FOR FREEDOM.
An English Bred Greyhound of Superior
Pedigree and Performances.

An English Bred Greyhound of Superior
Pedigree and Performances.
J. II. Rosseter' s English bred greyhound
For Freedom was bred by the celebrated
coursing men, Faucet brothers, who re-
side near Liverpool, and in whose kennels
were bred some of the most noted grey
hounds of recent years. For Freedom is
now about years old. He ran once in
England in a very large field of dogs in
the Altcar Produce Stakes and won first
money. He arrived here in March, 1898,
and the very next week, March 20, went
into an open stake in which were several
of the crack dogs of the state. He ''walk-
ed'' over them all with perfect ease and
won 1920. In another open stake the week
following he again spread eagled large
number of the very best dogs winning
S215. On May 1, in the Champion Stake,
he sent eight cracks to their kennels, win
ming $3.50. On June 10 in another cham
pion stake it was the same story, and he
won $3.50 more On July 8 in an open
stake he was again brought out and at the
end of the second day he stood a victor
over II others, winning $3.50.
His blood lines are singularly good, COM
bining all the great strains of the most
successful greyhounds of the British isles.
For Freedom is brindle dog well
splashed with white about the head and
neck, weighs about 81 pounds and has a
docile disposition. His speed is phenom

A Call For an Atlas.

An elderly lady, well dressed and with
an air of good breeding, stood in the post
office lobby and looked around 1rresOlute-
1y. She held an envelope in her hand, and
her helpless look attracted the attention of
a young woman.
''Are you looking for place to drop
your letter?' the young woman asked.
''Y yes" replied the lady.
''Here s the place, - said the young wom-
an, and she pointed to the slots LAX
east, " West and "City."
But still the lady hesitated.
''Thank you,'' she said.
She looked about her; then she leaned
forward toward the young woman and in
a low whisper asked:

WILL THE BOsTONs WIN AGAIN ?

=
ish-Changes In the New York and
Brooklyn Clubs Which Puzzle the Pub-
Hc-Work OF Individual Players.
While the race for the League pennant
seems to have narrowed down to four
clubs, those who picked the Bostons to
capture the flag for the second time feel
that they made a good selection. The Gin
cinnatis have stuck to the lead with a per
sistency which is particularly gratifying
to the followers of the game in the town
of pork and muddy water on the banks of
the Ohio. Still the Bean Eaters follow
along close behind in a position to take
the lead at the very first sign of weakness
by Buck Ewing's men. Baltimore and
Cleveland have logged the footsteps of
the champions, but the opinion seems to
be that the homeless Spiders will be the
first to break and fall back out of it. Te-
beau has a splendid team, and in a city
like New York or Brooklyn the players
would be little heroes.
While there is not much betting as a
general thing on baseball, especially in
the east, several heavy wagers have been
made recently regarding the finish in o.

TROOPS GOING TO CUBA.
Wisconsin Men to be Among the
First to invade the Block
AIDED Island.

Washington, D. c., May 9.-[Special.l
All Wisconsin troops will be ordered to-
day to move at once to Chickamaugl
There they will join nearly all the West
ern volunteers, and as Gen. Miles says
that $4,000 men are to be sent to Cuba
Immediately it is more than probable that
Wisconsin boys will be among first to en-
bark.
Great difficulty has been experienced in
securing suitable uniforms for the men,
but 1t is now asserted that enough canvas
blOuses have been furnished and forward
ed to the South to fit out the entire army.
The movement towards Cuba will be
followed at once by an expedition to the
Philippines. The men to go westward
will be drawn from the Pacific states al
most exclusively.
An official order was issued this after
noon ordering a Wisconsin regiment to
assemble at Chickamauga. The date f."
departure has not been fixed but proba
will be in day or two.
One Wisconsin infantry regiment has
been ordered to coast defense duty, which
practically means that it will be retained
as a reserve force and will assemble at
Washington.

RIOTS IN ITALY.
Soldiers Attack MODS in Various
Cities and Hundreds
Are Killed.
SeapOrtS.

