Where Most of the Rough Riders
Came From,

1hen I went down to San Antonio
myself, where l found the men from
New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma
already gathered, while those from the
Indian Territory came in soon after
my arrival
These were the men who made up
the bulk of the regiment, and gave it
its peculiar character. They came
from the Four Territories which yet
remain within the boundaries of the
United States; that is, from the lands
that have been most recently won
over to white civilization, and in
which the conditions of life are nearest
those that obtained on the frontier
when there still was a frontier. They
were a splendid set of men, these
Southwsterners-tall sinewy, with res
olute, weatherbeaten faces, and eyes
that looked a man straight in the face
without flinchihg. They included in
their ranks men of every occupation;
but the three types were those of the
cowboy, the hiintei' and the mining
prospector--the man who wandered
hither and thither, killing game for a
living and spending his life in the
quest for metal wealth.
In all the world there could be no
better material for soldiers than that
afforded by these grim hunters of the
mountains, these wild rough riders of
the plains. They were accustomed to
handling wild and savage horses; they
were accustomed to following the
chase with the rifle, both for sport and
as means of livelihood Varied
though their occupations had been,
almost all had, at one time or anoth-
er, herded cattle and hunted big game.
They were hardened to life in the open
and to shifting for themselves under
adverse circumstances. They were
used, for all their lawless freedom, to
the rough discipline of the roundup
and the mining company. Some oi
them came from the small frontier
towns but most were from the wilder
ness, having left their lonely hunters
cabins and shifting cow-camps to seek
new and more stirring adventures be
yond the sea.-Col. Theodore Roose-
welt, in the January Scribner's. ..

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an iDild med con-
ditiou of the mucous lining OF the EuA-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, ann when 10 is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the Result
and unless the Inflammation can be ta-
ken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever, nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

that he examined the Notifications lust
as any intelligent observer might have
done" He declared that he had been
the subject of unjust and furious attacks
from American newspapers and boast
ingly continued:
Notwithstanding all their sound and
fury, I was not disciplined nor repri-
manded. nor recalled. Ny term at WASH
ington had expired and l was sent on du-
~ here.
Il am no spy, but do know the weak
ness of the coast defenses of the United
States and the naval strength Of Spain.
Mark you. do not say there will be
war, because where dogs bark so much
they rarely bite. but. should war come,
the geographical position of Spain and
the United States will make IT chiefly a
naval struggle. Then our knowledge Of
such weak points in the United States

ish navy has grown very strong during
the last two years. Our torpedo destroy
ers are splendid engines of destruction;

son Of Neptune We shall soon have

Il know the Pacific from Seattle to Ma
tional City and the Atlantic coast from
Maine to Florida; both supply abundant
material for bombardment."
The lieutenant then mentioned the wars
that Spain had engaged in, and spoke of
the vast experience of the nation in that
respect.

said, I'VE would fight for 1909 if it were
necessary to defend our rights. All this

is a combination of courage, experience.

the glorious national pride which has
root in our brilliant past, when Spain
ruled the world"
Lieut.. Sobral referring to the branch
of the service with which he is promi-
inently identified, said that whether war
with America happend or not it was the

ket was ready to be started on its up
ward course. The clique was by this
time already loaded with stocks bought
in London TO be sold here at top figures.
This. however. was only a drop in the
bucket of prosperity which the clique
saw ahead of them. They had worked
the London market on inside information
from their allies. the Rothschilds.
The ROthschilds had informed their
correspondents here that peace was the
program-peace with full pockets for all
the boys.
They were in n position to help those
who had helped them, so as soon as the
armistice farce was concluded with
President Mckinley, Sagasta wired the
great banking house the particulars of
the compromise and the latter immedi-
ately cabled it to their correspondents
on this side.
The raid found the bears totally UMPIRE
pared, and today many houses which
were short in Saturdays market are in
bad way. Their brokers sold stocks
short on Saturday TO deliver yesterday,
but yesterdays boom made il impossible
for them 10 fulfill their contracts When
called uDon for a settlement they told
the brokers to buy the stocks in ques-
ton at the best price possible and they

ence today.
IL the market falls off today these
shorts may be able to cover-otherwise
the world will hear something drop.

THAT PIECE OF CABLE.
Dispatches to The Times Verified by
Diver Rundnuist.

