DEADLIEsT WAR ENGINE.
Rumors About a Wireless, CrewIess
Submarine Internal Machine.


From the London Express.
A rumor is current that the British
government is on the eve of complet-
irg the purchase Of submarine tor
pedo which will prove the deadliest en-
CINE of war ever invented.
There are several types of submarine
boat familiar to naval construction.
We have the craft designed to be
navigated by the agency of a crew. the
Whitehead automobile torpedo. which
contains no human crew, but is fitted
up with a mechanical contrivance efor
motive and steering power, and other
mechanically controlled automobile de-
stroyers of the Brennan and Sims
Edison patterns.
Some of these craft. once started. are
no longer under The influence of the
person who discharges them, and are
lost. Others, steered by wires, can be
recovered with ease, and will do the
work Of submergible boat
But the dangers of a wire-steered
torpedo are many. II has only a linn
tied field of operation, and its wires
frequently entangle and snap.
This new torpedo, however, can be
piloted from a base by means of a
wireless electrical impulse sent through
the water to a receiver, fixed up in the
torpedo. and attuned to the pitch Of
that OF the transmitter.
No electrical influence can interfere
with the impulse generated, and. oro-
vided that there is sufficient motor
power in the torpedo, the unseen foe
can follow a ship like a shark, and
can be made TO strike 1t and explode
at any moment.
Control is so perfect that steering
and maneuvering can be accomplished
by simply pressing a button.
The new vessel has many marked
advantages over the submarine boat.
The utmost speed of a submarine is
three knots an hour. If she exploded
a ship at anchor she could not get
away in time to avoid her own de-
struction.
We learn that the new invention
contains nothing but her engine pow
er chamber, steering gear, and explo-
sive head
She is very small, and built for great
speed. In running she maintains an
average depth OF 10 feet. the striking
distance In submarine warfare.

MAKING LAWS FOR CUBA.
Orders of Military Government Hold
Good as Law.

orders of Military Government Hold
Good as Law.
Havana, April 16.-Gov. Gen. Wood
has issued an order providing that
judges and prosecuting officers cannot
be dismissed from office except for
crime or for other serious cause, and
never without a hearing.
AS under the Plat amendment the
Cuban Republic must recognize all or
ders issued by the American military
government as law, this order of Gen.
Wood virtually means a life tenure of
office for the present judges and prose-
cutting attorneys.
A vigorous protest has already been
made against the number of orders be-
ing issued by the military government
in its closing days, which are charac-
terized as tying the hands of the re-
public, and it is believed that this o.
der especially will stir up bitter fee2-
ing. There is a general desire to raise
the standard of the courts, and leading
lawyers claim to have the promise of
President-elect Estrada Palma to look
into the allegations that certain men
are holding high judicial positions on
the strength of their revolutionary
records alone -

} Peruna that has given me such good
I health. '-E. j. Makinson.
As a result of the changeable cli-
mate, catarrh has become one of the
most prevalent and universal dis
eases known to man. Nearly one
third of the people of the United
States are afflicted with catarrh in
{some of it's many phases and stages,
Add to this fact that catarrh rap
} idly tends to became fixed or chronic,
also the further fact that 1t is capable
of producing a great many other dis
eases, and we begin to realize the true
nature Of this dread disease.
So formidable has catarrh become
that In any city or town of ay size
numerous doctors are TO be found who
make the treatment of oatarrh a spe-
cialty. OF course a great deal of good
is accomplished in this way, but as
'yet a comparatively small number of
the people can avail themselves of
this treatment because of the great
expense necessarily attached to it.
!. To all such people DR.. Hartman's
remedy, Peruna, comes as a great
boon. Not only is it more successful

members of the party were to be seen
anywhere and everywhere on the

and to ride about the city and others
will make the outside trips to-day.
Their railroad ticket will allow them to
stop over all of to-day.
