It reported that the leKl govern

A in rif ins sln uhl establish a protco

promise to give tho Filipinos full in
dependence in a stated period. It ia
alto stated that the Filipinos will de
mand otticial recognition.
KlTorts are bying made to bring
about another conference with the
rebels. Tho educated Filipinos are
anxious to avoid trouble and it ia hoped
that tho militmt Filipinos will recade
before v. iser counsel. In tho mean
time the tension is extremes on both
sides.
IIonu Kono. Jan. 12. The Fili
pinos here say that ten American
volunteers jumped overboard from the
transports bound from Manila to
lloilo, swam ashore and said the' had
not volunteered to fight Filipinos.
The report is not confirmed.
Comei Out For Free Cuba.
Havana, Jan. 12. Tho Diario de la
Marina, representing extreme pro
Spanish opinion and interests in Cuba,
ji paper heretofore strongly annex
ationist, has come out squarely for free
Cuba. This action, it is explained, is
the result of several important meet
ings of tho principal Spanish land
owners and business men in Havana.
The exemplary behavior of the Cuban
army was commented on. Loading
Cubans were consulted with. Span
iards and their former enemies agreed
to bury the hatchet and stand together
for self-government.
Gomez's speech at Caibarien, urging
unity, and his order to keep the CubaD
army under organized discipline to
prevent the trooDS from scattering
into brigandage, have had much to do
with bringing tho Spanish element to
look with favor upon free Cuba.
Cuban soldiers are unpaid, poorly fed
and dissatisfied. If turned loose they
would take to the woods and resume
guerrilla warfare.
With the ultra-Spaniards and the
Cubans united the Diario de la Marina
does not see much further need of
American troops in Havana or Cuba.
It eays that the Spaniards understand
the Cuban leaders. The Cubans, it
claims, have demonstrated their abil
ity to .preserve order, as they have
been in undisputed control of 98 per
cent of the Cuban Iowds. This pres
ent evacuation, it is argued, annihi
lates annexation.
Governor General Brooke has been
carefully considering the formation of
a cabinet of civil advisers and has de
cided to have four secretaries the
first, cf state and government; the sec
ond, of finance; the third, of justice
and public instruction; and the fourth,
of agriculture, industry, commerce
and public works. Only prominent
residents of the island will be invited
to join the cabinet. The go veror gen
eral received acceptances from two,
whose names am reserved until all
four cm be announced. One of the
other two may be a Spaniard, though
it is probable that all four will be
Cubans. They will b3 experts in the
various departments which they will
advise.
Recall Troops From 1'ana.
Pan A, HI-, J"- 12. Governor Tan
ner has notified Sheriff Downey and
Lieutenant Colonel Frank Wells, who
have charge of the coal miners' strike
situation and command of the state
militia po-t here, of his intention at
an early date to recall all troops, leav
ing matters entirely in control of
Sheriff Downey and his deputies.
Governor Tanner, it is stated, gives as
his reason for recalling the soldiers
the coal operators have naa
that
.i. to amicably adjust the dil-
ample
ferences with the miners, and as there
s-eems to be no trouble imminent ne
ees no need for further retaining toe
,hrp. Operators ana tneir
troops

frien
troops depart, but Sheriff Downey eays
no matter what results ne w,
to control the situation.

