why's and wherefores of the shrinkage.
When Santiago surrendered on July IL.
II .00j Spaniards stood in urgent need, first,
of food; second, of cash. These crafty
Castilians bethought themselves of an
ingenious plan for satisfying their lust of
flesh and gold.
They knew our boys would enjoy re-
past of fresh meat after their severe diet
of bacon and hardtack and would be glad
to pay almost any price in the local res
taurants for it. So a goodly number of
sinewy chargers and tough old war horses
We're put to the sword and distributed at
fancy prices to the inns and chop houses
of the district for the especial benefit Of
the Americans.
For a time this horsefesh brought eX-
-cellent prices but after many equine steaks
had been served, devoured and paid for, the
American troops gradually began to realize
what they We're eating and would have no
more of it. A slump in the market followed,

In this simple manner. unhampered by
the formality of bill of sale, many horses
changed hands, always to the advantage OF
the seller, who was getting something for
what had cost him nothing, and incidentally
depriving Uncle Sam of lawful prizes OF
war.
And thus. at least partially, is explained
the fact that the Spanish cavalry turned
over to General Shafter had dwindled to
the ridiculous figure of 143.

CUBANs ARE OvERJ0YED.
Juntn Counsel Says They May Be De.
pended Upon to Cooperate
With Americans.

NEW YORK, Aug 1S.-The Cubans in
this city are happy over the signing of the
protocol and the position taken by the
United States in Cuban affairs. Word has
already been received from the Cubans in
the field that they have accepted the arnlis-
tice and are no longer fighting the Span
iards. This information was received at the
junta late tonight. H. S. Rubens. counsel
for the Cuban delegation, says:
/ THE Cubans are overjoyed to think that
the object for which they have fought for
thirteen years has at last been attained.
The Cubans may be depended upon to CO.
operate with the Americans in carrying out
the establishment of 4 peaceful and a
stable government on the island.
"As l regard the language of the resolu-
ton of congress as the base of American
intervention, namely, the establishment of
stable and Independent government by
the people OF Cuba, and recalling the Ian
guage of the president in his message to
| congress when he said the object was the
establishment in Cuba of a government
| capable of fulfilling international oblisa-
tions, do not think the intention was to
| submit the question of annexation to the
people of Cuba.
The Cubans stand accused by the Span
ish as, not being capable of self-govern-
ment, and they feel that it is a question Of
dignity and honor to disprove that false
hood to all the world. They have no feel
ings but gratitude for the timely and effect
| i've intervention of the United States in
| their behalf. They have full confidence in
| the justice of American government and
| feel sure that they. the true friends Of re-
| publican institutions, will not discriminate
against them in any way because of a
pretended fear for the safety of the island
| or because of the calumnies of Spain.
"They will assist the United States in
every way in their power to settle any
| questions that may hereafter arise, and,
with the same ardor they maintained when
| their principle was independence or death.
| will they now strive for realization of the
| new motto, peace and prosperity"

WASHINGTON. Aug 13.-(special) In
formation is received from Thorough Gan
Va, that Assistant Surgeon Louis c. Dun

Duncan is represented by Major A. NJ
Harvey, of the Twenty-second Kansas He
is heavily guarded by armed guards. His
friends declare that he is innocent of the
charge, and that he was wandering alone
in the woods making sketches. DR.. Duncan
is the anatomist in the Kansas medical
college. There are others implicated in
this affair, but thus far all efforts to iden-
tify the accessories have failed 1t is
claimed that parties present were recog-
nized by their belts and hats as belonging
to Tennessee, Indiana and New York regi-
ments. No detailed information as to the
investigation has been received here, but
it is expected that the court will be in
session several days.
The heavy rains of yesterday resulted in
great discomfort to the troops. Among
the principal sufferers were the boys of
the Twenty-second Kansas and the Third
Missouri, who were camped in a stubble
field and were exposed to a drenchng rain
that lasted for hours. The Third Missouri
is one of only two regiments that have
been paid.

BETTER TEACHERS IN KANSAS
Has Been Marked Improvement
In Recent YearD.

TOPEKA, Aug. 13-{Special.l Professor
Stryker, state superintendent of public In
struction, has finished his annual tour of
county institutes. He has been on the go
for the past two months. and is glad that
the work is now finished. He is highly
gratified over the improvement Of country
school teachers. In discussing school af-
fairs to-day he said:
while the attendance generally AZ in
stitutes has been smaller than usual this
summer, the work done has been excellent
From every county the report comes in
that an exceptionally large per cent of the
applicants for, certificates at the close of
the institutes have passed the examina-
ton and have been given certificates
Also, what is more interesting and more
important, the manuscript handed in by
applicant is better than in former years.
and in every way justifies the granting
Of this large per cent of certificates
This is due to the hard work done in
preparation, not only during institute. but
during the whole school year. 1t must
result in better teaching and better
schools. County superintendents have gen.
orally been in favor of raising the stand
ard of requirements. 1t could not be done
without their cooperation. The results OF
the examinations this summer are inoeed
gratifying to all friends OF the puohc
THE last state examinations also show
an increase in number of applicants and in
Character of manuscript. More state GER
tificates were granted last year than dur
ing any two years before IN the history
of the state This, taken in connection with
the fact that requirements are greater
than ever before. is conclusive evidence
of a growing desire on the part of teachers

fession. This condition is not confined TO
