Agoncillo. in this Interview, is quoted as declaring that the Insurgents had a formal agreement with Rear Admiral Dewey', whereby absolute freedom was promised them in return for their as sistance. When Agoncillo was asicea If the agreement was in writing, he said; "No, we da net regard the Unit ed States as a grasping power and felt that a verbal agreement was quite auf. flcient." Major General Wesley Merrltt dis credits the" statement attributed - to AgonclKo by the Globe's correspondent at'Hcr.g Kcng. General Merrltt said that from conversations he had with Admiral Dewey he was , satisfied that ro agreement r,a ncin micitu nm with the Philippine leaders.

He leaves th administration to choose between th two systems presented by him and ther decide whether to order the work t proceed at once or to take chances or an epidemic following an Influx o American visitors Into Cuba. Dr. Brunner has Just forwarded tc Washington complete records on th mortality of Havana from January 1 to October 13.

CUEAN-AMERICAN ROMANCE. A Ercken Heart--Favlr Marlac--Su'c'de- Teadweod. S D (Special ) A very rr.antie love affa'r has Jusl come to efct near Hermcsa. which has founda tion enough fcr a brilliant novel. Albert Martin was a rancher living Jown near the Cheyenne river, in Zle back county. When the call for volun teers came he was one of the first to go o the front. He fought as a private at El Caney, ir.d after the battle he met Ramona Perez, the daughter cf an officer In Sarcia's- command. According to his own tdmlsslon he r.ade as ardent love to her as his own mperfect knowledge cf the Spanish and her entire Ignorance of the Er.g- Ish language would permit. He pro fessed to have meant nothing serious, towever. and suprcstd the girl also un derstood It as merely a harmless flir tation. It seems he was mistaken. . Socn afterward he was attacked ty fever and sent hc-me.cn sick leave. He was engaged before his departure to the war to the daughter of a neighbor ing ranchman, and lest he be called on to serve again when his furlough expired arranged to be married last week. Meantime it appears his Cuban sweet heart had been investigating the cause of his disappearance. When she learn ed he had gone home ill she resolved to follow and nurs him. So she dress ed herself in her brother's clothes, crossed to Jamaica and there, finding her money exhausted, stowed herself away on a fruit schooner bound for New Orleans. The captain treated her with much consideration when he discovered her and tried to persuade her to return to Cuba. She rejected his advice and from New Orleans tramped up the Mis sissippi and Missouri rivers and across South Dakota to Hermosa. When she reached Hermosa she learned of her lover's approaching mar riage with another young lady, an American, living near bis ranch. She Is now a raving" maniac. At the same time the American girl heard of her lover's unfaithfulness and threw him . over. That night Martin rode into Hermosa, drank heavily until morning;, then started to return home. A few hours later his body was found floating in the Cheyenne. No one knows whether he drowned himself purposely "or blundered Into deep water while at tempting to ford the stream in his in toxicated condition. Miss Helen Gould is to be presented with-an album containing the auto graphs of as many soldiers and sailors as care to send them. They are to be sent in letters, on paper suitable for pasting in the album, which Is also to contain a set of resolutions. There will be no expense to the senders, and the collection will form a memorial which Miss Gould says she will value highly. The little Count Castellane has to work almost too hard for a count in trying to get money out of the Goulds The awful rumor is about that work is stopped oh the red marble Castellane Paris palace because tho countess and her family found out that the count had an arrangement with the builders and architects by which he got 40 pei cent commission. Anna Gould must wish that she had stayed at home with her good sister, Helen Gould. The Inventor down in Baltimore whe is said to have found a way of extract ing wealth from sawdust appears in significant beside Rev. Mr. Jernegar and his gold-salted sea water. General Blanco's orders that nobodj wearing the Cuban uniform shall b permitted to enter Havana will nol work hardship on anybody, as no one seems to know what the Cuban uniform is. Governor Tanner of Illinois was on of five members of his family to sery in the civil war. his father and threa brothers enlisting with him. The fath er and two of his sons died during th progress of the' war. . "... THE BOTTOMLESS JUG. I saw it hanging P In the kitchen of a thrifty, health sturdy farmer in Oxford county. Mfne a bottomless Jug! The hest si that the curious thing was tak!ngr.y eye, and smiled "You are wondflr.g what that Jug is hanging up thetlfcr with its bottom knocked out." fcf said. "My wife, per haps, can tell 0 the story better than I can; but she i bashful and I ain't, so I'll tell it." J "My fathe'as you are probably aware, owne this farm before me. He lived to a gd old age, worked hard all his life, neer squandered money, was a cautlourtrader and a good calcula tor; and, a men were accounted in his day and eneratlon, he was a temperate man. " was the youngest boy; and when ie old man was ready to go and h knew it the others agreed that elncel had stayed at home and taken careof the old folks, the farm should be line and to me it was willed. I had ben married then three years. Well, father died mother had gone iree years before and left the farm to ne, with a mortgage on it for two thousand dollars. I'd never thought of it before. - I said