CUBANS WOULD STIR UP STRIFE Attack On American Minister Part of Plot. Washington Backs Ito Hoprosantativo and Wilt Sift Mattar—Cuban Proas Hosttie. Washington, I). C.—That [Enrique Maia, the rejxirter who attacked Hugh Gibson, American charge of the legation in Havana, last Monday night, was merely a tool in the hands of Cuban plotters who are antagonis tic to the United States and who would like to get the Cuban govern ment intj trouble with thio country, was the opinion expressed by Senor Antonio Martin-Rivero, the Cuban minister. He was of the opinion that Maze had been urged on by others who had made him think he had been insulted an<i that he should seek revenge. Under no circumstances, no matter what his provocation may have been, said the minister, was Maza justified in the action he took. That justice would be done in the case was the dec laration of Senor Martin Rivero. The minister has notified hla gov ernment of the demands of the United States that the assailant be punished. As soon as he learned of the attack the minister “spontaneously sent word t<> Cuba,“ he said, "that the United States had laws rendering virtually immune from attack the person of foreign representatives here and that, on account of this reciprocity, the full rigor of the Cuban laws could be ap plied. In case of a country which does not protect Cuban represents lives,’’ said the minister, “no further rights are extended to its diplomats than to any other foreigner.“ SLAYEH GETS HEPRIEVE. Acting Governor of California Law Works Unevenly. Says Sacramento, Cal.--Acting Governor Wallace, who is representing Gover nor Johnson while the latter in in the East, has issued a 14 days' reprieve to George Figueroa, who wan to have been executed nt San Quentin prison Friday, September 6, for the murder of his wife in l.os Angeles. The re prieve was extended on the request of Figueroa's counsel. A»ked concerning what action he intends to take in the six other cases of men condemned to be executed, the acting governor said: “1 have not made up my mind that the abolition of capital punishment would be an unmixed good. One of the strong points in the removal of the death penalty is the fact that under existing conditions the law works un evenly. A poor man suffers the ex treme penalty of the law and the rich man, by long-drawn out legal process es, usually escapes.“ BOY DROPS 2000 FEET. Lad Tangled in Ballpon Guy Rope Hurled From Great Height. Flint, Mich.—In the presence of hundreds of persons, 15-year-old Ches ter Bette, son of Bert O. Betts, of this city, was accidentally caught by the guy rope of a balloon ami cariied about 2000 feet in the air before the rope untangled and dropped him to death. He crashed against the roof of a barn and was still alive when spectators reached him, but he soon died. The tragedy occurred at a county fair, nnd when the balloon and aero naut shot upwards many persons thought the youth dangling at the end of the rope was a dummy. The heroic efforts of the balloonist to rescue the boy soon disclosed the truth to the crowd below. As the big bag crept higher and higher, the aero naut, in peril of his own life, could be seen working desperately to pull the dangling form to the trapeze. Final ly the rope swirled away from the lad and the form dropped. Humanity Growing Bald Los Angeles — "Within 500 years there will scarcely be a hair on any woman's head, and men will lose their hair 200 years before that time,” de clared Professor Carlton B. Wells, an eminent brain specialist of Paris, who is here on his first visit to the United States in 20 years. “Baldness will be thefhshion for both men and women,” he continued. "The development of brain power of the human race will precede the loss of its hair and to have curly locks will be a reflection on the intellect of the wearer.” War Exists, Says Aikens. I,ondon — “Germany and England are now in a state of war, “ said J. A. M. Aikens, Canadian member of Parliament from Brandon, Manitoba, who has just returned here from a con tinental trip, in an interview here. “The 'overt blow has not yet been struck,” he continued, “but when it is all may be over in three months or three days. When Canada under stands, I believe the Dominion’s hear ty help will be forthcoming.” Thibet Policy Attacked.

Salvation Army Barracks In London Filled to Overflowing—Mourn ing Purposely Omitted. London—Funeral services for tbe founder of tbe Salvation Army, Gen eral William Booth, were held at the Olympia. In accordsnce with the traditions of the organization, they were held without pomp or symbols of mourning, but were carried out with moving fervor and impressiveness. Thirty-four thousand persons partici pated. The body of the late general, in a plain pine coffin, rested high upon a white catafalqae in front of the big platform across the end of the hall, wh.-re all tbe chief officers of the or ganization were seated and where 40 bands of music were massed. Tbe crimson flag of the “army of fire and blood” which the general unfurled on M >unt Calvary was planted about tbe coffin. A bank of flowers, composed of the tributes sent by royalty and by many societies, wa« behind it. In front rows of chairs before the coffin were filled with representatives of various parties and also the equerry for the king, several mayors in the robes and chains of office, a delegation from the Stock Exchange, clergymen of all the Protestant churches and Jewish rabbis. But the rank and file of the great gathering was composed of the plain people, for whom the army works and of whom it is composed. The most solemn moments of the long meeting were when the coffin was borne along tbe center of the hall to the sonorous music of the “Dead March from Saul.” A small proces sion, representing many branches of the army’s activity, carrying the flags of their respective countries, preceded it Every seat on the floor and in gal leries was taken when the service be gan, and thousands of persons were banked around tbe outskirts of the hall, half of whom could not see over the shoulders of those in front, but who could hear and take their part At the conclusion of tbe ceremonies, prayers and hymns alternated for half an hour, after which a true Salvation Army revival service was conducted and an invitation given to sinners and backsliders to come to the “mercy seat” Dozens of persons forced their way through the crowded aisle to the mercy seats, where they knelt in prayer. In some cases the police were required to force a way for the penitents. The meeting was turned into a col ossal revival. The most impressive feature of the service then followed. Al) the sol diers of the army rose and recited the covenant of fidelity, pledging them selves to be faithful soldiers of tbe Lord. HOSTAGES' FATE FEARED. French Troops Too Busy to Rescue Officers From Moors. Paris—Public anxiety is becoming intense over the fate of the seven French officers held as hostages by the Moors under El Hi ba, at Marakesh, Morocco. Emissaries have been dis patched to Marakesh by the French commander, but have obtained no in formation. General Lyautey, the French resident governor, reported to the foreign office that the volunteers who had undertaken the dangerous duty had returned from El Hiba’s headquarters where they in vain tried to effect a ransom, but could not as certain the lot of the prisoners. The French column commanded by Colonel Mangin has been given full liberty of action to proceed to the suc cor of the hostages if such a step should be thought advisable. The French troops, however, are too fully occupied to do anything in that way. Insane to Be Uniformed. Sacramento — Brass buttons on bright uniforms of the army, uniforms of officers and men with gold braid and distinguishing stripes of rank will be worn by the volunteer army at the Agnews state hospital for the insane. One hundred uniforms of the obsolete kind have been sent to the asylum. Tbe management has interested the inmates in military problems. Com panies have been organized, forti built, dummy guns and dummy {field pieces constructed and the ^patients go through military maneuvers. Chinese Troops Mutiny. London—The Chinese government is endeavoring to hush up the mutiny of 8000 troops at Tung Chou, the Pekin correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says. The authorities, he adds, have taken precautions to protect all the roads leading to the capital, but the mutineers have defied the imperial troops, seized the road leading from Tung Chou to Pekin, and are looting the adjacent villages, defying all at tempts at capture. Hail Strips Orchards. Logan, Utah—Huge hailstones driv en by a heavy wind swept fields and orchards for 30 miles, stripping or chards, razing grain and clearing sug ar beet fields. The loss to agricultur ists and fruitgrowers has been enorm ous. The path of tbe storm was five miles wide.
