RAISINS

The raisin is a WORKOUT grape.
Its evolution is peculiar. First
q bunch of young, full-blooded,
ambitious grapes grows itself on
a vine. Then il waits for some
body to come along and pick it.
Nobody comes. And it waits
and waits.
Pretty soon it gets tired of
waiting. So it shrivels up and
becomes a bunch of raisins. By
this time it's pretty sore on the
world; and it goes around with
its head full of seeds, making
itself as unpopular as possible.
1t gets into fruitcake, mince pie,
rice pudding and other places
where it car cause trouble.
Fortunately, however, most
raisins are caught early in their
disgruntled career nowadays,
and denatured.

BOYS Gross Delaware"
On Ice Cake; One Dies
Two Newark Children Res
cued from Morris Canal

General Washington and his valiant
army were crossing the Delaware yes
terday. Merle Simpson, aged seven,
was the general, and the Delaware was
the Morris Canal, near the Essex Street
Bridge, in Newark. The boat was a
large ice cake, on which the general
had marshalled his two seven-year-old
retainers, Robert Clemens and Edward
Watson.
Armed with a pole they pushed of
and all went well until the three hap
pened to get too near one edge of the
icy raft and it tilted. Three scream
ing boys slid off into the water and
disappeared. Charles Johnson, hearing
the lads cries. rushed down the en-
bankment and into the water in time
TO grab Robert and Edward and drag
them ashore. But by the time he could
return the generals head was no
longer bobbing above the surface.
While the two rescued lads were
being taken 10 the Newark City Hos
pital, several men undertook the haz-
ardous task Of diving for the Simpson
bow. but 1t was nearly an hour later
that Frank Baer. Of 33 Jacob Street,
brought the body from the water.

President and Officers at
Havana Palace Cheer
Announcement

Havana, March Z. Announcement
was made at the Presidents palace to-
day that a message had been received
there stating that General Jose Miguel
Gomez, former President of Cuba, had
been captured with his entire staff by
Colonel Collazo, commander of the gov
eminent troops.
The news of the capture came from
Colonel Aurelio Hevia, Secretary Of the
Interior, commanding in the province
Of Santa Clara. The announcement
was received with cheering and the
waving OF hats by President Menocal
and the army officers at the palace.
The following statement was issued
at the Palace tonight by Secretary
AzpiaZu:
Jose Miguel Gomez and his whole
staff. together with more than 300 men
belonging TO his forces, were taken
prisoner to-day by government troops
under the command Of Colonies Con-
suegra and CollazO. For three days
Colonel Collazo had been close on the
heels of Come, and last night an
other column under Colonel Consuegra
Joined in the operations that resulted
in what il probably the biggest
pitched engagement in the history OF
Cuba. More than 5000 men took part
in the engagement, and, although full
details have not yet been received, IL is
known that the rebels lost, besides the
300 prisoners, over 100 killed and a
great many wounded. Among the pris-
oners are General Comes son, Mlgual
Mariana; Damaso Pasalodos. his secre-
tarv; Mencias, and DR.. Matias Duque.
These men will all be tried before the

cit may be opportune 10 state here
that the events of the day have fully
confirmed the reports that the gov,
eminent has been giving out daily and
which the revolutionary committee es-
tablished in New York City have been
branding as untrue and misleading"
The Senate this afternoon passed the
till which previously had passed the
House authorizing the President to sus-
pend constitutional guarantees. Inc
bill now needs only the Presidents sig
nature 20 become law.
General Gomez has been the leader
of the Cuban revolt. Forces which he
commanded were defeated by those OF
Colonel Collazo late in February, and It
was reported that General Gomez had
fed.
President Menocal was recently
quoted as attrbuting the Cuban revolt
10 the "unbridled ambition" of General
Gomez. A few days ago a Cuban judge
found true bill against General
Gomez on a charge of conspiracy and
revolution, and fixed bail at 100000.