to Mollie, my wife: " 'Mollie, look here. Here father's had this farm in its first strength of soil, with its magnificent timber and his six sons, as tl.ey grew up, equal to so many men to help him; and he work ed hard, worked early and late, and yet look at it! A mortgage of two thou sand dollars. What can I do? "And I went to that Jug it had a bottom In It then end tock a good stiff drink of old Medford rum from it. "I noticed a curious loko on the face of my wife Just then, and I asked her what she thought of it, for I supposed she was thinking of what I'd been talk ing about. And so she was, for she said: "'Charles, I've thought of this a great deal, and I've thought of a way in which I believe I can clear this mortgage off before five years are end ed.' "Says I: "Mollie, tell me how you'll do It. "She thought for a while, and then said, with a funny twinkling in her eye says she: " 'Charlie, you must promise me this, and promise me sdemnly and sacred ly: Promise me that you will never bring home for the purpose of drink ing for a beverage, at any time, any more spirits than you can bring in that old Jug the Jug your father has used ever since I knew him, and which you have used since he was done with It." "Well. I knew father used, once In a while, especially in Haying time, and in winter when we were at work In the woods, to get an old gallon Jug filled; so I thought she meant that I should never buy more than two quarts at a time. 1 thought it ever, and after a little while told her that I would agree to It. "'Now mind, said she, you are nev er to bring home any more spirits than you can bring In that identical Jug.' And I gave her the promise. "And before I went to bed that night I took the last pull at that Jug. As I was turning out for a sort of night cap. Mollie looked up, and says she: 'Char lie, have you got a drop left?" "There was Just about a drop left. We'd have to get it filled on the mor row. Then she said, if I had no objec tion, she would drink that last drop with me. I shall never forget how she said It 'that last drop!' However. I tip ped the old Jug bottom up. and got about a great spoonful, and Mollie said that was enough. She took the tumbler and poured a few drops of hot water Into it and a bit of sugar, and then she tinkled her glass against mine. Just as she had seen us boys do when we'd been drinking to good luck, and says she: 'Here's to the old brown Jug!' "Sakes allvel I thought to myself that poor Mollie had been drinking more of the rum than was good for her, and I tell you it kind o cut me to the heart. I forgot all about how many times she'd seen me when my tongue was thicker than it ought to be. and my legs not so steady as good legs ought to be: hut I said nothing. I drank the sentiment 'the old brown Jug' and let It go. "Well. I went out after that and did my chores and then went to bed; and the last thing I said before leaving the kitchen this very room where we now alt was: " 'We'll have the old brown Jug filled tomorrow.' "And I went off to bed. And I have remembered ever since that I went to bed that night, as I had done hun dreds of times before, with a buzzing in my head that a healthy man ought not to have. I didn't think of it then nor had I ever thought of it before, but I've thought of It a good many times and have thought of it with wonder and awe. "Well, I got up the next morning and did my work at the barn, then came in and ate my breakfast.but not with such an appetite as a farmer ought to have, and I could not think then that my ap petite had begun to fall. However, I ate my breakfast and then went out and hitched up the old mare; for, to tell the plain truth. I was feeling in the need of a glass of spirits, and I hadn't a drop in the house. I was in a hurry to get to the village. I hitched up and came in for the Jug.v I went for It in the old cupboard, and took it out, and "Did you ever break through the thin ice on a snapping cold day. and find yourself in an Instant over your head In freezing water? Because, that is the way I felt at that mcment. The Jug was there, but the bottom was gone. Mollie had taken a sharp chisel and a hammer, and, with the skill that might have done credit to a - master work man, she had clipped the bottom clean Some Uses of Water. A strip of flannel or a soft napkin folded lengthwise, dipped in hot water and wrung out and then applied round the neck of a child that has the croup will surely bring relief in a few min utes. A linen towel folded several times and dipped in hot water, quickly wrung and applied over the site of toothache or neuralgia, will generally afford a prom relief. This treatment for colic has been found to work like magic Nothing so promptly cuts short a oongsstion of the lur ga, aora throat or out cf the Jug wltl out even cracking the edges of the sides. I looked at tht ivg, and then she burst out. She spoke Oh, I had never heard anything !ik it! No. nor have I heard anything like it since. She said: " "Charles, that's where the mort gage on this farm came from! It wa brought home with that Jug twe quarts at a time! And there's where your white, clean skin, and your clear, pretty eyes are going also. Oh. let it b as it is, dear heart! And remembei your promise!' "And then she threw her arms about my neck and burst into tears. She could speak no more. "And . there was no need. My eye? were opened as though by magic. In s single minute the whole ecene passed before me. I saw all the mortgages or the farms In our neighborhood; anc" I thought where the money had gene The very last mortgage father had evei made was to pay a bill held against him by the man who had filled this Jug for years! Yes, I saw