CUBAN INGRATITUDE.
Daily Item.


The unsettled condition Of af-

cupidity and desire for political
preferment of insurgents leaders,
is q matter of infinite concern to
the people of this country. Our
promise to restore order and pro-
mote happiness in the gem of the
Antilles amounted almost to a
pledge. We undertook, in the
name IF humanity, to rescue he
oppressed Cubans from the s ate
of turmoil and discord to which

ROMANCE Or A WATCH.
A LOVERS GIFT THAT HE vAINLY
TRIED TO RECLAIM.

Our court column this week an
nounces the settlement, by judy
ment for the defendant, of q case
brought by j. F. Simon against
Valerin Simon, administrator. The
two lines do not do justice to the
case, which occupied by Judge
Medlenka's attention last Friday
afternoon.
Mr.. j. F. Simon is a prosperous
and progressive merchant at Das-
pit. He is young man not long
past his majority, and quite popu-
lar at his home. Mr.. Valerin ST.
mon is a neighboring planter, one
of whose valued possessions is a
charming daughter, Miss Colastie.
The story brought out at the
trial involves Miss Colastie and
Mr.. j. F. Simon, who is known to
many of his friends by his name
of Fergust.
Some time ago Mr.. Fergust ST.
mon became enamored of Miss
Colastie, and to testify the strength
of his attachment presented her
with handsome gold watch. Go
lastie, you are young" he explain
ed as he made the presentation
and though you love me now you
may see someone else you love
more and then change your mind
II am old, and my mind is made
up. I love You now and will SC
continue; wear it for me. If you
find someone you love better ii
you desire to sever the cords tina
bind us, return the watch to me
If, on the other hand, I desert you
for another, you are to keep th'
watch"
The proviso was acceptable t.
the young lady and she received
the watch, wearing it conspicuous
ly.
Mr.. Fergust Simon may hav
been bit of q flirt At any rat
he made love to another girl ant
married her, leaving poor Colasti
with only her watch to cousol
her.
: The suit brought later on wa
> for possession of the watch, sn,
was, of course brought against th
young lady's father, as she is no
yet of age. The reasons for brin
ging the suit can only be guessed
as the possessor of the watch ha'
a splendid case. It is surmise,
that Mrs. Simon objected to an,
young lady sporting 80 fine pre-
sent given by her husband, an
instigated the suit. Whatever ID
9 cause it effectually settled futur
Z disputes on the subject and Mis-
q Colastie can wear it undisturbeG

a prey to Spanish bullets, while
others were the victims OF insidi-
Gus and fatal tropical disease.
1t is rather CALLING to our sense
of pride to find the people for
whom we made such unparalleled
sacrifices seeking to embarrass our
agents and representatives in the
land of their nativity. No event
even remotely suggestive of insur-
rection was anticipated by us
when we assumed control of Eas-
tern Cuba. We certainly did not
expect the Cubans to injure q
cause for which they had probes
sed ardent devotion-the cause OF
liberty. Yet that is exactly what
has come to pass. Because Gen.
eral Wood, the military governor
of Santiago de Cuba, did not par
eel out the civil Offices in that pro-
vince to suit the Cuban tagrars
and bobtails, number of insur-
gent leaders have suddenly be-
come Bombastes Furlosos of the
most malignant type. Their deaf
ening clamor for recognition has
aroused even the ordinarily i'm
perturbable General Wood, and he
threatens to take summary mea-
sures to suppress the turbulence
if it is not soon quelled.
The dispatches this morning
give an idea of the gravity of the
, situation in Cuba. One report
says:
Gen. Wood and Col. Petit re-
gard the outlook as rather discou-
raging. Still, they hope that
{ some means may be found to
t break up the Cuban army. The
/. members of the rank and file are
1 anxious to go to work, but the
3 leaders refuse to allow them to do
SO, and the men do not dare de-
D sert as they would certainly be
! shot if captured.
: Gen. Wood is hoping that the
other towns he will visit on his
e trip around the province will moi
Q present the vexatious conditions
q as prevail here, where the Cuban
e problem is presented in o very
Q difficult form, the most difficult he
has ever yet encountered.
81 It was necessary to send de-
tachment of the Fourth Immune
Regiment, under a sergeant, t.
u the Rigara plantation in order tx
= compel the armed Cubaus to al
l. low men to work there. The I'M
dertaking. however, proved sue
cessful, and 200 men are now re
y gularly employed.
Il The latest advices from Ssntt
u Cruz del Sur, the meeting place o.
Z the Cuban Assembly, do not re
. port the arrival there of Gen. Ma
ximo Gomez, but there are persis
tent rumors that the friends O
Gomez, who are delegates to tn
Assembly, will endeavor to EN-
h barrass Gen. Calixto Garcia sn(
n his supporters.
y The Cubans have invented some
!. fimsy excuses for embarrassing
n their new allies, the Americans
it But it is plain that the motive un
n DERIVING this dangerous agitation
j. is characteristic greed for power

