Havana, July 16.-The killing of General Rafael
PoTtuondo at Mayari, almost on the of the
elections, has caused a profound sensation in po-
litica circles throughout the island. and fears are
freely expressed that similar crimes will accompany
the progress OF the campaign
While the disposition is general TO attribute the
murder TO political motives, because Agulera who
did the stabbng, is q brother of the candidate for
strongly opposed, there is some reason to believe
that the assassin is mentally irresponsible or was
actuated only by motives OF personal animosity
AguIera was convicted al the time of the first
American intervention OF the murder of his wife
and his mother law but was pardoned by Cen
Aral Wood.

FRENCH REVOLUTION
 SAID 10 BE IMMINENT
On the Other Hand It Is Pointed Out That Labor Troubles Quickly Sub side.

Paris, Aug. 1.-Excitement among labor leaders and a statement in Paris over tine outcome of the recent trouble at VigneauX, that the government is to punish such demonstrations, is gen. erally recognized as reaching a fever ish, if not a dangerous state of unrest. Whether the situation will grow worse is hard to say, but it should be re called that the history of French labor movements generally shows that the turbulence quickly dies out.
 However, at this moment the revo- lutionary branch of the unionists is worked up to an unusuar pitch on ac- count of the shooting down by troops at VigneauX of the demonstrators and the arrest of various labor leaders.
 Government is preparing to prevent outbreaks on Sunday and Monday when the second strike called by the federation of labor, is due to take ef- feet. Additional arrests of labor leaders are planned

Mysterious Death of Young
 San franciscan
At Any Rate He Was Found Poisoned In a Hack.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-Vernal Re- walk, the IS year old son of Albert Revalk, died this afternoon in the harbor emergency hospital from the effects of poison, varioUsly reported to be cyanide of ptassium and choral hydrate. Young Revalk's father be- lieved that his son was murdered while the police express the opinion that he committed suicide, though they admit the absence of any ap- parent motive.
 Last evening Revalk attended a reception in his honor at a private residence. After bidding his friends good night he accompanied one of the young ladies home. He was next seen in a Fillmore street saloon from which place he telephOned his father that he would not be home for the night, and asked permission to stay away which was given. Revalk then telephoned three college friends and asked them to meet him at the saloon. After waiting a considerable length of time he departed, his friends having disappointed him.
 About o'clock in the morning he was seen at another saloon on Fill
 more street, at which place he asked the bartender for a pint bottle of a certain mineral water. The bartend- CT informed Revalk that the brand he asked for came only in quart bottles. After purchasing a bottle of the water he went outside and stood on the street curb for ten or fifteen minutes with the bottle un- der his arm. He then inquired of a hackman standing by the fare to the ferry and upon being told that it was $2.5O he told him to drive him there and insited that the hackman take the money in advance.
 On reaching McAllester and Fill more streets Revalk called to the driver to mail a letter which he hand ed to him which was addressed to Leland Sparks, son of the late Gov. Sparks of Nevada. Nothing further was heard by the hackman from his passenger until the Ferry was reach ed when the driver called him and receiving no reply jumped down and opened the door. He found Revalk covered with froth. The hackman immediately drove to the harbOr hos pital where Revalk died within five minutes. On examining the inside of the hack he found that the large quantity of mineral water Revalk hadpurchased had been drank. Young Revalk was to have sailed for Manila Wednesday to take a position in the government service. It is be- lieved that he became Respondent at the thought of leaving home.

 The Americans were easy winners in most of the events in which they competed. No records were broken except the Irish-American A. C., with 16S feet, 21A inches. They only real ly close contests were the 220 yard dash which Cloughen of the Iowa A. c. lost by a few inches after a sharp struggle. The four mile run was won by George V. BOnhagen, I. A. A.

Hot Springs, Aug 1.-"Speakins generally, l believe the greatest ques- ton now before the American people is the improvement of the administra- ton justice, civil and criminal, both in the matter of prompt despatch and the cheapening of its use"
 Judge Taft made this statement to- day in discussing the address he would deliver here on Thursday to the Virginia bar association, arrangements for which are being made by President Wyndham Meredith, of the association.
 Tt is a difficult problem" he added, 'very difficult indeed, to make the administration of justice equal to the poor and the rich. The difficulty is the advantage the wealthy man has in the employment of counsel and the fact that he is able to stand the eX- pense of litigation while the poor man can not"
 There seems to be no absolute remedy. The only thing you can do is to render the administration of justice as prompt as possible. The evil is in the delay more than anything. only one of the great demagogic argu- ments in favor of it, is the demagogic argument, I have heard so often in legislatures when the proposition has been made to have only appeals in cases involving less than $500, that you deny the poor man the right to obtain a judgment in the supreme court of the United States2 There was never a more specious argument.
 "A wealthy man can afford to wait for years for $500, and can afford to carry the case on. but the poor man

Cruz and Mazatlan by the China Com mercial company and have been trans ferred to the Pacific coast steamer Curacao and taken to Ensenada, by boat.
 Another favorite route of entry is by Jaurez and Fl Paso.
