AROUND THE WORLD TOGETHER
4 Lee Angeles Couple Have Started ON
the Greatest Tramp ON Record.

4 Lee Angeles Couple Have Started on
the Greatest Tramp on Record.
w. T. Williams, Jr., and his bride OF
q week have left their Los Angeles
homo on a novel trip around the world.
They left without luggage or money or
food, with nothing but the clothes on
their backs and few things In their
pockets. Mr.. Williams Is son Of Dis
trict Attorney w. T. Williams. Like
his father he is a big, stalwart man,
capable OF withstanding all sorts OF
hardships. Some ten days ago he sur
prised his friends by announcing his
intention Of getting married, and about
Q week ago turned up with a lovely
bride and spent his honeymoon at the
Russ house. The story now goes that
he made a wager Of $4,000 with his
uncle that his wife had courage enough
to updertake journey about the world
without either OF them having any
money or luggage. The condition was
imposed that not more than two years
should be occupied in the trip and that
the travellers must not receive any help
from friends. but must earn every cent
they get from the time OF departure I'M
til their return. The conditions were
promptly agreed to. and as no particu-
lar preparations were necessary, it was
decided to commence the long journey
at once. The friends of the bride and
groom assembled at the hotel, and the
crowd was increased by a number of GU
rious spectators, so that when the last
good-byes were said and the plucky lit
tie woman and her big husband took
the first step from the doors they were
greeted by cheers from an assembly Of
several hundred people. They bowed
their thanks, and trudging along were
soon at the city limits and fairly start
ed on their way. San Francisco and
Seattle being visited then the road lies
straight for the Orient. The under
taking Is actuated by desire for sight
seeing and adventure as well as by the
$4,000 purse which is made up on the
venture.

Cubans Feel Confident.


New York: Gen. Maceo, leader of
the Cuban forces in the field, has writ
ten a letter to Gen. DO Queseda, secre-
tary of the revolutionary party in
America. He reports the Cubans in
good health and spirits and is satisfied
with the progress being made by the
revolutionists. The Spanish soldiers
are panic-stricken and surrender to
their besiegers who spare their lives.
In an interview Gen. DO Queseda says:
at would not be surprising IL Gen.
Campos carried out his oftrepeated
threat of throwing up the command
of Cuba. Information from CANA
guey tells of the success of Gen. Gomez
and of daily reinforcements to his
ranks. The city is in panic, and the
Spanish troops are afraid to venture
beyond its limits. In the hospital at
Puerto Principe there are over 400
Spanish soldiers, and the deaths aver
age IL per day. From Madrid am in
formed that the reserves of 1891 are so
Disguised at being ordered to Cuba
that the government is afraid OF
mutiny. The reserves declare that
they will join the revolutionary forces
when they are disembarked in Cuba. >
A recent arrival from Havana says:
Capt Gen. Martinez Campos called to-
gether all the volunteer organizations,
and demanded the transfer to the
regular army of 100 men from each
camp. General indignation prevails
among these organizations, but the
order will be enforced. The insurrec-
ton is more widespread than the peo-
Pile of Havana are allowed to believe
The insurgents win in every fight. In
the past four months the Spanish
forces have lost fully $4,000 men. No
reports are allowed to be circulated
concerning losses in battle. Thirty
thousand insurgents are known to be
in the field. large majority of the
people are hoping for concession from
spain in preference to independence
as the feasibility of a republic without
Negro domination would be difficult
to obtain.
