A Meteor.
Glendale Leader.

Glendale Leader.
Last Saturday afternoon about
3 o'clock the people of Dickey
county heard an explosion, some
describing it as that of a boiler ex-
plosion, others said it was like
clap Of thunder, and few thought
it an earthquake. At 8 o'clock
that evening Edgeley reported
meteor "half the size of a house
and SO hot no one could get within
hundred yards of it." Nh. Lake,
residing south Of Edgeley four
miles, says he saw the meteor and
describes it about the size of
"candy JAR" going in a north
westerly direction, and being as
high as white clounds which fire.
quently pass. It was emitting
stream of fire and finally burst,
throwing out balls of fire Of var
ious colors, like a sky rocket. A
lady who saw the phenomenon says
it looked like ball Of silver pas
sing through the air. The shock
was felt by people all over the
county.

more suitable place and one easier
of access was rendered to the club
by U. S. Marshal Hurst He has
donated the use of his rooms on
the first floor in the court house to

Mr.. Hurst, and the citizens will
join the club in appreciating the
liberal offer.
The club will give "book re-

which all interested in a library
are very cordially invited. The
object of this reception is to give
everyone an opportunity to donate
such books as they have in their
possession and do not care to keep
to our public library. If there
are any who prefer to give money,
it will be gratefully received, for
there are many books to be bought,
beside cards and shelves. It is

an interest in this movement.

cuban Insurgents Anxious to Know ii
Uncle Sam Is Going to Pay Them.
HAVANA, Jan. 4.-The continuance OF
the Cubans in arms is the most puz.
cling question connected with the ad.
ministration of the island. The nego.
tiations for the payment Of the soldiers
are to be conducted from Washington
so as to relieve General Brooke of this
difficulty. For the present the Cuban
commanders are holding their men
closely together and under discipline.
General Davis, military governor OF
Pinar del Rio, has gone into the matter
fully with General Mario Menocal and
other Cuban commanders. They say
that they expect the United States to
pay them and that they Will not disband
until they get an answer. The majority
OF military observers seem to think that
Probably the Easiest Way Out
is to make the payment, taking a mort.
gage on the revenues of Cuba in the
form of bonds. There are probably 49,.
600 men able to work, but now spongine
on their country. If paid off on condi.
ton that their arms were surrendered
they would have no excuse for not
working.
The United States military authorities
do not look with favor upon the notion
OF forcible disarmament. General
Brooke has received the following dis.
patch from General Simon Snyder,
military governor of the department OF
Santa Clara:
Certain Cuban forces in the district
OF Casilda, the port of Trinidad, have
surrendered their arms"
First Days Custom Receipts.
There are II vessels in Havana harbo,
unloading and the customs entries TO,
the first day figure about 81, 900. the
receipts in cash being $15,221. This is
at the rate Of $13,O 900, 900 a year. the
best Spanish record having been 50, OOO..
600.
A general housekeeping in all the
public buildings is an immediate ne.
cessity. General and Mrs. Brooke
looked through the palace during the
day. Eye and nose were offended at
what they encountered. The living
apartments, as we'll as the Offices. are
insufferably dirty and it would taketwc
weeks to clean them. General Brooke
now governs the island from one room
IN a small hotel.
