mr..
Roosevelt has been President. The
last, Of course, overshadows the
others, but they must be considered in
their order to prove the growing fric-
tion which reached its climax when
General Miles was called to testify
before the Senate committee on mill
tary affairs.

WHAT U. S. HAS DONE.

Washington, March 22.-An inter-
esting statement concerning the i'm
provement in health conditions in Ha-
vana since the American occupation
of Cuba with special reference to the
vital statistics of the calendar year
1901 has been made public. by the in
sular division of the war department.
Particular attention is paid so the
purging of the city from yellow fever
during the past year by the destruc-
tion ofIlinfected mosquitoes. 1t is Of
vast importance, the statement says,
that these facts should made known
to the world extensively and as rap
idly as possible During the past
forty-fve years. with scarcely an ex-
ception, some deaths have occurred
from yellow fever in every month of
the year: the maximum, 2,05S deaths,
in 1867; the minimum, iity-one deaths
in 1866. with the average 75l. The
number of other infectious and con-
tagious diseases has been small dur
ing the calendar year 1901. There has
been very little diptheria and typhoid
fever, and the tuberculosis rate is
about that of most cities of civilized
countries. A rapid decrease has taken
place since American occupation. A
marked decrease in malaria has also
decreased since the mosquito work be-
gan. The statement concludes as fol-
lows:
"The army took charge Of the health
department of Havana when deaths
we're occurring at the rate of 2l, ,252
per year. 1t gives it up with deaths
occurring at the rate of 5,720 per
wear. 1t took charge with smallpox
epidemic for years. 1t gives it up with
not a single case having occurred in
the city for over eighteen months. 1t
took charge with yellow fever epidemic
for two centuries. 1t found Havana
feared as thing unclean by all her
neighbors of the United States, and
quarantined against 8 too dangerous
to touch, or even to come near any
thing that she had touched, to the un-
told financial loss of both Havana
and the United States. 1t has es'
tablished the fact that yellow fever
is only transmitted by certain species
OF mosquito, a discovery that in its
power for saving human life, is only
excelled by Jenner's great discovery
and as time goes on it will stand ir
the same class as that great boon tC
mankind.
"The army has stamped out this di
sease in its greatest stronghold-ther'
having been only five deaths in thu

fraud, corruption and bribery, and
whether or not any of the male inhab-
itants of any state, being twenty years
of age and citizen of the United
States, has been either impelled or
influenced to vote by reason of the use
of money or the practice of fraud,
intimidation or threats of any nature
or character; also to inquire into the
validity of the election laws of any
state which provides that the name of
a candidate shall appear but one time
on the ticket and prohibiting the
candidate from accepting nomination
for Office from more than one party"

NEW RULE MAY 1st
On that Date Cuba Will Govern Her
self


Washington, March %. General
wool, military governor of Cuba, ar
rlVed here today and is the guest of
President Roosevelt. The main object
OF his visit to Washington at this
time is to arrange with the president
and the secretary of war for the trans
Ter of the active control of affairs in
Cuba to the Cuban republic. Soon
afterIhis arrival, General Wood weatto
thetwar department and had long talk
with Secretary Root regarding the con
dition of affairs in Cuba. Subsequent
ly the two officials went to the White
president.
The principal arrangements for the
military evacuation of the island will
be made quickly. General Woods
plans require that he shall leave here
not later than next Tuesday night on
his way back to Havana to carry into
execution the program fixed by the ad-
ministration for the formal transfer of
Cuba by way OF New York in order
that he may meet and consult fully
with President-elect Palma upon the
joint program Of action.
President Palma will be inaugurated
May / and American control in the
island will terminate on that date.
Owing to the short time intervening
and the extent and Importance Of the
work involved, it will be necessary to
act promptly.
Governor Wood holds that the con-
templated reduction Of 20 per cent in
the Cuban tariff is not sufficient.
1.-THE island is ready now to be turn
ed over to the Cubans," said he to
reporter. ~ probably will remain in
Cuba few weeks after the change in
governments, and We will probably
keep few troops on the island for a
time after the change. 1t seems to be
the wish of the Cubans that we do
that"
General Wood says that, unless a
greater reduction in the Cuban tariff
on sugar than 20 per cent is made,
crisis may soon be reached in the
islands affairs. The people are de-
pending upon the United States giving
them market for their sugar and to
bacco and they have every reason to
expect that this government will give
them the relief.
SIT is absolutely necessary to the
welfare of the island that the tariff on
sugar be reduced Aot less than 33 1-3
per cent. We may as we'll make up
our minds to that, if the island is to
prosper, and we are responsible for
the future of the island and its pros.
perity.
''I do not believe a reduction of 80
per cent on Cuban sugar and tobacco
would be detrimental to!anyone in the
United States"

FINE FOR THE WHEAT
Good Rains Began Falling in Kansas
Yesterday

Hutchinson, Kansas, March 20.-A
fine rain fell here this afternoon and
the prospects are for an all-night
down pour. The rain means much for
this part of the country as the wheat
is just at the point where moisture is
badly needed. Reports received here
from further west, show that the rain
is general over the wheat belt. At
Garden City it rained all day, and
Pratt reports the biggest rain of the
year. 1t has been found that the
wheat is not so badly damaged as was
thought few weeks ago, and much of
it promises we'll now.

rain today and present prospects are
that the county will raise three-fourths
as much wheat as last year. The

Larned Kansas, March 20.-Rain
began falling here at noon today and
has continued throughout the after
noon. 1t is estimated that at least an
inch of water has fallen, and farmers
from the country say the fall has been
general over the county.
Dodge City, Kansas, March 90
The protracted dry spell which has
threatened the destruction of the wheat
and delayed spring work, was broken
this morning by warm rain, which
last ed all day. The ground is thor
oughly soaked, wheat is saved to the
farmers and early pasture is insured
to the stockmen.
Ottawa, Kansas, March 20.-Rain
