A CUBAN PLAGUE
WHICH BAFFLES THE SKILL
OF ALL PHYSICIANS ON
More Terrible Than the ' Bubonic
Scourge Match Industry of
Coos Cmmy Booker Wash-.'.
. ingion Held in Disrepute
by the Colored Race
Other News.
New York, Sept. 1 Menaced by
a disease which baffled the best
medical skill of tbe. island, the
health department officials of Cuba
have appealed to the authorities of
Columbia University and Jefferson
Medical College of Philadelphia for
aid in determining the nature of
the affliction.' .
The most eminent pathologists
and bacteriologists of these institu
tions are working, says the World,
in conduction with the medical au
thorities of the Marine hospital
and public health department of
the United States government in an
effort to determine ibe nature of the
disease. All details of the investi-
gatlon are refused. ' '
The disease in many of its symp
toms resembles bubonic plague, but
it is said to be more swift : in its
progress and more deadly iff its
effect. 1 It ' first appeared "."' some
months ago in the isolated town of
Daiquri, province of Santiago. Men
employed in the iron mines in that
locality were affected. : The disease
did not yield to treatment : and the
mortality was greater than in yel
low fever or any kindred disease.
The inhabitants became panic-
stricken "and an American steel
company with large interests there
took up the; matter. Referencesto
the New "Va.rk.Jand Philadelphia ex
perts followed. ' " ' 1 . -
Description of the disease furn
ished' by v, the Cuban physicians
shows that it presents ' the worst
symptoms of yellow fever, black
fever, and spotted, fever. The patient-
is osually " dead a few
hours after first complaining of ill
ness and turns a bright yellow after
death.'
-: It is in the death that the disease
presents its must horrible phase. The
victim's pulse rushes to 160, a heart
beat which is deemed almost im
possible by physicians of expert
ence. The respiration counts 58.
These organic dHturbanc-s, "with
temperature of 109 and 108, do not
cause lnetant death, but the high
tever generated soon burns out life

Portland, Sept 1. The Oregoni
an says: A match factory manas
ed by a woman, and -of sufficient
importance to employ 18 people,
was one of the curiosities found by
Jefferson Myers, president of the
State Exposition Commission, on
bis trip into Coos county in Lewis
and C'ark Fair interests, and a
miniature of the factory in working
operation will probably1' be one of
the attractions at the exposition of
1905." ; Mrs. Elva Dyer, " woman
manager of the unique industry,
has definitely promised to make a
display of the factory" product, and
is expected to agree to an exhibit of
actual matchmaking.
The factory is located at Bandon,
and is run by San Francieco people.
Three hundred cans, each contain
ing a gross package of matches, are
turned out daily..' The material
used ia burnt Port Orford cedar,
timber . burned 1 perhaps ; over 40
years ago being utilized, -f A' profit
of $50 a day is said to accrue from
this little-known industry,. and Mrs.
Dyer is prospering.
Boston, Sept. 1. The suffrage

Highlands, Sept. 1. Fickle
winds today interfered with the
yacht races for the American cup.'
At dawn the day was still, but la
ter in tbe morning it blew out of
the northwest a amart seven-knot
gale that gave promise of batter
thing?. The wind however, did
hot last long and died away a knot
at a time until at 9 o'clock, when
the Reliance and Shamrock left for
the starting mark, it was blowing
about three knots. At noon it bad
died out altogether. Under .the
roles the boats bad to remain at the
Mines until one ' o'clock, at which
hour the rega tta committee prompt

Another attempt will be made to

today: "I am sorry we cannot wind
this thing up. ; I am needed at
home to attend to my business, and
will probably sail a day or two af
ter tne races. I cannot go west, as
I contemplated."
Sir Thomas makes no secret of
the fact that the Reliance is far and
away a better boat than the Sham
rock.
bona, Sept. 1. mere seems, no
hope today that war between Bul
garia and Turkey will be averted.
Large bands of - insurgents , have
crossed the frontier and are over
running Northern Macedonia,
where a tremendous outbreak may
occur at any moment.
It is expected here that one or
two other of the countries will offi
cially declare war within the next
48 hours. . . , ) .
' Reports come from Uskub that
small detachments . of Turkish
troops sent to garrison the villages
in the province are committing ter
rible outrages on tbe peasants. Tor
ture unheard of , is being practiced
on men,' women and children. Bul
garian residents are unable to pro
tect themselves, and there seems no
other way than to call the govern
ment to the support of tbe terrified.
rrinoe Ferdinand 13 very myste
rious in his movements, and si ace
yesterday has been . lost sight of
completely. His position is one of
certainty on the subject of war, and
with his return to Sofia the hnal
climax will come. , . . ,
The fearful excesses in interior
Macedonia are subjects for many
shocking stories. ; I) is stated today
that the Bulgarian populace is al
most frenzied in its eagerness to
take up arm's against the Turks,
but the low ebb of national finances
exerts a pacifying influence.
Washington, Sept. 1. Secretary
Hay today is in receipt of ' the fol-
owmg cablegram from Consul Kav-
endall at 1 Beirut: "Attempt on
Magelssen's life failed utterly. i : It
was a narrow escape, but the vice

the first ' .dispatch coming direct
from Beirut regarding the affair.

