Judging from Gen. Campos remarks
and from the provoking insolence shown
by the Spaniards towards our vessels, il
almost seems that Spain would like to pre-
cipitatc q war with the United States for
pretext to get out of Cuba. Political
strife at home is likely to prevent grant
ing of autonomy to the island and retard
the success of Spanish arms, while the
courage of the insurgents is rising with
every DAYS delay.

1t would seem little strange if the
new woman should reduce sportsmanship
to the level Of physical endurance. but
that is what Brookline, Mass, woman
proposes to do. She Is recognized as an
expert hunter but has never been able to
capture a moose. In few weeks she will
start with a guide on the trail of a moose
with the view of walking the animal
down. Miss Ripley, who will be obliged
to wear bloomers and moccasips. with
four or five pairs of stockings, will have
to travel right along, but after three days
she and her guide can take it easier, as by
the third day the moose's feet will begin
to bleed and he will be obliged to go
slower. They will travel until dark, then
camp on the trail of the moose, then be
up and on the move by daylight. After
three days the moose is obliged to rest
oftener and Is easily tracked by the blood
from his feet. In the spots where he has
lain great pools of blood are always
found. By the end of five days the feet
of the moose are worn out and he can
travel no more. Then, when the hunters
come up with him there is fight and he
is soon killed. The new woman doesn t
intend to take any chances on being freed.

1t is said that some of the Bangor lum

Twin lake region. These lands were in

served in the Revolutionary war and

upon their claims. 1t is thought by some
