DISEASE RUNS RAMPANT Havana Is a Constant Menace to the] Health of the United States—Four- teen Persons Expire Through Lack of Food in the City. Washington, Oct. 18.,—The‘horrors of starvation in Cuba. are shown in a re- JOI‘t just received by~the Surgeon-Gen- eral of Marine Hospital Service from United States Sanitary Inspector Brun- ner at Havana. In addition to the iundreds dying from intestinal dis- !ases caused by poor food, he notes fourteen deaths directly attributable to starvation in that city. If such things :an happen in the chief city of the isl- tnd the condition in the desolated in- :erior can be imagined. Dr. Brunner says that just opposite nis office “A wholesale grocery firzn gives a small pittance of rice to all who apply for it twice a week. Hun- ireds of thin, emaciated people drag themselves there to partake of the county, and it is a gruesome sight to observe the condition, or rather lack of ohysical condition of the crowd.” The cause of the yellow fever out- break in the Southern States is clearly shown by Dr. Brunner. He says: “In spite of the heavy rains which deluge :he streets, running over the sidewalks 11 many places, the city appears to 3ontain more filth than ever. It is im- aossible to properly describe the abso- ute want of sanitary measures, the ab— solute disregard of health laws. “The waters of the bay are reeking with the filth poured into it from the zity, and every vessel leaving here for :he United States should be regarded with suspicion when said vessel’ has emained over twenty—four hours in this harbor. “I am more convinced than ever that :his city is a constant menace to the aealth of the United States, and will remain so until modern science shall as employed to remedy the evils that nave existed here for nearly two cen- :uries.” . Dr. Brunner declares there is more than twice as much yellow fever in Havana than reported by the authori— zies, most of it being in the hospitals tcross the bay from the city. Smallpox s on the increase, principally among :he country people, who have been iriven into town by Weyler’s orders. BIGGEST GUN IN THE WORLD. it Will Protect New York and Shoot Sixteen Miles. ' Bethlehem, Pa, Oct. 18.—The largest gun ever built in the world is now icing constructed at the Bethlehem [ron Works for the defense of New York Harbor. This enormous piece of ordnance will weigh, when completed, [26 tons. It will exceed by six tons weight the monster gun which Krupp, of Germany, exhibited at the World’s Fair in Chicago, and in length it will we nearly five feet longer than the Ger— rnan gun. The intention of the War Depart— rnent, it is announced, is to mount the great piece on a specially built founda- ;ion on Romer Shoals. From its posi- tion it will have a full sweep of the thannels leading into New York Har— 001‘. There is not, it is declared. a ves- sel afloat to-day with armor of sufli- 2ient strength to‘ resist its shot. The calibre of the new gun will be aixteen inches. The length, from breech to muzzle, will be forty-nine feet two mohes. The powder charge will weigh nearly one thousand pounds. Provided extreme elevation .for range could be obtained, a shot from the New York Harbor gun would be able to travel 'nore than‘sixteen miles. The building of the new 16-inch gun ‘s an expensive undertaking. The gun :tself will cost about one hundred and :wenty thousand dollars. Thchost of :he gun carriage and turret will bring :he cost up to as much again as the weapon, while the cost for foundation will, it is estimated, round out a grand total of at least three hundred thou- :and dollars. The foundation ,for the gun will require a depth, it is said, of fifty feet, if earth be the basis. This foundation must be constructed of con- crete. , Presidential Appointments. Washington, D.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 18.—Owing to the ncreased acreage it is estimted that :he cotton crop in3Georgia. this year will Exceed that of 1896 by 10 per cent. The :rop is full and the only complaints are of the low prices. Nearly/all of the yield has been picked and warehoused. Plans are under consideration ,all over :he State to curtail the crop next year, and others include a farmers’ trust for holding of cotton and a species of boy- cott against planters and business men who will not 'joint the movement to hoard the crop for better prices. X-Rays in‘ the Navy. \Vashington, Oct. 18.—The X-rays are to be used in the navy to examine sail- ors to determine their condition in health and disease. This will secure "strong and physically perfect men for the service. _ According to the annual report of Acting Surgeon Gen. Boyd, it is pro- posed to establish a hospital corps in the navy similar to that in the army, urd Congress is asked to authorize the 'rmsn'uction of ambulance ships to at- ' E c satindrons in action. 1 ~. lion lT sonnos.

Millard, of 51 West ave- nue,South Norwalk, engaged in the fur manufacturing business in West Nor- walk says: “I have had kidney trouble for years, and have taken so much medicine and been under the care of physicians so often that I ought to be an authority on the question. I seemed to be rid of my trouble for a time, but it showed signs of returning and I wanted to check it. I noticed some published statements about Doane’s Kidney Pills and procured a. box at Glendening’s Pharmacy in Norwalk. They helped, and a continuance of the treatment I believe will eventually ef- fect a radical cure.” Doane’s Kidney Pills help at first, heal, strengthen, then cure.

