cUBANs ON THE AGGRESSIVE.
Gomez Will Soon Strike a Decisive Blow
at the Spaniards.

Gomez Will Soon Strike Decisive Blow
at the Spaniards.
New York, June 21.-A Herald dis
patch from Havana says: General
Gomez contemplates a decidedly ag-
gressive movement to begin some time
during next month. The plans which
he has been forming for the last few
months are now matured, and the Gu
bans are looking for big movement
very soon.
General Gomez is concentrating his
forces in Havana province and will
probably make a demonstration near
Havana. General Bandera, with !, 900
Orientals, is reprted to have arrived in
Melina, Havana province. 1t is known
that he left Trinidad and was march
ing through Matanzas several days ago.
General Gomez has called a council of
war, which will be held in day or so,
when he will disclose his plans to his
officers.
General Weyler intends to leave Ha-
vana for the country next week.
Within the last week the insurgents
have displayed unusual signs of ac-
tivity.
Yesterday an expedition was landed
in Havana province, this time only 10
miles from Havana, in Guanabacoa.
This is the second expedition landed in
Havana province during the present
month.
Advices from Puerto Principe state
that the rebels are active in that prov
ince. Several skirmishes between in
surgents and Spanish forces have re-
Gently occurred.
During the last week a Spanish COL
umn 800 strong, under Colonel Reyter,
was attacked while marching to Santa
Cruz. The rebels We're repulsed, but
Colonel Reyter was badly wounded and
2S Spanish soldiers were killed. The
rebel loss is not known.

No Polygamy Among Indians.

Perry, o. t., June 2l.-The Chey-
enne and Arapahoe Indians were
wrought up over the rev law which
goes into effect July /, relating to poly
gamy. After that time each of the 40
Cheyenne Indians who have more than
one wife will have to choose one of the
two, three or more wives that he has,
and the cast-of wives must leave him.
To the squaws who have become en-
lightened as to their situation. the mat
ter has become tragic. Every squaw
who wants to remain with her husband
is doing her best to please him, so that
she will be the lucky wife. There are
40 OF these polygamists, and in all they
have over 100 squaws.

The Herald correspondent in Rio Ja-
metro telegraphs that the government

There was fierce encounter, continu-
ing for several hours. The rebels are
now safely entrenched around the citv

-GO SAVE RIVERA'S LIFE,
Steps Taken in Washington to Prevent
the Execution.


New York, June 21.-A dispatch to
the World from Washington says: A
telegram from Senior Palma, of the
Cuban junta at New York, received
tonight by Secretary Quesada of the
provisional legation reads:
Prosecuting attorney has asked for
death sentence of Ruiz Rivera and Ba-
callao."
Steps were taken Immediately to pre-
vent If possible the summary execution
OF such sentence. Senator Morgan
and others were seen and their serv-
ices enlisted. Arrangements were
made to have influential senators call
early tomorrow upon Secretary Sher-
man to urge him to request interfer-
ence by the Madrid government, and
a direct appeal will be made to the
president. 1t is expected that Minister
Taylor will be instructed to obtain
from the Madrid government assur-
ances that the lives of the two men will
be spared. Unless action is taken
early in the day it is likely that Mr..
Morgan will bring the matter to the at
tention of the senate by resolution,
although there is one on record already
in behalf of Rivera.

DISCRIMINATION MUST CEASE.
American Cattle Are All Right and the
Government Will Prove 1t.

Government Will Prove 1t.
Washington, June 21.-The action
outlined in the interview with Bellamy
Storrer before his sailing for Europe,
looking to making vigorous representa-
tions to Great Britain, Germany and
Belgium and doubtless to France, for a
modification OF the discriminating
measures against American cattle, is
the result OF the indefatigable efforts
of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to
combat the prejudices of the Old World
against our farm products and to secure
to our exporters at least the same rights
as are enjoyed by those of other cOun-
tries. Ever since the new administra-
tion began, Secretary Wilson has been
pushing this matter. He has had fre-
quent interviews with the president
and Secretary Sherman on the subject.
Several new diplomatic appointees have
had conferences with the agricultural
department officials, at which questions
of this kind were discussed and the
situation explained.
The state department is now cooper
ating in the movement and in various
ways has instructed its representatives
going 10 the countries named to state
their cause to the respective govern
ments, setting out the determinations
imposed on our products, together with
data showing them to be unjustifiable.
These statements will also show that
the restrictions placed on American cat
tie preclude any material danger of
loss by disease or otherwise.
Official reports of experts in the field
will be cited to demonstrate that
American cattle products show great
er exemption from disease than those
of practically all other countries.
These representations will be accom-
panied by the significant warming that
if the unjust discriminating measures
are continued, proper action will have
to be taken by this government. Dis
eliminating nations will be given to
understand that the rights of Ameri-
can exporters must be recognized, or
else privileges accorded foreign pro.
ducers will be withdrawn.

