I'VE, the members Of the Young Mems

believe war is the worst method of attempt

have noted with pleasure that resolutions
favoring the arbitration of differences be-

have been passed by both houses of con-

therefore desire to press the advisability OF
properly concluding some wise method OF

INSANE PEOPLE DANCE EN MAsaUE.
Novel Sight Rt the kapsns Institute
for the Dementcd.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. ga special to the
Journal from Topeka, Kan, says: The state
asylum for the insane at Topeka was last
night the scene of a masquerade ball. For
two weeks the officials have been busily en-
gagged in arranging for the event, and the
interest manifested by the patients has more
than repaid them. More than 100 of the
patients took part in the dance and all were
costumed in precisely the same grotesque
or handsome fashion to be found at the or
dinary function OF the kind. Many of the
patients prepared their own costumes. Many
of them were elaborate and pretty, and none
of the humorous features were absent.
Every person permitted upon the floor was
en- masque. The casual visitor would have
noticed very little to suggest lunatic asy-
lum Occasionally a patient would become
boisterously mirthful when he or she would
be quietly removed. The fenale attendants
danced with the male patibnts, and vice
versa. Two insane people were not per
mitted t0 dance together, I'd through this
system the best of order was maintained
and confusion of all kinds was avoided.

THE IxsuRcENT PLANS.
Capture OF Eel yngIesito Considered
Important by the spnninrds.

HAVANA, Feb. 23.-As result OF EXIT
mishes on the plantation OF Ovideo In
Havana province, the insurgents lost three
killed and four prisoners and sundry arms
At Salud the citizens have killed four In
surgents. Captain Calvo and the garrison
Of Mariana and the regulars, volunteers and
firemen stationed at Punta Brava, fought
the insurgent bands Of villa, Nueva, Bal
domero and Acosta The latter left twenty
killed and fifteen prisoners and arms and
retreated with many wounded. Nineteen
prisoners of war have been placed in Moro
castle.
The authorities attach much Importance to
the capture of the insurgent leader, known
as ell ynglesito, news Of which was cabled
to the Associated press yesterday. This
man was on his way to Gomez, bearing news
of important movements by the bands he
represented, which will prove failure with
his capture. The Spanish authorities credit
this man with being the real author of the
insurrection in Matanzas province. He
has taken a leading part In all the insur-
rectionary movements and all the plans OF
the Insurgents in that province and enlisted
many men In the revolutionary cause by his
personal influence 1t Is expected here that
as a result Of his summary court martial
many of the insurgent bands will dispense.
There has been a notable access OF the public
spirit in general as result Of recent engage
ments with the insurgents.
The real name of the captured leader
Ynglesito is Alfred o. Godoy.
The insurgent leaders Vidal and the
mulatto Sanguilly have burned the village OF
Estante in the district of Alfonso Doce.
They have also burned the fields and houses
on the plantations of Triangulo at Limona,
only few miles south of Matanzas
The vanguard of Maxine Gomezs forces
under Sotolongo and Varona has penetrated
the province Of Matanzas and has passed
by the city Of Colon which is well eastward
Of the center of the province. Gomez's
movement is said to be designed to effect
the junction of his force with that of Lacret
in the province 'of Santa Clara.
The avowed purpose of the Spanish authori-
ties in the fighting which has been going
on for several days past on the borders
between Havana province has been to prevent
the proposed movement of Gomez and
Maceo eastward into Santa Clara.
