to sleep in colored mans house When
the policeman appeared Moran went on
the street.

Extravaganza Of Handbills.
BY ". H HILL.

Walking along business stree. in
beautiful little city that is the cen
ter Of population in thickly inbabit
ed neighborhood, saw standing on
the corner a man He was old, un.
kept. had on dirty collar and shah
by hat There are many like him all
over the country, and if you met him
on lonely country road you would
call him tramp, and pass by on the
other side
Sluug across this tramp's shoulder
was satchel containing handbil|s,
advertising one of the city's stores.
l had always considered that store
respectable until l saw that tramp
With those handbils There be stood,
and while he handed out those bills
he was the representative of that
store. And what representative !
I spent ten minutes watching him,
and ip that time probably several
hundred people passed him. To each
be endeav ored to give bill Three
out of every FIVE refused the bills
and would not take them. the bal
ance accepted them to throw them IN
the street after they had passed him.
and not more than one really kept
the bills for longer than two minutes.
for as / followed the procession up
and down the street that whole block
was strewn with the bills
The business house putting out
those bills must be extravagant and
careless. Extravagsnt, because this
was the poorest kind of advertising,
throwing money in the street; and
careless, because they authorized
their representative to throw paper
into the street, which had to be
cleaned at the expense of taxpayers;
and if was member of that city
council or board, that business house
would pay fine for every bill
thrown
How much more business like,
economical, and sensible to have in,
serted the same advertisement in the
favorite family newspaper, which en-
ters the homes of all the people in
the city and it's suburbs The firm
would not make of itself public
nuisance, but would gain and hold
the respect oil the community.

Said to be Statement
of Garcia's Attitude.

Habapa, Oct. 14.-Cosmo de Ia
Torrieute, aide-de.camp and secretary
Of Gen. Cslixto Garcia, is quoted 10 an
interview as saying that the general
has not accepted any position from Gen.
Lawtou or the other American officials
that it is not true be is making a :our
Of the eastern part Of Cuba advising
the disbaoding of the Cuban army, and
that there is 90 truth in the statement
that Garcia is going to the United
States for the purpose of endeavoriug
to raise q loan, which be has nc
authority to do.
The aide-de- camp and secretary
further asserted that Garcia has DOT
deoied the legality of the actual revolu'
.ionary government of Cuba, DOR has
be accepted the supremacy of the
United States. But. it appears, Garcia
has aocf6oially expressed the opinion
that the present Cuban government.
owing to lack Of members aud person
mel, could not be considered legal, as a
quorum was impossible, aud, therefore,
its actions are unconstitutional.
Gen. Garcia, it seems from what his
secretary says. 10 all questions Of
authority at the present motion ooly
recognizes the general in-chief of the
Cuban army, though be recognises the
"traueisory government Of the Uo'ted
States as consequence of interven
tion Aud being commanded by the
revolutionary government to accept it
aud to cooperate With the American
army at Santiago he obeyed orders
Further. Gen Garcia is alleged to
advocate the '.closest union between
the Spaniards and the Cubans on the
island, forgetting the pas: and uniting
In every effort looking TO the establish
ment of dependence"
These statements arc considered
among the Spaniards here as indicating
Garcia's real attitude toward tue United
States and the future of Caoa.

The Board Says the Santiago
Naval Battle Was a s'Cap-

New York, Oct. I.-Although the
American feet in the battle of San
tiago on July 8 obeyed the general
orders Of Rear Admiral Sampson,
given in advance to meet just such
an emergency, it was essentially Q
Captains fight" This is the sub
stance Of the report of the board,
which has been investigating disput-
ed points il the battle.
Rear Admiral Sampson was not
present, and the two orders signalled
by Schley, ..closs in" sad "engage
the enemy" did no good, and were
unnecessary, for the ships had al-
ready closed in and were engaging
the enemy when the orders were run
up. The board finds in more gen
erai way that each ship in the feet
knew exactly what to do should Ger
vera come out, and did it when he
actually came out Each captain
fought his ship on plans prepared and
orders given by Sampson
The findings of the board are SUM
married. as follows

upon plans prepared by Rear Adm'-

The directing of the movements
of ships done by Schley during the
