CUBANS PROTEST.

More Rabid Natives Adopt Resolutions
Against American Encroachments.
HAVANA, Sept. 15.-Ihe presence Of
Robert P. Porter, who is in Havana on
a special commission from the United
States government to study the finan.
cial and economic aspects of the situa-
ton, is regarded with suspicion by the
party of free Cuba as indicating the
esta blishment of an American policy Of
guardianship.
Mr.. Porter is preparing a revision Of
the Cuban tariff, which will probably
be protective of Cuban industries, and
is acquainting himself with every de-
tail of local taxation.
In this work he is assisted by capa-
BILE staff. For the pres mt his efforts
are only preliminary, as until after the
definite settlement Of peace it will be

stands the Cuban sentiment, which has
struggled for freedom for three years,
OH the other is arrayed every material

and foremost for the greatest and
strongest guarantee, not only that
order will be preserved, but that there

There is no more wholesome, palata-

SLICK PETE'S WATCH DEAL.
Bought Them at $2.15 Each and Sold
Them to Swindlers For $40 Apiece.


An old time detective the other day
was discussing with some sleuths new
in the profession the methods of up to
date swindlers. After deprecating the
originality of the modern crook he told
of what he considered the sharpest game
he ever saw worked.
ST suppose you fellows know" he
said, "that during Centennial year Phil

and sharpers of every description. Well,

gentry, and in time | became acquainted
with most of the big ones, who were
generally exceedingly bright men. One
in particular, who was known as Slick
Pete, | took great liking to, for he
had an inexhaustiblefund of humor and
was good hearted chap. Toward the
end of the Centennial exhibition one
day I dropped into down town auction
room where some fake jewelry was be-
ing sold. A lot Of watches were offered,
and saw that they had been made EVIL
IDENTIFY for bunko steering purposes, for
the works We're good, and the cases were
made to look like solid gold. They were
finally knocked down for So. Is apiece,
and I saw that the buyer was Slick
Pete Jewelry was cut of his line, but
I knew he had some scheme in view.
Two months passed before I again saw
Pete, and then asked him W hat he had
done with the watches. He began to
laugh and said, ooh, skinned some
swindler with them!' Then followed
the explanation. He had hired room
and inserted an advertisement in vari-
GUS papers something like this: Found
"A solid gold watch; Elgin works
loser pay COSTS Apply, etc. Nearly
every crook in town answered the ad.
and claimed the watch. Pete, who
made up as an old man, seemed a mark,
and the fly crook, in the hurry to de-
part made but cursory examination.
THE costs, SO, were invariably handed
over, and in two days Pete had disposed
of his stock. ''-Philadelphia Record.

The Bamboo Gun.

The natives in the Bucherganj dis.
trict of Bengal have been deprived Of
their guns, and since then they have re-
sorted to the native bamboo in the hunt
for defensive weapons.
They hollow out the bamboo, load it
with an ounce or two of native powder
and handful Of iron slugs and touch it
off with fuse in the immediate neigh
borhood of the Offending person.
Another way, as the cookery books
say, is to employ the bamboo as fork
with cobra pinned to the far end. An
application Of the cobra to the sleeping
body of an enemy is all that is neces-

BETTER FEELING PREVAILS.

Both Insurgents and Americans Anxious

LONDON, Sept. 15.-The Manila COR
respondent of The Times says: A let.
ter feeling prevails between the Ameri-
cans and insurgents, probably induced
through the influence of the insurgent
leaders assembled at Maleos. Tuesday
Aguina do sent an officer to ask per-
mis- ;ion to move detachment of troops
from Londo, one of the suburbs, to
Manila. The request was promptly
granted and large detachment of in.
surgents evacuated Londo, marching
through the American Ines in the di.

ing proper military honors en- route.

"Men build fires in various places tc

sticks driven in the earth and from
which the camp kettles are suspended.
This was the gathering point of the
company.
"Men did not always stand about the
campfire. 1t depended upon circum-
stances and on the weather. They met

were times when men would stand

then it might be that the men would

''But, though it might be deserted,
the fire still burned. Sometimes on cold
and windy nights the wind would
blow it about and scatter it, and some.
times, when it was no longer attended.
the rain would put it out black, but
there was usually a living fire there by
day and a bed of embers by night, and

