PALMA IS WAITING
Cuban Government Awaiting Effect of
Presidents Amnesty offer-PaIma's
Son Joins Army and Daughter En-
lists as Nurse.

Havana, Aug. 28.-The enlistment of
suspended until the effect of President
Palma's offer of amnesty to the insur-
gents can be determined. At the palace
confidence was felt that the great body
of the rebels, who have been carried
away with the idea they were to have
a conspicuous part in the overthrow
of the Palma administration, will
seize the present opportunity to return
to lawful pursuits rather than jeopar-
die their liberty by further supporting
whal the government characterizes as
a hopeless cause. Palma's peace ex-
pressions yesterday have made a good
Impression, particularly among busi-
ness men, whose interests are seriously
threatened by the disturbed condition
of affairs. Palma's son has Joined the
army and his daughter has become an
army nurse, and these enlistments have
also had good effect.
Investigation shows that the state
ment made by Senator Dolz, leader of
the moderate party, at the conclusion
of conference with President Palma
at midnight, to the effect that practi-
cally all the insurgent. leaders in con-
sequence, except Pine Guerra, had sig
nified their willingness to disband their
men if all We're positively guaranteed
immunity for their insurrectionary
acts, was an exaggeration. but the i'm
preston is very general today that the
insurgents, with the reception of Guer-
ra, will shortly lay down their arms.
The pay of the artillery men and rural
guards has been raised, officers are
getting a twenty per cent increase,
and privates an increase of fifty per
cent.

NEGRO CONSUL QUITS
G. Jarvis 1owens, Appointed From
Virginia, Resigns as American Con-
sui at GuadeIoupe, French West In
dies-Exasserated Reports Of Elec-
ton Riots Caused Trouble.

Washington, Aug. 2s.-G. Jarvis
Bowens has resigned as American con-
sui at Guadeloupe, French West Indies.
He left the service shortly after the
rioting in Guadeloupe, which caused
him to send alarming reports to the
state department about the dangers
which threatened American interests
in Guadeloupe, French West Indies.
.Bowens reported the situation as seri--
Gus and beyond local control. In con-
sequence of this report, an American
gunboat was sent to the island, to the
displeasure of France, which had war;
ships near Guadeloupe, and was pre-
pared to check the election riots. An
investigation of conditions in Guade-
loupe is said to have shown that the
American consul was not warranted in
making such alarming reports, and this
is believed the cause of his withdraw
al from the service. Bowens is negro
appointed from Virginia.

From nov until the day of the

The next legislature will likely be
asked to make al appropriation for
the erection of a separate hospital for
epleptics. The state board of control
is in favor of it and every superin-
tendent of an insane hospital recon-.
mends it. 1t has been found very dif
ficult to take care of epileptcs in con
nection with insane patients or. in
connection with any other class of
persons and the treatment of the dis
ease is still matter of study, there
being no known remedy and very little
known about the disease. The study
of the disease could best be conducted
i'm separate institution. If the legis-
lature is not asked at this time for this
appropriation it will be only because
there are so many other things to take
the states money that the erection of
a new institution cannot be started
There are two classes of insane pa
tlCIltS III lIC ISSllldi uOSDlldlS
that should be separated from the 9TH
er insane according to the reports of
these institutions that are coming to
the state board OF control. One is the
epileptic insane and the other is the
consumptve insane. Some of the SUI
perintendents recommend that separ-
ate cottages at the insane hospitals
be erected for the consumptive in
sane, while others believe they should
be cared for in a separate institution
also.
The largest appropriation request
thus far to reach the state board Of
control is from the Cherokee insane
hospital where $135,O00 is wanted for
an infirmary.
Adjutant General Thrift is about to
issue an order that members Of the
Iowa National Guard must qualify as
marksmen within the three year term
of their first enlistment or else they
will not be allowed to re-enlist. Gen
eral Thrift is determined to put the
guard on as nearly business basis
as possible The state appropriates
nearly 100000 a year for the benefit
of the guard and General Thrift be-
lieves that the large appropriation is
for some purpose. He believes the
measure of a soldier is his ability to
fight and his ability to fight largely
depends on his ability to shoot
straight. For this reason he is doing
all possible to strip the guard of the
gold tinsel of the parade and drill hall
and get it down to a working basis.
He believes that a great many persons
join the guard because they think 1t
fun to go on the annual encampment
tour and thus get an outing with
their expenses paid and little money
besides. This element in the guard
is small, but with the program that
General Thrift has mapped out it will
become smaller for every company
must get out to target practice. NO
matter how good soldier is at drill
ing about the streets he must shoot and
qualify as a marksfnan.

tress signals were sounded and Cap
tain Simpson, Of the Mackinac, which
was bound down from Mackinac Island
to Detroit, crowded to it's capacity
with passengers, responded with "a
boat. As heavy sea was running,
Simpson decided the quickest and
safest way to take off the score of peo-
pie on the burning boat was to lay
his big steamer alongside. He ac-
cordingly steered the Mackinac to
windward of the burning freighter
and amid great excitement among the
passengers, came alongside the Eddy
and took her crew over the rails Cap
tain Elsey, of the Eddy. was sick in
bed with lumbago and had to be car
ried from his ship to the Mackinac
with his wife and two children. Every
one on the Eddy lost all their possess
sions except the scanty clothing they
had on. This forenoon the Eddy was
still burning. and is off the port Of
Sanilac with two barges standing by
her apparently trying to tow her down
the lake. A large part Of the boat
has been consumed.
