THE ARMY IN CUBA.
Senator Mason Proposes the with
drRwaI of Troops.


A joint resolution requesting the Presi-
dent to withdraw the United States troops
| from Cuba and to turn over the civil and
military government OF the island to its
native inhabitants on the 4th of July next
| was introduced by Mr.. Mason in the Senate
Yesterday and. at his request. was re-
ferred TO the Committee on Relations with
| Cuba.
The preamble to the resolution ,cciteS
that in entering upon the war with Spain
the United States, in the Intervention
| resolutions. disclaimed any disposition or
! intention TO exercise sovereignty over the
| island; that the United States Is under
treaty obligations to grant independence
to the people of Cuba; that the continu-
ance of the United States in possession
of the island has excited the attention OF
the world, and is exciting the apprehen-
sion OF the people Of Cuba, many Of whom
do not hesitate to state that the United
States is attempting to procure possession.
ownership, and government of the island
by diplomacy and fraud; that the people
OF the United States and Of the Island OF
Cuba should both have free and untram
meled opportunity to express themselves
as to what, If any, should be their mutual
relations in the future; that under the
Monroe Doctrine the island is safe from
foreign invasion. that the Cubans have
shown a disposition to make their best
efforts to govern themselves, and could
undoubtedly do so without endangering
life or property. that the Government OF
the United States has done all that could
be expected Of it In keeping its promise
for the independence of Cuba; that the
people Of the United States do not desire
to hinder or delay sef-government for
the island, which could only come TO that
brave people by actual experience.
The resolution itself reads as follows
Resolved, That the President Of the
United States is hereby requested to with
draw the forces OF the United States as
rapidly as may be done with convenience
and safety. and that on the 4th day of
July, 1860. all civil and military power Of
the United States be turned over and
surrendered to the people of the Island
Of Cuba"
Mr. Mason said yesterday that the Gu
bans must sooner or later be required TO
govern themselves, and that the best way
for them to gain a knowledge Of the pTin-
clples Of self lf-government is to begin its
prs~tice at once. He admitted that at
frst they might have revolutions and
other troubles of various kinds but said
that in the end they would become Ier-
fectly capable Of governing themselves.

The Last Comanche Raid.

The last raid made by the Comanche
Indians upon the ranches to the south
of Their reservation was made by a
band of about fifty warriors. They pen
etrated as far south as Lookout mountain,
nearly four hundred miles from their
reservation. They succeeded in gather
ing up almost every horse in that vicinity
and had started for home. A band of
eight cowboys formed themselves into a
posse, and started in pursuit OF the red
skins.
They trailed them to the wooded
slopes of Looko mountain and here
the Indians tn mixing themselves safe
from pursuit concluded to rest. The
cowboys, discovered the camp in a
canyon Immediately beneath them and
unfortunately the Indians saw the white
men at the same time. When the cow
boys got around to the place the camp
was broken up and the Indians were
gone. Cautiously making their way
through the underground the pursuers
crept up the canyon. A shower of
arrows was the first warning they had
that they were ambushed. The little
band rushed for shelter, all but one.
He stood still until his companions,
having gained shelter turned to look.
Someone shouted to him to come on.
81 can't he replied. Il am hobbled."
At this a companion ran back to see
what was wrong. Sure enough, the
man was hobbled most securely. An
arrow had passed through both his legs,
remaining stuck there. The arrow was
broken and pulled out and the wounded
man helped to a place of safety.
Then followed a genuine Indian fight.
The cowboys got between the Indians
and the horses thus insuring their
enemies remaining close to the mountain,
as they could not get away on foot.
After twetity-four hours fighting the
cowboys drove their horses home, and
of those fifty Indians not a single one
left Lookout mountain. When the
news of the fate of this band of warri ors
reached the reservation it did more to
put a quietus OIL the thieving propensi-
ties of this restless tribe than all of
Uncle Sans troops. 1t was the last raid
that the Comanches ever made.