Luguno, Switzerland, May 9.-Accord-
ing to the latest news received here from
Milan, Italy, the rising of the people there
appears to have been mastered. Rein
fOrcements of troops have been pouring
into the city all night long.
Trouble has occurred al Treviso, We
roma and Brescia.
There was renewal of the distur-
Dances at Milan last night, due to the ar
rival of mob of students from Pavia
armed with revOlvers. They attempted to
force an entrance into the city, but were
repulsed by detachment of Bersa gil, who
killed two of the students and wounded
four.
In parts of Milan resistance was most
desperate, whole streets were torn up by
the mob, not pane of glass is unbrOken,
all sides can be seen flames of fires and
wrecked furniture and other household
goods.
In fact those portions of the city are
practically sacked. The bodies of the killed
were generally piled in doorways and were
afterwards carried away by army wagons.
The hospitals, temporary and permanent,
are overfiowing.
1t is announced that work was resumed
this morning III the factories at Milan.
At Genzino, near Rome, the troops fired
on a mob. Two persons were killed and
many injured. A mob gathered at Pom
fedora, thirteen miles from Pisa, and
marched on the town hall, demanding
bread or work. They stoned the building
and refused to dispense when ordered to
do so. The troops fired a vOlley and killed
three persons and a number Of others

MANILA AND HAVANA.
Cabinet Decides Upon the Course
to be Taken with Regard
TO he oil
o the Capt. ais.

Washington, D. c., May 9-At today's
special cabinet meeting the leading sub
jects of discussion were the measures to
be taken to reinforce Admiral Dewey at
Manila and the probable movement on
Cuba.
AS to the former there has been ma
terlal change in the plans. Approximate
~ 1000 troops will be dispatched on the
CITY OF Picking and other transports. The
charleston will act as convoy. The Nc
Culloch has not yet left Mrs bay, out
side Hong Kong harbor, where she is
waiting further instructions to Admiral
Dewey, which will be sent probably today
or tomorrow.
In his cablegram received here Satur-
day, the admiral made no request for
troops, not knowing the governments in
tentlon IN regard to the occupation of the
islands. 1t seems quite certain, however,
that the government intends to make an
active campaign against the Spanish
forces there, and Admiral Dewey will be
so Informed. If possible the squadron
active work against the fortified tons
there except such as the admiral may find
necessary in order to retain control of
points now in his possession
On the arrival of the troops, which will
be immediately concentrated from the
racine coast states, 1t IS expected q
landing will be made at once and opera
tons begun to capture the city and re-
duce the remaining Notifications
In addition to the 5000 or 5000 troops,
the transports will also take out consid-
cradle cargo of supplies, including am
munition.
The Presiden tand members of his cabi-
net are now expecting important news
from Admiral SIMPSONS fleet which was
dispatched against Porto Rico. 1t is ex-
pected his victory will be as complete as
Admiral Dewey's at Manila, although it
IS hardly to be expected that the cOnse-
quences to his fleet will be as unimpor-
tant. No alarm is felt as to the where
abOuts of the Spanish fleet and it certain
ly is not expected that Admiral Sampson
will encounter them at Porto Rico.
As to the plans Of campaign in Cuba,
it is understood that there has been no
material change from those announced
some time ago. At the proper time, it is
expected, a landing with provisions and
munitions for the insurgents will be af-
fected at some easily accessible point, and
that an active campaign will then begin
in the rear as we'll as from the fleets in
the front of Havana ana other important
SeaDOrtS.

RESIST TO THE DEATH.
Orders Sent to the Spanish General
to Hold Manila at
Any Cost.

London, May 9.-It is announced today
in a special dispatch from Madrid that
the Spanish ministers of war and marine,
Gen. Correa and Admiral Bermejo, de-
clare they do not expect Manila to be at
tackled before the arrival of reinforce
ments for Rear-Admiral Dewey from the
United States.
The dispatch adds that orders have
been sent to Gen. August, the governor
general of the Philippine islands to re-
sist to the death any attack of Manila.
There was serious rioting at Linares,
twenty-three miles from Jaen yesterday.
The mob assembled in front of the town
hall and finding the doors locked, tore out
the windows, swarmed into the building
and threw everything movable into the
streets. The civil guards interviewed and
a desperate struggle followed in the
passages of the building. The rioters
were finally driven out by the civil
guards, who frequently fired into the
mob. Some of the rioters procured guns
and returned the fire.
Fourteen persons are said to have been
killed and about sixty wounded. The
local forces are not considered strong
enough to cope with the disturbance and
reinforcements of troops have been asked
for.