Texas Contractor Killed by "a Young
Woman.
st. Louis, Mo-, June 21.-A special
to the Republic from Paris, Texas,
says: Ed Kilgore, contractor and
builder, met his death at the hands of
Miss Fanny Jackson and her three
brothers today. Kilgore was sitting
in the waiting room at Ladonia station
when Miss Jackson, accompanied by a
sister and three brothers, entered, the
men taking positions at the doors.
The girl drew revolver and fired at
kilgore. The bullet went wide, and
struck her brother, Brode jackson, in
the forehead. Kilgore dashed down
the railroad track behind some freight
cars. Bud jackson, another brother,
intercepted him and shot him in the
back. After Bud Jackon had emptied
his revolver, Miss Jackson walked up
and fired two more shots at Kilgore,
exclaiming:
"You coward, you have slandered me
long enough"
Examination showed that nine shots
had taken effect, any one of which
would have proved fatal.

scientist was flying a train of five kites couple of years ago, a large, silver tipped eagle came suddenly out of the higher air and swooped round and round the first kite, looking against the sunset sky like huge silver ball. As the train of kites was pulled in the eagle followed visiting one kite and then another, seeming uncertain just what to do. In d few minutes, when he seemed to have decided that they were not good to eat, and he knew nothing about them, anyway, he indignantly hew off and was lost to view.

Old Fred Bodamer, hermit of the South Side, whose picturesqueness made him familiar to every man, wo- man, and child in South Buffalo, was busted from shanty yesterday after noon that he occupied for forty years. His property was auctioned off and 1t netted him $50. The sale gave many curious persons an opportunity to view the inside of Bodaner's premises, and the vision more than satisfied their most morbid expectations. Before any one was admitted Bodamer said to his friend Mcclellan:
 Mcclellan, you have bulldog that kills rats?"
 T have" returned Mcclellan.
 "Well," continued the hermit, "I dare say there are more rats In that big shanty of mine than there are in any other place its size in the world. Now, they are all pets of mine, but I don't want them to be killed by boys Just get your dog and let him stay in there a few minutes"
 The dog was brought and was turned into the hut. The door was locked be- hind him. No sooner had the dog entered the place than there was a skirmishing inside, a banging against the walls of scured the visions of persons who peeped in at the windows. This con- tinued for fifteen minutes or perhaps longer, and at last there was quiet. The scratching of the dog on the door indicated that the beast desired to be liberated and the mournful quietude, signified that he had won.
 | The hermit was the first person to enter the shanty when the dog issued | therefrom The sight that met him must have been a sad one, considering | his love for the beasts that had lived in ! the place. On the dirt -besmeared bed l that had held Bodamer's weary frame 1 for years, lay the bodies of over thirty rats, some of them of surpassing size. They were not mangled. The floor was 1 filtered with great big dead bodies and | a heap of them lay beneath the bed. | Bodamer had all but Mcclellan and 1 Francis kept outside while he viewed the work of the bulldog.
 Here's Jack" he said paving one | big fellow. Here's Bill-Frank. Her. man, Whistler, Nimbo, Columbus-' and thus Bodamer went on as he hauled one rat after another towards him and deposited it on a pile he was making. When he had finished, he shook his head and said:
 Boys, there's four missing. They must have got away. l had an even 200 and here's but 196. knew every rat in here by name every one used to come to me when I called it. In winter all had to do was to play with them.'
 Casting his eyes about, Bodamer saw the bodies of two dead cats. He was surprised at this he said:
 And your dog killed two of my | cats'
 Bedamer mourned about his hut q short time and then went away. He said that he had kept four blooded cats and that they had been brought up tc respect rats. In truth, he said, the rats and cats used to play together and eat out of the same dishes. They never fought. The rats slept for the most part in inc mattress of the hermit's bed The chickens those which were favor. cd hv Bodamer, roasted on the foot hoard of the bed.-Buffalo Express.
