method is in successful operation in

FUNNY IF IT WAS TRUE
DIR, Pratt Said to Have Sent a Telegram to
the Cuban Squad,

During the early spring DR.. NJ A.
Pratt, vice presidential nominee in the
Populist middle-of-the-road ticket, be-
came greatly interested in the Cuban
question and secured many volunteers
for the Cuban belligerentS. He received
upward of three hundred letters from
young men who desired TO go and uber-
ate Cuba. He also answered their let
tiers and sent their names on TO Cuban
volunteer headquarters in 81. Louis
There the officer in charge would make
arrangements for them 20 come to st.
Louis. When a company was organized
they We're sent to Key West, Fla, where
they embarked for Cuba Many Of
these young men, after leaving, cores
pended with the doctor.
Yesterday a rum0r was current to the
effect that the squad organized by DR..
Pratt We're on a steamer Just ready for
emb8rkation. Before sailing they sight
ed a steamer and waited for il to anchor.
They learned that the steamer had just
arrived from Cuba and brought the
news that the Cubans had Won three or
four decisive victories which virtually
settled the war.
When the officer in charge Of the Pratt
squad learned this he telegraphed to
DR.. Pratt as follows:
''Cubans won decisive battle. War viz
tually over. We await your orders"
The doctor, as the story goes. is said
to have sent this reply:
Come 10 Wichita and proceed to
klondyke at cnce"
The doctor was seen yesterday. but
said he had not received or sent any tele-
grams although he had been instru-
mental in getting a number OF men to
