loom of the department heads are aklr
mlahlng. and there Is some alarm at the
renewed talk of a movement to abolish the
labor bureau and oil Inspection depart
ments which have served a lnecure for
politician.
The extraordinary agitation over the rT
enue law and the many promises of
rconomy made throughout the campaign,
together with the prospect ot more trouble
unless economy can be secured, have all
tended to create an atmosphere new to
Nebraska legislatures. There has been
much .scoffing at the talk of cutting ap
propriation, but official whose salaries
hang in the balance and who have sought
assurance from member regard It a an
immensely practical Issue of present Im
portance. Members of the South Platte faction are
beginning to adopt a more conciliatory at

Prosperity at Lincoln.
There are fewer case of need among
the poor ijeople.of Llucmn than there have
been' tor yearoV if the demand fof piibllo
assistance are any criterion. County Com
missioner Kenyon spent the entire day at
his office In anticipation of the usual de
mands fof Christmas relief, but failed to
have a single caller. The recent cold spell
brought a few request for relief, but the
number 1 much below the average for
past seasons. At the various charitable in
stitutions about the city there waa much
good cheer for the inmate. Contributions
of table delicacies, meat ana otner xooa
came from all sources. One Sunday school
class contributed sixty bags of candy for
the Juvenile unfortunate at Tabltha home.
Grocers and meat dealers also contrib
uted largely. y
t Heavy Sleet.
Today a . sleeUtorm, accompanied by a
lieavy wind, made life unpleasant for
pedestrians. The asphalt treet downtown
have been the cause of many petty dis
asters. A twenty-flve-mlle wind from the
northwest has added to the discomforts
of outdoor traffic. A light dry snow fell
during the afternoon, without relieving the
danger underfoot.
Most of the store In the city were close
during the afternoon In order to give their
employe a half holiday. During the morn
ing delivery wagon were busy on the
rtreet distributing belated Christmas gifts,
while clerks were kept busy exchanging
gift to satisfy recipients.
The postofflce and other public buildings,
together with the bunks, observed the day
a a holiday. State Superintendent Fowler
is conducting an examination for state
teachers' certificates at his office and for
that reason was obliged to keep tpen house.

city, disappeared and grave doubt were
entertained as to his whereabouts. Young

of the city and it was even hinted that
his employer had made away with him.
Officers searched the farm premises In a
hope that the body might be found If
there had been any foul play or If he had
been accidentally killed. Trainmen on the
westlHiund Burlington freight train were of
the opinion the young man took passage
with them to Itockford, in Gage county.
Yesterday the young man returned to the
city. He had been working on a Gage

that his parents and the officers had been
uneasy as to his whereabouts. lie offered
no excuse for leaving without any notice
either to his employer or to hi parent.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Scnor Que-sada.
the Cuban minister, in view of reports that
yellow fever was beginning again to ob
tain a foothold In Cuba and that the Cuban
government wa not vigorously enforcing
sanitary precautions, tonight gave out the
following official statement:
The rate of mortality In the Island of
Cuba has ateadilv decreased since the es
tablishment of the republic. From official
data the annual deatii rate In the last four
months has been In the district of Havana
aa follow:
August, 19.42; September. 1R.24: October,
17.81, and November. Kf per l.n), and for
the whole Inland, 15.51, 15. 4n 13.40 and 14 re
8ectively. Thin compares most favorably
with the best showings of the stales of
the United State and the countries of Eu
rope, and la due not only to our splendid
climate, but to the conscientious efforts of
the Central Sanitary department of Cuba.
o Epidemic of Any Kind.
There has been no epidemic of quarantln.
able diseases). Yellow fever, smallpox,
cholera and the plague, have not developed
In Cuba since the proclamation of the re
public. Neither of the cases of yellow fever
at runu Le eat, in uciooer ann noirmner,
has propagated beyond the original places.
It is true that owing to the financial In
ability of certain municipalities, brought
almut by the low pri-i for staple pniducts.
they have been unablo to do as much as
they would ltke for water supply. Mret
cleaning, pavement and sewers, hut in no
wise has this caused yellow fever, which
has not broken out In any of the ports
of the towns. Havana has asked several
times for large sums for public Improve
ments, and to help the municipalities! only
a few days ago an appropriation of $1ii.
ono for immediate use was passwl by the
House of Representative, the Senate
amending the bill by Increasing the amount
threefold. and as soon as Congress reas
sembles in January there will be nmple
means to attend to all sanitary require
ments. Cuba is a nation governed hy a
constitution, and without the action of
Congress no money can be disbursed by
the executive. Yet. ss evidence of how
anxious are the inhabitants to maintain
the work of sanitation, the Instance of
Guantanamo may be cited, where a week
ago the people met and subscribed evernl
thousand dollars for street cleaning, etc.
Doing Ita Fnll Doty.
The government of Cuba Is doing -Its full
duty in the matter and Intends to continue
Improving the condition of all the towns,
which can now be compared without any
disadvantage with those of any other coun
try. Cuba thua far tias shown that it is
protecting ita neighbors efficiently and
that Its eanltary officers aro fully able to
meet any emergtney and court any scien
tific investigation carried on In good faith.

his inquiry In regard to tha recent upris

MANILA, Dec. 2t, 1904. Secretary of War.
Washington, D. C With reference to your
telegram of 21t last. I regret to say that
General Corbin'a report ot attack on and
Iocs of detachments of scouts at Ora and
Dolores Is correct Palajanes have of late
left weet and north sides of Samar and
became active on east coast, which is prac
tically without harbor and very difficult
of access during prevalence of the exist
ing monaoon. Orders were given some time
since to strengthen all detachment on the
east coast, but unfortunately this waa de
layed by wreck and losa of coast guard boat
carrying a hundred or more of the con
atabulary. The men were eaved, but the
delay In sending another coast guard boat
to the rescue resulted in leaving the small
detachments at Oras and Dolores Isolated
and the coneequent loss. All east coast
station have been heavily reinforced and
we are tlll sending men In by my direc
