Havana October 10. Havana has
known dull times in tho past. Accor-
ding to the merchants however there
never has been a period of stagnation
quite equal to the present. Tho con-
oltion Is a uatural and inevitable one
but this knowledge docs not lesson
their impatience.
It is a literal truth that barring the
Spanish ofl'cluls who will bo deprived
of their office nni a few very few
radical Cuban patriots who hoped
that their own fljg would be run up
as soon as the Spanish ensign came
down everybody is praying for the.
American military occupation. Until
the custom house is in the control of
the American officials busine a In Ha-
vana will continue stagnant. On the
bee a of tnis control will follow a per-
iod of activity greater perhaps than
the situation warr nts but the nor
ml basis will ultimately be readied.
It is a curious Illustration of the
Spanish character that the coming of

TALKS OF TKAVELKItS.
Jhrer Dnimtnrn llelatt Their Trouble
Varloue Setllon:
Three drummer. sat In the Capitol
hotel last evening exchanging exper-
iences. Tho fat drummer with check
trousers and a checkered career led off
with his experience In a California
hoodlum town. Ho said :
"On the opening of tho railroad from
Los Angeles up tho constt 1 tuailo ;i
trip to tho now country. My tlrst stop
was at a ouo-horsc town called Bantu
Paula. It is a vlllago In tho foot hills
of the mountain and was settled by
outlaws. Their children had grown
up in ignorance and were auoiu us
brutal as human beings nn well be
A stranger never came thcro unless It
was an officer hunting for a criminal.
Well 1 stopped oft to sell some goods.
That day the young hoodlums took tho
wheels from the wagons of the coun-
try people who caino In to trade and
that night they shaved the tails of some
horses of visitors Next they broko
up n church meeting. by tiring- pistols
around the building. The proprietor
of tho ntoro where I wan went out to
retnoiB'rato with them und they
htoned his building breaking the win
dows and dtivliig us out. So I did
not sell any goods. I took tbu morn-
ing train and left town. Keep away
from Santa Paula" concluded tho
drummer.
The drummer with the falsetto voice
and a fulho fct of teeth also piped up :
"I can beat thatl Whnt do yon
tlilL.lt of a city marshal who will K
round complaining that the gamblern
have not paid him for the privilege i.f
running illegal games? While down
in St. Augustine Florida I met thnt
kind of a ay. Uverythlug was wide
open. The gamblers did not fear the
law nor respec the people. They had
cuii.o to rob visitors ju&t like hu big
hotels ruilroads und other graflurv
and refused to be held up by tho po-
lice. Tli lb made thu police hot hut
they could not help tin iiuolvcs. St.
Augustine is a groat pluie for hold-
ups. A mail wits not safe on thestrectH
after night when the police are around
They uro narrow and crooked. I mean
the streetb Hut tht.ru was n hold up
ouo night mid a policeman olTeuul to
recover the plmidu If he wan paid for
It! It 1b tho crookedest nnd filthiest
town I ever saw and I huvo icon
many" concluded tho drummer with
he voice.
"That's nothing" chimed in the
long slim drummer with a rasal
twang. " During the boom in Alabama
I went down to a dingy place called
Attn) la. Tho people looked like they
were all run ing blind tiges and were
their own custoincrN. When the train
came in the rowdies fired revolvers In
tho streets to terrify tho strangers.
In tho afternoon there were three
lights and I was told that it was a re
markably quiet day. Tho mayor hold
court In thcktrccts; that Is ho lined
th a men remitted thu linos and then
toM their friends to persuade them to
go home. 1 thought this was queer
justice. No I did not sell any goods.
I took thu night train for Chicag '."
IIWIJ Ao .!! I':
Aneut tho rumor that Dr. L. Hayncs
Mux ton had bout; lit rebldcncu property
In Oklahoma Oily and that he would
soon move to that vl'iagc a Lk.adku
reporter called on Dr. Iluxton and
asked if the report was true. The
doctor said there was nothing what-
ever in tho report. In explanation of
how ho camo bv the Oklahoma City
property ho said that rnu day he was
in that town and. meeting a real
entat- man asked him if there was
any chance to trade a black jack farm
for city property. Tho agent said yes
and In a few days a trade was made.
The farm In question had cost the. doc
tor money every one of the eight years
h had own d it and he decided to
dispose of it in some manner.

tijn consisted of David Muskrat and

ter and Robert Owon a friend of Uo
tribe. Acting Secretary Ryan received
the delegation and assured them of
the existence of the luw. Tho Indians
were not satisfied with this and asked
the secretary to tign his name to a
doenmnnt t that effect". This was
cheerfully acceded to Mr Ryan writ'"'
