g. Ewing Price a Traitor.

Major G. Ewing Price, the Cuban
"patriot," has disappeared from Kan
sas City. Before leaving he offered to
give information of the resources and
strength of the insurgent forces in
Cuba to the spanish consul there, but
his offer was spurned. The World
says concerning him:
G. Ewing Price, who claimed to
have been a major in the Cuban army
and who returned to the United
States from the field Of battle instead
OF remaining to fight for freedoms
cause, like the Arab. has silently
stolen away"
lie moved wide path In Kansas
City, having as he did an afternoon
newspaper for his sponsor, which pub
lished columns Of Vari-cOlOred stuff
about him, and KEEP. a reporter con.
stantly at his elbow to gather up any
Cuban pearls of wisdom be might
drop At the Victoria hotel 1t was
said that the major left town several
days ago, but he forgot to pay his
board bill, and the hotel people are
sad. Hereafter Cuban majors will be
required to put up In advance.
Spanish Consul Enrique Guerra also
tells Of Major Prices doings in way
not at all fdttering to the alleged
Cuban patriot. He says Price called
at his Office one day last week and
after discussing the Cuban situation,
asked him what the information con-
corning the strength and resources Of
the Cuban forces would be worth to
Spain.
Nothing" the vice consul told him.
The vice consul says lie asked Price
why he did not continue to work for
the Cuban cause. Price said there
was not enough money in it. He said
there was plenty of enthusiasm in
this country, but very little cold cash.
He was after the latter. When Price
saw the Spanish vice consul would not
buy his information he departed at
once. He has not been seen since.
About one week ago Price almost
died from the effect of an overdose oil
hydrate of choral, q drug to the use Of
which he was addicted.

the grandest man this country has

The Democrats and Populists of

have united to throttle the internal

The Republicans of this state are
weaving around themselves a web

The Free Homes Pro pect.

Washington, Jan. l9.-TO-day's
session of the committee on
public lands of the house showed d
majority for the free homes bill,
which was referred to that committee
by the ruling of Speaker Reed. The
first opposition developed when Mr..
Shaforth Of Colorado, objected to the
senate bill on the ground that it did
not include the Ute reservation in
Colorado. He offered this in the form
Of an amendment. Flynn opposed the
amendment because 1t tended to
handicap the bill. He thought the
senate had loaded it down too much
already. A vote sent the Shafortb
amendment to the wastebasket. Then
the chairman Of the committee offered
an amendment, exempting all lands
acquired through treaty with Indians,
In which the government Is acting as
trustee of the funds. This was also
knocked out, and the committee, by
a vote, decided to report the bill as
amended by the senate in the house.
Lacey designated Flynn to make the
report, reserving to himself the right
to make a minority report embodying
his amendment.
The general interest In the fate Of
the measure is now concentrated upon
Speaker Reed. The question is
whether the speaker will recognize
the friends Of free homes In an effort
to pass IL. In this connection, west.
ern members recall the speech which
Reed made at Wichita during the
campaign, when he told the Oklaho-
mans present that Flynn was the best
delegate he had ever seen in the house,
aud that the result of their voting,
whether they returned Flynn or de-
feated him, would decide the question
whether they wanted free homes or
not. That speech was used in the
campaign to beat Flynn. Reeds re-
marks were said to be, 10 their nature,
an attempt to coerCe voters to send
him back to congress. 1t is now
Reeds turn to cash in. Everything
depends on his decision whether the
bill shall have another hearing in the
house or not. If the friends Of the
bill can get recognition the votes are
there to pass it as it came from the
senate. Lacey is not unfriendly to it,
but as chairman Of the committee, he
has to keep in touch with the speaker
and his opposition to the bill as it
now stands is probably inspired.
