PLEASE CLEWS

Henry Clews OF New York, in his
special letter OF June %, takes the fol-
lowing cheerful view OF the outcome OF
both the presidential nominating con-
Ventions:
The result OF last weeks Republican
convention was a decided setback to
extreme radicalism, and this week the
Democratic convention has acted like
wise. 1t does not mean that as be-
tween conservatism and progressivisnl
the latter has been defeated On the
contrary, il means that not few of the
reforms desired by the people are
shortly to be granted by one party or
the other, since each party has strik-
ing features of resemblance and each is
outbidding the other in the race to catch
votes.
IF the conventions held within the
last two weeks mean anything, they
mean that reforms are to come by evo-
luton and not by revolution. Political
leaders recognize that important
changes are coming; changes that win
benefit the masses and consequently the
nation And they must also recognize
that these changes should be made
gradually; that a sudden or violent
disruption of established institutions
and methods would throw our indus
trial system into chaos to the injury
of all and the benefit of none.
Happily 1.-THE two conventions have
materially cleared the political atmo-
sphere. While the actual results of
the election can not yet be foretold
with certainty, the encouraging fact
remains that extreme radicalism has
received a conspicuous check in both
parties and that the sober second
thought of tho American people is
averse to what would appear to be rev.
dictionary proposals.
An important danger has thus been
removed from business calculations.
Those at the head of Industrial and
commercial affairs win be able to for
mulate plans for the future with re-
newed confidence, and as result we
may expect steady Improvement in
business from now on, unless there
should be an unexpected disaster to
the crops"

CUBAN REVOLT
LEADER Slain

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 2S. ~
Confirmation of the death of General
Estenoz, the Cuban rebel chief, has
been received by the Department of
State and it is believed in Administers
ton circles that the negro revolt is
practically over and that there will
be no further disturbances. The dis
patch to the State Department from
the legation at Havana stated that
General Monteagudo had reported
that the government forces had killed
Estenoz near Songo, while the Consul
at Santiago telegraphed that the rebel
leader was slain yesterday noon in a
battle at Micara, which is between La
Maya and Mayari. 1t was also re-
ported that $50 rebels had been killed.
Reports from Caibarien, Antilla, Ba-
racoa and Cienfuegos were that those
districts were quiet
Information from Mexico today also
indicated that the end of the revolu-
ton in that republic was near. The
Consulate at Salina Cruz reported
there had been less lawlessness there
and similar message came from the
Consulate at Ensenada Consul Dye
at Nogales reported that there were
no disturbances in his district.

RATS
ARE FEARED

With one of the largest cargoes of
coal ever brought 10 the Hawaiian
Islands, the British freighter Kalibia,
from Japan, was boarded by DR..
james, representing the United States
Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service, off the harborl this morning,
and soon after the steamer was or
dered alongside the quarantine wharf.
The Kalibia in command of Cap
tain John Stewart, is said to have
come from an infested port, before
taking on the big supply OF fuel at
Moji, Japan. Nssst
According DR.. Trotter, ordered the
steamer to the quarantine wharf
there to undergo a thorough fumiga
ton with the end in view of a COM
plete determination of rats.
The Kalibia will be under deten-
ton for the remainder of the, day, but
it is predicted that the vessel will be
turned over to the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company late this even
ing or early tomorrow morning, and
be ready for the discharge of the
shipment of $3.50 tons Japanese coal.
According to the official log main
tanned by Captain Stewart, the Ka-
libia sailing from Norfolk, Va, many
months ago, called at Durham, South
Africa, thence proceeded to Calcutta,
and Bombay, India. From there the
freighter visited Singapore and
thence to the Japanese ports for coal
The Federal quarantine authorities
at this port have been advised that
plague exists in several Far Eastern
ports at the present time. DIR. Trot-
ter states that the policy to be pur-
sued will probably call for more or
less fumigatfoh of vessels hailing
from the Orient, while infectious dis
eases prevail there.
s The Kalibfa is a large type of
ocean-going tramp, with length of
40 feet, breadth so feet, and depth 81

Fair Bathers and Big Rats Use Beach

Many bathers, while walking along
the beach. have suddenly stepped into
holes which the rats have dug, and
have been filed with dismay when.
with angry squeal. large gray and
brown rats have turned and snapped
at them.
John J. Morgan, manager Of a com.
pany which is engaged In the work OF
discriminating vermin, stated that 1t
was not an unusual thing for rats to
take up their abode along the lake
shores In summer. The hundreds OF
dead fish which are cast up by the
waves. he said. attract the rats In
large numbers. "The rats burrow In
the cand, at the foot Of the banks, IN
large numbers" said Mr.. Morgan.
"Then. too, the hot weather may have
something to do with the condition.
The rats will swim out In the water IN
hot weather and will also make their
homes in the wet sands along the edge
OF the water"
The rats In many cases are extreme
" large and savage. and threaten To
attack PERSONS who disturb them.
