CUBAN BINDITS,

Twenty-Five Now in the Military Prison
of Santiago.
Santiago de Cuba, April 6.-There are
now twenty-tw bandits in the Santia- =
go military prison. Major General
Wood, the military governor, is actively
suppressing disturbances from this
source. Yesterday four bandits from
San Luis and three from Guantanamo
were brought in. There is not little
excitement over the operations Of the
outlaws, and rumors are in circulation
regarding troubles in the district of Hol-
guin, but the present efforts of the mil
itary authorities will soon assure safety
on all parts of the province. There is
no foundation for the report that the
Cuban general Jose Miro has been in
any way involved in the disturbances
On the contrary, he has assured General
wood of his active co-oueration in put
ting down brigandage.

FUTURE OF GENERAL GOMEZ
10 RESUME HIS PLAN OF SOLIDI-
FYING THE CUBAN PEOPLE.
His Aim the Creation of u Party That
Shall, without Ceasing, Urge the
United States to Withdraw From the
1sland-Meeting of Cuban Generals

Island Meeting of Cuban Generals
Favorable to Gomez.
Havana, April 6.-The Cuban military
assembly being dead, General Maximc
Gomez will take up his programme OF
solidlfying the Cuban people into g
party that shall, without ceasing, urge
the United States to withdraw from the
island. His purpose is to make the peo-
pie seem to have but one emotion, one
of absolute separation from the United
States. General Gomez considers the
dissolution of the assembly as his per-
sonal achievement, aided by the mill
tary administration here and counten-
anced at Washington. He believes that
he energies from the controversy with
the assembly stronger than ever with
the better classes His theory is that
the Cubans who before thought him
merely an adriot guerilla chief are now
prepared to regard him as a political
leader and that few days more will
chief of the army.
Yesterday the Cuban general, Pedero
Diaz, who commands in the province of
Pinar del Rio invited several generals
and brigade commanders who are
friendly to Gomez to a conference re-
garding the latter's future course. AS
many who We're invited were at some
distance from Havana and could not
arrive here in time for the meeting,
there were only a few actually present;
but the possibility of reinstating Gomez
as commander-n-ch vas formally
discussed, with the result that little or
no opposition to the proposition devel-
oped. In order to get a more general
expression of opinion it was decided to
defer the general meeting until to-mor-
row morning. No other candidate is
possible and if any such action is at
tempted, it will undoubtedly be carried
through.
General Gomez, if reinstated, would be
of great service to the United States in
the disbursement of the $3,O00,000 but
his political programme means the
keeping up of the agitation and dis
turbance in the minds of the people and
the weakening Of American authority
by producing the impression that every
thing done by the Americans Is tenn
porary and may sooner or later be over
turned American observers consider
any such agitation as extremely harm
full to the industrial revival and the
restoration of Cuban credit. Some who
are high in authority and who have ex-
ceptional opportunities of knowing the
character and ideas Of Gomez, think the
United States government may have
trouble with him yet. His attitude has
always been consistent regarding inde-
pendence for Cuba and he is still work.
ing for the same end His character
is narrow, resolute, arbitrary, exacting
and likely to make him a constant dis

"Rent-Ra,npers' Picplcs."

The phases of life in the great city
of London are 30 infinitely varied that
very few people indeed, even of those
who have read in the newspapers of
the iniquities of ''key" money and
the like, know, that over wholesmiles
of ground in the East End of London
the landlords of poor dwellings are
expected to give their tenants treat
or picnic annually, just as great coun-
try landlords give a yearly dinner.
The custom obtains also in regard to
the whole of Deptford and district,
ever where the lowliest dwellings are
concerned, and the landlords take all
men,, women and children-on q

Blackheath, the children being treated
to sweet nuts, whelks, swings and 30
on, while their elders enjoy more full
favored delights.
In the Mile End district, the custom
has become so universal that the land
lords treats are known to all as
"Rent-Rampers'. Pionics," and the

the greater request in that the latter
are reputed to give such downright

"StayIn' Up Late"

