UNEAS|NESS
PREVAILS IN PROVINCE OF
SANTA CLARA.
MORE RIOTS EXPECTED
A Bitter Feeling Exists
Against Americans.

Havana, Feb 2.-There is great un-

in Santa Clara province, and 1t is
feared that the rioting which recently
grew out Of the report made to Min
lister Squiers by United States Con-
sui Baehr at Cienfuegos, criticising
will be continued and communicated to
other provinces throughout the island.
The indignity offered to the American
consul at Cienfuegos by covering the
front of the consulate with filth has
melted the people to bolder demonstra-
tions against American interests and a
new attack of the rabble upon the con-
sulate is said to be threatened. The
police seem powerless to cope with the
situation and the streets are constantly
the scene of mass meetings and anti
American demonstrations.
The suspension today of the gov

mayor of Cienfuegos at the demand of
United States Minister Squiers has
added fuel to the flames.

FIRE DESTROYS
WHEELING SHOPS
Two Locomotives and ManV Cars
Burned.
Firemen Fought Flames in Raging
Blizzard.
The Loss is Estimated at Over
$65,000.

The large machine and repair shops
of the Wheeling &c Lake railway, sit
uated at the foot of Eighth street in
this city, just west of the Wheeling
tracks, were totally destroyed by fire
at an early hour last evening. The
alarm was sent in at 4:40 o'clock, and
by the time the department reached
the scene the entire inside of the
building was in flames and nothing
could be done toward saving the con-
tents.
The fire originated in the boiler
room, where large lamp belonging
to an engine headlight fell and ex-
ploded The burning oil was scat
tered about the room, and coming in
contact with the floors and walls
which were literally covered with
grease and oil, the flames made such
rapid headway that the men who were
working right in the building were
not able to save their tools.
The building contained two locomo.
tives and a large number of cars
which had been run in for repairs,
and these, with thousands of dollars
worth of machinery and tools, were de.
stroyed. The structure was frame
one built in woNcompartments, one
being the machine shop and the other

After the ire, all that was left OF
the engines and machinery were piles
of twisted and burned iron, which has
no value aside from that of scrap.
When the department reached the
fire, there was some delay in getting
all the hose attached owing to the dis
tance away from the fire plugs and the
fact that access was blocked by cars
and car wheels. The wind was blow

A BOOM FOR GASOLINE ENGINES.
Superintendent Mason's Improvement In
a New Circulating Cooler.

Three important and expensive pieces
Of machinery have just been added TO
the plant Of the Alma Manufact uring
Company. Superintendent Mason be-
lieves in removing all obsticles tending
TO delay speed or good workmanship,
and one of the new machines is drill
with which five holes may be drilled in
the head OF cylinder at once in the same
length OF time IL has taken TO drill one
hole. Work Is now being pushed TO
complete 100 five horse power engines,
and they are being turned out at the rate
OF three day.
A new feature OF Importance in the
way OF circulating cooler is being
placed with each engine. The chief
advantage of this cooler is in the size Of
the water tank, and the corresp onding
small amount OF water required TO cool
the cylinder. The tank now used by
most engines holds from three 90 five
barrels, while this tank will only require
three OF four pals Of water. This is
m sde possible by having the hot water
from the cylinder return TO the tank
over screen. exposing it to the air and
20 keeping it cool. This will be big
boom to users OF gasoline engines, especi.
ally where they are used for saving in
the woods where water is scarce, and
would have 60 be hauled in large guam
titles to supply large tank

During the last week Of the campaign
our local democratic friends made the
widest kinds of claims as to what
Grstiot County and Michigan would do,
even going so far in some instances as TO
claim the election OF Prof. Ferris by a
large majority. 1t was evident to those
who were acquainted with conditions
throughout the State that these claims
were based on the supposition that the
sentiment in Alma was al index Of that
generally prevailing. This is where they
were mistaken and those republicans
who were led astray in this campaign
should remember, in the future, that
Democracy is continually inventiDg new

remember that the best way to get reform
