Threats of Fanatics in Jail.

Montreal, Quebec Fourteen
Doukhobors incarcerated in the jail
at Regina absolutely refuse to par
take of food Nourishment has TO
be forced through their teeth by sci
entific means. These men are lead
ers of the famous band that braved
the priclzly cactus with naked feet
while they wandered nude over the
prairies.
They have resolved that If the po-
lice authorities will not allow them
to turn Saskatchewan into veritable
garden of Eden they will starve their
bodies. twas not long ago'that sew
eral Doukhobor fanatics who were
imprisoned in the same jail refused
to eat unless they were fed on Calf

and peanuts. These fourteen will
not even eat the rawest of vegetables
Or the most tempting fruit.
The authorities realized that ex-
traordinary measures had to be
adopted A physician was sum-
moned. Each Doukhobor was lald
on his back, pinned to the floor and
liquid nourishment pumped into him.
This proved so successful that it was
resolved to repeat the operation three
times a day until the fanatics should
come to their senses The Doukho-
bors have got to live, whether they
like it or not.

ss5, 100000 WASTED IN WATER.
Excessive Irrigation Causes Enorm-
GUS Loss to Western Farmers.

Boise, Idaho. AT the National Ir-
rigation Congress DR.. Elwood Mead,
of the Government Reclamation Ser
vice, spoke of The Evolution of Irri-
cation Institutions, dealing with the
steady development from absolute
private ownership of small water
rights into a great system Of commu
nifty and Government ownership.
Some startling statistics were pre-
scented. by Professor Samuel Fortier,
of the University OF California. in an
address dealing with the loss of water
through waste. He made the asser-
ton that in the Western States $780,
0OO,0 were expended annually in
securing and distributing water for
irrigation, and that of this water
thus distributed fully seventy-five per
cent. was wasted, causing a net loss
to the people of the Western States
of more than $3B.000,000. He ex-
pressed the opinion, however, that
while all CT this loss could not be
stopped, he believed that fully ten
per. cent. of it could be.

CUBAN REBELS BLOW
UP STEEL BRIDGES
Pine Guerra Rejects Armistice
by Renewed Activity.
TAKES JUAN De MARTINEZ
Government Forces Unable to Cope
With Rebel Chief, who Demands
New Elections to Get Rid Of
President Palma.

Havana, Cuba. All peace over
lures were blocked by the refusal of
Pine Guerra, the insurgent leader in
Pinar del Rio Province, to enter into
an arrangement for an armistice
Guerra's answer to the Governments
announcement of its readiness to
grant an armistice was the blowing
up of two bridges on the Western
Railway an English company. the
cutting of railway communication be-
yond Pinar del Rio City, and an at
tack on San Juan de MARTINEZ San
Juan de Martinez is in the hands of
the insurgents and the garrison, con-
sisting Of 100 Government recruits
and small force or mounted rural
guards, has been defeated or cap
tured.
The fact that other leaders of the
insurrection are willing to agree to
an armistice can have little effect SO
long as Guerra is determined to pros
ecute the war, and there is slight
doubt in any quarter that Guerra can
control the situation in his region.
His force is reported by all those who
have visited him recently as ranging
from 5000 to 1000 men, all of them
well mounted and some well and 9TH
ers indifferently armed.
The Government force opposed to
him, which IS under command of
Colonel Avalos, comprises about 1900
men. 1t was reinforced by Lieuten-
ant-Colonel Clews with $50 men and
three machine guns from Havana.
Colonel Ayalos forces, with the ex-
ception of small attachments left at
San Juan de Martinez and San Luis,
is at Pinar del Rio City, but is With
out means OF transportation to go to
the relief of San Juan de Martinez
Not more than 400 are mounted
General Meenocal said that Guer-
"a evidently had not been informed
that the Government had actually, al
though Informally, granted an arm
istice, adding that second commit
tee had been sent to him. The fact
is, however. that Guerra refuses point
blank to accept an armistice except
ON conoition that the last elections
for President and Congress shall be
Annulled That the Government

question, and so every prospect points
to the continuance of the war.
In connection with Pine Guerra
attitude 1t is notable that the Liber-
ais have grown more independent.
They say that on account of the Gov
ernment's surveillance and persecu-
lions they will no longer hold meet
ings, and that it is useless to consider
peace under the circumstances.
All regard the blowing up of an
English company's railroad bridge
as serious matter and likely to in
vite international action by Great
Britain, or at least an interrogation
of the Government at Washington
by Great Britain as to whether the
former intends to intervene to end
war conditions in Cuba.

MEAT PACKERS CAPITULATE.
Will Label Their Products by October
4, as Required by Law.

Washington, D. C.-After numer-
Gus conferences between Secretary
Wilson. Dr. Melvin, Chief Of the Blu
reau of Animal Industry, and about
forty representatives OF the various
meat packing houses, the problems
which have arisen over the question
of labels which, under the law must
be put upon meat products, have been
settled to the satisfaction Of all con-
cerned. What probably was the last
conference was held at the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and the packers
announced that they would prepare
the labels by October 1, when the law
goes into effect.
Throughout the discussions Secre-
tary Wilson stood for labels which
would state exactly what the package
contained, and this the packers finally
have accepted, although by way of
compromise the Secretary did not in-
sist upon the percentages of different
meats contained in any canned article
put out under one name.

HUNGRY FOR LEARNING.
Students Will Not Oppose Opening Of
Universities.

st. Petersburg AT a meeting of
Social Democratic and Social Revo-
lutionist university students it was
decided not to oppose the reopening
of the universities, which is sched-
uled for October IA, thereby furnish
ing strong possibility that the par
alysis of the educational life of the
country, which has lasted for two
school years, may soon be ended.
Many revolutionary students ia
vored abandoning entirely the OBJ
structive attitude, re-entering the
universities and resuming their stud
les instead of making the universities
temples for the revolutionary move
ment. which was the motive behind
the short and fruitless resumption Of
work in the universities last year.
Among the student masses there
has grown UP a feeling of resentment
against the tactics which are depriv-
ing them of education and determ-
ination to resume studies regardless
of any strike decisions.
