provisional government officials are
not in accord with this view French
interests in Cuba are quite large and
what France thinks may have consid-
cradle effect.
It Is learned further that certain
powerful British interests recently
asked the foreign office in London to
request permission from the United
States to station three British war
ships in Cuban waters when the Amer
leans leave. Great Britain, however,
is not likely to make any such en-
barrassing request, because the an
swer probably would be that America
is able to attend to her own affairs
and, being responsible for Cubas con
duct, she would preserve order and
protect property as at present. How.
ever, these two instances show the
feeling Of disquietude. It is certain
that the Americans will remain here

PEASANTS FOUGHT BRAVELY
Repeatedly Face Artillery Fire
With Fearful Results.

Bucharest, Roumania, April 6-The
determined bravery of the insurgent
peasantry in the recent fighting is
illustrated by story of the battle of
Balaneshti, near Craiova, published in
local newspaper. The insurgents,
who numbered 10000, armed with
guns, axes, knives and scythes and
accompanied by their wives and chill
dren, made a desperate attack on a
body of Roumanian infantry and artil-
lery. The latter opened fire, killing
large numbers of the peasants, who,
after an unequal combat, retreated to
village, carrying their dead and dy-
ing. Half an hour later long funeral
procession, headed by priest, issued
from the village, the coffin being fol-
lowed by thousands Of weeping peas
ants. AS they approached the troops
the cOmmandant ordered the mourn
ers to halt, but they pressed on and
were met by volley, which killed or
wounded several of them. After fur
Their fighting the remainder of the
peasants fled, leaving the coffin, which,
when the soldiers examined it, was
found to be empty. A few minutes
later the peasants again attacked the
troops, meeting the same fate. Artil-
lery was then brought into action and
the insurgents were summoned to
evacuate the town within three hours.
The peasants utilized the interval to
unite their forces and made a fourth
assault on the troops, advancing in
the face of the artillery fire and rifle
volleys and getting into hand to hand
conflicts with the soldiers. The peas
ants, however. were defeated in the
end and the houses of the village were
RACED to the ground by the fire of the
field guns

HORSE BREEDING PROFITABLE.
Why High Prices Hold Firm Through

Every day indicatiuos are visloie
which point to the increasing value OF

this past fall, a pair of driving horses,

like fair roadsters able to pull some
weight. changed hands for $500, and
