Gov. CULBERsON has issued
an address to the people of
Texas telling the good deeds
of his administration and show
ing why he is entitled to an
other term in the gubernatorial
mansion. Bayney Gibbs recent
charges against the state ad-
ministration have evidently
caused our Charlie some I'M
easiness, and this letter is no
doubt intended to counteract
the effect of those charges. The
last time the governor spoke to
the people he dwelt altogether
on national issues and neglect
ed to tell about state matters.
He has found out under Gov.
Gibbs ministrations that there
is subject matter for some very
interesting writing in home af
fairs.

REFUGEES FROM CUBA
Special to THE HERALD.

Special to THE HERALD.
Tampa, Fla, Jan. 19.-The
steamer Olivette tonight
brought forty five refugees here
from Cuba and last night land
ed $50 in Key West. Three
hundred refugees are already
booked for the next trip and
additional bedsteads and cots
will be taken to accommodate
them. These arriving today say
that if one does not participate
in the revolution they must
leave Cuba or join the Spanish
forces. Those able to leave are
doing so, but the less fortunate
will join the revolution and
greatly swell the Cuban army.
Gen. Martinez Campos is ex-
pected by the next steamer to
return to Spain through the
United States and New York.
There is some talk here of Civ.
ing Gen. Campos an ovation
when he arrives here.

of North Texas republicans

New York, Jan. 20.-A spe-

says:
"If the British flying squa-
dron should come to American

me, remarked Rear Admiral
Belknap, retired, who was seen
at his home on Beacon street.
Il wrote to Admiral Bunce at
Hampton Roads three days
since that it would not surprise
me in the least if the flying

from at LIZ Gnyara.

ANNOUNCED that the squadron

the activity at ST. Lucian and
Halifax on this side of the

the entrance to the Straits Of

conclusion.
while some of our people
are arguing over the meaning
and intent of the Monroe doc
trine and apologising for every
thing England does, of what
ever character in any part o
the globe, the British govern
ment, in my opinion, is quietly
but deliberately preparing t