J., Oct..18.—Standing over the lifeless forms of his motherand grandmother, as they lay side by side in their coffins, Eli Shaw again pro- tested his innocence of the dual mur- ' der which startled Camden last Tues- day, and called upon God to attest that be is blameless. It has not been the fate of rhany to witness a more har- rowing or dramatic Scene -than that which preceded the funerals of the two women last Friday afternoon, when young Shaw was taken from his cell to bid a last adieu to the forms of the two helpless women, for shedding whose blood he has been held to answer. Dis- tressing as was the scene, it had no ef- fect in wringing a confession from the prisoner, as was expected, but although It materially contributed to the wreck of his nervous system, it'only strength- ened his declarations that the blood of his mother and grandmother was. not upon his hands. ‘ The young man held out against every attempt to force an admission from him, but this has not shaken the conviction of the police and the county prosecutor that he alone is responsible for the crime. Their ground for this belief apparently rests in the d'lscrep- ancy between the prisoner’s account. of the details of the tragedy and the find-, 'ng of the revolver in the chimney, and the tracks of blood on the third floor. Shaw said his mother was shot on the second floor, but the tracks of blood on the carpet indicate that some part of the tragedy was enacted on the third floor. Whoever last had-the revolver that was found with two empty shells and three loaded ones, disposed of it by throwing it into the chimney from the Stovepipe fine on the third floor. Of that there is indisputable evidence. Yet Shaw‘stoutly persists that he had no knowledge of the pistol at the bot- ‘om of the chimney. ' A dramatic sequel of the crime oc— curred at the funeral of the victims. Both mother and daughter were laid at rest in a little cemetery on the outskirts of Camden. Services were held in the parlor of the little dwelling on Line street. At the'head of the coffin was a pillow of immortelles, with the inscription, "Mother and Grandmother,” the last tribute of the son and grandson now accused of the double murder. In the company of mourners at the house was Eli Shaw, in charge of two officers of the law. He gazed upon the upturned faces in the coffin and called aloud up- on God to witness his innocence. Finally, falling upon his knees beside his mother’s casket, he said in a broken and almost stifled voice: “Mother! mother! Tell them t1-at I am innocent!” While the police are still hunting for further incidentspf the crime that may fasten the guilt upon him, his relatives 'Jelieve that he is innocent. JUSTICE FIELD'S SUCCESSOR. Opposition to the Appointment of Attorney-General McKenna. Washington, Oct. 18,—The retirement of Justice Field and the prospective ap- oointment- of Attorney-General Mc- Kenna to the Supreme Court, is being discussed in Administration circles. There is a movement in opposition to the appointment of the Attorney-Gen- eral to the Supreme Court, and while it may not be strong enough to prevent his nomination next Winter by the President, it may prevent his confirma- tion by the United States Senate. It is apparent that there is a widespread op- position to his appointment coming from the Pacific coast, based upon his I:ourse with reference to the sale of the Union Pacific Railroad. How far this feeling of opposition will extend re— mains to be seen. In the event of the failure of the Senate to confirm Mr. McKenna in the event of his nomination by the Presi- dent, it is the belief of many friends of ‘he Administration that the President may go outside of the circuit for the Selection of Justice Field’s successor. [f the President should decide to go outside of the circuit to find a. Supreme Court Justice he would have a wide field to select from, and there will doubtless be many candidates for the appointment. Much interest is felt in the matter of the change in the Cabinet which will Hake place upon the retirement of J us- tice Field and the appointment of the Attorney-General to the Supreme Court oench. There is no difference of opinion in regard to the fact that Judge Goff, of West Virginia, could go into the Cabinet if he desired, but the unani- mous belief is that he will decline the honor. In this event it is likely that the people of the Pacific coast will make a big fight for the appointment. Judge McKenna is the first representa- tive to sit in‘the Cabinet from the Pa.- cific coast, and the present political feeling in the West would seem to de- mand that his successor should be shosen from California. Republicans from the Pacific coast say that the Only way in which the State of California can be kept in the Republican column in the next Con- gressional elections is by retaining for the Pacific coast representation in the Cabinet. SALISBURY WANTS TO RESIGN. He Is in Poor Health—A Reconstruc- tion of the Cabinet Probable. (Cable Dispatch to the New York Sun.) London, Oct. 18.—-The Chronicle says that Lord Salisbury’s health is not equal to the strain imposed on it by his work as Prime'Minister and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and that he desires to resign. , The paper adds that an early recon- struction of the Cabinet is probable. The Queen is unwilling to make any changes, but in view of Lord Salis— bury’s ill health his resignation is likely to be accepted.
