commissioners, euch carrying ft port
folio containing records and personal
memoranda, left, their headquarters la
the Continental hotel for tho meeting
with tho Hpanlsh commissioners, at
the foreign cilice, shortly before 2
o'clock this afternon. Tho prcsldont
of the Hpanlsh commission, Honor
Montero Ulos,' whose health at one
time was so precarious s to threaten
an indefinite adjournment of tho sea
tone of tho commission, had Improved
sufficiently to permit hi attendance at
to-day'a meeting. He arrived at tho
, foreign ofllee In a closed carriage with
hie colleagues shortly after the Ameri
can readied the meeting plouo,
rJhortly after 2 o'clock tho ten com

across tlte table on which, in 178,1,
, Itonjamln Franklin and his eolloogues
signed the treaty of Independence of

receiving definite assurances of the
American determination to tahe tho

the conference and all negotiation are
modified by the attitude of the Hpanlsh

, Nevertheless, despite this attitude
of the Madrid press, and despite the
denial given on Friday last by a Hpan

CUBANS ARE OFFICESEEKERS,
Oanaral Wood Dalugad With Applica
tion Irpm Them.
MAHZAirnxo, Nov. I. The visit of
General Leonard Wood, governor of
the military department of Santiago,
has boon instrumental in bringing all
the elements among the Cubans to the
front. No fewer than 3,000 insurgents,
of whom 600 are officers, want ofltces,
and their clamor amounts almost to a
demand.
Thore are two leading factions, ono
headed by Ooneral Jesus llabl and the
other by General lllos. At present,
most of the ofllces are held by re pro
sentatlve of tho Habl faction, includ
ing the mayoralty and the custom
house Inspectorships. General Wood,
in order to pacify tho Jllo fao
tlon, has given them six poal
tlons on the rural police force
and has turned over to one of their
people the lighthouse at Cape Crux,
together with several other minor ap
polntmcnts, liut nolther party Is
satisfied, each thinking that It ought
to have all the ofllces, General ulo
does not dare express his opinion pub
Holy on General Jtubi, but ho feels
Hint this is his district, as he has had
tho nominal charge of it for three
yours, and that It ought to belong to
him, so far as appointments of Cuban
to ofllco are concerned, and all tho
more so because he represents General
Callxto Garcia,
Tim majority of tho insurgents here
liuvo no money and go about living
from hand to mouth and wondering
what will happen next. Armed man
are not allowed rations, As tho Cubans
will not disband and will not work,
nothing remains for them but to strut
around the city, with machetes and re
volvers, Some of tliem are nearly
nakodi others aotiear in lontr-lcirtfud
patent leather boots with silver spurs,
currying superbly wrought Toledo
machetes. A few wear immaculate
white suits and Panama hats. Tlieso
are, for tho most part, tho New York
contingent, each man now a veritable
bornbatc furloso.
General Wood and Colonel I'cttlt re
gard the outlook as rather discourag
ing. Still, they hope that some ineun
may soon bo found to break up the
Cuban army. The members of tho
rank and file are anxious to go to
work, but tho leaders refuse to allow
thotn to do so, and the men do not
dare to do so, as they would certainly
bo shot if captured.
General Wood is hoping that the
other town he will vWIt in his trip
around the province will not present
tho same vexatious condition as pre
vail here, where the Cuban problem is
presented In a very difficult form, tho
most difficult lie has yet encountered,

Hot Si-iima. Ark., Nov, 1. Mrs. N.
A. 1'cterson, of Montana, wa shot
and painfully wounded by Mrs. Owen
Carrlngton, of this city. Jealousy
growing out of Carrlngton' attentions
to Mrs, l'oterson was the cause.
Mrs. Carrlngton called upon Mrs.
l'oterson, Thursday, and requested her
to keep away from her husband, Last
evening Mrs, Peterson received a note
from Carrlngton requesting her to
come to hi place of business When
she entered tho o nice, Mr. Carrlngton,
who wa standing at tho head of the
stairway leading to the second Hour,
opened fire on her, shooting twice.
The second shot took effect in tho
ankle.
Tho affair occurred on 0110 of the
moot prominent thoroughfare In the
city and created a sensation, Carrlng
ton and Mrs. Peterson were arretted,
but were promptly released, ' Mrs,
Carrlngton was not urrested.

