Havana, July 25, Not since the
re-establishment of the Cuban repub
lic have there existed such peculiar
political conditions as have prevailed
for the past few weeks conditions
fraught with great unrest and much
peril to the stability of the republic,
and yet apparently not; assignable to
any specific source other than the
nervous tendency of the Cuban peo
ple to yield to alarm on insufficient
provocation.
This tendency has been stimulated
in the present Instance by the action
of the government in making osten
tatious military preparations for de
fense and indulging In expressions of
its determination to crush merciless
ly any attempt at revolution at a time
when it was apparent that from one
end ot the island to the other there
v up not visible the faintest sympton
'! ;i':y tendency to disorder.
Tin- ivinH 'jf this policy on the
ii.nt ni IV KjJi i't Gomez and his ad
viwn. has h.'id an unhappy effect.
Miv.-i'. confidence in the govern
ment has been shaken and the admin--Mat.ion
has alienated many of its
r-i.s ;ff ..'t. is. .
i ;.. in m ediate provocation of this
iite of affairs was the initiation ot
-.t'.i.u -hj on ih.. Administration by the
tii.n xiir'iM !- t.i ijia, founded for this
,..tas puipose by Congressman Ar
mand Andre, wherein it was charged
that the president and his entourage
had accumulated vast sums by distri
buting enormously valuable conces
sions among foreign corporations and
political friends of the administra
tion.
The attacks coutiimed so persis
tently that the president Issued , a
public statement giving what, purpor
ted to be an Inventory of his estate,
which appeared to be of but moderate
dimensions.
Eventually the government assum
ed an altitude of defiance. The city
was thrown into semi-panic by the
'Midden call to arms of the garrison
or Castle La Fueraa and the surround
ing of the nalaee soon after mid
night by rural guards, artillery and
infantry. According to the palace
authorities the movement was merely
to di'tiriuine how rapidly' the troops
could he turned out In an emergency,
but this explanation was received
with open credulity. It declared that
the administration Was panicstricken,
but for what cause no one could haz
ai d a guess.
Then Gen. Machado, secretary of
the interior, who also discharges the
functions of war, issued a statement
denouncing the critics of the presi
dent, whom he announced was first
ami foremost a soldier who would not
flinch from shedding blood and mak
ing the astonishing declaration that
even should 90 per cent, of the Cuban
people oppose the president's adminis
tration they wouldbe crushed with
out mercy. This utterance served to
renew and Inflame the attacks of the
anti-administration press.
Added to these elements of unrest
has Den a renewal of the agitation re
garding the succession to the presi
dency. " Despite Gen. Gomez' reitera
tion that he would never accept a re
uoininalion many of his supporters
continue to campaign actively In his
behalf and re-elect innists clubs are
being formed.
There Is no reason to believe that
Vice-President Zuyns has the least
idea of renouncing his claims to the
nomination which was accorded him
in the last campaign as the price ot
support of his faction in the election
of Gen. Gomez. Still another prob
able candidate for the presidency
whose popularity in the liberal ranks
is high, is Gen. Carlos Garcia Velez,
the special ambassador at the corona
tion in London.

ivlineola, X. Y., July 25 Many aviators and other air enthusiasts are congratulating Miss Blanche
Stuart Scott of Rochester, N. Y who drove an aeroplane across county in a twelve mile flight from
the aviation field here in ten minutes. Miss Scott is the first woman to achieve such a feat in America.
She ftew. one of Captain Thomas S. Baldwin's biplanes, overtaking a, mere man aviator who' had started
first, circled over the village of W 'stbury and returned to the field, making a safe landing. Miss Scott
once drove an automobile all the w.vv across the continent. She is a pupil of Captain Baldwin and has
made several trial flights on the aviation field. .
CORE OF THE EARTH.
It May Be a Mate of Steel Some 5.5S0
Milea In Diameter.
Various conjectures have been made
from time to time by geologists as to
the possible condition of the center of
the "earth. One of the most popului
Impressions seems to be that the
earth's center, or corp. U a flam ins
furmice. At a meeting of (lie Seis
Biological association at The Hague
Professor Weicuert asserted that hh
studies of the Viii!nK vehwity of
earth()inl;o tremors passing through
the inteilor of the globe h:tve led him
to the conclusion that. the enrtli con
gists of tt central core of iron or steel,
about 0.5S0 miles in diameter, sur
rounded with a stony shell 930 miles
In thickness. Between the outer solic
riud acd the inner layer of rock, cover
ing the metallic core, he thinks there
is a layer of liquid or plastic material,
lying a little iens than twenty miles
below the surface of the earth.
Men sometimes dream of enormous
wealth stored deep in the earth below
the resell of miners, but experts now
arer that there Is little or no ground
to believe that any valuable melalli.-
deposits lie very deep In the earth's
erust regardless of Trofossor Wei
chert's beliefs to the contrary. Such

waters are confined to a shell near the

To Stop Hiccough.
Simple cases of hiccough are often
relieved by such measures Us sucking
ice or taking salt and vinegar, says the
New York Medical Journal.' Pulling '
the tongae forward and holding It for
some time is an effective procedure.
Sometimes obstinate hiccough Is "re
lieved when the patient is strong by
having him hang with the arms ex
tended and grasping some beam o
pole. so that his feet do not touch
the floor. With all the abdominal
muscles tense, bave him hold his
breath as long as possible- Sneezing
is very efficient in certain cases, since
It Is the exact opposite to hiccough, j
being n sudden expiratory act.
McSwiney' Gun.
Nearjlorn Head. County Donegal.
Ireland, there is a hole In the rocks
called McSwIney's gun. It is on the
seacoast and is said to have connec
tion with a cavern. When the north
wind blows and the sea Is at half
flood the wind and the waves enter
the cavern and send up jets of water
from the "gun" to a height of more
than 100 feet. Tlie Jets of water are
accompanied by explosions which niay
