Congress Is meeting with some adverse
criticism. Many persons believe that no
good purpose will be served by dis
cussion OF the causes OF the war and
OF peace proposals by the Congress
The veterans peace committee con
tinues hopeful of being able to persuade
Pine Guerra TO cease activities tempor-
arlly and possibly OF inducing him to
come TO Havana and Join the negotiations
for peace, but the attitude Of the lead
Ing Liberals continues TO preclude hopes
OF an immediate peace. AT the Yete-
rams meeting this afternoon resolu-
tion was formally adopted to use all
peaceful means to stop the war and II
these failed that n sufficient army should
be raised to crush il by force.
Meawhile intervention by the United
States Is being discussed on all sides
Many Cubans who hitherto were not ia
vorable to intervention now believe that
il Will be the only means Of placing
Cuba permanently In her rightful POSI-
ton.
Reports received by the Government
say that 200 insurgents were killed in the
encounter near Consolation del Sur, but
these figures are not considered authen-
tic.
a fight is reported TO have taken place
at Guanalay, In Santa Clara province.
There were fierce machet charges and the
rebels retired. Several OF them were
wounded and Ave were captured. News
OF the suspension OF hostilities reached
here this afternoon.

A Veteran Hunter and Cougar.

W. N, Wright tells this story In the
American Magazine
IAN old trapper started out to peg his
traps and cut awey the Ice. He took
nothing but an axe, as he did not ex-
pect TO have any use for the gun. In
one Of the traps. some twelve miles
from camp. he found large cougar that
had dragged the trap and clog for a
few feet only and was sitting in a patch
OF brush behlud a large log. The old
man did not want TO go TO camp aud get
his gun, SO he decided to cut heavy
pole and beat out the brains OF The
brute with that. He cut the pole and
proceeded 10 administer the skull break
ing blows, but the brush was SO thick
that the blows were Intellectual For a
while the animal took the pounding and
simply snarled, but by the time he had
received ten or dozen blows over tho
head and the blood began 10 run freely
from his nose and mouth, he made a
move that the old man had not figured
on: Crouching low on the ground, the
animal made spring for the old fellow
and. although handicapped with a twenty
pound trap and an eighty pound clog, he
cleared brush, log. aud all and landed
at the old mans feet. The latter made
backward spring Just In time to
escape. The lion then clawed the axe
and pole together, and sat on them. and
tho trepper at last had to 20 TO camp
and get his gun and shoot the brute"

Viewing the situation from an un-

outcome. Governor Gooding, the Repub-
