LEADING JEWELER.
Captain Ben Schmid returned
Monday evening from a week's
sojourn at Winfield, Kansas.
The boyB whispered it around
town that his trip was for the
purpose of buying government
horses for the Brenham Field
Artillery. In reality, however,
the captains trip was made for
the purpose of buying a large
consignment of flour with whilh
he expects to feed the reconcen-
tradoe of Washington oounty.
About the meanest thing a citi-
zen can do so fur as his attitude
toward his community goes, J^to
o anything for his town
refuse to do anything for his
himself and then try to defeat'
others who are willing to work.
Petty jealousy is a mean spirit,
but many otherwise admirable
are deformed by it.
Stand Privileges.
All parties desiring stand
privileges at Watson's Grove on
the occasion of the anniversary
picnic of Washington Camp,
April 21st, should call on Mr. J.
G. Rankin, chairman of tho com-
mittee on privileges. The atten-
dance on this occasion promises
to be very largo and the stand
privileges will be correspondingly
valuable.
Hon. John W. Robbins of Ver-
non spent Monday in the city in
the interest of his candidacy for
State treasurer, the job which
Hon. Bill Wortham is at present
administering. Mr. Robbins car'
ries with him the endorsement
of the demooratic executive com-
mittee of Wilbarger county set-
ting forth the facts that Mr. Rob-
bins is in every way qualified for
the place and furthermore that
in view of the heavy democratic
majorities from that section of
the State the Panhandle of Texas
is entitled to recognition on the
State tioket.

Americans Once Occupied Havana.
It is not generally known that
American troops were at one
time in Havana in conjunction
with English soldiers, and that
they suffered principally with
that terrible scourge, yellow fe-
ver. It is the foe to be dreaded
more than all the bullets or shells
of tho Spaniards about Cuba.
James g. Blaine once remark-
ed that the United States could
well afford to purchase Cuba at
"a good round price" in order to
get rid of the annual danger of
yellow fever. A commission
from the United States which
visited the -island several years
ago and investigated the charac-
ter of the continual menace to
that country reported: "Cuba
has become the greatest nursery
and camping ground of one of
man's most ruthless destroyers.
Itself most seriously afflicted, it
annually disseminates to other
lands, as from a central hell, dis-
ease and death."
But Havana has never been
difficult to capture by an armed
force. Santiago de Cuba, on the
southern coast, was the first cap
itol, the seat of government be-
ing transferred to Havana in
1550. The next year pirates, un-
der the notorious Jacob Sores,
sacked the church and the houses
of the wealthy and forced the
commandant of the fort to sur-
render. After committing nu-
merous outrages and murdering
many of the influential citizens,
Sores departed. The place was
afterward repeatedly seized by
buccaneers. It was unsucc2ss-
fally attacked, however, by Sir
Francis Drake in 1585.
In 1762 an English squadron
commanded by Admiral Pocock,
the entire force under charge of
Lord Albemarle, landed soldiers
and sailors at Cojimar, about
four miles from Havana, bom
barded the city and compelled it
to capitulate on August 14, after
a defense of two months. They
retained possession of the city
until July of the following year,
when it was restored to Spain by
the provisions of the treaty of
Paris.
Our army would probably fol-
low the plan of Lord Albemarle,
though, as Cojimar is today with-
in reach of the guns of Morro
castle, an invading army would
probably be landed a little farth-
er east, probably on the beach of
Bacuranaof and from there go
directly inland to destroy the
Havana railway apd thus sever
all communication with Mantan-
zas and combat, if necessary,
with the 60,000 Spanish soldiers.
Troops can also be landed near
the village of Cabanas or Mariol,
a few miles west of Havana, to
tear to pieces the Western rail-
road. But an army of occupa-
tion should not be allowed to stay
there any great length of time.
The deadly climate would soon
decimate tho hardy soldiers of a
more northern region. The in-
surgent forces would serve as
guides and vanguards and might
at an early day be left to pre-
serve tho military government of
the island.
As horses are few in Cuba it
would be necessary for the Unit-
ed States government to trans-
port them for the use of the cav-
alry, and the Texas pony has
been recognized as tho best
breed for this purpose.
But our naval force is suffic-
ient to lay every city in Cuba in
ruins after a few hour' bombard-
ment, and an army is only an
auxiliary to complete the subju-
gation of that gem of tho An-
tilles.

