8 CAMP SITES IN CUBA RECEIVE THE APPROVAL 07 MR. ALGER TROOPS WILL BE ISOLATED And Natives Selected for tie Work of Policing the Towns—Date of Evacuation Uncertain Associated Prese Special Wire WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—Colonel Heck er, with Colonel Lee, of the board which was sent to Cuba to select camp sites for the American army of occupation, has reached Washington and has had several confer ences with the president and Secretary Alger. Mr. Alger has approved the loca tions selected by the Hecker board for the principal garrison, whicU will be in the neighborhood of Havana. The place se lected lies about eight miles south of Ha vana, in the neighborhood of the town of Marianao. Two camps will be pitched at this point, one on either side of the splen did aqueduct which supplies Havana with water. This aqueduct will be tapped and the water drawn by steam pumps from it to supply the camps, which will be pitched on a plateau above 160 feet above sea level. At the nearest point to the camp on the ■ea beach a dock is being constructed, and while it will not reach water deep enough to permit the accommodation of large transports, it will serve good to receive pood sized lighters. The troops will be landed at this point and marched directly to the camp, the purpose being: to avoid exposure to possible infection in Havana. Similar arrangements are making in the neighborhood of Puerto Principe, which will be the first point to be garrisoned, the principle being observed there as in the case of the Havana garrison of keeping the troops from contact with the towns. This is done under the best medical advice, but one consequence of the adoption of the rule is to oblige the government to look to some other power than the military to police the town. Colonel Hecker has been able to make a most flattering report as to the good quali ties as to what is known as the garde civil in Havana for this work. The men com posing this force are usually chosen from the best men in the army, and at any rate al) are picked for 1 their physical and inteller tual qualities. They are able to command at once the respect and obedience of. the rather restless Havana population even bet ter than soldiers. It is not doubted that they would be willing to continue in the discharge of their duties when the United States takes military possession of Havana. Will Avoid Friction HAVANA, Nov. 7. —Lieutenant CoTonel Clous and Captain Hart of the United States evacuation commission this after noon delivered to General Parrado, presi dent of the Spanish commission, a note touching the location of the Cuban camp at Cienfuegos, which conveyed the assurance that the American officers commissioned for this special purpose had taken measures whereby all possibility of friction between the Spanish and Cuban troops there would be avoided. Talking unofficially regarding evacuation, Central Parrado said he had received no answer from Madrid instructing him to ac cept as final the date fixed by the Ameri cans. It is expected that a joint session for determining this matter will be held soon. The Main Problem SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Oct. 25.-Corre tnondence of the) Associated Press.) The main problems to be faced by the province of Santiago; in fact, by the entire island ot Cuba in its effort to throw off the lethargy of centuries are those which to a greater or lesser degree afflict all communities, name ly, capital and labor. With regard to the first, there are a very large number of people only desiring an op portunity to invest in the islands as soon as a settled form of government is decided upon, but will naturally, under present con ditions, knowing nothing regarding the fu ture safeguards to property or the amount of taxes to be levied, or the stability of the future government when it is formed, hesv tate to risk their money. In this province alone it is estimated that there are fully $20,000,000 only waiting for an assured form of government to be at once invested in both enterprises. A still greater problem to be solved is the labor question, for even the existing indus tries are crippled for want of hands, this particularly applying to mines. The pay is from 75 cents a day upward, or about the same as paid in the phosphate mines ot Florida, and the mines will board the la borers at 25 cents a day. It may be taken as an established fait that the present gen eration of Cubans will never become miners. They are far too indolent, and the negro race here find means of a lazy subsistence too easy at hand to have any incentive to labor. The Cuban may do a little light work in the shade, he may makei a fqw ci gars, or he may even condescend to do a little housework, if you do out expect too much in the way of cleaning, but what he prefers is to put on a few stars, a huge pair of boots, enormous spurs and a hat something wondrous to behold, mount an easy-going Cuban pony and parade the principal streets. Give this to the Cuban, white or colored, and you have him as pleased as a chili] with a new toy, as proud as a peacock aud as foolish as an ostrich. In Santiago there is another element add ing to the labur troubles, namely the .lamai can negro, who is one degree worse than his Cuban brother in the matter of indus try. There are over 2000 of his type here, all wanting jobs as waiters, stewards, valets or something equally easy; but as to the n al work of the island, the digging, mining and labor that will bring the sweat to a man's brow, the Pamaica negro wants none of it. The problem was long since solved in his own country by the importation of the In dian coolies under contract to work five years. The mine owners and other large employers of labor are considering some, plan whereby they can overcome the difficulty of obtaining men. The Spanish-American Iron company has sent to Spain for 500 men. No one can take a three hours' ride over this part of the island without being im pressed with the fact thai the earth is about the most productive on the face of the globe, and that a man with a family and two or three hundred dollars is probably better off here than anywhere else in the world. With very little labor he gets not only the necessaries of life, but even its luxuries, and in addition can always sell enough to supply himself and family with the things he cannot grow. His coffee sugar, vegetables, fruit, chickens, hogs, goats and tobacco he can raise himself. To men whose ambition it is to lead a quiet, easy, ready-made existence, not anxious to shine in politics or in any of the leading proles- ] sions, and who have very modest capital, the province of Santiago de Cuba offers one of the choicest fields in the world. A Preacher's Suicide OLATHE, Has., Nov. 7.