THEY DINE ON HORSE.
Members of the Progressive Club
Are Confirmed HippophaGists

New York, Dec "a. The members of tie
Progressive Club, of Williamsburg, reject
beef, turn up their noses at nation, and
positively refuse to eat PORK. They are epi-
cures. bu. they lind in horse tenderlon the
morsel that most tickles their jaded palates.
So hors" tenderloin Is the piece de re-
sistauce, the dish OF honor at :he weekly
dinners of tbs dnb, which tries to live
up to its name. The Progressives have
become confirmed hiprnphagists.
The clubhouse is at Cooper street and
Evergreen avenue, and many leading cit
izens and trerchermen of the Twenty
eighth ward. of Brooklyn belong to the
dub. They have variouSlv experimental

was repeated with pepsin SaIce, but
again failed. The monkey suggested can

that the Newtown establishment is a sau-

SEND MENU WITH INVITATION
New Fad That Is Said to Have Many
Points of Excellence

New Fad That - Said to Have Many
Points of Excellence.
The menu had its origin in mediaeval
times. Duke Henry of Bruins wick, gour-
mand Of the period, first devised the slip Of
paper conta ming the list of dishes to he
served at banquet, so that If delicacy
ofwhich he was fond was indicated for the
last stage of the repast he Could reserve his
appetite for it. Since that time the menu
has assumed many forms. The latest appli-
cation OF il is that invented by foreign
woman of authoritative social enIinence.
When she fixes upon the date Of a dinner
party she iItloses in the envelope with thn
card of invitation menu of the meal that
is to be served. This warning o what is to
come gives ample opportunity to her friends
to decide whether the gastronomic attrac-
tions or the lack of them merits prompt ac-
ceptance or equally prompt declinat ton.
This appears to he a very sensible innova-
ton. ItisaniDcentivet to the host or hostess
to put forth his or her best efforts in the
presentation of enticing dishes, and it en-
ables those who are asked to prepare them
selves for the full enjoyment of them. II
this fad be generally adopted, it may re-
vive the ia shion of decorative menus, which
is now in eclipse, or may simplify them so
that they shall harmonic with the plainly
engrave card of invitation.

FACTS REGARDING CUBA.

Don Santiago Barroeta, until re-
Gently deputy in the Provincial AS
sembly of Santa Clara, and during the
last fourteen years a judge in the Up
per Court of Justice of the Island of
Cuba, has just made the most import
ant statement regarding the situation
of the struggle for liberty in the
Island of Cuba that has been given
out since the present war commenced.
Don Santiago is an ultra Spaniard,
who has been forced to leave the
Island on account of his criticism of
Weyler's mode of warfare, but who
even now wishes to have the Spaniards
gain control of the Island. Until a
few weeks ago he was the publisher
of Ell Nacional, a Spanish newspaper
published intCienfuegos, and so close
ly was he attached to the cause of
Spain in the Island that he enlisted in
the Spanish army under Weyler and
won the rank of Captain in fighting
against the Cubans, and as he opposed
Weyler's plan of campaign, or rather
his brutalities and public lying re-
garding victories through his paper,
Weyler Id him of being an
abati Id the frauds committed by
* Governor of Santa Clara and
ordered him to be arrested as a COM
mon criminal.
,Inasmuch as Don Santiago had wit
messed many barbarities of Weyler
and has in his possession important
documents which compromise the
Spanish administration in Cuba and
the Captain General, he knew what
his fate would be if caught by Wey-
Ter, and as soon as friend advised
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1897-06-10

him that Weyler had ordered his ar
rest he concealed himself and few
days after he escaped to this country
on a sailing vessel bound for Boston.
From Boston he went to New York
where he has just completed a pamph-
let in Spanish in which he depicts the
Cuban situation.
He states that the reported pacifca
ton of Las Villas to be lie of Wey-
Ter published with the sole aim of de-
ceiving the central government and
preventing the recall of Weyler, the
butcher. He has document to show
that Weyler was informed that if he
did not report the capture of Gomez,
the killing of 1900 Cubans in battle
or the pacifcation of Las Villas that
Weyler would have to be recalled and
as result of this Weyler concluded
that the pacifcation report was the
easiest and would be believed for a
longer time. Senior Barroeta adds
that Weyler's report is so false that
he dare not pass from one to another
in the. pacified province except with
column of 10000 men. He states
that all of Weyler's other reports are
equally false and points out how pa
triots harassed and killed Gen. Ruiz's
Spanish troops, and as result of
conference between Weyler and Ruiz
Madrid was notified of a great victory
over Gomez. It is admitted among
Spanish soldiers on the Island that
there is only one General there, and
that General is-Gomez.
When Weyler arrives in a town he
reports that insurgents flew before
him-so it happened at San Juan de
las Yeras, at Camajuani en- route to
Remedies, at LaResbalosa, at Los
Azules and Vegas Nueyas. But at all
these places the Cubans harrassed his
troops in guerrilla warfare, making
havoc and at LaResbalosa, the Span
ish losses we're exceptionally heavy.
Yet Weyler reported victory.

McCLEARY FOR CHAIRMAN.

Saturday, 8 Minneapolis Journal con-
tanned the fact that Speaker Reed was
seriously considering the promotion of
Congressman McCleary of this dis
trict from member of the committee
on banks and banking to the chair
manship of that very important COM
mite. That Mr.. McCleary is qualified
to fill that position there can be no
doubt. He is one of the most
thorough students of the currency
question in the United States to-day,
and Speaker Reed knows it as we'll as
any one. There are certainly no mem
bers of the lower house better qualified
to fill that position and very few as
we'll. Speaker Reed will not only
honor this district by the promotion
of Mr.. McCleary, but he will honor his
welding of the gavel and the Republi-
can party still more by giving Mr..
McCleary what he is entitled to.
It was while acting as a typewriter
for Mr.. McCleary that the writer first
got the faintest idea of Mr.. McCleary's
untiring efforts to study out the cur
rency question. The writer believes
that no confidence will be violated
when he states to the readers of The
GAZETTE that this correspondence was
mighty and with the leaders of
finance in the United States and foreign
lands. Voluminous documents, con-
tanning facts and figures, were received
and exchanged for similar facts and
figures by Mr.. McCleary, and all of
them involving many days and nights
of deep study. Letters asking in
formation on the currency question by
bright lights about to open the cam
paign were received and answered in
the most modest manner by our rep
resentative, and we wondered at the
patience of the man in paying so much
attention to correspondence from
which he could receive no renumera-
ton, and which he was giving up his
valuable time to answer and form the
foundation of many campaign
speech.
The GAZETTE hopes that Mr.. Nc
Cleary will secure the place for which
he is mentioned.

than is Las Villas, according to Don
Santiago. The insurgents swarm all
over the westernmost province, prac-
tically control it, according to the
Don's reports received from an officer
of the province. If a General in Pinar
is whipped by the insurgents he is
disgraced. If he wins it is of no i'm
portance because Weyler has long
since proclaimed that province paci-
fed.
In the Orient the whole territory is
controlled by Gen. Calixto Garcia,
Gomez chief of staff in the east. The
insurgents are as we'll supplied with
arms and ammunitions as are the
Spanish soldiers and more intelligent
ly led. Spanish soldiers desert to the
Cuban ranks continually. The Spani-
ards cannot march safely in smaller
force than 5000 men. The Cauto riv-
er is controlled by Garcia.
Speaking Of the corruption of the
administration the Don states that it
is amazing; that the wires along the
Jucaro- Moron trocha have cost the
government their weight in gold.

lis memorial day and our hearts are
sad;
'Tis the saddest day of the year,
When 'tWere no reproach to manhood
To shed the silent tear;
When the tender heart of woman
To its deepest depths is stirred,
AS she thinks of fallen heroes,
Saddest story ever heard.
And If, perchance, few there be.
Who had neither kith nor kin,
That battled for our country,
Freedoms dear cause to win;
Stand not apart indifferent,
Nor fail at heart to say
That we too prize the blessings won,
And mourn with us this day.
For the dearest friends we ever knew.
In the sunny south land sleep;
Our noble boys that wore the blue,
For them, alas we weep;
And some were brought to northern
lands,
Some to homes east or west,
And silent sleep where loving hands
Strew sweet flowers DER their breast.
A few there be still left to tell
Heart-thrilling war-times story,
OF how their hero-comrades fell
Fer faithful to old glory;
OF forced march, of prison hell,
OF hunger pain and fever;
Or suffering tongue could nevar tell,
Yet faithful then as ever.
They're going fast, the muffied drum
Is sounding very often;
For those by years and wounds over
come
Shall we not help to soften
The lives still left as legacy
To grateful country saved?
In freedoms home, America,
Their names are e'er engraved.
All honor then to every one,
Who fought in country's danger;

Well treat them not as strangers;
But give them heart and give them
hand,
And words Of hope and cheer;
God bless the boys" who saved our
