edy, but the rest of the time their
meat, when there was any, consisted
Of iguanas-those big, repulsive liz
ards-and jutias, the Cuban field rats.
Fortunately there was no shortage
Of food for the horses, and so, despite
the necessity Of numerous detOurs, the
party made good time. They crossed
into Matanzas, pushed on over rolling
hills, through sweeping savannas, past
empty clearings and deserted villages,
to their journeys end. A fortunate
encounter with a rebel partida from
General Betancourts army enabled
them to reach headquarters without
loss of time, and one afternoon, worn
haggard and hungry, they dismounted
in front of that gallant officers hut.
General Betancourt read the letter
which O'Reflly handed him, then
looked up with smile.
$50! You are one of Gomez Ameri-
cans Ell? Well, I would never have
known it, to look at you; the sun and
the wind have made you into very
good Cuban. And your clothes One
might almost mistake you for a Cuban
cabinet officer
O'Reilly joined in the laughter
evoked by this remark. He was quite
as tattered as the poorest Of Betan-
courts common soldiers; his shoes
were broken and disreputable his cot
ton trousers, snagged by barbed wire
and brambles, and soiled by days in
the saddle and nights in the grass,
were in desperate need Of attention.
His beard had grown, too, and his skim
where it was exposed, was burnt to
a mahogany brown. Certainly there
was nothing about his appearance to
bespeak his nationality.
The general continued: 81 am direct
ed in this letter to help you in some
enterprise. Command me, sir"
AS briefly as possible Johnnie made
known the object of his journey. The
officer nodded his comprehension, but
as he did SO a puzzled expression
crossed his face.
Eyes, / reported that Miss Varona
had gone into the city took some
pains to find out. Do you have reason
to doubt"
"Not the least, SIR
"Then-why have you come all this
wayT'
81 came to find her and to fetch her
to her brother"
"But-you don't understand. She is
actually inside the lines, in Matan-
zas--a prisoner"
Exactly. intend to go into Matan-
zas and bring her out"
General Betancourt drew back, as
tonished. "My dear manp he eX-
claimed. "Are you mad?"

guides, having crossed the trocha more
than once, affected to scorn its ter
rors, and their easy confidence reas-
sured O'Reilly in spite Of Esteban's
parting admonition.
The American had not dreamed Of
taking Jacket along, but when he came
to announce his departure the boy had
fatty refused to be left behind.
Fifty miles. Of hard riding brought
the party to the trocha they neared it
on the second morning after leaving
Cuhitas, and sought a secluded camp
ing spot. Later in the day Hilario, the
old Camagueyan, slipped away to re:
connoiter. He returned at twilight,
had discovered. After an insistent
cross-examination O'Reilly wrung from
him the reluctant admission that ev-
erything seemed favorable for cross
ing some time that night, and that he
had selected a promising point. Be
yond that the old man would say moth
ing.
Supper, a simple meal, was quickly
disposed of. Then followed long,
dispiriting wait, for a gibbous moon
refused to stir so long as 1t remained
there. 1t was a still night; in the
jungle no air was stirring, and dark
ness brought forth a torment Of mos
quitoes. AS day died the woods awoke
to sounds of bird and insect life;
strange, raucous calls pealed forth,
some familiar, others strange and I'M
accustomed. Sitting there in the dark,
bedeviled by pest Of insects, Knocked
at by these mysterious voices, and
looking forward to a hazardous enter
prise, O'Reilly began to curse his vivid
Imagination and to envy the impas-
siveness Of his companions. Even
Jacket, he noted, endured the strain
better; the boy was cheerful, philo-
sophical, quite unimpressed by his
surroundings. When the mosquitoes
became unbearable he put on his trou-
sers, with some reluctance and much
ceremony.
Midnight brought q moist, warm
breeze and few formless clouds
which served at times to dimly OBJ
scure the moon. Watching the clouds,
O'Reilly hoped that they might prove
to be the heralds Of a storm. None
came. When the moon had finally
crept down into the treetops old Hi
lario stepped upon his cigarette, then
began silently to saddle up. The 9TH
ers followed with alacrity, and fell in
behind him as he led the way into the
forest.
When they had covered couple Of
miles Hilario reined in and the others
crowded close. Ahead, dimly discern
ible against the night sky, there ap-
peared to be thinning of the woods.
After listening for moment or two,
Hilario dismounted and slipped away !;
the three riders sat their saddles with
ears strained.
Hilario returned with word that all
was well, and each man dismounted to
muff1e the feet Of his horse with rags
and strips Of gunnysack provided for
the purpose. Then, one by one, they
moved forward to the edge of the
clearing. The trocha lay before them.
O'Reilly felt pair of reins thrust

