Santiago, Aug. ia secret meet
ing was held last night at the palace
between the commanding officers OF
the American army and the Cuban
leaders. The strictest secrecy was
maintained, but it can be said with
good authority that Gen. Garcia was
present at the meeting which lasted
an hour and half. The only infor-
nation procured is that the Cuban po-
sition was thoroughly reviewed and II
was resolved to disband the Cuban
army and the United States SHOULD
pay the men off. This involves the
expenditure of 5000 600, but is most
important to the prosperity Of the
island, whose wealth is entirely agTl-
cultural; nobody, planter or farmer
dared to cultivate his lands while the
insurgent bands were in the fields
raiding and burning.

The report of the Secretary of the In
terror shows that only a little more
than one-half of the public domain of
the United States is either reserved or
appropriated The area still remaining
vacant amounts to sol, 343,e53 acres,
without including Alaska, which is
supposed to embrace nearly 4OO,O00,000
acres more. The entire area of the
United States is placed at l $50, OH ,G92

owned by individuals or by corpora

the control of the general government.
The amount reserved for schools, In
dams, military and naval purposes
railroad grants, parks, forest reserva-
tions, etc, including all territory re-
served from sale for any purpose what
soever, amounts to 49,, AL, IA acres, so
that, taking the reserve land and the
vacant land together, only about one
half of the area of the United States

A Joke on a Chicago Doctor.

DR.. Charles Gatchell, of Chicago, IS
not telling this story. The reason is
that he is too deeply concerned. But
the story is IL true one.
DR.. Gatchell is a bachelor, and for
that reason his embarrassment Is
greater than it otherwise would De-
When he and other members of the
medical profession started from chi
cago to attend the national homoe-
pathic convention in Omaha, they oc-
cupied sleeper. Or. Gatchell was
assigned to lower six, and being tired.
retired at an early hour. When the
train arrived at Galesburg the car was
set out to wait for a train following
some of the physicians desiring to go
later from Galesburg.
That evening there was a wedding
in high life at Galesburg, and OF
course the usual amount of ribbon dec
Grating and rice throwing. Some of
the bridal party ascertained that the
contracting parties had engaged sec
ton six in sleeper, and they deter
mined to decorate it up. BY mistake
they got into the wrong car. Dr.
Gatchell was peacefully sleeping and
alone in the car The decorators set
to work, and in short space of time
had the section nicely decorated with
ribbons and flowers. Then they hid to
await the coming of the groom and
bride, first sending out spy to report
their arrival.
Presently the spy sneaked out and
reported that Mr.. and Mrs. Blanke
We're in their car, which was down
the track Il short distance. But the
decorators knew nothing of this They
rushed into the car they had first Wis
tied. pulled the curtains of section six
aside. and before the astonished doe
tor could protest he found himself bur
led beneath an avalanche of rice, old
shoes and flowers.
When DIR. Gatchell recovered from
the awful shock to his bachelor nerves
he began to talk. He talked earnestly
and well, but the merry crowd fled
before he could finish his rather tor
rid speech.-TlH Omaha World-Her-

Noble Act Of MissIssipplan In the Stormlng
of the Fortress.

The Hon. John Temple Graves, In
brief speech before the Georgia Wo-
mems Club told on the spur of the
moment beautiful stGry-a true story
which embalms the heroism and
surprising chivalry of a gallant vet
eran now living in Atlanta. MI
Graves said:
"This is an era of heroes. We are
glorifving the prowess of Dewey and
Hobson and Blue and browning them
with immortal memories. And this is
right. The appreciation of heroes pro-
duces heroes. Men do not mind FISK
ing their lives for country that VIII
remember the daring. And the time
TO recognize heroes is while they live,
not after they are dead. Let us re-
member our present heroes while they
are with us, and let us not now or ever
forget the heroes yet living whose
prowess glorified an earlier day.
There is hero and a knight OF
chivalry in this hall tonight. Let me
tell you the splendid story which his
modest lips have never told:
THE war with Mexico is a part of
our martial history. Taylor and Scott
and Lee came out of 1t immortal. The
epic of that great struggle was the
storming of Chapultepec. That frown-
ing fortress was the Gibraltar of Mex
leo. Its massive walls seemed I'm
pregnaule. But American daring halt
ed at no obstacles, and an intrepid
band of volunteers was chosen to scale
and assault it.
"Among the first of the dauntless
few who braved their way through
shot and shell to the fortress on that
dreadful day was a young Mlsslsslp-
man. handsome as Alcibades, proud,
confident. and thrilling with patriotic
fervor He was among the hrst, II
not the first, to scale the wall, ana,
sword in hand, dashed along that
storm-swept rampant in advance OF all
his fellows to cut down the waving
flag of the enemy and reap the immor'
talitv of the deed. He was the 1lrst
TO reach the flag; his sword was raised
when he heard swift footsteps behind
him. He paused, turned, and saw MS
commanding 0fncer, 10 WHO'LL He was
tenderly attached and deeply obli-
gated.
"And then this gallant MISSISSIPPI
plan, without a moments nesltatlon
with the bow of n Chesterfield, low
cred his sword and with the point al
rest stood aside while his friend and
commanding officer cut down the nag
of Mexico and was bulletined for the
laurels of that splendid day.
In the history of battles there was
never more gallant, more chlvalrlc
deed than that. And the real hero OF
Chapultepec. manned and gray, but
glorious still. sits just beyond me here
tonight in the person of my noble and
beloved friend General William ).
Walker of Atlanta"
