ths true story Of Funston vas 40 iOllovs:
Funston landed In Cuba On March 1e,is0os
with Col. Penas's expedition from New York,
and did splendid work at coscorro a. chief
Of artillery under Maxine Gomez, also at
JIguani and Tunas, In April and August,
1897, under Callxto Garcia, always deciding
the victory In favor OF the CubAns. He
wished temporary leave In 1897 and, will
the permission OF Calixto Conner, asked Il
from the Cuban Government.
Capote, who was the then Vice President
twice refused him, in spite Of Funston's per-
sonal romonstrances and the need he was
under to 10 home and attend to private
affairs. Then Funston, with the approval Of
Calixto Gomez, presented himself, under a
flag Of truce, at a Spanish fort between
Puerto PrincipsS and Nuevitas, and the
American Consul at the latter place procured
his embarkation for the United States.
No man, Con. COllAxo added, was better
loved BY the Cubans than Funston for his
great services, which Cuba had not yet
rewarded.

an unusually severe penalty should Epiing
eyer be found guilty here again.
Policeman King, who made the arrest on
UpperW arburton avenue yesterday testified
that when he first started In pursuit OF the
automobile it was making thirty-nve miles
an hour. Though he tried hard he said he
was unable to gain o the speeder with his
fast motorcycle. When the automobile

avenue a motorman warned Womser and
his chauffeur hat a policeman was in pur-
suit of them and that they had better slack e
their speed.
The automobile then slowed down and
King overtaki ing the machine, arrested the
chauffeur. Wormser made an earnest plea
in court for Epling, declaring that the
machine was travelling no more than ten
miles an hour. Epling made a similar
statement.
Judge Bean said that he would have 10

GUARD BIRDS NESTS WITH GUNS.
Geological Park Forester Arrested for
Holding ID Young Men.

Herman W. Merkel, who is employed as
chief forester in the Geological Park, was
arraigned before Magistrate Baker in the
Harlem court yesterday Of the charge OF
assault made by Warren Moak, 20 years
old, Of 4gs Van Nest avenue and William
Ratthof Of 20I2 DAILY avenue, The Bronx.
1t seems that q gang Of young thieves have
been stealing eggs from some Of the birds
nests In the park, and Director William T.
Hornaday called in the Pinkerton detec-
tives to try to catch them. The detectives
directed that some Of the park employees
DO stationed at the entrances on the look
out for the thieves, who were supposed to
get into the grounds after dark. Merkel
was armed with a shotgun and n OF the
watchmen with a revolver and sent to the
Boston road entrance Of the park last
Wednesday night.
Young Moak and Ratthod came along
near the entrance, and n OF them lit a
matchto smoke a cigarette. Merkel thought
they were the thieves and held them up
at the point OF his gun. He soon found
out that Ia two young men were not the
persons he was looking for and let them go.
Both young men were nearly scared out OF
their wits. They wen to the Bronx Park
station house to make a complaint. Detec-
tive Horrigan was put on the case and
arrested Merkel. Mr.. Hornaday appeared
in court yesterday to explain the case and
told the Magistrate that he had been put
to a lot Of trouble through the loss Of the
birds eggs.
Merkei was warned and discharged.

from Laguna. Mexico, yesterday, had on
board four Mosquito Indians who had been
picked up at sea. In the afternoon OF
September 10 the ofioer on the bridge saw
q raft adrift with four man clinginG to IL.
They were soon got on board the ROs efeld,
but II was some time before they we're able
to give an account Of themselves. One man
was crazy from drinking salt water and
had to be put in a straitjacket. The
others were very weak.
When they had recovered sufficiently IL
was learned that they were part Of the crew
OF the Mexican schooner Morales. bound
from Campeche to Tuxpan with a cargo OF
salt and lumber. A few hours before the
men were picked up the schooner had
i~oundered after being in a gale for sixteen
hours. The captain, mate and three other
members OF the crew were drowned. The
survivors got some Of the lumber together
into a sort OF raft. A lookout was kept on
the Rosefeld for the schooner or some
w~reckage. but nothing was found except
q small water breaker and some pitch pine
boards.

