Cuba Violates Pledges to u. S.

The war department Tuesday made
public a long cabled report from Gov.
Magoon of Cuba, which startled the
medical officers.
1t shows that in the short period
since the withdrawal of the American
government of Intervention and the
presumption of American govern
ment by the Cuban army of pacihca-
of sanitary precautions and an almost
complete disregard of the treaty OBJ
legations under which Cuba was plac-
ed to keep the Island clean and
healthful so that it should not longer
be a source of danger and infection
to the United States and other coun-
tries.
The governors report also dis
closes the fact that the fever in this
last outbreak has not been confined
to the hospital corps men, but has
extended to other soldiers He also
ditions cannot be secured this year in
spite of the most vigorous efforts on
the part of the American authorities,
in which it appears hey received little
support from the native Cuban physi-
clans
Before he left Washington Secre-
tary Taft became seriously concern
ed for the safety of the American
troops and residents in Cuba as the
result of the occurrence of yellow
fever at Cienfuegos. He cabled to
Gov. Magoon request for a full
statement of the conditions and urged
the governor to take every step that
prudence and experience should sug-
gest TO eradicate the disease. Gov
Magoon complied by sending the re-
port.
The report says there are three
cases in town exclusive OF soldiers.
Twelve soldiers contracted the dis
ease, and three of them died All
soldiers contracted the disease in the
hospital No cases have appeared in
soldiers quarters. The report adds:
eff we accept the mosquito doc
trine, we must relieve the local civil
officials from responsibility, except
for failure to secure reports of all
cases of fever or increased temper
azure, for it is practical impossibility
to eliminate the stegomyia from
Cienfuegos until the completion of
waterworks, sewers, pavement, COM
plete drainage of city, and discontin.
uance of use of water containers.

outside of Havana has been ineffec-
tive for years, due to the fact that
sanitation was left to the local au-
thorities and sanitary officials OBJ

ference.

Must Name Babies at Birth.

Indiana babies are up in arms and
mothers and fathers are vowing VEN
geance upon the legislators of the
state. The reason for the unusual
furry which is taking place in the
usual tranquility and quiet of the nur-
sery is the enforcement of a law
passed by the recent legislature, be-
coming effective this month
The law deals with the problem
of naming the baby. The legislature
decreed that babies should be named
on the day of their birth. The title
the youngster is to carry through life
must be filed with the board of health
of the county in which it is born at
the same time that the certificate of
birth is registered.
Failure of the parents to decide the
important question of baby's name
will not be accepted as an excuse. In
such a contingency the attending
physician is bound by law to supply
the cognomen.

The American Government, which
has taken the lead at the Hague peace
conference in endeavoring TO promote
arbitration, will be responsible for
giving The Hague tribunal the most
important case yet submitted to it in
the Newfoundland fisheries dispute.
which undoubtedly will be taken
there as a result of the negotiations
conducted in London between the
Foreign office and the American am
bassador, Whitelaw Reid
In both the Foreign Office and the
embassy diplomatic reserve is main
tanned, but it has been learned f-clu
unquestlonable sources that the long
correspondence between the two gov
ernments made it seem clear that
their contentious could not be har-
monized and had reached an impasse.
Finally. Mr.. Reid. submitted a pro-
posal to submit the dispute to the ar
bitration of The Hague tribunal, hav-
ing the authority of President Roose-
welt and Secretary Root to do so.
After week or two of consideration
the British government accepted the
proposal, and then the, American gov
eminent proposed that for another
year, while the matter was in pro-
cess of arbitration. the fisheries
should be conducted as they were last
year. under the modus vivendi.
There has been delay in concluding
the arrangement. While the British
Government has secured the assent of
Sir Robert Bond, the Newfoundland
premier, to the agreement, Sir Rob-
.ert undoubtedly will be reluctant to
accept the modus vivendi, which he
opposed strongly last season. More
over, there is little doubt that the
agreement will be encouraged and
that the fisheries during the next
season, beginning next week, will be
conducted on the same methods as
the last.

Roosevelt's Speech.

President Roosevelt in his address
Tuesday at the laying of the corner
stone of the Cape Cod Pilgrim Me-
mortal monument at Provincetown,
Mass, reiterated his contempt for the
rich lawbreaker who hides behind
corporate organization to shield him
self from criminal prosecution. He
declared that malefaetors whose
wealth amounts to millions are trying
to wrest the governments powers
from It's proper officers, elected by
the pc ople, or, by financial chicanery,
to brighten the national admiristra-
ton into connivance at wrongdoing
He gave the warning thai so far as
he is concerned, and so long as he is
president, it will be useless for Wall
street or any other interest to at
tempt to stay his hand in the rigid en-
forcement of the law.
The recent sharp decline in the val
tie of securities. he said, was only
part of a general plan to array the
people against the governments poll
icy.
Undesirable citizens" the presi-
dent repeated, were found in the
ranks of the rich as well as at the
head of anarchistic movements. De-
spite this fact. the executive said, the
government would embark on no
campaign of vindictiveness. 1t would
be as useless, he said. to urge this
move on him as it would be to appeal
for mercy for the rich man whose
conviction of crime the government
can obtain.
To strengthen the hands of the adj
ministration the president urged the
enactment of new and revision Of
present legislation

