Papers Seized In HaYana.

Great excitement has been caused in
political circles in Havana over the
forcible seizure yesterday afternoon by
six nationalist congressman of papers
covering fifty allegations of improper
acts by Havana councilmen aud city
officials. The incident is the outcome
of strife between members of the
moderate party, of which President
Palma aud his cabinet ministers are
members, and the nationalists, who
control the city and provincial govern
ment
The allegations, which are mostly of a
minor description, we're 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
records, but the investigation was not
completed. The matter was presented 10
the new and avowedly moderate cabi-
net, which decided to prosecute the
inquiry to conclusion. and if the facts
seemed to warrant it, to depose the city
officials responsible tor misconduct.
1t is asserted that they had even Sc
lected successors for the officials to be
removed.
On Wednesday Gen. Andrade, secre-
tary of the interior, directed Gov. Nunez
to return his decisions by Saturday
afternoon. When the clerk from the
governors Office appeared at the city
hall carrying the papers he was attacked
by six congressman, among whom WIS
the governors brother, and overpower
ed, after which the documents we're taken
from him and secreted. The nationalist
congressman concerned in this affair
have made no statement except to assert
that the documents are now 10 the
custody of the House. Gov. Nunez has
reported the seizure of the papers to
Secretary Andrade and the court of first
instance.

Is The Popular Science Monthly"
for April Dr. John NJ. Clark, State
geo!ogist of New York, considers the
danger 10 which the cataract of Mag
ara is exposed by the utilization OF its
power for industrial purposes. When
the two companies which are at work on
the American side of the falls have
ayailed themselves fully of their charter
rights they will together take from the
river lG, 800 cubic feet of water per
second. At least three of the companies
to which similar privileges have been
granted in Canada show signs Of activity
and determination. If, as DR.. Clarke
thinks is probable, they should go to the
legal limit, they would consume more
than 80, 600 cubic feet second, raising
the total consumption to $4,000 cubic
feet. Estimates of the capacity of the
river made by United States engineers,
range from 22O,0 to $50, 900 cubic
feet. or only five times the quantity tor
the abstraction of which permission has
been given already. Now, the water is
much shallowec on the New York side
of Niagara than it is west Of Goat
Island, and ga competent hydraulic
engineer" who is not mentioned by
name. believes that the withdrawal OF
40, 900 cubic feet would leave the
American fall dry Whether these
figures be altogether correct or not, it is
jndisputable that the American fall
would be exhausted long before the rest
of the contract and that such con-
summation may be witnessed within the
next FIVE or ten years is within the
bounds of credbiity. Up TO the present
time the effect of the operations of the
pioneer corporation has been scarcely
perceptible, but too extensive imi-
ta;iOn OF its enterprising example can
have but one result.
