Two Questions Menace COntIn.

Havana. SEPT lG.-it IS folt generally
here that cuba is approaching 80 crisis
in its history as republic. Two ser!ous
questions occupy the public mind: Can
cuba survive the present state Of her
finances? can she hold an honest aud
orderly election Tor tho Presidency. with
a loyal submission OF the defeated party
10 the VIII of the majority?
That the Treasury is empty. that the
last dollar Of the 5l6.jDoo'0 Speycr loan
has been spent, Will, the work Of sewer
ing and paving Havana, which was tn"
principal purpose for which the plan was
authorized by the United States. is not
only not half finished. but IN danger OF
Interruption. n not Of abandonment; that
the government IS at it's wits end 10 ind
money To- meet its vast expenditure.
while the receipts from the custom house
and the lottery have reached their lowest
point all this rs asserted by the enemies
OF the government, and most o! Il Is
frankly admitted by all. Everywhere il
is asked. how long can this state Of al
fairs continue?
Last month the government deiaultcd
for the first time on the account due TO

Extraordinary Effort Made.

There has been much speculation as 10
whether the government viii be able 10
satisfy the claims Of the contractors due
toward the end OF this month, but there
ara indications that President Gomez, re-
slizing fully the peril Of another default,
has made an extraordinary effort, and
will be prepared 10 meet the obligation
without delay, and thus tide over the
cr,sis for another month.
The press continues 10 be filled with
nessirnIstic articles bewailing the imam
cial and political perils that beset the

Gomez administration has spent during
ita two and a half years OF power at

orlv hope for Cuba lies In tho cutting
down Of her expenses at least " per cent.
The present aspect Of the political SIT

Trial Postponed.

Atlanta, March 13.-Instead of
being taken to a courtroom for pre-
liminary trial on a charge of shoot
ing her husband, Eugene r. Grace
while he was in bed at their hand
some home in this city on the 9Th OF
Marca, Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace will
spent today in Jail. Postponement
yesterday OF the trial from today until
the 10th of March was due to the
fact that her husband Is not vet con-
sidered to be out Of danger.
Mrs. Grace, accustomed as she has
been to social activities, still bemoans
her isolation. The usual visits Of her
fellow prisoners TO her cell are now
forbidden, and the woman's chief aid
in diverting her mind from the charges
that confront her are magazines.
So far nothing has transpired to lift
the veil of mystery that has hung over
the entire case since Grace was found
with a bullet in his side at his home.
The public appetite, whetted to a
keen edge for more details OF the
shooting, for an unraYeling of the mys-
terry bids fair to remain unsatisfied
until Mrs. Grace appears in Court
confronted by evidence that has been
gathered. She has promised, It is
stated, to make at that time state
ments that she claims will clear up
the case. Just what she meant she re-
fused to say.
Grtce continues to get stronger.
An operation to extract the bullet is
expected soon. Mrs. Grace remains in
the jail. None but her attorneys was
admitted today According to news
paper dispatches from Philadelphia,
Webster Opie, Jr., her blind son by a
former marriage, received letter
from Grace saying that he would be
in Philadelphia "on Sunday" and
would visit him al the institution
where he lives. 1t was dated the day
before the shooting.

HoId.up on Boundary Line.

Sanderson is in Terrell county, one
of the border counties along the Tex
as-Mexican frontier, and on the cas-
tern edge of the big Bend" country,
into which the United States govern
ment has been sending cavalry this
week to do patrol duty. Sanderson
is about forty miles north of the Mex
lean border as the crow flies. At one
point in Terrell county, east of San
derson, the Southern Pacific tracks
pass less than twenty-five miles from
the border. The country in Terrell
and adjoining counties, particularly in
the Big Bend,' is so sparsely settled
that fo1 many miles at stretch, there
is no sign of human habitation, and
the spot selected by the bandits is
ideal for holdups.

board the second section Of the linn
tied and sent on to New York.

TWO TRAIN ROBBERS ARE KILLED
BYEXPRESS MESSENGER IN HOLDUP
when he entered the Wells-Fargo EN-

when he entered the Wells Fargo EN-
ploy.
AT Sanderson, where the county au-
thorities took charge of the bandits
bodies, they were still unidentified up
to late hour today. So far as
known, there is no reason to connect
the attempted hold-up with any of
the recent border disturbances.
Jollied One Robber.
Wher Trousdale, in attempting to
Jolly the bandit, told him he was
not getting fighting wages and offered
to ..ssist him in searching the ex,.
press car, the bandit said: "You boys
are going to have to help US carry
this stuff across the river (the Rio
Grande river)."
Trousdale thereupon showed small
package with his foot, telling the ban
dit 1t was worth more than all the
stuff he had. Off his guard for an in
slant. the robber stopped to pick up
this package and quick as a flash,
Trousdale Drained him.
AS the other bandit unsuspectingly
appr oached the car where his COM
panion lay dead, he called: Frank
First Shot Did Work.
AS he spoke he stepped into the
lighted mail car and, not finding Frank
there, started to leave the mail car,
going toward the express car. Trous-
dale lad turned the lights out in the
expr ess car, and as the bandits form
appeared in the lighted open door of
the mail car he opened fire with the
dead bandits rifle. The first bullet
struck the robber in the left temple
and killed him instantly.
At Sanderson $41 in cash was found
on the body of one of the bandits
also three gold rings. This robber
wore gold ring with an initial "B''
on his left hand. Both were armed
with Mauser rifles. The spot where
the robbery occurred is mountainous
and unsettled and about twenty miles
from the Mexican border.
The bandits intended to escape into
Mexico. Late information this after
noon makes it positively certain that
there was third bandit who held the
horses. The sheriff of Terrell county,
from Sanderson. is out yith a posse
searching for tho third man.

In the post -mortem examination Of
