Several Deaths and Many Cas- .
ualties In Chicago.
CHICAGO, Jan. 26.—Chicago is tasting
the deadliest bitterness of winter. It was
the coldest day in 25 years according to
the records of tho-weather bureau.
Fifty-three persons were reported over-
come by the cold in Chicago and were
rescued in a partly frozen condition. Two
deaths occurred which were due to the
cold and a number of persons are likely
to die as the result of frozen limbs or ex—
posure. Most of the sufi‘orers succumbed
to the cold while about their work, but a
number of the victims were homeless wan-
derers. ~
The dead were:
A. L. Tanner, 8932 Eric avenue, slipped
. on ice while coupling a. train; died of his
injuries at midnight.
Freda. Bush, 5 years old, 1'77 Fry street,
died of exposure and lack of medical at-
tention.
’ Some of the victims of the cold were:
George Grant, a baker. 8:23) Lake street,
bot-ll foot frozen; amputation necessary;
found unconscious in an empty box car at
the foot of Illinois street.
_Patrick Coggins, malster, 2519 North-
western avcnuc, found wandering near
Chicago avenue and North Clark street;
ears and hands frozen.
George Dick, 5 years old, 7 3 North av-
enue, found unconscious near his home;
hands, feet and ears frozen.
William Thomas, homeless; feet frozen
while stealing a ride on the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad.
Frank Schmidt, homeless, fell exhaust-
ed at the corner of Fifth avenue and Mad-
ison street; both ears frozen.

enue; feet badly frozen.
M. .I. Glason, found lying in snow un—
der the Twelfth street viaduct; feet, ears
and parts of body frozen.

James Tracey, found with his head and
shoulders buried in a snow bank on the
Milwaukee avenue viaduct.
Edward Kinsey of 2160 West Lake
street, found lying in the snow at Halsted
and Lake streets with hands and feet

The cold wave reached Chicago on Sat-
urday night and tightened its grip yester-
day, and at midnight Chicagoans were
shivering in a 16 degrees below zero atmos-
phere. At 8 o’clock yesterday morning the
thermometer was ll,_bclow. The tempera-
ture then moderated somewhat. but at no
time during the day did the mercury rise
above 3 below. Shortly after sunset the
temperature began dropping rapidly. The
weather bureau promises no relief for four
or five days.
The blizzard continued until, today.
There was no serious delay to street car
traffic, and the thoroughfares were kept
open by hundreds of men, who were at
work all night.
All trains were late, but the delays were
not serious. Chief of Police Badenoch is-
sued an order last night which will facili-
tate the furnishing of relief to such as are
in danger from the want of food or fuel.
Colder ‘Veather Coming.
WASHIXGTON, Jan. 26.—Advices received
by the weather bureau indicate that the
full force of the cold wave will not be felt
in the middle and south Atlantic states
until tomorrow, when the lowest tempera-
tures of the season undoubtedly will be
reached. The reports received ,show that
the entire country from the Rocky moun-
tains to the Atlantic coast has felt or will
feel severely the effects of the cold snap,
which is technically explained to be due
to an exceedingly high barometer from the
cold breeding regions of. the Canadian
northwest provinces pushing south and
eastward and displacing a. low barometer
in those sections. Local snows are quite
generally reported from Texas and from
'the Mississippi valley regions. In this city
the thermometer last night went to 9 de-
grees above zero and is expected to fall
considerably lower. The sun was out, and
the air is clear and crisp. It‘ is too early to
predict how much damage will be done in
Florida and the southAtlantic states by
the cold snap, as the wave will not strike
that section severely until tomorrow. The
weather bureau expects that low tempera-
tures will be generally throughout the sec-
tion east of the Rockies most if 'not all of
this week.
Cold Closes Factories.
WAPAKONETA, 0., Jan. 26.—The cold
wave brought the thermometer down 20
degrees below zero. All the factories have
closed on account of the severe cold. Nat-
ural gas prevents suffering for lack of fuel.
The Weather.
Fair; very cold; westerly to northerly
winds.