MINISTER BURGLAR
CHARGED WITH ENTERING
A HILLSBORO HOME AND
ROBBING INMATES
Minister" Fails to Find Bondsmen
and Goes to Jail Frequent
Visitor at the.HouseHis
, ' Career in Albany.
Hillsboro, Or., Sept. l.'A bold
and partially successful robbery in
a dwelling house was committed
here just outside the city limits this
morning , at 2 o'clock. A thief en
tered tbe upper story of E. H. War
ren's house, went into an apartment
occupied by Mrs. F. B. MacKinder,
of St. Helena. Cal., a guest at the
Warren place; and robbed her of $7
in cash, a watch, valued at $1UU
and two valuable rings. The rob
ber was cool and collected , but ov
erlooked . $50 in currency whi h
was wrapped up in a handkerchief,
and which was in the same hand
satchel from 'which he took the
money he made way with,
Mrs. MacKinder was first awaken?
ed by a cloth, saturated with chlor
oform, being thrust in her face.
She screamed and aroused Miss
Minnie Warren, who came into the
room and insisted on remaining
there. .The noiss awakened ' Mr.
Warren, who slept on the ground
floor, and who came up stairs arm
ed with a rock.' The burglar told
Mr. Warren to put tbe missle on
tbe floor, and when he did not com
ply with orders, fired a shot in his
direction. - : -
The three inmates of the bouse
were in fear of their lives and were
unable to make much resistance.
Miss Warren was very active how
ever, and at .one time nearly un
masked the offender. . She is posi
tithat8he knevr' feher manV and
has dee bribed his clothirg and the
hat he " wore. Identification -was
not entirely impossible, as the burg
lar had l'ghted a lamp to assist in
his work. . The current descrip
tion is that the thief , wore a dark
suit, a dark Derby hat, and black
hose, having removed his shoes.
He was of medium height and build
and had brown eyts. .
" Hillsboro, Or., Sept. 2. Rev. R.
H. Kennedy, a Congregational min
ister, who has within the last few
years preached in several Washing
ton county pulpits, was this after
noon arrested on a warrant charg
ing him with burglarizing tbe bouf e
of E. H. Warren end holding up
Mrs. MacKinder, Miss Warren and
her father.
Tne description of the burglar as
given by the ladies who saw bim
by lamplight, answers to Kennedy.
Moreover, Kennedy had been a fre
quent visitor to the Warren home,
knew Mrs. MacKinder was there,
aad that she was to leave for Cali
fornia this week. He was not un
familiar with the house, and the
man - who effected the robbery
showed an intimate acquaintance
with the construction of the build
ing. .' ! y--- :- ' r.h,,v
The ladies were in a position to
recognize the voice, although there
was an attempt to disguise it.
The officers think that the bur
glar came from the ' direction of
Portland and that he first came to
this city directly after tb? , robberv

there: eg no
and then went back to Portland by
another road. . - .
Mr. Kennedy has a wife and six
small children, residing in thia
place. For several months he ha
been without a regular charge and
bas bad but little income from
preaching. . He has Jbeen trying to
locate parties on timber claims over
the state for some time.
Mrs. R. Wagner, an estimable.
German woman, residing on ' tha
next block to the Kennedy home,
alleges that shortly afier 2 in the
morning she heard a noise over at
the minister's house, as of some one
moving about. Her husband states
that this was about 2:15, which
gives plenty of time in which to
cover the distance from the Warren
residence.
The Warren family are highly re
spected, educated and people with
no prejudices. Miss Warren's brav
ery in trying to tear the mask from
tbe intruder's face shows that she
was not so excited but that she
could make a fairly judicial exam
ination of the man who rtol" the
money, watcb and ring', Aside
from this her high eeoce f. honor -would
not permit her 10 wrong
another, and her ideas as to whom
the robber is have weight with the
community.'.
Mr, Kennedy asserts his inno
cence and says he will be able to
prove ah alibi. He was very cool
after the effects of the arrest .wore
away, and states that he is very
much surprised.
Justice Bagely fixed hia bail at
$1000. Kennedy was unable to
find bondsmen and will spend the
night in jail.
Mr. Kennedy is from 35 to 40
years of age, probably 5 feet 7 or 8
inches in height, well made, bat
not very heavy, dark brown eyes,
dark hair inclined to curl. He
wears a black suit, sack coat, and
black derby. He is finely educated
and uses the best of language. He
claims to be expecting money from
the;nda'IQ.vtalkie2 of
buying a valuable property here.
it isaia that be has made liberal
ubo of his credit. '
A peculiar feature of the whole ,
afFiir is that Miss Warren and her
father were great admirers of Mr.
Kennedy and made a spirited at
tempt eome months ago to bave
him retained as pastor of the Con
gregational church for another year.
Albany, Or., Sept. 2. J. H.
Kennedy who was arrested for rob
bery in Hillsboro, was pastor of the
Congregational church in Albany
for about two years. He came bere
from California in September, 1900.
Mr. Kenoedy, who is a graduate of .
Harvard University, is a fluent
talker with a pleasant address and
his congregation was large at first.
But his career in Albany was mete
oric and after the first few months
Kennedy' success was submerged
in his growing unpopularity. But
little over a year after coming to
Albany Mr. Kennedy lost the last
vestige of influence by bis identifi
cation with the Anti-Saloon League.
His congregation dwindled away
until he spoke to empty seats. Ken
nedy was president of the Anti-Saloon
League, was active to the ex
tent of radicalism and many ar- -

ny, it is said, indebted in various
sums to a number of people.
