SPANIARDS MISSING
Army in Cuba Short Fifteen
Thousand Men.
IT IS A SERIOUS BLOW TO SPAIN
Tbe Search for Their Wheraboatl Going
on Day and Night A Skirmish
With Insurgents.
St. Louis, Feb. 25. A epecial to a lo
cal paper from New York eaya :
A dispatch from Havana reports 15,
000 Spanish soldiers missing in Cuba.
The fact has been communicated to the
Madrid government, and the search for
them is going on day and night.
Official circles are in a state of alarm,
for 15,000 men, with 15,000 rifles and
500,000 cartridges is an enormous item
to the Spanish army, The disappear
ance of the men will ultimately be
traced to either death in battle, the
number of which has been concealed to
bide Spanish losses, their detail to posi
tions in various parts of the island, of
which no record has been kept, or de
sertions to join the insurgents. The
Spanish records show that entire garri
sons have joined the rebels, with their
arms, in every province of the island.
An order waB issued by General Wey
ler several days ago for a report of the
number, positions and condition of the
army. The responses to this, It is eaid,
have increased the confusion and there
are reports from reliable sources that
there are 20,000 men instead of 15,000 to
be accounted for.
Concern for Mlchelsen.
San Francisco, Feb. 25. Much con
cern is felt by the friends, of Charles
Micheleen of this city, who was arrested
at Havana today for visiting the insur
gent camps. Michelsen has been promi
nently connected with newspaper work
in this city for several years, and is
well-known throughout California. Last
November, he went to Havana as the
correspondent of the New York Journal
aud San Fraucieco Examiner.
THE ST. I.OCI8 NOMINEE.
A Prophet Who Says Gallon) Will
Be Chosen.
Washington, Feb. 25. The man who
predicted Garfield's nomination and
Cleveland's election says that Senator
Cullom will be the nominee of the St.
Louis convention. This man is Dr. Kei
eer, of Washington, and he is a spiritu
alist. He claims to have foretold all the
presidential nomination!! for the past
25 years. His predictions concerning
Garfield's nomination attracted much
attention by the way in which it was
fulfilled. While the attention of the
whole country was riveted on Grant and
Blaine and Sherman in 1SS0 and no one
dreamed of Garfield aB a candidate. Dr.
Keiser annouuced that he would be the
candidate. He was laughed at, but he
persisted that be had received a straight
tip from the spirit world, and that Gar
field would be the next president.
The doctor predicted the first election
of Grover Cleveland and also the second.
He has won some reputation in Wash
ington as a prophet, and' now he says
that Senator Cullom is to be the next
republican leader. He called on the
senator in his committee-room at the
capitol, saying that he wanted to see tbe
man he knew was to be the next presi
dent. Sr. Keiser is not a crank, nor is
he seeking notoriety. He is a believer
in spiritualism, and believes that the
revelations coming to him from the
spirit world are reliable.
He said he had never met Senator
Cullom, but would like to see him be
cause of what had been revealed to him
concerning tbe senator's future.
Senator Cullom laughed when told of
'the caller and his revelation, and was
. surprised to meet a very intelligent and

I I V "S ' f V V t
pleasant-appearing business man. who
chatted over political affairs for a few
moments and then retired, leaving the
senator an invitation to dine with him
after he became president. The senator
said he would gladly accept the invita'
tion should the prediction prove true.
A Husband's Crime.
Madison, Wis., Feb. 25. Mrs. A. W
Patterson was shot by her husband, who
then killed himself last night, at their
home in this city. Lettere, ostensibly
from both parents, were left to the chil
dren, saying the husband and wife" had
resolved to die together. This declara
tion, however, is opposed by the fact
that when found, the wife, who was in
her night robe, had one arm thrown
across her face as if to shield it, and
there was a bullet in her arm, while her
husband was fully dressed. Both at
teuded the revival services, conducted
by B. Fay Mills, daring the evening,
and had gone home apparently in the
best spirits. The family came here last
July from Algona, la., to educate their
children at the state university.
ENFORCING THE GAME LAW.
One Han Fined for Catching Mountain
Trout.
Hillsboeo, Or. Feb. 25. That a dep
uty game warden has been- appointed in
this county has become apparent in the
past few days. Yesterday J. Schieffin
was before Justice Knight, charged with
breaking the game law, in that he had
caught and had in bis possession last
Sunday mountain trout. He pleaded
guilty and was fined $25 and costs. S.
Green was also charged jointly with
Scheiffin, but has not yet been appre
hended. Yesterday afternoon Deputy
Game Warden George It. Baggerly re
ceived word that several persons were
breaking the law, on the Tualatin river,
near town. As a result, of his trip there,
a complaint was lodged this morning
against Welsey Garrison, but as yet he
has not been arraigned.
CLEVELAND NOT A CANDIDATE
He Will Soon Make This Determination
Public.
Indianapolis, Feb. 25. General W.
S. Fullerton, president of the National
Chickamauga Military Park commission,
who is here listening to the testimony
as to where the monument cf the Eighty
Indian regiment should be placed says
the personal friends of President Cleve'
lend understand full well that he will
not be a candidate for a third term. The
general says President Cleveland has
communicated this fact to several per
sonal friends in Washington, and will in
a short time announce his determination
in a letter. General Fullerton said to
Secretary Sherin, of the national demo
cratic committee, that it is settled that
Cleveland has made up his mind.
JERRI SIMPSON'S WISH.
Hopes Sirs. Lease Will Stick to the
Fulpit. '
Detroit, Feb. 25. Hon. Jerry Simp
son is to deliver a lecture tonight
When he arrived in the city he was
asked for an interview about Mrs. Mary
Lease. He said :
"I don'tknow whether Mrs. Lease
really means to abandon politics or not,
bat I hope she does. While a woman
of great ability, she is too aggressive and
independent. She won't tolerate any
body else's views, and is always causing
trouble. She's a lot better off in the
pulpit than in politics, and I hope ehe'll
stay there."

FEED UPON - SALT WATER.
Countless Living Things That Exist in the
Depths of the Ocean.
The salts of the sea have fed through
out all time countless things which
have throng'ed its waters and whose re
mains now form the rocks of the con
tinents or lie spread in beds of unknown
thickness over 66,000,000 square miles
of the 343,000,000 square miles of
the ocean's floor; they have lent the
substance to build the fringing reefs
of the land and all the coral islands
of the sea, and . there are at present,
on the basis of an average salinity of
3y2 per cent., in the 290,700,000 cubic
miles of water which makes up the
oceans, 90,000,000.000,000,000 tons, or 10,
173,000 cubic miles of salt. This is
sufficient to cover the areas of all the
lands of the earth with a uniform layer
M salt to a depth of 1,000 feet.
It seems, says Popular Science
Monthly, that the sea was made salt
in the beginning as a part of the grand
design of the Creator to provide for the
system of evolution which has been go
ing on since the creation. -Many dis
tinct species of living organisms live in
the sea as a result of its salinity, and
their remains have largely contributed
to the growth of continents. The three
great factors in accounting for the sys
tem of currents in the ocean,by which
it becomes the great heat distributor
of the globe, are changes of tempera
ture, the winds and salinity. The last
mentioned becomes an important fac
tor through the immediate and essen
tial differences of specific gravity and
consequent differences of level that it
produces in-different parts of theocean
through the action of evaporation and
rainfall.
