INFANT IN A VALlSE
Passenger on Train Had Evidently
Tried to Throw Child Into River.

DE SOTO Mo-. Aug. 16.-William
Helm, farmer living near Irondale
Mo-. found valise alongside the Iron
Mountain tracks late yesterday after
noon. He started to carry the valise
to the station. when he was startled by
the crying OF a baby. Being unable TO
open the grip. which was locked, he cut
1t open with knife and found a boy
baby inside. about FIVE days old.
The grip and babe had evidently been
thrown off train No. 4, which passed
that point at j:20 p. IN. It had lodged
in treetop and from thence fallen to
the ground, where Helm found it. The
child was but little injured
The railroad crosses a big river at

COMMANDER M'CRBA'S
HAITIAN ROW REPORT
Situation on July 81 De-
scribed at Length by Letter.
No Important American Interests Ex-
isting at Scsne of Revolu-
tionary Disturbances.

The Navy Department received today a
letter from Commander McCrea. of the
Machias. at Cape Baytien. telling of the
revolutionary outbreak in Haiti and
describing the situation there as late as
July 81. Commander McCrea says that
there are no important American inter-
ests existing at Cape Baytien. He says:
The arrival OF the ship was consid-
cred very opportune. as an attack by
land and sea was considered imminent.
Z called on the provisional governor.
Gen. Nord Alexis. who is also secretary
of war in the provisional cabinet. He
told ne he was too much engaged as
governor, and practically in the field. to
return my visit at once. He also de-
clared he did not consider foreign inter
ests menaced, also that there must be an
end to this movement very soon. told
the consul to communicate TO the for
eign cousuls that | would object to any
bombardment by the rebel ships without
due notice. There are no important
American interests existing at this
place, and business is at a standstill
Most of the business houses have sealed
their doors and rendezvous have been
assigned all foreigners at the consul
ates. or in the adjacent houses, over
which flags have been hoisted.
ION the 31st / called again ON the
governor. He told me he had received
a large consignment of arms and amuni-
ton, and would Immediately advance
against the enemy. To my question:
DO you NOW OF any antagonism against
the fOrpfo n cOuSuls or merchants hy the
lower RI sses of citizens?' he replied.
No; / Go not think it exists
We -hHI entered into an arrangement
by which he was TO inform me by
signal of his retreat, in which case
l agreed to land and protect embarka-
tion of foreigners in case / considered
1t necessary. He reiterated the state
ment that a man OF war in the harbor
now was most welcome and necessarF,
as 1t prevented bombardment, and pre-
served the peace of the city,"

SIDELIGHTS ON LIFE
OF SENATOR MCMILLAN
CUBANS LOOK FOR
INCREASE IN CUSTOMS
Duty, However, May Defeat, Its Own
Purpose by Encouraging
Adulteration.

HAVANA, Aug 16.-The increase in
customs as raised by the senate will.
it is believed, produce 5000, 900. Ac-
cordiag to the Discussion" the re-
ceipts from -four in 1901 were s502. .202.
By adding 50 per cent to this duty there
will be an increase of s3Ol .1Ol in the re-
ceipts.
The increased duty on wines will, 1t is
believed. yield an additional revenue Of
H.013. soc. 1t is not likely, however,
that this will actually be collected. as
the increased duty viii tend to en:our-
age the making OF adulteratsd wines in
Havana.
The "Rt concentrate" newspaper
suppressed by General ludlow during
the Intervention period, appeared on tLe
street tonight. all military orders
against the publication OF the paper
having been revoked.
The senate showed much hesitation in
this matter. 1t is claimed THAI some
members feared the paper.

Colored Man Who Drank
From Cusher in Gem
etery Taken Ill.
HIS CONDITION is SERIOUS
Stomach Pumps Fail to Bring Expected
Relief = Health Department Will
Analyze the Spring Was
Only Recently Discovered.