RAILROAD RUMBLES,
Rea and Markham Know
Nothing About Custer Talk

Philadelphia, June 12.-Officials of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. including
Charles II. Markham. regional direc-
tor of this district, and Samuel Rea.
president of the system, said yester-
day they were in the dark with re-
spect to report that the govern
ment railroad administration is pre-
pairing to take over Broad street sta
ton with the intention of request
ing Mr.. Rea and all other officers not
directly connected with the physi-
cal operation of the road as a fed
eral officer to move elsewhere.
II know nothing about it," Direc-
tor Markham replied when the re-
port was brought to his attention.
Mr.. Rea and other high officials
were equally at sea in the absence of
notice from Washington.
Persons in a position to know
something of the governments inten-
tions regarding the operation of the
railroads fully expect Director Gem
eral McAdoo will take over the
Broad street station for the sole use
of operating executives. Should this
move be decided upon it is probable
Mr.. Rea would take quarters in the
Commercial Trust building, at the
southwest corner of Market street
and West Penn Square. which is
owned by the railroad corporation.

ther evidence that Germany, in its
efforts to end the war this summer,

American naval officers are no less
anxious for n finish fight with the
enemy than are the British. And in
all allied quarters there is supreme
confidence of the outcome. Once the
two fleets come to grips, officials are
certain that the Germans will be de-
cisively defeated.

have been futile. Numerous arrests
have been made, but these examples

'BONE-DRY' MEN
KEEN TO FORCE
VOTE IN SENATE
Plan Fight on Floor Fol
James Amendment to
Agricultural Bill

Washington, June 12.-Prohibi'
ton forces are preparing for ar
early vote in the Senate on a bone
dry" nation for the duration of the
war.
The emergency agricultural 'appro-
priation measure. TO which the
House added the Randall prohibition
amendment before passing the bill
has been in the Senate committee or
agriculture for a month, while Sem
ator Gore. Oklahoma, chairman OF
the committee. has been i'll.
A meeting of the committee will
he held this week, however. with
Senator Smith, South Carolina, act
ing as chairman, and the bill will be
reported out and placed on the calen-
dar for a vote within a week or
two.
The drys are planning their fight
on the floor of the Senate. They Will
seek TO substitute the amendment
offered yesterday by Senator Jones,
Washington. for the Randall amend
ment adopted by the House. BY this
procedure they hope to meet Presi-
dent Wilson's objection to the bone
dry bill as il passed the House.
The Randall amendment If enact
ed into law, would force the Presi-
dent openly TO declare himself on
prohibition. 1t would make an ap-
preparation of S6,100,000 contained
in the bill available only on condi-
ton that the President issue proc
lamation making the nation bone
dry
In messages to Senators the Presi-
dent has declared his opposition TO
the prohibition section of the bill
and said that he considers present
laws prohibiting the manufacture of
whisky and other distilled liquors,
but permitting the manufacture and
sale of beers and light wines, as sat
isfactory.
The dry forces have taken the
stand that the Presidents chief OBJ
lection to the bill as il now stands
is based on the fact that the bill
places the question before him to de-
eide.
The Jones amendment would have
Congress decide the issue. 1t would
prohibit the sale of distilled liquors
Immediately and the manufacture of
beers and light wines within thir-
" days after the bill became law.
The prohibition forces are receiv-
ing some assistance from business
interests in pressing the passage of
the "bone-dry" legislation and are
claiming that the Senate will vote
for "bone-dry' nation.
