MOUNTS FOR CAVALRY


Fort Worth. Sept l5.-aA pur-
chaser and an army inspector are
just nov taking over several car
loads Of ponies per day az the Fort
Worth stockyards on an order from
the Cuban government
Several days ago it was announced
Ia the Associated Press dispatches
from Havana that an agent OF the
Cuban government had come TO the
United States To purchase mounts
for q cavalry organization to be equip
ped by the existing government for
operations against the insurrectos.
As matter of fact more than one
agent came to the United States on
the mission of purchasing cavalry
horses. Just how many is not known.
but it Is known that one agent is
making purchases at st, Louis while
one other is doing the same at Fort
Worth
The movement OF horses to Cuba
from this point took on enlarged pro-
portions the early part of this week,
but as shipments were billed in the
name of regular consignors. and as
bills of lading described shipments as
horses and mules, little was
thought that the movement was made
in the interest of the Palma govern
ment 1t was not given out that an
agent was making purchases for the
Cuban government, lest prices should
suddenly advance in the country and
so put an end to operations. The
agent is limited 10 certain specifi-
cations in his purchases and hfs or
ders do not call for the buying of the
best class of riding animals. Those
taken over yesterday ranged from
l41a to Is hands in height, We're of
medium quality and also medium in
price. Preceding buying on the
earlier days of the week had been of
the same class.
In all ten cars of these light weight
saddle animals have been shipped
out to Havana, going mostly by way
of New Orleans.
Dealers are reticent about the mat
ter and profess to have no knowledge
of the exact number of horses that
will be purchased here. The Cubar
agent is also quiet. declining to say
further than that he is now buying
horses for the Cuban government.
