President Raves, Littre BOOK.

Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles
Foster was taking to me one day about
RutherfoId 3. Hayes, says a writer in the
Chicago Times-Herald. Foster represent
ed Hayes district in congress when Hayes
was President. They were political and
personal friends of almost a lifetime stand
ing. Said Foster to me:
4 got plenty Of patronage under Hayes,
to be sure, but for long time never land
ed the men of whom I was most particular
and earnestly Interested I would go to
the President and lay the claims of my
man before him. He would usually ac-
quiensce in everything that 1 said, because
in most cases he knew the applicants as
wei as l did. Well, in every instance
where some devoted friend was concerned,
the President would say: oh, well, Char
lie, we will fix that in a day or So Then
he would reach down in a drawer, pull out
small book and a short stub of a pencil
and make a note of the man and his wants
l would then, for days to come, scan with
much interest the list of appointments
sent to the Senate, but none that had found
a place in the Presidents notebook were
to be seen among them. Still, l didn't
complain much, for l knew that Hayes
was doing the best he could. Time went
on and finally 1 called at the white house
to insist that certain friend of mine who
was then in Washington be instantly ap-
pointed as consular agent abroad. This
gentleman had political claims on me and
also on the President. 1 stated my case as
briefly as possible to the President who
listened attentively. When 1 had finish
ed the President said
Why, certainly, Charlie. Yes, yes, to
be sure, and then he dived for that book
of his.
Just as he was opening its leaves
grabbed his arm and said Hold on

mans name goes in that jackass bookv

Il can answer that question for them at

The Reforms in Cuba.

If the greater part of Cuba has not been
"pacihed," then the Spanish authorities
in the island are playing big farce. Gen.
Weyler has reported to the Madrid gov
ernment that the western part of the is
land is ready for the institution of the
reforms voted last year. and orders have
been given that they be applied. II the
Insurgents are still strong and active, the
attempted application of the reforms will
be farcial.
The first thing to be done. under the
difficulties OF census taking with insur-
gents hiding in the bushes and picking off
enumerators, or scattering dynamite along
railway tracks and blowing trains to
pieces, need not be dwelt upon. Census
taking even under the most favorable cir
cumstances is a hard job, and sometimes
raises miniature wars. After the census
has been taken i'm Cuba, there is to be a
series of elections, at which members of
the provincial council are to be balloted
for These provincial councils are to elect
members of the colonial council. i'm which
the Cubans. or rather Cuba, is to have the
majority. the minority and the executive
being appointed by Spain. The colonial
council is to have legislative functions up
on the affairs Of the island, but the veto
power is retained by Spain.
If the island were really pacihed, there
would be some difficulty in putting the re-
forms into effect. The labors of the Span
iards to the end Of instltutng "home rule"
in Cuba will be watched with interest

MANISTEE WRECK
Disaster of Fourteen Years Ago
Recalled by the Finding
of a Bottle.
Contained a Note Purporting to
Have Been Written by
the Captain.
Forty Persons Perished, Not One
Being Left to Tell the
Tale.

BAYFIELD,, Wis, May 2O.-Five miles
south of this harbor, half imbedded in
the sand on the beach, James Taggart,
lumberman, discovered the first mes
sage from the 40 persons who perished
in the wreck of the steamer Manistee,
nearly ii years ago. 1t was note care
fully enclosed in heavy glass bottle.
The writing had faded with the lapse
of years, and the glass of the bottle was
worn thin with its constant beating
against the sandy shores Of Chequame-
gon bay. The message on the note was
as follows:
November, 1888. Left Bayfield, at
Ito p. M. Just in sight of Michigan
lighthouse. We may not survive the
storm. Heavily laden. and hard to turn
in the storm. Captain Mckay, steamer
Manistee.'
The writing had faded so as to be al
most illegible. There is general i'm
preston in this town that the message
is genuine. The action of the sand and
waves OH the bottle shows that it has
been tossed around the beach for long
time. The faded writing also proves
conclusively that the note was not writ
ten few weeks or months ago for the
, purpose of hoax.
The Manistee was wooden steamer,
and was owned by the Lake Michigan
and Lake Superior line, and traded be-
tween Chicago and Duluth. On the
night she went down, she was on the
way from Bayfield, to Ontonagon, on her
/ trip to Chicago.
The fate of the Manistee was never
known. Out of the 40 persons on board
when she went down, no one was left
to tell how the Steamer sank, nor we're
any bodies washed ashore. With the
exception of the floating wreckage, moth
ing was ever found from the steamer
until Taggart picked up the bottle. A
belief has been general that the machin.
cry of the steamer gave out that night
in the gale, and that the falls of the
lifeboat were frozen over, so that they
could not be lowered by the crew.

several children. He talked freely with
the officers who brought him here, and
denies all completely in the crime. He
says the story told by Holy Track is a
lie from beginning to end, so far as he
is concerned. Defender was brought
from Standing Rock in broad daylight
and was taken directly through the
town of WiIona, where the crime was
committed, but no violence was at
tempted, the residents of that place be-
ieving that all the men will meet proper
punishment in court, and that it is best
for the law to take its course. The Off
GERS in charge of the case stated that
they did not believe there was particle
of doubt that enough evidence would be
produced at the trial to convict all five
men of murder

GREEK DEFEAT COMPLETE.

said to Have Lost Two Thousand Killed
and Wounded at Domokos.
LONDON, May 2O.-London is still
without accounts of the battle of Do
mokos from the Turkish side, but it is
evident that the Greek defeat was COM
plete and decisive. An Italian officer
with the Greeks put their killed and
wounded at 1000, but probably this is
much exaggerated, as the Greek posi-
tons were well protected.
1t is believed that Edhem Pasha will
insist upon the surrender to him of the
passes over the Othrys range before he
consents to an arnistice, but, save for a
small force Of Turkish cavalry following
the retreating Greeks at distance Of
1000 yards, the Turks have not at
tempted to attack the Greek rear guard
The war is virtually ended. The
crown prince headed the retreat and his
headquarters are now established close
to Devenfourka pass, q very narrow
gorge through the Othris range, about
IL miles from Lamia.
The greatest depression exists at
Athens. There is complete collapse
of the high hopes raised by the optimis-
tic dispatches of Constantine but as yet
there are no disorders. While the battle
was in progress the government vainly
endeavored to get at the exact position
and the number of casualties but Con-
stantine sent only one evasive reply.
Very feeble were the shouts raised when
additional troops started for the front.
