A CUBAN FABRICATION.

Foreign Consul Exposes n "Fake''
Hatched by Cuban Omcers.
Havana, June 12.-Some weeks ago
dispatches were published in the local
papers purporting to come from San
tiago de Cuba and announcing that the
Cubans there had absolutely refused to
accept the American gratuity. These
messages were really fabricated by Of
ficers of the late Cuban army in this
city two nights before they appeared
In the cafe of the Hotel Inglaterra
The consul of a foreign power, who
understands Spanish perfectly, sat at
table adjoining the one used by the
Cuban officers in question and heard
every word of the messages as finally
agreed upon, including the corrections
in the original draft and the details
of the plan for forwarding the matter
to Santiago and having it telegraphed
from that point to Havana, as If sent
from a Cuban official The plan was
executed according to program. The
consul who overheard the plot is a
man Of undoubted veracity Though at
present he objects to a public use of
his name, and is not unfriendly to tho
Cubans, he believes that tricks like
these, tending TO injure American In
Huence, are unwise and ought to be
exposed

GENERAL OTIS' REPORT.

Declares the Latest Move OfHis Forces
a Great Success.
Washington, June 12.-The war de-
partment yesterday received a report
from Major General Otis of the mill
tary movement on Saturday to the
south of Manila for the purpose Of
clearing out the rebels in that section.
1t shows that the movement was a
great success, and that the enemy's
loss was considerably greater than
stated in the press dispatches. General
Otis cablegram is as follows:
Terrific heat yesterday did not per-
NIT troops to reach positions at hours
designated; enabled majority OF in
surgents to escape in scattered Or
ganizations south and westward, which
they effected during the evening and
night Movement great success, how
ever; enemy disoTganized and routed,
suffering heavy heavy loss; troops
resting today at Las Pinas and Paran-
aque. Navy did excellent execution
along shore Of bay but many insur-
gent detachments retired In that dl-
rection, protected by the presence Of
women and children, whom they drove
along with them. Our loss four killed
and some thirty wounded Conserva-
tive estimate of enemy's loss abouC
four hundred"

Buffalo, June 12.-The strike of the
freight handlers at the Erie docks for
an advance of one cent an hour i'll
wages was considered at a meeting of
the freight handlers union yesterday
afternoon and a sympathetic strike of
the inside workers, or house men, in
all of the freight houses was ordered
None of these men reported for duty
this morning. About 1000 men have
been called out. and this virtually
throws twice as many more out of
work, as the outside workers refuse
to carry freight into the houses, and
should non-union men be employed for
inside work the outside men will quit.
From present appearances a general
tie up, as far as freight boats are con-
cerned, is certain for the time being.

PASSING events show that the great
majority of the inhabitants of Cuba
are well-disposed toward the United
States. A few ambitious politicians
are anxious to hurry our forces out of
the island in order to try schemes of
their own, but the people in general
are not acknowledging their leader
ship. This fact is apparent in the
acceptance by the enlisted men of
the money offered by the United
States. They refuse to listen to the
heroics of hothead officers who want
to use them for future political ends.
Common sense assures the Cubans
that the $4,000, 900 is rendered to aid
disbanding soldiers to make a fresh
start in civil life and not as a bribe,
nor with any Interior designs.

Don't Tear Down.

A man can build better than he
knows, but he can't tear down half as
well as he thinks he can. 1t looks so
easy to tear down, especially in social,
business, religious and political life,
but there seems to be an immutable
law that those who attempt rarely if
ever succeed, and when success comes
it is deceptive and short-lived. This
fact can be traced in every business
community, where men come to grief
who try to build upon the ruin Of
others. People are not fond of trac-
ing the same thought in social or re-
ligious life, but in both the same
truth applies.
Military and naval circles are filed
with examples. Those who have
sought unselhshly to build, have
alone succeeded. This was true Of
Washington and Grant, it is true of
Dewey and Sehley. Political fields
are crowded with examples Aaron
Burr is case in point. He sought
to tear down, but the man whom he
killed in a duel, Alexander Hamilton,
still lives in the regard OF his country
men. The enemies Of De Witt Clinton
expelled him from the Erie Canal
board, a work in which he took great
pride, and the people made him
Governor of New York. Calhoun
sought to destroy, but Jackson check
mated him. Blaine sought to destroy
Conkling, and then each tried to de-
stroy the other, and neither ever
reached their goal. Pennsylvania
has many examples at this time, like
wise Schuylkill county.
Itis better to build it is better to
promote it is folly to trust to the
ease of pulling down.

There Was No Reasonable Excuse For

Austin, Tex, June 12.-Governor
Sayers yesterday made public the re-
port of Assistant Attorney General
Morris, who went to Athens, Hender-
son county, recently to investigate the
lynching of the Humphries brothers at
that place. The report states that the
united efforts of the state and county
officials have resulted in the appre-
hension of II persons charged with
being in the mob, and that the appre-
hension of all those believed to be
guilty will follow. The attorney gen.
eral says: Some of the people who are
arrested for this crime are in splendid
financial circumstances, and l am in
formed that some wealthy people near
by are Offering all the assistance they
need. There was not even a reason

Humphries boys had been charged
with stealing hogs from Joe WillIerson,
one of the men now in jail, but the

mony was very meager, and that the
