GEN. RUZ WILL LEAD
Another Expedition Preparing to Fight
For Cuba.
WILL BE COMPOSED OF “STAFF MEH”
j
Physicians Will Go, Taking Instrument*
•nd Medicines With Them—Will Join
General Antonio Maceo.
The Cuban patriots in New York,
ander the direction of General Estrada
Palma, are now engaged in Atting out
a secret expedition which is to start
from that city for Cuba in a few days.
The expedition will be commanded by
General Juan Fernandez Ruz, one of
the best known Aghting generals during
the ten years’ war in Cuba.
The expedition will differ from form
er expeditions sent out by the Cuban
junta, inasmuch as every member will
be a professional man. For former ex
peditions anybody anxious to carry arms
against Spain was enlisted.
The expedition which Ruz will com
mand is nearly organized. Several
American volunteers, mostly young
physicians, have been enlisted, and it
is expected that the expedition will
number about 50.
General Ruz is well known as a Cu
ban patriot. He was captured during
the ten years’ war and served a term of
imprisonment in Spain. When the
present revolution broke out in Cuba,
he came to New York and at once vol
unteered to the junta. General Palma
was glad to accept him, and he has been
one of the conAdential advisers of the
members of the junta.
General Ruz was to have sailed with
General Garcia on the steamship Ber
muda, but was detained in New York
against his will and was promised the
command of the next expedition from
this port.
' About ten men who served on his
staff during the ten years’ war, and
who are now in New York, will accom
pany their old leaden to the front.
The managers of the junta are anx
ious to have General Ruz start as soon
as possible. A swift steamship has been
engaged, it is stated, and the patriots
will board her probably at New York.
The steamer is to carry a cargo of arms,
amiuunition and field pieces for General
Antonio Maceo, who is now in Pinar
del Rio province.
General Gomez, the commander in
chief of the. Cuban army in the field, in
conversation with a correspondent a few
months ago, stated that he did not want
the junta to send men to Cuba.
“What I want,” he said, “is arms
and ammunition. G.ve me 1,000 rifles
and as many machetes and 5,000 rounds
of ammunition tonight, and I will
Lave 1,000 men to use them. What I
need is arms, not men. We have all the
men we want. ”
The expedition under General Ruz
will be the first made up exclusively of
“staff men. ” Os course each member
will be provided with a uniform, a 44
caliber revolver, a machete and a sad
dle. But besides these there is a large
quantity of medical instruments, and
medicine chests will be carried.
General Rnz was seen yesterday by a
reporter. The veteran revolutionist is a
fine looking man and a thorough fight
ing member of the old school. He is
more than anxious to reach Cuba at an
early date in order to aid in driving the
Spaniards from his native country.
General Ruz acknowledged that he '
would leave /or Cuba at an early date. |
Os course he declined to give the exact
date of his departure or the name of
the steamer which would carry him and
his followers. He said he was subject 1
to orders from the junta anti was ready |
to start at a moment’s notice.—New
York World. .
The Ten Horned Teran Cow.
* The most wonderful of the many .
Texan freaks and monstrosities that has
ever came under our notice was the fa
mous “ten horned Jack’county cow. ”
This remarkable freak of nature was
born in Jack county, in the state above
mentioned, in 1887. She was literally
“horns from head to foot. ” At the ter
mination of each of her four legs, in
the place where the regulation split hoof
should have been, were monstrous crook
ed and gnarled horns, seemingly solid
throughout. These hoof horns were not
of the clear and semitransparent, finely '
plicated material characteristic of the ■
horns of the bovine family, but appear- ■
ed more like ram’s horns than anything
else. In 1891 qt 1898. hoo,f

dew claw horns, in addition to those
just described, make a total of eight
horns, which, with the two on her head,
made the total of ten. The man who
owned this queer beast before she was
taken from the range, a Mr. Oliver, re
peatedly sawed these extraordinary
growths off, but they were so persistent
and grevz so rapidly that sbe was finally
sold, because it was an utter impossibil

they should have been.—St Louis Re

Remarkable Facte About Baldness.
A French doctor, who has been stu
dying the subject for many years, says
that out of a hundred people from 20 to
30 years of age, taken at hazard, 27 will
be found to be bald. Women conceal
such a deficiency with great cleverness,
and are not often detected: but while
the loss of hair is not so prevalent among
them as among men, yet, if the propor
tion of the fair sex, whose heads are as
smooth as doorknobs, could be accu
rately learned the results would be un
doubtedly starting. Between the ages
of 30 and 40 the percentage of baldheads
rises to 47 per 10Q.
The critical period, however, is be
tween 40 and 50 years. Out of a hun
dred chance subjects, only 25 had
fairly good growth of hair; the other
75 being almost destitute entirely of
capillary covering. When the 60th
year is passed, this physician asserts,
it is rare to find a man who has
enough hair on the top of his head to
make parting a possibility.
It is consoling, however, to know
that this annoying affliction can now
be cured, as a wonderful remedy has
been discovered that will positively
produce a luxuriant growth of hair
on the baldest head. It is also an ex
cellent remedy for thin eyebrows and
eyelashes, hair falling, scanty parting
will positively force a growth of whis
kers and mustache, on the smoothest
face at any age, besides restoring gray
and faded "hair to its original color.

