THE ISSUES IN CUBA.
president Palma Tells Taft and Bacon
That He Will Not Grant
Elections.

Havana.-In the course of a CONVEX
sation Secretary Taft and Assistant
secretary Bacon, the American peace
ENJOYS, had with President Palma at
the palace Wednesday Messrs Taft
ana Bacon subscribed to the senti-
ments set forth in President Roos.,-
velt letter and expressed the hope
that their visit would contribute to the
establishment of peace.
IN reply to questions by Messrs.
laIt and Bacon, President Palma re
viewed the various aspects of the cleo
toral problem in Cuba. Asked whether
the government had taken steps to eff
rect compromise, the President re-
plled in the negative, saying that the
government had limited itself to as
slstlng the efforts of the veterans,
without taking an active part in tns
negotiations.
Secretary Taft then asked if any
Revolutionary demands had been dI.
rectly affected by these negotiations.
President Palma said in reply that the
program of the revolutionists included
the aDoslute annulment of the last cleo
lions and that, if by compromise it
shouid be agreed to hold partially new
elections, he, Palma, would no longer
continue as executive, because his
prestige would suffer, and to do SO
would be a drawback to a constitu-
tional form of government.
Referring TO the efforts being made
to bring about peace, President Palma
said he had left that matter to the po-
ltlcal parties. On receipt of President
| Roosevelts letter the government had
limited itself to suspension of hostili.
| ties. The President added that in his
Judgment Congress should pass an
electoral law which would amply guar
| >htee both parties: also a municipal
| election law under which elections
would be held next January, the gov.
ernment to preserve strict impartial.

Atmy officer Charged With Dishonest,

Manila.-Capt. IRA l.. Frcdenall OF
he quartvrmastcr's department has
hcen charged in the court of first in
s;ance in this city with misappropri-
alton of public funds.
The fling of these charges is the
illumination of extensive investigations
by the insular authorities into an al
lcged series of frauds perpetrated by
members of the uuartermaster's de-
partment in the Philippines. The IN
curry resulted in the discovery of pal
ded pay rolls in quartermaster's shops
md grating III the lease of lighters.
Both officers and civilians are impli-
Gated and courtsmartial will follow the
court proceedings.
Major General Wood continued the
inquiry originally begun by Major Gen
eral Corbin. The result of the investt
cation has heen great saving in
transportation funds and decrease in
graft, such IS the manufacture of furni-
ture, etc. in the shops for the private
use of officers and civilians.
High officials in the army and gov
srnment are So id to have been the Oen-

SCOTCH EXPRESS WRECKED.
Jumps Off Bridge, Causing Death Of
Several People.

London-Thc crowded Scotch eX
press train on the Great Northern rail
way, leaving London Wednesday night

The train should have stopped al
irantham, but failed to do so. Shortly
litter passing the station the train left

dashed over the embankment, the en-
zine turning turtle. Several coaches

THE HONG KONG TYPHooN.
Reported That Thousands Perished-
Scores of Vessels Wrecked.

Manila.-Latest advices from Hong
Kong state that 5000 lives were lost
during the typhoon and that the dam
age to property, public and private
will amount to millions of dollars.
Twelve vessels were sunk, twenty
four were stranded, seven were dam
aged and one-half of the native craft
in port were sunk.
The shipping trade has been para
lyzed through lack of lighters.
Hong Kong-The typhoon which
swept this port destroying great
number of vessels and causing much
loss of life, was of a local nature. 1t
came suddenly and without warning.
The observatory had predicted moder-
ate winds. Half an hour after the gun
signal had been fired the storm was at
it's height 1t lasted two hours.
Most of the damage done was
wrought on the Kowloon peninsula.
The losses are estimated at several
million dollars. Oven one thousand
sampans and junks are missing from
Hong Kong alone. Wharves were swept
away and houses collapsed. The mill
tary barracks are in ruins.
The harbor is strewn with wreckage
thrown upon the shore. Hundreds OF
Chinese boatmen and their families
were saved by the bravery of the po
lice and civilians, but several thousand
of the Chinese water dwellers must
have perished, many within a short
distance of the shore. The losses in
lives and property among the Chinese
were appalling. To-day the police sta
tions of Kong Kong are surrounded by
Chinese identifying their dead. The
families of the Hong Kong boatmen
live night and day on the sampans
and thousands of these people are now
homeless.
Many valuable steel lighters have
been lost. Some of them were hurled
ashore. Channels will have to be dug
to permit some of the vessels ashore to
be refloated. The force of the wind
and waves was such that some vessels
were stranded almost high and dry.

All Depends On Character.

Obtaining an education or winning
success in any field is a question oi
internal energy, of enthusiasm, or OF
unfoldment of power, and is the de
velopment of push and determination
rather than the result of any external
influences. The people who attribute
their want of success to lack OF
friends to help them on, or their lack
of education to absence of opportuni
ties, are simply exposing their weak
ness of character.-Success.

Black Teeth,

Emigrants from southern italy are,
many of them, disfigured by what is
known as 'black teeth" The teeth of
these persons are affected during the
period of growth~by some gaseous con-
stituent of drinking water, probably
from impregnation with volcanic va
pors. The defect often gives a sinis-
ter look to an otherwise handsome
face, but fortunately does not. it
seems, OBJECT the strength or durabil-
ity of the teeth.

Noted Barber Is Dead.

Portland. Me-, has lost its most
famous barber in the death of John
B. Pike. In his time he shaved Grant.
Sheridan and Garfield. Ben Butler
was almoot fond Of him. Judge Cliff
ford used to spend a morning hour
in the office to have John tell him
the news and save him the trouble of
reading the paper. Blaine and Tom
Reed and Neal Dow were good friends
to the clever barber.

GYPSUM AS A SUBSTITUTE.

A Montrose man who has been ex-
perlmenting with gypsum for some
tlfle with the view of making Il a
practical substitute for lime and ce-
ment now claims 10 have determin-
ed It's practicability and is undertake
ing the wholesale manufacture of II
in a small way.
The manufacture is said to be very
simple reqiring only the crushing and
pulyerizing of the gypsum which
when mixed with water and sand
forms a concrete resembling that
made by use of the well known Port
land cement.
Not long ago Mr.. Kelly completed
dwelling for himself made entirely
out of the product OF his new process
of treating gypsum The walls of
the house were built of fiat stones
bedded in mortar of the gypsum.
and finer grade of sand was used
for the interior walls of the rooms.
One of the greatest advantages this
plaster possesses over the ordinary
plaster is its hardness and durabii-
ity. A hard blow from hammer
instead of shattering it as it would
an ordinary plaster wall. only makes
dent in the gypsum plaster and
NAN wall
In regard to the prospects of sue
cess on the market for the new pro-
duct the North Fork Times of Hot
ehkiss has the following to say:
Mr.. Kelly has rigged up a plant
which will have a capacity of about
ton and half a day He has a
two and half foot dryer operated by
a horse power and will soon put in
another of considerable more ca
pacity. He also has two drying pans
to dry the raw gypsum as it comes
from the beds and is working stead
lily at the manufactory.
Mr.. Kelly Is also experimenting
with the gypsum and the shale which
underlies a considerable portion of
the country. He has assured himself
that he can manufacture a very super
ior tile at a price which will be a
great boon to the people of the valley.
His work In this line will be watched
with a great deal of interest. The
price of lumber and other building
products is simply prohibitive and II
is matter of consolidation to the
valley that Mr.. Kelly has discovered
a process which will make a material
which will render building at cost
where it should be.
