TROUBLE IN CUBA.
Red Hot Political Campaign Causes Ri
otous Demonstrations.

Havana.-The political situation In
Cuba is growing hot. The Liberals are
not only criticising Governor Magoon
for his slowness in turning the Moder-
ates out of Office, but are falling out
among thmselves. The campaign to
elect a successor to former President
Palma has begun, and as 1t Is expected
that the election wiz be held next
June. and the Liberals are sure of sue
cess. the contest for the nomination
will grow warm. American citizens
and many Cubans are egging on the
rivals to precipitate trouble that will
end both parties.
Demonstrations were made Saturday
night in the streets by the faction In
favor of Juan Miguel Gomez for Pres
ident, and later by other Liberals sup
porting Senator Alfredo Zayas, the di-
vision not being solely on the color
line. for both aspirants are white, al
though the negroes are mostly for Co
meZ.
On the other hand, Juan Gualberto
Gomez, the negroes natural leader, Is
for Zayas, who has the support OF the
older Liberals, the younger men SEEM
ing to prefer his rival. They nearly
created riot last night by shouting:
"Death to Estrada Palma and all Mod
crates" Long life to Jose Miguel Co
mez."
Col. Jose Estrampes met them, his
pistol in hand, in front of the 1ngle-
terra, with the cry, Down with the
nipgers." Friends carried him off boa
ily TO save his life. Cries of Death to
Estrampes: we'll have the jobs or
make this Santo Domingo" were set
I'M by the mob, and the police has hard
work to prevent serious trouble.

Washington.-The report on the
work of the medical department OF the
army by Surgeon General r. NJ. O'Reil-
~, Just made public. goes into that ser.
vice during the calendar year 1905, and
also compares the health OF the differ
ent armies Of the world, as far as pos.
sIble.
The highest rate Of admission to the
sick report is held by the Dutch army,
whose rate is 1921 per thousand men,
with the American army ranking sec
ond with 1895, and the Russian army
holding the lowest rate OF 3.iS per
thousand men.
The British army ranks first in
death rate, with 7.13 per thousand
men, the American army having the
next highest, G.2S. The Prussian army
has the lowest rate, per thousand
men.
An important factor in judging the
relative healthfulness OF the different
armies Is the average duration of each
case Of sickness, the American army.
according to their standard, exceeding
all others except the Dutch and Ba-
yarian.
The total number OF admissions to
the sick report during the year was
1912, equal to an admission rate Of
1,295.97 per thousand men, compared
with 1.35i.S9 for the previous year and
1,093.0l for the sexennial period from
1898 to 1908.
The death rate was also much bet
ter than for the previous year, there
being SGS deaths from all causes, an
equivalent to 6.2S per thousand. as
compared with CTS for the previous
year.
AS n cause of death tuberculosis led
with n rate OF .GS, slight increase as
compared with the previous year.
Pneumonia was second, rate 80.
In a chapter devoted to recruiting.
the report shows that as a result of
the reduction of the minimum age for
enlistment from twenty-one years to
eighteen, there resulted an enlistment
of 1870 men under twenty years Of
age.
Speaking Of the health Of the troops
In the Philippines. the report says
that all the rates, except the death
rate from disease, were lower than in
1904. tuberculosis alone caused nearly
fifty per cent. of the discharges and
more than twenty per cent. of the
deaths from disease.
Surgeon General O'Reilly states that
the medical department is very badly
In need of officers and that unless Con-
gress comes to its assistance 1t will be
impossible for the department to reach
in high degree of efficiency or to es-
cape lamentable breakdown on the
occurrence of war.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
Alcxander's Store Broken Into Satur
day Night.

An attempt was made Saturday
night to burglarize the Alexander de-
partment store, and that the plans
were not carried out was due to the
fact that John Wallace, one of the
statesmen, was in the store at late
hour.
According to Mr.. Wallace he was
in the store between 9 and 10 o'clock,
for the purpose of showing a lady a
skirt. The two were in the balcony
of the store when someone was heard
to pass through the door leading from
the grocery to the dry goods depart
ment. At the time Mr.. Wallace be-
lieved II was one of the grocery en-
ployes, but on investigation found that
entrance had been secured through
the rear door and that the burglar
had evidently been frightened away on
learning that the store was not de-
serted.
