MICE, GENTLEMANLY DRUNK
Is a Phrase which III Reno's Bibu-
Ious Have Long Awaited

FL Reno, o. T., Dec. 23.-CSpeoial.)-
Judge Tarsney is letting up little on mis-
divorce trade. Since the opening of court
he has granted divorces in three cases,
all aggravated, and denied one. Mrs. Gil
lett, a carpenters wife, sued for a, divorce
from iler husband on the grounds of habit
ual drunkenness. When the lawyers, Bob
Forrest and Marsh, got through asking
questions his honor took a hand, and
found out that Gillett had been known
TO refuse a drink on several occasions.
That seHled it. ''for." said his honor, 'if
a man gets on a gentlemanly drunk once
in a while he cannot be called an habit
ual drunkard, and a man who is right
dry and refuses nice soothing drink can
not be an dlabitual drunkard. according
to the law in such case made and pro-
vided-" Divorce was denied on the ground
that sufficient evidence had not been pro-
duced. Gentlemanly drunks are all the
go in FL Reno, to date from December
%, 1898.

it appears from the nature of the force
so far under orders to rendezvous at
Hampton Roads that this strategy is of
the defensive nature.
Although the other ships to be added to
the squadron have not yet been definitely
selected, it is Surmised that they will in
clude some of the other battleShipS at

San Diego, Cal, March 18.-Work on

the men of Battery D. Orders have been
received not to permit any one to land
on the government reservation where
the big guns are to be mounted. The
men under command of Capt. Humph-
reys have begun building a torpedo
magazine within 100 feet of the quaran-
tine station. The torpedo easement
north of the Ballast Point battery is
ready for the electrician. The torpedo
system will command the deepest part
of the ships channel, just inside the
point, although the exact location is a
government secret. 1t is reported that
the commanders of the Monterey and
Monadnock have received orders to be
ready to put to sea at moments no

INDEMNITY OR WAR.
That is Congressman Curtis Position
on the Maine Affair.

Washington, March 18.-The Kansas
members and senators are evidencing
the greatest interest in the Cuban situ-
alton. But pending the arrival of the
official report they hesitate about ex-
pressing an opinion. Representative
Curtis, however, is one of the members
of the house who believes in a vigorous
policy with relation to Spain. He said:
"In my opinion, if the official report
demonstrates the fact that the Maine
was destroyed by a torpedo, the presi-
dent should Immediately recognize the
belligerency of Cuba, and at the same
time demand full reparatiOn from
Spain in the shape of indemnity. If
Spain should refuse to comply with this
command then war should be declared
and the government should put forth
every effort to bring it to a speedy
termination. 1 have no doubt as to the
ability of this country to whip Spain in
a short time. If we should resort to war
we should concentrate our entire fleet
in the vicinity of Havana and blow the
last Spanish vessel out of the water,
level Moro Castle to the ground, unless
our demands were complied with. L
am opposed to war, but if it comes I
believe in pushing it with the utmost
vigor until Spain has at last been
brought to her senses"
Indemnity alone is not what the peo-
pie of Kansas ask, but freedom for
Cuba. Congressman Curtis should
amend his proposal to express the feel
ing here.-Ed.1

IS sIMFLY HELLIsHl
Is the Situation in Cuba, Says Senator
GaIIinger, Just Returned.

Washington, March Ex-senator Cal
inger was at the capitol today for the
first time since his return from Cuba.
When requested to make statement
as to his observations on the condition
of affairs on that island, he responded:
You can sign my name to any picture
you may draw of utter wretchedneSS,
destitutiOn and hellishness in that
country. The condition of affairs is
simply indescribable. 1 do not believe
that any one who simply reads the ac-
counts and does not see for himself,
can form an adequate idea of the situ-
alton.
THE reconcentrados are wedged into
all available places in those cities and
are perishing by the thousands for
want of the cOmmonest necessaries of
life. The best information ObtainabIe
leads to the conclusion that there have
been beyond a doubt 100000 deaths as
a result of Spain s bruatal policy and the
tragedy goes on from day to day. The
society of the Red Cross is furnishing
some relief by it's efforts, but the most
of these people are beyond the reach
of aid, either through medicine or food
Il saw nothing which impressed me
with the idea that Spain knows much
about modern warfare. The soldiers I
saw are not drilled as our soldiers are.
The drills that I witnessed were a
travesty on modern military IDEAS;
From my observation of them, 1 should
not consider them very formidable an
tagonists on the field of battle.
so far as 1 could ascertain from my
those not entirely under the influence
of the Spaniards the opinion was uni
Versal that the Maine had been de-
stroyed by an external agency and al
most every person with whom 1 dis
cussed the subject in Cuba, expects that
the findings of the American court of
inquiry will substantiate this view.
There is a divergence of opinion on
the island to the probabilities of war
between Spain and the United States,
and 1 am sure that I am within the
bounds of the truth, when 1 say that al
most the entire native population would
welcome any turn of events however
tragic, that would wrest Cuba from
Spanish dominion. This is true, not
only of those who are avOwedly favor
able to a war for independence, but of
many of those who are ranked as Span
ish sympathizers, but who are at heart
advocates of Cuban independence. The
fact is that even in Havana the allegi-
ance to Spain is of a very weak and
doubtful character and if war should
come, it would be found that there
would be an uprising in that city
against the mother country which
would be a most important factor in
shortening the contest and deciding it
against Spain.'

TO ATTACH WITNESSES.
Patrons of Drinking Resorts Chased
in a Very Uncomfortable Manner.

The last resort of the temperance
committee to cinch the evidence against
the jointists is being tested this after
noon when a large number of attach
ments will be issued by Justice Nc
ClintOck for witnesses who refused to
appear to give their dispositions in the
Hoffman injunction case. 1t was Hoff-
mans joint that was located in the
room near Fifth street used as Republi-
can headquarters last fall.
Eleven witnesses, including some of
the best known young and old men in
the city were summoned to appear at 8
o'clock this morning There were but
four there and their testimony was of
Indifferent value to the temperance
committee.
The taking of the dispositions was
objected to by w. E. Pagan and W. E.
Alexander, attorneys for the property
owners and the jOintists on the ground
that the witnesses were not contem-
plating leaving Topeka and would be
present when the case is called in the
district court.
Attorney F. H. Foster said that he
would ask for attachments for the 9TH
er witnesses. He asked that the hear
ing be postponed until this afternoon to
give the witnesses time to appear.
