Ir. Hitt said:
It is to this hope of recognition of

•ROY/iU,
Cubans is how probable. For a
year they have battled the armies
of Spain. In a recent statement
by the Spanish minister, addressed
to the people of the United States, he
paid Spain had sent 125,000 men into
Cuba. With this k'reut urjny, more
than 4o war vessels have been co
operating to shut the Cubans in and
subdue them. Far from beinp subdued,
they have fought on successfully for v
year, each month and each week press

authority lias extended over (00 miles

We cannot doubt that the executive

been apparent from week to week for
two months past. It will not be long

NEW YORK, April 4. A special to
Tlu- World from Madrid, Spain, says:
Popular excitement has been revived.
The Madrid newspapers speak in terms
of angry ridicule of the resolution in
troduced in the United States senate
by that "madman Call," as they style
him.
The enterprising St. Catalan even
goes to the length of seriously offering
to raise a corps of 12,000 volunteers, if
the government will arxh, equip, carry
them across the Atlantic and land
them on any coast of the United States,

complaint of Crawford citizens that the

without state restrictions at the fort,
has resulted in the post canteen being

Thinks Ho Caa Find Gold.
MINNEAPOLIS, April 4 —A California
gold prospector has written a letter ad
dressed to Mayor Pratt, in which he
advances the claim that gold can be lo
cated in Eastern Minnesota. The
writer spent a number of years in that
section of the Btate 11 years ago, and
from his Western gold mining experi

be found in the North Star state. He
suggests that the mayor organize a
stock company with large capital and
employ him to locate the yellow nibtal.

Barton, president of the American Red

case. The Turkish government allows
the agents of Miss Barton to distribute
the relief funds, the only stipulation
being that it must be done in tho pres
ence of the Turkish officials.
