A CONDITIONAL NUMBER.
A Kentucky M0untaineer Gives
Glimpse Into His Home Life.

Glimpse Into His Home Life.
was picking my way along rough
piece of road in the Kentucky mountains
says Star writer. most of which was in
creek bed in summer and wasn't much of
any place when the waters were up, when
an old mountaineer,' clad in homemade
jeans and riding mule, came down a path
that led out Of a long hollow between the
bills and joined me. Naturally was glad to
see him, for the somber loneliness of these
mountains is almost intolerably depressing
at times, and any kind of company is well
come. AS we went On up the creek road
the old fellow following about ten feet be-
mind ME, owing to the narrowness OF the
way, we talked about everything in sight,
and at last got down to personalities.

Evidently the old mans argument was
leading him into the betrayal of domestic
secrets.

In southern Florida there are frequent
evidences of seis mic influences. This is also
the locality where ague develops its strong

He stopped for the night at a small house
built at the edge OF a swamp. He was
awakened by the house shaking. and real
lied that there was slight earthquake
shock. heavy enough, however, to break
the glass in the windows and throw the
dishes out Of the tin cupboard down stairs
Then the voice of the head of the family

man crossed her vision in taking his seat
He was tall and lank, and wore immacu-
late broadcloth. which set loosely about his
form. He had the large homely, but kind
ly mouth that Lincoln possessed. and wore
the same fringe of whiskers on his chin
that Mr.. Lincoln used to wear. He had the
same gentle eyes, and iron gray hair tossed
back In rather long locks from his strongly
marked face. AS he sat listening to the de-
bate, his face in profile was SO startlingly
like that OF the martyred President, that
1t was positfy ely uncanny. And when he
seemed to forget his surroundings, there
came into his face that worn, weary ex-
preston which sat so often on Lincoln's 3
face during his last months, and the lady
beside the reporter, who was fascinated by
the resemblance, got up to leave the gal
lery.
II can't stand it, she said His face
will haunt me to my dying day" Hundreds
of people turned their eyes upon him, and
the buzz of surprised comment was almost

WEYLER TAKES COMMAND.

Cuba's Now Captain General Arrives ~
Havana.
HAVANA, Feb. l2.-The steamer AL.
fonso XIII arrived here at 8 a. m, hav.
ing on board General Weyler, the new
captain general Of Cuba. The entire
city was brilliantly decorated in honor
of the occasion and the bay was a
splendid sight, all the warships and
merchant craft present being decorated
with bunting. Troops and volunteers
turned out to q man, together with the
fire department and police, and for q
long time past no such brilliant display
has been witnessed in Havana. This
is mainly due to the fact that in many
quarters General Weyler is looked upon
as likely to be the man who will restore
order in Cuba, which would NEAR a re.
sumption of commerce and business,
developments which are anxious.y
looked forward to by the commercial
community.
Great Enthusiasm Shown.
General Weyler received the city
council on board the Alfonso XIII. He
| was presented with an address of well
come and assurance Of loyalty. At IL
o'clock the general came ashore and
was received by General Marin and
staff. The streets were packed with
people who displayed the greatest en-
thusiasm.
The balconies in all the streets about
the water front and in the vicinity Of
the palace were filed with ladies in
holiday attire, who showered flowers
upon the commander as he passed. He
seemed to be much pleased with his re-
ception, and, upon arriving at the pal
ace, formally took over the duties Of
the captain generalship, taking the
oath of fealty owe a crucifx upon a
Bible. The German warships which
are here saluted the arrival Of General
Weyler, as did the Spanish warships in
port and the forts ashore.
His Plan Of Campaign.
The exact plan of campaign Of Gen.
eral Weyler, naturally, is not known;
but it is believed that it will be a very
different one from that Of Campos. He
is likely to call in all the small detach-
ments of troops which have from the
first had such a weakening effect upon
the Spanish operations, and he will try
to drive the insurgents into q position
from which they cannot escape without
q pitched battle. This docs not mean
that the new captain general will leave
all points unprotected in order to con.
centrate his troops here. On the con
trsry, he will endeavor to protect prop
erty to the utmost; but, in 80 doing, he
anticipates being able to call in severa
thousand men who are doing small gar
rison duty in places where. apparently
there is no necessity for their presence
now.
VIII He Hard On sympathixera.
General Weyler has issued a procla
nation addressed to the military Off
GERS in which he says:
Il am determined to have the Law
fall with all its weight upon all thos
in any way helping the enemy, o.
praising them. or in any way detract
ing from the prestige Of Spain, Of it
army or of its volunteers. Knowing
this, and knowing my character, I ma,
perhaps need to say no moro to maxi
you understand what is the conduc
that l am to follow"
He also issued q proclamation id
dressed to the people Of Cuba asking
their @ generation.
