Washington, Feb. 17. A close watch on the situation created in Cuba bj the insurrection of the Liberals was continued by the State Department todiy, but no further steps were decided on, and official reports indicated no radical development either in the plans of the rebels or those of the Gorerment. The rebels still hold Santiago Camaguey, and minor successes in small towns and in the country aear-by ere reported. The GoTernment troops, it was said, iwere moridg steadily toward the .occupied districts. Owers were spent today to Min ister Gonzales the 12 American consular officers in Cuba and the ommanders of the American taaval vessels at Havana, Santi ago and Guautanamo, to make a thorough investigation not only of the military phases of ,the sit uation, but of its economic and political aspects. It was declared that unless made necessary by developments, no step towards interference by the United States would be taken un till the reports had been studied. Administration officials have made it plain that there is no disposition- to interfere with Cuban affairs unless they are compelled to do so in order to cmaratitee the' oeoole of that country a stable government.

New York Feb. 19. In a forty minute battle between a German submarine and the French line steamship Guyane off the coast of France, on January 22, the submarie was sunk, according to officers of the freighter which arrived here today from Bordeaux. The Guyane was one day out of port. At 3:30 p. m. the Captain said the submarine was sighted some distance to port, and appa rently endeavoring to cross the freighter's bow in order to stop her. The submarine fired a shot which fell short, and thg Guyane then turned sharply to star-board so that the big gun mounted at the stern could be trained on the approaching vessel. The sub marine fired tfcp second torpedo, which fell considerably short and the" third, which struek the water close by the freighter. Meanwhile the Guyane sent one sheli, which failed to hit, but struck very near the mark, the second shot from the Guyana, the captain said,, hit the submarine fairly, and the underwater boat was seen to col lapse. highest sickness rates oi any month of the year. Last year this fact was well tested in New York City. A census was taKen, in August and another one in Februaryof a district that con tains almost 30,000 people. The August census showed that .the sickness rate was only 8 per 1,000 population while the February rate was Z5. in otner woras, there was . three times as much sickness in February as in August. The census showed further that 75 percent of those unable to work in February were ill with colds, pneumonia, bronchitis, and diseases o'f the breathing apparatus. Rheumatism and digestive disturbances were num erous as also were nervous disea ses. "It appears from the foregoing statement that February sickness is largely preventable, therefore there is much a man can do to guard his health during this month. Fortunately for those who would take such precautions, usnally whatever is done to guard against one disease guards again st several. To prevent colds whiph is inlhe main "to create a resistance to colds by living and sleeping in fresh" air and by avoiding . overheated rooms, people with colds, overeating and constipation will largely prevent also pneumonia, grippe and -brSiicMti;.i-: 'i'os?

Haters Before li'OBniment. VVashington, Feb 19. With the German crisis apparently sus pended in midair i was officially stated today that President Wil son will rot go before Congress "at present.' There was no disposition to state, however, that the President has determined not to lay the de mands of the international situa tion before Congress some time between now and the expiration of the 64th Congress on March 4. Despite the clearly defined lessen ing of the international tension, 't was apparent in administration circles that the President will not illow the present Congress to die without making ample provision to meet any emergency that may grow out of the German crisis. It was seated that will probab ly go before Coi gress late this veek or early next week. The slackening of the German :ampaign of destructiveness on he high seas, and the fact that is yet no "over act" had been ommitted involving American oves and American ships brought a general feeling of relief to Washington. Tcnigbf in some juarters there was even an in clination to believe that some neans may be found for prevent ing the German situation from developing into open hostilities between the two nations. No one in authority, however, would ac cept the responsibility for ppint ing out a method of accomplish ing this result. But it was clear that the administration generally feels less alarmed over the situa tion than it has at any time since relations between the two nations were broke off. $100 Reward, $100. l he readers ot this paper . 1 will be pleased to learn that there ' is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is cat arrh.
