Master Mechanic John Forster
was a Coolidge visitor Wednesday
on company business.
Master Mechanic c. NJ. Taylor,
OF the New Mexico division, was
in town last Wednesday.
Fred Jones left the first OF the
week for Pueblo, having been
assigned to duty running a switch
engine in the yards at that point.
Travelling Engineer John A.
Ross, of Las Vegas, was in town
several days this week assisting in
the examination OF hremen for
promotion.
Superintendent OF Machinery
John Player and George A. Han
cock, OF Topeka, were in town for
few hours Thursday morning,
arriving on No. II.
Fireman NJ. X. Banning passed
the examination for promotion
Wednesday, and the next day was
pulling the throttle on switch
engine No. 229I in the local yards.
John Murphy, who passed an
examination for promotion from
fireman to engineer last Wednes-
day, left yesterday morning for
Denver, where he will take charge
OF switch engine.
Firemen NJ. X. Banning and
John Murphy were examined by
Master Mechanic Forster and
Travelling Engineer Ross last We'd
nesday for promotion to the right
side of the cab. Both passed.
Engineer ]. s. Elliott, former
resident of this city, was killed at
Needles, Cal, last Tuesday. His
train broke in two, and to escape
injuries from collision he jumped
from his engine, and received fatal
injuries in the head by coming in
contact with switch target. His
remains passed through this city
Thursday, accompanied by his
wife, on their way to Topeka,
where they will find last resting
place.
A former resident of Nickerson,
Kan, who is now living in Chicago,
says that the lines are drawn very
distinctly in that town. The pas
senger. conductors wives held
themselves little higher than
the spouses OF the freight conduc-
tors, and the latter in turn look
down upon passenger engineers
families. These take out their
pride on the freight engineers, and
from there 1t passed down to the
passenger brakemen, the freight
brakemen and the switchmen and
their families. Charles Rogers
had just been promoted from being
a freight conductor TO the charge
of passenger train. His wife
gloried in his good fortune and
proceeded to make the most of it,
as her social ambition was as
boundless as many in wider
spheres. Mrs. Rogers wanted
instant recognition of her higher
position. Her old acqnaintances
were therefore all honored with
call from the lady and each one of
them was informed of the read
justment in the social scale by a
visiting card which read:
Mrs. Passenger Conductor
Charles Rogers.

CUBAN INSURGENTS
SULLENLY HOSTILE.
Trouble Breeding With Them which
May Need Sappressing With
an Iron Hand.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA. Aug. 15.-Trouble
with the Cubans is breeding. Their atti-
tude is one of suiien hostility toward
Americans. The better class in Cuba favor
the annexation of the island TO the United
States and a majority OF the masses is
ready and anxious to accept the shelter
and protection afforded by an American
protectorate but they are influenced by
a certain class OF rabid orators and breed
ers of sedition and rebellion against any
thing smacking OF law and order.
This infiammatory class demands and
urges the recognition OF Cuba for Gu
bans, and spurns all offers or suggestions
tending to prosperity urr:er an American
protectorate and excites popular discon-
tent. This is exactly the class that pushes
itself most into evidence and whose views
and opinions are most overheard and pub
lished.
Their advice to the Cubans Is to repudi
ate all offers of peace or a cessation of
hostlities. and TO look upon an armistice
an. agreement between the United
States and Spain on their own account,
and not binding upon the free and indie
pendent state OF Cuba whose liheratins
army not only regulates pacificatlon. bu;
will ignore the armstice To the point of
continuing to wage war and shooting ev-
~ Spaniard in the field.
4 wild rumor is alloat to the effect that
the Cuban army will attack Santiago and
capture II to the glory of Cuban arms. as
soon as the American garrison il weaker
ed This is directly traceable to the same
source.
The influence exerted by such body of
men against law and order is formidable.
This hystericai people demands suppress
sion with ar iron hand. While still in en-
bryo. this influence is already felt among
certain classes who refuse TO work or
serve the government until a clear state
ment of the freedom and independence of
their country is made clear.
A knowledge OF this condition is impera-
tive To the molding OF future policies, and
to explain whatever harsh steps may be
rendered necessary in dealing with the
insurgents.
