SPAIN WANTS PAY FOR
BIG GUNS NOW IN CUBA
Asks Republic to Settle for Ordnance
Left in Fortresses.

Secretary Root yesterday received g
visit from Senor Ojeda. the Spanish min
lister. during the course of which the
minister submitted in behalf of his gov
ernment the proposition to sell to the
government Of Cuba a considerable
amount Of ordnance now in position N
the Cuban foTtresses.
BY the treaty OF peace movable ar'il-
Iery was TO remain in the possession of
Spain to be removed at the pleasure Of
that government. A large quantity OF
field artillery was so removed
The Spanish claim is that the guns
mounted in fortresses belong in the
category of movabIes. on the ground that
having been transported IN one piece
from Spain on shlpboard they cannot be
regarded as immOyables- When the Uni
ted States turned over the government
o. Cuba to its people il allowed all this
artillery to remain IN place. Now the
Spanish government wants to be paid

LEAPED FROM A THIRD
STORY WINDOW TO DEATH
Aged West ViTginian, Suffering From
Neuralgia, Takes HIS Life.

BALTIMORE. Jan. 30.-SamueI H.
Ewing. a retired merchant Of ST. George.
Tuckahoe county. ". Va. jumped out
Of a third story back window Of 80
West Fayette Street. between 2 ana 3
o'clock yesterday morning. sustaining a
broken peIvfs and other injuries from
which he died shortly afterward.
He was sixty-seven years old. a wild
over. and had been boarding at the
house about two months. No one was
awake in the house when he committed
the act About an hour later the people
next door were aroused by his groans
and called Mr. and Mrs Harry Mitchell,
who have charge of the house. The
police were summoned and Mr.. Ewing
was taken to the Maryland University
Hospital He died within a few min
Utos after reaching there.
The only motive advanced why Mr..
Ewing should have desired to end his
life was that he had suffered greatly
from neuralgia. Several times since he
had boarded with Mrs. Mitchell she says
the gas has been found turned on in his
room. and there have been other evi-
deuces of attempts at suicide. The only
effects left were an insurance policy and
q deed to a lot IN Baltimore Cemetery.
A note scrawled on the margin of d
newspaper read that what little the
writer left should be given to his niece,
Mrs VI. V Hart, Of Hartford county.

THE Old OWNING ROD
SubteIanean Water Courses Located
by Recent Ingenious Inventions.


by Recent Ingenious Inventions.
Science has at last outdone the III
vining-rod man, with his curious meth
DDS OF locating running water under the
earth by means Of wltchhazel wands.
Electricity is the agent by which science
has accomplished the defeat of the mys-
terious power generally accredited to
the diyining rod
Sensitive electrical appliances have
been invented by which not only the
water beneath the earth's surface is 10
Gated. but is volume and direction may
be determined These appliances are de
signed TO catch the delicate vibrations
caused by the subterranean running
streams. and to transmit these vIbra-
tions to the surface of the earth where
their intensity may be estimated
Officials Of the Geological Survey in
this city have been studying the new in
venfion. and are OF the opinion that it
will prove Of vast benefit and value to
the farmer and irrigator. Wells may be
driven with certainty of finding plen-
tifuI supply OF water and the losses
caused by dry sinks will be thus avoided.
Rods are driven into the earth where
there are indications that water should
be found. and through them the vibra-
tions are caught and transformed into
sound waves. by means Of the electrical
device. To verify she records Of the eIec-
tricaI Instruments. the yclume of sound
waves thus produced is compared with
the total Of miner vibrations from other
cases in areas Of the same size in which
Il is known no water exists
There is q prospect that oil may like
wise be located in a similar way. as the
ele1 ricaI instruments are sufficiently
sensitive TO catch the vibrations OF run
ming water at great depths.

Interesting Experiment in a Restaurant.

An advertising agent, representing a
prominent New York magazine, while
on a recent Western trip. was dining
one evening in q PiJJsbuTg restaurant
While waiting for his order he Rlanc-
ed over his newspaper and noticed the
advertisement OF q well-kuowu dyspepsia
preparation, StuarJ's Dyspepsia Tablets,
as he himself was a regular user Of the
tablets he began speculating as TO how

dining room we're also friends OF the
popular remedy for Indigestion.
he says y counted rweuty-ThTee

and was surprised to learn that nine
Of the tWenLy-Jhree made q practice Of
taking one or TWO of stuart s Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal.
One of them told me he had suffered so
much from stomach trouble that at one
time he had been obliged 10 quit the
road. but since using SJuaTJ's Dyspepsia
Tablets had been entirely free from in
digestion but be- continued their use, es-
pecially while travelling. on account OF
iTregularity IN meals. and because. like
all travelling men. he was often obliged
10 ear what he could get, and not al
ways what be wanted
Another, who looked the picture OF
health said ae never ate a meal with
out taking q stuart Tablet afterHard.
because he could eat what be pleased
and when he pleased. without fear of

sun another used them because he was

Scientific Investigations in Alaska.

Scientific Investigations in Alaska
Prot. c. {. Georgeson. special agent
in Alaska for the Department of Scien-
rifc Investigation. has just recently re
turned 10 Washington, and yesterday
talked interestingly Of his work while in
Alaska. This work has been going on
for The past five years. and began with
the opening of station at Sitka in 1883
This first station opened here has since
remained the headquarters for the in
vesrigations OF the department. The
second station vas established at Keuai.
on the Kenai Peninsula. in the spring Of
1899. The third station was opened at
Rampant. Yukon River, in 1900, and was
closely followed by the last station at
Copper Center. Copper River Valley. All
of these stations are in successful opeT-
alton
The station established at Rampant
Yukon River. is in 65 deg. 80 min. Iati-
tude. and is the northeTnmost point at
which grain has ever been grown on the
American continent Last season spring
wheat. barley. oats. and winter rye were
all successfully matuTed-
Prof GeOTgeson thinks the agTicul-
trraI possibilities of this region are very
promising. for whatever can be grown
there can be grown south of it. II is
estima ted there are 100000 square miles
which can be utilized for grazing and
agricultural purposes
The work in Alaska is very costly,
being two to FIVE times as expensive as
in the States. and when the freight on
implements and animals is considered,
It can easily be seen how appTopria-
tions are used up.

of Judge Brown. of the United States
court of appeals, in Boston, releasing

Concord charged with cruelty TO ami
mails. on the ground that he struck a
COW infected with the foot -aud-mouth
disease twice on the head with an AK
before killing ii. The inspectors name
Is Thompson. and he killed the animal
under orders of DIT. Salmon. chief Of
the Bureau OF Animal Industry.
Counsel for the Society for the Pre-
Yention OF Cruelty to Animals main
tained that Thompson was not only
cruel but that he was acting without
authority because the law permitting
the Secretary of Agriculture to stamp
out the fo0t-and-mouth disease was un-
constitutional. decision sustaining
this contention would not only effectuaI-
ly bar all efforts 10 prevent the spread
of the disease, but would lay the De
partment Of Agriculture open TO any
number Of other suits based on rhe
sane grounds
Judge Brown made his ruling without
leaving the bench. He ordered Thomp-
sons immediate release on a writ Of
habeas corpus pending the settlement Of
the charges on appeal and sustai med
the position lof-the department that the
law under which the infected animals
were slain was entirely constitutional