KEY WEST, Fla, J an. 26.-—I.atest rc~
ports from Cuba indicate another serious
defeat for the Spanish at Pelanos.’ This
town' of about 1,000 inhabitants, in the
southern part of Havana province, is well
fortified and has a Spanish garrison of
about 600, with one fieldpicce. Lieutenant
Colonel Hernandez, with 500 Cuban cav—
alry, made a dash at the town, while the
troops were at the church celebrating a
local holiday, and took possession of the
blockhouse. The cannon was trained at
the church, and solid shot came hurling
through .its walls, while cries of “Cuba.
libre!” filled the air. The Spaniards rushed
out only to fall before a. deadly volley.
Colonel Muncio, the Spanish officer, rallied
his men, but as they formed for :1. charge
he fell. The second in command took his
place, but he, too, fell in afcw secondsbc—
fore the sharpshootcrs of Hernandez.
The Spanish made one more attempt to
charge the blockhousc, but the cavalry
swept through their ranks, cutting. a. path
with their machetes, turned and again
came through the crowded ranks of the
Spanish, who fought bravely, but were
routed, though a. portion stubbornly pro-
tected their rear until forced to retire by
Hernandez’s fierce charges. After pursu-
ing nearly to Cajaio the Cubans withdrew.
They burned the fort at Pelanos and se—
cured 1,400 stand of arms, a cannon,
$1,000 in gold and $5,000 paper money,
besides ammunition and valuable papers
belonging to the Spanish commissary dc-
partmont.
Havana officials knew of the dcfca t, but
have kept it suppressed, and the palace
officials say that the place has been evacu-
atcd.
Governor Pcrrura has ordered over 100
bankers and gamblers of Havana province
to leave inside of Bi hours under the pen-
alty of being imprisoned if they do not
do so.
Ana Sotolongo, who is believed to be an
accomplice of the dynamitcrs who were
arrested in San Hafncl street some time
ago, has escaped from the prison in the
Penalacr ward of this city. ’
Several wounded insurgents belonging
to the band of the Cuban leader l'rra have
been arrested.
”Official" “’ar News.
WASHIXGTON, Jan. BEL—Tho almost
complete pacification of Havana and Man-
tanzas provinces in the western part- of the
island of Cuba is announced in the follow-
ing dispatch received at the Spanish lcga~
tion hero late last evening from the Span—
ish minister of foreign affairs:
“Weyler at the head of 14 battalions has
repeatedly traversed the provinces of Ho.—
vana and Matnnzzls, obliging the princi-
pal rebel leaders to fly to Las Villas. ch-
ler considers that now in Havana ‘and
Mantanzas there remain no nucleus of,
rebels or organized bands to disperse, and
that both provinces may be considered as
almost completely pacified. The sugar
growers in these provinces are now grind—
ing cane without molestation. ”
The officials of the logation .‘cgard the
achievements of General Weylcr and the
announcements of the foreign affairs of-
fice as of great importance. The center
part of the island, they say, has been in a
state of pacification, and now that the
western part has been brought to a similar
state, the rebels, it is stated, are confined
in their movements to some of the eastern
provinces.
Following close on this announcement
it is expected Premier Canovas will pro-
mulgato the reforms for Cuba. voted by
the cortes in 1805, butwithheld until the
island’shall have been regarded as pacified
to a degree warranting their application.
An Englishman’s Report of Cuba.'
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 26.———Two young
Englishmen, Harry E. York and Lee A.
Hervey, have reached this city after hav-
ing passed several weeks in Cuba, with the
insurgent army part of the time and the
remainder in the field with the Spanish
troops. Hervey received a shot through
the left arm. They are preparing a report
for Senator Cameron. The insurgents are
not in need of men, but of money, ammu-
nition and medicine. There are not over
25,000 Cubans, while the Spaniards and
volunteers new number 285,000 men,
mostly very young, and not good fighting
material.
Hervey gives a graphic account of the
capture of Santa. Clara by the insurgents,
where the utmost gallantry was displayed,
the Spaniards being overcome by the mag-
nificent valor of the patriots.
Hervey says it was told him in the Cu-
ban camp that Maceo had his lower jaw
shot away, but was alive and recuperating.
Another Cuban Expedition.
BRIDGETON, Pa, Jan. 26.—It has been
learned that the sloop Acosta, which has
been missing from Port Norris, N. J ., for
some time, has sailed for Cuba with arms
and ammunition for the insurgents. She
is expected to arrive there this week. It is
not known who is in command of the ves-
sel. The boat belongs to John Hand.

