ESTONEZ 6ETS AWAY SAFELY
_
Regular Troops Sally Forth in Search
of Insurgents When Damage
Is Done.
Santiago, Cuba.—The insurgents
have burned the postoffice, telegraph
office, barracks of the rural guard
and several houses at La Maya, thirty
miles from Santiago.
Eugenie La Coste, one of the rebel
leaders, has proclaimed himself gov
ernor of Tartaros. north of Guanta
namo. He has issued a proclamation
ordering all planters and proprietors
in that district to contribute $6,000
each and also arms and ammunition
on penalty of having their estates
burned.
Lieutenant Colonel Consuegra is re
ported to have engaged the rebels in
the vicinity of Daiquiri, killing five of
them.
The rebel trooper captured Satur
day near El Cobre turns out to be a
person of no less importance than
Luna, chief of staff of General Ivonet,
the rebel commander.
Havana.—General Estenez. the real
leader of the negro insurgents, has
captured and burned the town of La
Maya, on the branch line of the Cuba
railroad, thirty miles from Santiago.
The government gave out this infor
mation Sunday night.
A column of regulars, commanded
by Major Sanguily, had occupied La
maya for the last two days, but sal
lied forth Sunday evening in search of
insurgents. Hardly had the regulars
left when Estonez with 800 men at
tacked the handful of rurales. Citizens
ernieu inemseMes anu aneuipieu iu
oppose the insurgents, but were com
pelled to retreat, losing several
wounded. Estonez then entered the
town, which was sacked and burned.
The flames were seen by Major
Sanguily's command, which hastened
back, but found the town destroyed.
The insurgents retired into the hills.
Famava was a small place composed
of about seventy houses, the inhabit
ants of which were mostly negroes.
The general forward movement of
the Cuban troops apparently is still
deferred, pending completion of the
disposition of the troops ordered by
General Monteaguedo.
Reports from the scene say that
the rebel leaders continue to exact
contributions of arms and money from
property owners, who are mostly for
eigners, under threat of applying the
torch. The government is making
.strong efforts to supply plantation
guards, hut seemingly lacks sufficient
men without depleting the ranks of
the troops in active service.

WHEN THE ROMANCE FADED
Plain-Spoken Husband Came to the
Point With a Few Words of
Unvarnished Truth.
Congressman Jim Mann was on his
way back from Chicago, and couldn’t
help hearing the conversation of the
couple in the section right behind
his. They looked like newly married
folks, says Mack’s National Monthly,
but were not on their honeymoon, as
Mann leaned by deduction. The
woman laid down a newspaper she
had been reading and said- to her hus
band:
“Do you know, i wish I had one
of these affinities. Oh, I think it
would be just gr-a-n-d to sit on a rock
with somebody and have him rave
about the incomparable golden color
of my hair and tell me that my eyes
were the most beautiful in the whole
world, and-”
“Uh, huh,” said the husband, yawn
ing.
“And that the delicate pink of my
cheeks had been painted there by the
angels, and that he couldn’t live with
out me. O-oh, I think an affinity like
that would be-”
“ ’Tisn’t an affinity you want,” in
terrupted her husband. "What you
seem to want is a plain, old-fashioned
liar.”

CUTICURA OINTMENT HEALED
BAD SORE ON LIMB
“Some time ago I was coming up
some steps when the board crushed
under me like an egg shell, and my
right limb went through to the knee,
and scraped the flesh off the bone
just inside and below- the knee. I
neglected it for a day or two, then it
began to hurt me pretty badly. I put
balsam fir on to draw out the poison,
but w hen 1 had used it a week, it hurt
so badly that I changed to-oint
ment. That made it smart and burn
so badly that I couldn't use it any
more, and that was the fourth week
after I was hurt.
"Then I began to use Cuticura Oint
ment for the sore. It stopped hurting
immediately and began healing right
away. It was a bad-looking sore be
fore Cuticura Ointment healed it, and
I suffered so I couldn't sleep from two
days after I fell until I began using
Cuticura Ointment.
“Cuticura Soap is the best soap I
ever saw. I have used ail kinds of
soap for washipg my face, and always
It would leave my face smarting. I
had to keep a lotion to stop the smart,
no matter how expensive a soap I
used. I find at last in Cuticura Soap
a soap that will clean my face and
leave no smarting, and I do not have
to use any lotion or anything else to
ease it. I believe Cuticura Soap is the
best soap made.” (Signed) .Mrs. M.
E. Fairchild. 805 Lafayette St., Wich

Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold
