FROM MAx1Mo GOMEZ.
Letter to the Cuban Delegate at New
York.


York.
New York, May l2.-Thomas Estrada
Palma, the Cuban delegate, has received
the following letter from General Max
imo Gomez, COMMUNICATIVE chief of the
Cuban army. The letter was written at
the general headquarters of the Cuban
army, at Iquara, being dated April 22.
General Gomez says:
''In order to make this letter short ]
will copy from my diary:
''April 17.-On approaching the river
Zaza, by the ford Valdiva, narrow and
dangerous, both shores are occupied by a
strong Spanish column composed of in
fantry, cavalry and artillery. l sus-
pended my march and explored the
field.
'April Isl detatch some shooters,
SO as to compel the enemy to.move, plac-
ing myself at the right and trying to
have the Spanish IN the rear, The Span
ish do not stir and the light prevents
further operations.
"April 19.-I countermarch, Always on
my plan. The enemy advanced, con-
stantly under my fire and is brought to a
difficult path where its infantry can
hardly move. Not more than three miles
would we advance during the whole day
and when night comes we are face to
face.
April 20.-I continue advancing, with
nothing to spoil my plans. The enemy
moves with the same caution as before.
Night again stops our maneuvers, the
Spanish seemingly not caring to press
very much on us, and /, for my part,
having in mind the, necessity of sparing
my men, so as to march with all their
strength.
April 21.-The enemy hardly advances
half league toward me, and abandon
ing my steps, camp at Iqura, one of the
prominent entrenched forts. In our
march we have described semi-circIe of
almost 10 leagues in diameter. which has
taken us more than three days."
81 am told that the Spanish column is
under Colonel Martin, and notwithstand-
ing the many years of campaign that
have made me familiar with the Spanish
cruelties and atrocities in Cuba, have
felt greater disgust and horror than ever
before for this columns work. They
sacrificed numberless heads of cattle, not
even sparing the young. To deprive us of
horses they kill all that come within their
reach, young and old, good and bad. To

OOFTY GOOFTY:
THE WILD MAN OF B0RNE0 HAS
JUST COME TO TOWN.
he Tells Some Interesting Things About
Himself-John L. Once Broke
a Billiard Cue Over Him
in Three Places,

There is an individual in San
Antonio, small of stature, not
very progressing in appearance,
of German extraction, who gives
his name as Leonard Borchardt,
but who is better known as "Oofty
Goofty." This is his first trip to
Texas.
"Oofty Goofty has a most re-
markable history, and is the only
and original "Wild Man of Bor-
neo."
To LIGHT reporter he gave the
foil owing sketch of his life:
"My name is Leonard Borchardt
and / was born in Berlin in 1862.

they made me take trip back to
Germany and to America again to
work out my first passage before
they would let me land. 1 landed
in New York a stranger and trav-
eled through various states, doing
what L could and earning what
1 could until l reached Detroit.
There / enlisted in the United
States cavalry and was sent
to Jefferson barracks, st. Louis, to
be drilled in the manual. After
being there six months all US re-
cruits were sent to Washington
territory to fight Indians. The
soldiers told me that II the Indiaps
caught me they would scalp me,
so deserted, sold my horse and
gun to a farmer and footed it to
Sacramento. The people there
gave me enough money to get to

"Now / will tell you how 1 got
to be called Oofty Goofty. l was

day when man tapped me on the
shoulder, said he had met m in

took and opened dime museum
with. He stripped me, tarred me
from head to foot with glue, put
on hair and laid me for five hours
on the roof to dry. Then he
put me in a cage with hand
cuffs on my wrists, fed me
on raw meet and made me go 'oof,

the roof showing how they cap
tured me on one of the South Sea
Islands, while man on the side
walk kept calling out: walk in
and see the wild man of Borneo.
He speaks twenty-one languages
and understands none. Only when
you say beer he says oof.' The
woman fed me on peanuts. The
manager made a barrel of money
out of me and skipped town, and
/ lay six weeks in Hamam baths
to get the glue and hair off. 1t
cost the city of San Francisco $500
to get me clean. 1t came near

being constantly asked and de-
mand solution.
The solution of these questions
conditions change OF require
ments In the curriculum Of the
higher grade, where the pupils are,
old enough todetermine for them
selves, or IL not should be led to de-
termine, where their interests lie.
AS student advances to this
stage Of his education, his field Of
knowledge broadens, and the diff
ferent subjects emerge from
their state of close correlation in
the primary grades, and diverge
more and more, forming so many
coordinate groups. These groups
correspond to as many tastes and
interests and should be considered
of equal weight in making up a
course OF study. Surprising they
are all provided for in a program,
is ii correct to Insist that each pu-
pill, in order to be promoted, should
study them all? 1 say no. For
that would make culture extensive
rather than intensive. AS a result
the pupils work would be but
superficial beside having steril-
izing effect upon his mind. On
the other hand, IL we offer but one
small group we would be discri-
minating against those who wish
to study other groups more parti-
cularly and very likely force them
out of school; education would
become narrow and Ill adapted
to social environment which is
becoming ever wider.
The right way, 1 believe, would
be tolpermit somewhat free selec-
ton among the subjects, thus CIV
ing play to the individual tastes
and interests under the supervis-
ion of the teachers. This Is what
is known to educators as the flexi.
BILE program.
l will here quote-by way OF
conclusion, what an eminent au-
thority has to say on this ques-
tion:
"The special aim OF secondary
education and the teachers great
est responsibilities responsibility

edged Observation-Disclosures consists
in the discovery and the special
delevopment OF each pupils domi-
nant interests in so far as these
interests represent possibilities of
development in harmony '~ith the
general aim of education, am she
constant use of the course of study
as a means of intelligent expert
mentation until the pupils self
revelation is complete. During
this stage, therefore, as the pupil
advances, the relative educational
values of the different subjects for
each pupil correspond, more and
more to the relative degrees of inter-
est they develop. 1t is manifest that
in the application Of this principle
in practice, great care must be
taken that caprice or chance in.
terests do not dissipste the pupils
powers or narrow the whole range
of his development. Flexible pro-
grams with a wide range OF cleo
tives are needed, but 1t must be
remembered that the test OF real
interest can only be revealed by
intensiveness and continuity in
the pursuit of subject during a
sufficiently long period. What
that period is, the judgment of
the teacher must decide in each
case. But the proper application
of this principle will lead to that
supremely desirable, although, at
present, apparently unattainsble,
result that each man while still
a youth will learn to know his
powers and defects, and be aided
to select deliberately that calling
for which he is best lifted by
nature. Though at present APP
unattainable, this ideal
as the result of all our education
al endeavor does not seem to me
by any means beyond our reach.
Who can doubt that we should
strive to attain it?"

Possibly one Of the reasons for th(

Possibly one Of the reasons for the
low prices Of wheat the past few years,
suggests the American Cultiyator, is
that SO many substitutes have been
found for it as human food. We still
use great deal Of wheat, but in cities
especially wheaton bread is less the
staff of life that it used to be. The
use Of oat meal has increased, and it
daily forms part of the nutritive
ration, and very good nutrition it is,
too. We use far more fruit than
formerly, and also more potatoes.
The latter are not SO good in nutri-
ton rs wheat, and for this reason
their increased use is not for our i'd
vantage in health and strength. Like
all other starchy foods, potatoes are
difficult to digest, and should only be
eaten in moderation, except by those
whose digestion is strong.
