Der 1.-THE secretary general OF Cuba.
DR.. Jose Congos;o. formerly Spanish
consul at Philadelphia. continues to
make himself unpopular. He has had
a dispute with a prominent conserva-
tive, Senior Francisco de Las Santos
GuZman, a former president OF the
congress. and he also has had a mis-
understanding with Senior Guetre. a
prominent autonomist, with the re-
suit, 1t is understood. that letters have
been written to Madrid calling atten-
ton TO the alleged eccentricities OF the
secretary general and also dwelling
upon his previous policy sentiments.
In fact. the dispute between DR.. Con-
gosto and Senior Guzman became so
heated hat IL nearly ended in a most
disagreeable manner. and their CONVEX
sation becoming generally known has
been much commented upon, and has
had a very ~unfavorabla effect among
the Spanish residents.
1t Is believed here that there will be
great excitement in Spain SO soon as
the United States congress meets. Let

Gently advised to keep up the struggle
for three months longer. pointing out
that the first act Of the Sagasta gov
would be the removal OF Gen.
eral Weyler and adding that war would
be made on the Spanish minister at
Washington, Senior Dupey de LONE. 1t
is charged that Senior Dupy de LONE
and DR.. Congosto are to blame for the
spread in the United States Of the sem
timent in favor Of autonomy and 1t Is
alleged that they have induced Amer
lean newspapers to advocate this
policy.
There Is much excitement here at
present over the news Of the landing Of
another filibustering expedition by the
Dauntless and the hard feelings against
Americans have consequently been in
creased in bitterness.

More Juvenile Cases.

| Calumet youngsters seem to have a
faculty for getting into scrapes OF some
kind or other and every other day there
are number OF cases OF this kind report
cd. The latest is one at the schoolhouse.
Ii seems that the members of the foot
ball team who changed their clothing in
one OF the cloakrooms at the central
building when they went to practice had
noticed the unaccountable disappearance
OF any loose change that happened to be
in the clothing which they had left IN the
cloakroom.
This thing had been going on for two
or three weeks until the boys began to
think that someone was in the habit of
going through their clothing, and yester-
day afternoon they set one OF the boys
on guard. He did net have to wait long
when he saw two youngsters run quietly
into the room and close the door. After
little they came out and left the build
ing in a hurry. The boys we're chased
and caught. In their pockets were found
considerable small change and numerous
pocket knives and other such things
which the boys had from time to time
missed. They had also left a marked
quarter OF dollar in the trousers pocket
OF one OF the boys and this was also
found.
The boys were both very small fellows
and brothers. Their case was reported
to the superintendent and they will pro-
badly be turned over to the county
agent. 1t seems that their stealinge,
although they had not amounted to a
great deal, had been going on for some
time and they had been kept in spending
money at the expense OF the high school
loot ball team.

growing in all respects; they also said
their grammars were not at all dusty,
for they cleaned their libraries once in
while.
The seniors are preparing essays for
