Washington, Aug. 24.-Cuba is en-
listing volunteers and still asserts its
ability to crush the revolutionary
movement in the little republic, ac-
cording to dispatch from Mr.. Sleep
er, the American charge at Havana,
made public today by the state de-
partment. Mr.. Sleeper says the out
break has spread to Santa Clara and
Matanzas provinces. Carlos Mon

insurrection in Santa Clara province
while the movement in Matanzas

patch of Mr.. Sleeper as an indication
that Cuba is fully able to look after
it's own interests and there Is no sug-
gestion Of American interference in
Cuban affairs.

From Peculiar Cause.

Three Oaks Mich, Aug. 24.-The
cause of an epidemic of typhoid fever
among the 1000 inhabitants of this
place was discovered today when a
member of the board of health climbed
to the top of the waterworks stand
pipe and found the dead bodies of sew
eral thousand young sparrows in var
ious stages of decomposition, covering
the surface of the water. Immediate
ly the mayor gave instructions to en-
pity the standpipe scrub and paint it..
Hundreds of sparrows' nests have been
built on a ledge that runs around the
summit of the standpipe and the
young birds are supposed to have fall
lea into.s si1e ta44eevered sta.ldpipe while
trying to fly. The cover made for the
standpipe when it was constructed,
was never put on. There are now
twenty-one cases of typhoid fever in
the town.

Cubans Look to the ).
u. S. for Assistance
THE SITUATION is SOMEWHAT
COMPLICATED.
1t Is Expected That Uncle Sam Will
Step in and Adjust Matters Between
the Government and the Trouble
Makers.

Havana, Aug. 24.-In this hour of
the governments uncertainty many
eyes are turned instinctively to the
United States, not in the expectation
of armed intervention, which the bet
ter informed realize would, except in
the doubtful contingency that Ameri-
can interests were jeopardized, be
quite impossible but with hope that
the good offices of her big neighbor
may through suggestion or influence
be used to restore tranquility in the
republic.
The part that the United States
played in bringing about an end of
hostilities in the far east and more re-
, Gently in the happy termination of the
squabble between Guatemala and San
Salvador has made a lasting impress
/ sion upon the Cuban mind.
The large American commercial in
terests in the island are expected to
exert a strong moral force in support
of law and order.
In the meantime confusion exists as
! to where the lines may be drawn be-
tween the friends of the government
and the malcontents.
The most serious phase of the situa-
tion is the attempt of the disturbers
to make the revolt a party affair.
1t is believed that battle will be
fought near Pinar Del Rio, the capitol
of the province today, if Pine Guerra,
the leader of the insurgents in that vi
cinitV carries ont his evident inten-
tions of marching on that city.
Encouraged by his bloodless success
at San Luis and San Juan, Guerra is
reported to be gathering recruits and
threatening the capitol.
The government has hurried troops
to Pinar Del Rio and will, it, is be-
lieved take the offensive, forcing a fight
with Guerra,if he approaches the city.
A decisive engagement is possible
before night

Have Been Made.

Aberdeen, S. D., Aug. 23.--Another
scene in the Selby- Bangor county seat
fight Is about to be enacted. 1t will

brought by the commissioners of Wal
worth county for $4,000 for the de-
.struction of the Bangor courthouse.

acting under instructions from the
county commissioners, has brought
suit against the fifty men, all of whom
IL is alleged, are responsible for or
participated in the wrecking of the
courthouse and the removal of the
county records from Bangor to Selby
Nearly two years ago Bangor was
selected as the county seat of Wal
worth county at an election. Selby

Gunderson Of Pierre. procured from
Judge Smith at Mitchell, judgment
by alleged default Citizens of sSelby
then went to Bangor, demolished the
courthouse and removed the records to
their town. At the hearing before
Judge Smith. the order was vacated
on showing of facts and this decis-
ion was affirmed by the supreme court
Nothing daunted, Selby then under
took to annex strip of land half a
mile wide and four and one half miles
long, including the town of Bangor,
the object being to keep the county
seat and records. This move was
blocked, however, by H. b. Foster of
Maine, owner of the Bangor townsite,
who applied, through his attorneys
Taubman, Williamson e Herreid of
this city. for an injunction to restrain
Selby from carrying out its annexa-
ton plan. The order Vas granted and
this being Selby's last hope. there was
nothing left to do but to return the
records. Bangor built new court
house and is now the recognized coun-
sty seat, although it is mere village.
And now comes the aftermath The
county commissioners are determined
that the persons guilty of destroying
the old courthouse shall pay for their
wanton destruction Of the building
The case is expected to be heard in
