ACCEPTS THE OFFER.
Willing to Grant Complete
Home Rule to Cuba.

New York, Jan. Ia.-The
Journal prints the following:
Madrid, January I2.-Prime
Minister Canovas del Castillo
has definitely accepted Secre-
tary of State Olney's proffer of
American Intervention, as well
as the terms which President
Cleveland and Mr.. Olney pre-
scribe as the price for their In
reference and the use of their
prerogatives in attempting to
bring about a state OF peace in
the island of Cuba. The con-
ditions, | am able to state, up
on the highest authority, mean
perfect and complete autonomy
for Cuba. can state with alb
solute knowledge of the facts
that they provide for home
rule for Cuba as thorough as
Canada under the BritishNorth
American act enjoys. In brief,
they are: Cuba to govern it
self. To collect all taxes, to
disburse all public moneys.
Spain to be debarred from all
share in the revenue of the is
land and all interference in
elections held on the island.
In fact, the scheme went to the
extreme point of empowering
Cuba to levy a tariff in her
own favor against exports from
Spain sent TO the island. The
Cuban attitude towards Spain
was to be entirely one. of indie
.pendence, except on the one
matter, that Cuba was to re-
main in name a Spanish pro-
vince. If in negotiating a peace
Secretary Olney could induce
the Cubans to pay Spain a
sum, something in the neigh
borhood of a hundred million,
it would be done. This might
be brought about by a Cuban
bond issue, and the United
States would in fashion stand
sponsor for the bonds.
The Spanish government has
notified Minister Dupuy de
Lone that it would accept Mr..
Olney's proposition.

some mules will also be included. Dr..
Gracieux de Malliol made the report to
the French government which resulted
lin commissioning MrssNosl q purchss-
| ing agent, and he is thus quoted: III
a few years America will not have
enough horses to supply the old coun-
try. France alone has 100 regiments Of
cavalry, and each regiment has about
1000 head of horses. France has the
finest cavalry in the world. She never
pays less than 5000 apiece for the horses
of her private soldiers, and her officers
horses cost her from $500 to $7O0 apiece.
No other country can compete with
America in fine bred horses" II the
French government IL willing to pay
from 5000 to $500 for army horses some
very fine remounts can be secured. It
is true that horses worth those prices
are none too plentiful, but such figures
will bring them to market. We inn
ngine, however, that there is somewhat
of braggadocio in the statement. and
would expect to find Mr.. Noel driving as
hard a bargain with sellers as any other
buyer, and paying about as low prices.
As an addenda to the foregoing comes
the announcement that an agent Of the
French government has purchased at
and around the race track at Forsyth
near Chicago, some IS head of thorough
oreds at $125 or less per head for use in
the French cavalry. This is much of .
departure from the time-honored con-
viction that the half-bread is much bet
ter for army service than the thorough
bred. Possibly serviceable skates" can
be picked up around race track for
$125, but 1t seems rather doubtful. The
price paid quite justifies our prediction
as 70 figures that will probably be of.
fered in the Kansas City market by the
agent of the French government. How.
ever, we welcome all buyers who will
take our horses-cheap or high class
Our own army officers who do not make
boasts concerning the character of the
remounts they purchase, and who are
limited in price, have difIiculty enough
in getting horses that fill their require
ments. and il our friends from France
obtain what they want at prices they
can AFFORD to pay, we shall certainly b.
glad to deliver to them the goods

WHERE TURKEYS THRIVE.
Some Reasons why westera breeders
Have an Advantage.

Some Reasons why Western Breeders
Have An Advantage.
The following il an extract from an
address by Samuel Cushman, Paw.
tucket, r. l., at the New York Farmers
institute, Middleville: 1.-THE largest
fiocks and the most thrifty look.
ing turkeys are found on farms
having high, dry land. which
has light growth Of grass and
where new breeding gobbler has lste-
ly been introduced. They generally
do best on land where they have not
been kept for years. As rule, 1t ID
more difficult to rnise them each year
they are kept on place, especially If .
large number are grown. Twenty
years ago it was easy for anyone to
raise turkeys. When place or region
is overstocked turkey diseases become
prevalent. Many in the east have given
up turkey raising on account of loss
from disease and those produced In.
ferior stock on account of western com.
petition. In turkey raising. as in pro.
ducing any other crop, it pays best to
raise the best"
This shows where western breeders
have the advantage. There il no part
of the west that has ever been over
stocked with turkeys, and the breed
ing of them is steadily gaining ground
in this part of the country. There was
a time not long ago when Rhode Island
turkeys stood at the head of the market
and Narragansett turkeys were the
best that could be produced anywhere.
Now the bronze turkey is at the head
and those produced in the west sell AZ
well as those from the east in any mar
ket where they are offered.
With creap feed, unlimited range
and a market that is rarely over
stocked. those who breed turkeys In the
west are almost certain 70 make more
money than those who breed any Other
kind of stock.-Farmers' Voice.

Sunday afternoon. Two were killed
outright, two were fatally wounded
and left for dead, two have mysteri-

or being held captive by the blood
thirsty bandits who committed the
awful crimes. The killed are; Capt.
B. F. Taylor, Of Searcy county, depu-
ty United States marshal; Joe Dodson,
OF Stone county, deputy United

are two brothers named Renfrow, OF
Searcy county. The names Of the
missing men are not known, but
they are supposed to be deputy sheriffa
from an adjoining county. The vic

who did the awful work Of carnage are
