The Spaniards have repeatedly stated that
the Cuban insurgents Will not face them in
open battle. but retreat after the first few
volleys have been exchanged. and that their
perfect knowledge of the country roads and
trails enables them to escape.
Nine months experience in the field with
Generals Gomez, Maceo and Agurre has
given me tho opportunity OF studying thu
war and of comparing the tactics on both
sides There is much truth In the Spanish
reports. but the reasons that compel the
Cubans to employ their present tactics are
carefully omitted,
The one great object OF the Cubans In
the field is not so much to win by fighting
as 1t is to cripple Spain by draining her
resources. Tho longer they can hold out
without giving battle the more money Will
be needed to clothe and feed the vast Span
ish army. Tho financial condition OF Spain
is understood by every Cuban soldier. and
they all fully recognize the Importance Of
putting their oppressors TO as much extra
expense as possible.
The Cuban campaign since Macoo exc
cnted his great raid has beel purely d.
fonsive. having for its object the above re-
suit Chiefs like Gomez and Maceo have
at times assumed tho offensive, but only
for short time, These defensive tactics
have proved of more benefit to the Cubans
than series OF pitched battles. The sue
cessful working Of their plan is demon
strstcd ieyery timc that General Weyler
asks for endorsements.
Next 10 Maoeos great campaign In Pinar
del Rio probably the most remarkable ex-
ample az defensive tactics has been those
employed by General j. NJ. Aguirre since
he assumed command OF the insurgent
forces IN the province OF Havana
Although the other chiefs have succeeded
in evadinc the Spaniards as well az
Aguirre, yet his proximity TO the capital
makes his campa'gn OF speeial Importance.

Prosperity in Michigan

Marshtield, Mich, Otc. 12.-The
Detroit, Toledo & Michigan Railroad
Company has cut wages for shop
men and train crews all the way
from 30 per cent to 80 per cent.
Passenger trains make l56-mile
runs in six hours. The engineers
received 3 cents a mile formerly :;
now they are paid $3.50 for the run.
Firemen and brakemen were cut
about 50 per cent.
Freight engineers receive $285
for fourteen hours work, instead of
$50.
This is the second cut since Nc
Kinley was elected. The first took
10 per cent, and the company prom
ised that the wages would be re-
stored as prosperity arrived
According to Mark Hanna and
other political confidence men pros
perity has once more spread it's
wings over this great land, and we
would have no trouble in locating it
if we only have confidence.
However, prosperity works in
wondrous ways. Brakemen who
received $l.45 a day before Nc
Kinley's election have been cut
down to so cents by the company.
The Detroit, Toledo & Michigan
Railroad is branch of the Lime
Northern, and runs from Toledo
Ohio, to Allgeran, Mich.
The employees are red-hot over the
great reduction in wages, and the
republicans find it difficult to explain
away the fact that prosperity means
more wealth for the trusts and great
combinations of capital and less
wages for the already unpaid work
in ymen of the country.

Accused OF Three Murders.

FORT SCOTT, Kan, Oct. 13.-Harvey
Jackson, a refugee for whose appre-
hension the government has spent
to-day by Deputy Marshal Jones in a
hut on the river bank near Chetopa.
He is charged with murdering Jane
Singleton, his housekeeper, near Mus
kogee, l. T., in June, 1896, and is also
accused of having murdered man
near Oswego and of having shot
another man at Muskogee years ago.
He confesses having shot the Single
ton woman, but says it was in self
defense. He is in the federal Jail here,
and will be sent back to Muskogee.

Corner on Apples Contemplated.

Corner on Apples Contemplated.
SLOAN SPRINGS. Ark, Oct 13.-The
late rain has greatly stimulated the
apple business and that industry is
fairly booming, with prices steadily
advancing. Choice shipping apples
sold to-day at So per barrel, the top
for extra shippers reaching So. 10.
There are evidences, some of the local
fruit men claim, of an attempt on
the part Of certain railroad and cold
storage interests to run corner on
the entire apple product of the coun-
try, but the developments so far have
not been sufficient to warrant posi-
tive statement that such is really true.
In view of the great scarcity of apples
generally, however, it is admitted by
some buyers that a corner could easily
be accomplished.

DARK HORSE TO WIN.
Charles Hart Likely to Get the Okla
homa Nlarshals ship.

WARRINGTON, Oct. 13.-The situation
with regard to the Oklahoma mar
shalship has again shifted. and it now
appears certain that none of the
names heretofore prominently con-
nected with the race will be consid-
cred, but that the president and the
attorney general have decided to ap-
point comparatively new man. 1t
seems highly probable now that the
marshal will be named in few days.
and that the commission will go to
Charles Hart. Mr.. Hart is an ex.
Ohioan, and is strongly backed by
Ohio influence. He is now resident
OF Oklahoma, but formerly lived at
Warren, Trumbull county. o. It
seems that Mr.. Hart is personal &C.
