THREE LOTS OF TEETH.
A Colorado Indian 100 Years Old
Who IL Aided by Nature to
Keep His Youth.

No-wa-she Jack Pota, an old Indian,
who resides with his four squaws on
Snake creek in the Creek nation, is
one of the greatest living curiosities in
this country. says the Gushing (Col.)
Herald. He is said to be 100 years old,
but judging from the different events
which he Claims happened within a
lifetime he must be even older. The
most remarkable feature about Nova
she is that he has already lost two sets
Of teeth and now has grown a third
set complete. His hair is jet black. with
no signs of turning gray: his step is
firm and bearing erect: he has buried
- wives and is now living with four.
II" was originally Delaware. but was
captured by the Araches when young
and held for number OF years: he
was adopted by the Muskogccs when
a middle-aRed man and has been re-
garded as the oldest man in the tribe
for the past 30 years. No-wa-she is
treated with the greatest reverence by
the members of the tribe. who regard
him as superior being, and the crafty
old fellow doesn't hesitate to take adj
vantage of their superstitions by ac-
cepting all the favors they feel dis
posed to bestow upon him.

WHAT IS DEMOCRACY.

This Is very importout question
just now and has been for many years,
Simon pure Democracy is something
more to the man than the mere ma
chine for the elevation of men and
ciques to office. Thomas Jefferson
was the founder Of the party, and the
sixteen principles laid down by him
IN his first inaugural have ever been
and are now the foundation ON which
rests the superstructure Of the party.
There may be differences of opinion
among Democrats on issues more or
less outside these, but according to
the sixth principal, when a majority
OF the party.has spoken, it is the duty
Of the party to fall in line. 1t is well
sometimes to keep these facts before
the people. and it will be we'll for
some of these fellows who left the
party last election, to keep these prin-
ciples before them. and il future

CERvERA WAS NOT THERE.

Else Our Warships Would Have Been
Defeated, Says Havana Dispatch.
Havana, June admiral Cervera,
It is reported here, was not at Santiago
de Cuba during the bombardment by
the American squadron. Had he been
there the Spanish warships would have
entered the combat against the Ameri-
cans, confident Of victorious outcome.
The Spanish troops have orders TO
make an energetic, a slight or no re-
sistance, according to circumstances,
with view of facilitating the landing
of American forces. so that the latter
may go into the interior OF the country,
where the Spanish are convinced they
will be able to defeat them.
The Spanish army and navy are
anxious to measure arms with the
Americans, and DESTROYS that a propi-
tious occasion may soon present itself,
trusting for the result to the courage
of the Spanish soldiers and sailors, to
their better organization and to the
greater skill of their commanding Of

1t VIII Doubtless Result in Another
and Decisive Battle.
Port au Prince, Hayti, June 2.-The
following details have been received
here from a Spanish source at Havana
of the engagements reported off San
tiago de Cuba:
1.-THE American fleet, consisting Of the
Iowa, Massachusetts, Brooklyn, Texas,
New Orleans, Marblehead, Minneapolis
and another cruiser, in addition to six
small vessels, took up a position on
May 81 on the western side of the
mouth of Santiago de Cuba channel,
and the first five vessels opened fire.
The fire of the American fleet was
answered by the Moro, Socapa and
Punta Gorda batteries and by the
cruiser Cristobal Colon.
1.-THE Spanish batteries at first an
swered the fire of the American squad
ron in a lively manner. After 20 min
utes of firing directed in a superior
manner upon the part of the American
feet, the Spanish batteries began to
weaken their fire and the American
ships concentrated q violent fire upon
Ell Moro, destroying it completely.
The forts at Socapa and Punta Gorda
fired the last shots.
1.-THE Americans fired projectiles of
80 centimeters, and the batteries, as
we'll as the Cristobal Colon, kept up
an incessant responsive fire, Two shots
landed on the afterpart of the Iowa,
causing damage. On the Spanish side
lhe damage was insignificant.
1.-THE American squadron withdrew
at 6 O'Clock in the evening. Yester-
day morning the American squadron
reappeared off Santiago, but contented
itself with firing two shots, which are
believed to have been signals agreed
upon with the insurgents, who, num-
bering 5000 or 5000, are said to have
concentrated three or four miles from
Santiago. Great events are expected
hourly"
The Spanish government, according
to adviees received here from Havana,
intends to cut the cables which con-
meet that city with Key West, if the
other Cuban cables are cut by the
Americans.

