thief OF Cuba, as much as possible,
for fear that things might come out
that would not be nice for some Iii
cials, high in authority. But Repre-
sentative Jones, of Virginia, has in
troduced some resolutions that are
likely to stir up an unsavory odor,
and to 60 to the bottom Of the whole
business. His resolution directs the
Secretary Of War to furnish informa-
ton in connection with the Nicely
disclosures in Cuba. 1t follows the
Bacon resolution in the Senate and
adds three further inquiries, viz:
| "NVhat amounts have been paid in
| the way Of allowances and salaries TO
the commanding general, the heads
Of the various departments Of the
United States military government
in Cuba Including all persons cm-
| ployed as clerks or otherwise under

| What amounts have been paid in

army and what amounts, if any, are
being paid at the present time to
said officers?
In each Of the expenditures con-
cerning which inquiry is made, out
Of what fund was said amount paid?'

The peace ENJOYS OF the Beers who
arrived in America few days ago 90
solicit the aid of the U. S. in stopping
the war were given rousing and en-
thusiastic reception in New York
where several sympathetic speeches
were made by Congressman and SEN
ators, a number Of whom were on the
roStrum. Eut they we've turned down
upon their arrival at Washington.
In Il conversation with Secretary Hay,
they were given to understand that
the United States could do nothing
for publication when they came from
the office Of Secretary Of State. The
Secretary then went to the President,
and after n consultation with him,
an interview, alleged to have taken
place between the Boer ENJOYS and
the Secretary, was given out for pub
lication, setting forth why ii is that
the L. S. cannot interfere to bring
about peace. This result OF their
conversation must have been not a
little disappointing to the envoys.
They are fully aware that they have
the sympathy Of the American peo-
pie. But the American people is one
thing and the present Republican
administration is another.

KID M'FADDEN IMPROVES.
Makes Great Record While Out East
With the Boxers.

New York, Aug. 31--Kid McFadden. that
clever little fighter under the management
of Johnny Mack, wound up a most sue
cessful season in the east by defeating
Jimmy Rose in the preliminary to the
Walcott-West farce at Madison Square.
The Kid was lighter by some pounds and
the younger by many years, but he was
game, willing and aggressive, as, indeed,
were both boys. The bout was a good
one. In the eleventh round, after a few
blows had been exchanged, McFadden
shot right into the wind AS Rose reeled
away from the blow practically helpless
the referee caught him and assisted him
to his corner The referees decision in
favor of McFadden was received with ap-
plause.
McFadden will leave for the West within
few days and will very likely stop over
in Cincinnati and Louisville. The Kid has
a somewhat phenomenal record, having
taken part in 81 fights since coming to
New York five months ago. OF these he
won g. lost two and had one draw He
is 105-pound boy. and has been boxing
the Eastern lads up to 125 pounds. Nc

REFUSES TO SELL.
Sedgwick County Farmer Refuses
$4,000 For 152 Acres.

Wichita, Aug. 31.-Mr. John T. Giles,
who resides northwest of the city six
miles, was Monday offered in cash the
sum of $4,000 for his home farm, which
consists of 152 acres. This offer was re-
fused by Mr.. Giles, owing to the fact
that he considers the farm a paying in
vestment even at that price.
Tho farm is located near the big Ar
kansas river on the sixth principal
meridian and is one of the best improved
farms in the county. The house and
buildings are all in splendid condition
To the north of the house is a splendid
orchard of six and one-half acres and
every year always gives a fine yield of
choice fruit.
Mr.. Giles has something like 100 acres
of his farm in alfalfa and usually cuts
five crops of the hay each season.
The average corn crop on the farm
during the past 20 years is about so
bushels per acre. Mr.. Giles has raised
many other crops ON his farm property
and is well satisfied with Sedgwick
county as farming country.
