GEN. GOMEZ HECOGNa2ED.


Havana, Jan. 81 For the first
time since the peace protocol was
signed, President Mckinley has
taken an active interest in Cuban

The Insurgents in the Philip

have peace with dignity. Better
give them banquet with $1,000
plates and let it 60 at that.
The size of schOoners will be

is not attributed to the Cars

a heavy tax that has just been

A washer woman over in Wis

A "con'' man of New York has
started for Havana with the
avowed purpose of opening a
matrimonial agency. He says he
has reformed and that his bust
ness is a laudable one. If he
succeeds in getting the Cubans tc

right.
Imported poodle dogs are get

York. Just as soon as the colored
gentry begin sporting around
with canine beauties, the fad will
cease.
Earthquakes are happening
daily in Wyoming. The Repub-
licans out there think they are
caused by the violent kicking OF
of the democrats against the gold
standard.
Ambassador Choate's post
dial witticisms are so bright that
some of the nobility must wear
glasses to protect their eyes.
Things are assuming such a
position that the members of the
Thirteenth Minnesota will be
ashamed to acknowledge that
they belonged to it.
