DISLIKE FREDDIE
SOME CU6ANS OF MODERATE PARTY SORE AT FUNSTON.
"' oeh VIII Command, and Taft. Bacon and Philippine Hero
 Will Return Home,

haVana.-Gen. Fred Funston will not continue in command of the Am erlean troops in Cuba. Governor Taft has announced that he and Gen. Fun. stoh will leave October 13 for the onlted States on the battleship Lou lsiana. With them will go Assistant secretary of State Bacon and the af. fairs of Cuba will be left in the hands or Governor Magoon and Gen. I rankin Bell. In explaining this, Governor Taft said:
 Gen. Funston was summoned on hurry call from the Pacific because he was we'll acquainted with many of the insurgent chiefs here and it was thought he could aid us, as he did greatly, in bringing the men in arms 10 an agreement. Gen. Funston was put temporarily in command of the troops in Cuba merely as a convent ence until Gen. Bell should arrive. Gen. Funston, MT. Bacon and myself, are returning to our permanent duties'
 Governor Taft's confidence in Gen. Bells ability to carry out the pro- gram of regeneration resulted in the decision to continue him in the island
 Many Cubans of the faction to which Mendez Capote and others who or Ganized the Moderate party belong, were outspoken against Gen. Funston. alleging that he had deserted them in their war against Spain. Governor Taft did not take cognizance of this bitterness, as he knows Gen. Funston at that time was i'll and had the con- other leaders. Had the proposal to send three expeditions to Cuba been carried out, Gen. Funston would have remained at Camp Columbia as the commander of a brigade The close association between Governor Taft and Gen Bell in the Philippines in. fiuenced the provisional governor to ask that Gen. Bell be placed in charge here.
 The party sailing on the Louisiana will touch at Key West, where Secre- tary Taft desires to stop in connec- ton with a right of way across tho military reservation for the railroad which is being constructed across the Florida Keys. The secretary consid CTS it important. as it will practically with ferry service.
 Twenty marines have been ordered to proceed to Sancti Spiritu and Trim idsd. At the latter place they will settle the friction between ex-rebels and .militiamen who have recently been disarmed.
 The trouble was caused when Col. Glynn of the militia who is also col lector of customs. rearmed the militia after the departure of the disarma- ment commissioners Gen Rodriguez. commander of the rural guards, tele- graphcd Col Glynn to disarm these men. This was done, but Glynn is reported still to have the guns in his possession and to be disposed to make trouble. If these reports are con firmed Governor Taft will remove Glyn.
 Gen. Braya, commander of the in surgents in that vicinity. maintained good faith with the commission, even taking the reyo'vers and machetes from his men, Two cases of yellow fever at Cruces. In addition 10 the re- cent death there. has decided Governor Taft not to send the marines back to that camp.

A number of ducks were swimming around on the water when the shot was fired, after which 13 were se- cured. The boy shot again as the ducks arose to fly away and killed another. making l4 ducks at two shots. Mir Reese states that he does not allow his boy to hunt on Sunday. but that such shots as those made last Sunday morning in a measure palliates the offense.

~RUSH" BASE BALL.
One "Who Knows" Says 1t Is Not Just
What II Is Cracked In TO Be.

This playing of base ball in small
towns is not so funny as it is cracked
up to be" remarked we'll known Min
neapolis athletic the other night. Il
went out into the jumpers with another
fellow year or two ago and came
near never coming back. We went
with team up to Backwater and
was playing under the name of Jones"
or Brown" forget which. was
pitching and the fellow who went up
with ME was catching.
A big jasper came up to bat and
the catcher sung out to me, Hit him
in the head sent up teaser around
his neck and the next was a high one
in, close in. He ducked his head into
it and it came near knocking the life
out of him. He went to first and an
other one came up.
Give it to this one in the same
place. howled the catcher.
II did not want to hit the fellow,
but the third ball I threw up handed
in the batter's neck. He too, took
base. The third man came up with a
bat in his hand and stopping outside
the batter's box warned me If hit
him he would get me with the bat.
| believed him, too, and gave him four
wide ones.
Pretty soon, with the score tied,
landed on the Backwater pitcher for
home run and when l came across
the plate the jumps yelled you're OUT
We cut second base l had not cut the
base at all and was crazy mad. The
jumps said something back and soaked
him for fair. He fell with his nose
bleeding and stalled think, pretend
ing that he was worse hurt than he
really was. First thing I knew, the
crowd was after me and was doing
the Wefers act down a cornfield
nearby. The constable finally got me
and they soaked ME $25 for smuggling
the umpire. They threatened to shoot
me and cut up jack generally
ITO get back at them We had about
four of them pinched for carrying con-
cealed weapons or something of that
kind and after letting them sweat in
Jail for two days the case was settled
shortly.
They can poke all the fun they
want to at these current bunch league
games, but the city don't know what
they are. The fellow whose name l
was using at Backwater went out to
town near there to play day or two
later and before the game started the
mayor walked out on the field and
up this fellow.
1--WE know all about you,' he said;
we heard about your doings over at
Backwater and if you crook finger
in this town we'll fill your dirty hide
so full of lead that they could use you
for an anchor for a river barge
"They would have done that very
trick and the poor innocent ball player
was SO cowd and afraid that he didn't
even dare to call that jumps dog face
or bone head during the whole game.

Some Of the most interesting golf
matches ever witnessed in the north
west were contested on the links of
the Town and Country club Saturday
afternoon between Quintette of
players of the game from the domains
Of his majesty King Edward, and as
many players from the local club. Win
nipeg was represented by Messrs. Will
son. R. Fortune, X. Mcmahon, G. v.
Toller and A. E. Hoskins. In the
matches George B. Clifford played
against Hoskins and Thomas Corrigan
against Mcmahon. The scoring was
made by the Nassau rules. which al
lows one for each round and one for
the match.
The Winnipeg players at the con-
clusion of the days sport expressed
themselves as having had very fine
time and the Grand Forks players
had an even better time. for It was an
inspiration to them to have such
players as the Winnipeg man to con-
test honors with, and every one of
them is more ardent golf enthusiast
than ever. The Grand Forks people
hope that this Is but the beginning of
other series of games. A series of
matches are being negotiated with Du-
luth golfers and little later they
may have the pleasure of playing with
Crookston and Fargo. The local play
ers are in fact almost carried away
with the style of playing shown them
yesterday by the golfers from over the
boundary. Their method of playing is
something of a revelation and has al
ready aroused new interest in the
game here, and golf may be expected
to come to the front in the near future
in a manner never done here before.

ton Sunday by Score of
6 to 4.

The Grand Forks Picketts journeyed
to Crookston yesterday and again took
the pick of the Crookston leaguers
into camp, this time by score of 6
to 4. A glance at the score sheet dis
closes the fact that Crookston is favor
ed in the hitting line with II hits
against Z for the locals, but at any
rate the Picketts had everything their
own way from the start. Schumacher
for the locals got away with four of
the hits, and Brown, the Crookston
leftfielder, got away with the same
number.
In the pitching department things
seemed about evenly divided. both
twirlers getting out of several bad
holes in way that brought forth the
applause of the 200 spectators. Shan

passed but two men as against three

to reach Public Printer Stillings in
Washington as it is to get speech with
the president. The Boston man has
given strict orders to hold up all who
would intrude upon his privacy, even
II they come on public business. The
other day man got into the sacred
presence unannounced and Mr.. Still
ings roared at him:
How did you get in here?'
The visitor did not seem to be much
alarmed and instead of replying ask
ed another question.
Are you the public printer"
Mr.. stillings again demanded: II
want to know how you got In here"
The caller replied calmly: III you

to introduce myself and possibly make
a few remarks about how to act like

am from Ohio and happen to be a

From Her Own Mouth.

The cleverest of lawyers occasion
ally find their match when engaged
in their favorite occupation of break
ing down an opponents witness, and
this frequently occurs in the case of
"horsey" individuals.
The following wordy contest be-
tween hostler and a counsel is one
of the most amusing specimens of the
kind:
"Now. ask you sir, under what
authority you are prepared to swear
to the mares age?"
Under what authority?" said the
hostler interrogatively.
you are to reply, and not to re-
peat the questions put to YOU"
II don't understand mans bound
to answer question afore he's time
to turn it in his mind
Nothing can be more simple, sir,
than the question put, and l repeat it.
Under what authority do you swear
to the mares age?"
"The best authority" said the wit
ness gruffly.
Then why such evasion? Why
not state 1t at once?"
well, then, If you must have it,
Must! will have it," Numbered
the counsel, interrupting the witness.
well, If you must and will have 1t"
rejoiced the hostler, "why, then,
had 1t myself from the mares own
mouth"
