Senator Foraker declares that the
sarrisoning of Cuba by American troops
IS not going to be tolerated By Con-
sress. There must, he says, be no
American army saddled on Cuba after
the peace treaty is signed and ratified,
and he declares it his opinion that
Congress will allow nothing OF the
kind. In the strongest terms the OHIO
Senator puts himself squarely against
the Presidents policy of maintaining
an army of occupation in the already
army ridden isle, and he indicates that
here will be strong Republican sup
port of the Democratic policy OF recog-
nizing the rights of the Cuban peopae
to enjoy the Independence which they
have, after so much struggle, won.

There are now at the State hospital

the number by dismissing those who

Some Narrow Escapes and Some Cures That

The mention Of Il slcepwalker

brought to the minds of many peo-

come under their observation. and it
is simply astonishing how genera

and now and then Il story indicates
that the vision must DO fairly good

One night Il number of them Law in
