AND MEXICO TOO.
Is It Destined to Come Under the
Stars and Stripes

New York, July 29.-The Rev. DR..
Robert S. Macarthur, pastor of Calvary
Baptist church in West 57th street, has
just returned to this city after
months vacation which he spent in
study of conditions in Cuba and Mexico.
In Mexico, he said, he found a well or
dered republic, though not in the Amer
lean sense, ably administered, and as
progressive as the people of that coun-
try, he thought in their present state of
superstition, could be expected to be.
In Cuba, he said, he found chaos from
which is slowly emerging another cOun-
try. or another state Of the union.
''Of Cuba, under American rule" said
DIR. Macarthur, ''it must be said that
there is evidence of the greatest in
crease in business, of greater security
and confidence and of the brightest
hopefulness. The first thought that one
has in Mexico, in Cuba, and in all the
islands of the Caribbean is that destiny
holds all these lands in trust for our
country. This seems clearly to be what
the future has in store for US. 1 felt
this when 1 was in Mexico and saw
magnificent realm, a so-called republic,
ruled by a very able man, but a dicta-
tor, whom they call president" I felt
it again when saw the American flag
floating above MORO and Cabanas. I
said to myself, it can never come
down
This is not mere dreaming" said the
state of feeling, in Cuba especially to-
ward the United States. There seem to
be three sentiments or opinions. One,
of the Spaniards, who still remain in
large numbers in the island, that is very
strongly and positively in favor of an
nexation. They fear the effect upon
them of Cuban government. The sec
ond sentiment is that held by a large
number of Cubans, many of whom have
been educated in this country. These
believe as far as 7 could learn, that il
might be to the highest advantage of
Cuba to have the United States estab-
lish a protectorate, looking to ultimate
annexation. The third sentiment is that
held now by those who have made
many sacrifices for the dream of a re-
public. Many of these are young men
who are ambitious and who want the
experiment of a free republic tried, al
though they admit that it would be a
somewhat rash experiment. This third
class is very numerous and 1 believe
that if a plebiscite could be had now,
Cuba would decide upon an independ-
ent republic. 1 think, however, that
this serstimen is declining. The people
have seen some of the benefits of en-
lightened and progressive government,
are becoming converted to American
ideas and are beginning to love the
American flag as their own"

CALL 1T TOMBILLY.''
Topeka Man Invents a Name For the
Automobile.

To the Editor Of the State Journal.
The age of the automobile is upon US
and the critter will soon be cavorting
about our streets. 1t is very important
that we should unite upon a popular
name for the machine and not be rent
and torn by dissension later on. AL
ready have the giant intellects of the
country been at work to invent a short
and poetic name but so far have utter
" failed. 'Mobe' is too vulgar and
rhymes too easily with 'microbe" ard
"disrObe." 'Autogo'' is altogether I'M
poetical and commercial. Now 1 have a
name that is at once f1oWery, smooth
and suggestive and taken from the full
Christian names of the new locomotive
It is ''Tombilly" This will appeal to
the boys as the correct thing. 1 expect
no price for the invention, but only de-
sire to serve the travelling public with a
long felt want. PRO Bono-Pu blico.

A NICE PLOT SPOILED.
Young Woman Sends Poisoned Fruit
to Herself

San Francisco, July 29-The mystery
of the sending of a basket of poisoned
glazed fruit to Miss Florence Campbell
of 60 Ellis street has been solved by
Chief Of Police Lees and the result
shows that there was no attempt made
to take life and that no one was even
made Ill by the poisoned fruit. 1t APP
pears that Miss Campbell sent the pois-
Oned fruit to herself in furtherance of
a little plot by which she hoped to keep
her name from figuring as co-respon-
dent in a divorce suit.
According to the confession which has
been made by Miss Campbell, the bas-
ket of glazed fruit was sent on June 20
to $40 Ellis street, where Miss Camp
bell has been living with John r Rath-
ON 1t was claimed at first that Miss
Campbell and Mrs. Elsie Scheib had
been made i'll by eating the fruit The
police learned of the case and an inves-
tigatiOn was made by Chief Lees. who
after hearing Miss Campbell identified
as a recent purchaser of arsenic con-
nected her with the basket and the pur-
chase of the glazed fruit. Confronted
with these discoveries. Miss Campbell
confessed her plot. The results of the
investigation We're laid before the dis
trict attorney who stated that the Cali
fornia- law did not cover the case. There
will, consequently, be no prosecution
and there will be no police interference
with Miss Campbells announced plan

