nicado, as the treaty provides, the
American claim is proved. That is
the whole story of the Ruiz investi-
cation. Mr.. Calhoun will support Gen.
Lee absolutely.
The war for food has begun in Ha-
vana.
In Anton Recio street on May 81 four
small shop-keepers were murdered
most brutally, one being decapitated,
and the skull crushed with a hammer.
The money was left in the tills. The
crimes were committed for food only.
A captain, lieutenant and fifty-eight
soldiers have been brought here as
prisoners from camp of Florido and
condemned to be shot, because they
sold arms and medicines to the Cubans.
1t is now said that the selling of car
tridges to the insurgents by Spanish
soldiers is common in Havana province
as the soldiers lack money for cigar
cites and food.
Gen. Weyler has announced that his
demonstrating DEGREES apply to San
tiago de Cuba and Puerto Principe.
A distinguished American soldier, on
hearing this, called attention to the
fact that while the four western pro-
vinces were declared pacified, Gen.
Weyler kept five times as many troops
in them as he did in the two eastern
provinces, which were admitted to be
in the hands of the rebels.

that the report at this period of the
death or capture of Maxine Gomez,
the Cuban leader, would help to re-
tard his CALL
1t is in obedience of orders from
Madrid, Senior Barroeta declares, that
General Weyler has declared the pro-
vinces of Pinar del Rio, Havana, Ma
tanZas and Santa Clara pacified, and
will soon announce the pacification of
.Camaguri and Santiago de Cuba Senior
Barroeta declares in his pamphlet that
the revolution is now more formidable
than ever. He quotes Gen. Reolas,
commander of the Jucaro- Moron tro-
cha as saying that the only able gener7
al in Cuba is Maxine Gomez
Senior Barroeta then relates the inn
punity with which insurgents move all
over Cuba and collect taxes from all
property owners, Cubans and Span
iards alike. He cites cases where
Cuban treasury officials have collected
taxes at estates while the Spanish
troops were encamped at the place.
Senior Barroeta declares that under
the administration of Gen. Weyler
every official place in Cuba is for sale.
Even ecclesiastical positions have
their price.
Referring to the trochas, Senior Bar
roeta declares that the purpose of
construction is to enable Gen. Weyler
and his partisans to appropriate large
sums of money without having TO ac-
count for them.
The greatest source of fraud and job
berry, he says. is in the hospitals in Gu
ba, which are mainly in the hands of
Gen. Weyler's families. In this de-
partment, charges are made for pa
tients that have never existed, and for
others who have long been dead.
The suffering of the sick soldiers is
such, he says, that Father Julian Di-
az Valdeparies, priest, told him that
many, many soldiers before dying had
confessed to him of numbering officers
who had inflicted upon them the Sc
verest cruelties.
Senior Barroeta declares that while
operating in the country under Wey-
Ter he has seen children hacked to
pieces by the Spanish troops, and that
he as Spaniard felt ashamed and
protested to his fellow officers.
Senior Barroeta closes his book with
a declaration that Gen. Weyler is really
a monster, we'll described by the
American press. His crimes, he says,
are disgrace to Spain and unless the
evils are remedied, he regards as GER
tain the loss of Cuba to Spain.

SITUATION SERIOUS.
INDIAN UPRISING IN MONTANA
GROWING.
War Dances And Warhoops Can Be Seen
And Heard, Meanwhile the People
Are Preparing to Fight.

Miles City, June 3.-Sheriff Glib
has returned from the Cheyenne agen-
cy. He says the Indian situation there
is very grave indeed. He reports that
200 or more Indians are off the reserva-
ton and scattered in the hills. Their
warwhoops can be heard frequently
and their dancing continues. Old set
tiers look for trouble. A sheriff
posse, 800 strong, under the command
of Stock Inspector Smith and Captain
Brown, is now stationed in small num-
bers in and about the settlements near
the reservation to protect the remain
ing settlers and prevent the destroying
of property by the Indians.
Indian. Agent Stouch would not de-
liver Prisoner Badger up to the sheriff
when called on to do so,saying he was
afraid, but said he would escort Bad
ger off the reservation Friday with
troops and deliver him to the authori-
ties. The sheriff placed Captain
Stouch under arrest, but left him at
liberty until summoned by County At
torney Porter. The sheriff has also
a warrant for Capt. Reid who has
charge of the troops from Fort Custer
located at the reservation.
1t is not known among the Indians
in the hills that Badger is in the
guardhouse. When this becomes
known and he is removed from the res
ervation it is feared that the Indians
will make a break to rescue him if
possible. If this is done there will be
a great loss of life on both sides. The
sheriff brought in orders for large
amount of ammunition and rifles, and
another posse of 100, or more will be
formed to accompany him back to the
reservation which he expects to reach
Thursday night or early Friday morn
ing.
County Attorney T. j. Porter receiv-
ed orders from Governor Smith that

BOOMING COLUMBUS.

