should have been any delay III this
matter for 50 long.
Now that date has been fixed, it
will be sturdily adhered to.and the
scoundrels who have been r0bbing
this sorely oppressed people will he
bounced at the time set.
No wonder the thieves should
howl and squirm when their grip
has been l0osened from the public
teat at which they lave fattened SO
long.

He's the Kind We Like.

Capt. Brooks, Of the U. s. Army,
was ordered by the American Conn.,
mission now in session in Havana to
go to Maestransea and make COM
plete notes of the war material being
taken away from the arsenal and
Notifications by the Span ish.
AS soon as his presence and pur-
pose were known the Spanish COM
mander ordered him out. He re-
fused. The Lieut.. Colonel Of the
Spanish came and ordered him to
stop making notes and leave the
place under pain Of arrest.
Brooks replied that he was under
orders from the American COM
mander; did not recognize any other
authority; would continue his work
until complete; and would only re-
port to his superior officers, and de-
fled arrest at the peril of the man
who attempted 1t.
He finished his work in due time,
although followed around by g
crowd of Spanish soldiers and citi
zens, and took his notes to the Com
mission.
Capt. Gen. Blanco sent for the
Lieut.. Colonel and berated him in {
lively manner for not arrestinG
Brooks and taking his notes.
Wouldn't there have been lively
scene just about the time they at
tempted Brooks arrest?
He is the kind of man we wan
kept right there until this mix vi
is over and Spain kicked out.
