1t becomes more and more apparent
that it will require terrible drain upon
the Spanish resources to retain Cuba as
Spanish province. Calling for REINFORCE
ments seems to have been the principal
work of General Campos since his arriv-
al, months ago, in Cuba. More than 4O.-
900 of Spain's best troops have been sent
him, and before fall fully $4,000 of
Spains 10000 troops will be in Cuba,
requiring the calling out of her so, 900 re-
serves for home service. This fact, with
the discouraging condition of the Span
ish treasury, shows the desperateness of
the Spanish cause. 1t also shows the
determination of the Revolutionists,
whose troops number now less than 49,
600, hut increasing, to succeed in this eff
fort. Before them they have the exam
pie of the victorious Americans in their
struggles for liberty. In many ways the
cases are parallel, for, small as is the Gu
ban army, it is no smaller, compared
with the Spanish, than was the Ameri-
can compared with the British. The
Cubans not only have the same unjust
taxations imposed upon them as had the
Americans, but their condition is many
fold worse; it is pitiful. Spain has not
only refused every supplication for re-
lief, bur has each year given stronger ev-
idence of her convictions that Cuba is
her legitimate prey, to be worked simply
for profit, wringiug from the small is
land $26,OOO,OOO as an annual tribute.
Reduced almost to the want of bread,
the Cubans have risen, and with a cour-
age that surprises the world and excites
its admiration, are apparently carrying
on a successful conflict.

THE HAND.
The Major Concluded That 1t Was Too
Much For Him.

1t was the last jack pot. Tom, who
sat at the Dealers left, had opened it for
the limit, $40. Blankey, the next man,
raised the entrance fee $40, as did also
the major and the colonel. The dealer
dropped o1s and all the others trailed
along with the colonel's raise.
1t had been previously agreed that
while the limit was to be $40, the play
ors might increase their bets beyond
that figure il the understanding was
mutual during the play of any hand.
The betting soon ran high, and Blankey
and Ton were not long in discovering
that the pot must go to either the colo
mel or the major, and they dropped out.
"I'll have to raise yo' the limit, -
said the colonel.

he tried to look unconcerned while he
turned his cards face down Oh the table.
"Fifty," replied the colonel, after
carefully scanning tho come Of his

"Raise it a hundred, colonel"
The colonel scanned his hand again.

colonel laid out his gold watch, a dia.
mond ring and 500 in bills. "We'l
call it $500 in all"
The pot had now grown to large pro.
portions. The other men gathered arount
the colonel's chair to watch the major.
"Good!' exclaimed the major. He
then drew from his pocket Il hlanl
check and filled it out to the order OF
"cash" for $500, which would raise the
majors bet $500. He was about to dro1

THE NEW BREWERY Company
They Have a Magnificent Plant Now
In Successful Operation on the
West Side,
And Are Doing "a Very Satisfactory
Business-Plans for the
Future.

A TRIBUNE reporter Friday paid a
visit to the plant of the American Brew
ing company on the West side, pear the
Sun river bridge, aud was shown over
the premises by the courteous managers.
The American Brewing g. Mailing COM
pany have without doubt one of the
finest equipped breweries in the north
west, nothing being lacking in the way
OF machinery or equipment which is to
be found in the most modern brewery
buildings.
The structure ia built of brick and
stone and is S7xS3 feet in Dimensions.
The cost of the building and machinery
was about $4,000, Beginning on the up
per floor tbs visitor ls shown the grinding
mill, a machine of ingenious construction
which will grind the materials for a brew,
consisting Of about 5000 pounds of bar
Icy, in a little more than half an hour.
1t is provided with q row of magnets
which catch any nails or metal which
might accidentally get among the grain
before it gets into the mill. From the
mill the material passes directly to the
hopper, a large iron vessel, where the
charge is weighed, and from which it
passee into the big copper kettle, which
has Il capacity of 90 barrels. Here it is
boiled by means Of steam. The kettle
can easily brew two charges per day, SO
that it is capable Of turning out 1870 bar
rels of beer per day with ease. A hot
water kettle stands zeal the brewing
kettle, and from the latter the
brew passes to the mash
tub, with a capacity Of over
100 barrels. Through the perforated
bottom Of this tub the beer passes to
the copper receptacle or the ground
floor, whence it is pumped to the
top story to pass through the beer cooler
and descend 10 the fermenting tubs, and
finally to tho cold storage watts.
In the lower cellar are IL upright watts
for storage with a capacity of 10 barrels
each and II horizontal watts with a ca
pacity of $50 barrels each. In the upper
cellar arc II storage watts with ii capacity
of so barrels each and y fermenting
tubs with ii capacity Of 100 barrels each.
The ice machine in the brewery is the
only one of the kind in tho state and
works on rhe ammonia principle. An
s. horse power engine UNI the machine
and furnishes power to the rest of the
plant. The ice machine has a capacity
equal to the production OF % tons of ice
per day.
Water is brought to the building from
the Sun river, about 1,l0O feet away
The keg washing department is pro
vided with all manner of labor saving
devices, and nothing is found lacking
which will conduce to economy or eff
cheney in the conduct of the business OF
the brewery.
The company expect in the neal flu.
ture to put in new mating plant. They
say that they have met with a business
more than equal to their expectations
on starting out and that within a month
on two they expect to have on the
market an even better article of beel
than that furnished at present. They
also expect very soon to put in a bottlint
works and have bottled beer on the
market.

whom the sheriff does not name, but
WHOM he describes as deiiveryman for

sheriff says that the man delivered some
bran at the county jail Saturday,
while the horse meat was there,
and, seeing the meat, remarked that the
sheriff was laying in some choice cuts
for tue prlsonere and that it wac too
good for them and he would appropriate
some for himself. He proceeded to cut
out a tender, juicy tenderloin, and the
cook told him to take more. which he
did.
A few hours later he returned and,
when he had finished his story of the de-
light with which he had consumed the
luscious meat. he was told whence the
meat came. He grew sick Immediately
and will not soon attempt to josh the
