He was sort of student-blooded,
With dash O. city style;

Every day, than let work gall him

An where nature seemed to call him,

Now an then, the Fates would bride
To produce a first class scholar
For to tassel off our tribe,
We would take it out in knowledge;
So we put the boy to College.
Johnny lots o. letters sent us,
Full O. things we knowed before,
An a heap O. trouble lent us

While his keep we KEEP on earnia'
From our hard an clayish lam,
We was feared he couldn't be learin'
Much, if writin' with school-han'
Things that we could understan';
An we worried much about him
An began to fear an doubt him.
An, I says one day to father,
w'm a-goin' to put a stay
To this evcrlastin' bother:

An Pa said with mannish guesses

But somehow, do declare,

An | thought 10 great distress,
"Ho is dodgin' me, | guess,

Then my heart made sad complaint,

STATE Of AFFAIRS IN CUBA.
CUBANS IN GOOD CONDITION.
Will Accept Nothing But Indspsn
denoe.

Captain ". ID. Smith, OF the Cuban army,
spent considerable time again ,yith the Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations. In a
brief interview with IA representative OF the
Associated Press he said:
"The Cuban army is now in better con-
dition to resist the Spaniards and to main
tain the fight for independence than 1t has
been since the beginning OF the war. Gener-
al Gomez has well disciplined army OF
about AZ, 600 men who are determined to hold
out until their efforts shall be crowned with
victory. Our soldiers are rapidly procuring
arms, and every day serves to put them on
better footing In this respect
"The troops enjoy vast advantage over
the Spnniards, in that they are not In
jurlously affected by the climate. I may
state that have not seen case OF yellow
fever or smallpox among the Cuban soldiers
since have been on the island, and that
have not been sick II day myself. Further
more. we have no difficulty in feeding our
troops In the portion OF the country in
which the Cuban troops are In control the
provisions are protected and we draw our
supplies from this source. Our commissary
IL therefore regularly renewed and our sup
plies are received In quantities quite suf-
flcient to meet all our wants"
In reply to question Captain Smith said
"All talk about autonomy and OF Spanish re-
forms for Cuba IL so much breath wasted
There Is not u man in the Cuban army who
will agree to accept anything short OF abso-
Lutte independence"
Captain Smith IL an American. He has
been In Cuba for year and is an offcer In
General Gomez's body guard.

CANNOT AGREE.
Hawaii and Japan Quarreling Over Immi
grafton

The following Hawaiian advices were
brought by the steamer Peru: The Hawaiian
government in its reply to japan on May a.
refused to coincide with the views held by
that country on the sending back Of 523 i'm
migrants brought by the Kiniani March ..
Official notice has been given Japan that the
emigration laws Of Hawaii are to be ygor-
ously upheld
The answer OF Japan had not been de-
liyered to Japan's Hawaiian representative.
II was Learned, however, that the view taken
by Japan Is that, while the right of the Ha-
waiian government to pass reasonable laws
respecting immigration Is not denied 1t Is
contended that II the contention OF the Ha-
waiian officials were correct the immigration
laws of that country We're in contrayention
OF the treaty existing between those coun-
tries.
Further. It was stated that Japan says the
action of the executive In returning the Jap
anese immigrants was arbitrary and capri
ciously enforced, and that the decision oil
the supreme court In the habeas corpus cases
was denial OF Justice, and for that reason
the Iinwiinn government is expected to rec
ognize the principle OF indemnity in the
cases of kininni Maru immigrants presented
to the government
The empire OF Japan also demands assur-
auce OF this government that u like action
would not be taken with japanese immi-
grants coming into Hawaii. The position
taken by the Hawaiian government is that
the immigration laws are reasonable exer-
else Of police power of the state, and that
the administration had impartialy enforced
them. For this reason, the Hawaiian gov.
ernment considers that the pr incipal indem-
nifty cases do not apply.

clined an urgent invitation to become one OF

In the capacity Of legal adviser when nego-
tiations were pending for the reference Of
the question to arbitration, 1t became neccs-
sary to secure the services OF a lawyer whose
high standing and prestige would strengthen
Venezuela's presentation. President Crespo
wrote an autograph letter to Mr.. Cleveland
and forwarded 1t to him by special messen-
ger, w. l.. Scruggs, special counsel for Ven-
ezuela. He took the letter to Princeton and
delivered 1t In person to the former Presi-
dent.
After giving the proposition due consider

graph letter to President Crespo. In which

Cleveland taa that in view OF his we'll

lief that right Is on her side Of tho coitro-
versy, as shown by various official acts and
representations during his service as Chief
Magistrate, he felt that 1t would be mani
