CUBA'S CATTLE INDUSTRY.
PRESIDENTIAL Message Making Recom-
mendations to Conpress

The Department of Agriculture has re-
ceived through the Department of State a
copy OF a presidential message to the Cu-
Dan congress regarding certain changes I'm
the present duties on live stock. either for
breeding purposes or for slaughter, as well
as on barbed wire, the latter reduction to be
for period Of one year. The message sets
forth that of the 100000 caballerias "a
cabalieria containing 33 i-3 acres of land
composing the island, Jooooo are at present
uncutivated and produce nothing. They
are adapted, however, TO the raising OF
cattle, and on them at least 100000 head
could be well cared for. at the rate of eight
per caballeria. The annual consumption
Is about 100000 head aside from the S20oO,-
900, approximate value of jerked beef con-
sumed and si.Joo0oo worth of hides and
products.
The executive is of opinion that the proper
thing TO do is to amend the present GUS
toms tariffs as a means of stimulating
private initiative in this matter He rec
ommends that the following classes be ad-
mitted free of tariff duties:
Cows fit for breeding and heifers; cows
with their young on foot and bulls of the
Jersey, Guernsey, Devon, Durham. Here
fords. Porto Rico and Argentine Republic
breeds. provided the imported duly ac-
credits their origin, states at the time of
importation the ranch or farm to which
they are destined and guarantees that they
will remain in the farm stated for the
period of one year, under the penalty of
payment of duties.
Barbed wire and staples used in the con-
struction of fences, he says should be
exempted from the payment of duties for
the period of one year.

How Fake Fight Story Started.

A special from San Francisco says that
1t seems that fortune telling by cards is the
real source OF the charge Of fake made
against Fitzsimmons in his recent fight with
Jeffries. lady living In a fashionable
hotel was the cause Of 1t all. She was a
guest at Harlan Springs for a few days.
while Jeffries was training there. One even
ing after the champion had concluded his
daily exercise and was waiting for bed time
this lady proposed that she tell his fortune
by cards The big fighter shuffled the cards,
cut them into three piles with his left hand.
and deposited each pile away from him for
luck. Then the lady took the cards and
laid them on the table in mysterious order.
She told him he would get his wish by WIN
ming the fight Then a card. that, according
to the fortune-telling system portended
luck, came out, and Immediately after it
came the eight spot.
You will win in the eighth round" the
amateur fortune teller declared. Then the
popular belief about the training camp that
the champion would win a victory in the
eighth round.
A few days before the fight this lady met
the sporting editor of the Examiner, whom
she had met in the east, and knew we'll.
and told him she had been at Harbin
Springs, and that while she was there she
had learned that Jeffries was to win In the
eighth round. She told him plainly the
source of her Information. so that the story
that this report came from any compact
between the fighters was pure invention.

they turned down an offer from their old
manager. Frank Selee, now of the Chicago
Nationals. to join that league at their own
terms. When Selee found that these men
would stick to their contracts for next sea-
son, and that money could not tempt them
to break it, he tried to secure first option
on their services in case they ever wanted
to Join the National This availed little as
Collins and Stahl are confident of the con-
tinued success of the American League in
Boston, and are content to remain.
Yesterdays game demonstrated that what
the Orioles need and must have is a couple
of good pitchers. At present there are only
Shields and Wfltse to be relied on, and it
is impossible for them to do all the work.
Shields has been worked to death of late
and cannot stand the pace much longer He
is a willing, obliging, enthusiastic young
ster, who is liable to try to get into the
game oftener than is good for him. The
danger is that he will pitch himself out
and that the team will be in a bad way for
box artists.
Tony Mullane could write an entertaining
story on the crime of '92. He was receiving
something like 81 900 year from Cincin-
natl. when in the middle of the season of
'92 he was cut to 81 500. He kicked. but
what was the use? The National League
magnates had entered into conspiracy to
compel the players to pay for the cost of
the asinine indianapolis amalgamation Null
lane would not work for the salary offered.
and as he could get employment with no
club a party to the National agreement. he
had to finish out the season with the team
at Rutland or some other out-of-the-way
town. Nearly 100 players had their salaries
cut from 30 to GO per cent right in the
middle of the season, and they had no
chance to protect themselves What's more.
when this outrage was perpetrated the
present equitable National League con-
tract was in force. And it is the same old
National League.
President Johnson says: Pitcher Miller
has been blacklisted by the American
League. The circumstances surrounding
his desertion of the Detroit club would JUS
tify placing him in class with Devlin and
Hall. The tolerance of such players would
be a menace to life and good reputa of
base ball. McGraw, McGinnity, Bresnahan,
Cronin, Seymour and Wolverton are under
suspension. pending action by the American
League"
The Senators left for the west last

territory, returning home August IL for the
opening game with st. Louis. Tomorrow
the Senators open their western trip at

Charles Dexter. the clever little catcher

CHESAPEAKE JUNCTION.
Effort to Break Up Gambling
There.

