Last August an instruction broke
out in Cuba which it speedily grew ev-
ident that the existing Cuban govern
ment was powerless to quell. This gov
eminent was repeatedly asked by the
then Cuban government to intervene,
and finally was notified by the presi-
dent of Cuba that he intended to re-
sign; that his decision was irrevocable;
that none of the other constitutional
officers would consent TO carry on the
government, and that he was poWerless
to maintain order. 1t was evident that
chaos was impending, and there was
every probability that if steps were not
Immediately taken by this government
to try to restore order the representa-
tives of various European nations in
the island would apply to their respec-
tive governments for armed interven-
ton in order to protect the lives and
property of their citizens. Thanks to
the preparedness of our navy, l was
able Immediately to send enough ships
to Cuba to prevent the situation from
becoming hopeless; and I furthermore
dispatched to Cuba the secretary of
war and the assistant secretary of
state, in order that they might grapple
with the situation on the ground. All
efforts to secure an agreement between
the contending factions, by which they
should themselves come to an amicable
understanding and settle upon some
modus vivendi-some provisional gov
eminent of their own-failed. Finally

T|D|NGS FROM
REV. FATHER COOK
Compliment in Canadian
Paper to Former Ham
mond Divine.

Hammond folk who remember Rev.
Father Cook with love and reverence,
as all who knew him do. will be pleas
ed to have word concerning him. Faith
er Cook was formerly pastor of All
Saints church. this city. and about
ten years ago he left to take charge
of a parish in Mitchell, Can. The fol-
lowing, clipped from the Stratford
Beacon, is interesting:
Rev Father Cook. who is we'll known
to the people OF Mitchell. having been
a curate at ST. Columbian some years
ago, participated at the celebration of
Revs DR.. McMullen's jubilee In Wood
stock last week He had a seat on the
platform and was one of the speakers
In the course Of his address Father
Cook said 'Dr. McMullen had preached
the broad doctrine of the cross and the
spirit of Christ. We hope that as the
Lord has blessed him in the ministry
He will bless him now; when he goes
to his fathers, may his departure be a.
glorious sunset. He has been an ex-
ample for all to follow. and his life
has been a benediction. He has la
bored with an eye single to the Mas
ters service This was a generous
tribute TO the protestant minister and
expresses exactly the relation that
ought TO prevail between the clergy Of
the Catholic and the Protestant
churches"

carried into the ferry house and as
soon as an ambulance could be sum-
moned was removed to the New York
nOSplldil N0SIS ne received IfealnG
as a private patient eMantime, the
bishop had regained consciousness and
the indications of the twenty-four
hours following were that the shoslx
had been a slight one AT that time
his condition gave promise OF speedy
recovery and the former health of the
patient encouraged this hope. Just
before the attack he had walked
briskily and carried a grip filled with
books and papers without apparent
| fatigue.
Bishop McCabe was born at Athens.

than thirty years he was popularity
known as Chaplain McCabe.' and the
title clung to him even after the gen
eraI conference of the Methodist church
in 1896 made him a bishop.
The late bishops official address was
Omaha, Neb., but he had made his
nome for several years in Evanston,

Engineering Problem Raised by the
Purchase of an Addition to Inland

Engineers are now at work on the

Especial to Lake County Times).

NSQcCAAA ~ AOoAhS
Gary, Ind, Dec. 19.-Gary's fame, or
rather the fame of this part of Lake
county as a retreat for criminals and
evaders of the clutches OF the law, Is
rapidly waning. Last evening two
more men were hauled into the local
police station, that are wanted in an
other part of the country for burglary
and are now awaiting transportation
to the scene of their labors. The
usual number of Weary Willies and
plain drunks were afforded lodging
ard stood trial this morning. Many
of them are recently from Chicago
where a plain drunk costs about two
dollars when arrested for the offense
When the fine and costs here are an
nounced as being anywhere from S11
to SIS as the case may be, very pain
ed and surprised expression fits across
the countenance of the subject and, af-
ter paying his fine, If he can, he
usually takes good care that he does
not repeat the offense. The strict
prosecutions are having a deterrent eff
feet upon the apparent lawlessness
that has given an unsavory notoriety
to Gary and vicinity.

