reluctant to publicly express them When

Queer things happen on the race

story of how some people backed an out
slider because 1t was a white horse and
they had just seen a red-headed girl and
how they won sounds forced, but it is no
stranger than what happened TO a we'll
known man the day the Webster affair
came off at Guttenburg. He went to the
track with his card marked by a young
woman who did not know one horse from
another. Yet she marked his six straight
winners, and at the fifth he was over So
900 10 the good. Then he decided he could
not stand Torchlight, the DAILY cast-off, at
40 to / in the sixth race, and backed the
favorite at to and so lost nearly all of
his winnings, while Torchlight won east

cigar manufacturer who went to Sleeps
head and for fun turned back his roll of
bills and took the left-hand figure of the
number of one of them and backed the
Jockey, whose number correspondent. He
too had five straight wins and finally Fost

one knew that Sol Lichstenstein was prac-
Gated by the number, out of his book, and
Emin Bey won in a walk. He tried the
trick several times after but ii never went

Another racing man has a wife who
loves a horse dearly, and, without being
an expert, she is a good all-round judge of
a sound animal. When Domino was In his
prime she looked him over in

swaying motion of his loins, something as
a wolf moves, she recognized a wonderful
resemblance between him and a horse she

band was a strong Domino man and stood
to lose a lot, but she persuaded him to
hedge on Henry. Wen, the race was

the contents on an average, and the rest
was thrown away. because 1t was unfit
TO eat. The contents of the can, he said
would be about three-quarters suet, not
what you would call meat. Perhaps one
quarter or one-fifth of the can would be
good fiber meat; the rest appeared to be
tailings or clippings. Sometimes a can
would be entirely spoiled

GOMEZ TO IGNORE ASSEMBLY
WILL PROCEED WITH DIsTRIBU-
TION OF THE $3,OOO,OOO.

Brooke Has Been Authorized to Dis
solve the Cuban Assembly, If He
Thinks 1t Necessary-That Body
Expected to Cease Soon of Its
own Accord-Many Generals Leav-
ing the Assembly and Some Will
Side with Gomez.
Havana, March 15.-Geu. Gomez has de-
cided to proceed with the plans agreed
upon for distributing the 100000 to the
Cuban troops on disbanding, as though the
military assembly did not exist.
He conferred for two hours to-day with
Gov Gen. Brooke regarding details. Gen.
Brooke asked Washington some days ago
whether, in case he dissolved the assem-
bly,, his action would be approved. The
cabled reply authorized him to dissolve
that body, if, in his judgment, such an
act was necessary.
He hopes the assembly will soon cease
of it's own accord to hold its sessions, bur
should sessions, disquieting to the public
mind continue, he will intervene.
Havana is much more quiet to-day and
less excitement is noticeable. This Is
partly due to the fact that the assembly
held no meeting. Rumors are current that
this self dissolution is a matter of the
early future.
At meeting this morning the Cuban
Gems. Diaz Robau, Monteaguado, No
dares, Perasa and others decided to JOIN
with Gen. Pedro Betancourt, the COM
mander of the Cuban troops in Matanzas,
in public declaration of their position.
La Discussion understands that they will
side with Gen. Gomez. The papers con-
tinue to print letters and kilograms from
all points, declaring adherence to the vet
eran patriots cause.
VIII Not Recognize 1t.
The United States military authorities
publish the following statement:
I'VE are officially authorized that the
President of the United States will not
recognize any obligation incurred by the
body known as the Cuban Assembly, and
that all reports and assertions to the con-
trary are absolutely untrue"
This is perhaps due to story publish
ed in the newspaper Ell Reconcentradoes
to the effect that a representative of an
American syndicate including Senator
Hanna, is now here with view OF max
ing loan to the assembly.
There have been six designations from
the assembly since Sunday Gems. and Sc
nores Cespedes, Monteagudo Nunez, Lei

of Gomez, in which ali the patriotic clubs,

women and children, took part, was bet

not so spontaneous. Several thousand
