Written from the Notes of a Cuban
Insurgent.1
When the news of the present up
rising in Cuba reached Antonio Maceo,
in Punishment in Costa RIGA, he quick
" gathered about him several veterans
of the Ten Years war, among whom
was his brother Jose, and hurried to
the relief of his native island, from
which he had reluctantly taken leave
seventeen years before That was in
March, 1895 In one short year he had
traversed the island from one end to
the other, breaking down military tro-
chas and defying the Spaniards in their
very strongholds. These twelve months
have shown lin to be more than a que
rilla chieftain, a great general-one of
the greatest of modern times The &C
count given here of his wonderful ca
reer is based upon information from
one who served with Maceo in the Ten
Years war and who has been closely
acquainted with his movements during
the present struggle.
A FAMILY OF PATRIOTS.
Antonio Maceo is a mulatto. He was
born at Sandiago de Cuba. July IA, lS4S.
His father was Marcus Maceo and his
mothers maiden name was Mariana
Grajales. The elder Maceo owned a
plantation at Barajagua and kept pack
mules for hire. From this circum-
stance the statement has been made
that Antonio Maceo was a driver of
mules before the war. At the begin

So writes a happy man fresh from the
Slough of Despond.
Well, the discovery has been proclaimed,
but men are slow to believe.
The way is open to inquire, to investigate.
Why will not every man do 50?
There is simple way to cure at home all
those baneful effects of the sins of youth and
the excuses of later years which blast the
lives of multi tudes of men.
There is a way TO regain strength lost by
disease, overwork and worry.
A way to secure and retain the abilities
sacrificed to dissipation-to be glad again
after suffering an atonement."
A way to repair drains on the system that
sap the vitality.
way to replace nervousness, dread and
dependency with courage and self-respect.
a way to give full strength, development
and tone to every portion of the body.
A way to remove every obstacle to happy
and fruitful married life. q

would have been completely annihilat-

rival Of Lieutenant Tirso.
About this time Maceo was made a
major general, and with a courage that
almost amounted to madness he en-
gagged the Spaniards in a series of
briflie Mt and bloody fights at San Fill
ipe, Boragus, Hato del Medic, Sabana
Miranda and Cayo Rey. AT the last Of
these Maceo nearly lost his life. While
endeavoring to engage the commander
of the Spanish troops in a sword COM
bat he received a bullet in his chest
that passed clear though his body. He
reeled in his saddle and was caught by
Lieutenant Colonel Pacheco. Colonel
Mayias Rodriguez saw that his COM
mander must soon be shot to pieces.
With sweeping cross fire the Span
lardS were checked, and Colonel Pach-
eco escaped under cover to place of
safety. In the mountains, fifteen miles
from the battlefield, Maceo fingered
between life and death for several
weeks, with but meager medical at
tendance. The wound has left him so
that his voice has not one-haf its orig

TO burn the plantations and thus Grip

had signed a treaty of peace with
Spain. The leader who had made such
sacrifices could not submit to anything
but freedom for Cuba Calling coun-
Gil of war AT Baragua, he issued the
famous document known as the Pro
tesla de Baragua." He proposed to
keep on fighting and repudiate the &C

Unwilling TO surrender, Maceo still
made war on the Spanish for several
months. Reduced to absolute want, the
great spirit of the soldier capitulated
in a naughty letter to Martinez Cam
pos, in which he agreed to lay down
his arms OF the condition that Span
ish man-of-war be placed at his dis

Maceo went TO Jamaica and after
wards came to New York. Some plant
ers in Costa RIGA offered him tract
Of land on which TO colonize his brave
followers in the war. He accepted, and
lived in peace. In 1889 he made Sc
cret visit to Cuba with the intention Of
stirring up another revolution. The
Spanish became aware of his mission
and frustrated the plan. During the
years of his Punishment he studied con-
tinually, and has become a good
scholar.

are the intricate problems in this line
that he has worked outh for himself
Years ago explorers likened him to a
monkey, declaring that his chief de-
light was III destroying watches and
clocks for the sole pleasure OF putting
them together again. Little did they
understand the awakening of mind
and the steady development of the
man that was Indicated by these little
diversions. A few years ago. when the
French government sent Menelek a
mitrailleuse as a present, it was pack
ed in cases for convenience in carriage
over the mountains, and the cases
reached the emperors palace at Con
dar several days before the Freedmen
who had been sent with them. Great
was the surprise of these latter on
entering the court yard of the palace
to find that the weapon had been I'M
packed, properly put together and
mounted.
The fact was that Menelek had made
a careful study of the. mechanism of
fire arms and with the aid of pictures
of a mftrailleuse and of its component
parts, had been able to direct it's set
ting up. This is but one indication of
the many advances that have been
made by the Abyssinians in the art of
modern warfare. Thanks to their ru-
ler's scientific turn the people of This
rugged country are now able to man
ufaoture their own gunpowder and if
not to make, ait least to repair, the fire
arms that they use.

