HUNTING IN CUBA.

Cuba is paradise for the sportsman.
wild game and fish of all kinds being
abundant.
Parties Of gentlemen on horseback,
with their pack of hounds, hunt the
fleet-footed deer. 1t is a common thing
for a small party to kill eight or ten
deer in day.
The wild boar is plentiful, and some

ly the old master of the herd, called
'un solitario," which will tear dog
to pieces or make green hunter climb
a tree, but Cuban easily kills him
with a machete. The island boar some
times weighs 200 or 300 pounds, and
has huge tusks, often five or six inches
in length. The meat of the female is
much relished by the natives. Wild
dogs and cats, wild cattle, horses and
jackasses abound. But the jutia pecu-

and rabbit, and which lives in the
trees and feeds on nuts and leaves, is
the great delight of the Cuban.
Fowls are in great numbers. Wild
guinea hens and turkeys are found in
hocks OF from twenty-five to 100. The
whistle of the quail and the flutter of
the pheasant and perdiz are heard on
all sides in the rural and mountain
regions. Ducks in abundance come
over from Florida in the winter and
return with the spring. Wild pigeons,
with their white tops and bodies of
blue, larger somewhat than the domes-
tic bird, offer. in hunting, the greatest
sport to gentlemen who will be re-
strained within reason. In the early
mornings the pigeons generally go to
feed on the mangle berries when ripe,
and which grow by the sea or near
some swampy place. A party of three
persons have been known to kill 1,500
of the pigeons within few hours.
Robiches, toiosas and guyuaros are
found in the thick woods.

liant plumage fit from tree to tree.
There are GAL distinct species of fish
in the Cuban waters. Among those
that delight the sportsman are the red
snapper, lista, manta, gallego, cubera,
surela and garfish. The sierra, which
weighs from forty to sixty pounds, is
extremely game, as is the romeo so
called because it snores when brought
out Of the water. For heavy sport,
fishing for sharks, which are good for
nothing, or the gusa, which weighs
from 400 to 600 pounds and is excel
lent eating, offers abundant exercise.
Delicious shrimps, crabs and lob
sters, clans and oysters abound. The
Holsters have no claws and weigh from
two to eight pounds. They are caught
at night in shallow places along the
sandy beach, torch, harpoon and net
being the necessary outfit. Some of
the rivers abound in alligators, but few
hunt them.

There was much joy created among
the employees OF the William Penn col
liery, at Shenandoah, on Tuesday, when
notice was posted by Superintendent
William ii. Lewis that the sSusqnehanna
Coal Company, Of Nanticoke, had taken
the renewal Of the lease, saving the
mines from abandonment. The fifteen
year-lease of Stickney, Cunningham Il
Co., OF New York city, who operated the
colliery heretofore, expired on Saturday
last, and the company refused to take n
renewal because the Girard estate de-
clined to reduce the rate of royalty.
The colliery employs 500 men and boys,
and is large shipper.

A BLOW TO M'KINLEY's HOPES
Aguinaldo May Drag Out the War to
the Next Rainy Season.
Baltimore Sun

Washington. Nov 3D. Today's news
from the Philippines apparently deals a
fatal blow to the Presidents hope of an
nouncing to Congress on its assembling
the capture or effectuai dispersion Of
Aguinaldo and his army.
General Otis, in the security Of his
palace in Manila, seems to be founder
ing around in the dark as to what is
really going o.l i'm the field. His dis
patches do not tally with the press ac-
counts or with the reports of Lawton,
Macarthur and Young. General Otis
still evincesa a belief in the early cap
ture of Aguinaldo because he is able
to send daily reports Of the taking of a
few scattered Filipinos with a brass can
non or two, or something Of that kind.
If General Otis is right in his conclu-
sions, Aguinaldo may be forced to give
battle today or tomorrow or any time,
but the men who are leading the fight
ing do not attempt to conceal their fears
that the willy Filipino has again slipped
through the skillfully drawn meshes
WHICH were thought certain to hold him
tight 1t may be that one Of the divis-
ion generals will yet catch up with him,
but it is evident the CHANCES are the
willy fellow has gotten into the noun
tains. and with by far the larger portion
of his forces intact.
If he has really effected this, and
has from 10000 to 10000 men with him,
with artillery and supplies, he will inn
pose upon our commanders the necessity
of new movement and a new plan or
campaign.
Should Aguinaldo get through on the
other side Of the mountains. he will have
for his advantage wide stretch of coun-
try to continue his Fabian tactics and
wear out and discourage a largely supe-
rior invading army. Military experts say
he might have it in his power to pro-
tract the campaign until the advent of
another rainy season. Every one knows
what this would. mean in blood and
treasure. 1t is said the privation and
suffering to which our men We're sub
ect in this last movement, which has 50
signally failed, is awful beyond descrip-
ton.

A NEGRO ON THE NEGRO.
DR.. Scruggs has Some Wise Words to
Say to His Race.

DR.. L. A. Scruggs. a negro physician
and editor of the Southern Saintarium, y
Southern Pines. in a recent issue of
that publication has the following to
say on the Negro question in the South:
This poor and unfortunate fellow
seems to be Il wanderer and a stranger
in a weary land for he has been dis
cllssed more times than can be number
ed.
To-day the civilized world has its eye
upon HIM He is very much to be COM
pared with the children of Israel in their
Journey through the wilderness.
God will bring him out if he will
only put himself in the line of His Pro
whence, for he is a just judge who
will not be partial He will note his
faults as we'll as his merits.
ITO speak of the Black Man in North
Carolina, we would suggest that his
prospective future is bright-howeyer,
that is in his own hands largely. He
needs to think more and labor more,
and save more and talk less. Let him
resolve to do right for the sake of being
right. He cannot afford to do wrong or
be wrong because, as he says. some
other man is doing wrong. This will
not mitigate his punishment for wrong
doing Let him observe the Golden
Rule: Therefore all things Whatsoever
We would that men should do to you, do
We even 50 to them; for this is the law
and he prophets" Matt. Z: II.
''He needs to care less for politics and
follow less some of his present political
leaders and turn his care to his home,
his race, his church and not least his
God.
THE white man of the South, and Of
this State, who knows him best, is his
friend. Let negroes believe this notwith-
standing recent local race trouble in the
Virginia, Georgia, South Caro-
lima and Tennessee have also had their
little petty race troubles. Let the ne
gro in North Carolina do the best thing
by being patient, prayerful, industrious.
wise and prudent and he shall do well
and prosper right here in North Caro-
lima.
THE South is his home and here he
will ever be found in great numbers.
Let him make his neighbor his friend
by recognizing his interests and the
white mans interests as mutual. Let
him live and board at the same place
in his own well kept home"
