Old Billy Blue, from near Shep-
herdstown, who has been in town for
the last few days on "hllark, was
arrested yesterday evening. Billy at
that time was financially embarrassed
and was not able to contribute to the
city treasury out of his pocket, so he
was put to work this morning scraplng
off the crossings. He does this with a
glad heart. Billy only comes to town
about once a month and during his
stay here he always pays short visit
to the lookup, but this time he was
surprised when he was handed a hoe
and sent out to scrape the crossings.

Mr.. Louis E. Brown, formerly Of this
place, now running bakery at Cul-
pepper, Va, received 81 300, legacy
from his father, the late Gustave
Brown, of Charlestown, and on Sunday
night last lost the whole amount. He
had it in a tin box sitting on a shelf in
his bakery, and while he and his wife
went to meet a train the window was
raised and the box stolen. James
Walker, hotel waiter, was arrested.
He stated that if he was taken to Wash

there on Tuesday, he could get the
money. He was taken to see his wife
who, after some declarations Of her in

A GREAT fuss is being kicked up
over the West Virginia Legislature,
and those who are trying to keep
track of all the statements are in
danger of losing their minds. The
truth of the matter is, the House of
Delegates is Democratic and the Sen
ate is Republican. On joint ballot,
if Senators Getzendanner and Pierson
are to be counted in, the Republicans
will have one majority. If they are
not allowed to take the seats they for
feited when they entered the army,
the Democrats will have majority of
one on joint ballot.

OUR standing army will have to be
increased to 100000 men, though
one-fourth that number was amply
sufficient before our policy of imper-
ialism was launched. Of course the
people will have to pay four times as
much to support this army. This
burden will come upon the plain peo-
pie, for it is already demonstrated
that the rich men and the wealthy
corporations can very easily evade
their share Of taxation. The evils Of
our new policy are becoming more
apparent each day-but where are the
benefits?

PLANS FOR CUBA
Absolute Freedom De
manded BY Army Men.
Revolutionists Are Determined,
Would Not Accept Verdict OF
Majority-A Protectorate.

HAVANA November 30.-General
Portuondo, president of the Cuban AS
Isembly, who is of all prominent Cubans
the most sympathetic toward the Unit
ed STATES, confirms General Lacret's
statement regarding the attitude of the
Cuban army. He said to me last night
Even should plebiscite of the Gu
ban people result in a majority voting
for annexation the revolutionary party
will not accept that decision, but will
the United States shows a disposition
to combat that claim we can only take
ITO the woods again. OF course, against
the resources and power of America we
fighting for that independence for
which We have so long strug gled.
Personally 1 believe that annexation
would be the best solution of the prob
a time come, but now we shall and
must have established that Cuban re-
public so long the object of our
dreams.
General Portuondo told me that while
not giving the statement as authorita-
tive he believes that full understand
ing has been arrived at between the
American Government and Cuban lead
ers The United States is to retain
troops in the island maintaining a pro
tectorate, with power of veto on laws
passed by Cuban representatives. The
Cuban Government will be organized
nominally independent, but under con-
troll of the United States.
Portuondo frankly stated that while
such was the proba bic course of events
any intervention by the United States
in Cuban affairs or any attempt to con-
troll the Government would be bitterly
resented by the CubanS and would pro-
badly lead to denial of authority, Gu
ban troops taking up arms. He said
that the feeling was strong in this mat
ter and the soldiers were prepared to
sacrifice everything rather than have
the taunt cast in their face that they
got rid of the flag of Spain only to sub
ject themselves to the yoke of the Unit
ed States.
