THE FLAG AT SANTIAGO.
A Suddenly Arising Breeze Made II
Wave Vigorously Gen.
Garcia's Wishes.
N. Y. Tribune,

Rev. DR.. Joseph Krauskopf, rabbi of
Temple keneseth Israel. who returned
to the city recently from his trip to
Cuba on relief commission work, said
that one reason for Skaters disagree
ment with Garcia was that the latter
wanted the Cuban flag raised beside the
stars and stripes over Santiago.
DR.. Krauskopf, during his stay in
Cuba, came into personal contact with
Gems. Shafter and Wheeler Col. Roose-
welt and other prominent actors in the
war drama. From Gen. Shafter he
learned the true reasons of Garcia's at
titude after the fall of Santiago.
"Gen. Garcia" he says, when invited
to be present at the entrance of the
victorious army into Santiago, made
two conditions on which his acceptance
of tie invitation depended. One was
that the Cuban flag be raised together
with the American, and the other that
the Spanish officials be superseded.
Seen. Shafter replied that he had no
authority to recognize the symbol Of
the Cuban republic in any way, and
that the supersedure of the Spanish
officials would be contrary to the re-
ceived practice in the case of captured
towns. The matter gave rise to heat
ed controversy, which ended in Garcia
separating himself from the American
forces and withdrawing into the in
terror. The supposition at American
headquarters was that he meant TO
withdraw himself from the territory un-
der American control and try his own
luek at conquest"

The Great Samoan Hurricane.

In the harbor at Apia were anchored
the United States steamers Trenton,
Vandalia and Nipsic, the British war
vessel Calliope, and the German men
of-war Olga, Adler and Eber, with
quite a number of merchant vessels.
OF all these, the Calliope was the only
one to escape uninjured, and she was
saved only by her powerful engines,
which enabled her, when she Slipped

hanging for awhile in terrible suspense,
to slowly force her way out of the har-
Dor into the open sea, in the teeth of

their dire extremity, with the gener-
osity characteristic of the sailor at all
times, they found time to applaud this
plucky attempt. The Adler was cap

CHALLENGED THE PROFESSOR.
A Berlin Student who Fails to Pass
Examinations Desires to Fight
with His Teacher.

A new terror would be added to the
life of the German professor if many
people followed the example of stu
dent named Hans Won Flemming, who
has just appeared before the Berlin
courts to answer to charge of chal-
lenging the president of the senate of
Berlin university to duel.
Herr Won Flemming recently ap-
peared for examination before the law
faculty in Berlin. At the oral eXami-
nation he failed to satisfy the exami-
ners and was told he had failed. On
hearing this he laughed derisively,
gathered together his papers, and,
without saluting his professors,
walked out of the. hall, noisily banging
the door.
The following day he called on DR..
Going, the president of the senate,
and asked his permission to address
petition to the minister of justice to
get his examination reheard. This
DR.. Going, in view of his rude behavior
at the examination, refused 10 accord.
Herr Won Flemming denied that he had
behaved rudely, to which DR.. Going
replied: "You can deny it as much as
you like, but tell you no well-bred
man would have behaved as you did"
This reply the student regarded as
an insult, and sent his cousin, an Off
Ger, to demand its withdrawal. On
this being refused he challenged DR..
Going to mortal combat. The latter,
who saw that if he fought duels with
every student who failed in his ex-
animation he would have his hands
full, promptly refused and informed
the police:
As result Herr Hans Won Flemming
will have four months of seclusion in
a German fortress in which to medi-
tate over the inefficiency of dueling as
means of acquiring legal degree

The sultan of Turkey is always seen
attired in pale brown garments; the
emperor of Austria affects gray. The
German emperor has what may be
called a loud taste in clothes, and il

DON'T SELL THE LAND.

The citizens of the five tribes in
this territory who are soon to re-
ceive in fee simple title to the land
due them from the common hold
ings should have the lesson OF the
importance of keeping their land,
deeply impressed upon them. The
present generation will see land
so scarce and SO high in price that
comparatively few people will own
their own homes. Productive land
will be SO high in price as to be
practically out of the reach OF the
masses. When the land of this
nation is allotted and title made to
the individual every indian should
resolve to keep the greater portion
and not sell it at any price that
could legitimately be offered.
In the years to come no one will
stand higher than the man who
owns the land. There will be a
thousand inducements to sell.
Money will be plentiful to offer at
low rates of interest with land for
security.
The value of land does not de-
pend altogether upon the cultiva-
ton; it will depend upon the
millions to be supported by it.
The family that dwells upon
their own soil can put up with few
er OF the luxuries of life and still
be better off than those who do not
own the earth upon which they
domicile.
AS the population OF the country
increases the value of the land
climbs higher. The change is al
most imperceptiole, but it is sure
and safe and the advance is going
on. In the vicissitudes of bus
iness life, and the rapid changes
of time and,circumstances, the man
who owns considerable piece OF
land is the only individual who
can stand any kind of adversely
and be saved from absolute disas-
ter. If there is one hing above
another that the writer would i'm
press upon the Cherokees who are
soon to own their own land it is to
keep il at all hazards. Let every
Cherokee family select and secure
land enough for comfortable
home and for generations to come
they will be sure of a competence.
The great surging landless,
homeless. .discontented masses that
sweep back and forth over this
country, aimless and hopeless, are
a type of what our own people
will be if they are foolish enough
to give up their land.

Haste in producing fairness destroys
the appetite and disturbs digestion,
and nature takes this method of
giving the organs needed rest.
The best Western corn weighs

the result of too poor feeding, with
domestic animals, aud not of eating
too often nor too much. The first

At the close Of harvest there is
much cleaning to be done in the
fields; buy a flock of sheep for the
purpose, and raise a crop of lambs
for the spring market; then fatten
and sell the sheep and net a good
100 per cent. profit during the year.

not have much beyond collection

carried profltably if one has
a good store of straw, hay and grain
which did not cost too much.
The eve lambs will pay farmer
the cost in one year of good ram
which cost forty or fifty dollars, and
then the male lambs which go to

Dairy.

Even the best COWS need a rest,
and will give more milk and max g
more butter in 10 months, after rest
ing two, than If MIXED continu-
ously. This is not so important in
the family COW, perhaps, but where
we are counting on the dairy profits
it will be we'll to try the experiment.
1t is true that COWS may be fed
cheaply through the winter on straw
and poorly cured corn fodder; but to
keep in the line of production we
must feed literally. Either they
will pay for their keeping and leave
margin of profit, or will be out the
cost of their keep, whatever that
may be.
Fine favored butter can not be
made from filthy stables, nor from
milk set in cook room, nor from
cream which is too sour, nor when
worked over in buttermilk and salt
ed with lime salt; and yet more
than half our butter is made in this
way. No wonder it does not pay.
If one makes it a rule to curry and
brush his COWS every morning he is
pretty sure to give them clean beds
In order to lessen his labor. This
rubbing will take the place of exer-
else, and gives them a new feeling
and new zest. The results are no
ticeable and profitable.
