NEGRO VOTERS IN CUBA. Black Republic In the Island Is Promised f?s Effect of Uni versal Suffrage. Leading Cuban Merchant Thinks the Nesroes Would Crowd Out White People. Havana, Aug. 6. A leadiDg Ha vana merchant, a Cuban having busi ness connections with most of the cities of the island and who claims to ba well posted regarding Cuban af faire, said today that universal suf- frngo in Cuba would mean a b'ack re public in tbo near future aud tliat the only means of preventing it will be the incorporation of the island as a pos session of tho United States as a 6iale, territory or colony, leading to Ameri can immigration, iind intermarriages, tho Hirichmerit of insular blood and the improvement of the population. In his judgment Cuba is otherwise doomed to become another JUyti His assertions are based upon tho fact that in a population not exceed ing 1,250,000, with a voting capacity of 400,000, the Spaniards number only 50,000, the white Cubans 125,000, those claiming to bo white 25,000, while the blacks number 200,000 in voting strength. This theory is that more than ha!f the Spaniards under a sys tem of universal suffrage would not vote and that tbe number who would vote must inevitably diminish each year. The Cubans, who will no longer have the fresh blood of Spanish immigrants to draw upon, will gradully grow fewer, while, on the other hand, the blacks, who thrivo in this climate and are big, strong and healthy, will in crease at a rapid rate. The result will bo, he believes, that in fifty years there will bo moro than 200,000,000 nesrroes in the island and lees than 250,000 others. "Even in the first election," he declares, "the blacks would carry everything their own way if they know their strength." tiool Ilavnni I"olic- Fore. Considerable indignant comment has been caused here among United States army officers, especially those occupying high positions, by the re cent assertion in tho Havana corres pondence of a New York newspaper that tho administration of General K'ifael du Cardenas, chief of police of Havana, has been bd and that the polien department here is thoroughly disorganized American officers who are esperially interested in watching results concede generally that, con sidering the length of time tho d part ment has been organized, the police of Havana are in splendid condition. The force is continually improving and tho improvement tias been notice able particularly during the last few kcik fince General Cardenas relieved GfH ral Mari.; Menocal, who. though a t'ood officer, rather too amiable for a chief of po'ice, and who had Uxi m".nv personal friends to conMilt. General C irdonns, on the other hand, is a man of small austere manners and compels implicit obedience to orders. General Ludlow, the military gov ernor, points out that the Havana po lice forro was organized mainly from officers and m n of tbe Cuban army, who actually took part in the revolu tion, and tlut-t no one should expect a "complete o ly of angelh" immedi ately. He says he is quite aware of the necehsity of a weeding out process, but he considers General Cardenas the right man in the right place. The new chi;f, still, according to General Lud low, has not hesitated to discharge po lice functionaries who were hinderin? the development of the force and in do inr so he has purified the organization materially. It is, therefore, "abso lutely unwarranted to say that the force ditorganizod,"for never in the history of II ivana have police meth ods been more efficient than they are today. Oim-UIrt Are Well Content. These sentiments, which arj almost in tho exact language of General Lud low, express tho feelings of a majority of those officials primarily interested in the growth and eood character of the force. General Cardenas himself says the organization is working well with very few hitches, and he cannot underhand why such charges should bo mado ayainst it. In accordance with I'resid nt MiKinley's instruc tions the Cuban soldiers shouldbo pre ferred in fiUing po'.iee position?, many of such have hje.n appointed. It has frequently turned out that they were unfit for police duty, owing to their qua-relsorne and bullying disposition, although thi-y hav proved excellent soldiers. By degree this element is being eliminated, although a few still remain who must ba weeded out. In the selection of new men the greatest caro is being exercised. Wr Oat uf the O a et Ion. Cuicaoo, Aug. 6. Sereno K. Payne of New York, chairman of the ways and means committee of the house of representatives and a member of the joint commission on Alaskan boundary, arrived Tn Chicago today on his way home from a tour of two months in Alaskv and tho Pacific coast. Mr. Payne said: "Being a member of the commission, my lips are sealed as to the probable report and the course the boundai..' matter will lake. This would be fi matter for an arbitration commission, if one were appointed. I do not think Sir Wilfrid Laurier had any idea war would result from the boundary ques tion when he made his recent speech in Ottawa; 1 do not consider such a thing worthy of serious considera tion." PRESIDENT ATTENDS CHURCH. Whole Congregation Arlxea as He Kntera j Secretary Hoot to Visit Him. Plattsuukgh. N. Y.. Auer. 6. President McKinley, accompanied by Secretary Cortelyou, attended church this morning, driving up from tho Ho tel Champlain. Although tho man who drove had lived in Plattsburgh all his life he drove the party to the Prebbyterian church, instead of the Methodist church, making the pre3iA dent about fifteen minutes late. The pastor of the church, however, de layed services until the arrival of the president. . When Jie entered the church the entire congregation arose and remained standing until he had been seated. Bishop Goodsell of Ten nessee preached the sermon, taking his text from the Ninth chapter of St John, thirty-ninth verso. Dr. Joel W. Eaton presiding elder of tho Champlain district of the Troy conference, in his prayer asked that the "blessing of God might rest upon the president of the United States and that through us the- uncivilized peo ples of other lands might be lifted up. " At the close of the service the con gregation remained standing until the president had reached the street. IUILUOAI) NOTES AM) PERSONALS From Saturday's Uaily. John Cagney arrived'in the city last evening from Dana, Wyo., where he is in the employ of the Union Pacific, John left here about three months ago and went to California in search of health and having got considerable better about a month ago went to Wyoming to work.

