This committee achieved national repu-

What do 1 think of the chances for
Cuba's freedom? In my opinion it is only
a question ofyfime until the struggling
Cubans will be free. The mode of fight
| ing on the island is such that the Span
| ish soldiers stand no chance against the
| Cubans in battle. The Cubans play
| around the enemy and only come in at
| times and strike this weaker points Then
| the conditions as r. CARDS health and in
| other ways do not agree with the Span
| ish and they are dying out rapidly. When
Cuba is free it will be one of the best
countries in the world, and l predict

buffalo Bill has always had trouble

he carries with him. said R. D. Dawson,

since Cody has been running his Wild
| West show the psrplexing problem has
been how to keep these Indians, Next
cans and cowboys sober. Fire-water is
the Indians weak spot, and you can't
say much more for the cowboy. All get
full when an opportunity presents itself.
Now, the trouble with these people is
that they never acquire what is known
as still Jag but when they get a few
drinks under their vest go off on rip
roaring jamboree, that is never compete
until they have shot out few lights in
bar rooms or indulged in other gun play
that lanll's them in jail or station house.
Bill would have to bail them out, because
he not only needed them in his business,
but was RESPONSE Bile under borld to return
| the Indians to their reservation safe and
sound, and. when he began to inquire up
| this item of expense he set about some
way to keep them away from whisky. He
| first tried to solve the probllm by warn
| ing all the bar keepers in each town visit
| ed that it was against the raw to Sell
| Indians intoxicants. but with Every new
| town visited the braves would find some
| saloon THAT would take their money in
| exchange for liquor, and the first thing
| Bill would know he would hear a canon

| fully solved the problem. He has had
| built an immense coffee pot holding a
| hundred gallons, in which dirst-class
| quality of coffee is always kept steaming
| hot. The pot is tipped by machinery,
| and every time one of his employees feels
strange tickling in the region of his
| thorax, he hastens to the monster coffee
| pot and takes a drink. The tickling dis

smiles every time he chances in the direc-