OUR FRIENDS. THE GERMANS,
flood That Connect t'a with the
fatherland.
To war against Germany would be
to war against our own flesh and
blood. No European country, with the
exception of Great Britain, hai so
large a representation in our citizen
ship a tbe fatherland. In tbe decade
ending with 1800, over 1,400,000 iraml
grants came to u from Germany, more
than a fourth of the total immigra
tion from all Europe in that period.
Several of our large cities, Including
Cincinnati and Milwaukee, have a larg
er percentage of Gorman-born citizen
than of all other foreigner put to
gether. And these people are among
our most loyal, substantial and valu
able citizens. They are not wanting
in love for the land of their birth, but
they love the land of their adoption
still more, They are true American.
A common love of learning I an
other strand in tho bond uniting u
with the German people, Nowhere in
tbe world 1 the leadership of Germany
in various field of scholarship so fully
and frankly recognized a In the Unit
ed Slate, W send many of our bright
est young men to sit at the feet of ber
great teacher and to drink deep at her
spring of learning, W glory In her
unparalleled achievement in tbe do
main of science and philosophy, To
ward the country of Goethe and Schil
ler, of Luther and Humboldt, we can
never be set la hostile array, But
atronger, perhaps, than any oth
er trand In the bond that unite u
with Germany I our common trade in
terest. The shuffle of commerce, fly
ing swift and fst across the tea for
ft hundred years, have woven u to
gether by golden thread that may not
easily be sever-1, Last year we sent
Germany bnadstuff, manufactured
product and other article to. tho val
ue of $123,784,453. Germany sent u
back in exchange chemical, cloth and
other needful thing to the value of
1111,210,614. With no other country
except Great Britain doe our volume
of trade reach uch proportion a this.
We export to Germany more than
twice a much a we do to France,
and more than twelve time a much
a we do to Spain. And the volume
of trade between America and Ger
many I more evenly balanced than
between 11s and any other country in
tbe world. - We take nearly as much
a we give, A friends.,, p based on
such consideration a these will not be
lightly broken. Leslie's Weekly,
"One four Order."
In Franklin' "Memories of a Itear-
Admlrul," a good story Is told of a
navel officer whose tact enabled him to
obey order and to do a ho pleased,
Commodore Truxton distinguished
himself during the war of the revolu
tion, and subsequently commanded tbe
naval station at Baltimore. Commo
dore Stewart commanded a brig which
wa fitted out there, and had been or
dered by Truxton to proceed to aca on
a certain day. Stewart reported on
that day that it waa Impossible for
him to sail, a be had not yet hoisted
in his mainmast. "Obey your order,"
replied Truxton. Stewart sailed forth
with, towing his mainmast astern.
Fortunately the wind wa fair, and
when he reached a point beyond the
limits of Truxton'e command, he an
chored, hoisted In bis mainmast, com
pleted his preparations for sea, and
then tailed.

Cooks In large hotels and boarding
houses may think they act up meals
on a big scale, says the Portland Tran-
scrlot. but when it comes to whole
sale cookery the little village of Lies,
on the London ft Southwestern Rail
way, England, surpasses them all. At
barbecue held there not long ago an
ox was boiled not roasted whole:
and this Is how It wus done: A large
hole was dug in the (round and lined
Ith brick. Inside this a tank lane
enough to hold tbe ox was built. The
rarca was then lowered Into the tank,
avlna first been placed In a case
formed by heavy cross-bars, to which
chains were attached. Pulley from a
scaffolding above were used to ralae
nd lower the ox. Many vegetables.
such as rairots, onion, cabbages and
potatoes, were boiled with the meat.
The boiling required seteu hour.

