Infant Mortality
 In Germany Is G
 Reported Lower

Amsterdam, March 23.--The health of the German people is surprisingly good and infant mortality is lower than in peace times, according to Vice Chancellor Helfferich. The Vice Chancellor is quoted by a, Berlin des- patch to Reuters as saying in speech before the Reichstag:
 "Our fears regarding the possible effects of "a restricted food supply are unfounded. Moreover the health of the people is surprisingly good and infant mortality lower than in peace times. Great Britain's efforts with the blow prove the importance she attach es to the submarine war. Her i'm ports will be further restricted by our submarines.
 We already have taken measures for the proper production and distri- button of raw materials after the war and in regard to rebuilding our mer- canti1e fleet negotiations are proceed ing with the, shipowners. Despite the Paris conference, we shall renew eco homie relations with foreign countries after the war"

PLOT REVEALED
 T0FREE GOMEZ
 IN PENITENTIARY
Note In Sandwich Discloses Attempted Jail
 Delivery.

! Havana, March 23.-Many arrests have been made and more are expected following the disclosure of a plot to deliver Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez and his staff from the penitentiary here It is rumored in some quarters that the plot was to be the signal for a fresh outbreak of the revolution. 1 The plot was uncovered under dra-
 matic circumstances. As Senorita
 Eloisa Alcazar Whales, a beautiful
 Spanish woman, was delivering bas- ket of sandwiches to one of the guards in the prison a member of the secret police became suspicious and inter- cepted her. In one of the sandwiches was not revealing the entire con- spiracy, was found.
 The plot called for the treachery of
 several of the guards and turnkeys.
 These have been arrested. Through them Gen. Gomez, his son-in- law and
 others of his staff were to be hurried to the La Merced plantation, a short distance from the prison. There d band of revolutionists heavily armed were to be waiting and were to con- vey the fugitives to the coast, where they could board a vessel for the Uni ted States.
 Governmen troops have been sent to the La Merced plantation and will probably make the band waiting there prisoners today By questioning Sen orita Whales closely, the police have
 involved Manuel Vasquez, principal 1 turnkey in the prison, and a score of others. The guard about Gomez has been doubled.
 The losses to sugar plantations dur ing the recent revolution have been | discovered to total an enormous fig i ure. It is estimated that $50,0O0,OO0
 worth of sugar has been destroyed to
 date. This is said to be a conserva- tive figure, and in other quarters the | damage is placed much higher. In burnins the fields of eight plan tations the loss of 5,0O0,0O0
 pounds of cane has been reported Su-
 gar growers figure this in arrobas
 which they place at 55,000,0OO. The
 average yield from 55,000,OO0 arrobas
 of cane would be 9O,000 tons of sugar, | or 630,00O bags.
