PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
He Recommends a Law Creating Rec
iprocity With Cuba.

Washington, June IA. = President
Roosevelt sent a special message to
congress, reiterating former recon-
mendations for q law creating reci-
prOcity with Cuba. No reference was
made to Gen. Woods appropriation Of
Cuban funds to circulate reciprocity
literature. After quoting extracts
from the previous message on the sub
ject, the president states that Thurs
day he received through the Ameri-
can minister to Cuba an earnest ap-
peal from President Palma for leg.
islative relief before it is too late and
(his) country financially ruined" He
says the reasons for Cuban reciprocity
outweigh those for reciprocity with
any other country, and are consistent
with the protective system under
which this country has thriven so mar.
velously."
He adds: ct is to our advantage
as a nation that the growing Cuban
market should be controlled by Ameri-
can producers. The events following
the war with Spain, and the prospec-
tive building Of the isthmian canal,
render it certain we must take in the
future q far greater interest than
hitherto in what happens throughout
the West Indies, Central America and
the adjacent coasts and waters"

Mt. Vernon electric road, which pro-

explained the law on the subject to
her and frequently requested her to

A great boom has sprung up in Bone
steel, to which point the Northwest
ern Line is building. Last fall there
were fifty settlers there To-day there
is town of 300. Ninety daysfrom now
there will be $1,000 Five real estate
offices have opened, and town lots
are selling at from $500 to $500 each.
The Reservation will probably be
opened by lottery plan, such as was
made use of in Oklahoma. Fifty thou
sand people are expected to take part
in the drawing for the land.
To enter a homestead of $50 acres
one must be the head Of a family OF
have attained the ago of twenty-onO
years; a citizen OF the United States
or one who has filed his declaration tc
become such. To establish a title to
the land, residence must be maintained
thereon, improving and cultivating the
land continuously for five years.
With the completion of the North
Western Line from Verdigre to the
Reservation boundary at Bonesteel,
there will, without doubt, be tremen-
deus influx of hOmesteaders as soon as
the Presidents proclamation sets
date for the opening. Interest in the
matter in Nebraska is intense.

AHALP MILLION ACRES OF RICH LANDS
TO BE THROWN OPEN.
FINEST GRAZING AND FARMING LANDS
DIRECT RAILROAD NOW BUILDING.

The new extension now being built
by the Northwestern Line to Bone
steel, S. D., brings to mind the treaty
recently made with the chiefs of the
warlike Sioux by which part of the
famous Rosebud Reservation is to be
turned over to the government and
one more of the few choice tracts of
public lands now remaining, be thus
opened to settlement.
The land in question lies between the
Missouri and Niobrara rivers and is
we'll watered and fertile. Farm lands
near the Reservation are selling at
from $40 to $35 an acre, grazing lands
at from Sc to SIS.
The country is level or slightly roll
ing, consisting of black loan with clay
subsoil, making the very best of farm
ing land. 1t seems to suffer exception
ally little from drought.

BRINGING IN MEN.
Carload Of Men Fer the Pennsylvania
Anthracite Regions.

Reading, Pa, June 14.-Another car
load Of workmen went through here
for the coal regions. Thus far it IS
said the Philadelphia & Reading Co.
has secured more than 1000 men.
mostly firemen. engineers and pump
men. 1t was stated w an official that
there is not colliery in the Reading
company's territory where the pumps
are not being manned, where desired.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 1.-THE
work of the strikers in attempting to
bring out all men who are still in the
employ Of coal companies goes stead
lily on. Their campaign against the
engineers, firemen and pumpmen is
nearly over, most of those men being
out, and the union is now paying more
attention to the fire bosses, clerks and
others who have taken the places of
those who quit work. Pressure is be-
ing brought to bear on them in every
possible way. Quite number of the
fire bosses throughout the region have
already stopped work because they
had been asked to take the strikers
places, and at a meeting held here
Friday afternoon about a dozen more
consented to join the strikers. The
labor leaders hope to have more out
by Monday. The company officials are
aware of the attack on the fire bosses
and they are making effort to hold
them.
The miners union is now planning
to expel from the organization all en-
gineers, firemen and pumpmen who
have not yet obeyed the strike order.
They have been given until Saturday
night to join the strikers, and If they
do not quit they will be expelled and
their names published throughout the
region as unfair" workmen.
The miners leaders as a rule will
not talk on the matter of boycotting,
but the rank and file of the strikers
openly admit that they try to boycott
all men whom they look upon as being
unfair workers.
Nothing developed here which in
any way changed the situation. Presi-
dent Mitchell had nothing to give out
regarding the West Virginia situa-
ton.
Washington, June 1.-THE presi-
dent, it is stated on good authority,
proposes to apply directly or indirect
ly to congress for legislation which
will enable him to meet the coal strike
situation. It is understood that the
president and his advisors argue that
there is no law which would meet the
case and settle the issues satisfactor-

CHOLERA
Alarming Situation in the Philip
pine Islands Reported.
In Manila Alone a Total Of 277 Cases
With 215 Deaths Had Occurred
Up to April 10, the Date Of
the Report.

