In Casa de Lt Salva the population

Cei1°ta, Morocco, cable:. 4, The natives
in the region surrounding this seaport
are preparing to josh their fighting
forces at the heights before Melilla. A
holy war is being preached from Ceuta
to Moulmuga, and the whole country is
aflame with fanaticism. The position

where 30,000 warriors are congregated,
is considered Isere to be impregnable,
UPRISING MAY SPREAD.
Paris cable: Tho news of the ter-
rible defeat inflicted on the Spanish'
forces by Moors at Melilla and the con-
firmation of the extent of the insurrec-
tion in Spain causes apprehension here.
The triumph' of the Moors in the Riff
country, perhaps, will inflame all Islam
and lead to an uprising in Algeria and
the Soudan.
The attack upon French troops at
Colomb-Bechar the other day now is re -

'Barcelona solely to the anarchists, and

demand regarding military service, and
that it has already introduced a bill in

CAN THE RIOlI KEEP COOL IN NEW YORK
WHILE POUR ARE DYING WITII THE HEAT?
Many of New York's rich escape the heat by going to cooler clines
during the hot spells, or to the ocean.
Ilut the rich who remain in. the city don't 'suffer.
The homes of Carnegie, Mongan and other millionaires are fitted
with cooling apparatus, and blasts from miniature icebergs sweep
through their rooms. The great hotels, St. Regis, Astor, Waldorf-As-
toria and many others are cooled in the same way.
The finest type of roof garden has just been opened at the Astor
Hotel. No natter how nntelt money you have, you can't get up there
tvitdent a special card.
The garden covers 28 city lots. Terraces, flowers, palms, trees and
fountains are bathed in breezes that are blown from out a huge ice plant.
A great promenade, one-fifth of a mile in length, borders the roof.
Three and sometimes four orchestras play in these 28 city lots, and the
gardens are so arranged that the music of one orchestra does not clash
with that of another, Dining rooms fit for ne king, are in the garden,
and here, while the city beneath s welters, the man with the money find
absolute comfort—all the more s evert to him because it is a confar
wrested from nature for him by his money.

to go onto the grass. ° Early in the even-

find sleeping place in the parks.
As the night grows, silence settles
the parks. The elrildren are the last to
fall asleep, On the grass of •almost
every great park thousands of sleepers
pass the night fitfully. It is a sight
that can be seen in no other city in the
country.

tenement roof in New York that will

who live beneath it.
A week of hot weather in New York
shows how fatal the heat is.
Babies die at the rate of 15 or 20

emblem of the hot spell. Every other
Suicides increase. Tired men, unable
to sleep because of the heat and their
weariness, lose their reason. Scarcely
a night posses that some man or
woman dees not dump to death in the
river.
Workmen lose their lives during the
day's rash. Their minds and bodies
tired by the strain of the heat, they
make fatal missteps on scaffolds, or
wrong turns with their teams.
More than any one thing —besides
poverty ---the terrible heat of a New