say, publish dispatch from Madrid
declaring that the Americans intend

engaged in service or is a commissioned
officer. Soldiers who would have been
qualified at their muster but for age.
and arriving at lawful age by such
election, are also to vote. These votes
are to be considered as cast in the

WHY OUR WAR VESSELS ESCAPED

Havana Dispatch Declares 1t Was Because
Admiral Cervera Was Not There to Enter
the Combat Alleged Anxiety of the
Spaniards to Measure Arms With Our
Fighters-Castelar, the Spanish Repub-
lican Leader, May Be Prosecuted For a
Newspaper Attack on the Queen Regent
Cape Haytien, Hayti, June 2.-The
fight at Santiago de Cuba Tuesday was
as fierce as the first reports indicated,
the big Spanish fort FL MORO, at the
entrance to Santiago harbor, being
completely destroyed. Several Ameri-
can ships were struck, and the auxil1-
airy cruiser St. Paul, commanded by
Captain Sigsbee, was seriously dam
aged by the Spanish shells, part of her
sides being torn away.
The United States torpedo boat Por-
ter arrived in the harbor OF Mole St
Nicolas, Hayti, yesterday and left dis
patches for Washington, returning to
Santiago. Admiral Sampson was not
in Tuesdays fight at Santiago, as re-
ported, all honor being due to Commo-
dore Sehley, whose object in the attack
was to discover the strength Of the
Spanish Notifications.
According to the story told by one OF
the Porter's officers to Mole st. Nico-
las correspondent, the battleship Iowa,
commanded by Fighting Bob" Evans,
led in the attack, being closely follow
ed by the torpedo boat Porter, the st.
Paul and the protected cruiser New
Orleans
Just inside the harbor entrance, be-
tween FL MORO and La Socapa, was
the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon,
one of the ships that Admiral Cervera
brought from Spain, which supported
the forts in their defense.
The New Orleans was detached and
sent ahead in order to draw the Span
ish fire. Ell MORO sent the first shell.
and the New Orleans replied will all
her available guns, the battleships
Iowa, Massachusetts and Texas open
ing on the battery of Punta Gorda, far
Their up in the harbor, but her weak
fire showed that she was not an i'm
portant factor.
The gunners on the American battle
ships concentrated their aim on the
Spanish cruiser, which stood perfect
storm of shell for little while, buI
sought refuge behind promonotory.
Then all attention was paid to the
batteries Firing was kept up on them
for five hours. The walls were riddled
and the guns knocked from their en-
placements. The Spanish soldiers
could be seen from the Porter running
for protection among the hills.
The American ships are said to have
fired 20 shots, and the destruction of
life in the Spanish lines must have
been great. The walls tumbled in on
the gunners, and the list of wounded
must be up in the hundreds.

TO PROSECUTE CASTELAR,.
Spanish Republican Leader Criticized
the Queen Regent.


the Queen Regent.
Madrid, June Am article signed by
Senior Emelie CASTELAR,, the distinguish
ed Republican statesman, which re-
Gently appeared in The Petite Revue
Internacionale and which has been re-
produced in several Spanish papers
that are being prosecuted for the re-
production, has caused a great sensa-
ton. Senior CASTELAR, attacks the queen
regent, reproaching her with being a
foreigner and unpopular and with in
terfering unjustifiably in political af-
fairs. He compares her present posi-
ton with that of Queen Marie Antoin-
cite on the eve of the French revolu-
ton.
The matter came before the senate
yesterday, the Duke de Roca demand
ing the prosecution of CASTELAR,, and
other senators expressing in violent
terms their Indignation at Senior Cas-
telar's conduct. Senior CapdeDon, the
minister of the interior, announced that
the matter had already been placed
before the law office.
Ell Impartial, which represents the
Republicans, handles Senior CASTELAR,
roughly for his ''unpatriotic conduct"
and reproaches him for accepting the
post of counsellor to an English COM
pany at Algecieras and for working
entirely in favor of foreigners"
Castelar's article has had all the
greater effect because 1t seems to in
dictate that he has modified his decision
to retire from political life, in Difference
to the wishes of those desiring to put
him forward as possible president of
a republic.
