that he had just returned from the
summit of Ararat, beamed upon him

six Hundred Mules Recently Purchased
By Spain shipped to Cuba TO ne Used
BY American Soldiers.

New ORLEANS, May 4-The first en-.
petition carrying supplies for the
American army in Cuba sailed from
this port yesterday. Two Morgan line
steamers, the Whitney and Gussie,
slipped down the Mississippi river
carrying 600 mules, large quantities OF
hay, corn and all kin DIS of provender,
bound for Tampa under orders from
the United States government
These were the very same mules
taken from the two Spanish
steamers Miguel Jover and Cata-
lima by the New Orleans custom
officials two weeks ago and sold few
days later Mt public action In this city
by the Spanish agents who had been
foiled In their attempt TO get the ami
mails in Cuba for the Spanish army.
This Is one Of the shrewdest pieces OF
work yet done. These same fine, large
mules, every one n perfect speci-
men, were yesterday shipped to Cuba
for use OF the American army in place
of going to aid Blanco and the Span.
iards The mules originally came from
St. Louis and Kansas City. The sail
ing Of the two transport vessels means
that the animals will be in Cuba ready

nest the invitation may be. We might sit
out on the veranda from now till doomsday
and rise and bow and scrape at every one OF
'em that came along and ask 'em all in, but
never one OF 'em would stop. They might
want to come in, but nothing short OF actual
collaring would bring 'em in. The fact IS
that il we want fortune we've got to work
for il. =,
"Men have made fortunes, to be sure, with:
