serum PROPOSED arrest/rs
The Insurgent General W'ill Discuss Them
Only “'itb. an Accredited Agent of
the Spanish Government—lan--
man as Colonial Minister.
HAVAXA, Feb. S.—Gen’éral chler’s at-
tempt to arrange for a secret conference
with General Gomez in Santa Clara over
the question of the proposed Cuban reforms
has proved a complete fizzle.
It was learned yesterday that Marcos
Garcia resigned the commission delegated
to him at the meeting in the palace last
week because he learned that General Go-
mez had threatened to hang him as a trait-
or if he caught him.
Garcia was in Sancti Spiritus last Sun-
day, but wont no farther. It is supposed
that he communicated with General Gomez
by letter or special messenger and consid-
ered the better part of valor.
General Gomez sent word, itis said, that
he would not confer with General chler
upon any subject whatever and refused to
meet him under any circumstances.
While the rebel leader doubted the sin-
cerity of the Spanish c'ra'vi-rnnxent and de-
clared that thc' proposL-d r. i'v .1'ms would not
be promulgated in good faith he expressed
a willingness to meet any accredited agent
of the government except General W eylcr
for the purpose of giving the insurgent
views on the question.
The Reforms.
The news of General Gomcz’s refusal to
treat with General chlcr caused intense
excitement today in official circles.
The reforms are acceptable on their face
to the rcformists and autonomists, but the
leaders know it is impossible to carry them
out at the present time.
The programme is flawless as presented
by the Conservative party in Madrid and
modified by Senor Canovas, because it
would be useless for any political parties
to present any plan of reform at this time
which could be attacked successfully.
Peace in 15 days and a revolution with-
out bloodshed in ofiicial circles in Havana
is the party cry of the supporters of the
government.
They promise the complete overthrow of
the carpet buggers from Spain, who have
grown fat on Cuban offices. Sinecures
will be abolished, and “Turn the rascals
out” will be the slogan of reform, they
say.
But right here comes another piece of
news which chi is the enthusiasm of the
autonomists and causes therefermists to
accept the proposed reforms with great rc-
servo.
Guzman as Colonial Blinistev.
_ It has been secretly communicated to
leading Cubans in Havana by their friends
in Madrid that it is the purpose of Senor
Canova-s dcl Castillo to appoint Santos
Guzman to the post of colonial minister.
Senor Guzman was the consulting attor-
ney for the Spanish bank in Havana and
is a rabid Conservative leader. He became
so distasteful to the Cubans that he was
practically obliged to leave the country,
and he now resides in Spain and is the
personal friend and adviser of the Spanish
prime minister.
This proposed appointment is taken as a
criterion of Canovas’ real motives, and the
autonomi'sts say there can be no reforms
in Cuba until the present government is
overthrown and a new party comes into
power. They claim that the question of
reforms has been forced upon the present
ministry and that the men who are to car-
ry them out are the very ones who for
years fought against autonomy.
They point out that the reforms are not
practicable new, because no elections can
be held in a country controlled by rebels,
where it is unsafe to leave the large cities
for fear of falling into the, hands of the in-
surgents and where no census has been
taken since the devastating war began.
The Spanish Programme.
Only the less patriotic will accept the re-
forms. The insurgents feel that they are
stronger today than ever.
It was this difficulty of enforcing the re-
forms that caused Senor Canovas more
anxiety than any other question. He knew
the spirit of the Cubans, and when Gener-
al Gomez refused to discuss the measure
with General chlcr it was at once appar-
ent to the home government that it would
be useless to attempt to carry them out
through General Weyler.
Then came the report that Marcelo de
Azcarraga, minister of war, was to be sent
out- te Cuba as civil governor, that he
might supervise the elections. The evident-
purposc of the government is, however, to
give the impression in the United States
that it is acting in all sincerity, and the
civil governor will undoubtedly put the re-
forms in force, leaving the conduct of the
war to General \chler.
Monte Carlo Suicides.
LOXDOX, Feb. 8,—The tragic end of the
New York merchant, Mr. ,Lund, near
Monte Carlo, has called attention to sim-
ilar incidents occurring there, but which
are carefully kept concealed. Inquiry
shows that during the present Riviera sea-
son 65 cases of suicide connected with
Monte Carlo doings have occurr'ed.
General Shelby Dying.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 8.—General Joe
Shelby, Fighting Joe, noted Confederate
general and United States marshal for the
western district of Missouri. is said to be
dying on his farm near Adrian, Mo. He
has been suffering for some days with
pneumonia, which has developed into ty
pho—pneumonia fever.
Superintendent Leonard Dead.
RICHMOND, Feb. 8.—M. 13. Leonard, su.
perintendent of the Chesapeake and Ohio

from a cancerous tumor. He was about
to be removed to New York for treatment.
County Offices to the Lowest Bidder.
TOPEKA, Feb. 8,—A bill has been intro-
duced in the senate by Senator Hanna
(Pop) for letting out all county offices to
the lowest bidder—that is, to those who
will do the work for the lowest salaries.