A Night Watch.

There is no pioneer in the Yellowstone
country. but knew or heard of the
Murray brothers. strong, hardy, and
fearless hunters, scouts and Indian
fighters they had no superiors, and few
equals. Quiet and inoffensiye, they
were not men to be remarked in a crowd,
but their dauntless courage was at 70
time open to question.
One fall the brothers went out on a
hunting trip, taking along with them a
boy to do the cooking. The boy remain
ed in camp while the hunters were out
in the woods looking for game. One
evening the younger mar returned with
asplendid buffalo hide, and threw 1t down
in the tent. With youthful ~inquisitive-
ness, the boy asked where he got that.
sit is M l had left over from last year.
replied Murray and the boy said no
gore. When the older brother returned
he was ASKED. Did you see anything?"
Yes! he replied, II saw Indian signs,
did you?" The younger pointed to the
buffalo robe and nothing more was said.
AZ er supper the three went out, and
chopped down trees to build a corral
and put their horses into it. When this
work was completed it was quite dark,
and they returned to the tent. The,
closed the flap of the tent and raised up
the wall a little way, and propped it up.
with a stick. The brothers made their
bed down with its head to this opening
and facing the corral. They lay down
on their stomachs with their rifles by
their sides. Their well trained dog lay
by the side of the bed. Not a sound
broke the stiffness of the night for al
most three hours, and then the dog gave
a low growl. "Lie down." whispered his
master, and in a few minutes a rife shot
rang out in the tent like a clap OF
thunder. When the echo died away all
was still again save the snorting of the
horses in the corral. Another hour
passed, and the boy was awakened by
another terrific crash. Murray's rifle
had spoken again. "You may go to
sleep now" said the older man and tie
younger rolled over ard in two minutes
was snoring. AS it was breaking day
the boy awoke to find the sentinel still
on guard gazing out through the aper-
ture in the tent. As 0 as it was light
enough to see they went out and found
two Indians close to the corral, both shot
through the head. The first was shot
as he reached the corral, and was start
ing to tear it down. Doubtless his COM
panion wanted to help him OF get the
body away and proceeded to crawl up to
where it lay. He raised his head to
locate his partner. A second of time
was enough. He never raised his head
again. r.

WATER IN SOUTH AFRICA.

The northwest or Kalihari desert
wind sweeps down over the South Afri-
can veldt This is most extraordina-
ry wind and seems to be charged with
electricity. 1t Is extremely dry and is
said to have an effect upon the main
springs of watches and upon highly
tempered steel. It is a very thirsty
wind, and ticks and laps up every parti-
Gle of moisture. A moist sheet of pa
per, if held up in it, will visibly wrinkle
and turn up. In such climate as that
Of the Cape 1t is very necessary to wear
flannel, and be prepared to meet the ex-
tremes of night and day temperature.
1t is a provokingly thirsty country, and,
in spite of temptation, it Is well not to
drink from the stagnant pools and slug
gish rivers, Bad water is probably now
the cause of much dysentery and of
many cases of enteric fever at the front.
The colonists do not like drinking direct
from the river, but scrape a hole in the
sand by the waters edge and let the
fluid filter through slowly into it. The
Kaffir tribes have very stringent laws
against the pollution of their rivers, and
punish most severely those who offend
against them In his Bechuanaland ex-
petition Sir Charles Warren surprised
the Boer enemy by his skill in sinking
artesan wells In the open veldt, and
keeping his troops supplied with good
and pure water. For keeping water
good and tolerably cool, the native Gala
bash. hung al the saddle is useful But
it is well to drink as sparlngly as posi-
bic in the South African climate, and to
stay the craving by adopting some such
eXpedient as chewing orange or lemon
peel But it is clear that in a South
African war, and especially in the large
'karoos" and plains of the interior, both
man and beast depend greatly upon a
pure water supply. This is really one of
the great military problems.-F Fortnight
