HOUND BATTLES WITH A WOLF
Dog Comes TO the Rescue of COIora-
do Cow Herder in Nick
of Time.

A COW herder, Mike Sullivan, encoun-
tered a large gray wolf at Prospect
lake, near Colorado Springs, Col, the
other day while attending to his cat
tie. Armed only with a club, he pur-
sued it a short distance, when it turned
on him. He fourished his club, but the
beast snarled and refused to retreat.
The two were but a few feet apart. and
matters were getting quite serious for
the man. At this juncture a Russian
wolf hound appeared and fierce fight
followed.
The hound was shaken off and the
wolf escaped into the lake, but returned
TO shore soon, as the water was quite
cold. The fight between the wolf and
the hound was renewed. This time the
latter fastened onto his antagonists
neck and held it until a few well-di-
rected blows from a club ended the
struggle.

OFFERS HIMSELF AS A PRIZE.
Man Who Proposed to Queen VIII
helmina Arranges a Novel
Lottery.

The newspaper correspondent, Van
Westerhoven. who was committed to an
insane asylum for having approached
Queen Wilhelmina at the Central rail
way station and having written letters
to her majesty, asking for her hand IN
marriage, has had many strange hal
lucinations.
Letters have come to the police which
show that Van Westerhoven believed
himself to be the coveted prize of ali
the pretty girls of Amsterdam. To
make an end of this state of things h =
wrote letters TO business men who were
blessed with manageable daughters,
in which he evolved an ingenious solu-
ton to the difficulty. He wanted to
organize a lottery for his own hand.
All applicants for participation in
this lottery were TO present themselves
~ a certain rendezvous either alone or
chnperonel, and if the applicant suited
him he would give her number in the
lottery. The lottery would come OF
before Christmas and the lucky one
would become Mrs. Van Westerhoven.
The young man sent a card TO the queen
as well as to other young ladies.

ABANDONED BY HIS FIANCEE
Chaplain Mcintyre Dealt Another
Blow, This Time I'm the
Heart.

Rev. DR.. J. c. Mcintyre, the dismissed
navy chaplain, is suffering from an
other blow, if gossip at Denver says
true. He has not only lost his place in
the navy and in a certain sense his
honor, but he has also lost one of the
prettiest girls in New York.
This young lady, it is said, was soon
TO become the wife of the minister, but
as soon as he was found guilty by the
naval court-martial that tried him his
fair fiancee cancelled the engagement
and sailed away TO Paris, where she is
now said to be consoling herself with
new scenes. DR.. Mcintyre. so the story
goes. met the young woman in Wash
ington society. Her social position is
excellent, and she is independently
rich and in her own right. The friends
of the chaplain positively refuse to
give out the name of the young lady.
but il is said that she resides in one Of
New York's most fashionable quarters.
and that her relatives in Washington
are Of very high standing.

HOW DEWEY GOT HIS COAL.
Good Work Done by Naval Equip
ment Bureau Before the War
Had Begun.

Capt. Bradford, chief of the naval
equipment bureau, has been settling up
the heavy coal bills incurred during the
war and has adjusted most of them.
Some realization of the forethought
and discretion exhibited by the equip
ment bureau may be had from state
ment of the fact that weeks before the
declaration of war it had a number of
sailing ships quietly creeping toward
Asia laden with coal and with nothing
to indicate that they were carrying it
TO Dewey or to render them liable 10
seizure or detention by the enemy or
some severe neutral power.
Immediately upon the declaration of
war a number of steamers were hurried
along with more coal, and in conse-
quence Dewey found himself In possess
sion of no less than 10000 tons of the
best American coal to fight his battles

FAVORS CAPITALISTS.
Special Privileges Conferred Upon
New Companies i'm Mexico Accord
ing to a New Bill.

The congress of Mexico has received
d new bill from the department of en-
enlargement of great Interest to Amer
lean investors in Mexico. 1t is in sub
stance the same as the present law
regulating special privileges to new
companies, and provides for granting
franchises for from five TO ten years
according to the Importance of the
business and the capital invested. 1t
is provided that companies organized
under this law shall be relieved from
federal taxation during the life of the
privilege, and that the material re-
quired in new industries shall be i'm
ported free of duty. The old law made
$250,O0O the minimum amount of CAPT
tai required to enjoy those immuni-
ties, but the new law reduces the
amount to 100000.

WANTS A BIG LOAN.
Cuban Government Will Ask United
States for $50, 900, 900.
Money Is Needed tn Set the Men of
the Disbanded Array ON Their
Feet and to Get the Farms
I'm shape.

Capt. Justo Garcia, the son of Gen.
was passenger on the United States
transport Berlin, which arrived from
Santiago de Cuba the other day, said
in aRfnteryiew:
I'VE are being confronted by several
very serious conditions. The chief one
is the disbanding of our troops, and the
convention now in session at Santa
Cruz is trying TO solve the question.
This convention has one great object
in view, and that is TO disband the
troops, which now comprise about 3d.
600 men, and 10 secure work for these
men.
The assembly proposes to appoint
a commission TO consult with the gov
eminent officers at Washington as TO
the best way of disbanding When that
is accomplished. the commission will
endeavor TO raise sum of money TO be
divided among these men, SO that they
can reestablish their farms. To do this,
il would take at least $50, 10000 600. Over
lures will be made to the United States
to advance sthis sum 10 the Cuban gov
eminent ~ soon as it is formed and our
government will be the security. II
the United States government does
not care to advance such n sum, the
commission will try TO form syndicate
of American capitalists to advance the
money.
"All the Cubans feel that the United
States will give them absolute indie
pendence, but before doing that the
United States should occupy every part
of the island. Personally. / believe in a
government similar TO that of the
United States. That is the land that
fought for us. and is the land we intend
to favor in every way. I do not think
my father would accept the presidency
of the new republic. He has worked
increasingly for over 30 years to estab-
lish the freedom of Cuba. and when
that has been accomplished finally and
forever he intends to take rest"

GEN. SKATERS VIEWS.
Declares That He IL Totally Opposed
to Woman Suffrage"-Thinks
Politics Belongs to Men.

The meeting of the State Federation
of Woman's Clubs in New York city
gave local paper the idea of interview
ing Gen. Shafter, who is at Governors
Island, on woman suffrage. The gen
eral said:
Il am totally opposed to woman suf-
frage-decidedly and totally opposed
to it. ! think that the men look after
the women and they are the ones to
attend to political affairs. 1t is not a
question of lack of competency, but 1
think that on general principles women
ought to keep out of politics, and, in
deed, some men as we'll / have voted
but once in 30 years, and have no desire
to do so. | never discuss politics, but
do not hesitate to express my opinion
on this"