Every one who has ever been q
child will recall that sense of injury
entailed by being sent to bed early
that conviction that you are being de-
prived of the most interesting part of
the whole day. There is really no
knowing what the elders are up to
when once they get the youngsters
tucked up safe in bed, but it stands
to reason it must be very interesting,
or why would they be in such hurry
to get the youngsters out of the way?
With some children this amounts to
more than mere feeling. It was lit
tie girl OF the latter sort who begged
so hard to sit up just for once that her
mother one evening, not long ago,
said that she might. How the little
girls eyes danced at the prospect of
all the wonderful things she would
see for herself upon this, her first oc-
casion of "sitting upr How COM
miseratingly she regarded the other
children, who were as usual packed off
to bed at an early hour. She seated
herself in her small chair, and eagerly
awaited developments.
But imagine her surprise when her
parents, as was their custom, seated
themselves at the library table, and
unsocisbly, but hygienically, turning
their backs to the light, began to read.
For some time the small girl rocked
away in her small chair in silence.
Then came sleepy, plaintive voice:
"Is this all you do?"-Cincinnati En-

Utility OF Wire Nails.

There has been much complaint
about the wire nails which have been
so popular for a few years past that
they rust very quickly, and shingles
or boards put on with them are loose
in few years. We have heard of
one case where man reported that a
patch of shingles about yard square
was blown from his roof only some
four or five years after they were put
on. We have used these nails and
liked them, as easily driven, and not
liable to split the shingles, but if they
have this fault one had better pay
more for the cut nails. Those who
are having buildings built or repaired
will do we'll to insist on the cut nails
only, until this defect is remedied.-

Garden For Poultry.

The poulterer on the farm possesses
every advantage over the man con-
fined to one or two city lots. While,
in our experience, free range of the
farm is not the best way to raise fine
poultry, yet we duly appreciate the
foods we nay raise and feed fresh
from the garden to our poultry. In
our experience the fowls at large do
not confine themselves to picking up
the waste, but rather choose to take
their rations from horse managers and
pig troushs. They,fatten on corn and
perhaps the men complain with justice
"that the hens eat their heads off,"
We find it better to have yards of
medium size, and we have about made
up our minds that hens at large are
not much improvement on hogs at
large, and what woman can put up
with hogs in the door yard? But if
hens are yarded they must be fed and
there is room on the farm to plant a
garden for the chickens, What shall
we plant? We must have lettuce, OF

Brushes For the Hair.

Perhaps at one time, two brushes,
one for The hair, and one for the
clothing, were considered sufficient
number. The up.to-date woman
knows that she must have brushes
and brushes. There are the long
handled brushes for the bath, and the
brushes with no handles at all, but
with mere straps, and these are also
for the bath. For the hair, choose
long soft brushes that may cleanse the
scalp without breaking or splitting
the hair. There are persons who
cling to the rubber brushes for the
complexion, but it is through mis-
taken idea as to their efficacy. A
horse-hair mitten is sometimes used
in place of the bath brush, and has
much to recommend it. As to clothes
brushes, at least three varieties are
needed. A good hard brush for mud,
a soft brush for the popular velvet,
and a long-haired busting brush TO,

One of the brightest young Porto
Ricans who figured in the late war is
Senior Miguel Sanchez, who is now in
this country in the interest OF the
Porto Rican public school system. He
was at one time on the staff of General
Gomez in Cuba, and he tells many in
cidents concerning that doughty old
fighter.
"I was skimming one of the New
York Sunday newspapers while 1 was
in the generals headquarters in Cuba,
said the senior the other day, "and it
was the first to reach US for several
months. I noticed an article on the
newly discovered movements OF the

anything without being invited him.

material for soiled wall papers, but it
is not so generally known that pic.

way. Professor Church, of London,
to whom has been intrusted the clean.

a perfect cloud of bread crumbs. This
is said to be the most effective way Of
removing the SCOT and dirt.