Columbus, Texas, June Especial
Messrs Lowell G. Shaw will in a short
time put in a cylinder cotton press at
their gin, they will have it ready in
time for the fall crop. They have an
agreement whereby no one else in
Colorado county can use a press of this
kind. 1t is estimated that it will be
the means of one thousand bales of
cotton being ginned this fall at this
place, as it will effect a saving of
ninety cents per bale to the farmer.
The cotton crop in this section is
generally in a fine condition, while
one more good rain will assure us fine
crop of corn.

General Review OF Trade for the week
Past.
Minneapolis, Mimi, June 3.-The
flour output this week we estimate az
255, 900 barrels. The flour maket last
week was largely a repetition Of thai
on several preceding weeks. Sales #
Minneapolis mills appropriated 2l5.-
600 barrels against 100000 week before.
The steady decline in wheat kept buy
ers out of the mal1et, except to take a
limited quantity of -four for current
requirements. The mills have not had
so few untitled orders on their books
in many years as Is the case now.
Stocks abroad are conceded to be very
low and many millers hope for bet
ter export trade in the near future.
Quotations on patent at Minneapolis
are ten to fifteen cents lower than
they were a week ago. Export ship
ments were unusually heavy last week
being 94,940 barrels and $500 barrels
the week before and $500 in 1896.
Superior output this
week Is estimated at 10000 barrels.
There was some buying by the domes-
tic trade last week, for quick ship
ment. but the business was generally
satisfactory. Stocks of -four Saturday
were 247,00O against $4,000 a year ago.
Export shipments last week were 49,
700 barrels against 5000 previous week
80 200 in 1896. Southwest export trade

The Dingley tariff act re-enacted, In
its twenty-second section, the provis-
ions in previous acts imposing a dis
eliminating duty of ten per cent. on
goods imported in foreign vessels. But
the wording was so changed that the
exemption from this duty applied to
vessels entitled to equal privileges
with our own by treaty or conven-
ton" instead of by treaty or any act
of congress-" A clause was also added
which laid the discriminating duty on
goods produced in a country not con-
tiguous to the United States, but COM
ing in to the United States from a
contiguous country. These changes
were capable of a construction which
would levy the additional duty on for
eign goods brought in British or
French vessels, hitherto exempt under
act of congress; and also on goods i'm
ported by way of Canada or Mexico.
The encouragement holds that con-
gress did not intend to effect either of
these results. He finds no evidence
that congress meant to repeal the law
under which British vessels have been
exempt, and argues that the passage
of bill amendatory of that law, on the
same day the tariff bill was enacted,
shows an intention to keep it alive.
The clause relating to contiguous coun-
tries he regards as an amendment to
guard against evasion; not as a new
discrimination.

What is most curious is the interest, If
we have in any way become known to
the public at large, complete strangers
take in our physical and mental condi-
ton. II prescriptions could cure us we

evisceration for purposes of commerce.
The extreme rarity of whales upon the

practical application. An aged poet,

Race animosities between the Ger

violent last June as to compel the en-

reopening of the Reichsrath the other

bulent proceedings in the lower house,
which made the orderly transaction OF
business impossible. Doctor Wolff,
leader OF the German Nationalist par

This is an age in which cheap sub
stitutes abound. Every one who goes
a-shopping is constantly pressed to
take something cheaper that is "just as
good" And the strangeness of it is
that the cheap article has all the ex-
ternal appearances of the costlier one.
How soon the cheap suit of clothes
gets out of shape, loses its color and
becomes threadbare. How soon the
cheap carriage begins to rattle and be-
comes loose at every bolt. Lucky is the
owner if 1t does not spill him out on
the ground. How soon the cheap nail
will loosen or break in the shoe. You
the same old answer-"The sheared
nail is Just as good as the hammered
one" From the nature Of things this
cannot be. The suit of clothes, made
of the best material and by good work
manship, will outlast three or four
end. The carriage, where every part
is selected and the ironwork first class,
will last almost lifetime. The horse
shod with good nail will never be
famed with split nail, or throw his
shoes in time of greatest need. Moth
ing is more irritating than to have a
horse throw his shoes just as one has
calculated on pleasant afternoon
drive. But the horseshoer told you the
cheap nail was just as good. Cheap
things are not just as good except to
the seller, who always makes more
money on such articles than on good,
straight, honest goods.
