POLITICAL TURMOIL IN CUBA.
Held Up by Legislators and Robbed
of Valuable State Papers.

Havana Great excitement has been
caused in political circles here over the
forcible seizure by Nationalist con-
gresham of papers covering fifty al
legations of improper acts by Havana
councilmen and city officials. The in
cident is the outcome Of strife between
members Of the moderate party, of
which President Palma and his cabi
net ministers are members, and the
Nationalist, who control the city and
the provincial government. The al
legations, which are mostly of a minor
description, were made two years ago
and sent by the government to Gen.
Nunez, governor Of Havana province,
for investigation and decision. Gen.
Nunez caused the allegations to be in
vestigated to some extent from the re-
cords, but the investigation was not
complete. The matter was presented
to the new and avowedly Moderate
cabinet, which decided to prosecute
the inquiry to conclusion, and if the
facts seemed to warrant it, to depose
the city officials responsible for mis-
conduct. 1t is asserted that they had
even selected successors for the Off
cials to be removed. On Wednesday
Gen. Andrade, secretary of the inte
rior, directed Gov. Nunez to return
his decision by Saturday afternoon.
When the clerk from the governors
Office appeared at the city hall carry
ing the papers he was attacked by
six congressman, among them whom
was the governors brother, and over
powered, after which the documents
were taken from him and secrete1

About thirty years ago a remark
able bet was made between Capt M
a racing celebrity, and another off.
Ger who was noted for his activity.
Capt. M bet $50 that his fellow Of
ficer would not hop up certain flight
of stairs "two at a time"
The offer was taken, but. as there
were forty-one steps in the flight, he
found, after taking twenty hops, that
he was left only one step to negotiate
and had lost. He accused Capt M
Of sharp practice, but the latter re-
piled:

The officer, thinking to get back
his money, again accepted.
Capt. M then hoped up forty

back one, finished by going up the
last two steps, and won.

The Bigger Thing.

Careless milking is something that
should not be put up with by any
means wherever cows are kept 1t has
been figured ont, and we have not the
least doubt but what the figures are
fairly accurate, that careless milking
IN the United States is responsible for
the loss of one pound of milk and one
tenth of pound of fat per day for each
COW. This was the average gained by
testing 142 cows. In commenting on
this a dairy paper says that thorough
milking and udder manipulation would
increase the value of the milk given by
the 100000 cows in the United States
over present production by S1OO,OO0,OO
a year This is equal to five per cent.

ing would increase the dairy capital