Washington, June IA rather
alarming situation with regard to the
epidemic of cholera in the Philippines
Is set out in a report received by Sur.
geon General Forwood from Lieut. Col.
Heiseman, at present in charge of the
medical department of the army in
the islands. The appearance of the
disease at Manila, in March, is attrib-
uted in some quarters to vegetables
coming into the islands from affected
Chinese ports. and in others to the
drinking of Pasig river water, foul with
the sewage of the city. Lieut.. Col.
Heiseman says that the number Of
different points attacked by the cpl
demic and the consequent infection of
many streams which are universally
used for drinking and bathing and into
which all foul material and garbage
find their way, makes probable large
number of deaths before the rains,
which ended the two great epidemics
in the eighties, occur. The army, he
says, is much better protected than
the native population or than civilian
Americans in the islands, because Of
the care which is exercised in supply
ing good food and water.
In Mania alone a total of 277 cases
with 215 deaths had occurred up to
April 10, the date Of the report, with
453 cases and 308 deaths outside the
city. In the provinces the disease
attacked % different places. In the
Camarines, at Nueva Cacares, the dis
ease appeared, and this has been the
only point where the army has suf-
fered, two cavalrymen and an infant
ryman having the disease. The col
ored troops, the report says, natur-
ally mix much more NTH the natives
than the whites, drinking the water in
the shacks which they visit, and eat
ing native food, and they are thus
much more liable to contract cholera
The district known as the "Farola"
was the first one in Manila to be at
tackled. 1t is described by Col. Heise-
man as being Probably the most
wretchedly unsanitary place in the
city" and was the first and one Of
the heaviest sufferers in the great
cholera epidemic of 1882.
Smallpox has also appeared and has
been more prevalent, it is stated, this
year than in any except the first, Of
American occupation. The wife Of
an army officer in Manila has been at
tackled by II.
Vigorous measures Of prevention
have been instituted to attempt to
check the spread of cholera. Manila
has been guaranteed against all 9TH
er points, distilled water has been
provided, house to house inspections
made, chloride of lime freely used, q
cholera hospital established, the foul
farola burned, and % army medical
officers have been detailed to duty
with the Manila board of health. Med
zeal officers of the army have been
given practical charge of health mat
tiers in or near towns where troops
are stationed.
The report on the health Of the army
in general shows a slight decrease
in the percentage of sick. The num-
Der of deaths has increased by six.
Out of a total of SO recent deaths,
dysentery has been the cause of 10.

two TRAINS COLLIDE.
Four Men Killed and Fifteen Hurt
Near Chattanooga, Tenn.
Both Engines Had Their Positions Re-
Versed and Were Thrown Forty
Feet From the Traek-Pas-
sengers Not Injured.

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 13.-Four
men were killed and about 10 injured,
two of them fatally, in d collision be-
tween fast mail No. from Nashville
and the Jasper accommodation train
on the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis railroad Thursday afternoon be-
teween Hooker and Summit, small sta
tons, about IL miles from this city.
Dead-Fireman L. A. Rankin, OF the
accommodation train, was horribly
mangled and died almost instantly
James Bernard, fireman Of the mail
train, was caught under the smaller
engine and literally burned to death.
A handful of cinders and charred flesh
was all that could be found of him.
Express Messenger Webb, of the fast
mail, was caught under the debris and
died shortly after having been re-
moved to a place of safety. George
Rollins. engineer of the accommoda-
ton train, legs crushed and large
holes made in his head and side.
None of the rest of the injured is
seriously hurt and the passengers es-
capped with a shaking up and few
bruises.
The two trains met on a curve and
the passengers of the mail train could
see from the car windows the APP
proach of the accommodation. They
supposed, however, that it would sim.
ply pass by them, as there is switch
at that point and not until the crash
occurred were they aware of their
danger. When the trains came togeth.
er, the accommodation being the light
er, was entirely telescoped, the engine
of the fast mail blowing its way
through the cars and splintering them
into kindling wood. Both engines had
their positions re.@rsed and were
thrown at least 40 feet from the
track.
The mail train was behind time, and
the wreck, it is said, was due to the
fact that one of the engineers over
looked his orders.