adopted:
"Whereas one of the founda-
tion principles upon which the
order of the Improved Order of
Red Men is founded is'Freedom,'
and whereas our order teaches
loyalty to government and obli-
gates its members to the highest
patriotism and devotion to our
country and its heroes, and,
whereas Washington Camp No.

arranged to celebrate April 21st
in commemoration of the battle
which made our beloved Texas
free, and has extended an invi-
tation to all their friends to join
them in celebrating said holiday
in a proper manner; therefore be it
Resolved, by Shabbona Tribe
No. 20, Improved Order of Red
Men, that we indorse and concur
in the celebration of said da;
and that our tribe attend
picnic in a body, and thereby
show our loyalty to our country
and our devotion to the gray-
haired veterans of the Lost Cause.

Some Facts and Figures About the
Richest Island in the World.
The eyes of the world have
long beon focussed upon Cuba
in consequence of the struggle
going on there, and all reading
people are familiar with tho dark
and terrible history of that strug-
gle; but strange to say, very lit-
tle is known about tho natural
resources of the land which, even
now, with her richest vestments
shredded, is called the inde-
structible "Pearl of tho Antil-
lies," with such wealth in her
soil and undor it as no earthly
power can take away. But with
the dawn of freedom for the un-
happy island at hand, people bo-
gin to turn inquiringly from tho
grewsomo pictures of death and
destruction which havo so long
held their attention, to the pos-
sibilities of Cuba when armies of
industry shall take the placo of
war, and what a panorama of
immense possibility lies shim-
mering before them. Cuba is
600 miles long, 111 miles in
breadth at its widest point and 21
miles at the narrowest point. It
has, therefore, a approximate
area of 43,000 square miles, be-
ing nearly the size of the state of
Pennsylvania. The develop-
ment of Cuba from its earliest
occupancy in 1511 has been con-
stantly retarded and often stop-
ted by the dark cloud of Spanish
oppression, which has been the
enforcement of the principle of
taxation without representation
—a casus belli parallel to tho
one which brought about Ameri-
can independence. Insurrection
after insurrection has been fol-
lowed by defeat and butchery of
the Cubans, but the immortal
longing for liberty could not be
crushed out of their breasts, and
now there dawns upon tho vision
of patriots tho light of freedom
only a little way ahead.
It is interesting and surprising
to the stranger to learn that
within the circumscribed compass
of this island there is concentrat-
ed a greater variety of natural
resources than can be found in
any other island, state, province
or country in the world. This
statement is verified by reliable
statistics and unbiased witnesses.
Its millions of acres of land are
said to be richer, by far than
any in the United States and
will grow anything from apotatoe
to a pineapple; it yields sugar and
tobacco abundantly; it has tre-
mendous forests of mahogany
and other fine woods; its uplands
grow every product known to the
temperate zone, while its valleys
produce luxurant crops of tropi-
cal fruits; its mines yield iron,
copper and magnase; it has also
more than 200 ports.
With the assistance of Ameri-
can and other foreign capital
considerable progress in tho de-
velopment of these natural re-
sources has been made in spite
of the ignorant methods of the
Spanish authorities in handicap-
ping every public enterprise and
retarding everything that does
not increase the revenue or glory
of the powers that be in Madrid.
Large plantations have been put
in cultivation, mines have been
opened and cities have sprung
up. All these sources of revenue
were highly profitable, notwith-
standing heavy taxes until the
present revolution and devasta-
tion began.
The normal population is
1,000,000 persons of Spanish
descent, 10,000 foreign whites,
43,000 Chinese and 500,000 col-
ored people. Havana alone has
a population of 260,000. The
city was founded in 1534 and is
one of the most beautiful, pictur-
esque and famous cities in the
world, it has a splendid harbor
and has always been of great
commercial importance, being
second only to New York in the

In tho dry season rains are not

Many mineral springs, famed
for their great healing properties,
are found on tho island, princi-

the baths of San Diego. The
temperature of the water is 82
degrees F., and it is very strong-
ly impregnated with oxygen,
carbonic acid gases, chloride of
sodium, sulphate of lime, iron,
magnesia, silex and chloride of
calsium. Four glasses of this
water a day and two baths are
said to cure almost every disease
known to materia medica. At
