THERE was a serious outbreak of
popular feeling in Havana Monday
owing to the feeling of the Cubans
over the impeachment os Gen. Go
mez. A parade of patriotic socie-
ties and citizens was arranged to
march to Gomez's house and leave
an expression of their good will.
The demonstration was noisy one
and the new Cuban police force at
tempted to interfere. The result
was a riot, in which the police were
routed. The Tenth United States
infantry was finally ordered out and
charged the crowd, succeeding in
bringing something like order.

Fate of the BenderS,

The town of Independence was the
home of the notorious Bender family,
who, twenty years ago, on the road to
Cherryvale, enticed travellers into a
sort of roadhouse, from which few men
with money ever emerged. Guests
were usually seated in a room with
their backs to a calico curtain, and
while Kate Bender, the siren, enter
talned them, "old man Bender" hit
them in the back of the head with a
hatchet or an ak. When night came
the family buried it's victims in the
garden and took care of the travellers
teams in some manner, generally driv-
ing them over into Indian Territory
and selling the horses and wagons for
what they could get.
A number of mysterious disappear
ances gave the Bender tavern a bad
name, and finally, after a brother of
State Senator York was seen to enter
the place and never appeared again,
vigilance committee visited them and
advised them to leave the country
within "a hours. The friends of York
were not satisfied with the report of the
committee, and when the Benders
packed up and started on the western
trail, followed them into the night
Nobody knows what happened, but the
popular impression is that the entire
family was buried in the sand of an is
land in the Arkansas river, and its out
fit burned, The Benders used to turn
up occasionally in different places all
over the country, but they were never
satisfactorily identified, and several
men now living in Independence know
the reason why-W. E. Curtis in Chic

Washington, May 4-Acting for the

in few days make a trial of an air

in continuing the experiments he al
ready had begun.
The ship is now finished, or practi-
cally so. 1t has been building at
QuanticO, Va, few miles from Wash

to charter a boat and take a few
friends down the river to see the trial,

Snain,s Latest Wnrrl,

A Spanish cabinet crisis is reported
to be threatened on account of dis
pute among the members of the min
istry over the disposition of the $780,
1000 paid by the United States The
minister Of war has put in claim for
the whole sum for the army; the naval
minister declares he must have it to
replace the ships lost in the late war,
while the financial minister threatens
the government with bankruptcy un-
less tine entire amount is appropriated
to make up the deficiency in the rev.
enues The last claim would seem to be
the most meritorious one of the three.
There would appear to be no good ex-
cuse for spending any great sum to
The nation still possesses Admiral Ca
mara's feet, which is powerful enough
to maintain order in the few remaining
colonies OF Spain, or in connection with
the coast defense vessels, in the mari
time territory of Spain itself. AS Spain
cannot hope to cope with any great
power at sea, any additions to its navy
which 1t could afford to make would
be useless expenditure. The CHIEF
use of its army for some time to come
must be to keep order in Spain itself
and especially to guard against the
Carlists. Probably more money is
badly needed to support the sol0.ers
but the number OF them would seem
now to be in excess of the country's
needs. The deficit in the revenues
must be met somehow, and as these
are doubtless already largely appro-
priated for army and navy purposes
the financial minister's claim would
seem to take precedence.
But some time ago it was stated that
the money was to go to reduce the in
debtedness of the nation to the Bank
of Spain. If this is the case it is diff
cult to understand the contentious of
the cabinet members over 1t. They
could avoid the threatened crisis by
turning the money over to the institu-
tion, which would thus be placed in a
better position to help the government
in the future, and this disposition
would seem at this distance to be the
wisest that could be made of the fund.