His Curiosity Aroused.
'-Edison George Thompson, proprietor
and publisher of the St. Paul Dispatch,
recently chatted with a reporter.
“I was traveling through England
and Ireland on foot with a knapsack on
my back and in company with a face
tious friend of mine named Morrison,”
observed Mr. Thompson in the course of
a conversation that touched on a miscel
lany of subjects, “and in our wander
ings we came to an inn.
“It was late at night, but by the
bright moonlight we were enabled to
see that the sign had a counterfeit pre
sentment of two asses’ heads, with this
not unfamiliar legend inscribed over
the picture: .
“ ‘When shall we three meet again?’
“We stood for a moment gazing at it,
when Morrislu went to the inner door
and began to thump upon it with his
cane, while the echoes rang through the
house.
“I was just going to expostulate with
him over his unseemly conduct when
an upper window was thrown open and
the innkeeper thrust out his head and in
an indignant tone demanded what in the
name of all the demons under the earth
we wanted.
“‘That’s all right, old man. Don’t
get excited, ’ called up my friend. ‘ There
are only two asses’ heads on the sign,
and I just wanted to see the other one. ’
“And with that we started up the
road.”—Washington Post.
NINE MONTHS IN BED. CURED
24 HOURS.
T. J. Blackmore, of Haller & Blackmore
Pittsburg, Pa., says: “A short time since I
procured a bottle of “Mystic Cure.” It got
me out of the house in twenty-four hours.
I took to my bed with Rheumatism nine
months ago and the "Mystic Cure” is the
only medicine that did any good. I had
five of the best physicians in the city, but
received very little relic. from them. I
know that Mystic Cure to he what it is rep
resented and take pleasure n racomending
it to ether sufferers.”

It Was a Georgia Male.
A number of indignant citizens were
grouped about a dead mule in Perry
street lane. The mule had just dragged
a load of kindling wood to its destina
tion, and when the driver, who-had been
belaboring the animal, stopped at the
door where the wood was to be delivered
the mule sank to the ground and re
mained motionless between the shafts.
Several passersby who had witnessed the
occurrence hurried to the spot and were
outspoken in their criticisms of the
driver’s brutal indifference. One of the
bystanders took the driver severely to
task for not trying to save the beast’s
life, but the driver went on unloading
the kindling wood and carrying it in the
house, with apparent indifference. When
he had unloaded his cart, he coolly
mounted the seat, gathered up the reins
and shouted, “Wako up dar, you Ras
tus!” The mule cocked up one ear, open
ed one eye, wabbled to his feet and
shambled off up the lane. Then the
crowd melted avzay, and an air of peace
and quietness settled down upon the
neighborhood. —Savannah News.

To Hold • Coast Defense Convention.
Tampa, Fla., May 20.—The board of
trade of Tampa has announ >oil its pur
pose to hold a gulf harbor improvement
and coast defense convention for the
purpose of securing concerted action by
all the important gulf ports for the ad
vancement and protection of their com
mercial interests, the improvement of
their harbors and the establishment of
such fortifications and other means of
defense as may become necessary. To
this end invitations will be extended to
the boards of trade of Galveston, Sabine
Pass, New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola
and Key West to meet in convention in
Tampa about the middle of December
next. Efforts will also be made to se
cure the attendance of members of the
congressional committees controlling
appropriations for such purposes. This
action by the Tampa board of trade is
the result of a conviction that by such
concerted action conflicting interests
may. be harmonized and existing antag
onisms allayed, and by united effort
more can be accomplished for mutual
benefit than by any other means.
Three Killed In a Wreck.
Columbia, S. C., May 20.—There was
a head-end collision on the Columbia,
Newberry and Laurens railroad between
Chapins and Little Mountain, due to a
mistake of the train dispatcher at New
berry. Southbound freight, Conductor
Griffin, was ordered to sidetrack at Lit
tle Mountain to wait until the regular
up freight and an extra freight passed.
The operator gave the conductor only
half of the order, omitting the direc
tions as to the extra. When the regular
freight passed Little Mountain the train
pulled out of the sidetrack, and when
about midway of the high grade below
the station collided at full speed with
the extra. Engineer Williford of Carl
ton, Ga., and two negro train hands,
names unknown, were killed and 14 box
cars burned.
Was Not Willie Meyers.
Atlanta, May 20.—The man arrested
at Bosworth, Mo., supposed to be the
murderer of Forest Crowley, is not
Will Meyers. The Atlanta officer, who
went to the little Missouri town to bring
the criminal back, so wired Sheriff
Barnes.
Giving a man advice and throwing
st mes at a dog has about the same effect.
