Again the question Is being agtated OF a
club house for women, or rather the idea this
time, which originated with a local real es-
tate man, is to build a hall suitable for par
ties, club meetings, concerts or any such
gatherings. In connection there would be
parlors, kitchen and large banquet hall, also
one or two smaller dining rooms for informal
dinners or luncheons The place would be
fitted up with piano and other furnishings
necessary in such an establishment, and could
be rented by clubs, societies and private par
ties. Something in The way of hall OF this
kind is certainly needed in ST. Paul.

m and arrived at Springfield at 3 p. m, on MS
way to Dayton. He escaped by the back door OF

bitterness that prevails tonight, IL is almost I'M
possible to get at the facts as to the response
bility for the loss of lfe but II Is generally be-
lieved that the Sheriff ordered the troops to fire.

assembled at the rear of the building. and made
a second attack with sledgehammers upon the

at Wooster that mob had attacked the jail

.'The Cuban army is now In better conoiuoh u

independence than II has been since the beginning
of the war General Gomez has wel-dscpiined
army of about forty thousand men. who are de-

procuring arms and every day serves TO put them
on better footing in this respect Our troops
enjoy q vast advantage over the Spaniards In that
they are not injuriously affected by the climate.
NAV say that l have not seen case OF yellow
fever or smallpox among the Cuban soldiers since
/ have been on the island. and that have not
been sick a day myself. Furthermore We have no
difficulty in feeding our troops. In the portion OF
the country In which the Cuban troops are In con-
troll the provisions are protected and we draw our
supplies from this source. Our commissary Is
theref pre- regularly renewed and our supplies are
received in quantities quite sufficient to meet all
our wants" . ~
In reply to a question Captain Smith said "Al.

Cuba Is so much breath wasted. There is not
anything short of absolute independence"
Captain Smith Is an American. He has been IN
