Havana, Nov. 24.-The police re
ports regarding the killed and injur
ed in today's riots are incomplete. 1t
is stated that the number of casual
ties may aggregate 40, the larger
number being wounded. The ruraI
guard was called out this afternoon
and will endeavor to suppress further
disorder.
Minister Squiers and General Bliss
visited the strike scenes this after
noon in an automobile.
The strike became general here to
day. The conductors and motormen
continued running their cars until 1(
o'clock, when Superintendent Green
wood ordered a suspension of traffic
He has asked the civil government
for perfection, but the authorities
were unable to protect the cars.
Several were wrecked and some
motormen and conductors were in
jured. The men were willing to re
main at work, but the officials of the
company in order to protect the prop
erty deemed it wise to suspend the
service.
The situation is grave. The police
will not make arrests owing to the
pronounced sympathy of the mayor
and other city officials with the
strikers.

MOUNT MCKINLEY, ALASKA.
Report Of a Visit by United States
Geological Survey Party.

Mount Mckinley, the highest noun
tain on the North American continent,
was visited last season by Alfred H.
Brooks and his party from the United
States Geological Survey. of which
Mr.. D. L. Reaburn was topographer.
AS far as is known, this is the first
time the slopes of the peak have been
reached by white men, though in 1898
its altitudesand moisture were deter
mined from distance by Robert Null
drow Of the same survey.
The mountain is located near the
western margin of the Alaskan range,
the general name given to the large
mountain mass which separates the
Yukon and Kuskokwim waters from
Cook Inlet drainage. 1t is a great
dome-shaped mountain, formed of in
trusive rock. towering to an elevation
of over 10000 feet above sea level.
Though its summit reaches SO high an
altitude, almost four miles above tide,
it probably is not as difficult of ascent
as some other Alaskan mountains, for
example, Mount st. Elias, because of
of its relatively high snow line. AS the
season was well advanced, much of
his itinerary had to still be carried
out, and as it was no part Of the orig
inal plan, Mr.. Brooks did not attempt
to pass the snow line, though this
point was reached. Now that the
location and height of this mountain
have been established by the explora-
ton of the Geological Survey, travel
ers and individual explorers will doubt
less soon attempt to reach the summit.
In anticipation of these attempts. Mr..
Brooks is preparing a description of
the country, giving routes by which
the mountain may be reached and
other information valuable to those
interested in its ascent. His paper
will appear in one of the leading
geographic magazines. The more
elaborate and extended report of
the exploration will be published
by the Geological Survey at an early
date

POe'S Last Recitation
in City Of Richmond

II became acquainted with Mr.. Poe
during his last visit to Richmond, in
1S49, at Duncan Lodge, the home Of
our mutual friend, Mrs. Jane Macken-
zie, and of Poe's sister, Rosalie," says
DR.. John F. Carter, in a paper in Lip
pincott's Magazine for November, on
the American poets last night in Rich
mond.
1T was at Mrs Mackenzie's that
first heard Poe recite, at her request,
The Raven and 'Annabel Lee only

unusually lively mood he lapsed at
once into a manner, expression and
tone Of voice Of gloomy and almost
weird solemnity, gazing as II on some
thing invisible to others. and never
changing his position until the recita-
ton was concluded. 1t happened that
he had just before requested of Mrs.
Mackenzie the loan Of sum of money
which request she was for the time
unable to comply with, and she now
said to him, Edgar, what do you think
Of giving a public recital of those
poems? It would probably prove a
financial success The result was

peared in the city papers a notice that
on certain evening the poet would

Brave Indians Hold
Their Island Home


The island Of Tiburon, in the Gulf
Of California, Is inhabited by Indians,
who have resisted for centuries the
efforts OF white men to land upon
their soil. 1t is hard to approach in
boats, and, though the Indians have
had no modern weapons. they have
kept their foes at bay and no one
knows much about them, except that
they make raids at times across q sew
enty mile stretch of desert on the
mainland. and after securing meat for
food return to their homes. The
smithsonian experts declare them to
he the finest specimens of physical
humanity in the world, and even the
mounted cattle herders cannot catch
them as they run across the desert
wastes.
Recently band of Americans with
regulations for deadly shooting equip
ped themselves with Winchester
rifles, Gatlings and other munitions of

launch and landed with the avowed
purpose of wholly exterminating the
Inhabitants and having the gold,

His cratitude Took shape.

There is policeman in Washington
who is the proud possessor of thirty
tons of coal. The way he came into
his fortune is peculiar, to say the
least. Some time ago he found a
man on the streets who did not know
where he was, owing to an especially
heavy burden of alcohol. The police
man took him in charge, but instead
Of conveying him to the station house,
he took him to his hotel, and later,
called upon him there and gave him
a carload of good advice. After this
he forgot all about it. but the man
was a coal baron, and to prove that
they are human, we have the fact that
when he got home he shipped the
policeman a carload Of coal. 1t is just
as solid as the carload of advice
which he himself received, and 1t
can be passed on at a much greater
financial advantage.-Chicago Jour

the others he will shove down into his

Colorado Celery for the East.

SSsSssSS SSsSsy wi ehS eooe
Colorado celery is this year for the
first time being shipped East. From
an Insignificant business of a few
years ago it has developed to an enor-
nous industry. Three years ago such
thing as shipping celery to the
eastern markets was unheard Of But
few enterprising spirits decided to
make the experiment and were amply
rewarded for their efforts. The re-
turns were SO large that the next year
they shipped nearly their entire crop
East. Since then the business has
developed rapidly, and this year will
be the banner season of them all.
Nearly twenty-five cars have been
shipped. and conservative estimate
for the season would be that not less
than forty cars will be shipped alto
gether. AS each carload will easily
average $4,000 pounds in weight, 1t
means that fully 100000 pounds of
celery will be used for export trade
alone.

WHERE TROUT ARE SAFE.

From Enemies.

From Enemies.
A little boy stood in front of the
brook trout exhibit at an aquarium re.
Gently. peering intently at the speckled
beauties. He turned to the fish ex-
pert who stood near him and said:
1T seems a pity to keep the beautiful
fish In these tanks. They would have
SO much more fun In brook"
They are much safer here" said
the wise man: especially these brook
trout. Do you know that not more
than one in every thousand OF the
brook trout created lives to be more
than a mere baby? Why, the little
trout no sooner takes his first peep
out from the gravel where he has
been gaining strength for the battle
OF life than all :c-ts of monsters at
tack him. Frogs. weasels, chubs.
lizards, water snakes, herrings and
minnows go for the little follow, and
when he has escaped these he has
the larger trout to fight or run away
from. To escape all these he has to
remain in shallow water near the
banks for long time. and when the
little beauty has learned all the tricks
to save his life and has become
the one in thousand to escape the
baby dangers. the fisherman comes
along and tempts him with fly and
gets him. Now, isn't the trout In the
glass case better off?"
The boy thought It was.
