cable special to the Sun quotes Maxi
mo Gomez as saying YESTERDAY that II
the Americans left the islaudS the
Cubans would be lighting within two
months.
He declared that he was the only
leader who could cause the Americans
trouble, but he had no intention OF
doing So. He did not wish to be pres
ident. He knew that his name was
used by cerlain self seekers, who
thought that they could profit by
his being president. The country

over to the Cubans for self-govern'
ment.
Several prominent revolutionary
papers in the country show desire to
have the Americans remain here
longer.

THE: WATER QUESTION.

EDITOR TELEGRAM:-A few days
ago you published the platform of the
Socialist party. Have read it careful.
ly over and am very much interested.
There is no doubt but what the party
is grow ing, and Ia year or two will
be an important factor in the politics
of our city.
As l wish to get further informa-
tion r garding tneir views, would re-
spectfully ask that they, through the
columns Of your much read paper, give
their views on the water question.
1t seems that this is to be one of
the vital issues Of the campaign and
one about which there is considerable
diversity Of opinion.
Would also suggest that they con-
tinue publishing their platform until
election day that all may have a
chance to give it due consideration.

NARROWLY ESCAPED DROWNING
How n Remarkable Woman Teacher
of Indians Saved Herself.

Miss Estelle Reel, of Wyoming, the Su-
perintendent of United States Indian
Schools, in the Bureau Of Indian Affairs.
was recently the victim of an a5.enture
which came near resulting in he death.
While travelling through Oklahoma Miss
Reel, who is indefatigabIe in her atten-
tion to the duties of her position. was
nearly drowned in a river in Usage coun-
ty- It was during the season of heavy
rains and the rivers were swollen.
Miss Reel was travelling across country
in wagon drawn by two horses. In
crossing a stream the horses got beyond
their depth, lost their footing and were
swept down stream by the current
The carriage was overturned. Mss Reel
jumped from the vehicle and 50 we'd her
self from enlargement with the wreck.
Miss Reel Is a good swimmer but was
carried down the strearrS until she sue
ceeded in grasping the branches of over
hanging brush. She remained here some
time. suffering with intense cold, but sue
ceeded in keeping her head above water.
When nearly exhausted she was rescued
from her perilous position. Walking
half a mile in her wet clothing she ar
rived at a farmhouse where she found
shelter
After n nights rest Miss Reel was none
the worse for her thrilling experience
Miss Reel is a Western woman. She was
appointed to her present position about
four years ago. She has under her imme-
date supervision all the Govern
ment Indian schools. She was born and
in Illinois, but went to wyom-
ing, and began her career as a teacher in
one Of the lower grades of the city
schools in Cheyenne BY hard work she
went forward until she became the prin-
cipaI of all the city schools il Cheyenne.
Later she was a candidate for county
superintendent on the Republican ticket, |
and was elected and held the office for |
two terms
At the enc of her second terms she was |
nominated for the Office Of State Superin- |
tendent, an Office which in Wyoming is |
combined with that of Registrar Of the |
State Board of Land Commissioners. and |
Secretary Of the State Board of Chari- |
ties
The position had always been held by |
one Of the sterner sex and a great pro- /
test was entered against the incumbency /
Of a woman. Miss Reel however. went |
into the campaign, and worked with such
effect that she was elected by a handsome |
ma IOritv
