BLANCO BOWED DOWN.
Captain General Preparing to Leave
Cuba.

Havana, Sept. S.-Captain General
Blanco is preparing to leave Cuba for
Madrid, and before another three
weeks have passed the captain gem
eral will have left forever the queen
of the Antilles. He would have left
days ago had he not received orders to
remain in Havana until after the COM
mlslsonerS who are to formulate the
details for The evacuation of Cuba by
the Spanish troops have convened. He
cbeyed this command with all grace
He felt that he was being subjected to
humiliation which he had sworn never
to suffer, but nevertheless he is still
here.
No one could be more Inundated
than was Blanco. The reason is that he
boosted rashly. and his boasts are
weapons with which his enemies here
are dealing him the most unkind cuts.
Even his friends who trusted most in
his declarations that the Yankee pigs"
should W. enter Havana as conquer
ors are ~upbraiding him.
But Blanco bears his reverses and
those of his country like a man. Like
all of the captain generals who have
held sway owe Cuba and returned to
Spain, Blanco does not return to his
country with his baggage alone. His
administration, although short and
stormy, has been remunerative.

Junior member Of the firm, commanded
him to send for his cashier. Frank
Moseley.
Upon the appearance OF Moseley,
MacFarland drew another revolver
and ordered the cashier to draw a check
in his favor for $1O,416, which he claim
ed he firm owed him. When the cash
Ter had finished making out the check
MacFarland camly instructed New
grass, at the same time giving a men,
acing flourish OF his weapons to afix
his signature To the paper. That done,
the man from East St. Louis lined the
two frightened men up against the wall
Of the office and with all the solemnity
Of a judge at the bar administered an
oath to them, to the effect that they
would not attempt 10 follow him or
raise any cutlery. He then departed,
after slowing his ~revolvers and the
check in his pockets.
AS soon as the visitor had left the
Office. however, Moseley and Newgrass
telephoned the police headquarters
what had happened. The check was
drawn on the National Live Stock
bank. and Captain Lavine Immediately
dispatched two detectives to the bank.
Mcfarland was standing at the CASH
ier's window when the officers entered.
He was 50 intent upon exchanging the
paper for currency tirat he failed to
notice the detectives until they stood
nj at each elbow and seized him.
Mcfarland was quickly disarmed and
a few minutes later was behind the
bars OF a cell at the police station.
The $10,416 which MacFarland had
attempted to collect by intimidating
Newgrass and Mosebey Is said to be the
amount due MacFarland in conse-
quenoe of a sale of horses t. tine De
-Four Commission company. The trans
action rs said to have taken place some
time ago, when the time was set for
the payment Of the money fifteen days
after the delivery Of the stock. Later,
it is claimed, the time Of payment was
cut down to five days, ~whereupon the
De Four Commission company trans
ferred it's interests in the deal to New
gras & Sen. MacFarland feared he
would come out loser in the transfer
and chose summary tactics to get even.

TURKS DID THE BUTCHERY.
Three Hundred Christians Killed and
Seven Hundred Missing.

Athens, Sept. S.-The following dis.
patch, dated at 8 o'clock this evening
has been received from Gambia:
1.-THE Bashi Bazouks are committing
excuses and the Christians in the sur
rounding districts are arming to march
to the assistance of the Canadians.
There are eight warships in the
harbor, and a fresh bombardment is
expected.
1.-THE British, German and Spanish
consulates have been looted, and thus
far 300 native Christians and sixty
seven British subjects have been kill
ed"
The Asty says it learns from an au-
thentic source that as soon as the Brit
ish troops arrive at Gambia from Malta
the Turkish garrison in Gambia will
be expelled, martial law proclaimed
and the ringleaders OF the rror put on
trial and publicly hanged If guilty.
According to a dispatch from CANDIDA,
sent late this evening. the admirars of
the International feet have decided to
compel the disarming of the Basht
Bazouks and the surrender Of the in
stfgators Of the disorder.
Oanea, Island of Crete, Sept. 8.-The
president of the Cretan executive COM
mittee has notified the foreign admirals
that in view OF the massacre ait
Gambia, 1t Is impossible to continue the
effort Ito organize an administration
until the Turkish functionaries and
troops are withdrawn.
The refugees tell ghastly stories Of
massacres. They report THAT no fewer
than 700 Christians are miss
ing. Several attempts we're made last
night to set on fire the Office of the
Eastern Telegraph company. 1t has
been a~scertaaned that all the houses
overlooking the British camp were
hopholed for rifle fire and b~arricaded.
Every Christian survivor of the mas
sacre swears that the butchery was
mostly the work OF Turkish soldiers,
who first robbed and then slew their
victims.

