TO INVADE CUBA THIS WEEK.
War Department Onicials Have Decided to
Act Immediately.

Washington, D. Ono possible con-
tingency can now arise, according to
War Department officials, to pre-
vent an invasion of Cuba during the
present week. Those in direct control
of affairs insist that climatic condi-
tions will have to be ignored, and
they can see no other reason for fur
Their delay.
Owing to the change in the plans
regarding the number of troops that
were to constitute the invading
army, the administration was obliged
to put off the combined attack on
Havana until the volunteer army
could be thoroughly organized,
equipped and provided with ammuni-
ton. These preparations have now
reached the point of completion, and
it is confidently expected that some
important army movement will be
made before the end of the week.

A man known throughout the Civil
War as "the swordmaker of the Con-
federacy' was one Haiman, a Prussian,
who had settled in Columbus, Ga, in
his youth. He was a timer by trade,
but when war broke out he began to
make swords. In a years time his
factories covered a block, and the off,
GERS of the southern army were WELD
ing his blades, said, by the way, to be
as finely tempered as any made in
America.

Key West. Fla.-The United States
cruiser Montgomery, which brilliantly
silenced the Cabras Island batteries
in the battle at San Juan, had more
practice.
While cruising along the north
coast of Cuba, one hundred miles
east of Cardenas Light, the Mont
eomery sighted three Spanish gun
boats and gave chase to them. The
Spanish vessels, which were painted
black, and were about to seize the
Mayflowcr, fled to the shore and took
refuge in an inlet where the cruiser
could not follow them.
The Montgomery let fly two broad
sides at the terrified Spaniards, but
the effect of the shots could not be
ascertained.

manufactured by scientific processes

ties. The high standing of the CALI

ing them, and it does not grippe nor