it passed befor me a glittering picture of rum! rum rum! debt! debt! debt! and In the end death. And I returned my Mollle'i kiss, and said I: " "Mollie, my own, I'll keep the prom ise! I will, so help me heaven!" "And I have kept it. In less than five years, as Mollie had said, the mortgage was cleared off; my appetite came back to me; and now we've got a few thou sand dollars at interest. There hangs the old Jug Just as we hung it on that day; and from that time there hasn't been a drop of spirits brought into the house for a beverage which that bot tomless Jug wouldn't hold. "Dear old Jug! We mean to keep it and hand it down to our children for the lesson It can give them a lesson of a life happy, peaceful, prosperous and blessed !" And as he ceased speaking his wife, with her arm drawn tenderly around the neck of her youngest boy, murmur ed a fervent amen. HOUSEHOLD HINTS Flour should always be sifted Just before using, and measured after sift ing. To cleanse the mica of stove doors wash In salt and vinegar, and dry with a soft cloth. If the cellar has a damp smell and Is difficult of ventilation, a few pans of charcoal set on the shelves and in the corners will make the air sweet and pure. A spoonful of scrambled eggs or ome let left from breakfast and spread be tween slices of buttered bread or bis cuits makes a school lunch sandwich that Is usually found acceptable. A spoonful of creamed codfish Is also not to be despised as a savory "filler" for the cmniverous sandwich. An exquisite mixture for perfuming clothes that are to be packed away, and which is said to keep out moths a'.so. is made as follows: Pound to powder one ounce each of cloves, caraway seed, nutmeg, mace, cinnamon and Tonquin beans, and as much orris root as will equal the weight of the foregoing In gredients put together. Little bags clj thin muslin should be filled with this mixture and placed among the gar ments. A savory homemade chill sauce calls for twelve large, bright scarlet toma toes, pared and chopped together with two fed peppers and five small onions. Add to these two tablespoonfuls of salt, two cups of vinegar, two tablespoons and a half of brown sugar, with ginger, cloves and cinnamon to suit. Cook slowly on back of range for four or five hours, stirring frequently with an ag ate or wooden spoon to prevent Its ad herence to the kettle. Put In wide mouthed bottles, dipping the cork in melted sealing wax. or put In glass fruit Jars. I WOULDN'T BE CROSS. I wouldn't be cress, dear; it's never worth while. Disarm the vexation by wearing a smile. Let hap a disaster, a trouble, a loss. Just meet the thing boldly and never be cross. I wouldn't be cross, dear, with people at home. They love you so fondly; whatever may come. You may count on the kinsfolk around you to stand. O. loyalty true, !n a brotherly band! So, since the fine geld far excelleth the dross. I wou'.dn't te cross, dear; X wouldn't be cross. I wouldn't be crcas to the tranger ah! no. To the pilgrims we meet on the life path we owe This kindness; to give them good cheer as they pass. To clear out the flint-stones and plant the soft grass. No, dear, with a stranger. In trial or loss, I perchance might be silent; I wouldn't be cross. No bitterness sweetens; no sharpness may heal The wound which the soul Is too proud to ' reveal. No envy hath peace; by a fret and a Jar The beautiful work of our hands we may mar.

These Honeymakers May Be Intro duced Into the United States. There was one race inhabiting the Philippines which will be a welcome ad dition to American citizenship and will receive every facility and inducement to emigrate to the United States and engage in the skilled labor in which it has no superior. This is the giant East Indian honey bee, whose immense ca pacity for making honey and wax has interested the department of agricul ture in the consideration of an early effort to Introduce it into the United Shates. To science this bee is known as Apis dorsata. It is common throughout the tropical regions of the east, and in the Philippine Islands the very largest variety of tt;e species is found. It is nearly one-haTf larger- than the Amer ican native honey bee and build combs heavy with wax and honey, five or six times as large as those found In Amer ican orchards and forests. The question of acclimatizing these lnhabltanes of the Philippines In the colder latitudes of America is not dis couraging. The giant bees are found in the mountain regions all through India and been seen busily at work at alti tudes of 5.000 feet. In the Philippine islands their colonies are most numer ous in the mountains, as the unceasing quest of the natives for their honey combs has driven them from the un protected flat lands of the coast to the less thickly inhabited and more heav ily wooded mountain regions. The Fil ipinos find their daily bread a rather easy proposition, but they are very fond of honey on the staff of life. There Is also a large demand for wax for use In dyeing. The big bees build their hives on tall forest trees or on the overhanging ledges of cliffs. "When undisturbed branch swarms build near the parent colony, so that In a few years an im mense bee settlement cften grows up In the forest. The bees build a comb five or six feet long, four fet wide and from seven-eighths to one and one half inches in thickness. The largest combs of the American honey bees are not more than one-fifth of these dimen sions. In appearance the giant Is a smoky, glittering iridescent black wasp like figure, with orange bands encir cling his body. There have been re ports that this bee is most ferocious and on account of his great size ex tremely dangerous, but Professor F.
