SCHOOL NO. e
AT LAST ACCEPTED

After considering the acceptance Of
No. % school, at Thirtieth and Madison
streets, erected by Contractor n. Smith
Barkley, for several weeks. the build
ing committee of the Board OF Educa-
tion last evening presented a report
to that body accepting the building on
condition that Mr.. Barkley waive pay.
ment for extras on the school. In re-
turn for this concession on the part Of
the contractor, if he agrees, the board
will not insist on the payment of the
forfeit money. accrued by reason Of the
school not being finished in contract
time.
The balance due Mr.. Barkley is s10.-
242, and this will be paid less $500. which
amount will be withheld by the school
board until Mr.. aBrkley completes some
minor details in the construction of the
building.
A communication was received from
Mrs. A. d. Warner asking the board
to donate a few old desks taken out OF
school No. 12 to a small colored school
near Clayton. Some time last spring
this school was burned down. and af.
ter a hard struggle the building has
been rebuilt but the funds are now
exhausted and new desks cannot be
procured.
On motion OF Mr. Brown it was de-
cided to grant Mrs. Warmers request.
The board granted permission to the
committee in charge Of the Dauphln In
stitute lectures. which have been run
ming at Wilmington High School for
some time, to hold another series OF
/ io..t,,ra- a, tho audftoritir,, of that
school. Professor A. r. Spaid, county
superintendent of public schools. was
present and explained the good the lee
lures were accomplishing. He said the
public was not charged admission, but
that the money paid to the lectures
was raised by subscription, and that
nobody in Wilmington made any money
out Of the movement.

UNKNOWN MALADY
AMONG INFANTS

An unknown malady Of some descrip-
ton seems to have broken out among
the children Of the city. Tor within the
last ten days the little ones have been
dying with surprising rapidity. During
sunday and up TO noon yesterday thir-
teen death certificates were issued by
the Board OF Health. and last week
forty death certificates in all were
given out.
Most Of these were for infants. The
complaints are said to be the natural
ills of young children, but this record
is considered very remarkable at this
time OF the year, especially when the
weather has been so cool and sup
posedly healthful The remainder OF
the deaths are mostly among persons
well advanced in years. Very few
deaths Of persons between the ages OF
10 and 80 have been recorded.

Lowell, Mass.-The engine of the
theatre train from Boston for this city
was derailed early Thursday morning
by striking pile of ties which had
been placed deliberately across the
track by train wreckers.
Fortunately the engineer saw the
obstruction in time to apply his brakes
so that the train was running at
greatly reduced speed when 1t hit the
ties and only the locomotive was de-
rallied, the coaches remaining on the
track. The passengers escaped with
out any injury except a severe shak-
ing due to the sudden stopping of the
train.
The ties we're placed upon the track
at point near East Billlerica, where
the train usually runs at a high rate
of speed. When the engine struck the
obstruction the train was sliding, on
account OF the application of the
brakes, and only the engine left the
rails.
The passengers, most Of whom were
Lowell and Nashua people, were
thrown from their seats and panic
ensued until the cause of the stoppage
became known.
The train was delayed 40 minutes.
A wrecking train replaced the derailed
locomotive on the track. The entire
line was cleared within an hour.
No clew to the perpetrators of the
effort to cause a serious wreck has
been discovered

Interesting Sea Tale.

New YUrk.-Charleo Lemaire,
treRch fisherman and stowaway on
the steamer La Bretagne, told an in
teresting tale of the sea to the immi-
grafton officials, who have decided
that he must be depcTted.
Lemaire, with three brothers, Henri,
Jean and Rene, were on a fishing trip
on the Newfoundland banks when, on
May 20, in fog they were run down
by an unknown liner.
The brothers clung to the wreckage
of their smack till May %, when a
liner, hearing the shouts of the
brothers. picked up Jean, Henri and
Rene, but owing to the fog, did not
see Charles, who was too weak to
shout.
Charles was tied to mast, and the
next he remembers was awakening on
a French ship bound for France. The
crew told him that he had been picked
up on May "a off the banks in a de-
liTious condition.
money.
He was sure the vessel that picked
up his three brothers landed them in
the United States, and he wanted to
come here and search for them. He
finally managed to stow away on La
Bretagne, but the law here is mex
orable and Lemaire will have to go
back to- France without a chance to
look for his brothers.

FOR QUICK ACTION
American Government Ready
For Cuban Emergency.
President Roosevelt is Closely Watch
Ing the Trend Of Affairs in "The
Pearl Of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Now Being Sent are Only for the
Protection Of American Interests.

