All accounts agree that there are
5000 insurgents a few miles southeast
of Havana, and there are rumors that
they will enter the city peacably ic
not molested, but that they will fight
if they meet resistance. 1t is belle 7cd
however, that no attempt win hs
made against Havana until the arriv-
al of Pine Guerra, who is estimated
to be about 80 miles distant.
The general impression is that the
presence in Havana harbor % the
American cruiser Denver will not act
as a deterrent to such a movement

CUPID AND Telephone GIRLS
The Little Fellow Almost Plays Havoc
With the Independent Company.

Cupid seems to have established
headquarters in the central office of the
Independent Telephone company if the
reports which emanate from that
source are to be relied upon. There
are about one hundred girls employed
on the telephone boards and out Of this
number an even dozen have notified
the management that they desire to
sever their connection with the COM
pany for the reason that they are to
be married either this month or early
in June.
IF this thing keeps up said B. f..
Pankey, president Of the company, this
morning, I'VE will be compelled to
commence looking around for some
extra girls who are willing to sign a
pledge that they Will work for while
at least. without developing the matri-
whose engagements have been an
nounced leave it will deplete the pres
ent working force one-eighth and that
will give all of our extra girls steady
employment on the board.
While we have had no trouble in
the past in filing vacancies, we have
never had such an exodus Of operators
! in so short a time, and there are a
number of qualifications which we ex-
act which makes it impossible for more
than one-fourth of the applicants to be
eligible. For instance, one of the re-
qulrements is that the applicant must
be at least five feet and three inches, or
more in height, and the arm reach two
feet and two inches. These require
ments are necessary so that the opera
tor may reach all parts Of the board
with ease"

FLOODED THE BUILDING.
Lead Pipe Thieves Play Havoc in Sells
Block.

II have heard Of red hot stoves being
stolen and other stories equally alb
surd.' remarked Frank Klingaman This
morning who IS agent for the Sells
building at 62S Kansas avenue. but
about the most exasperating experience
that I had had along that line occurred
yesterday I was called over the tele-
phone and told that the water pipes in
one of the bath rooms had frozen and
burst or something, at any rate the
Whiting paint store on the floor below
was being flooded.
The plumbers finally succeeded. in
getting the water cut off at the alley
and found upon investigating that some
one had entered the bath room on tie
second floor and loosened the screws
which hold water pipe in position
and had attempted to saw it in two.
They could have easily told that the
pipe was filled with water If they had
taken the trouble to investigate but
they seemed in such a hurry to get
away with piece of lead pipe which
would not have brought more than 50
cents at a junk shop that they sawed
into the pipe without investigating. The
damage to the property and to the
stocks Of goods damaged will amount
to considerable.
LAS soon as the thief had sawed
through the lead pipe and the water
had commenced to leak out he left leav-
ing his saw behind him. He was seen
by one of the ladies on the second floor
of the building and recognized Is a
white man"
