he, I'VE must produce all we
consume, and have some

Some News Concerning Western

number some have sold out

some have gone TO Newport

OF those who sold ont and
returned West we want To
say n few words, This class
of people mostly came here
with barely enough to pay
car fare and rented or bought
a farm on credit, expecting
TO pay for their farms on
what they made ont of the
land. Some OF these people
did not actually own Il horse,
pillow, or anything to work
with. They got disguised.
Wei. why shouldn't they ?
How could people make a
success under such circum-
stances? Perhaps these peo-
pie say that it Is impossible
TO do anything in Virginia.
But they do not speak the
truth? Have they treated
our section honestly, III view
OF the statement above?
However, some have re-
turned for various reasons.

They point to the admission of War De
partment official yesterday as sufficient
evidence Of their assertion.
The official stated that, should the court
find Eagan guilty and sentence him TO
dismissal from the army. he will apply for
a mandamus on Secretary Alger, requiring
him to restore the accused officer to his
rank and duties as Commissary General

has resulted from the use by the latter
of yituperative and filthy language before

CUBAN FACTION

Processes Hostility to the Idea
of Annexation.
Would Make Gomez President
Without Any Delay.
InimicaI, But Wants Big Loan
From the American Government
TO Pay Unfriendly Soldiers.

Advices received by Senior Quesada, the
Cuban representative in this city, report
a better feeling among the Cubans on the
island and a reign of quiet.
Counsel Rubens OF the Cuban Commits
sion, is still in Washington, comp citing
the work of the late General Garcia and
his associates. The proclamation of the
commission, which was issued several
weeks ago. mas been scattered througho
the island and the commissioners are now
al their homes in Cuba.
II has been learned that General Gomez
is now stationed at Remedies in Santa
Clara province. General Gomez is still Of
fcially at the head of the army of Cuba
and will remain there until the troops are
paid of.
Strong anti-annexation sentiment is
being shown throughout the province and
both Spanish and Cuban interests are
banded for the establishment of the Cuban
republic. Demonstrations OF this order
were recently held at Caibarien. and il is
stated that Gomez Will proceed to Santa
Clara city within a week for the purpose
OF arousing another demonstration for the
United Party of Independence. of viii h
he is the leader and candidate for the
presidency Of the Republic To be.
Counsel Rubens is looking after certain
matters which were preached to this Gov
eminent by the Cuban Commission. One
Of these is the loan 10 pay OFF the Cub n
troops. There has been some hitch in the
granting of this loan, as the amount now
demanded is nearly $4,000. eco. II is
claimed that this amount would pay CT

sum of 81 600 TO each man could not be
considered too much for from four to six
years service.

ton by the Cuban Commission. only

cry. and II is reported that Generals La
cret and Portuondo have issued strong
statements against annexation. The latter
is president Of the Cuban Assembly. and
has always been very sympathetic toward
this Government.
His statement says that even though a
plebiscite OF the Cuban people should re-
suit in a majority of the people voting
for annexation, the revolutionary party
Will not accept that decision. but will stu
claim absolute independence. OF course,
We could not last a month against the re-
sources and power of the Americans, but
we will die fighting for independence"
General Lacret has expressed his senti-
nents by the statement that the Cuban
Republic must and shall be established. "
Many members OF the Cuban Assembly
have expressed themselves as against an

The hubbub which Eagan is evidently
seeking TO continue even after the matter
of his calm and deliberate display OF
typewritten passion and nervous prostra-
ton is disposed OF, leads some officials to
believe that he is seeking to hold the
boards with his merry music TO the eX-
clusion of any epilogue General Miles may
seek to introduce. and also to distract at
tention from what may follow before the
brief matter is finally disposed OF.
In speaking OF Eagan's testimony before
the court yesterday a retired army officer
said:
The Commissary General testified that
owing to his worried condition he was
unable to eat sleep. II would have
been better for him had he also been
unable to write and dictate-to his stenog-
rainier and typewriter"

ranks for Freight Engines.

The use OF track tanks by which To-
comotives OF high speed passenger
trains may take water without stop
ming is almost universal on the larger
eastern roads, where fast expresses are
the rule. The b. & o. r. r.. has a
number between Washington and Phil
adelphia and intends to equip the en-
tire Main Line in the future. This de-
cision was recently arrived at through
the use of passenger locomotives,
equipped with water scoops, ON fast
freight trains. 1t was found that much
time was saved, danger from stopping,
being reduced to a minimum and cost
of running lessened. The extra stops
for water take much time and the wear
and tear on equipment is no small
matter. If the experiment on this part
of the road proves successful, track
