WIDOWS LAND CLAIMS.
| Allegation of Fraud for Benefit of Cat
tIemen Being Looked Into.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Secretary
Hitchcock yesterday heard arguments
case involving the legality of en-
tries made by soldiers widows in the
interest of cattlemen in western Ne
oraska. The case is that of Anna
3owles, and involves the require
ments under section 1907 of the re-
vised statutes, governing the rights of
soldiers widows to make homestead
entries, particularly with reference to
the point as to whether the require
ments include residence. The entry
woman in this case contends that resi-
dence on the land entered is not nee
essary. She also contends that hav-
ing an entry, she can lease the land or
make an agreement to sell on the COM
pletion of her final entry. The COM
missioner of the general land Office re-
fused to concede these points, and
the case went before the secretary on
appeal. The land involved is in the
Broken Bow land district, and the case
is test one.

DEADLY FEVER IN CUBA.
American Medical Authorities Asked
to Help.


New York, Sept. 2.-Menaced by a
disease which has baff1ed the best
medical skill of the island, the health
department officials of Cuba have ap-
piled to the authorities of Columbia
university and Jefferson Medical col
lege of Philadelphia for aid in deter
mining the nature of the disease.
The most eminent physicians of
those institutions are working in con.
junction with the medical authorities
of the marine hospital and public
health department of the United
States government in an effort to de-
termine the nature of the disease. All
details of the investigation are re-
fused.
The disease in many of the symp-
toms resembles bubonic plague, but it
is said to be more swift in it's progress
and more deadly in it's effects.
1t first appeared some months ago
in the isolated town of Daiquiri, prov
ince of Santiago. Men employed in the
iron mines in that locality were af-
fected. The disease did not yield to
the treatment, and the mortality was
greater than in yellow fever or any
kindred diseases.
The inhabitants become panic
stricken. and an American steel COM
pany, with large interests there, took
up the matter. Reference to the New
York and Philadelphia experts fol-
lowed.
The description of the disease fur
nished by the Cuban physicians shows
the worst symptoms of yellow fever,
black fever and spotted fever. The
patient is usually dead few hours
after first complaining of illness and
turns a bright yellow after death. 1t
is in the death that the disease pre-,
sents it's most horrible phase. The
victims pulse rate rushes to $50, a
heart beat which is deemed almost i'm
noSSihle by physicians of experience
