INTENTIONS REGARDING CUBA.
Taking of the Census Preliminary t
Autonomy In Localities.

Taking OF the Census Preliminary to
Autonomy In Localities.
1t is expected that the Presidents procla-
nation relating to the taking of the census
in Cuba will be made public at Havana
this afternoon. Although it Is we'll known
that the taking of the census is intended
as preliminary step TO the ultimate es-
tablishment of republican form of gov
ernment in Cuba, it is positively stated at
the War Department that there is nothing
in the proclamation to justify the assertion
that the United States intends to give i'm
mediate Independence to Cuba.
The taking of the census will be followed
by municipal elections and the Inaugural
ton of autonomy in localities where 1t Is
demonstrated that it is practicable and ex-
pedient. The taking of the census will re-
quire at least two months constant labor,
ana II is probable that the complete re-
turns Will not be tabulated before the be-
ginning OF next year. The termination Of
the existing military government is not
looked for, at the earliest, for several
months yet

  MOCCASINS.
mOse Rational Footwear, Especially for
 Sportsmen.

d0se Rational Footwear, Especially for
 spOrtsmen.
 Harper's Magazine. The moccasin is the most rational and comfortable Of all footwear. In moccasins the feet have full play; they can bend and grasp; there Is nothing to ehafe them or to impede circulation. In mocca- sins one can move like an acrobat crossing slender and slippery logs climbing trees, or passing with ease and security along dizzy trails on the mountain side where a slip might mean sure destruction. The feet do not stick fast in mud. In the north. when the mercury IS far below zero and no civilized boot will protect the feet from freezing. the savage suffers no inconvenience. His moecasins, stuffed with dried grass, let the blood course freely. The precipitation may freeze on the hay h a solid lump of lee, but the feet remain warm and dry. The buekskin moccasin, Indian tanned with deers' brains and wood smoke, always dries soft after wetting. Tn autumn, when all the leaves and twigs are dry as finder, a man wearing shoes makes noise in the forest like a troop of cav"'~y; but ia moccasins he can move swiftly through the woods with the stealth of a panther. The feet are not bruised, for after enjoying for time the freedom of natural cov- ering, these hitherto blundering mem bers become like hands, and feel their way through the dark like those of a cat, avoiding obstacles as though gift ed with a special sense. Best of all, the moccasin is light. Inexperienced sportsmen and soldiers affect high topped laced boots with heavy soles and hobnails, imagining that these are most seryieeable for rough weather. But these boots weigh between four and i've pounds, while a pair of thick moose hide moccasins weigh only Il ounces. In marching 10 miles mar wearing the clumsy boots lifts 20 tons more shoe leather than if he wore

One rainy day in spring, says Stray Stories, an old Yorkshire fisherman re- turned to hls native village after au absence of fifteen years, and fearfully sought the house which sheltered his deserted wife. Entering without knock ing. he seated himself near the open door, took long and vigorous pull at his dirty clap pipe, and nodded jerkily to "t'owd woman" ''Mornin. Maria, he said with affected uneoncern. She looked up from the potatoes she was peeling, and tried to utter the scathing tirade she had fully rehearsed since his departure; but it would not come.

 desperate, was oVerpowered and
 jailed at Memphis, Tenn., a few
 days ago. This negro's greatest crime, so far as the officers know, is
 the killing of three deputy sheriffs in DeSoto county. Mississippi. The apprehension of Littleield brlugs to light a number of unpleasant happenings. The most regrettable of these is the killing of young Louis Noryell, poor orphan boy, wbo had been arrested and charged with the murder of the three deputy sher- ifs, whom everybody thought were killed by Littlefeld, and many wert confident that the accused was en tirely innocent of the crime. At his trial DO evidence of convictlng na ture, whatever, was introduced anC being thoroughly acquainted witt the facts, Judge Stevens ordered th, prisoner liberated.

WHY ROBIN HAS A RED BREAST
One of Christs Comforters When He
 Hung on the Cross.

One of Christ's COmf0rters When He
 Hung on the Cross.
 Birds played part at the crucifxion, according to legend. After Jesus had been nailed to the cross two birds came and alighted on the extended arms of the instrument of death. One was a magpie. with beautiful aigrette on it's head and a long, waving tail, then the 1 handsomest of birds, but the Wiekedest, chirping insults at the suffering Jesus i The other bird was a modest little bird, with gray plumage, which approaches the cross timidly, uttering cries or grief. With its wings 1t tried to wipe away the binding sweat and blood from the face of Jesus, while with It's beak 1t tried to pluck away one of the thorns which was piercing Jesus fore head. A single drop of blood fell on the breast of the pitying little gray bird. and gave the world the robin red breast. And to it Jesus said: Blessed be thou, little bird, which sharest my sorrows. May joy accompany thee eY- anywhere. Thine eggs shall be as blue as the sky above; thou shalt be the bird of God, bearer of good tidings. As for thee," said he to the magpte, ''thou shalt be an accursed bird. Thou shalt lose that brilliant aigrette and the beautiful colors on which thou pridest myself so highly. Funereal bird, thy message shall be only evil, and the rain from heaven shall always fall into thy nest" The peasants of France, in accordance with this tradi- tion, pierce the heart Of magpie with 8 thorn whenever they catch one. In Spain the swallow Is considered the good bird, and they say that when the Roman soldiers pressed the crown Of thorns on Jesus brow the swallows came and tried to remove the thorns with their beaks. The Russians say that the swallows took away the nails which the executioners had brought, but the sparrows carried them back again. The Danish say that the moment ot the crucifixion the stork, moved with pity, cried "Styrkhain! Styrkhain!" God give him strengthD and since that time the stork has been consider ed sacred. It is also stated that Lon- ginus, the Roman soldier who pierced the side of Jesus with the spear, was converted on account of the blood which fell upon him. This was due to the cleansing power of that blood, according to the church, and his eyes were thus opened to the beauty of ho- Nness.-P Inquirer.

Los Angeles, Sept. 2:.-Ofiicial reports

Indians were dispersed and nine killed.
The Mexican loss was Eve killed and nine
wounded, among the latter Lieutenant

The report Of battle on the 18th i
also authentic and its statements may
be accepted. The forces under Hernandez,
number not stated, encountered 1000 In

between TORN and POtsm. The Indians
retired from the open field and sought
cover in the thick woods, where the COM
