CHASING A STEAMER

Key West, Fla, July 6-About a. m.
Spanish man-of-war was plainly seen
from here chasing small steamer sun
posed to be the Three Friends or the Com
modore. The Spaniard fired shot after
the steamer but was too far off to do any
damage. Both vessels were about seven
miles from shore but only two miles from
the outer reef They were running mn
the reefs toward the main coast of Flor
ida. The revenue cutter Winona got up
steam Immediately and was followed by
the cruiser Maine which was living mt the
entrance of the harbor. Half an hour
later the steamer was out of sight and the
Spaniard was seen to change it's course.
The Winona is running up the reef under
full steam. The cruise Raleigh is said
to have passed her at 8 a. M, and as the
haze obscured clear vision, some think it
and not Spanish war ship may be the
pursuing vessel, but not much credence is
given to this opinion. The Raleigh
makes eighteen knots and could easily
have overtaken the pursued steamer.

THE RED MEN.

The Improved Order of Red Men
is growing rapidly in Arkansas,
Tribes having already been in
stituted in FIT. Smith, Little Rock,
Pine Bluff, Camden, Hot Springs,
Stuttgart, Brinkley, JoueSboro and
Gurdon, and one will be instituted
in Texarkana in a few days.
Thirty names are already on the
charter list of the Tribe to be in
stituted in this city, and represent
the legal fraternity, the medical
profession, and the various busi-
ness pursuits, The material com
posing the charter list here is very
best, and success of the Order in
these hunting grounds is assured.
Next week Deputy Great In
coherenee McGuin, will visit our city
and remain and institute the
Tribe.
The Improved Order of Red Men
is a social, fraternal and beneficial
society one whose history is so
closely identified with that of our
republic as tomake it of fascinating
interest to all Americans. The AS
sociations surrounding its origin are
rich in matter pertaining to Ameri-
can history.
1t was within its inner circles that
most of the plans of the Revolu-
tionary movement were proposed
and plans laid which insured the
success of their fulfillment. Nearly
all the leaders of the great move
ment were prominent members Of
its secret Councils. Secrcsy was a
feature of its strength. 1t was
necessary to conceal from the
British the knowledge of the exiS-
tence Of such an organization,
therefore the local Tribes (or lodges
were known by various of dis
similar names. Yet all had secret
communications and the same signs,
grips and passwords, so that a
member of one Tribe could make
himself known at once to a member
of another.
1t was essential that some secret
means of fraternal confidence and
trust be established and brought in
to use by the patriots of those
stirring days, hence the organization
of the Red Men. The pages of our
common school hist ories are inter-
spersed with incidents of it's exis-
tence. Among the most prominent
OF these, perhaps, is the world
famed Boston Tea Party" which
was accomplished by a committee
from the local Tribe in Boston.
Lees band was composed of mem
bers Of this fraternity
The signatures on the Declara-
ton Of independence itself may be
