WAS THE DOCTOR A TRAITOR?

The strongest evidence, according to our
mind, that DR. Zertucha was responsible
for Maceo's death, is the concluding sen
tence of a recent statement made by
him:
'Maceo always admired the bra
very of the Spaniards, and had little
liking for Americans"
This was written to prejudice Ameri-
cans against the cause for which Maceo
died. No true friend of Cuban liberty
at this juncture would have thus sought
to dull American ardor for Cuban liberty

The Milwaukee Sentinel reports con-
versation with a gentleman of that city
who was formerly employed i'll the Cal
umet aud Hecla copper mine. While
thus engaged he witnessed numerous
tragedies aud some exceedingly narrow
escapes. Miners, of all men, need to be
men of steady nerves and ready wits.
Two of the best Of this Milwaukee mans
stories have to do with dynamite.
A blast was to be made, and man
was sent down the shaft to place the
dynamite and light the fuses. He had
inst finished this work-there were Ia
sticks Of dynamite-when to his horror
he saw the car start upward. A wrong
signal had been given, and up shot the
car.
It was all question Of few Sec
onds There was no time to summon the
car back. He set to work pulling out
the fuses, Perhaps there would be time
for that. And happily there was, but as
be drew the last one he fell in dead
faint.
Once I saw fellow workman save
his life by making goou catcn' IL Was
fortunate for him that he had played
baseball in his time
He was standing at the bottom of {
shaft waiting for bucketful of dyna
mite sticks that were being let down t.
him. The bucket was part way down
when he saw it strike against some OBJ
struction and turn partly over. Out fel
one Of the sticks. He watched it falling
in a zigzag course-a messenger of in
slant death. When it struck the hare
bottom, there would be a tremendou
explosion and an end of the miner.
But it did not strike the hard bottom
Like a player on the ballfield, the work
man put up his hands and caught tn
stick as deftly as if such a trick wer
only an everyday affair.
