Stores, Villages and Towns
LOOTED IN BROAD OPEN DAYLIGHT.
Dismirsal of Spanish Employees
Ordered by President Palma.

Havana, Sept. 8. - Bandits are
overrunning the entire island, defy
ing the government rural guard, kid
naping and holding planters and
country merchants or their sons for
ransom and robbing travellers. In
some cases they force money from
victims by threatening the torch.
In broad daylight, dressed in the
uniform of rural guards, they make
a practice of looting stores In towns
and villages, even removing safes in
OK wagons under the very noses of
the municipal police authorities.
General Rodriguez, chief of the
militia-polIce, which General Wood
had organized and mounted, claims
that the men at his disposal are
wholly inadequate to the demands.
In the Manzanillo. Bayamo district
and other sections the bandits count
upon the support and protection of
people prominently. connected with
the late revolution, or of men OF po-
Iltical influence in Havana. Z

Palma for an appropriation to justi-

sPANIARDs ORDERED FIRED.
Havana, Sept. 9.-President Palma
has ordered all persons who fought
in the Spanish army against Cuban
independence dismissed from the
government service. This is the re-
suit of the agitation started by the
Cuban soldiers. Some time ago the
veterans association appointed a
committee to wait upon the presi-
dent and ask for the removal of the
Spanish office holders. The COM
mittee pointed out to the president
that the veterans were without en-
ployment and almost on the point of
starvation, while the men against
whom they had fought on the field Of
battle were enjoying good salaries
from the government, the establish
ment of which they had tried to pre-
vent. President Palma promised to
investigate the matter, and the
heads Of the different departments
were requested to furnish list of
persons who had served in the Span
ish army who are now on the govern
ment pay rolls. The inquiry has
just .been completed, and report
submitted to the president, who d.
rected that the Spaniards and Cubans
who fought in the Spanish army be
dismissed and their places filed by
former insurgent soldiers.

The SprinkIing on of Water Stated
BY Him, to Be
MERELY RESULT OF SUPERSTITION
Baptism, He Declares, Never Saved
a Soul.

New York, Sept. 9.-Rev. DR.. r. S.
Macarthur, at the one hundredth
meeting of the "Evangel" tent today,
assailed the doctrine of baptism. He
declared that the dropping of water
on an infant at birth was heathenish
and the idea that God would forever
condemn an innocent but unbaptised
babe makes HIM tyrant, monster
and demon.
That utterance, coming from DR..
Macarthur, bad wonderful effect
on his hearers. They arose to their
feet and applauded wildly. The
scene was striking.
Baptism" be declared, "never
saved a human soul. The doctrine
of baptismal regeneration is both un-
reasonable and unscriptural. The
superstitions that have gathered
about infant baptism form one of the
saddest chapters In church history.
Thousands through all the ages have
believed that child dying without
being baptised was eternally lost.
This dark and dreary superstition
has cast a gloom over the history of
the church for centuries.
"This doctrine is his atheism, pure
and simple. The idea that God
would forever condemn an Innocent
babe because someone had not put a
few drops of water on its head and
face makes God tyrant, monster
land demon. Rather than believe
IN such God would rather be an
avowed intidel.
"This doctrine of baptismaI regen.
Grafton makes the minister of re.
hgiona a worker of magic, faker, q
performer of ecclesiastical miracles
. Such teaching is violation of al
sound reason and true scriptur,

Some Things Which Pine

Citizens Light and Transit company

OF the fact that the tracks of the
street railway are so high above the
street level that vehicles in trying
to climb over them are disabled and
broken at times. This occurred in
front Of the opera house Sunday night.
Some places on Second avenue are al
most impossible to get over with a
vehicle without danger of an acct
dent Another bad place is on Main
street, between Sixth and Tenth ave
nues. In making the grade for the
railway, the street level was lowered,
and high entertainments left on either
side Of the street, and the embank-
ments were not finished in a way to
prevent washing and caving, cover

street railway should be required to
put it's tracks down on level with
the surface of the street, and to re-
pair the entertainments on Main SO as
to prevent such condition as exists.
Whether it is the duty Of the street
railway to make the protection to
the entertainments or not the Graphic

of the Stokes case by the supreme
court, the Graphic was in error be-
cause it had an erroneous idea as
to the cause Of the reversal. The court
did not reverse the case because Judge
Grace was absent from the courtroom
at the time one of the attorneys used
Objectionable language in his speech
to the jury, but because the attorney
used the language which the law pro-
hibits. The supreme court gave as an
additional ground for reversal that
of Judge Grace's absence. which con-

tween the two rooms, and the judge
was within hearing of the lawyer who
was arguing the case. heard all that
was said, and Immediately called the
lawyer down and instructed the jury
to take no cognizance Of what the
lawyer had said. 1t is doubtful if
there is a circuit judge on the bench
in Arkansas who has not for few
moments left the bench to go to his
private office adjoining while a case

time it was ever made an issue for
reversal. The Graphic makes the
correction as it has no desire to place
Judge Grace or anybody else in a
