LAND SIEGE OF HAVANA
Is Part of the Plan for Conducting the
War.

Washington, April 2S-Another con-
ference has been held between Gen.
Miles, commanding the United States
forces and representatives of the CUBAN
civil and military authorities The lat
ter included Senior QueSada, charge
d'affaires of the Cuban legation, Brig
adler General Nunez and Lieut.. Arti-
ago of the Cuban army.
Lieut. Artiago has seen seventeen
months service in the field and Gen.
Nunez has an intimate knowledge Of
all the ports of Cuba, having directed
the movements of all flibustering par
ties. The conference brought about a
full discussion of the plans of cooper
alton between the United States and
Cuban forces. The details of this CO.
operation are guarded with the strict
est secrecy.
The exploit of Lieut. Rowan in land
ing near Santiago, has been known for
several days to both the United States
and Cuban authorities, as they cooper
ated in executing this move. The Gu
ban authorities here furnished the
guides and necessary papers to see
Lieut. Rowan through the Cuban lines.
1t is in execution of the plans for a
landing at Santiago and SaSua, two
points on the Cuban coast, one north
and one south, respectively, with a view
of effecting functions with both Gen.
Gomez and Gen. Garcia Now, that
Lieut.. Rowan is on his way to effect a
junction at Santiago, it is not improb-
able that another junction will be made
by way of Sagua. The first purpose OF
THESE movements II IL C1SlOOo, - ~
bring about a full equipment of insur-
gent forces, rather than to secure a
joint movement between them and the
United States troops.
It is said that Garcia and Gomez to-
gether can muster $4,000 men, and that
they will be able to make a strong for
ward movement on Havana as soon as
they have arms, ammunition and medi
cal supplies. The latter, and particu-
larly quinine, is said to be greatly need
ed The understanding among those
s.,+1 h tl1n Mo n
operation is that the Cuban forces will
advance on Havana and make a land
siege in cooperation with the blockade
now in progress by the United States

Washington, D. c., April 2S.-Craig Har-
ris, son of Senator Harris of Kansas, has
enlisted in the United States army. This
sudden action on the part of the son of
the Junior senator from Kansas was a
great surprise to his family, as he had
signifed no intention of volunteering in
the service. Fearing that parental OBJ
lection might prevent his enlisting, he
FASTENED down to the quarters of the ma
tional guard of the District of Columbia
and signed the enlistment papers. After
complying with all the requirements and
formalities he returned home and inform
ed his father of what he had done. After
discussing the matter the senator relent-
ed and congratulated the young man for
his patriotic action
Senator Harris has been receiving nu-
merous congratulations from his col
leagues in the senate today. When asked
it is true that my son has enlisted. While
1 might have objected if 1 had known of
affair is over L am really glad of it. He
is quite young, but of a healthy constitute
ton and is almost perfect physically.
He enlisted in company d, Fifth bat
terry, District of Columbia national guard.
He was fortunate in securing this COM
pany, as it is composed of some of the
personally acquainted with Captain Eng
land of the company, and many of the re-
them is a grandson of the late Senator
Harris of Tennessee. 1 would have pre-
fered to have had him in some Kansas
company, and if his company is not or
dered to the front L will have him trans
ferred to some other, as 1 intend to have
him in the field of action, now that he is
Young Harris is elated over his pros
pect of getting to the front within a short
ance, is of the blonde type, nearly six feet
in height and weighs 160 pounds.

RUN OUT THE TRAMPs.
Co6eyville Citizens " til Clubs and
Whips Empty the Loafing Places.

Coffeyville Journal: Late Monday
evening, about twenty-five citizens
armed themselves with clubs and whips
and started out to visit all the places in
and near the city, where tramps and
outlaws are accustomed to spend the
night. 1t was the crowds intention to
run out every ''vag and bum and make
them leave this vicinity.
The first place visited was the straw
stack on Squire Davis place, southeast
of the city. Here several negroes were
found sleeping, but were soon awake
and making 2:40 gait across the corn
field toward the river. Finishing their
work at this place very quickly, the
crowd went down to the little white
school house near the Iron Mountain
railroad. There were several vags loaf
ing around there and they, also, took to
the brush in short order. The crowd
then returned to the city, feeling that
its work had been done we'll for the first
night. The cOngregating places of the
'bumS and vagS' will be visited reg
ularly until the nuisance is entirely
abated.

CYIS A PACK ON THE BACK
Of the Republican Party of Kansas
Says Nearly Every Republican.

w. H. Hornaday who has been trav-
cling through the northern part of the
state in the interests of eastern
financial publication. said today that he
is greatly surprised at the sentiment
against Cy Leland is the towns which
he has visited.
Il was astonished at the statements
of many prominent men to this effect,
but my surprise was unlimited when
some of Leland's most trusted lieuten-
ants said that it is time for Leland to
retire.
Men with whom Leland has worked
for many years are ready to fight him
now. They seem to hold the opinion
that Leland hampers the work of the
Republican party while manipulating
it to procure favors for himself and his
few Immediate friends This the Re
pub1icans say they will tolerate no
longer and are now in open rebellion.
Some of Leland's closest political
friends and hardest workers in the
First district assured me that Cy Lee
land must not name the next Republic
can candidate for governor That it
must be a man who could not only hold
every vote in the Republican party in
Kansas but who in the fight this fall
can pull 10000 to 1900 votes from the
other parties. Otherwise it is the fault
of the enemy if we are not theirs.
1T seemed to make no difference
what kind of a man 1 talked to. Wheth-
er a merchant. banker, grocer, or farm
er, this was the burden of their song"

LAUGHING AT Us.
st. James Gazette AllUdes to Buster
Against Seventh Rate Power

London, April 2s.-The ST. James Gazette
this afternoon continues to lead the press
in hostility to the United States. 1t says:
Neither Spain nor America is in the
least prepared for war. 1t will be au-
tumn before the mobs of men with mus
kets are fit to trust in the field. They
are no more at war, in the modern Euro
pean sense than would be the squab-
blings and flibustering of a couple of
South American republics"
The ST. James Gazette also publishes a
letter from a correspondent. who remarks:
1.-The wild hurry and nervous tremor with
which the United States is preparing to en-
counter a seventh rate power like Spain
shows the ludicrous and contemplate po-
sition in which the braggarts would have
been placed had Lord Salisbury given
President Cleveland the answer he richly
deserved. and so brought them face to
world

LAND PIRATES SENTENCED
They Made a Business of Robbing
Freight Cars.

United States District Judge Foster
wound up the affairs of the April term
of court by sentencing four men to the
penitentiary. The men are J. NJ
Drumm, J. w. Padgett, ]. w. Thomp-
son and I. F. Seery. The first three
named were given three years each and
Seery was let off with one year. Seery
is young colored man.
The men might be called land pi-
rates. They would board a loaded
freight car at Manhattan and help
themselves to what they wanted which
they pitched out of the door while the
train was in motion. Afterward they
would go back and gather up the goods
and peddle them through the country.
They were captured by Special Officer
Peterson of the Union Pacific and when
found a mold for making counterfeit
half dollars was found in their possess
sion Padgett, Drumm and Thompson
were convicted of counterfeiting as well
as theft. They were tried for theft in
the federal court because the goods
were thrown from the car in the Fort
Riley military reservation.
