IN CONVERSE COUNTY.
How .Our Northern Neighbors Jared in
the Big Storm.

The blizzard Of 1897 will long be re-
membered by the people Of Central Wy
oming, not SO much for the severity OF
the storm, as from the great quantity Of
snow that fell, and the huge drifts that
resulted from the terrific winds blowing
the snow, says the Douglas Budget. The
thermometer was but a few degrees be-
low freezing, which probably accounts
for the comparatively small loss Of live
stock in this vicinity. The roads In ev-
cry direction are almost impossible by
reason Of gigantic drifts. some Of them
being 10 to 20 feet high in places, while
the gulches and low crossings are bank
full. Reports from the country are com
ing in very slowly. but indicate that
the cattle loss will not be worth speak

is possible that some Of the missing may
yet be found. The people Of this vicin-
ity may well congratulate themselves on
having the best winter range In the
state. The stock loss around the west of
Casper is reported to be very heavy, no
definite reports having come in as yet.
It is believed that the loss throughout
the state will be much less than at first
anticipated.

WEYLER'S PROGRESS.
Declares That Practical Peace Exists II
Havana and Matanzas


Havana and Matanzas.
Washington, Jan. 26.--"The most
important news that we have yet re-
ceived from Cuba" said NJ. Dubosc, the
first secretary of the Spanish legation
Monday, reached us by cable from
Madrid Sunday night. 1t is telegram
from the minister OF foreign affairs,
duke of Tetuan, enbodying the ma
terial points of dispatch sent to him
by the captain general at Havana. The
dukes dispatch reads as follows:
"'Gen. weyler. at the head of Il battalions.
has traversed the provinces of Havana and
Matanzas. compelling the principal rebel
chiefs to fly to Las Villas. abandoning
their horses in the River Hanabana, many
Of the fugitives perishing in Maritimas.
Weyler COL lders that in Havana and Ma
tanzas there are no longer any great or
ganized bands to disperse and that both
provinces may he considered almost entire
~ pacified. The sugar properties in the
rear Of the troops have already begun to
grind
This Information the minister, Mr. Du-
puy de Lome. authorizes me to give to the
public, said Mr. Dubosc. aside from the
fact that 1t comes from the minister of
foreign affairs, 1t has been confirmed from
several other sources and may be relied
upon as being entirely correct. The lega-
tior is very particular not to give out news
officially that cannot be fully substan-
tiated. This is the second dispatch the
legation has made public in two months.
The other was the announcement of
Maceo's death, which was at first denied
hero In New York, and afterwards when it
could he no longer denied his death was
imputed to treachery.
Il should explain" Mr.. Dubosc went on.
that Gen. Weyler started on his present
trip about eight days ago. The province
of Pinar del Rio has been under practical
subsection ever since the death of Msceo:
the only revolutionists now there are few
scattered guerilla bands. The province of
Santa Clara can hardly be said to have ever
been in revolt and as a result we now have
four provinces in which there is little If
any disturbance. The rebels in Cuba arc
anxious for peace. In my opinion the days
of the Instruction are numbered"

Congress of Mother.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The executive
committee of the National Congress of
Mothers, which will be held in Wash
ington February II, IS and 10, have ar
ranged the programme of exercises for
that event. 1t includes a reception of
the visitors by Mrs. Cleveland at the
white house on the nth and the reading
of many appropriate papers. The move
nent for the meeting of the congress
has attracted the attention and enlisted
the interest of women all over the coun-
try. Letters of inquiry are coming from
every class of mothers, many of whom
can scarcely write, but all expressing
great anxiety to receive benefit from
TIE discussions. While the congress is
in session model nursery will be
operated to interest mothers in proper
hygenic surroundings for children.
