PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
HAS THE SPELLING BUG

oyster Bay, Aug. 24.--President
Roosevelt today announced that he
has adopted the Carnegie reform in
spelling and that he has instructed
the public printer that all official doe
uments from the White House, in-
cluding the presidents message, shall
be printed in accordance with the rec
ommendaton of the spelling reform
committee headed by Brander Mat
thews of Columbia university.
This committee has published a list
of three hundred words In which the
spelling is reformed. This list con-
tans such words as thru and tho
as spelling for through" and
though" The presidents sanction of
this reform movement Is regarded as
the most effective and speediest
method for the Inauguration of the
new system of spelling through out
the country. 1t is regarded as more
than likely that the respective heads
of departments will fall in line with
the presidents ideas and have their
official documents printed in the new
spelling. The president will also util-
iZe the reformed spelling in all his
correspondence.

INTENSE INTEREST IN
WARNINGS OF EARTHQUAKE

Washington, Aug. 24.--The Star
says: An extraordinary statement APP
pears in the news dispatches from
Santiago. Chile, TO the effect that the
approach of the seismic disturbances
was predicted by the scientists at the
naval observatory at Valparaiso two
days i'm advance of the occurrence and
proclaimed in the newspapers
throughout Chile the day before the
shock. IL will be interesting to learn
by what means the seismologlsts are
enabled to foresee an earthquake Of
serious potency. II Is possible that n
long series of observations have per.
mltted the formulation OF the laws OF
sequence. certain tremors being her

To be sure. there was no place in the
vicinity of Valparaiso where the peo-
pie could be assured of safety. Their
only security would be from the fall
ing buildings and the fires resulting
from the collapse of walls. 1t is to be
remembered that the city is built upon
a narrow space lying between the
mountains and the sea and flight is

INSURGENT LEADER
HAS ONLY 1000 MEN

Havana. Aug. ga letter received
here from a reliable correspondent
who visited Guerra at San Juan De
Martinez. says that the insurgent lead
er's force amounts to 1000 men. The
correspondent says that all the people
in that part of the country are liberals
and sympathizers with the insured
.tion, but that Guerra has not sufficient
ammunition either to take Pinar De-
Rio or sustain prolonged fight Tic
people have plenty of arms, but little
ammunition and they have no chance
of procuring it, This is believed here
to be a correct view of the situation.

PALMA PRACTICALLY A
PRISONER IN THE PALACE

Tampa. Fla, Aug. 24.-The steam
ship Gussle arrived here today from
Havana, loaded to full capacity with
tobacco, which is being rushed out Of
the island by importers. Information
received from private sources by this
boat state that President Palma Is vir-
tually a prisoner at the palace at Ha-
yana and that he has not left 1t for a
week. Indications are that the situa .
tlon on the island is much worse than
Is known to the outside world. The
revolution has also extended into San
Ia Clara province and has broken out
IN MatanHas.

Austin, Texas, Aug. 24.--The Inter

officers state that the troops when
they leave will go to san Antonio to
garrison the post there, which has
been short handed since the troops
there were ordered to Brownsville.
San Antonio is within six hours run
to Brownsville and it is believed here
that the troops are to be sent there in
order that they may quickly reach

Money In Political Campaigns.

The figures respeetine presidential cam
paign funds, presented to the House yes
terday by Mr.. sulzer are interesting If
correct But are they correct? They In
clude the campaign OF 1850, which took
place forty-six years ago. They relate TO
business about which no books, in the
proper sense OF the term, are ever kept.
They are all in round numbers. For these
reasons, may they not be mere estimates
made large to help drive through Congress
a bill on the subject now pending?
Let us see Mr.. Sulzer gives the repub-
leans 100000 in 1860, and the democrats
only $4,000 Now there were two demo-
cratic tickets that year, and one of them
the Breckenridge ucket-represented the
enormously rich slaveholding power. Are
we to believe that the Breckenridge ticket
had only $4,000 at its command? And
where did the republicans get so much
money? Their campaign was one OF senti-
ment Mr.. Lincoln was not appealing to
either the banking or to the commercial
world
In 1876. according to Mr.. Sulzer. MIR. TIL
den had but a little the better of Mr.. Hayes
in the matter OF money The country is
not prepared to believe that. Mr.. Tilden
was enormously rich himself. and in poll
ties a liberal spender. and his hackers had
unlimited credit in Wall street. There was
effort on the part of the Tilden manage
ment to buy an electoral vote, and could
the vote have been secured half million
dollars FOR that purpose alone could easily
have been raised.
To accept Mr.. Suffers figures the Cleve-
land campaign in 1892 cost less than
that OF General Harrison. And yet ne
is probably the only democrat to claim that.
Mr. Whitney financed the Cleveland cause
that year, both as respected the nomination
and the election. and he was never known
to put his crowd on short rations. What
money could buy was always secured by
him.
That Mr.. Hanna had goodly sum in 1896
We may all believe. But that it was $4,000
900 is highly improbable. And with all the
silver interests on Mr.. Bryans side was
there less than million dollars secured for
him? What is more unlikely
Mr.. Sulzer says his figures are based upon
good authority. Let him give his authority.
and other informing details and then Con-
gress will have something definite to go on.