IN CUBA ONCE MORE.

AS soon as he heard OF the present
uprising in Cuba which took place Feb
ruary q, 1895, he started back to the
island. taking with him such veterans
as his brother Jose, Crombet, Cebreco
and sixteen others. They landed March
So Hardly had Maceo touched his foot
on Cuban soil before he was attacked
by a force of Spaniards. He had nine
teen men with him, and, taking refuge
in an old log house, fought for days.
Separating from the rest of his COM
panions, he wandered for more than
two weeks alone but finally joined the
insurgent band led by Rabi. Making
his way toward General Gomez, he re-
cruited an army under the same tree
where he had laid down his arms sew
enlteen years before. All his old time
vigor had returned to him. The years
Of exile had only served to make him
more cautious and calculating. He felt
that he was a better soldier than when
he had accepted Punishment. Starting
out with a force of 5000 men, he swept
everything before him. At Yateras,
Filipinas, Jarahueca and Cristo the
Spanish were put to rout. Fate had in
store a grim surprise for General Ma
Geo. His scouts informed him that
Martinez Campos was approaching
from the south The Cuban leader
could scarcely wait for the battle. BUT
years had laugh him caution, and he
drew up his small army in line of bat
tie. Campos came on and the battle
began. Such a slaughter had never
been seen on Cuban soil. Mad with a
desire for revenge the veterans of the
Ten Years war rushed upon the sol
diers before them. More than a thou
and Spaniards were slain, among them
being General Santocildes. Campos was
forced to leave the battlefield in a
hammock surrounded by wounded SOL
diers, and made his way 'to Bayamo on
foot. Maceo then crossed the Canto
river and routed General Suarez Valdes
at Chaparra, Moscones and Holguin
Turning to the west, he defeated Gen
eral Echague at Puerto Padre and
forced his way through the military
trocha into Puerto Principe He
marched across Camaguez, broke the
thocha of Jucaro and entered Villas
province. After defeating the Span
iards at Maltiempo, Coliseo, Paso Real
and Calimete, he overran the Villas
and Matanzas provinces, breaking
anew the Spaniard military lines and
invading Havana. Reaching Pinar del
Rio in the extreme west, he had ac-
complished a march of 800 miles,
military feat that must forever place
him among the most distinguished
leaders of history.

KEEP INTACT THE NATIONS FAITH.

Mine eyes have seen the rising of the great
Mckinley host.
From Atantcs shore it's swelling to the
far Pacific coast.
On its myriad tossing banners is inscribed
the patriot boast
"We1l protect our land from demagogue
and spoiler!'
No "crown of thorns'' is needed to advance
this sacred cause,
No ''crOss of gold is raised aloft to win
the mob's applause.
These serried ranks depend on truth and
natures changeless laws
To redeem the land and elevate the tOiler.
Projections beacon fires illume the country
far and wide
The patriots torch is lighted, and no silver
cloud can hide
The swelling of the human sea- the rolling
of the tide
That, bears projections champion on to
glory.
The whispering pines of Maine have sent
the message to the West
And California, listening has bowed her
golden crest
To him who claims for wOrkingmen the
first reward and best
And deceives them not with rainbow
pledge and story.
All hail the soldier statesman, base repu-
diation's foe.
All hail his valiant followers, who forth to
battle go,
To fight 'gainst fraud and folly, for sur
cease of human woe
And 10 keep intact the nations faith and
glory! Harold Leach.

WHERE BRYAN HAS SPOKEN.

