Indignantly repudiated Il suggestion of
kinship with the Governor General. He
says he is loyal Cuban and escaped to
avoid the necessity of fighting against
his cause, as every male in the island
who is able to bear arms is being press

in small boat. The United States gun
boat Bancroft was stationed six miles

at him when he was observed passing
beyond the prescribed limits. The Ban
croft transferred him to another vessel
and he was brought here where the
local Junta will care for him. The sailors
of two American ships made up II liberal
money subscription for him and gave
him some new clothing.

country 200 men, women and children
from Bessarabia. in Southern Russia
and called Mennonites. They were the
most picturesque colony that have ar

They were nearly all farmers, and the

Gently, however, the Russian laws have

The policy of the administration to-
ward Cuba is said to have been decided,
and the rupture with Spain will prob
ably be brought about by the recogni-
ton of the Cubans as independent.
This will no doubt have the effect of
freeing Cuba, and may possibly draw
the United States into a war with Spain.
But it is the policy which every dictate
of humanity declares to be the right
one. The United States has up to this
time maintained an absolute neutrality,
and given Spain every opportunity to
suppress the rebellion of the Cubans.
Further to permit SPANS efforts would
be far from justice, on the part of the
United States.

III relation to the power of the twelve

Two sixty-ton locomotives attached to
twelve freight cars moving upon a
straight, level track at the rate of sixty
miles an hour would strike a solid OBJ
stacle with less than 80 per cent Of the

The rate wal to the coast grows more
bitter and the 500 now threatens to in
augurate a S. rate to the coast. If this
is done it will be promptly met by
the other roads, who are then in favor of
putting the price of a coast ticket down
too so cents, to bring the matter to a
termination more speedily. In the
meantime travellers who want to see the
coast country find the opportunity
excellent, although it may be some are
waiting to see which of the railroads
will be the first to pay passengers to

Special Council Meeting

A special meeting of the c ty council
was called Friday evening by a or Pat

he city attorney take the proper steps
to at once obtain a lease from tine gov
ernment for Sibley Island, ccorHing. to

A motion was also carried that the

criminal proceedings against any aitizens
who have cut timber on the island this
winter, as those who may have cut
believed thas they had the right No cut
what wood they needed for their private

After this meeting City Attorney
Allen wrote letters toihe u. S. Attorney

agent Lounberry informing til NJ OF the
proceedings taken by the city authori les
and requested that no criminal proceed
ings be taken, the parties being repnt-
able citizens and under the impression
that they had the right to take the wood

1t is to be hoped that the matter will
be dropped and we feel assured the

Howard is Back.

Fl. II. Howard, the Emmons county
school teacher who is wanted for selling
a forged school district order for some
$40 is in the county Jail awaiting trial,
having been brought back to the city
by Sheriff Taylor who arrested him at
Frazee, Mimi. Howard in some way
got wind of the fact that the officers of
the law were after him, and came near
escaping from them. It seems he saw
the sheriff of the county in which he
was, receive a telegram and suspected
what was. coming. The sheriff, after he
had been advised that Howard was
wanted, saw him enter the postofice
and waited for him to come out, in
order to arrest him. But Howard did
not come out, but passed out the back
way, and started for the woods. He
might have escaped, but he stopped at
a house along the road for something to
eat and while there the officers came up
on him and arrested him. The ofense
with which he is charged is a felony,
and if he is found guilty a penitentiary
sentence will await him.
Howard was arraigned before Justice
Tibbils this morning and waived ex-
animation and was held to the action of
the district court in $1,000 bail, in
default of which he will go to Jail.
The hearing of Bert Sepperley was
also held before Justice Tibbjls this
morning and he was held to the district
court in $1,000 bail on the charge of
adultery.

Mrs. Custer's Letter.

A special telegram from Monroe,
Mich, gives the text of a letter written
by Mrs. Elizabeth Custer, in reply to a
criticism made by Col. r. P. Hughes
upon the military record of General
Custer in connection with the Custer
massacre. AS all matters in this con-
nection are of interest to the people of
the city of Bismarck and vicinity, the
text of the letter is given as follows:
I have been repeatedly requested to
answer in detail the article of Col. r.
p. Hughes, which appeared in the
Journal of the military service institu-
ton, in January 1896, in which General
Custer is accused of d%isobeying orders
at the battle Of the Little Big Horn,
where he lost his life.
Believing that such reply would
prolong an improbable and an incon-
elusive discussion of many matters
which are not pertinent to the one CEN
trail question, I deem it best to submit a
portion of a letter written me by an Off
Ger who held the closest personal and
official relations with General Custer
during the civil war. After indorsing
strongly the opinion of distinguished
officer that "the keynote of the maya
zine article was lacking in the fact that
no order was produced as evidence to
sustain his CHARGE he further adds:

WHATEVER may have been said of
President Mckinley by his political
enemies, it is certain that there is no
public man who possesses to a greater
extent the confidence of all the people.
There is no other country in the world
where the political enemies of the ruler
would SO quickly submerge their parti-
san considerations, and place such an
immense sum rs $50, 100000 at the alb
solute disposal of the executive. Nor
would it be done in this country unless,
down in their hearts, the opponents of
the president knew that he is to be re.
lied upon to do what is best for the
country and maintain its honor. The
attitude of the president all through
this Spanish crisis has earned him the
gratitude and support of every true
American.
