Ukmkimos, Culm, .l.-wi. General
Mjixi:i:o (imuz, :oininundor-in-chief
of the Cuban army, has withdrawn to
this part of the island. An Dreviounly
cabled he was not in vited to bo pro.seut
at the evacuation ceremonies at Ha
vana on January 1, and he ia now hero
nursing his feelings of alleged injury
hutained at the hands of our govern
ment. Ah a f-alvo to tho injured feelings of
neglect he has been receiving1 the
adulations of tho Cuban populace of
tho various towns through which he
has passed. General Gome, remains
at tho head of tho Cuban army, tie
considers this to be his pest until tho
army is paid oil'. The amount needed
for this purpose, according to the
Cubans is $10,000,000, which would
give nearly $1,000 to each soldier.
General Gome, will soon proceed to
Santa Clara. This city is the capital
of tho province, and was such a hotbed
of Spanish sympathy during the Cuban
war that Cubans today, in their hour
of victory, ignore the town's name and
have ch ristened it Villa Clara. Here
he follows the same course aa adopted
at Kemedios and Caibarien, namely,
tho uniting of Spanish and Cuban in
terests for the immediate establish
ment of tho Cuban republic and the
furtherauco and growth of the new
united party of Cuban independence.
This idea is already abroad in tho
province of Santa Clara and newly
established Cuban newspapers are
taking it up and eiving it a guarded
prominence.
General Gomez, aa the head of the
Cuban army, occupies a position of
importance and influence which should
not be underestimated. He has bis
enemies and detractors in this same
army, but the fact remains that he is
the leader of the one tangible thing
the populace of Cuba today possesses
upon which they can shower the ex
pressions of their joys and satisfaction
over the departure of the Spaniards.
If the army wore disbanded General
Gomez, who is primarily a fighter and
a man of action, would bo without an
occupation, unless of course, he tan in
the meantime organize and establish
the new united party of Cuban inde
pendence that a political career will
open outlefore him and hold possible
honors for his declining years.

Havana, Jan. 12.5 Jeremiah A.
Miller, cashier of a prominent bank in
Wheeling, W. V'a., has purchased for
a West Virginia syndicate the site of

owner was Manuel Ortiz. The syndi
cate purposes to dredge the port, to
build warehouses and a railroad and
make Cabanas an outlet for the pro

minister to Spain, who is staying at
tho Hotel Inglaterra, was waited on
today by a deputation headed by
Domingo Menguez Capote, secretary
of the department of government, and
Perfecto J,acoste, mayor of Havana,
who expressed in the name of their
compatriots their high appreciation
of Mr. Taylor's services at a critical
stage of Cuba's struggle for liberty.

SOLDIER FRESH FROM MANILA.
H Cecil Jack Arrive Home and Is Kept
ituoy Aoiwerios yaestlons
13. Cecil Jack, a member of tbe First
Nebraska regiment, arrived in this
city on Monday from San Francisco,
having landed there January 10, and
was disc haiged, with 180 members of
the First. He was kept pietty busy
answering questions which were shot
at him from all sides by his friends,
and the story he tells of his experience
since enlisting in the army is quite
interesting.
He says his regiment is stationed
one mile frt m the outskirts of Manila,
and thit the other members from
Plittsmouth are well, but are anxious
to get away from there, now that the
war i over. They left Manila Decem
ber 18. and the only stop made was at
Nagasaki. Jjpan, at which place a
five days' stop was made. This was a
very interesting point, he states. It
is a city of 60,000 inhabitants, beauti
fully situated on a bay. He saw two
trees in a park the.-e which were
planted by General Grant and wife in
1879, during their trip around the
world.
The eea was very rough all the time
during the trip. The thing of interest

which happened was the exploding of
a comet near the ship, which lighted
the h eavens for miles around, tho re
port b"liig plainly heard by Uih pas
son gors.
Tho s initary condition of Mnnil-i is
improved considerably frnn what it
was when th soldiers went Ihero, and
as a result tho soldiers' health is much
better. They are al.-o being fed much
better than they were. An order,
which is rigidly eofo cod, is that uny
soldier found drinking water bef ro it
has been boilod will be court-martialed,
which would give one an idea of the
quality of tho water. He visited the
elect rie light power houe of the city
and says the machin ry is all of
American make and the service is the
best ho ever saw.
One of tho points of interest visitod
by himself, Charles Searle and an-'
other soldier was the city of Mnlabon, i
fifteen miles from Manila with 100,000 1
inhabitants. They saw soma old, but J
beautiful churches, the bell in the,
tower of one bearing the date l.'JtiS. j

