PLANTERS ABET REBELS.
Cubans Dislike Spain for Her Clumsy
Policy of Retaliation.

Policy of Retaliation.
NEW YORK, March ga special to
the World from Atlanta, Ga, says: A
gentleman at Mantanzas, Cuba, whose
reliability is above question. has written
the following letter on the Cuban rebel
lion.
"For three years past the planters,
hitherto loyal, have been put to a severe
test. Owing to the free sugar clause in
the Mckinley bill there was a great
boom in the sugar industry of Cuba.
The planters not only largely increased
their capacity but invested to the extent
of many millions in new mills and mach
inery. Then, like a crash, came the
announced policy of the United States to
cripple the very market upon which
Cuba had built her hopes
s'Spain Numbered in clumsy forms of
retaliation, instead of having at heart
the interests of those who had been so
true to her heretofore. Last November
the planters of Cuba held a meeting in
Havana, at which they adopted piteous
appeal to the home government. Capt.
General Callijo promised to forward it
with a personal Endorsement 1t is doubt
full if he ever did SO, but be that as it
may, the next thing the planters heard of
it, in January, was an intimation that
further meeting for any purpose would
be displeasing to the government Thus
deprived of even the right of Pc
tition, the planters have been brooding
at their homes, giving quiet aid and
support to the rebels. l have been
through a considerable part of the
island and everywhere men are rowing
about in small groups, avoiding the
military, but keeping them in constant
pursuit, while the planters are non-com-
initial, remaining just quiet enough to
prevent confiscation.
As soon as the troops leave any given
point it swarms again with the advocates
of revolution.
"Ihe harmony between the planters
and the discontinued is plain to be seen.
as is the fact that their traders have supe-
rior means of information"

WON'T INDORSE GRUBBs.
The POpulists Refuse to IndOrse the DEM

The Popu1ists Refuse to IndOrse the Dem
ocratic Candidates.
There was a lively scene at the Pop
ulist league last night over the indorse-
ment of candidate for mayor.
P etc Gish. ex-policeman, and others,
wanted DR. Grubbs, the Democratic can
didate for mayor. Endorsed. There was
another faction. led by E. B. Whaley,
who charged that the Endorsement of
DIR. Grubbs was sought in the interest
of Fellows to prevent the conservative
Democrats fEQm supporting Harrison.
They claimed that the numerous Dem
ocrats who had voted for Fellows at the
primary will vote for him at the cleo
ton.
The proposition to indorse DR.. Grubbs
was then voted down by an almost unani-
nous vote.
So far as the Populists are concerned
this action means that they will have no
candidate in the field but the memb
will take their choice among the other
candidates

JOKES ON THE FLINTS.
Fred Vesper Turns the Laugh on Them a
the Performance Last Might

Fred Vesper Turns the Laugh on Them at
the Performance Last Night.
The hypnotic entertainments by the
Flints at the Crawford opera house kept
large audience screaming with laugh
ter last evening.
The climax of the entertainment was
the side show vendors experiment, in
which six young men went through the
audience selling lemonade and peanuts.
Fred Vesper, who seems to be an I'M
usually good subject, stood behind
table on the rear of the stage and sold
tickets and explained the imaginary
banners
After the others had been reclaimed
by the DOCTOR he went to Vesper and
tried to awaken him. Vesper had a
good start, Ehowever, and would have
none of it. 'No free tickets today" he
said, as he brushed the doctor aside and
went on with the sale.
Soon the doctor interrupted him again.
''Little boy, you mustn't bother me-" said
Vesper, and the audience laughed
heartily.
Once during the evening Vesper
played a rather embarrassing trick on
Miss Flint. She had him laughing IN
der her Influence, but when she came to
awaken him he continued to laugh up
rOarously. After several futile efforts to
awaken him she seemed to become
alarmed, and the audience did too. Yes
per kept this up for few minutes, and
then suddenly stopped laughing of his
own accord. The laugh was then on
Miss Flint, but she was good humored
about it.
There will be another performance to-
night, and the one tomorrow night will
end the engagement here

GOYERNMENT AID.

Irrigation Board to Get Expensive Work
Done by Federal Governments.
The state irrigation board today de-
cided to open negotiations with the gen.
eral government with the purpose in
view of having the government make
experiments in the arid part of the state
which will be OF more value than any
thing the state board will be able to &C.
complish.
Judge W. B. Sutton of the state board
explained the plans by saying that if the
negotiations opened today are successful,
and the members of the board have every
reason to believe they will be, Kansas
will receive more benefit from the
government this summer than it would
be possible for the state board to accom-
plish with the appropriation at its dis
posal.
The state board proposes that the
United States government make meas
urements of all the streams flowing out
of the arid region west of the 98th merid-
ian. The government to furnish the men
who must be experts, the instruments
which are expensive, and the state board
will simply read the measurements
taken from the machines used in the
work.
Judge Sutton says under this plan
measurements would be taken of the
Solomon, Saline, Smoky, Cimarron and
Arkansas rivera.
If this is done the state irrigation board
will know just where it will be possible
to make the windmill system of irriga-
ton a success
The board decided positively on four
places where they will put in expert
menting plants: one each is to be located
in Hamilton, Grant, Gray and Sherman
counties.
The board decided to advertise for bids
for the equipment of the four stations
established, and adjourned to meet

RUINED BY EXPOSURE.

The Big Redwood Couldn't Stand a Wash
ingtOn Winter.
WASHINGTON, March 22-The inclem-
ent weather of the past winter has had a
serious effect on the trunk of the large
Sequoy, California redwood tree that
was such great attraction at the Worlds
fair and was afterwards brought to
Washington and set up in the grounds of
the agricultural department. Large por-
tions of the bark of the tree have fallen
off as the result of exposure to rain and
frosts.
Workmen are now engaged in replac-
ing these pieces, holding them in place
by wrapping wire tightly around the tree
and when this is completed an umbrella
like covering will be erected over the
top of the trunk, sufficient to keep the
rain from dropping down the Sides The
trunk is about thirty feet in height and
probably half as thick.