ban, if he were permitted to be
come 80, would develop into
f. tyrant much more aggressive ant
e dangerous than the Spaniard

The grand jury at Muncie has caused

ana Methodist conference, and ex-pastor
of Bourbon, Bluffton, Wabash and
Muncie churches, charging him with in-
human treatment of his horse
La the indictment the allegation Is
made that on Sept. z, Elder Wade's
horse kicked in the dashboard, and that
an hour later the enraged minister led
the horse back to the scene of the kick
ing, corner of Charles and High streets,
after having taken the horse home and
plated his tail for the occasion, tied its
head to within short distance of the
root of the tail, and, with head and tail
securely fastened together, administered
the whip in frightful manner. The
animal pranced around in circle until
exhausted and fell in faint. 1t was
placed on its feet and then went through
the same torture until men interfered
in behalf of the animal Indorsed on

Pensioners of Late War.

When Pension Commissioner Evans
visited the Soldiers home at Grand
Rapids, Mich. he made brief address
to the veterans and in speaking of
pensions, he said:
81 think the pension roll is now at its
height, and will probably never be
higher. There are now 993, ,314 pension
ers on the rolls and last year we paid
out total of Sl44,641 900 to the army
and navy departments. The pension
ers now on the rolls consist of five
widows and seven daughters of the rev
olution; three survivors of the war of
1872; 2,407 widows of the war of 1912;
10000 from the Mexican war; 100000
invalids of the war of the rebellion.
There have been about 600 claims for
pensions from the war with Spain filed
already"

Hess Scores n Victory.

Another chapter in the city attorney
scrspe was recorded at the council meet
ing Monday night, result ting in the oust-
ing of Lawyers Skunk and Hess and
the selection of Amasa Johnson Cor
this Sl75 job.
1t will be remembered that Attorney
Skunk took snap judgment on Attorney
Hess some time ago end got himself
appointed city attorney, majority of
the council voting that there was va
cancy. The truth of the matter is that
Judge II ess had apother year to serve
before the time for which he was ap-
pointed would have expired. However
aldermen Morris, Harris and Reynolds,
with the vote of the mayor, succeeded
in the selection of Skunk. Ever since
this selection both Hess and Skunk
have claimed that they were the city's
attorney. Skunk being recognized by a
majority of the council has felt per-
fectly secure, but Monday night Judge
Hess stole march on him.
AS a matter of legal right Hess has
had the advantage all the time and the
council was SO convinced.
Alderman Morris introduced q reso-
luton declaring the office of city at
torney vacant which was carried
They then proceeded to ballot for a
city attorney. Lawyers Hess, Parker,
Parks and Skunk each received votes
but none had majority. Judge Hess
then suggested Amasa Johnson as a
compromise. He received four votes
and was declared elected. Thus ends
the city attorney fight.
1t was as great surprise to Lawyer
Skunk as was given to Judge Hess a
few weeks ago. 1t is needless to add
that the air has been blue with wrath
Judge Hess, however, is real happy
He says that these youngsters in the pro
fession have to get up early when they
out-scheme him, and it looks as though
he was about right.