—Rev. R. E. How ell, a traveling evangelist, committed suicide here today, taking carbolic acid. The sui cide followed a disturbance in a boarding house, where Howell forced his way into a room occupied by Mrs. Cora Henderson of Columbus, Mo., and her husband. Mrs. Henderson eloped from Columbus with the evangelist last spring, but she has since re turned and been forgiven by her husband. When Howell intruded upon them today a violent quarrel between the men followed, in which the woman took tbe part of her hus band. This fact caused the preacher's self destruction. A Horrible Find CAMP MEADE, Middleton, Pa., Nov. B.— While a number of Tennessee soldiers on guard near Middletown today were playing hide and seek in a cornfield, one of their number found the body of a dead man. It was in a state of decomposition, and there were ugly gashes about the neck and eyes, and the ends of the fingers wer chewed off. Foul play was at first suspected, but an in vestigation showed that the man was a team ster named J. Brown, his name being tat tooed on the arm, and that he had been miss ing from the Second division for about two weeks. It is supposed that he crawled un der the shock of corn while drunk, died there and that rats have been living off the body. A FIRE AT RANDSBURG ANOTHER BLAZE THREATENS THE MINING TOWN" Six Thousand Dollars of Damage—The New York Hotel Destroys*!. Plenty of Water RANDSBURG, Nov. 7.—Fire broke out today in the building on Rand avenue for merly occupied by Calahan's saloon. For a time the fire raged fiercely, and it looked as though the town was again doomed. Prompt action and streams of water, how ever, stopped the conflagration before it reached Miller's drug store on Butte av enue. The New York hotel, Fry's butcher shop, the French bakery and two or three unoccupied buildings were burned to the ground. The loss will probably reach $0000 or *7000. THREE PEOPLE RESCUED A Woman and Two Children Nearly Burned Yesterday Some heroic work was done yesterday af ternoon shortly before 3 oclock, at a fire in the flats located at 210 West Tenth street. J he upper portion of the house was occu pied by Mrs. E. A. Coodman and her two little boys, aged 5 and 3 years respectively. A Mrs. Reynolds and her daughter, Mrs. Hunt, live iv the lower portion. Yesterday Mrs. Goodman went away from home, leav ing the two children alone upstairs. The neighbors seemed to think that she had locked the boys in, but this Mrs. Goodman denied. The children began to play with matches, it is supposed, and set fire to one ot the room on the upper floor. The little lellows began screaming "fire," "fire," and soon alarmed the neighborhood. Mrs. Hunt and her mother heard their cries, and de tecting the odor of smoke, the former start ed upstairs to rescue the children. The door is latched with a spring lock and when Airs. Hunt lett it, to go after the boys, a gust of wind or a spring must have swung the door shut. In any event, when the woman re turned with her charges she was unable to get out. She screamed lor help and soon her danger became known. Mrs. Hunt was overcome by the smoke and sank exhausted by the door. Marco Hcllman, the son of H. W. Hcllman, accompanied by Police Officer Marsh Singleton, hurried to the door and they burst it in and rescued the woman and the two boys. In the meanwhile an alrm had been sent in and the department responded promptly, although it was some time before a stream of water could be got on the burning build ing, as the fire plug at the corner of Main and Tenth streets, about 100 yards away, was out of order. The building was saved, though, but the upper portion was badly burned inside. Mrs. Goodman's loss will amount to about $350, not covered by insurance. The loss of Mrs. Hunt and her mother will amount to several hundred dollars, and the damage to the building, which is owned by W. G. Koepfli, will be about $1500. After the men entered the house, it was discovered that four gas jets were turned on full and the gas was escaping. How this occurred is not known, but the little boys may have turned on the 'jets. The neighbors felt very indig nant against Mrs. Goodman, as it was as serted that she goes away from the house and leaves the children alone, and on one oc casion is said to have left them locked out of the place until after 6 oclock in the even ing. Mrs. Goodman stnted last night that the little boys in a spirit of mischief some times lock the door and joke with her before they will admit her when she returns to the house.

JAMBS U. BUDD, Attest: (Xmsoimmsx L. tU BROWS, Secretary ot State, [SEAL.] PROBABLY FATAL FALL AT THE DOS ANGELES ATHLETIC CLUB LAST EVENING In Which a Young Athlete Falls en His Head and Breaks His Hack Melvin J. Banks, a member of the Los Angeles Athletic club and a favorite in the organization, met with a serious accident yesterday evening. While practicing tum bling with a companion in the gymnasium he slipped and fell, striking with all his weight upon the back of his head and neck. The spectators were surprised when he made no move to regain his feet, and went to his assistance. It was found that he could not move any part of his body below his head, and he was taken to the California hospital on South Hope street. The physicians found, after a thorough examination, that the spine was fractured at the junction of the neck and chest and that the lower part of his body was consequently paralyzed. Little hope is therefore enter tained of his recovery, death being liable to occur at any time. Banks has been prominent in amateur ath letic circles in Los Angeles for some time. He also at one time belonged to the North Beach Swimming club of Santa Monica. Both the young man's mother and brother are seriously ill. George H. Mastick of Oakland has filed suit against Jane L. Stanford, executrix of the last will and testament of Leland Stan ford, deceased, and some eighty other de fendants, for the partition of the blocks of land in the city of Alameda. Superior Judge Ellsworth of Oakland has issued an order permitting Mary F. Barron, executrix of the estate of W. K. Barron, de ceased, to assign to S. G. Murphy a legacy of 1300,000. Th* mousy ia alleged to be due the estate frees the estate of the father el the deoeased and the assignment is made to test the validity of the claim. PAN A, 111..
