"One of the best ways for a beginner
to begin IS by buying a flock OF day-old
chicks. for which he should pay 10 to
20 cents each Il he is stocking his Sxs
foot house he had better buy 30 chicks.
A few will die, though the loss should

ANOTHER BOLD KILL
ING STIRS UP CUBA
Jose Fernandez, Prominent Liberal Pol
itician, Murdered By Special
Policeman at Cienfuegos.

Havana, April l5.-Jose Fernandez, a
prominent liberal politician and known
throughout Cuba as Chichi Fernando
was shot and killed yesterday after
noon in the principal cafe at Cienfuegos.
The shooting marks the first stage of
the vendetta provoked by the assasslna
tion Saturday of Ceferino A. Mendez,
who recently was elected conservative
mayor of Cienfuegos. Mendez was way
laid in the street of Cienfuegos and
riddled with bullets.
The assassin of Fernandez was a spe-
cal policeman, Eustagnio ordonez, who
was attached to the office of the late
mayor. Finding Fernandez sitting in
the cafe with party of friends, Or
donez without warning fred all the
chambers of his revolver at him. Four
of the bullets took effect Ordonez was
arrested but refused to make state
ment as to his reasons for shooting
Fernandez.
The city of Cienfuegos was thrown
into a state of intense excitement as
result of the tragedy. All the stores
were closed and strong forces of police
and rurales last night were patrolling
the streets. The general belief here is
that more political assassinations are
imminent.
When the news of the killing of Fer
nandez reached Havana the secretary
of the interior ordered the commanders
of the detachments of troops and rural
guardsmen in the province of Santa
Clara to be prepared to proceed to Glen
fuegos at moments notice.
Senior Ferrara, speaker of the House
of Representatives, who was presiding
over liberal caucus when word was
received of the assassination of Fernan-
dez, Immediately ordered an adjourn
ment, declaring that there now was no
guarantee for the lives of liberals and
that their only alternative was to re-
tire from politics or begin revolu-
tion.
The assassin of Mayor Mendez, a po-
liceman named Campos, was arrested
Sunday night. He declared he killed
the mayor because he had refused TO
authorize the payment of his back sal
ary. This excuse, however, is regarded |
as a mere subterfuge. Campos, it is
charged by the authorities, was hiros |
to commit the murder by partisans OF
Jose Fernandez. who was defeated in |
the race for the mayoralty of Cieu-
fuegos.
The secretary of the interior in a
statement issued last night said the gov
ernment was fully determined TO pre-
serve order in Cienfuegos no matter
what the cost.