FAST MAIL ENGINE
THROWS A FLANGE
Miraculous Escape of Lake
Shore Train From
Destruction.
(speciaI to Lake County TIme..l

Gary. Ind. Dec. 19.-The fast mail
train going east on the Lake Shore
in the morning, known as No. 4. had a
breakdown yesterday morning half a
mile east of the local Lake Shore sta
tion.
The engine slipped one Of it's tires.
This kind of an accident to an engine
would usually make a respectable
scrap-heap of the larger portion of a
train. In this case no one was in
jured or even scared beyond the slight
jar of the sudden stopping.
The flying hange ripped out rods and
cranks of half the engine, totally dis
abling 1t. Traffic was delayed several
hours, 1t being necessary to send trains
on the south track while making UP
the new train.

GIBSON YARDS TO BE TURNED
OVER TO RAILROAD OFFICIALS
Engineers Who Have Charge of Oper-
ations VIII Tender Completed Work
on Dec. 20-Shop Employees VIII Live
in Hammond.

On Thursday, Dec. 20. the engineers
who have had in charge the building
OF the Indiana Harbor yards will turn
them over to the traffic department OF
that road.
The event will be a noteworthy one
as the Gibson yards are the largest
and most up to date IN the west. Mill
ion OF dollars have been spent in con-
structing them and the machine shops
and round houses are the best that
money can buy.
A matter OF considerable Importance
to Hammond will be the fact that all
OF the engineers and firemen and other
employees of the shops viii be COM
PEELED to live IN Hammond or Indiana
Harbor and eventually viii locate in
Hammond. IN the vicinity OF the yards.

Homewood Boys Thought
To Be Emulating Vel
low Back Heroes.
LUMBER FADES AWAY
Police Think Responsibility Might
Be Traced to Hopefuls of
First Families.

The condition of Frank Laws, the
nine-year-ol boy who was shot yes
terday by a West Hammond urchin.
and who was taken to St Margaret's
hospital after the shooting, is reported
as better today.
In the meantime there are new de-
velopments. 1t now appears that
young Ed Crumpacker, son of Peter
Crumpacker. last Saturday discharged
gun he carried and which he was
trying" the bullet crashing through
transom of the new house on Will
Jams street into which Bob Mathies
recently moved his family. No harm
was done other than the breaking of
the glass and the shock of the inmates
as the bullet ranged across the room
and hit the dining room wall opposite
the transom through which it entered.
Look for Cave.
The police now believe the young
Homewoodites have a cave somewhere
across the state line The boys have
been making mysterious visits of late,
and this fact together with the grad
ual disappearance of lumber owned by
Contractor George Pearson, which has
happened simultaneously with the oc-
castons OF the visits have made the po-
| lice suspicious. Enough lumber has
disappeared to make quite a respectable
cave and Mr.. Pearson, who is a police
commissioner, believes with the officers

are at the bottom of the depreciation.
Yesterdays incident has attracted
considerable attention all over the
town and Homewood parents well
as the fathers and mothers of young
sters in West Hammond are wondering
where it will end.
While the trouble has been brewing
for years, the first real shooting oc-
Cured a couple of months or less ago,
when a young son of r. H. Nellie
landed a small bullet In the anatomy
of one Of the West Hammond lads,
This he had discharged from a sparrow
gun.
Used 3S.
Yesterday a group of Homewood
boys paid West Hammond a visit and
the West Hammond gang, remember
few weeks ago, were on the lookout
| and one of their number retaliated with
thirty eight calibre revolver, wound
! ing young Laws in the thigh as detailed
| in yesterdays TIMES. The parents of
the warning faction are now waiting for
Krag- -Jorgensen's to be brought into
the controversy, with the expectation
that If the present rate of progress con-
tinues, gatling guns will be the ulti-
mate weapons that will be brought into
play.
All of the facts of the various shoot
! ings go to show that there is a dis
position toward the blase on the part
| of both Homewood and the West Ham
| mand lads with reference to firearms,
and 1t looks as though a few spankings
might help some.
Thus far, the youngster who shot
Laws has not been apprehended as his
cvompanions, If any of them actually
know who was the guilty party, refuse
