RED CROSS WARRIOR,
HOW He Revenged Himself Upon a
Spanish Sharpshooter,


SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July ga
story Is being told here Of how one
member of the Red Cross CORPS re-
venged himself upon a Spanish sharp
shooter, who had been amusing him
self shooting at doctors and other non
combatants who come within range
This man was shot at several times
while passing particular spot near
the bloody bend,' at the ford of the
San Juan river. Finally he got tired
Taking the red cross from his arm
as sign of temporary resignation
from that branch Of the service, he
borrowed a Krag-Jorgensen from q
soldier as sign of enlistment az q
private. Then he diven into the under
prush near where the bullets had
crossed the road.
The ex-Red Cross man made his way
carefully along the ground. He knew
That discovery might mean unpleasant
conquences for him; so he exercised
every precaution. Finally his gaze was
arrested by movement in the branch
OF tree. His experience had taught
him that breeze always stirs the out
er leaves Of a tree first. The inner
twigs move later Yet here was a
shaking of a branch near the trunk,
while the outer leaves were quiet.
Close watch showed, too that the
branch, instead of swaying from side
to side, moved up and stayed there.
Soon a second branch was pressed
down and kept there. Then it was
clear just what was going on.
The Krag-Jorgensen was aimed in
careful fashion. It's report was follow
ed by the crash of heavy body
through the tree and to the ground.
There was no call for the marksman
to attend to any professional duties
there. He hurried back to the bloody
bend" gave back the rifle to it's own
er, pinned the red cross to his left
sleeve again and went on dressing
wounds

WASHINGTON, D. c., July ga
naval campaign against Cienfuegos,
with the object of taking that impor-
tant place, is under consideration by
the naval authorities, and a plan Of
operations is likely to be inaugurated
soon, unless peace negotiations serve
to prevent action. The government
thinks it well to keep the navy as busy
as possible, so that interest in the war
will not wane during the summer
months Cienfuegos is not as we'll de-
Tended as Santiago, but it's harbor has
much the same bottle shape.
1t Is probable that troops will par
ticipate in the movement if 1t is car
ried out, but immune regiments will
be sent to possess the place after it
has been taken.
Garrisons will also probably be es-
tablished at Nipe and several places
affording good harbors for warships
and relief vessels. Little difficulty will
be experienced, it is believed, in taking
a number of small towns along the
north and south coasts.

TOBACCO FOR CUBA,
American Tobacco Seeks "A Reduc-

WASHINGTON, July PA repre-
sentative of the American Tobacco
company had conference with the
treasurer of this city in regard to the
established customs ruling on tobacco
and cigarettes imported into Cuba. His
contention was that these articles
SHOULD be admitted either free or at
q nominal rate. The proposition sub
mltted was that the rate on tobacco be
fixed at not more than cents a pound
and at so cents a thousand on cigaret-
ties. The matter has been taken under
consideration and a decision probably
will be reached within a day or two.
The indications seem to be that the
rates will be reduced, but to what ex-
tent is not yet determined.