Mr.. Bryan is lamentably lacking in
the logic which is necessary to impress
upon a thinking mind the truth of the
free coinage theory.-Erie pa Herald.
If Mr.. Bryan is entitled to considera-
ton for anything it is for oratory. He
does not offer argument and never backs
an assertion with a fact. When even
his oratorical efforts are simply stage
properties, he shrinks very far from the
proportions of great man.-Buffalo
News.
Backward turn backward, o Bill, in thy
And make us a bow ere you vanish from
Drop US some nuggets of free coinage lore,
For fear that you'll never come back any
more!
Again let us hear that mellifuous voice,
And in Understanding SMILES once more re-
Let Secondhand metaphors loose on the
wind,
With shattered quotation marks floating be-
hind!
Refresh our dull brains with the spray of
Ere the home of the ponderous gold bug you
quit;
Uncoii us strand of the silvery sheen
From the swift buzzing loom Of thy think
tank machine.
Westward, then westward, o Bill, take thy
flight,
And as meath the horizon you vanish from
sight,
What though we're abandoned to darkness
and gloom,

is bound to overtake him.-Buffalo

population of 100000 which is de-

pendent upon them.
Now with this number out of work in
these lines think how many must be out
of work or on reduced pay in the pro-
fesSiOns, 947, 123 in number. and in do
nestle and personal service-barbers,
walters. house servants and so On-in
all 4,36O.5O6 persons. In all, these are
here 5.3OS. 300. How much their en-
ployment is reduced one cannot say; but
there is here a large reduction in con-
sumption. We are not guessing in this
article. so we make no estimate; but
the number is large. There is at least
another 100000 of population in do
nestle and personal service and the pro-
feSSiOnS on short commons.
Taking these facts. can anyone doubt
that in all between 100000 and 9.0OO,-
600 people in the country have had their
capacity to buy reduced by the diSOrgan-
izatiOn of business due to tariff agitation
and to an unstable currency? Since
they could not buy prices have fallen,
and with falling prices come hard times
and no market for the farmer. Is there
proof of no market? Rather. In 1892
the United States consumed 3S6.0O0.OOO
bushels of wheat and 100000, 600 BUSH
els of corn. In 1895 the consumption
of wheat had fallen to 315,OOO.00O bush
els and of corn to ,2OO,OOO,OOO bushels.
There were at least 100000 more peO-
PIE Ill tlle CbulilIs. Duh IlltN untu to,ooo,-
600 bushels less of wheat and 100000
600 less of corn. This was true of all
agricultural products.
Is it not as plain as a furrOw in a
newly-plowed pasture that the farmer is
suffering from idle mills and not from
idle minis? He does not want more
free silver. He wants less free trade.
Revise the tariff, restore protection and
create confidence by maintaining the ex-
listing gold standard, and this 100000
to 100000 of population who are on
short supplies will be again buying the
farmers products and advancing his
prices.-Philadelph Press.

A PRACTICAL VIEW.
What the Country Needs is Not More
Money but More Business.

1t is estimated that 60 per cent. of
the full force of factory hands are out
of employment at this time. The panic
brought on by ''tariff reform" is prl
marily responsible for this unprecedent-
ed contraction of the labor market. The
free-conage agitation has lately had the
effect to make bad situation deplorably
worse Some of the men thrown out of
work seem to think that relief will come
only by opening the mints for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. Bryan
makes this assertion.
If the menace of free coinage intensi-
fies the paralysis in the industrial world,
what must it's realization be!
Manufacturers as well as workingmen
want good times. Their prosperity is
essential to the welfare of labor. Their
Judgment as to the conditions necessary
to return of prosperity is likely to be
sound They now feel the effect of q
stoppage of orders. They are in 4
position to know the cause and the RENE
dy. If producers and business men
in general believed that the silver stand
ard would promote their interests, they
would favor it. If they believe that
it would not promote their interests but
prove disastrous, certainly their cOnvic-
ton should have much weight with all
vorkingmen whose well-being is abso-
lutely dependent upon the activity Of in
dustries and business.
What the country needs is not moro
money but more business to bring out
the money. We have as great volume
of money today. outside of the treas
ury, as we had in 1892. But it has
been driven into hiding by the blunder
of 1892 and subsequent plumbers worse
than crimes and is now locked fast by
an insane effort to lower the standard
of value. pull down the public credit and
nlunge the country into a mOraSs of re-
pudiation and dishonor.
To get the money out once more. con-
ditions must be restored which will in
vite investment, stimulate industries,
open all the factories, infuse the mani
fold branches of manufacture, trade
and commerce with confidence and
energy and enterprise. From the pres
ent situation the demoralizing result of
the success of Organism can be fore
seen. The result to the business COM
munity, and therefore to the working
people, of the election of Mckinley is
no less apparent. 1t will be plainly
manifest the next day after the story
of the election is told, in general res
toration of confidence and revival of
hnsincss
Every man out of employment who
has been impressed by the free coinage
cry should carefully consider the prob
ability that in the event of the adop-
ton of the silver standard 5O-cent dol
lars will be harder to get than full dol
lars are now, whereas if sound cOndi-
tions are re-established full dollars will
be as easy to get as they were in 1889