White Plains, N. Y., Aug, 2.---Nelth<'r
Harry N. Thaw icor his counsel,
Charles Morsehauser, showed much
Interest to -day in a report.that Evelyn
Thaw intended to begin a divorce
suit as soon as the present proceed-
ings closed.
"It is the first intimation we haves
had of such it suit," said 11 Ir. Mors-
chauser, "and we have received no
notice from Mrs. Thaw or her at-
torneys,"
"Does Mi, Thaw intend to suo for
separation or • divorce on his own ac-
count?" the attorney was asked.
• "Not so ear as I know," he replied.
"Will' he contest his wife'° suit?"
"Most certainly, if slto brings it,"
ho said, "Mrs. Thaw has no ground
for a divorce. She has always been
well treated. At present she is re-
ceiving from the Thaw family $6,200 a
year."
It is said Mrs. Thaw will baso her
suits on the revelations of the pres-
ent trial regarding Thaw's alleged con-
duct at the house of Susan Merrill,
Mr. Morschauser called attention to
the fact that 'Thaw had denied these
stories.
"As for the Mrs. Reid, said to have
been introduced there by Mr. Thaw
as his wife," added Mr. Morschauser,
"that part of the story has not been
substantiated."
AIthough District Attorney Jerome an-
nounced at the close of'yestorday's ses-
sion of the sanity hearing that he was
"through" with.IIIarry K. Thaw, he re-
called him to the stand this morning.
The "two or three more questions"
which Jerome remarked yesterday he
might still have for the relator, proved
to bo a long string.
The District Attorney started his ex-
amination along the lines that thus far
have yielded his side the best results.
He prohed into Thaw's own ideas of his
mental condition and contrasted his ans-
wers with those of the fourteen alienists
who at various times pronounced him
insane. Thaw clung to his oft -repo ted
phrase that he was "not medically' in-
sane," although he might have been
"legally" so when he killed White. Jer-
ome was primed with the various opin-
ions of the experts, but Thaw seemed
to have them just as accurately fixed,in
his mind, and once or twice corrected
the prosecutor.
The court room was even warmer thee
hisyest counsel and
l 10.30ad. lastoni�ght ed with
ex-
amining a bundle of Jerome's documen-
tary evidence which he expected to have
to explain to -day. Nevertheless he pre-
sented the air of • a roan whose task is
over. His replies exhibited a calm confi.
dence that showed he was satisfied with
his previous showing and sure that he
was a match for the District Attorney.
He exhibited no nervousness and lass
anxiety .to display his mental acumen
than on former occasions,
"Well," began Jerome, "here were all
theee trained specialists who thought
you were insane?"
"Not all of theme" interrupted Thaw,
•:I don't think tltat Dr. Hamilton and
Dr. White did."
Thaw said that the alienists them.
-it'Ives suffered from "defective reason,"
and Jerome jumped at his chance.
"What did they niea,n by 'defective
rases'?"
"I think the term explains itself."
"Explain it,"'insisted Jerome. "What
tla you think it meant•;?"
Thaw looked down. ant was unable to
find words to frame his reply. - Iia
ec-°sled relieved when Jerome branched
t.-, the decision of Judge Morschauser,
before whoa Thaw macre his first effort
for liberty from Mattearvan.
"Didn't Judge Morschauser declare
that you were hopelessly insane?" de-
manded the cross-examiner,
"No," said Thaw. "lie hold that I
had net proved myself sane."
"'Whnte -i Judge Morseh•tnser said in one
his decision " aeeertecl Thew. "I ]snow dire
that he thing:» naw 1 ani perfectly sun',
for I talked with hint two week° age,
and he said so."
"l'%°plane what you Digin when you

"I am of the sate opinion as I told

have examined rn is the Met three yPur4
are, and as 1 know Judge-eloraeletueer
is—that I tun now one, and there Is ne
danger of the reelliTenee of my trouble.'
"1)o you think yen were legally sane
when you killed White?"
"That is my best opinion, but I don't
know,"
"What do you mean by being in-
sane?"
"Defective. reason," repjlied Thaw, and
found teo late khat he had brought the
decision right back to its former trou-
blesome question,
"What is 'defective reason'?" flashed
Jerome.
Thaw pandered and finally aniwerrd:
"Not being responsible for my acte."

The witness was again at his ease.
Speaking of the alienists, the witness
remarked, "You can't blame thein for
doing their best to make out a good
eaeo for me. They were being well Mehl
for it."
Tho tlistrict attorney suddenly switch-
ed to the testimony of Clifford W. Hart -
ridge and Susan Merrill. Thaw denied
that he land ever rented rooms in the lat-
ter house.
"Do yott think you were innocent or
guilty when you killed 'White?" asked
Jerome, nimbly jumping back again.
Justice Mills put the question this
way, "Do you think you are. now an in-
noneent man in the eyes of the law?"
"As the law is laid down for a jury,"
answered Thaw, "I think 1 am inno-

Thaw murmured something about