Japan Arranging for Loan.

negotiated that the funds are desired

sions in the Orient under the Mika-
dos rule Just how the islands are TO
change hands, according to the Jap
anese plan is not clear. German
bankers have definitely informed the
Japanese that the financial stringency
makes the floating of the loan impos-
sible at present. in Berlin, that moth
ing can be done before October in
any event and that even then, Ger
mans will not consider a loan to the
Mikado if japanese American war ru-
mors are still in circulation.

Some Animals I Have Known

Some animals quite well,
And I'm no faker when | say
Strange stories / can tell
I've chased Welsh rabbits down a
lane,
Till weary stomach quailed.
And | have bucked the tiger, too,
And had steer that failed.
On grooming horse I've sawed all

With calves I've danced all night,
And often have | sailed a cat
And reached my port all right.
I've seen blind pig lead a man
Along a rocky road,
And | have seen a donkey try
To walk home with a load.
A Wall street lamb once owned a
goat,
A young dear loved a hound:
I've seen a woman have a rat
Above her forehead bound.
But, strange as all these things NAV
seem,
They do not half compare
With that wild monster of THE woods
The dreadful Teddy bear.
There's something Bruin all the

And will be till he's slain.

s25o,ooo Theft From Mail Car.

Three registered mail sacks, con-
tanning currency and negotiable paper
aggregating almost $250,OOO, were
stolen from a Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy mail car between Denver
and Oxford, Neb., Sunday morning
No violence was resorted to by the
thief, the mail pouches being taken
while the clerks in the car slept. The
point at which the robbery was COM
mitted is not known, but is thought to
have been between Akron, Colo, and
Oxford, Neb.
The theft is the most mysterious
with which the train officials or gov
eminent secret service men have had
to cope in many years. They have
added to the mystery by reticence
concerning details known to them
The robbery was not admitted by
them until Tuesday.
The train, known as No. 2, left
Denver at p. m. and arrived in Ok
ford at 7:25 in the morning. 1t is a
through train via Omaha to Chicago,
which it reached at a. m. Tuesday
morning. When it left Denver the
mail car contained seven registered
mail sacks destined for Omaha and
Chicago. AT Oxford the clerks dis
covered that but four were in the car.
The train was held for many minutes
until search was made and tele-
grams were sent to railway and post
al officials. 1t was finally determined
that nothing could be done at the
time and the train proceeded to Oma-
ha, where postal and railway detec-
tives boarded it and started an ex-
laustive investigation.
The clerks admitted that they had
gone to sleep shortly after the train
passed Akron, liz miles from Den
yer. Their work of asserting the or
binary mail had been completed, and
they had taken no especial precau-
tions to guard the mail sacks.
The train makes but six stops in
the 1877 miles between Akron and
Oxford and the clerks were not awak-
ened. When they prepared to take
on some mail at Oxford they discov-
cred the loss of the three sacks. They
have no theory of the robbery save
that some one crept into the car and
hurled the sacks out. dropping off
the train at the next station. Detec-
ives of the railway now are working
along the territory
The clerks declared that the sacks
had been properly transferred and re-
ceipted for at Denver and that there
was no possibility of clerical error
in the failure to account for the
pouches. The postal authorities also
began hasty checking up OF the con-
tents of the missing sacks, which in
Dictated their value to be $25O.OO

in part:
"For years the department has
been distributing camphor tree seeds
and thousands of trees are now
growing throughout the South and
in the Pacific coast states. Two years
ago a serious effort was made to de-
velop the manufacture of camphor
from these trees.
"By Improvements in manufacture
ing processes satisfactory results
have been accomplished and a large
manufacturing concern is now build
ing UP camphor grove of 1000
acres in Florida from which it hopes
it make its camphor. This firm uses
more than 100000 worth of camphor

Again Center of Battle.

Another determined attack has
been made on Casablanca by Moorish
tribesmen with the same result as on
Sunday.
The Moors advanced in a great arc
with the evident intention of enyelop-
ing the city. The warships in the
harbor poured shells on the advanc-
ing horsemen, while the French
troops met them with terrific hail
of shrapnel
In the fighting on Sunday it is es-
timated the Moors lost 1000 men. In
their latest attack the losses sustain
led by them were equally heavy.

1t is doubtful whether the diplo-

ans mission of thirty Moorish nota-
bles, now On its way to Tangier from
Fee, as the object of the mission is
not clearly defined. 1t is understood
that the Moors are coming to sprokest
against the too rapid application OF
the reforms provided for by the Alge-
ciras convention, and the violation of
Moorish territory by foreign troops,
and to ask for stay of fifteen years
to enable the Moroccan government
to institute necessary reforms.
