THE FUSION WAS A FAUD.
Mr. Newcomb has received a
letter from a prominent business
man in a distant town from
which we make this extract:
“I wrote you sometime ago
that fusion was a bad thing espe-
cially with the Populists. The
vote shows we gained nothing
and also shows that the present
controling element of the Re-
publican party have done nothing
and also shows that the present
caontroling element of the Re-
publican party has done
nothing to build up the party in
the state. The reform movement
under lion. M. Gregor of nous-
under Hon. MacGregor of Hous-
party in this state and must not
be abandoned.”

THE COUNT COMPLETE.
THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION IS
NO LONGER UNKNOWN.
The Big Six Goes in With the Exception
Of McCloskey Who Will be Suc-
ceeded by Joe Kohr.
Y’esterday evening finished the
count of the votes cast at the
polls in Bexar county at the re-
cent election. The last city pre-
cincts to be completed were Nos.
12 and 2.
On Tuesday the county com-
missioners will open the ballot
boxes and make known the offi-
cial count of all the precincts.
The Light today publishes the
count as far as could be obtain-
ed from figures furnished by pre-
siding officers and while the re-
sult can be seen by the appended
figures the official results will
not be known until given out by
the county commissioners.
It will be seen that Joe Kohr
has been elected constable by a
majority of 53 votes over Mc-
Closkey and that Chas. Guer-
guin has been elected county
commissioner of Precinct No. 1;
Jessup M. Bell of Precinct No. 2;
Peter Jonas No. 3. and John
Wilkins No. 4.
The Light’s figures which are
given as true and unbiased show
that Noonan leads Slayden. Pre-
cincts Nos. 19 25 32 36 and 50
have not been heard from al-
though the votes have all been
counted and the ballot boxes
turned in but the presiding offi-
cers have neglected to prepare
“outside” lists for the conven-
ience of the public.
Only the names of candidates
that were ‘’in the race” are pub-
lished. The following is a list

CUBA’S BOY SOLDIER.
He Is Eleven Tears Old and Four
Feet in Height
Little Ramon Stole a Mauser Hille from a
Spanish Soldier and Then Tramped
a Long Distance to Join the
Patriot Army.
The smallest soldier in the Cuban
army is Ramon Fonseca son of the
fighting Col. Fonseca whose guerrillas
worry the Spaniards about the city of
Puerto Principe. lie is 11 years old
and four feet in height and weighs
about 85 pounds. He has been to school
for a port of the time but he knows
more about skirmish lines than he does
about arithmetic. He is as familiar
with the whirr of Mauser bullets as an
American boy is with the chirp of the
cricket and ho can look into the flash
of a Spanish volley without winking.
Little Ramon’s father says the New
York Journal forbade him to go to the
front so he lived on a farm just out-
side of Puerto Principe with an uncle
who is supposed to be loyal to the Span-
iards. One afternoon a few months
ago a Spaniard column passed by the
Fanseca estate and a hungry soldier
slipped from the ranks to forage on his
own account. The soldier spied a fine
pullet and laid down his Mauser rifle
in the tall grass so as to give chase with
greater swiftness.
Little Ramon who was hid in the
house near saw the act and made his
plan with the promptness of a veteran.
He stole from the shed and hid the rifle
under some old straw in one of the
stores and then got out of the way as
fast as his stocky little legs would car-
ry him.
The soldier danced and swore and
called on the saints until the rear
guard was nearly out of sight; then he
remembered that Cuba was not a safe
place for soldiers straying from the
columns so he captured a pig to make
peace with the sergeant and hurried
after the column. Ramon said nothing
to his parent but after supper when it
was dark he shouldered the rifle and
started out to find his father’s troop
in the forests that cover the foothills of
the Sierra Najazes.
It was along tramp through the hot-
test part of Camaguey laid waste by
fire and sword terribly still and safe
CUBA'S YOUNGEST PATRIOT.
only for the numbers of a party. When
he struck from the main roads to the
woods the darkness became so intense
that he lost his way. Boughs of trees
struck him in the face and clinging
brambles tripped him and tore his flesh
but he struggled on manfully still lug-
ging the ten-pound rifle.
fhe moon rose and tired out he sank
under a tree where he spent the rest of
the night. At dawn he got up stiff and
hungry but limped along pluckily still
carrying his precious rifle. The morn-
ing wore on and little Ramon still con-
tinued his search through the woods.
At noon he heard the stamping of un-
shod horses’ hoofs and saw mounted
men approaching an opening in the for-
est. He didn’t know whether they were
insurgents or the Spanish guerillas so
he hid in a thicket of wild pineapples
and as they came by he gave them the
Cuban challenge: “Halto quien va!”
Then he saw the red and blue cockade
and knew that he was among friends.
It was a party of scouts of Col. Fon-
seca’s force who had started out from
camp that morning. Little Ramon was
taken on a horse before one of them
and brought back to camp rifle and all
where he at once became a hero. After
his pluckiness Col. Fonseca had not the
heart to send him home so he gave him
n horse a machete and a pouch of am-
munition and enrolled him as a regular
soldier of the troop.
At the battle of Saratoga where the
insurgents under Gomez for three
days stonned the Spanish camp little
Ramon Fonseca rode each day under
heavy gun fire in the foremost line of
the attacking party. He rode amid the
smoke and shot as carelessly as the sol-
diers. Men were wounded and fell
dead about him. but to him it was pas-
time to be a real soldier. He has been
in other skirmishes since and his com-
rades although they do not let him do
guard duty say that he is about as good
a fighting man as any of them.
Jie is a bright-eyed cheerful little
fellow and although he is not up to the
weight of i.is rifle he carries it still and
shows it with great pride. Gen. Gomez
has promised to make him an officer
when the war is over.
The boy patriots in the American
army have always been a feature chief-
ly as drummer boys and at times they
have distinguished themselves for
bravery in Ihe thick of the fight. More
than one veteran of the civil war is to-
day drawing a pension for service*
