THE OLD. OLD STORY.


Ono of the curious freaks of human
nature Is the Unsuitable desire to be motto.
ed. II man discovers or lnvents some
thing which Is a real blessing to mankind
10 brings him fame or reputation honestly
earned, but Immediately Il lot Of little
heads come up and shout "Mu too, ;
'Notice mo too Here, look this way
look at me too"
Nearly every other person one meets
nowadays drinks the new hot food drink
Postum, the health coffee, and it is SO well
received that no doubt some, "Mc too
will begin to shout for someone to notice
their cereal drink
The physician who invented the pro.
ccsscs for preparing grain to make Postum
Cereal worked at it about year. Ho
smiles quietly when told that people may
initiate his discovery. 1T Is easy to brown
some rye or malt and call it coffee cereal,
but the public cannot be deceived There
Is but one Postum Cereal food drink, and
it cannot be Initiated"
The genuine packages have large red
soa!s containing tho words 1T makes red
blood, and manufactured by the Postum
Cereal Co lin, Battle Greek, Mich, and
the contents are scientifically prepared to
produce pungeut, piquant, and highly
nourishing drink, which certainly does
make red blood, and round fat, happy
bodies of the grown folks and children.

WEYLER AGAIN IN THE FIELD.


HAVANA, Nov. 49, Captain General
Weylet arrived safely at Marlel yesterday,
where he was received by the authorities
and large crowds Of people. He immedi.
ately started for Artemisa, and on arriv
ing there visited the hospitals found them
in an improved sanitary state, and tho
health of tho troops generally better
From Artemisa the Captain General went
on to Vuelta Abajo, by train, leaving the
cavalry ana Brigadier General Calixto
Ruiz to Join him later General Weyler
Is accompanied by his chief Of staff Cen
oral Escribano, and his aide-de.camps
c, S, Pendleton, correspondent Of q
Now York paper, was arrested here Thurs
day night while upon the point of EN-
barking for the steamer Aranas. 1t Is be-
lisyed that his detention is duo to the fact
that there was something wrong with his
passports or other papers.
The death of Perico Delgado the insur-
gent leader, in the Brujo mountains, has
again been confirmed. He Is said to have
killed and wounded many soldiers of Wey
ler's columns before dying.
The friends of the insurgents Insist that
one or two prisoners of war are shot every
day outside of Cabanas fortress.

Der Of Polanders were drinking in his
place when a party Of young Americans
entered. After much drinking they be-
gan to taunt the foreigners. This led to
quarrel, in which tho Americans assumed

been struck than the foreigners drew their
guns and bullets began to fly, and tho
Americans beat retreat
The shooting was so general and pro-
mscuous that it is impossible to tell who
fired the fatal shots. Lambert was carried

was over. The two wounded Polanders

with Deliberate Falsehood.
HIS STATEMENTS CRITICIZED

Out tile FaIsity of the Captain Generali
Allegations - General WcyIer Again
Leaves Havana for the Front.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-Thc interview
given by General Weyler to the CORE
spondent Of The Associated Press inspires
most comment at the headquarters of the
Cuban junta in this city. President L.
Estrada Palma declared that the state
ments of Weyler were utterly devoid Of
truth and that he had intentionally mis-.
represented the condition of affairs In
Cuba
II see," said President Palma. "that
Weyler snys he Is satisfied with the result
of his military operations In the province
of Plnar del Rio, and that he went over
all the northern hills and occupied the
insurgent positions without any serious
resistance.
"That is absolutely false. Weyler had
an army Of $4,000 men while the Cubans
numbered less than 5000 OF course 1t
would have been foolish for the latter to
give battle to the Spaniards, but they did
fight them from their positions in the hills
and in nearly every encounter the Spanish
forces were routed. Some of tho positions
held by the Cubans were abandoned and
- the Spaniards now occupy them. They
are positions however, of no material i'm.
portance to the Cubans. The latter have
any number Of secure places in the hills,
and it is impossible for Woyler to dislodSe
them. As matter of fact Weyler re-
turned to Havana badly worsted man.
