HAVANA, Jan. 2r. A rumor has been in circulation during- Uio last few days that tho United States will lend $:,H)0,000 to ho applied in part payment of arrears of piy claimed by tlio Cuban holdiery. It hits provoked Home strong t ritieism, ttie argument beiny th;it if the customs were in the handn the Cubans tho first thing would bo lo pay tho Cuban soldiery in full and that therefore the United States holding aiuplo customs receipts as becurity could and should advance more than ,O0O,O(). The executive commit leu of the Cuban assembly makes public a document, the impor tance of which lies in the fact that tho committee should have deemed its publication necessary. Tho following extracts will eivo an idea of its character: "The committee loams that some excitemont prevails because of tho smallno-is of tho eum which it is ro portod the United States will lend for the purpose of paying- Cuban troops. Although tho reports of excitement are exaggerated, tho committee thinks it necessary to recommend to the civil and military authorities con cord and the best dicipline. "As yet it has not been olllcially announced how much the United States will lend or what the manner of payment will be. Tho Cuban assembly commit toe to lay the case before the goneral government will soon return and judgment should be suspended until tho facts are known "This assembly is properly the rep resentative and head of the revolu tionary element. Our duty is fully to examine into tho conditions that faea us and to recommend the course of action to be pursued. We have in tho past wisely directed the action of the people and are fully able to do so. "The people should have confidence in the assembly and obey its rulinss and recommendations. We recom mend quietude and discretion. . We do not see cause for great anxiety. Should there be such the executive committee will fultiill its duty and the lirst meeting of the as-embly will in form tho people of all that is transpir ing, so as to enable them to judge fairly' Incite IConci Worker to Strike. Santiaiio, Jan. 6. Two hundred men who had been engaged in road making in this district went on strike today. They had been receiving $ 1 per day and want $1.25 with rations. It is believed that two men have been guilty of iuciting them to strike and as soon as these are discovered they will be placed under arrest. Unless the strikers return to work tomorrow, as it is expected they will, other labor ers will be employed. The cruiser Brooklyn arrived off Santiago this afternoon, and hove to off Morro castle. Captain Cook, with several other officers, came to the city in tho Brooklyn's launch. The cruiser which had come from Havana pro ceeded at sunset for Key West. Bucket Shops Are Legal. Kansas City, Jan. 26. L ist week stventeen proprietors of "bucket shops,'' "dynamite," stock and race horse pool rooms and the president of the Hoard of Trade were arrested, charged with vioiuting the city ordi nance against betting on any "event." Today Police Judge Hurnham handed down a decision, dismissing the cases. He holds th.it there is no material dif ference between a bucket shop and the H .mi d of Trade and that both come under the ban of the ordinance. He holds, however, that the supreme court has decided that the Hoard of Trade is legal and therefore the bucket shops are legal. ITomotcr With h Career. Kansas City, Jan. 26. Leonard B. Imb.den, assistant cashier of the Planters' bank, and Cashier A. F. Hancock, who were yesterday taken into custody pending an investigation into the affairs of their concern, which was closed by the state authorities, were today taken before tha grand jury and examined. It has not yet been decided what charges will be brought against them. Both men are still det lined at the central station. Imboden, whom, it develop?, comes of one of the best families in the south, has been connected with several finan cial enterprises, lie is credited with attempting to promoto the New Eng land Savings bank at Dallas, Tex.: the penas.,;o Land and Cattle compmy at Koswell, M.; tho Mechanics' Sav ings bank, with l,0rt0,C00 capital, at Dallas and the National Bank of Com merce at Fort Worth. His prospectus invariably bore the names of well known, sound financial institutions of different parts of the country and the idea conveyed was that these institu tions were backing him. Several years ago Imboden was at the head of the Imboden-Uamilton Investment com pany of Kansas and loaned money all over the state on real estate. Then he purchased thousand of acres of Texas land at boom prices. The prices of this land shrunk and his money was Union Veteran Aged 104.

We tried a great many remedies without giving relief. She tried Foley 's Honey and Tar which cured her. She has never been troubled with a cough since. 25c. F. C Fricko & Co. Feedlu; tha "Cratbnrs." At a party given by a lady an "extra" maid was engaged to assist the regular servant in passing tea and cake. The "extra hand," to whom this duty was entirely new, became rather excited, and bustled to and fro with more energy than grace. When about to retire, after going the round of the room, she suddenly stopped, and pointing- to a portion of the company in an adjoining apartment, innocently inquired of the regular housemaid, loudly enough for the whole company to hear: "Hev yeez fed them crathurs over there yet?" La Grippe is again epidemic. Kvery precaution should be taken to avoid it. Its specific cure is One Minute Cough Cure. A. J. Shcperd, publisher Agri cultural Journal and Advertiser, Elden Mo., says: "ISo one will be disappointed in using One Minute Cough Cure for Li Gr ippe.'" Pleas ant to take, quick to act. P. G. Fricke & Co. Typhoid Germs. The origin of typhoid fever germs is being widely discussed just now, both in this country and in England. It seems to be assumed that to check the spread of the fever it will be enough to kill the germs which are bred in the human system. It is held by some, however, that typhoid germs are liable to develop wherever animal matter decays at a certain temperature. There seems to be a relation between their production and that of the putrefactive poisons called "ptomaines," which frequently appear in animal food tnat has been allowed to become stale. It ha3 been shown that the typhoid germs breed in bleached" oysters, and it is not at all unlikely that game which has become "high" is even more suitable for their production. Dtwijr Flower.

A Very Modest Hero. "Why Is it that Lieutenant Ragsley never mentions his war experience? Do you suppose he showed the white feather or did something else that he wants to keep quiet?" "Oh, he was a hero, but he doesn't want the peo ple to find out about it. He's afraid they'll make a fuss over him, and he hates anything of that kind. But the fact is, he held one of those war cor respondent's notes while the latter rushed up to a fort that was full of Spaniards and compelled them to sur render."

Many of the soldiers have begun to realize what tho new law means and, in an ticipation of their re-enlistment, havo taken steps to make themselves eligible.

Several sharp shocks of earthquake were felt today in the City of Mexico. The first one took place at half-past five o'clock this mor ning, the duration being sev eral seconds, and again at 5:15 in the afternoon came a succession of she cks lasting nearly a minute and producing much alarm. People rushed into the streets and knelt praying or Hocked under the protecting arch of doorwaj-. Custom ers in shops held onto counters to support themselves and all the busy life of the great city came to a sudden stop. Many houses wero cracked. The national palace was cracked in eleven places and in some places the sidewalks were broken. The electric liyht wires and telephone ariel cables swung like loose ropes in a gale. Coach horses and mules drawing street cars stopped and braced them selves to resist the trembling under their feet. Chainblon's silk factory fell in and it is feared many operatives were injured. The car stables fell in, killing a number of mules and a child. Telep r.iphic advices show that tho earthquake was felt at Vera Cruz and Colina and other points. Newfoundland's Troubles. Newfoundland is feeling the effect of her isolation in the present crisis. Her two chartered banks having been forced to suspend, the notes they is sued have lost their value as currency. Money to pay workmen cannot be had. Advances are not to be obtained on the large stocks of fish in merchants' warehouses. Outside help might greatly mitigate if it did not cause the crisis to quickly disappear. Out siders who could help have, however, no such direct interest in Newfound land's affairs as to lead them to exert themselves in her behalf, and it may be some time before the local finan ciers can make ouch arrangements as will enable the island's business to re sume its old lines.