Washington.-Presd Roosevelt Is
keenly alive to- the progress OF the
revolutionary movement in Cuba and
the responsibility OF the United States
I'm case the conditions grow worse and
Intervention becomes necessary.
The ships that have been sent to
SouOu- ure Tor the purpose Only oE Pve-
tecting American interests and FUR
nishing asylums for Americans who
may be in danger from the warning
factions. Actual intervention would
mean the use of the army, and all the
available forces would no doubt be
needed and will be ready II serious
situation develops.
Under present conditions the army
has been kept in better state Of pre-
paratiOn than ever before and will be
ready If called upon. In the event OF
Intervention every available man OF
the regular army will be used and
| will be sent to Cuba as fast as possi-
BILE Although no regular transports
are available on the Atlantic coast, 1t
Is known where transports can be OBJ
tained as soon as needed.
Authority for the Intervention in
Cuban affairs is contained in the
third article of the Platt amendment
adopted by congress in the army ap-
preparation bill OF 1902, which reads:
THAT the government Of Cuba con-
sents that the United States may exer-
else the right to intervene fer the
preservation of Cuban independence,
the maintenance Of government ade-
quate for the protection of life, prop
erty and individual liberty, and for
discharging the obligations with re-
spect to Cuba imposed by the treaty Of
Paris en- the United States, now to be
assumed and undertaken by the gov
ernment of Cuba"
This, with the other provisions of
the Platt amendment, were incor-
porated in the constitution of Cuba.
Some weeks ago the 9th and 2lst
regiments of infantry were ordered
home from the Philippines, it being
stated that their tour Of service in the
Pacific islands was completed. The
return of these regiments upon three
transports which sailed last winter
for the Philippines, will bring availa-
| BILE troops to the Atlantic coast and
| also the transports which would be
very necessary if the Platt amendment
| is invoked.

Resume Acts Of Destruction.

Havana.-The insurgents in Pinar
del Rio and Santa Clara provinces
sGgnalized the resumption of war by
blowing up railroad bridges, again
blocking traffic, and committing other
acts Of destruction. The insurgent
commanders in Santa Clara had pre-
ViOusly threatened the railroad au-
thoTities and others that they would
begin today to burn and destroy pro-
perty and the railroad officials so in
formed the provincial governor, but
that functionary was powerless to pre-
vent the depredations. AS the insur-
gents in Havana province have made
similar threats, there is much appre'
hension here of the inauguration OF
like policy.
The event in Havana was the arrival
Sept. IL of the United States protected
cruised Denver. When the flag on
MORO castle signaled the approach OF
the American warship the news spread
with rapidity throughout the city and
large crowds hastened to the wharyes.
AS the cruiser moved up the harbor
firing the usual salute of q guns,
which was responded TO from the Ca
banas fortress, the countenances OF
Americans showed pleasure, while
those Of the Cubans expressed Won
der and perplexity.
Cuban officials are unanimous in
stating that the visit of the Denver
has no special significance.
Commander Colwell stated to the
Associated Press that his orders to
come to Havana were received by wire
less telegraph while the Denver was
steaming in Long Island sound, and
that he proceeded here Immediately.
When ok cape Hatteras an order was
received by wireless telegraph to pro-
ceed to Key West but as the cruiser
was approaching that port another
message was received directing that
the Denver continue to Havana.
Asked as to the Denver's available
landing force in case of necessity,
Commander Colwell replied that while
she carried no marines at present, she
had $50 well drilled and armed sailors
and several field guns, which could be

manner in which Cuban insurgent

recruited was received recently from

After noting the ruin Of this years
crop and the fact that, where Pine

the dispatch says:
"The experience of one planter in

has occurred everywhere. He en-
ployed $50 negro men. When he told
them that he would be unable to pay
them any longer, they Loyalty offered
to remain with him If food alone we're

Senator Dick Wins.

| Dayton, O.-Republicans of Ohio
Wednesday held one of the hottest
state conventions in the history of the
party in this state. And still more
remarkable was 1t for the fact that
the contest was not over the naming
of candidates for the state offices, for
which the convention had been called,
but over the selection of q chairman
OF the state executive committee, in
volving the state leadership of u. S.
Sen. Dick. The senator won, not only
on this proposition, but also on the
question of Endorsement of his work
and that Of Sen. Foraker, many of
the republicans of the state having
taken the position that in view Of the
fact that the senators had not entire
| ly agreed with the policy of Pres
Roosevelt on national legislation it
would be inconsistent to give an in
dorsement of equal force to both the
president and the two senators.
The platform as adopted declares
for the maintenance Of the policy of
protection and the curbing of monopo-
llSo COi pOldlS dDuSeS. Laws lO
promote labor's interests are advOcat-
ed, with a plank calling for the sup
preston of child labor. Congress is
urged to upbuild the merchant ma
rine and strong navy is favored.
The platform also advocates a law for
primary nominations of public SER
wants, to be held by all parties at the
same time. One plank says:
I'VE favor the reduction of repre-
sentation in congress and electoral
college in all the states of this union,
where white and colored citizens are
disfranchised, to the end that the 14th
amendment to the constitution of the
United States may be enforced ac-
cording to it's letter and spirit"