George Freer, one of the Adams Ex press messengers, is in the city for a short visit with his mother. George tolls of a little experience he had on one of his trips between Pacific Junc tion and Denver not long since. He was all alone in his car, which was crowded with express matter, among which was a box containg a corpse. He was busily engaged in checking his "run," when suddenly he heard a shrill call, "hollo, there!" He was instantly on the alert, ceizing his re volver, and visions of train robbers and dynamite arose in his mind. The voice was directly from the coffin box. It flashed aci oss his mind that there was no corpse therein, but a train rob ber who had taken this means of ob taining access to the car. At the thought his hair stood erect on his head and his heart boat fast. The call came again, "hello, therel" After waiting for a few seconds he proceeded to investigate, gripping his revolver tighter. In climbing on some boxes in the further end of the car he dis covered a bird cage containing a friendly poil parrot, which, uoon see ing him, called again "hello, there!" George says he felt a great relief on making the discovery. J. M. Lock of the Burlington shops has been tnking a lay-off for several days on account of illness, resulting from ,. the intense beat. The cool weather has straightened him out and he vill hi; able to return to work Mon day. REPORT OF CHICAGO MARKETS Chicago, Aug. 7.

Ed Grassman and wife are the happy parents cf a nine-pound girl, the little one having arrived this morning. Mother and child are doing nicely. The recent heavy rains have done some damage to small grain in the shock, but the good they have done to the corn crop will overbalance that damage many times.

The rainfall here ; during the past two days, up to noon today is reported at 1.80 inches. That of yesterday,last night and this morning was general throughout the county and it is gen erally thought to have been sufficient to insure the growing of the largest crop of corn that Cass county has ever bad and of the late potato crop as well. This means cheap living for the people. There is a stalk of corn on exhibi tion in front of F. S. White's store which measures fifteen feet It is a little over eight feet to the first ear. It was grown on Andy Taylor's farm, and there is said to be much of the same corn In the country. The old story about having to use a step ladder in order to reach the corn is quite likoly to become a sorious real ization this fall.

There Is considerable danger, ac cording to a German medical newspa per, which recently discussed the ef fect of drinking chemically pure wa ter that is, water containing no dis solved salts or gases. The action of pure distilled water withdraws salts from the tissues, which swell hp by imbibition, and .Is a dangerous proto plasmic poison. When swallowed It causes a swelling up of the superficial layers of the gastric epithelium, which die and are exfoliated. That washing out the stomach with distilled water has a bad effect is proved. Really pure water would be worse still. Wa ters occur In nature purer than ordi nary distilled water, and hence the practical importance of the subject to medicine. Water obtained from clear, natural ice may cause gastric catarrh, and vomiting when given to patients to suck. Artificially made ice never produces such pure water on melting, and is therefore safer. Guide books usually warn travelers not to drink water from snow, glaciers or clear mountain torrents, which, instead of quenching thirst, often produces gas tritis. The most remarkable instance 13 that of a spring at Gastein, which has vbeen known for centuries as the "Poison Spring." and no one will drink Its water, though no poison has ever been found in it. The simple fact is that the Gastein water is purer than distilled water, and has In consequence the same Injurious effects. Kino, Emporer, Duke, Prince $1. Elson, the Clothier. To tbe Public.