The following is the senate con

The following is the senate com
mittee's majority report in the Gu
ban matter, and the one that will
likely be adopted by congress:
Whereas, the abhorrent conditions
which have existed for more than
three years in the island of Cuba, so
near our own borders, have shocked
the moral sense Of the people of the
United States, have been a disgrace
to Christian civilization, culminat-
ing as they have, in the destruction
of United States battleship, with
zoo of its officers and crew, while on
a visit to the harbor of Havana, and
cannot be longer endured, as has
been set forth by the president of
the United States in his message to
Congress of April II. 1898, upon
which the action of congress was in
vited, therefore,
Resolved, First, That the people
of the island of Cuba are, and of
right, ought to be free and indepen-
dent.
Second, that it is the duty of the
United States to demand, and the
government of the United States
does hereby demand, that the gov
eminent of Spain at once relinquish
It's authority and government in the
island of Cuba and withdraw its land
and naval forces from Cuba and Gu
ban waters.
Third, That the president of the
United States is hereby directed and
empowered to use the entire land
naval forces of the United States
and to call into the actual service of
the United States the militia of the
several states to such to extent as
may be necessary to carry these
resolutions into effect.

This is the year for a republican
victory. Everything points that
way. Crops have been good and
prices good. The rotor idea has
been knocked silly and farmers are
settling down to business as they
used to before politics became bus
mess with so many. Professional
politicians and fellows who are stand
ing candidates are getting less at
ten ion than formerly and all hands
seem to be looking out for a way to
earn a living, not to secure it by
sharp practices. Business men,
farmers and working men should
read enough of politics to be able to
vote intelligently and should attend
and help nominate dele
gates to conventions who stand for
their views. If business men would
get out to caucuses and conventions
more and help shape their doings,
better nominations could and would
be made and if the republican party
loes its duty this year Kansas will
again be a republican state.

general character before its formal
presentation.
The, message is instinct with a
high order Of craftsmanship. AS an
argumentive document it is logical,
clear and forcible; as a patriotic ut
terence it is broad, dignifed and
American; as state paper it is i'm
pressive, just and convincing, and
as personal expression, it is noble,
courageous and humane.
In his review of the Cuban war
and the miseries wrought by it, in
his summary of our governments eff
forts to restore order and protect
our commerce by friendly mediation
and in his declaration of SPANS re
fusal to accept our friendly Offices,
and her failure TO achieve satisfac-
tory results from her own efforts,
the president has made a complete
and impregnible case against the
Spanish government,
The message demonstrates the wis
dom of the course pursued and is
Justification Of the one recommend
ed to congress, especially in its re
population Of the patient endeayors
of the government to accomplish
the desired end without resort to
arms. 1t will command the respect
of the world
The president has made effective
use of authority precedent in his ar
gument against a recognition of Gu
ban independence at this time. He
has covered this point SO ably that
the acceptance Of his recommended
tion by congress is more than proba-
BILE.
The reference to the Maine disas-
ter is especially gratifying to the ma
ton as a whole. This reference dis
regards the point Of SPANS respon-
has not been proven
but it is a powerful arraignment
Of Spain's intentional or actual ina
oiIity to protect the lives and prop
,rty of Americans in her ports, thus
making one Of the strongest justifca-
ions for intervention.
The president evidently regards
he beluted degree Of armistice issued
W Spain as only a subterfuge to gam
urther time, either to put off action
N the part or the United States or
0 suspend military operations in
,uba pending the rainy season.
While calling the attention of con-
ress to this new Development, the
resident, with a clever appropria-
ion of a spectacular coup to his own .
urpose, simply observes: eff this
leasure attains a successful result,
zen our aspirations as a Christian,
eace loving people will be realized.

The message is a thorough vindi
alton of the presidents conduct {
trough the trying ordeals of the .
asst few months. Having exhausted
lie resources Of peaceful negotia
ons, he declares unequivocally in
vor of armed intervention, and

rs was suggested last week, Pres
ident Mckinley sent the long look
editor message to congress Monday.
The fire eaters and jinjoes were dis
appointed as tin horn people gener-
ely are, but the people Of response
bility, those on whom a war with a
foreign nation would have some eff
feet, look at it as one of the ablest
documents ever eminating from the
executive mansion. Mr. Mckinley
suggests intervention in behalf of the
Cuban sufferers and says the war
MUST STOP! He asks congress for
power to restore peace in Cuba, and
says he is willing to carry out the
will of congress, and there the mat
ter rests;it remains for the two hous,
es of congress whether it shall be
recognition of the Cuban govern
ment or simply Intervention. The
president lays the responsibility Of
the blowing up of the Maine at the
door Of the Spanish government, and
declares that Spain is incapable of
governing the island and giving pro-
lection to foreign friendly citizens
or their property. Mckinley is ALL
right. and when congress, which
alone can declare war and provide
revenue for carrying the same to a
successful conclusion, lays out line
Of action, he is ready to do business
along said line.
