Key West Fla, May l3.--Information Of a
vague character reached here this morning
of the attempt to land on Cuban soil the
cargo of the arms and ammunition taken
over by the steamer Gussie on Wednesday
The Gussie came from Tampa with 1000
rifles and a large quantity of ammunition
clothing and provisions for the Cubans.

who recently landed similar one from the
Leyden after an engagement with the Span
sh troops on shore With him in this lat
est enterprise were about 100 members Of
| the First infantry of the regular army and
ten Cuban scouts.
Arrangements had been made to have a
body of insurgents meet the Gussie at
CaDanas to receive the expedition ana carry

and acted as escort. They returned the fire

killed manv. though this, of course. Is
largely conjectural. Under the protection
of the gunhoats the scouts and detail o.
soldiers made landing, but they were
driven back by the Spanish troops who
maintained a vigorous attack. One of the

none of the other, were injured, The Gus

Death of John K. Chadwick.

One of the best known men in Nc
Kean county was John r. Chadwick OF
keating township, who died on Thurs.
day last and was buried in Smethport
yesterday The funeral was held in
the Methodist church, Rev. DR.. Walk
er officiating, and was largely attend,
ed by the citizens of that place and
surrounding county. In the 'History
of Mexican county," compiled some
eight years ago, it is alleged that Mr..
Chadwick was born in Williamsport,
in 1925. If that was the case his par.
ents must have been temporary resi-
dents there because his father moved
to Shipper, which was then a town
ship of Mexican county, now of Cam
eron, in 1911 His father was a mere
boy when his grandfather settled at
the mouth of North Creek and cleared
up farm.-Kane Republican.

was talking with exSecretary Fos-
ter the other day, says writer in the
Fostoria CO., Review, when he told an
interesting story of Col. Roosevelt,
which is timely. When Mr.. Foster
was secretary, Mr.. Roosevelt was at the
head of the civil service commission.
From that fact he was rather we'll ac-
quainted with the guiding spirit in the
Rough Riders" Mr.. Foster tells the
following of Roosevelt, which gives an
idea of the sort of man he is. Roose~
velt is rich, and in Wyoming he has
ranch and some ten thousand acres
given to cattle and sheep raising
Every summer he goes out West and
spends month or SO. When he first
began these trips the COW punchers of
the plains had but little use for him,
not being averse at all to showing their
dislike. One day one of the cowboys
called him a dude, and said he ought
to be whipped. Roosevelt didn't care
about being called dude but he
wouldn't stand the whipping part.
stand the whipping part. "We'll set
tie that matter right here and at once.
Pick your man, and We'll go to work
at it, said Teddy. The big ggest, burliest
of the cowboys was chosen to admins
ter the whipping. The representative
of the effete East and the type of the
Western plains went at it hammer and
tongs, and in about two minutes the
latter had more than he wanted and
cried for quarter. Beneath Roosevelt's
clothes was hidden lots OF muscle
gained at the college gymnasium, and
under his hat had been stored the
science of the art of defence, which
was unknown to the cowboys rough
and tumble scraps. Ever since that
time, all the cowboys on Roosevelt's
ranch have been his warmest ad-
nirerc.