The Health Department will make an
investigation of the water from a spring
in Old Graceland Cemetery. near Fif-
teenth and H Streets northeast, as the
result Of the poisoning Of Alexander ,Du
laney. colored, an employe OF the Co
lumbia Street Railway Company.
Dulaney took drink of the clear,
sparkling spring water yesterday morn
ing and short time afterward was vio-
lently Ill. Cramps attacked him until
ne was in agony, and he was taken TO
Casualty Hospital He is still at the
hospital. his condition serious, but last
night was reported resting quietly.
Other than the cramps the physicians
can detect no symptoms of poisoning
yet they are convinced that is the cause
of the man s suffering.
Spring Is New One.
The spring is newly discovered. It's
flow is strong one. and its origin be-
lieved to be somewhere among the old
graves. There have been no brrials in
the vicinity for number Of years, and
apparently no cause exists for contauni-
nation OF the water.
About O'Clock yesterday morning
Dulaney, who works at the car barn
opposite the old brrying grounds. went
to the spring and drank quantity OF
the water. As soon as he started to re-
turn to the car shed he was taken vio-
lently ILL., He doubled up Ike jack
knife, and began 20 yell. He had been
taken with cramps. brought on by
drinking the water.
Take. to Hospital.
Workmen who heard his screams went
to his assistance, and he was removed
to the Casualty Hospital by Patrol
Driver Goheen He was in an uncon-
scious condition when the institution,
was reached. The doctors attempted TO
straiGhten him out. but the man held
his hands tightly over the abdominal
region, and they could not be pulled
away. Ii was finally decided to put
he stomach pumps into operation
When the man had partially recoy-
cred. Re stated that he did not feel
,reatly relieved. The doctors questioned
lim as to the cause OF his Illness. and
le stated that II must have been the
water. as he had eaten nothing that
would have poisoned him.
The doctors believe the water which
he man drank may have been running
lnder the surface CT the earth for some
iue. and in some way come in contact
With the bones OF the dead bodies. which
we're buried In the cemetery shortly be-
ore it was abandoned as burying

NO DAMAGE TO CROP
FROM 4 CAR FAMINE
Mr.. J. J.. Hill Enthusiastic
Over the Outlook.
Wheat in Washington State Averaging
Sixty Bushels to the Acre-A
Splendid Prospect.

ST. PAUL, Aug 16-"I have come
through the finest crop district 1 have
ever seen" said Mr.. j. J. Hill. presi-
dent of the Great Northern road. upon
his arrival here. THE crops in Wash
ingtcn, Idaho, Montana, and North Da-
kota are simply immense. However.
when l reached Minnesota it made me
sick The fields are nlled with weeds.
and the acreage will be small. In
North Dakota last .,ire.ht l saw some
wheat that will go thirty-fve bushels
per acre. 1t was magnificent.
ION the whole. the general yield per
acre will be above the average. In
Washington raw the finest crops ever
harvested. Wheat there will go sixtT
bushels per acre. This means that the
farmers have shown great intelligence
iE tho industry l should say that the
Dakotas and Minnesota will raise about
$50 ,00C, 900 bushels of wheat this year.
bu. nobody can tell what the oats and
fax yield will be. but 1t will be huge"
No Car Famine.
Concerning probable car famine, M.
Hill said:
I'VE on the Great Northern have zoos
cars more ihac we had year ago. AMI
an informed the Northern Bccific has
a bout the sams number additional cars.
and l do not believe We will have any
difficulty in handling, the grain traffic.

Fines in Installments.

ANDERSON, Ind. Aug. 16.-'I have nc
money with which to buy eorsets and
false hips, like some of you women, y

grounds Friday.
She made the remark after stating
chat she was paying off her Kansas fines

sons were present to hear her. She
made her usual TRADE against saloons,
called President Roosevelt "a beer-swig-
ging Dutchman," and scored the horse
owners who were jogging their animals
on the track while she was speaking.
She was followed by DR.. Fl. C. Bowles,
who declared that the editors of the
local newspapers were Hell hounds and
lying devils saying they had connived
and planned to have him robbed, mur-
dered and dragged through the streets.