Some time ago a Chirese Christian

word that here father had betrothed

man. Miss Hartford, one of the prin-
cipal workers in the Foo-Chow Mis-
sion, who was here on a visit, accom-
panied her on her return. -
On the same ship with them was Li
[lung Chang and his suite. The Vice-
roy noticed the Chinese girl and sent
' his secretary, Lord Li, to inquire about
her. A day or two later he sent word
that he would like to talk with Mar-
guerite and Miss Hartford. ’lTlley ‘
wont to see him and told him the story
of the girl’s attempt to obtain an edu»
cation. The Viceroy was much pleased
with his countrywoman and seemed to
take a great interest in her. He told
her and Miss Hartford about the
Women's Congress which is to beheld
in London in 1898 and said that he
wanted the women of China repre-
sented at the congress.
After a little talk he told Marguerite
that he would appoint her to represent
China and its women at the congress.
He then asked Miss Hartford if she
did not know of some other woman
in China that was qualified to be a
delegate to the congress. Miss Hart-
ford :it once recommended to’him Dr.
Hu King Eng, the first Chinese woman
to study medicine. Some years’ago
she left China to come to America, and
after a course ill the woman’s medi-
cal school at Philadelphia she received

China and became one of the most val-
uable members of the Foo—Chow Mis-
sion, where she now is. Li Hung
Chang was much interested in the
story and after a few questions said
that she, should be appointed as the
second woman to attend the congress.

lNDlAN DIVORCES.
[‘he Reservation Indians Throw Off the
Galling Bonds at Will.
With most of the plains Indian mar-
riage consists simply of picking out
the maiden, leading her to a cabin or
Wigwam, and installing her as mis-
tress of the house and cornfield, some-
times with the necessary preliminary
of paying the father ‘a pony or two or
in installment of blankets, and occa-
sionally with some slight ceremony
performed by a chief or medicine man.
And when the brave grows tired of his
partner he can get rid of her as easily
as he won her.
The people who are now flocking to
the Dakotas or Oklahoma to get di-
vorces would be supremely happy if
they could throw off the gelling bonds
of wedlock as easily as does the reser-
vation Indian. The fact having been
formally announced by the head man
of the clan, the divorce takes place
when the tribe is gathered at a dance.
When all are assembled and the circle
formed, the discontented warrior
strikes a drum held by the revellers,
gives away a few presents (offtimcs
making a present to the squuw he in-
tends to take next) and then in a short
bombastic speech he stigmatizes his'
wife by giving her over to the tender
mercies of other braves, while they
look upon him enviously and consider '
that he has performed an act of brav-
ery in his, desertion.
Often as many as half a dozen di-
vorces are thus obtained at a single
lance. No tedious waiting; no courts,
no lawyers and no trouble about ali-
rnony or the custody of children. And
the squaws thus cast off, as a general
thing, seem to take it as a matter of
course, and before the close of the
lance are using the wiles known and
used by women the world over in an
effort to repair as speedily as possible
the break in their hearts and matri-
nonial experience.
With the taking of land in severalty
and putting on of citizenship, however,
:he Indian finds that he has cemented
he tics that were so loose before, for
he courts everywhere are deciding that
-l;;- 1-. .bnl marriages are legal and bind-
‘11:: upon the Indian who becomes a
:ith ll. And if the weight of one legal
marriage wears somewhat heavily up-
on a white man, how must it be with
the red man, who has contracted two,

which the court now declares legal,
