Washington has only the word OF
the Morton Cadets as to whether they
were entitled to the first prize or not.
Here where the drill was held the opin-
ion is that the Morton's should have
been ruled off the ground for fraud at
tempted by their officers. Washington
has no cause to get hot over the man
ner in which the company from there
was treated.

THEY HAVE TROUBLES.
A Book Dealer Given Advice BY a
Stranger.

A Book Dealer Given Advice BY a
Stranger.
From the Dallas News.
Book dealers have their troubles as
we'll as other people. They probably
answer more questions than a railway
station agent or the bright young man
who presides at the window of bu-
reau Of information office.
A Main street dealer was not sur
prised therefore the other day when a
clerical looking stranger walked into
his place Of business and began to
look around.
Have you got 1.-THE woman in
White" by Collins?" he inquired
OF course the dealer had it, and was
only too anxious to make a sale.
Have you got all Alone" which is
also by Collins?" the quiet stranger
continued.
Sure the dealer had it, and by this
time he became interested.
II forgot the author, but there is a
book called In the Dark that is said
to be very fine"
BY that time the dealer had all the
books on his counter and was prepar-
ing to wrap them up.
Never mind" said the stranger.
II don't want to buy. 1 merely want
to suggest that if you have the 'Wo-
man in White, All Alone and In the
Dark that you have a good thing.
Good day, sir"

The San Francisco chinese are more
than a match for the police, and hide
the slave women whom they hold for
prostitution beyond the power of the
police to discover them. The police
will see the women at the window
hear their calls for help, enter, and be
told by the celestial liar OF pigtail
that there is no woman there, and
search shows none.

WEYLER AT SEA.
[By Cable to the Associated Press.l

by Cable to the Associated Press
4 HAVANA, April 6, 1S97.-Captain Cen
eral Weyler left Cienfuegos Province of
Santa Clara, yesterday, on board the
steamer Conception and has since passed
by the ports of Trinidad and Tunas, in
the same Province. He is believed to be
on his way to Jucaro, the port in Puerto
Principe, which is the southern extremity
of the Meren Jucaro military line.
4 Crowds of people gathered at Cien-
fuegos to bid him farewell, and those
present cheered the Captain General, cry
ing
viva morality referring to General
Weyler's attempts to purify the adminis-
tration of Cuba.
4 The Union Constitutional Conserva-
tive, commenting today upon the capture
at Fernandina, Fla, on Saturday last, of
the tug Alexander Jones by the dynamite
gunboat Vesuvius, says that the admin
istration of President Mckinley shows it
is sincerely decided to comply with the
neutrality laws in suppressing flibuster-
ing expeditions and expresses the hope
that it will be successful in preventing
the insurgents from obtaining assistance
until the revolution ends, a climax which
is said to be approaching rapidly.
