CALLS CUBA TO ARMS
One Betancourt, Who Would Hurl
the Crafty Eagle" from
the island.
sCREED PUBLISHED IN MATANzAs,

Which Experienced Residents of the Pearl
of the Antilles Think Bodies Possible
Evil in the Future-AppeaI TO the Late
Insurgents to Turn Their Guns on Uncle
Sans Boys-No Flag in Cuba but the
Cuban.
Havana, July 15.-Many Cuban pa
pers fatty deny the existence of pilots"
against American visitors who remain
here few days and then return to the
United States, but there is undoubted-
~ considerable element endeavoring
to SOW dissensions among the Cubans
and using every means to array them
against the Americans. The province
of Matanzas. dyiich is supposed to be
the most peaceable district, has such
malcontents within its borders. Re
Gently 1000 leaflets were issued in the
city of Matanzas in the form of an adj
dress to the people in the following
vein:
Would Make War on the Eagle.
"Cubans-you men of honor whom
Spanish bullets respected and whom
fever and hunger only served to make
doubly strong-your mother country
calls you to make her stronger and
grander because there are those vino
wish to humiliate her. You who have
been proved in fray and hardship; you
who have helped to convert your fam
lily hearthstones into bread, clothing,
medicine or arms; you who have been
ready to give your very lives, even
when you would have left your adored
ones to miserable orphanage, oknow
only the pain of living by mental toll,
their beautiful eyes full of tears; you
whose women were born to be happy
only as their country is ffee-you
that mother asks TO be ready to hurl
from the country the crafty eagle, as
you have removed the naughty and
hungry Spanish lion.
Cuban Flag Must Float Supreme.
LET one thought only be ours. So
long as our flag does not fiutter from
Cape Maisi to Cape San Antonio there
will be only ruin, desolation and van
dalism for our fertile fields, our rich
treasures, our wealth and our beauty.
The Americans deceive us. They
tyranniZe US. They are masters of our
palaces and forts. They make a dis
play of wealth and power, and reduce
us to the level of men without coun-
try and without Il faith. No. This can
not continue. The intervening power
must keep its promises or give quanti-
ties of blood to pay for its ambition.
Be ready to answer the cry of the
country. While we men do our duty
let our sisters, if necessary, convert
their jewels into rifles and cannon, as
they have already done. Let them at
the same time make bandages of lint
to staunch the blood of liberty. There
will be with you all the soul of your
chief. BETANCOURT."
Significant of Future Possibilities.
One copy of this pronunciamento
is in the possession of General Ludlow.
The name Betancourt is common
among the Cubans, and while an adj
dress like this-though inflaming the
passions of those who read it-scarcely
points to any present danger, still, in
the opinion of men prominent in Ha-
vana business circles, it indicates
some possibilities of the future.

UNIFORMLY FAVORABLE
Are the New Features of the Trade Situa-
ton Developed This Week.

Are the New Features of the Trade Situa-
ton Developed This Week.
New York, July 15.-Bradstreet's
says: New features in the general trade
situation this week are of an almost
uniformly favorable character. So rare,
indeed, are disturbing features as to
necessitate considerable search to To-
cate them. Additional statistics ofpast
trade movements received are certain
y of an encouraging nature, foremost
among these being exceptionally good
railroad earnings for June and the first
half of the year, and ascertained to-
tails of an enormous export trade, prac-
tically equal to the phenomenal BUSH
ness of the preceding fiscal year.
For a number of reasons the outlook
seems to favor the probability that Eu-
rope will buy nearly as much wheat in
America as it did in the last fiscal year.
In industrial lines the outlook is .
promising one. The settlement of the
coal miners strike in Pennsylvania,
and of the tin plate workers dispute,
bid fair to result in nearly 60, 900 men
resuming work after the summer shut
down. a number of wage increases are
also among the weeks developments.
The price situation is naturally strong
one, wheat and coffee alone of all the
prominent staples being lower on the
week, and the former only fractionally
so.

CONJURED A TREATY.
How Houdin, the Magician, Awed tn e
Arabs Into Submission.

Arabs Into Submission.
During the French conquest of Al
geria (1S30-1S33) negotiations for peace
were entered upon with the sheiks of
certain Arab tribes. and meeting for
the settlement of terms was arranged to
take place at the French headquarters.
The French officers received their guests
with great hospitality, and after the
banquet given in their honor, at which
the utmost splendor was employed, in
order to dazzle their eyes and captivate
their simple minds. an adjournment
was made to large hall, where NJ.
Houdin. the celebrated conjurer. who
had accompanied the French forces.
gave an exhibition of his skill
They stared in open mouthed wonder
at all the tricks that We're performed.
and feeling of awe crept over them as
they witnessed the mysterious appear
ance and disappearance of various OBJ
jects. But what appeared to them most
marvellous was the apparent manufac-
ture of cannon balls. NJ. Houdin passed
round among them high hat, which
they examined very carefully, but with
out suspecting anything unusual in eli
Their its make or its appearance. When
the hat was returned to him the con-
jurer placed it ON the floor in the mid
die of the stage in full view of his au
dience. He then proceeded to take from
the hat cannon balls apparently with
out number, and rolled them across the
floor into the wings. With this the per
Torrance terminated.
The chiefs then consulted among
themselves and came to the conclusion
that it was useless to offer any opposi-
ton to an army that could turn out its
ammunition in SO easy manner. They
therefore signed the required treaty and
departed to tell their friends in the
desert of the wonderful power of the
invaders. Cincinnati ENQUIRER

Extra Importance.


Los Angeles, July 15.-The National
Educational association convention is
numbered with the events that are
past, but will live in the memory as
one of the most notable events held
and the one most numerously attended
there having been over 1900 visiting
teachers registered here. AT the gen.
eral session yesterday the pavilion was
crowded to excess. There was one
paper read at the morning session by
superintendent Aaron Cove, of Denver
on the "Usurpation of the Home by
School," that was of vast Importance
The growth of paternalism, the
speaker urged, reaches over to the
schools. and much of the training
formerly done at home is now rele-
gated to the school. The severe re-
ligious and effective discipline of the
early American home is disappearing

Tulsa, I. T., July 15.-Judge Thomas,
of the federal court, ordered stay of
the execution of the sentence against
William Going, an Indian condemned
