Reports Say That Cubans are
Gaining Ground.
SPANIARDS ARE WORSTED
General Garcia in the East and Gener-
al Rivera in the West Have Met the
Spaniards in Open Combat and the
Latter Came Out Second Best
Reforms Promised Cuba.

HAVANA, March 31-The news that
keeps coming in regarding the insur-
gents victories throughout the island
| is very encouraging to Cuban sympa-
thizers. In the eastern part of the
| island Gen. CaliXto Garcia, second in
command to Gen. Gomez of the Cuban
forces, has been doing some hard fight
ing and in nearly every case he has
been successful. His forces recently
routed the Spaniards in the large and
important town of Holguin and cap
tured that city. Besides this many
smaller places have been captured and
large amounts of ammunition and pro-
visions have fallen into the hands of
the Cubans. Gen. Garcia is now mas
ter of the situation in that section of
the island aud it is predicted that he
will soon compel the small Spanish
forces now remaining in the province
to evacuate it entirely.
The Cubans now control more terri
tory than they did before General
Weyler made his famous march to. the
east and the aggressiveness of the
Cubans shows that they are feeling
surer than everof gaining their free
dom at an early date. 1t is not now
near so hard for newspaper correspond
ents to end the Cuban camps as it was
before Weyler made his raid and this
of itself shows that the Cubans are
gaining power and the Spaniards are
losing hope.
In the province of Pinar del Rio the
Cubans have just gained a victory after
hard fought battle ani the Spanish
forces were badly cut to pieces and
were glad to have a chance to retreat.
General Rivera, who succeeded General
Maceo, has been active in reorganizipg
the Cuban forces in Pinar del RIO and
now has them in good fighting condi-
tiOn and that province is now more
under the control of the insurgents
than it was when Maceo was alive.
Everything looks favorable to the Gu
bans throughout the island

Hung jury DISCHARGED.

The hung jury in the Crosby-White
suit has been discharged by Justice Nc
Kie as they were unable to agree. Ac-
cording to the narrative, twenty-five
citizens signed a guarantee to Judge
Crosby for $500 each as bonus for Sc
curing the Corralitos road. The Judge
sent word from the City of Mexico that
be declined to receive any such guarau-
tee on paper; what he wanted was the
cash. In subsequent discussion
among several of the parties who sign
ed that paper, it came near being torn
up, but was finally handed over to A.
p. Coles for safe keeping. 1t is held
that the signers are not under legal OBJ
legation to pay that S., 900 as he refused
TO receive the paper, although moral
obligation may remain. Judge Clark
represented Mr.. Crosby and Mr.. w. h.
Burgess appeared for Mr.. White. Judge
Clark will file suits against the other

WIZ Utah Mormons Succeed

In the valley of Salt Lake where the
winters are so long and the GROWN O
| season so short, where the farms aver.
age but 20 acres. and where the me-
t hoos of irrigation are crude as COM
ired with those of other states. the
farmers Went through the recent hard
lme with smiling faces. And still
more remarkable is the fact that of all
the Mormon banks, business houses,
fac'orles and other industries depend
ent directly upon these farmers, not
one has faiied. The le 4diog priuciple
of the Mormons is that every farm
should be seli-sustaining, raising all
the family eats except few things
ike tea, coffee aud sugar. The next
principle is that the farm shall be
owned by the tenant aud not by some
lindlord. The next is that it shall be
no larger than necessary for the sup
port OF the.family. Under these princi-
piles the Mormons have built up a
prosperity like nothing else in the
worlt-a prosperity the wonder of all
who have seen it, and as fully attested
by strangers as by the Mormons.-

One is from the coldest extreme of the
east; the other is typical southerner
They are Hale of Maine and Chiffon of

of summer attire. His vest is buttoned
high his coat fits smoothly over his

his tie exactly in place, and his trousers
are properly creased. The immacu-

senators to abandon their vests and
souch into crash suits. The starch in
his linen seems to be waterproof, and
the heat never loosens a button in his
vest. The color of his complexion is
habitual, and gives no testimony against
the temperature. His sack suit fits as
snug and smooth as in fashion plate.
