CUBANS WOULD BUY
READY TO PAY INDEMNITY IF
SPAIN WILL EvACUATE.
Are More Firmly Determined Than Ever
to Keep Up the Fight for the
Absolute Independence of
the Island,

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The Herald
prints number of interviews with
leading Cubans here on the situation in
the island. The Cubans all declare that
autonomy fer the island is out of the
question, but most of them are in favor
Of paying Spain reasonable indemnity
providing she evacuates the island at
once. T. Estrada Palma, representa-
tive of the Cuban provisional govern
ment, said:
"To the Cuban patriots it makes little
difference whether Liberal or Con.
servative ministry directs affairs in
Spain. A change in government in
Spain does not alter the case Of the Gu
bans. They are now
More Firmly Determined Than Ever
to push the fight until the absolute in
dependence of Cuba is acknowledged.
I believe the Cubans are willing to pay
a reasonable indemnity to Spain pro-
vided she withdraw her troops from
Cuba before the island is completely
ruined"
Enrique j. de Varona said: II be-.
lieve autonomy would complicate,
rather than solve the Cuban situation.
Absolute independence is the aspiration
of the immense majority of the Cuban
people,
100000, 900 About the Amount.
Regarding the plan for the purchase
of Cuba from the Spanish government,
General Amelio Nunez, who for the
past 10 days has been in consultation
with the junta leaders in New York,
said:
~ cannot see how the plans for the
freedom of Cuba on the basis of guar.
antee to Spain by the United States of
an indemnity of $500, ,0oo.0 in cash
can be displeasing to any Of the parties,
except that the amount is greatly in ex.

DOES HE. LOVE YOU2
How to Find the State of n Your
Mans Affections.


Mans Affections.
"It is the easiest thing in the world %
said a young lady, according to the Chi
cago Journal, 'to tell if a young man
is in love with you. Yet scores OF
girls, just because they do not think
enough of themselves, overlook the
manifestations of sincere regard which
must always precede a definite con-
fession of love.
'Now, young man in love, or part
ly in love, always listens to every word
she utters. This is so invariably the
rule that a girl, when in company with
the young man and others, may address
some remark of little interest to nc
one in particular, and address itin such
a manner that it is impossible for it tc
be heard. If the young man is more
than ordinarily fond of the girl he will
evince special interest in that remark
and will not rest satisfied till he has dis
covered what it was. e
,.3z<T s@ss Then, again, ayoung man in love can
when in company with several, more
readily converse with them than with
the object Of his affection. For this
reason ne often appears to be far moro
interested in some girl he cares little
for than the girl he loves. Some young
men also develop a habit of contradict.
ing statements made by the girl they
are fond of. This seems an absurd!
thing to do, but it is a fact that many
love affairs take rise out of incessant
playful lquarrelings.'' :ssss

A Stage Line TO Two Harbors

A delegation from Cook county will
probably attend the annual meeting of
our county commissioners, and endeavor
to arrange for the Opening of the county
road from Beaver Bay to the Cook coun-
ty line. It Lake county is unable to
open it, they will try and provide for it
by the mutual action of both counties.
They DO not seek q complete road, appre-
clating that this county is not at present
in position to build one. What they are
after is passable winter road, and the,
establishment Of stage line between
Two Harbors and Grand Marais. The
delegation will be accorded respectful
nearing and we can assure them that
Lake county will do everything consist
ent to further their efforts. A winter
stage line would be boon to Grand
Mraris, while Two Harbors would derive
considerable benefit ia business way.
The road from here to Feaver Bay, built
this season, will be good road at all
times Of the year, and will improve with
use. II the matter is pushed, within q
few years Cook and Lake counties will
be joined by first elias highway.

INCIDENT OF TROLLEY TRAVEL.

A Front Seat Passenger Sees the Con-
ductor Operate a Safety Switch.
A man who was enjoying the air and
the scenery from the front seat of a
trolley car in the state of New Jersey
says the New York Sun, saw against
one of the rails of the track ahead
when the car had come to dead stoI
at a railroad crossing, tongue that
looked something like switch point
He did not at first realize what this
tongue was for, but he saw that The
point of it was toward the car, and that
it was also clear of the rail, so that il
it had bsen attempted to run the car
ahead without first closing the point
up against the rail the car would have
been run off the track. + r.
The conductor got down and went
ahead to the railroad track and looked
to the right and left to see that every
thing was clear and that it was safe t.
cross. The man sitting on the front
seat of the trolley car expected the mo-
torman would take this opportunity
to get down and close that switch, OF
that he would bend over and close il
with azcar hook, or somehow from The
car, but he didn't do anything Of the
sort; he just stood STILL But the con
ductor. bent over and put his hand into
ring, set between the tracks. Lifting
this ring he drew up a rod that was con
nected with the tongue in the trolley
track and by this means closed it sc
that the trolley car could pass over
And thus it was discovered by the trav
eler on the front seat that the tongu.
was a safety contrivance, which coult
be operated only by man actually
standing on the track to be crossed.