A GREAT FRENCH ETCHER.
Would Have l!en a Fine Tulator but
for Color llltudness.
Charles Meryon born in 1821 was
brought up to the navy, going first In
1837 to the naval school at Brest, says
Pall Mall Gazette. As a youth, he
sailed round the world. He touched
at Athens; touched at the then savage
roasts of New Zealand; made sketches,
a few of which, in days -when most of
his greater work was done, he used
as material for some of his etchings.
Art even then occupied him, and deep
ly interested as he soon got to be In
it, he seems to have had a notion that
it was less dignified than the profes
sion of the navy, and after awhile he
chose deliberately the less dignified
because it was the lees dignified. He
would have ub believe so, at any rate;
he wished his father to believe so. And
in 1845, having served creditably and
become a lieutenant, he resigned his
commission. A painter he could not
be. The gods, who had given him,
even In his youth, a poetic vision and
a firmness of hand, had denied him the
true sight of color; and I remember
seeing hanging up in the salon of M.
Hurty, who knew him, a large, impres
sive pastel of a ship cleaving her way
through wide, deep waters, and the
sea was red and the sunset sky was
green, for Meryon was color blind. He
would have to be an engraver. He
entered the workroom of one M.-Blery,
to whom in after times, as his wont
was, he engraved some verses of his
writing appreciative verses, sincere
and unfinished "a toi, Blery, mon
maitre." The etchings of Zeeman.the
Dutchman, gave him the desire to etch.
He copied with freedom and interest
several of Zeeman's neat little plates,
and addressed him with praises, on
another little copper, like the one to
Blery "a Zeeman, pointre des mate-lots."
NORTHERN FUR COMPANIES
Tho Einpoyes Were Lads Born in tli'
Scotch Highlands.
Latterly all the employes of the Hud'
son Bay company were caught young;
only lads born in the solitudes of the
highlands could habituate themselves
to the life of loneliness; only constitu
tions of iron, hardened under heredi
tary conditions, culd endure so tre
mendous a strain, says Blackwood's
Magazine. It was essential that the
brain power of the factors should bo
unimpaired, and that their energies
should rise superior to the depressing
surroundings in fact, that the man
must be all there when a sudden call
was made on his mental resources. It
may be assumed that the first adven
turers consisted chiefly of Englishmen,
although the Scotch invasion of Eng
land had set in with the accession of
King James. But it is certain that
afterwards, both with the Hudson Bay
company its great Canadian rival, the
names of factors, traders and promin
ent partisans, with scarcely an excep
tion, were Scottish. The story of trade
and discovery in the northwest read3
like a muster roll of the clans, and
mainly of the northern clans of the
second order. There are MacTav
ishes, MacGillivrays, McKays, Mcl-el
lans, McDougalls with Frasers and
Stuarts and the French Frobisliers. A
Mackenzie, a Fraser, and a Thompson
gave their names to as many mighty
rivers. That came in the natural
course of things. The company found
Its best recruiting grounds in the
highlands, and enlisted the martial
spirit of the mountaineers for a coun
try where local feuds were forbidden.
USESGOLF HOSE FOR LECCINGS
She Says They Heat the Others All
TTollow.
Now that winter really seems to have
arrived the girl of the period has
turned her attention to something that
will keep her warm and at the same
time look neat and not in the least
bunglesome. Gaiters are so decidedly
out of style and make her foot look
large, besides have large buttons up the
side, that invariably catch in the skirts
and ruin many a dainty silk petticoat,
that women no longer (vear them. The
long, closely-knit, wool tights that
reigned for so many winters are so
much trouble, if a girl is in a great
hurry, and a Chicago girl usually is,
so she has discarded the tights. At
tention was turned to the old-fashioned
leggins that our grandmothers were
wont to wear in cold weather. But that
was before the advent of the bicycle
and many other accesorie3 to a girl's
comfort and pleasure, and the leggins
are so clumsy and not in the least
dainty. So the up-to-date maiden has
Invented a new contrivance for the golf
hose. She purchases those without
feet and pulls them on over her stock
ings to take the place of leggings,
tights and gaiters. They are comfort
able, look well and are tight enough
to stay up without guards of any sort.
Power of a Pound of Coal.
A curious and interesting calculation
has been made on the dynamic power
of coal. From this we learn that a
single pound of good steam coal has
within it dynamic power equal to the
work of one man for one day. Three
tons of the same coal represent a man's
labor for a period of twenty years, and
one square mile of a seam of coal, hav
ing a depth of four feet only, repre
sents as much work as 1,000,000 men
can perform in twenty years. Such
calculations as the above may serve
to remind us how valuable a commod
ity coal really is.

At the time of the recent division of
troops in Germany many cases of se
vere illness, particularly of typhoid
fever, were reported In the encamp
ments. The surgeons stated that these
were due to the use of spoiled and
health-destroying ra'ions. The minis
ter of war has ordered a rigid inspec
tion, as a consequence, of all army sup
plies now In stock in the military
warehouses. Besides that, an inspec
tor, accompanied by a physician, will
visit the canteen of every camp at odd

FORTIFIED MONASTERY.
Where 1 1 1 Monk Showed Contempt for
llrltlnh Attacks.
For a country the ruler of which
holds such emphatic views on the sub-
; loot of universal peace. Russia holds
sire points as to the best method of
protecting vital spots, they can do no
better than pay a visit to this abode of
monks and take a few lessons in prac
tical defense from the practical breth-
no point in the solid wall could the at-
tacks of an enemy make an impres
plon. The huge rocks make a line near
ly a mile in circumference. It was
during the period of the Crimean war
that the strength of the fortifications
was tested and proved. The walls and
the towers held huge guns, and the
men behind the guns knew their busi
ness, which was to pour a fire into the
British White Sea squadron. The
monastery, which consists of six
churches, held a valuable store of pre
cious stones and statuary. The monks
did not remain inside during the shell
ing of their home, but coolly walked
nround the ledges of the granite walls
to show their indifference to the work
of the attacking forces. The monas
tery is a noted place, and it is estimat
ed that the yearly number of pilgrims
visiting it amounts to 10,000. Monks
man the steamers which carry these
crowds of men and women anxious to
see the fortifications and the relics in
the churches.

Indian Chiefs at Carlisle.
The Indian chiefs of the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe tribes of Oklahoma, who
recently paid a visit to the Indian
school at Carlisle, Fa., attracted much
attention there. The Cheyennes were
dressed in their' native costumes and
all smoked cigarettes with evident en
joyment. The chiefs had been to Wash
ington investigating and protesting
ngainst claims which they allege were
fraudulent and trumped up against
them by persons living on the borders
of the Indian reservations, apparently
because the claimants knew the In
dians have money in the United States