natives had ever seen and were looked
upon as curiosities, but were royally

HIGHLY ENTERTAINING LECTURE.
Dr. St rat Ion Lectures luder Ankplci'K of
the Itoys' HUtory Class.
The lecture delivered by Dr. Station
under the auspices of the Boys' His
tory class Saturday evening on "IJ.ioks
and Heading" was one of tho most in
teresting which has ever been de
livered in this city. Tho lecture was
listened to by a fairly good-sizjd audi
ence, but not nearly so large as it
merited.
Willie liamsey, president of the
club, introduced the speaker with us
much ease a9 many older ones could.
The executive board, consisting of
Willie Ramsey, president; l a ley
Campbell, vice president; Robert
White, secretary, and Wade Windham,
treasurer, occupied seats on the plat
form. The members of theyoungr his
tory class were guests of tho boys. Tho
boys, as well as the entire audience,
paid strict attention to the speaker.
Dr. Stratton mentioned the class of
reading matter which should bo used,
named many magazines and period
icals as the proper class. The lecture
will be of permanent benefit to all who
heard It.
About $15 was cleared out of the
lecture, which vill be given to the
public library, and as this was the
boys' initial effort in the way of giv
ing a public entertainment thoy are
quite well pleased with tho result.
TEN SONS IN THE ARMY.
'Jaeeu Victoria's titfts Urine to Light
Some Curious Fact.
The gift by Queen Victoria of $30
ind her portrait, which her majesty
sent to a Mrs. Keveth, of St. Bieward,
Cornwall, in appreciation of the ser
vice of Mrs. Keveth's seven sons in the
army, has had the effect of bringing
to light several other cases of large
families who have uphehld the flag of
old England. Whether these cases
have been discovered with a view of
shaving the queenly reward or merely
to show that there "were others" does
not seem to be clear, but the fact is
that there have been not a few fami
lies In which a large number of sons
have fought in the same regiment. The
Battye brothers are believed to have
been the most numerous of any one
family of fighters. There were ten
of these men, and they were all In the
army at one time. Battles took off
four, but the others went on fighting,
and made good records without meet
ing disaster. One of them achieved
signal distinction, being appointed
military knight at Windsor. This was
Col. Montague Battye, and his instal
lation took place not long ago. Eight
sons were given by Mrs. Margaret
Clark, who died at Plymouth in 1817.
Seven of these sons entered the naval
service of John Bull, the remaining son
donning the uniform of a soldier. The
navy boy had harder "going" than
the one who fought on land, for in an
engagement commanded on one side
by Admiral Keppel five of the sons
were killed in one day.

twenty miles a day. The cause of his
lameness occurred many years ago
when he was quite a young man and
Queen Victoria was visiting Brussels.

Fastest Four-Footed Swimmer.
The otter is the fastest swimming
quadruped known. In the water it ex

with the greatest ease, diving and

a speed equal If not superior to that of
many fishes.

' WHITE SLAVES IN HUNGARY.
, Hungary I..nt, IIarne..a to flow
I.Ike lieasts of Harden
From the London Mall: Stephen Var
konyi, the leader of the peasants' revo
lution which convulsed Hungary dur
ing the early months of this year, has
just been sentenced to one year's im
prisonment for high treason. The
movement which was inaugurated by
Varkonyi was a revolt against the
remnants of serfdom which still exist
in some parts of Hungary. In these
districts each peasant is compelled to
work fifty days in the year for the
landowner without pay. These fifty
days of compulsory labor are not suc
cessive or at fixed intervals, but when
the landowner has work to be done he
-sends a drummer through the village
and every male Inhabitant is obliged
to respond to the summons. There
upon so many men are selected as re
quired. Tho landowner almost in
variably exacts this labor in the sum
mer, when the peasants' time Is most
valuable to him. In summer the peas
ant can earn as much as one shilling
a day; in winter not more than four
pence or sixpence. In winter the peas
ants are compelled to act as beaters in
the magnates' hunts for a wage of
twopence a day. The occupation is
a dangerous one and the time Is not
counted in the anual fifty days' com
pulsory labor. The wives of the peas
ants are required to sweep and scrub
the local manor house once a week
without pay. Finally, many landown
ers use the peasants as beasts of bur
den, harnessing four men to plow in
stead of two oxen.
Stephen Varkonyi, who instigated
the revolt against these degrading con
ditions of labor, is a sort of Hungarian
Wat Tyler. He 13 the son of poor peas
ants, was educated In the farmyard
and graduated in the fields. He Is quite
a typical horny handed son of toll, la
physically tall, stoutly built, and small
eyes, with their suggestion of the Mon
golian slit, and has that rough kind of
natural humor which appeals to the
simple peasant mind. Varkonyi.whose
power over the agricultural population
of his country Is unbounded, is one of
the most interesting figures In modern
Hungarian life.

Ulberuatiau of a Frog.
According to Simon Henry Sage, the
frog doos not hibernate in leaves or the
trunks of trees, but in a dry hole in
the ground not likely to freeze. He
scratches the hole with his hind feec
and enters backward. Once inside
there Is apparently no trace of the fact
outside, says the London Globe. Frogs
found under frozen leaves are still able
to move about. Mr. Sage has found
hibernating frogs with their extremi
ties and skin frozen, tut their vital or
gans were still intact, and they recov
ered their activity on being liberated.

The Oldest Dressmaker's lilll.
Most likely the oldest dressmakers'
bill in the world has been discovered
on a Chaldean tablet, dated 2,800 B. C.
It has an entry of "92 pure vestments
for the priests." Among the items are
"ten white robes of the Temple, eight
robes of the house of his lady, ten
collars of the house of his lady, ten
pair of gold collars, two white robes,
and four scented robes." Also "two
winders," probably scarfs for binding
about the waist.