New York, Sept. s.-The Tribune

for the first time that such an Alliance
had been made. Dispatches from Eng

Moreover, while not stating It in 30

Gypsy Dancing Girls OF sey.i;e.

think they can ''sit it OUT the archaic
versions which are danced naturally to-
day, as they were in the days of the
Caesars, by light lilmbed enchaincrs of
hearts and flamenco girls with brown
skins and checks that are soft like the
side Of the peach which is turned to the
ripening sun, and in their dark, lus-
trous eyes you read as plain MS print the
story OF the sorrOws and the Joys Of .
thousand years of living.
Now they dance about with the grace
Of houris, the abandon of m;pnads or of
nymphs before Actaon pceped, and
now, when the dance is over, the mo.
ment of madness past, they cover their
feet with shawls, that you may not see
how dainty they are, and withdraw &c.
dately and sad from the merry circle
and sit for hours under the banana trees,
grooming softly some mournful cuplet in
the crooked gypsy tongue.

ASKS An INQUIRY
SECRETARY ALGER WANTS THE
CONDUCT OF WAR DEPART
MENT INVESTIGATED.
Many Sensational Stories Afioat, but
No Charges Of a Definite Charac-
the Matter Under Amusement and
Will Consult the Cabinet.

Washington, D. c, Sept. 8.-Secre.
tary Alger has requested THE presidenc
to order a Thorough and searching in.
vestigation of the war department. In
this request the secretary has beer
Joined by Adjutant General Corbin.
No decision has been reached yet by
the president as to what course he will
pursue. He has the request Of Secre-
tary Alger under consideration, bul
has not yet determined whether he will
grant it or NOT.
Secretary Alger had a long confer
enoe with the president tonight before
leaving the city, and impressed upon
him his earnest desire that an inves-
tigadon such IS he had requested be
ordered. The question was very thor
oughly discussed in all Of its phases.
Secretary Wilson participated in the
conference and General Corbin was
present during a greater part Of the
time.
1t seems now not unlikely that the
investigation will be ordered, burt it Is
the wish of the president further to
consider the matter before announcing
a definite policy.
The question probably will receive
consideration at the cabinet meeting
tomorrow. While all the cobinet men,
bers are net in the 6ry, Secretaries AL
ger and Long and Attorney General
Griggs being among those who will not
be present at tomorruw's meeting. it Is
said to be the wish Of the president to
take up the whole subject with those
Of his advisers who may be there.
Should the investigation be ordered,
it will include. probably, all matters re-
lating to the conduct Of the war, so far
as they c aihe war department
Secretary Alger expresses himself as
confident that such an investigation,
il conducted promptly and thoroughly,
will result in much godd.:
Such an investigation as has been re-
quested is, 1t is pointed out, beset with
some difficulties. No charges of a def
mite character have been filed by any
responsible person or official. Sensa-
tional stories and rumors for which the
administration has present knowledge
THAT There is NO foundation have been
circulated, and objection is madeto dig
nlfying them by the ordering of an i'm
vestigation. By those who desire and
advocate the investigation 1t Is main
tanned 1t can do no possible harm and
may be OF possible benefit in clearing
away manifest error from the minds OF
many people, and in placing the blame,
II any is to be placed, where 1t right
fully belongs.
Secretary Alger, accompanied by
Mrs. Alger; his son, Captain Fred AL
ger; Major Hopkins. his aid, and
Quartermaster General Ludington, left
Washington at 10: 40 tonight for Mid
dlatown, Pa. The secretary will spend
the forenoon tomorrow in an inspec-
ton Of the camp at Mfddetown, and
will then proceed OF his way to De-
troit, where he will leave Mrs. Alger
and his son, who is still i'll from the
fever following his service at Santiago.
The secretary will then proceed to
make an Investigation Of a number Of
army camps. going as far as Jackson

An Effective Illustration.

There are two Washington girls who were
not only ardent believers in protection-in
the shape of the Dineley bill-but had the
courage of their convictions, by which they
profited. Believing McKinley's election
meant protection and consequently higher
prices for wool, last November they invested
S1,s40 in a band of sheep. A protective
tariff law was enacted, prices of wool ad-
vanced, and the girls pro6ted by their faith
and good business judgment, selling So, 1926
worth of wool this ye ar, and receiving S.
22O for their sheep, net profit of 5000 on
an investment of $1,s40 year ago. This
is only small Illustration of the benefits of
the tariff law to the farmers of this country,
but it is plain and near at home, therefore
more effective. Tacoma Ledger.
