Ol ulS W1uSS III d Charge against
Gomez, but Maceo falling on
the Spanish won the day for
Cuba and compelled Martinez
Campos to retire. The Captain
General hurriedly entered Ha-
vana, making preparations to
defend the city, and he confessed
his defeat to the astonished
Spanish volunteers and resi-
dents of the capital.
On the night of Dec. q the
Captain-General made that
avowal. A few days later. the
rabid Spaniards of the city com
PEELED him to tender his resig
nation to Madrid. They de-
manded from Canova a Captain
General, framed in the old iron
cast OF the Spanish conquerors,
not to fight battles and risk his
own life on the field, but to ex-
terminate the native popula
ton. In their belief, women
children, every one born in Gu
ba should be held responsible
for the situation. They did
not like soldier with a gallant
career and personal courage.
They wanted an executioner.
Canovas satisfied them and
appointed Don Valeriano
Weyler y Nicolau to succeed
Martinez Campos.
The question may be asked
why the patriots after so many
victories did not invest the city
of Havana and end there with
the Spanish dominion. The
answer is very clear. After the
battle of Coliseo Gen. Gomez
reviewed his troops and found
that each soldier had only three
cartridges. The Cubans in the
United States were making
vain efforts to send a big ex-
pedition to the patriots. A
hostile Administration checked
them. 1t the Spanish army was
defeated in the fields of Cuba
Spanish diplomacy was trium
phant at Washington. At Guira
de Nelena on an. 4. 1896, the
patriots had to fight with their
machetes to enter the province
of Havana. For such state of
affairs, Gen. Gomez considered
his best plan to be to organize
armies in all the provinces in
vaded, so far as his resources
permitted him to do, and try to
raise the war in Pinar del Rio
province. At CAIRO, on an. s,
the patriots routed a Spanish
column and entered Pinar del
Rio. Gen. Gomez then with
drew to the east, while NaCeo
proceeded to the west. On
Jan. 18th he obtained another
victory at the very gates of Pi-
mar del Rio city, and on Jan. %
he took the town of Banes at
the western extremity of the
Island, three months after his
departure from Baragua in
Santiago de Cuba.

That handle factory man who
was here from Stevens, Arkansas,
left for home on Saturday, fully
convinced that we had a Board of
Trade that did not trade much.
Mr.. HAYS tried hard to get meet
ing to meet this gentleman, as he
had a good trade to offer our city
in establishing a hard wood handle
factory here, but the members OF
the board would not harken aud
now the bird has flown. Mr.. Hays
saws he does not know whether the
gentleman will make another effort
to locate here or not. This is too
bad. The proposition was a fair
one and should have been taken up
in a half hours time. Here it Is re-
peated for the benefit of those who
have property here, and want to
see it increase in value and have a
monetary demand if offered on mar
ket. "If the citizens of TeXarka-
ma will present us with an acre of
ground on or near the State Line
south of the railroad, we will erect
hard wood handle factory at this
place and work fifteen hands and
guarantee to remain here ten years
or the lot and improvements shall
revert to the donors" Is there
ANYTHING fairer than this?

NAVAL IMPUDENCE.
The Humorous Expedient of an Eng
lish Naval Officer to Secure
Paint for His Ship,

Fifty years ago. the allowance of paint
in the British navy was very small, and
sometimes the officers had to pay large
sums in order that their ships might
maintain decent appearance. One of
themresorted to a humorous expedient,
either to soften the heart of the navy
board, or if that proved impossible, to
express his opinion.
Sir John Phillimore painted one side
of his old yellow frigate black and
white, and used the rest of the black
paint in printing on the other side, in
large letters: mo more paint"
The navy board wrote to call his at
tention to the improperly of his con-
duet, and signed themselves, as they
did, officially: "Your affectionate
friends.'
To this Sir John replied that he could
not obliterate the Objectionable letters
unless he was given more paint, and
signed himself, in turn; "Your affec-
tionate friend, John Phillimore."
The navy board then called his at
tention to the improperly of the sig
nature, to which Sir John replied, &C
knowledging the letter, stating that he
regretted that the paint had not been
sent, and ending:
II am no longer your affectionate
friend, John Phillimore.''
His frigate was allowed to retain her
original yellow; and perhaps the navy
board did right thus to punish Sir
Johns impertinence.-Youth's Com
