ASSASSINATION STIRS CUBA.
Clash Feared at Cienfuegos on Day
of Fernandez Funeral.

HAVANA, April 15.-Feeling over the
assassination yesterday of ''Chichf' Fer
nandez, the liberal politician. in Glen
fuegos continued to run high today The
liberals are doing their utmost to make
political capital out of the crime, declar-
ing the administration is responsible. and
renewing their demands for the dismissal
of Maj. Gen. Jose J. Monteagudo, COM
mander-in- chief of the army.
During the last election Monteagudo
was accused of using the regular troops
and rural guards to intimidate liberal
voters. The liberals intimate that II their
demands are not met their only recourse
Is to start a revolution.
Cienfuegos is quiet, owing to the ar
rival of considerable attachments of
troops. Liberal leaders left for Glen
fuegos today to attend the funeral of
Fernandez, and it is feared serious dis
orders may occur at that time.

COLLEGE SUFFERS LOSS.
Poultry Laboratory, Incubators and
Breeders Destroyed by Fire.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
HYATTSVILLE, Nd, April Is. 1913.
The poultry laboratory building, con-
tanning incubators, breeders and other
appliances used in the poultry expert
mental work at the Maryland Agricul-
tural College. was burned last night The
fire started above the incubator room pre-
sumably from overheated incubators, and
1t required strenuous efforts on the part
of the employees of the college and sta
ton and the students to prevent the
flames from spreading to adjacent build
ings. among which is the home of the
president of the institution.
Shortly after the fire broke out the oil
tank used in heating the incubators ex-
ploded, blowing off the roof of the build
ing. A piece of slate struck r. S. Allen,
an employee of the experiment station, in
ficting a painful scalp wound. He was
taken to the college hospital and treated
by DIR. Thomas E. Latimer Of Hyatts-
Vile.
The incubators destroyed contained be-
tween 1850 and 1900 eggs, which would
have Matched in about a week. Valuable
records and notes of Prof. r. H. Waite.
poultryman, collected during the past
four years, were destroyed.
The loss is estimated at $4,000. The
plant will be rebuilt at once.

THE LONDON MARKET.

LONDON. April 15.-Money was a
shade dearer and discount rates were
weak today.
The stock market was quiet and gem
orally easier on profit taking owing to the
absence of the expected Improvement
IN the Balkan situation. The selling
made inroads into the recent advance in
speculative issues and de Beers and rub
Der shares were weak features. Consols,
giit-edsed securities and home rails con-
iinued firm on the weakness in discounts
and the prospects. of lower bank rate.
American securities opened quiet and
steady. During the forenoon prices ad-
vanced from Is to q on light covering
but later New York selling caused the
market to sag and close easy.

noon he was watched by thousands;
automobilists. pedestrians. shoppers,
base ball fans. Office people on their
way to the dairy lunchrooms, and
