Associate* Press Cable to The Brailu Times. Havana, Aug. 24.—In this hour of the government's uncertainty, many eyes are turned instinctively to the United States, not in the expectation of armed intervention, which the bet ter informed realize would, except in the doubtful contingency that Ameri can interests were jeopardized, be quite impossible, but with the hope that the good office's of her being a neighbor may, through suggestion or influence, be used to restore tranquil ity in the republic. The part that the United States played in bringing about an end of hostilities in the far east and more recently in the happy ter mination of the squabble between Guatemala and San Salvador, has made a lasting impression upon the Cuban mind. The large American commercial in terests in the island are expected to exert a strong moral force in support of law and order. Meantime, confus ion exists as to where the lines may be drawn between the friends of the gov ernment and the malcontents.

Encouraged by his bloodless successes at San Luis and San Juan, Guerra is reported to be gathering recruits and threatening the capital. The government has hur ried troops to Pinar del Rio and will, it is believed, take the offensive, forc ing the fighting with Guerra, if he approaches the city. A decisive en gagement is possible before night. Senor Montalvo, who is acting in the capacity of secretary of war, told a correspondent that he' expected to control the situation within twenty days. "I have 3,000 men in the field now," lie said, "and an increase of 2,000 men will be allowed by President Palma' by a decree to that effect. Men are being rapidly recruited and equipped. Besides, we are organizing guerillas. The latter will reach fully a thousand men within a few days. So I may say that within four days we will have six thousand men in the field besides the volunteers which all the towns are organizing." An Associated Press correspondent says that he visited the recruiting stations and found the veterans, who are anxious to fight again for their country, to be a small, though enthus iastic, proportion. Most of the re cruits were boys from 15 to 20 years old. As a rule the recruits were the Special to The Evening Times. ...

The traffic manager of the western rail way reports that trains are running and the telegraph lines operating. Pino Guerra, the Insurgent leader who yesterday captured the town of San Juan de Martinez In the province of Pinar Del Rio, following his cap ture of San Luis the day before, says his policy is to occupy towns as peace fully as possible, to continue local authorities in office, as at present, and change the officials gradually and compel the government' to annul the last elections and hold new ones. It isn't what a man owes, but what he pays that keeps him poor. U. S. EXPORTS TO CANADA DOUBLE GREAT BRITAIN'S Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 24.—It Is often said that Great Britain is slow to act, but when action is taken it is thorough. The British board of trade has often been charged with lack of enterprise in furnishing the British manufactures with information respecting market opportunities in Foreign lands. This may be a legitimate charge, but on the other hand the rapid advances be in furnishing the British manufacturers opportunities In foreign lands. This volume of their commerce would tend to show .that they are still enterpris ing and are still able to hold their own against rivals that annually are gathering strength. ada's trade returns for the fiscal year which ended in June last showed an increase cf Imports from the United States of $14,000,000 and from Great Britain of $S,700,000. In proportion to total volume, the British imports made the better gain of the two. But the motherland is decidedly our best cus tomer. Canada, bought more than two and a half times as much from the United States as it did from Great Britain, while in export trade Great Britain bought about one and a half times more than did the United States. Tile excess In the American over British goods Imported by Canada is greatest, In duty-free goods In other words raw materials for manufacture, of which the United States sold about Ave to Qreat Britain's one dollar's worth. Why Canada should Incline towardB the United States for so large a pro portion of her Imports is a subject well worthy of looking Into. v^'^:""Wf rwo vV:.

A SQUARE DEAL FOR ALL GRAND FORKS, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY' AUGUST 24,1906. I CUE GFTKO WJ_ Henry Bottineau at Hibbing Hunting a Brother, George Bottineau WHO WOX $900 AT HOL'LETTE Special to The Evening Tliucn. Hibbing, Aug. 24.—Henry Bottineau, lumberjack, and a graduate of Carlyle, was in Hibbing looking for his brother George who. he claimed won $900 on the wheel" at Kelliher, a Beltrami county lumbering cainp, Monday night. "I want to help George have a time with that money," he declared, "and if I get him before he blows it he will give me half of whatever he has left." Bottineau had traced his broth er from Kelliher to Beraidji and thence to Hibbing without success and has now gone to Grand Rapids on a fresh scent. His story, while unusu al, is not at all Improbable as such strikes are often made at roulette, a game played throughout the lumber ing country. The two Bottineau boys are well known characters throughout the log ging district of Minnesota. They are of the Red Lake tribe, with enough of French in them to let them work only part of the time. Both are expert log. gers. Their mother was a French woman of force and refinement. Their father was the famous Chief Bottin eau who figured so prominently In the early history of Minnesota. It was the guide Bottineau who walked from Winnipeg to St. Paul with James J. Hill it was the scout Bottineau who headed Jay Cooke's first Northern Pa cific survey across the continent, it was the chief Bottineau who gave his name to Bottineau county. North Da kota, and it was the gambler Bottin eau who with three queens in his hand staked Nicollet Island and lost. The old chief was a man of parts and his abilities were granted by the white men of early Minnesota equal to their own. His wealth at one time was estimated at more than half a million. Henry Bottineau, the chief's son is a brilliant conversationalist. Seated in. the railway station, dressed in the untidy garb of the shiftless lumber jack, he recounted the scenes of his life, the deeds of his father, the tradi tions of the Indians with a perfect command of English and with start ling flashes of wit. while his auditors gaped with wonder. For more than an hour he held his listeners spell bound. He had ideas upon every sub ject—war, rebellion, philosophy, poli tics—and he fortified his position by a readiness in quotation of authors both living and dead which could come only of wide and constant reading. He punctured the claims of the socialists and demanded to know how socialism could prevail so long as men differ In energy and ambition. Holding aloft a flask of whisky he denounced it as the curse of the white and the red man alike—then drained half of it at the climax, he advanced highly on orthodox theories as to marriage as an institution and delivered a genuine philipic in favor of the government regulation of marriage. Asked why he would not save half of his broth er's winnings he shrugged his should ers and replied: "What's the use. My brother will lose his half and then he will come to me, and what can I do? What one of us has, the other has. We might as •well enjoy It together. The sooner it is spent the sooner we will be sober." Bottineau is much in demand as an expert loader. It' is said that no man In the whole north country can equal him for expedition or sureness in pil ing upon sleds the great loads of pine logs that are drawn to "the skidway. It is the only thing of which he is proud. Of his learning, of his elo quence. (and he is equally happy whether expressing himself on Eng lish. French or Chippewa), he cares nothing. He Is known as "Happy Henry" for his good humor is perpetual. The pit tance necessary to take him to Grand Rapids he had to borrow from a more provident brother of the woods but he was as full of the joy of living as though he had already received his half of the $900 from his brother.
