JUNE.
Now is June,
And soon


The insidious green apple
With little Willie dear will grapple,
Fill him up with pang and trouble
Like jack knife bend him double
With the strife and frantic frolic
OF busy case of collie;
Make him squeal and yelp and yoop
AS his innards loop the loop
Soon,
For now is June.
Now is June,
Then soon
The genial mustard plaster--mix it
So that we may quickly fix it
To dear little Willie's tummy,
And there make it snug and chummy
iCop the castor oil phial,
Get the ipecac the while,
And the hot drops, o my lady!
Have the hot drops good and handy
For we our darling little Willie
Must dope and plaster, Willy nilly,
Soon,

Washington.-Fran confession Of
President Gomez that he was unable
to meet the demands of large plan
tation owners in eastern Cuba for ado
quate guards against the marauders
and insurrectos was the factor that
led Captain Kline, commanding the
United States naval station at Guam
tanamo, to set in motion the body of
United States marines gathered there
Captain Kline's action in dispatching
nearly half of his available force into the
interior of Cuba gave the signal for
the departure from Key West to Guam
tanamo of half of the second squad
ron OF the Atlantic fleet.
The facts as disclosed at the State
Department are that several of the
large American, British, French and
Spanish companies operating planta-
tions and mines in eastern Cuba tele-
graphed the Cuban government de-
mand for 100 regular troops for each
of their mills and fifty for each of
their cane fields.
President Gomez pointed out that a
compliance with their request would
require the use of 1880 of his best
troops for the protection of one group
of foreign properties. If he acceded
to such demands, he said his whole
regular army would not suffice for po
lice work alone.
Captain Kline, judging that the sit
uation demanded the use of American
guards, sent 450 marines by boat up
Guantanamo bay to a landing near
Caimanera, the terminus of the rail
way running up to the city of Guantan'
amo, fifteen miles inland.

NO NEGRO RACE YET
IN THE UNITED STATES

Kansas City, Mo.-As yet there is
no negro race in America. according
to DIR. c. v. Roman, president of a
negro medical school at Nashville,
Tenn. DR.. Roman was one of the
speakers at a session of the African
Methodist Episcopal general confer
ence here.
"The negroes are only beginning to
be a race" said DR.. Roman. Racial
consciousness has been lacking, but
the negro is finding himself. The ma
terial for a strong race is in him. but
he faces the difficulties that every
growing race has encountered-clas
prejudice and race prejudice.
ut has been said the negro is dy-
ing out, but the race never was
stronger than today At the close of
the Civil war there were 100000 ne
groes in the United States; now there
are 100000"

all agree that there never has
been such a splendid prospect

fact that the capacity Of their
barns and cribs is not Sufficient
