WILL O|SBAND THE CUBANS
NO PAY FOR THE INSURGENTS.
With the Spanish Army out of Cuba.
There Is No Reason for the Gu
bans to Remain Under Arms-A
Plan for Future Payment.

Chicago, Aug. pa Washington dis
patch to the Inter Ocean says:
President Mckinley and the members
OF his cabinet are unanimous in the deter
mination that one of the first official acts
toward bringing about restoration of
peace and order in Cuba shall be the dis.
bandment of the Cuban army. AS there
Is no longer a Spanish army in the field
IN Cuba, there is no longer any reason for
the existence of the Cuban army. and it
IS therefore to be regularly mustered out
OF service. The government has no idea,
however, of adopting the quixotic idea of
paying the Cuban soldiers for their SER
vices during the war or assuming the re-
sponsibility for their payment. If the
idea were not in itself altogether fanci-
tul one, there are at least three good rea-
sons why, in the opinion of the president.
it would not be wise to adopt it,:
l. The United States would not under
any circumstances be justified in paying
a debt it does not owe.
2 There is no appropriation out of
which such payment could be made, and
1T would be necessary for congress to first
appropriate the money.
3. To place such large sum of money
as would be required in the hands of the
destitute and impoverished rank and file
OF the insurgent army would result in
their utter generalization and be respon-
sible for all sorts of disorders.
Plan for Payment
The nresident hac boravar = IL. =:
mind by which the insurgent army can
be disbanded without the necessity of
turning the soldiers adrift with no sort of
recognition of their services. The plan
contemplates the granting of an honor
able discharge to each soldier, accom-
panied by certificate of service and A
promissory obligation, signed by the Gu
ban general in chief, to be made good out
OF the public resources when the Cubans
shall have established the stable govern
ment which the United States has pledged
itself to help bring into existence.
In addition to thus providing for the
soldiers of the Cuban army, the plan UNI
der consideration by the president con-
templates the mastering into the United
States volunteer army of large number
OF Cuban soldiers who are American citi-
zens. Their services could be used to good
advantage as members of the various inn
mune regiments to be maintained on gar
rison duty in Cuba.
The plan above outlined has the APP
proval of some of the highest officers of
the Cuban army, and is likely to be put
into operation very soon

BUILDING OUTDOOR FIRES.
Seasonable Suggestions for Pros
pective Campers.

The camping out days have come and
the person who can make good fire UNI
der disadvantages has proud position
and is likely to be the star of the camp.
There is a widespread idea that it takes
deep occult lore to build a good camp
fire in the rain, knowledge that must be
learned from gypsies or Indians. Gyp-
sizes and Indians know how to do it, but
there is nothing mysterious in the accom-
plishment. Any one can learn it. To
begin with, you must learn to keep your
matches dry-and before that, to be sure
you have matches. Leather match cases
are likely to let the matches get damp:
carry metal one. Then always make
habit of having some old newspaper in
your best protected pocket. You can
get on without it, but it is good wood
craft to do things the easiest way, and
the paper makes firebuilding easy. Sc
lect place for the fire where it won't set
either timber or tents ablaze.
Clear the ground around it of infam-
mable trash; few stones roughly piled
up between it and the wind will often
save more time than it takes to gather
and place them.
If everything is soaking look for a
fallen tree or an old stump; shave off the
surface at one spot and then you can get
good dry splinters from the old wood be-
Meath; often little "grubbing" in the
stump or underneath the log will bring
forth handful of good dry wood with
out any use of the knife. Gather dead
twigs from the trees, not from the
ground; build your pile with care; hurry
makes worry here and it is to be hoped
you wear a broad hat so that you can
protect the infant blaze from untimely
breezes with it.

Palermo thu Beautiful,

The origin of the beautiful city Of
Palermo is lost in antiquity, but as
regards the Saracens taking it, ro-
mantle tale is told. There was wom-
IN at the bottom of it. A Byzantine
general was one day passing through
the streets of Palermo when he saw a
beautiful nun looking down at him
from her balcony window, whereupon
he Immediately fell in love with her.
Love laughs at locksmiths, so the nun
stepped out of her window that night
on an impromptu ladder and had just
reached her lovers arms when a friar,
returning late, discovered her. The
power of the church was not to be
triAed with, and the general was SEN
fenced to be fogged through the
streets, the nun being compelled to
stand at her grating and watch the
degradation. By the aid of his fellow
officers, the general ventured a most
hazardous escape. The keeper OF the
prison was poisoned before midnight,
and the keys obtained. The prisoner
then swan out into the bay and float
ed until a fishing boat took him up
and for a heavy bribe put him on
board a vessel bound for Africa.
Once there, he instigated tho Moham-
medans to an easy conquest of Sicily;
and they ruled the island with vigor
for 200 years. enriching its cities with
beautiful palaces. Tradition does not
say that he found his sweetheart, but
it is to be hoped that he did, after ell
he had gone through for her sake.
