Rowing Armed Bands.

While tranquility prevails generally
in Cuba, reports received in Havana
show the existence of rowing armed
bands at various places. At Guines
armed ex-rebels are lowering in the
outskirts of the town and declare that
they fear To enter because of alleged
threats of persecution by the police.
At San Domingo bands of armed
negroes, eX.rebels, dissatisfied with
the terms of peace. threaten TO com
nit depredations, but are overawed by
the garrison, which consists of 20 Unit
ed States marines. In the vicinity of
Cienfugos armed bands are reported
TO be engaged in depredations. 4 band
of 80 mounted negroes, the members
of which call themselves insurgents,
is rowing about the country near La
jas.
a delegation Of six liberal members
of the provisional council today visited
Gov. Magoon and announced that they
would attend no further meetings of
the council because the moderate
members of the body were illegally
seated at the last election. Gov. Ma
COON. however, argued with the dis
gruntled councilmen and induced all
OF them to reconsider their decision
and agree TO continue to serve.

Many COMPLAINTS.

Many complaints have been made TO
Gov. Magoon by liberals and mod
crates that the militia. on the one
hand, and the rebels on the other, have
not given up all their arms. None of
these complaints is substantiatod by
actual proofs. The liberals also com
plain against the acts of certain
mayors and the police. Gov. Magoon.
who is having the complaints investi-
gated by Americans. is surprised that
the complaints are not greater than
they are. In case charges are proved
against the mayors the provincial gov
errors will act. Charges have been
made against the governor of Pinar del
Rio, and If these prove true Gov. Ma
COON himself will have to act.

the county has spent the money for.
Just the reason for the request is

The supervisors ordered the work

both were taken to their beds, Hobbs

Lawson gave up the struggle. Hobbs

Curacao is an island off the north

that no treaty exists between Cuba and

Is There a Coal Combine?

Developments during the past few
days have raised the question In the
mands Of some whether the govern
ment Is not collecting evidence for
the purpose OF beginning prosecutions
against the anthracite coal trust for
violation OF the antitrust law; or the
railroads for violation of the new rate
bill; one or both.
The visits of mysterious gentleman
to several towns in Michigan has
raised this question. This man, whose
name is said Ia be Reynold or Wyeth
he Is understood TO have gone by
both namcs-has kept his movements
secret. He did not register at any of
the hotels in towns where he stopped.
But he has quietly been asking ques-
tons about the coal business. II would
never have been known that any such
man was making the rounds had not n
man who was formerly in the coal bust
ness in one of these cities given 1t

Reynolds, If that Is his name, was in
Kalamazoo; but 1t has been impossible
tn find him or to learn anything about
his movements while he was there. He
is now said To be in Grand Rapids.
Previous To coming TO Kalamazoo, he
was in Battle Creek.

about the coal business, conditions
which indicate that the coal barons of

, In these days, when families are
moving from one place to another in
the hope of lettering themselves, It Is
interesting to read of an aged woman
who died in New England town in
the same house and in the same room
in which she was born. For the better
part of century she had been active
in the kindly Christian work of the vii
lage, and had come TO be looked upon
as one of its institutions. Families
which have an old homestead that has
been in the family for generation after
generation have a possession worth
more than dollars and cents, as every
member Of an itinerant family will
testify.

The greater safety of alcohol. as
compared with gasoline for CONNER

will not ignite from pure radiated
heat as gasoline does; that water will
extinguish burning alcohol while IL

that the flames Of burning alcohol ra