Of her. Sir Thomas Upton and a par
ty of friends went down the bay at

eral of his friends, was transferred
with difficulty to the Shamrock. After
shaking hands with Navigator Hamil-
ton, Captains Hogarth and Wringe and
with all the crew and wishing them
God speed and a quick and safe pas
sage, Sir Thomas returned to the tug.
AS he left the yachts side the Sham
rock crew lined UP on the vessels side
and gave the yacht owner three hearty
cheers. Sir Thomas will leave for
home at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
1t is expected the Shamrock will get
under way before the sailing time of
the st. Louis so as to be out on her
way to Sandy Hook when the steamer
passes out to sea. Navigator Hamil-
ton expects to take a southern route in
crossing the Atlantic, so as to be clear
of the ocean liners tracks. He hopes
to reach Glasgow in 20 days.

MORE RECRUITS.
Still an Opportunity for Young America
to Serve Uncle Sun.

still an Opportunity for Young America
to Serve Uncle sam.
New York, Oct. 31.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Notwithstanding that all of the new
volunteer regiments have their full
quota of men, there is still chance
for young America" to serve his
country in the Philippines Porto Rico
or Cuba. Army recruiting is to go
right along to fill existing vacancies
in all of the places, but under some
what different system. Orders will be
issued in day or two relieving 100 Of
ficers now on recruiting service, to
take effect December / next, and clos
ing some temporary recruiting rendez-
vouses. Instead of more than 100 sta
tons there will be only AZ after the
date mentioned
Dispatches We're sent to General
Otis. General Brooke and General Da
Wis a few days ago directing them to
designate one officer from each regi-
ment in their respective commands for
recruiting service. Commanding officers
in the United States have also been
asked to designate one officer from each
regiment serving in this country. The
details made in this way will give a
force of AZ officers, especially assigned
for recruiting duty for a period of
two years. This is a larger force than
detailed for this service prior to the
war; as detail of each Of the seven
artillery regiments is to the war, as a
detail of each of the seven to be allow
ed.
Heretofore only cavalry and infan-
try officers have been engaged on re-
cruiting duty. 1t is expected that
there will be a great clamor among
the officers serving in Cuba and Porto
Rico to secure these details as the
assignments will bring them home,
where they can be with their families.
That there may be no favoritism at
his end of the line, the secretary has
decided to leave the selection entirely
in the hands of commanding officers.
The army is now recruited to within
10000 men of it's authorized strength
of 100000 men. 1t is estimated that
vacancies will occur in the Philippines
by reason of casualties and expira-
ton of terms of service at the rate
of about 500 a month and at about
the same rate among the troops in
the United States and Cuba and Porto
Rico, making about 1000 men that will
be required each month

RAILROAD BUBBLE BURSTS.
Joe Johnson's Union and Seven Devils
Railroad is Defunct.

Baker Democrat.
Mr. S. o. Swackhamer, of Union
has filed an attachment upon the plant
of the U. G &. K. R. R, at Union,
the cinnamon have dispersed, and in
the future as in the past the road
will exist only in the imagination of
its promulgators.
The history Of this bursted bubble
is interesting. Several months since,
one Jos. Johnson, ostensibly of New
York, entered into an arrangement
with local parties, whereby they we're
to furnish depot grounds and give a
bonus of $500 for the first ten miles
of road constructed, paying 1850 as
each mile of road was completed.
A grading outfit was brought on
and forty or fifty Cinnamon imported.
Mr.. Swackhamer donated five acres
of ground for depot purposes and
this not being considered enough,
sold five acres more for $500 of which
$3.50 was TO be paid down and the
balance at a stated time, the deed re-
naming iu escrow until the balance
was paid.