Noll Water an4 Crop.
To make one ton of dry matter !n
our grain crops, the uie of from 300
to 600 ton of water is necessary. In
Wisconsin, King found that a two-ton
crop of oat bay required over one
thousand ton of water per acre, equal
to about nine inchea of rainfall. Tbe
average rate for field crop at large
Is given by European observers at 325
time the weight of dry matter' pro
duced, being at the rate of about three
Inches of rainfall actually evaporated
through the plant.
To evaporate this water it Is neces
sary that the ground containing the
roots should not be too full of water,
One would suppose that with water
flooding tbe root of the plant the lat
ter would be able to take both food
and water with added ease, but such-
Is not the case, except with aquatlo
and semi-aquatic plant. With most
plant the action of the roots stop at
the point wbero they reach "flood"
water, Thus if at the depth of eighteen
Inches "flood" water be truck, the
root below the eighteen inches will
cease to operate, and if the water con
dition continue they will rot off. A
bulletin of the California experiment
station say on tbl point: "Thl 1
amply apparent in some of the irrigat
ed orange grove of outbern Califor
nia, where the fine root of the tree
All the surface soli as do tbe roots of
maize In a cornfield of the Mississippi
states; to that tbe plow can bardly
be run without turning them up and
under, in these ame orchard it will
be observed, in digging down, that at
ft depth of a few feet the soil is too
water-soaked to permit of the proper
exorcise of the root function, and that
tbe root existing there are either in
active or diseased. That in such cases
abundant Irrigation and abundant fer
tilization alono can maintain an or
chard In bearing condition, I ft mat
ter of course; and there can be' no ques
tion that a great deal of the constant
cry for the fertilization of orchards In
tbe irrigated lections Is due quite a
much to the shallowness of rooting
Induced by over-Irrigation, as to any
really necessary exhaustion of the
land. When the roots are Induced to
come to and remain at the surface,
within a surface layer of eighteen to
twenty Inches, It naturally becomes
necessary to feed these roots abundant
ly, both with moisture and with plant
food. Thl ho a naturally led to an
over-estimate of the requirement of
tbe trees In both respects. Had deep
rooting been encouraged at first, in
stead of over-stimulating the growth
by surface fertilization and frequent Ir
rigation, some delay in bearing would
have been amply compensated for by
less of current outlay for fertilizers,
and less liability to Injury from fre
quently unavoidable delay, or from In
adequacy, of irrigation."
The above 1 an Illustration of the
necessity of having land well drained.
It also shows why well-drained land
will stand drouth better than un-
dralned land. On the latter kind of
land the roots of plants remain near
the surface, and when drouth comes
they easily dry up. On well dralnfid
land tho roots strike deep and when
drouth comes they are protected by
several feet of earth In which is a fair
supply of capillary water.
Hull MoUtur and Hull Stirring;.
The Kansas Experiment Station is
tudylng the effect of various modes
if aoil treatment udou soil moisture.
That the well-known effect of a mulch
can be approached by proper tillage or
soil Is a fact not as widely acted upon
a good farming dictate. One of the
station fields which contained In round
numbers 20 per cent of water In the
first foot of soli, on July 7, 1898, had
one portion plowed, another disk-harrowed
and ft portion left untreated.
The ensuing dry weather In the course
of four week, notwithstanding aeveral
light rains, reduced the moisture of the
untreated part to 15 per cent and that
of the disked land to II per cent, the
plowed ground retaining 21 per rent.
The last two were In excellent condi
tion for seeding, while the first would
plow up lumpy and unsatisfactory.
The weight vf an a. re of the dry soli
to the depth of one toot may be taken
as 1,010 tons, Kach per rent of water
In soli tu thai depth represent about
sixteen Ions of water per acre, or one

The assembly was fairly representa
tive, and although the proceedings
gave undue prominence to unimpor

dence of intelligent reflection on the
part of the delegates, and of a deter
mination not to tolerate partisan poli
tics at this crisis in the island's af
fairs. Carefully prepared report were ub

INDIANS GOOD, BUT LAZY,
An Agent Tell How Worthies an Idaho
Trlba I.
Washington, Nov. 1. The majority
if the annual reports of the Indian,
agent to the commissioner of Indian
affairs are of an encouraging nature.
Some of the reports, however, are not
to gratifying and make some surpris
ing statements. Unusual In an annual
report is the following arraign
ment in the report of It. M. Yearin, in
charge of ' the Lemhi agency in
Idaho. He says in part: "These
Indians as a tribe are honest and
peaceable and kindly disposed, but are
about as degraded and ungrateful a
tet a one finds. They have been hu
mored and, like spoiled children,' want
things their way, and their condition,
mode of living and barbaric practice
thould indicate that undue concessions
have been made on the part of agent.
While some will avail themselves of
the opportunity of earning their living
by civilized pursuits, others lead ft
lazy, vagabond life.
"They are addicted to gambling,
horse racing and dancing, and the in
fluence of the so-called 'medicine-man'
operate to the disadvantage of tbe
tribe.
"Morally theso Indians are prac
tically the same as they were twenty
years ago; financially they are but
little better off. Aside from ft few
small farms, wagons and farming im
plements, held by soma of the more
energetic and industrious, they have i.
comparatively nothing except a great Jfl
