TRYING TO BAG THE INSURGENTS
Marin's Tactics in Cuba and What He
Hopes to ACCOMPLISH

Aopcs " AcCompllSns
HAVANA, Feb. 3.-Considerable anxiety
Is felt here regarding the result of the
military operations now being conducted
against Generals Maxine Gomez and
Antonio MaceO under the personal direc-
ton OF General Marin, the acting captain.
general Of Cuba The steps taken by the
Spanish authorities in gathering in all
the horses and cattle possible have had
the effect of weakening the insurgents
considerably. The tactics of the span.
iards seem to be to keep the insurgents CON
stantly moving from place to place, night
and day, and SO gradually wear them out.
There is little doubt that the Insurgents
are feeling the effect of these tactics.
Hitherto the great drawback under
which the Spanish have labored has been
the lack of cavalry with which to pursue
the quickly moving mounted infantry O,
the insurgents. The defect is being grad.
ually remedied, and General Marin has
now with him in the province of Pinal
del Rio force of cavalry almost equal in
numbers, it is said, to the cavalrymen of
Maceo who, according to all reports, has
been for some time past doing everything
possible to effect a junction of his forces
with those of Macoo
But there is no denying that the Span
ish commanders have up to the present
succeeded in keeping the insurgent armies
apart. With this object in view a new
military line has just been drawn north
and south, from Mariel, on the northern
coast OF Pinar del Rio, through Guanejay
and Artemisa to the southern coast nea,
Mangas and upon the maintenance OF
this new line great deal is said to dc
pend.
A report has been received from Man
zanil!o that the well known insnrgon,
leader Francisco Rabi has died from
wounds received in battle.

HE KEPT THE CHECK.
Turfman Green Morris Was Too Cunnin,
For the Banks.

THURMAN Green Morris Was Too Cunning
For the Banks.
With so many bank robberies all
around us it is not surprising that there
should be some uneasiness among deposit
tors. In general, however, the New
Yorker has q clear head. He has faith in
the Clearing House association, because
he really does not quite understand tho
mystery of it, and he believes in his
bank through thick and thin because he
has seen the banks Of the city stand to-
gether in support of a weakened institu-
ton. am reminded of what happened
to Green Morris, the turfman, who lived
in Brooklyn and raced horses on all tho
tracks of the metropolitan circuit. He
had big year Of winnings at Monmouth
park, and received at the end of the sea-
son a check from the association for
$67, 900. Eighteen months later he
showed that check to me, considerably
worn.
why, Green" I said reproachfully,
this check is IS months old What do
you mean by keeping it SO long? 1t is
nearly worn out. Don't you know that
q check should be deposited at once or
cashed? Suppose the bank was to fail."
Green chuckled knowingly and wink
ed as he folded it up and put it back in
his pocketbook.
amt been racin HOSES for nothin
these goin on nigh 90 year. amt got
no faith in no banks. They's too much
failin to suit me. That 8 whut I've allus
been afraid of, an that's why I'm holdin
on to my check. I amt a-goin to have
no bank failin with my money in the
safe. Besides amt had no use for the
SCI, 900, an it's jes' as easy to keep it in
my pocket this way"
This same Green is worth now $500,
600 or $500, 900, and yet cannot write
his name.-New York Press.