William l.. Herret OF this city was ar
raigned before Justice of the Peace Bailey
of Bladensburg yesterday on the charge
of conducting q gambling business at
Chesapeake Junction. He was held for a
hearing August under $50 bond.
The arrest was made by Constable R, H.
Vincent of Hyattsville. 1t is stated the
constable looked on while Herret inter-
ested a crowd of men in game of chance.
At the conclusion of the game the spec
tators and participants left the place, and
Herret was taken into custody.
The Hyattsvilie authorities secured war
rants for the arrest of three men who, 1t
is alleged, conducted gambling games at
the junction, but the others fed across
the line into the District as soon as they
learned that warrants had been issued.
One of the officers called at the local po-
lice headquarters yesterday and asked as
sistance in the apprehension of the par
ties, but was given little announcement,
as the local authorities have no jurisdic-
tion whatever in the cases, and District
officers cannot arrest the alleged fugitives
on warrants issued in Maryland. The onfy
course open to the Maryland authorities
is for them to secure requisition papers,
but that action, 1t is said. is not probable
as the cases are considered of small ac-
count.

LLoRENTE OPPOSED.
People of Samar Wanted Guevarra for
Governor.

A Manila paper published June 10 has
quite a long account from Catbalogan,
Samar, indicating that the people of that
island threatened trouble because General
Guevarra was not made governor. 1t is
stated that Samar is keeping up its reputa-
tion as the storm center of the archipelag go.

spirit of its people shows itself. Even the
prospect of civil government could not pre-
vent a display Of opposition and a vigor-

Samar's choice was Guevarre. successor
to Lukban and the late leader of the In
surrectionary forces in that island, and
the stranger from Cebu. even though
fathered by the civil commission, received
scant courtesy. Disorder was prophesied
should the peoples wishes be ignored. Cow

MAcHIAs WILL GIVE PROTECTION
Navy Department Receives Avices
From Commander McCrea.

The following cablegram was received at
the Navy Department from Commander
McCrea of the Machias, dated Cape Hay
tien yesterday:
affairs are very disturbed at Cape Hay
tien. Unorganized mob In the city. For
eign consuls have been threatened. VIII
give protection on board. 1 will prevent
bombardment without due notice"
The State Department has no hesitation
in fully approving the energetic and suffi-
cient action of Commander McCrea in TAX
ing care of the foreign consuls and in pre-
venting a bombardment without warning.
The American and foreign interests in Cape
Haytien are large, and an American cap
tain is required by the unwritten law to
look after the life and property of other
foreign residents as well as American in
such cases. 1t is said that the rules of
international law, as well as the dictates
Of humanity require that proper notice be
given before bombardment, in order that
women, children and non-combatants may
leave the town and carry on their personal
belongings.
The Navy Department feels that the Ma
chias is sufficiently large for the work at
hand at this point. though IL there were
more such small American gunboats in the
gulf and Caribbean q quieting and restrain
ing influence would be exerted over these

Fined or Cruelty to Animals.

Judge Bundy this morning fined Thomas

Agent Haynes of the Humane Society loid
the court that yesterday afternoon he found
Vannetta with a cat in a cage at a place
on 7th street, and that he was punching
the feline with a small rod. Yannetta
claimed that the cage was a patent ma
chine for catching cats and small animals
and that 1t was operated by means of the
rod. He had the cage in court and demon-
strated how it was manipulated. Judge
Bundy, however. imposed the fine stating
as his reason that Il was cruel to keep a
cat Gagged up for any length of time.

OXYGEN FOR FISH FRY.
Ingenious Swiss Devise n Very
Clever Invention.

Lack of oxygen causes the death of
fish fry rapidly in transportation for
the purpose of planting in foreign wa
tiers, as fish commissioners often learn.
For a long time the device of constant
~ supplying fresh water by an attend
ant has been adopted, and sometimes,
SAYS n writer in the Brooklyn Eagle,
when the fish fry must be taken Il long
distance entirely new water must be
supplied to the tanks. Max Kern and
Alfred Wiget. residents of Switzerland,
have invented means of supplying the
necessary oxygen to the water by pass
ing into the water either air or the con-
stituent thereof which is necessary to
the maintenance of life.
Attached to the transport vessel that
contains the fish are two cylinders con-
tanning air or oxygen, which is COM
pressed in one cylinder until the pres
sure reaches the proper power. as shown
ON a gauge at the top. Before this air
or oxygen is introduced into the water
If is transferred to the other cylinder to
reduce its pressure, flowing from this
reservoir to pipe leading to the bot
tom of the water tank. The air bub-
bles slowly from the bottom of this
tank. from the perforations in the sec
ond pipe. and mingles with the water