REBELS PLANNED A COUP,
But Deslsted when They Learned o. "ROOse-
Vcit's Amiable Intervention"

But Deslstod when They Learned % ''ROOse-
vcics Amiable Intervention"
Col. ARuirre, head Of the Cuban revolu-
tionary junta, received yesterday a letter
from his hrother-in-law, Gen. Orestes Fer
rara, In camp at Los EgidOs, about three
quarters Of Q mile from Santa Clara. At
the time Of writing Qast Tuesday, Gen.
Ferrara said that he had 5000 we'll armed
men and that, reenforced by Col. Gonzales
and other commanders, he expected 10
attack and take tho cities Of Santa Clara,
Santo Domingo and Cienfuegos. After this
tho united commands Of all the revolu-
tionary army intended 20 march against
tho city Of Havana.
Before Gen. Ferrara could carry out his
intention he was halted outside Of the city
Of Santa Clara by Information that the
United States had appointed commission
ers 10 settle the dificulty. He refers to
this In his letter az the -amiable interview
ton Of President Roosevelt The Governor
Of Santa Clara had already begged for q
suspension Of hostilities, which Gen. Ferrsra
granted.
On arriving on the outskirts OF Santa
Clara Gen. Ferrars says he attacked the
defenders Of the city and forced them 10
surrender by o~utAsnk;ns them. There
were no casualties, only q few horses being
wounded. The letter concludes as follows;
We as well as our opponents want peace.
but Il must be based on justice. We will not
tolerate q mere commercial transaction by
which only q minority OF the people would
be benefited. We want the benefit to be
general. II the peace commissioners should
impose on US a solution Of the contest that
would not be for tbs general benefit 1t would
temporarily stop tho revolution. but the germs
would remaln to fructify at o period In ths
near future. Apparently the American COM
m~issloners have compelled the chief OF the
bandits, Palma, to suspend hostillties. The
Americans want to force Palma into an honest
solution Of the trouble. The crimes Of which
his administration already has been convicted
I believe the commission will declare sufficient
30 cause any. people to rise In revolt. l think
the commission ought to give US the right to
sustain our contention. Government. which
should be an ethical institution. has de-
generated under Palma into Q society Of
mslefsctors.
II we cannot prove our charges we are
ready 10 give up the struggle and submlt
ourselves to the present Government, which
is - odious to us IS that Of Spain before the
separation.
Gen. Ferrara told IN his letter why he had
burned some Of the railroad bridges and
armored oars IN Santa Clara. he found
that the railroad company, contrary to Its
agreement with the revolutionists, was
secretly transporting war materials and
soldiers from Havana into Santa Clara.
The revolutionary troops attacked an
munition and arms burned the cars. After
chat the railroad ceased TO attempt TO bring
into Santa Clara supplies for the Govern
ment forces.

INDUSTRIES OF THE soEas,


In 1905 an experimental school OF
spinning and weaving was started IN
a remote Boer village, says the South
ern Workman. The village chosen
was Philippolis, in the Orange River
Colony. Six girls were received
when the school opened its doors,
March 10, 1905, and 1t was soon pos
sible to admit more from the long list
of applicants. During the first eight
months, about 40 have received train
ing in one or another Of the branches
OF the work. The primary object is to
teach work which girls can carry on
at home with their own resources
independ entity Of imported material,
and, so far as possible, independent
also of external supervision, but with
simple democratic and cooperative
organization among themselves. IBIS
work Is intended TO be useful In max
ing necessary articles for their OWE
homes, as cloth, coyerlets, blankets.
rugs: but II is also expected that ,
sale will be readily found for such
things in the towns. So far there has
,ot haen the least difficulty In sell
ing the articles made by the school.
After two or three months OF work
In Philippolis, enough has been acniev'
ed to arouse interest through both
the Transvaal and the Orange River
Colony although no attention was
even yet claimed in public. The Ini'
tial success OF the scheme passes
rom mouth to mouth, and the Boers
WIS are a cautious people-begin 70
believe that these industries can be
rooted In every dists1ct and become
an element in national life.
