LEEDY IS CONFIDENT.
Asylum Charges Will Be Explained
and Fusion win Win.

Kansas City, Oct. Ex-Governor Lee
dy was in Kansas City for a few hours
Tuesday night. Talking of the political
situation in Kansas he said:
Conditions were never more favor
able for the success of the party Flu
sion is a complete success. The cOmbi-
nation of Democrats, POpulists and free
silver Republicans is certain to win,
and I anticipate larger majOrities than
were given US two years ago. There
has been very much less of the friction
that usually results from combinations,
than we expected. In fact, there is
practically no friction now. In the
few counties where differences existed,
these have all been satisfactorily ad-
justed. Reports from every county in
the state are to the effect that we are
in a better position to roll up big ma
jOrities than we were two years ago.
Before the coming of election day
every charge made in DR.. Wetmore's
letter will be answered to the complete
satisfaction of the people of Kansas

WHAT'S HIS NAME.
Kansas officer Wouldn't Draw Beef
Rations Because He Had No Saw.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Gen. Graham
continuing his testimony before the war
investigating commission furnished the
commission with a statement showing
the percentage of sickness in his COM
mand from the first of May to the Goth
of September. The statement showed a
gradual increase for the entire period,
the highest percentage being 6 per cent
towards the end of September. In the
beginning of the history of Camp AL
ger there were no bathing facilities, but
later the men were marched seven miles
in brigades once a week for baths. There
had been no lack of medical supplies
but some of the medical attendants
were inexperienced and inefficient.
Gen. Graham stated that when the
commissary supplies were plentiful the
men were often without the prescribed
food because the regimental officers
were not sufficiently impressed with the
choice of drawing their food. This was
especially true in the matter of fresh
meat. In one case an officer of a kan
sas regiment had refused to draw the
fresh beef rations until he could have a
saw with which to cut it up.

PRIMROSE & DOCKSTADER.
Probably the Best Minstrel Combina-
ton in the United States.

One of the best minstrel organizations
on the road will be seen in the Primrose
& Doekstader combination at the CraW-
ford theater tomorrow evening When
Primrose and West dissolved partner
ship both of the minstrel managers
started out to excel each other in the or
ganizatiOn of a minstrel company. and
the result is that both the Primrose and
the West companies this year are even
better than the Primrose & West COM
pany of a year ago. It is said that the
expense of both organizations is so
great that neither Primrose or West
has as yet made any money by their
separate ventures. With Primrose this
year is associated Lew Dockstader, one
of the best known and cIeverest min
strels on the stage, and the company in
cludes some of the best talent in the
country. The sale of seats is now on
and the audience Friday night will be
large.

TO be kept by the United States and not
be given UP 70 the Cubans. The Cuban
insurgents devastated as many fields and
destroyed as much property as did the
Spanish guerrillas and esquadras that are
composed of the riffraff and dregs of So
ciety, and they are about as capable OF
governing themselves.
when the French warship Auiral Ri
gaut de Genouilly arrived a Caimanera
about the middle of July and brought the
news of the surrender of Santiago Gen.
Pareja would not believe it and insisted
that the officers of the American squad
ron must have deceived the French cap
tain so as 10 demoraIize the Spanish
troops. He declared that the Spanish
squadron could never be beaten. He him
self had not been able either 10 send or
get news from Santiago overland. for all
his couriers were captured by the insur
gents, and Pareja's papers were sent TO
Admiral Sampson.
THE state OF affairs at Guantanamo al
the time was fearful. There was no
meat at all and what little food was still
left in the stores was sold at enormous
prices. Then the military commander.
Col. Prats seized for the troops all the
food that he could find in the stores and
the maize and sweet potatoes that were
found in the sugar factories. Many of
the citizens actually died of hunger, and
no one dared protest nor complain under
pain of imprisonment. If negro COM
planned he was simply decapitated.
But Gen Pareja was really a humane
man at heart and mis- severity lasted
only so long as he believed Santiago 10
be impregnable and the Spanish squadron
invulnerabIe. When a lieutenant colonel
Of the American army was sent 10 take
charge of the place Gen. Pareja did all
in his power TO assist him in maintaining
order.
Before Santiago the American COM
missariat had great difficulty TO pass
their wagons, as there were no roads.
But that department made the mistake
of not packing the supplies on the backs
of mules and hurrying them to the men
ed great deal of hunger and suffering
to the bravery and persistence of the
American soldiers on land, and to Admi-
raj Sampson at sea, that Santiago was
taken, and not TO Gen. Skaters tactics,
which indeed were bad On the land
side the Rough Riders and the negro reg
iment took the San Juan hill by assault.
Gen. Skaters order to make the attack
at noon in the tremendous heat was IN
wise. for the troops had not eaten for
twenty-four hours and were exposed TO
the Spanish fire. He should have brought
up the siege guns. and with them destroy
ed the Spanish trenches, and not with
men. The American loss then would
have been much less. 1t was the bravery
of the men that won the day"
