CUBAN WAR NOTES.
ADVI0ES BY MAIL THAT CANNOT
COME BY CABLE.
Maceo is Moving For the Open Country
and Relies on the Insurgents in His
Rear to Portect His Movements.

Key West, Fla, Nov. 5.-Ad-
vices from Cuba give plain de
scriptiOns of the movements of
the insurgents that cannot be
sent by cable from the island.
Antonio MaceO has moved to the
open country, that is to the south
of Pinar Del Rio, with the inten-
ton of making an attempt to
cross the trocha, protected in the
meantime as he hopes by insur-
gents at the rear of the trocha.
He is supposed at present to be
at CarOlja in the direction of
Majana. If he does not want to
give battle he will be obliged to
go further toward Dayanigus or
PlunOvara, thus getting by La
Gloria to La Sierra. 1t is thought
probable that it would be impOs-
sible for him to pass by the south
coast to the southern portion of
Pinar del Rio, because Gen. Wey-
Ter has stationed 1000 cavalry to
prevent that movement near
Candeleria.
Capt. Gen. Weyler's columns
are fortifying the stragetic posi-
tons taken by the insurgents in
the mountains of Pinar del Rio
so as to form a strong base of OPP
eratiOns. When once these are
finished, Gen. Weyler calculates
he will be able to dispose of -
600 more men in the pursuit of
MaceO and it is the general opin-
ion that he will be able to give
him a decisive blow. The insur-
gents have dynamited the culvert
of the railroad at San Cristobal
in the province of Pinar del Rio,
OBTAINING passenger train until
the next day.
The military governor of Ca
bazar, Havana province, learned
that the insurgents were in the
habit of passing daily across the
River Menderas. He prepared
an ambuscade, as the result of
which one insurgent was killed
and twelve, including the leader,
La FOurche, were wounded in
the fight.
The splendid farm house of San
Miguel, near Mayugo, has been
burned by the insurgents. They
also attacked the village of Ma
yugo, plundered the stores and
burned the houses. The troops
made a gallant stand, but were
unable to drive off the insurgents
before they had burned the town.
The fort only occupied a small
part of the village. The insur-
gents left three of their killed in
the streets when they made
their retreat. The numberless
families left homeless took ref
uge on the plantation of Bulge
Munro. The insurgent leader,
La Guirras, it is supposed, with
some of the insurgents, are ac-
tive in the neighborhOod of Gu,
ana Baza, just across the bay
from Havana, and have made
several feints to attack the vii
lage with the intention of Great
ing a sensational diversion. But
the government has sent COM
missioners in pursuit of them.

WYOMING FOR MKINLEY.

Cheyenne, WyO., Nov. 5.-In-
dications are strongly favorable
for the Republicans to elect the
presidential electors and con-
gressmen, with chances about
even for justice of the Supreme
court. One of the Republican
presidential electors is surely a.
head. One Republican elector is
100 ahead of the ticket. The 9th
er Republican electors are prob
ably elected by a small vote.

A Medicine Craze.

A man in Vienna has developed ma
MIA for medicine, of which he swallows
large doses daily. although suffering
from no Illness. This is n form of lu-
macy not altogether unknown.
To Hecklngton, in England, belongs
the honor of being the birthplace of the
largest consumer OF medicine the world
has ever known This was Mr.. Samuel
Jessup, rich grazler. who died in 1917.
He was In many ways eccentric, but in
none so much as In pill-tnliing, or what
n chronlcler of the period describes as
"a most inordnatc craving for ply
sick"
The following figures may be regard.
cd as Incredible, but there seems to he
no reason to doubt their accuracy. In
the twenty-one years, from 1905 to
1916, Mr.. Jessup consumed 226,934 pills.
which is Mt the rate OF 10,S06 Il year, or
20 day.
Many more OF these were taken in the
later than In the earlier years. From
1911 to 1916, n period of five years, the
rate Of consumption averaged seventy
eight day, while i'm one single year.
1914. Mr.. Jessup swallowed as many as
$500 pills.
These astounding figures came out in
the course Of an action tried at the Lin
coin Assizes, in 1917, when an apothe-
cary of Bottesford. who had supplied
the whole of the medicine. sued Mr.
Jessup for the amount Of his bill. In
spite of taking all these pills, with the
addition of 10000 bottles OF mixtures
and juleps and electuarles. Mr.. Jessup
who was unmarried. lived to the age of
65. The apothecary's bill, for the
amount of which he was sued, covered
no less than fifty-tive long and closely

STRANGE PLANTS.

Early travellers in China and Tar
tary speak of a ''plant OF flesh aud
blood, with the shape and appearances
of lamb; having feet, tail and head
distinctly formed, and its skin covered
with soft down" The lamb is said to
grow upon a stalk three feet in height,
and to turn about and bend to the
herbage that serves for its food, and
when the grass falls it dries up and
withers away.
There is some foundation for his
queer story in the existence of sim
gularly-shaped plant recently discov-
cred which has sort of woolly COW
ering; and in order to hcighten the
general effect, the natives trim the
plant and adjust the long. light, silky
hairs that cover it, in such style as
to give it the appearance of a wool
animal. 1t is natural to suppose that
this plant would wither when the grass
begins to fall; for even if it did not
subsist upon the grass rs reported, the
same drought that served to kill the
grass would naturally destroy the
plant.
1t may not be so generally known
that there now grows in Asia tree,
the bark of which is made into sheets
about yard square, and these
are used for all ordinary purposes of
paper, being very tough and durable.
Tho soft and durable Chinese rice pa
per is not the product OF any part of
the rice plant, but is tho pith of tree
which, by the aid of lathe and sharp
instrument, is cut into very thin and
delicate rolls.
The lighting materials furnished by
trees is another thing worth noting
among which may be mentioned the
japanese wax-tree, which bears punches
of fruit, growing like grapes, and
containing species of wax used in
making candles. Another tree is
found in the Pacific islands, known as
the candle-nut, which yiei Is II large

A cAMrL's LONG MEMORY.


In Central park, New York City, is
dromedary so vicious that the keep
ers dare not enter his paddock for
fear of being trampled to death. The
other day, however, an Arab dared
what the park men feared to attempt
Three Bedouins, in their native
dress, visited the menagerie, and
quickly found their way to the camcl's
paddock. One of the Arabs spoke to
the vicious dromedary in his native
tongue. The animal pricked up his
ears and grumbled in reply. In n
flash the Arab responded to his old
friends invitation, jumped the fence
and spoke again. At the camcl's
third reply he walked over to the old
man and rubbed his nose against his
arm, while the two Arabs who accom-
panied him smiled approyingly from
outside the Enclosure.
Just then the keepers became aware
of what was going on and made haste
to get the man out of danger. The
old man kissed his newly found friend
goodbye, apologized for breaking
the rules and went away. Chicago

And his outgrown clothes are sadly worn
But checrily comes his whistlins song;
Now near, now far, "a he trudges along
Three times n day in his work or playi

Couldn't to me onc-half so well
The story of his temper tell.
