Health Authorities Discover Many
New Cases Not Reported to
Doctors by Natives.

________ \
HAVANA, April 14.—The bubonic
plague is spreading in this city de
spite the efforts of the health auth
orities to check the ravages of the
disease. Several new cases were dis
covered this morning in a part of the
city which had been immune up to
the present.
The health authorities assert that
the difficulty in suppressing the pla-,
gue is largely due to the neglect of
the natives to report sickness in their
families until death visits them. The
natives fear quarantine owing to the
high percentage of deaths which have
occurred since the plague made its
appearance here. ■ *
Americans are leaving the city and
it is announced that the whole city
may be quarantined owing to the in
creased number of. new cases discov
ered by the doctors.. The.health au
thorities have started a house to
house search and have placed scores
of suspects in quarantine. “

nate Roosevelt Starts Independent
Effort For Sulzei.
NEW YORK, April 14— A move
ment has been started here to place
an independent tickeet in the field
with Suliter as the candidate for gov

er parties have expressed their in

regarded seriouesly by those who are
behind the independent movement.
Nearly the entire press of the state
is opposed to Sulzer making the race.
They assert that he is courting al
most certain defeat owing to the
stigma which was attacheed to his
impeachment.

OSSINING, N, Y., April 14.—The
warden of the penitentiary states that
"Dago Prank” Cirofici confessed to
him that Lieutenant Becker was not
responsible for the murder of Gambler
Rosenthal. "
Cirofici declared that the killing
was done by Gyp the Blood, Leftie

he was five miles away from the
scene of the killing when it happened,
I but that he was one of the men who

TRAIN BANDITS
WERE CAPTURED
Attempt to Hold Up Interurban Train
•, ■ . :n : . ]
Last Night Frustrated After
One Man Was Wounded..
TACOMA, April 14.—Another Inter
urban train wan held up last night by
bandit#, who were .overpowered by the
passenger# after one passenger had
been shot. *<
•' The-bandits occupied seats near the
rear of the train and no attention was
paid to their movements until they
commanded their fellow passengers to
throw up their hands. As they moved
through the train collecting the money
and valuables of the passengers one
of the passengers suddenly closed
with the bandit who was keeping them
covered with his revolved, while the
other one went through their pock
ets.
In the suffle to overpower the ban
dits the revolver was discharged,
wounding one of the passengers. The
wounded man was brought to a hos
pital here for treatment, but physi
cian" state that his recovery is very
doubtful.
The bandits received terrible pun
ishment at the hands of the outraged
passengers unu train crew. They
were covered with blood and unrecog
nizable when turned over to the po
lice. The description of the men is
said to tally closely with that given
by the passengers on the train held
up last month when over $400 in cur
rency, and hundreds of dollars worth
of jewelry was secured by the hold
ups.

DENVER, Colo., April 14.—Gover
nor Ammons has ordered the troops
which have been patrolling the strike
districtto be withdrawn. No settle
ment of' the strike has as yet been
reached, but violence has diminished
so that the situation can be controlled
by deputies.
The guards have served several
months and are glad of the oppor
tunity to return to their homes. Their
sympathies have been largely with
the strikers, believing that the dep
uties appointed by the mine;-owners
were responsible for much of the
violence.
The strike has resulted in hun
dreds of the miners being driven from
the district to other fields to seek
employment. The tight will be kept j

SEATTLE. April 14.—Medill Me
Cormack, of Chicago, vice-president
of the Progressive National commit
tee, in an interview given out here
today, stated that the Bull Moose
party and the Republicans were as
far apart as they had ever been and
that the party would not consolidate
with the Republican party but will
fight it out to the bitter end.
McCormack predicted that at the
next congressional elections the Pro
gressives would show great gains in
all the districts and that both the
Democrats and Republicans would
have smaller majorities wherever they
were successful.
"The old machine politicians are
still in control of the Republican ma -
chine,” says McCormack, “and they
refuse to be guided by the progressive
ddsires of the people, who demand the
policies of the Progressive party and
cannot secure them through the old
organizations which are all boss rid

LONDON, April 14.—Suffragettes
who are prone to emphasize the de
cadence of the male species have dis
covered a handy argument in the com
parative stature of the kings and
queens of Europe. Nearly all the
monarcbs are short or than their wives.
George of England is several inches
less than Queen Mary in height. The
German empress is so much taller
than her husband that the Kaiser usu
ally has her sit down when they are
photographed together. The czarina
makes her husband look like Mr. Pip
when she stands beside him. Queen
fcha, Of Spain, is nearly a head taller
than Alfonso, and King Victor, of
Italy, barely reaches the shoulder of
Queen Helene.