In The Times Of Tuesday, March IL,
there was printed the following dispatch:
KEY West. March 4-An theories,
sneculations and conjectures as 10 how
the battIeship Maine was destroyed Will
be cast aside when the Court Of Inquiry
presents with it's findings the material
evidence Of the existence of not one mine,
but of seven. in the harbor of Havana
"A shattered section of n submarine
cable containing seven conductors, Is IN
the possession Of the court, delivered TO
II by one Of the American divers. and 1t
is the strongest proof yet offered that the
Names destruction was encompasseI by
an agency within the control of the Span
ish authorities in the city of Havana.
The statement is a bold one, and would
not be made did il not emanate from an
authority so trustworthy that its truth
fuiness cannot be questioned.
when the time came for continuing
the investigation the hit OF cable was eN-
ar,ired. II was about fourteen feet long.

contained seven copper wires, insulated
with n gutta percha covering. The out
side was of lead. one-thirty-second OF an
inch thick. Both ends were smashed and
Jagged and torn, as if cut and then
pounded"
Offcial and fullest confirmation of this
news was furnished to the Senate OF the
United States yesterday in the testimony
sent it on the Maine investigation. 1t
anDears in the evidence of Gunner's Mate
RundGuist, who testified that he found
a bunch of wires-"about 80 of them in

INTERVENE AT ONCE.
Representative BrOmwclI Expresses
His Sentiments in The Times.

THE reports brought by the United
States senators in regard to the prevail
ing conditions in Cuba have settled be-
yond doubt the barbarous cruelty of
Spain.
The report of the Court of Inquiry
shows to my mind conclusively. the
fact that the Maine was destroyed with
the knowledge and probable connivance
Of Spanish officials.
THE De LONE incident shows the per-
fidy and deceit Of her so-callcd statesmen
and how little confidence should be placed
in any representations she now makes to
our Government
Her fIotiila of torpedo boats is on its
way here to destroy our vessels and take
the lives of our men. The time for hes
itation is past 1t is time to act. and the
action which is demanded in this emer-
genCy is immediate Intervention.
This statement expresses the prevail
ing sentiment in the House and il only
awaits the opportunity to make itself
heard in no uncertain way.
There is no loud and noisy demonstra-
ton, but a grim determination, Rhich
grows stronger every hour that the uni
versal wish Of the country shall not be
stifled

Ashamed OF Hanna.

Conservative, patriotic "Cy' Sulloway
the sturdy patriot from New Hampshire,
who told the President his duty in no I'M
mistakable terms said this morning that
! Congress would certainly act. He was
not excited. His tones were COOL firm
and decided. He said:
II am for turning hell loose. am for
war with Spain. i am for setting the
mouths of our war guns against the Span
iards, and 1t will be done.
THAT message, with its reference TO the
honor of the Spanish. is the last straw.
Amy man who talks of an indemnity

Spain blew up the Maine officially,
Just as much as if Alfonso sent the tor
pedo crashing into her sides.
Spain placed the mines there Spain
placed the ship over the buoy.
Indemnity? Bah,
81 tell you the American people will
not accept an indemnity.
There are enough American citizens
in this House to run things. We will
stand together and appeal against the
chair and we will win.
There may be a little thunder let loose
today.
There have been times in the history
of the French nation when in their leg
stature, he'll itself has broken loose. We
are Americans and | don't advocate any
such measure here. but the American
people will have action.
Some day this House may adopt the

nothing that handles gold can control
me nor can it control the Americans on
this floor.
You can say to the people that Con-
gress is going TO act"
Seth Brown of Ohio walked into the
House this morning with determination
in his eye. He said:
81 do not belong to Ohio. I really came
from there. but am ashamed Of it, for
Hanna and Mckinley claim that State as
their home.
Il hope. however, to some day in the
near future go back with pride.
we have a weak and Facilitating Pres
ident and he in no way represents the
people of the State.
But the time is coming when the peo-
pie will be heard, and that soon. l shall
stand for action and drastic action at
that.
"Americanism is going to win a great
battle on the floor of this House"
Champ Clark of Missouri, being Cuba
fIiend. was Disguised, angry and full of
fire. He said:
Reed detailed four members OF tn"
Committee on Foreign Relations To go to

me he did not detail the whole committee.

A Freight Train Wrecked.

Plainfield, n. j., March PA disastrous
freight wreck occurred at Bound Brook
station of the Lehigh Valley Railroad this
morning, though no one was injured. An
eastbound freight train was lying on the
main track just west of the station,
while the engine was taking water. An
other eastbound train came along on the
same track, and through some misun-
Outstanding of signals the locomotive
crashed into the rear of the waiting train.
The caboose and six cars were derailed
and scattered about the tracks, blocking
traffic for several hours. No one was
seriously injured, so far as reported.
