PALMA TELLS OF REVOLT
SAYS HE COULD HAVE PUT DOWN
REBELLION.
Could Not, However, Prevent Blood
shed or Destruction of Property
Now Living in Retreat.

Manzanillo, Cuba, Jan. 29.-Ex-Pres-
ident Palma gave out an interview
Monday in the remote retreat on the
Cauto river where he is establishing a
home He is now living in a shanty
with his two sons. His wife and
other members of his family are at
Matanzas waiting until Palma can
build for them home. The express
ident has 1000 cattle on the ranch,
and will soon erect house.
Senior Palma in the interview told
of his struggles since 1868 to throw
off the Spanish yoke and obtain per-
manent peace and security for Cuba.
When after years of bloodshed and
sacrifice" he said, 'sthe Cuban people,
with the aid of the United States, set
up the republic, / thought turbulence
was a thing of the past, and long
era of happiness and prosperity was
ahead.
During the four years of my adj
ministration there was peace and con-
fidence Public improvements were
made, foreign capital flowed into the
country to build railways and develop
natural resources. The country S
credit was high and there was mil
lions in the treasury.
..When this position had been at
tanned after such havoc and pFotract-
ed struggle it was painful shock to
see the Cuban people had not the pa
triotism to stand united before the
world, but were fomenting dissension
and starting revolution against their
own government.
with the millions in the treasury
could unquestionably have suppress
ed the revolution, but in doing this /
could not prevent the destruction of
property or the shedding of Cuban
blood by Cubans.
1t was to avert these calamities
that / stood aside to permit the
United States to exercise the right
and duty it had. assumed of preserv-
ing Cuban independence and protect
ing life, property and individual lib
erty."

Margin Between Success and Failure.

Margin Between Success and Failure.
The forces that play upon business
are too vast and complicated for any
mortal to grasp. No doubt there is
law in them, but its arc sweeps far
beyond merely human ken. When
John w. Gates says that all he asks
IS to be right in 81 cases out of hun
dred, he indicates the common ex-
perience. To succeed in business,
says Will Payne in Everybody's, is not
in the least to know what to-morrow's
conditions are going to be. If it were,
there would be no successes, for no.
body can do that. 1t Is to see the
condition as it actually arises and to
move with it courageously. Sometimes
you can't move fast enough. Your
foot is caught in the frog. Then the
incident of failure occurs. In the case
of good business man that means
simply that this particular one of the
forty-odd times when he was wrong
happened to be especially important.
His actual business ability may be
vastly superior to that of host Of
men who never failed.

SIX DIE IN BURNING FACTORY.
Mill at Dover, N. H.. Destroyed with
Loss of Life.

Dover, N. H., Jan. 2S.-At least six
lives were lost Saturday in connec-
ton with the destruction by fire of
Mill No. of the extensive plant of the
Cocheco Manufacturing company, man
ufacturers of cotton goods in this
city. At noon, six hours after the fire
broke out, it was announced that the
overseers of the factory had satisfied
themselves that none of the employees
was missing. At about two o'clock,
however, firemen found in the ruins
the bodies of six boys who had been
employed in the mule room. Nearly
every one of the bodies had been
burned beyond hope of their identifi-
cation. The financial damage is esti-
mated at between $4,000 and $4,000.

sWETTENHAM STEPS OUT
KINGSTON UNDERSTANDS COY.
ERNoR HAS RESIGNED.
People of Ruined City Are Relieved of
Rates and Taxes for Fifteen
Months.

Kingston, Jamaica, Jan. 28.-It is
understood that Gov. Swettenham ten
| dered his resignation to Lord Elgin,
secretary for the colonies, few days
ago in consequence of the Admiral
Davis incident and his inability to
solve the problem created by the
earthquake
On Saturday the governor visited
the temporary Offices of the municipal
council and informed the vice chair.
man, who is acting in the absence OF
Mayor TAFT, who is injured, that the
government had decided to relieve the
people of Kingston from all rates a1d
taxes for period of Is months be
ginning the first of January. This an
nouncement has been received with
qualification by the residents of the
city, who will be encouraged to start
the work of rebuilding as early as
possible.
Most Rev. Enos Nuttall, archbishop
of the West Indies, in an interview
said that the municipal council was
unable to deal with the present ex-
traordinary emergency and should be
abolished and one commissioner with
full powers should be appointed to
govern the city during the period of
reconstruction. He also declared that
in addition to the generous contribu-
tons from the United States, Canada
and elsewhere, it was absolutely nee
essary to obtain an imperial grant and
large imperial loan to rebuild Kings
ton, more particularly in view of the
attitude of the English fire insurance
companies, which have disclaimed all
liability for losses sustained during
the earthquake and fire.
Kingston, jamaica, Jan. 26-The
lack of cooperation on the part of the
central control here is greatly ham,
pering the work of extending relief,
providing shelter for the earthquake
sufferers, pulling down the unsafe
walls and repairing the damaged
buildings, for which Gov. Swettenham
is severely condemned. The Daily
Telegraph in an editorial says:
His excellency is still careering
around the city, poking his nose into
varions corners and attending to petty
details which his subordinates ought
to attend to. The result is that when
prominent officials and other gentle
men in charge of important work call
at headquarters house to consult him
they cannot find the governor. There
is total absence of deliberate, or
ganized movement This is state of
affairs on which the British and
colonial governments cannot congrat-
ulate themselves"

Long and Remarkable Life.

Suffold tells us of a remarkable rec
ord of an old man of his acquaintance
employed by Mr.. William Lodge, Of
Gorieston-on-Sea. This old gentleman
began his working life as farm la
borer II years ago, before Queen Vic
toria came to the throne, and at 81 he
can still drive a pillow as well as most
men of half his years. Almost more
remarkable is the fact that although

THERE are host of petty ailments
i which are the direct result of the
weather.
This is more true of the excessive
heat of summer and the intense cold
Of winter, but is partly true of all
seasons of the year.
Whether it be cold or a cough,
catarrh of the head or bowl complaint,
whether the liver be affected or the
kidneys, the cause is very liable to
be the same.
The weather slightly deranges the
aucous membranes of the organs and
the result is some functional disease.

ELY MINER.
Impure Air,
PETER scHAErEa, Publisher.
MIMI

The Importance of ventilation and OF
q constant supply of fresh air in Hv-
ing-rooms and wherever man abides,
whether sleeping or waking, has often
been mentioned in these columns.
Without air life is impossible, and un-
less that air be moderately pure,
health cannot be maintained, although
it is astonishing, and a proof of the
wonderful adaptation of living beings
to their environment, to note how
great an amount of impure air can be
endured with seeming impunity: There
are two forms of impurity in the air
gaseous and solid. The gases, those
resulting from the exhalations from
the lungs, and in city houses from the
little, unnoticed leaks from the gas
pipes and from defective plumbing, are
the most injurious. For the removal
of these, says New York Weekly, free
ventilation from open windows and
open fireplaces is most efficacious, but
it is of little service in the removal of
the other kind of impurity; that is to
say, the solid particles of matter
dust-which are always floating in the
air of houses as well as in that of the
streets. A beam of sunlight entering
through half-closed. shutter makes
visible this dust, and as one looks with
startled eyes on the beam, which
lights up the floating particles, the
wonder grows that the lungs are not
made solid by this stream of dust in
hailed with every breath. Fortunately,
the nose and the moist lining OF the
air-tubes are designed to filter the air
by arresting these particles before
they can enter the delicate air
chambers of the lungs. They do their
work well, but not perfectly, and the
greater the amount of dust the more
they fail in their functions.

against the walls of the galleries by
the force of the explosion.
An official report given out Monday
evening says the number of dead may
not exceed ,160.
Immediately after the explosion
rescue workers were hurried from all
the adjacent mines and boldly en-
tered the Reden shaft in great mum
bers.
The work of rescue was greatly
hampered by the poisonous gases re-
sulting from the explosion and by a
fierce fire that broke out Immediately
afterwards. During the afternoon the
efforts at rescue had to be suspended
for these reasons, and the workers
had to be ordered out of the mine.
Second Explosion Occurs.
After all the rescuers had reached
daylight, according to one version, a
second terrific defamation was heard
underground. But, according to an
other report many of the rescuers
were still below when the second ex-
plosion occurred, and it is estimated
that the casualty list from the two ex-
plosions reaches total of 800 men.
1t is regarded as certain that the
lowest levels of the mine are com.

are celebrating upon further meas

POST OFFICE SITE
VEXING QUESTION
Don't Know Where to Put
Michigan City's New
Federal Building.

The people of Michigan City are
having a hard time to find a location
for their new federal building and
the treasury department has issued an
ultimatum to the effect that the gov
eminent will not pay more than $4,000
for the site.
A special to the Indianapolis News
from Washington says:
Assistant Secretary Winthrop of the
treasury department today heard John
b. Faulkner of Michigan City, who is
interested in the site for the new fed
eral building for that city, which the
department desires to purchase The
assistant secretary indicated that the
department will not pay more than it
has offered. Mr. Winthrop indicated
to Mr.. Faulkner that hereafter the
treasury department will not select a
postoffice site without consulting the
postoffice department.
This conclusion would seem to be a
wise one. only the department is a lit
tie too late in discovering the point.
Ex-Postmaster General Cortelyou
some time ago discovered this incon-
gruous condition of affairs and COM
mented upon it in one of his reports