All Sorts of “Wheels and All Manner of
Improvements Exhibited.
NEW YORK, Feb. 8 elivcry type and

3:0 the prhsent product of modern cycle
construction, are shown at the exhibition
at the Grand Central Fulacc. Unicycles.
bicycles, tricyclcs, ‘riplcts, quadruplcts,
quiutcts and sextcts are there. Diamond
frame, triangular frame, circular frame,
Idrop frame and freak frame; wheels that
are made of wood, wheels made of steel, of
aluminium, of bamboo and of glass; tires
made of rubber, of leather, of steel, single
Jube, double tube and ball tires; saddles
anatomical, pneumatic saddles, cushion
saddles, saddles for the racing man. for the
invalid and adjustible saddles of all (19-.
scriptions. ..
There is only one chainless wheel in the
show, and the threatened revolution that
the wheel without a chainwns to have
made. seems as yet very far away. The
chainless wheel shown, however, is a
beauty and was the center of an admiring
and curious group. "
The bicycle of 1897 shows but little dif-
ference in its construction and appearance
from that of 1896. Of course there are
freaks, or at least that is what the rival
manufacturers call them, but the l897
wheel as made by all manufacturers is
practically an 1896 wheel.
The headlights burning kerosene are
smaller, stronger, more simple in con—
struction and cheaper in price.‘ Several
electric lamps are shown, some of which,
it is claimed, will burn from ll to 16
hours without replenishment of the bat-
tery being necessary. They are made with
wet batteries and dry batteries. One has
an attachment by which the volume of
light can be controlled, the exhaustion of
the battery being thus economizcd.
If a cyclist does not wish to use a bell on
his wheel, he may make his choice from
dozens‘ of attachments, all of which give
forth different sounds wncn in action,
ranging in power from a locust rattle to a.
whistle run by rollers, which are thrown
into motion by cmning in contact with the
revolving tire. The latter has almost the
volume of a locomotive whistle. ‘
LIBELBD Eta—PIRACY.
Tn-‘riends
the Filibuster Steamer Three
Runs Into More Trouble.
JACKsoxvtLLE, Fla, Feb. 8.———le0
steamer Three Friends was solved and
libcled upon its return yesterday from a
towing trip down the coast. The libcl
charges piracy, in that a hotchkiss gun was
mounted upon the bow of the steamer and
was fired atfia Spanish gunboat at the
mouth of the San Juan river while the
steamer was cndcavoring to land an expo-
dition. The ”name of the gunboat is not
given. T he p'crson's named in‘ the libel
are John O’Brien, W. T. Lewis, John
Dunn, August Aranu, Michael Walsh and
Ralph D. Paine.
Judge Locke fixel the bond at $5,000,
which was immcdia ‘ly furnished, and the
boat was released upon the special provi—
sion that a. deputy marshal should be
placed on board and have authority to. take
charge of the'bout in case that any at-
tempt should be made at anytime to vio-
late the law.
WASHINGTON, Fob. 7.—-The Spanish
minister tonight received a telegram from
the vice consul of Spain at JacksOnvillc,
Fla, announcing that the lines Friends
had returned to that port and that she had
been libeled for piracy.
Hanna In the Cabinet.
CLEVELAXD, Feb. 8.—Mr. Hanna. has
again declined to discuss ‘his visit to Can-
ton yesterday, stating that there was noth-
ing he could say for publication. Now
that it seems pretty certain that Mr. Hon-
na will not be appointed to fill the place to
be made vacafit by Senator Sherman in
the United States there is, of course, much
speculation as to whether or not he will
enter the cabinet as postmaster general.
It is stated by those who should know that
this question was discussed and finally
settled at Friday's conference, and there
seems to be little doubt that the chairman
will be a member of Major McKinley‘s
official household. '

Afloat on an Ice Flee.
CHICAGO, Feb. 8,—chterdny afternoon
a woman living at 1 Thirty-first street,
which is close to the shore of Lake Michi-
gan, reported to the police that three boys
had been carried out into the lake on an
ice flee. A tug was sent out, but no trace
of the boys could be found. The tug men
say the woman saw three legs, and the
woman insists that they were boys, and
that she saw them waving their arms.
An Irish Catholic University.
LONDON, Feb. S.—Tl‘.e negotiations-be-
tween the government and the Roman
Catholic bishops of Ireland for the creation
of a Catholic universil y are on the verge
of settlement. The foundation and en-
dowment of a university will involve a
grant from the imperial treasury of about
£1,000,000. The bargain is not finally of-
fected, but there is reason to believe that a
Catholic university bill will be introduced
next session.
Against the Trusts.
LITTLE ROCK, Feb. 8.-—The house by a
unanimous vote passed Parker’s trust bill.
It prohibits the formation of any trust or
combine in the state and prescribes a fine
of not less than $500 nor more than $2,000
and a. sentence of one to ten years for vio-
lation of the provisions of the not. A sim-
ilar bill has passed in_ the senate and is
now pending in the house.

QUACK GRASS.
How One Farmer Freed His Land from
the Pestiferqus \‘i’eed.
I had two acres of good land badly
lnlcsted with quack, and thought by
ouch cultivation and hoeing, the grass
would be subdued; but, after a faith-
ful use of cultivator and hoe, I aban-
doned the attempt in despair. So I let
the grass and beans grow up together,
trade very good fodder for the sheep.
But down in my heart I resolved to
kill that Quack. On May 10 I sowed
one bushel of buckwheat to the sore.
Neighbors said that frost would kill
it, but it came up and grew luxuriantly
and, when in blossom with some
seeds matured, the crop was ploughed
under. The buckwheat was nearly
shoulder high, the grass half as tall,
so that it needed a heavy chain at—
tached to the plough to cover it under
the furrow. I felt there was matured
seed enough for another crop, so gave
the land a thorough harrowing, and
was gratified with another growth of
buckwheat with loss grass than in the
t-x': 1‘ crop. This I ploughed under as
before. In September we drilled in
wheel and see led to timothy and
clover. The following crops snowed the
gmul effects of thc green manuring. I
never had a better piece of wheat, and
what was best of all, the quack was
gonc—-—27orcvcrl That was several years
of: . rnd we have not seen any here
since. :nnong heed or any other crop.—

Box for Feeding Clover to Fowls.
The value of cut clover as a winter
food for fowls is becoming quite gen-
erally appreciated. The sketch shows
a convmicnt method of feeding the
clever, after it has been soaked or
steamed over night to render it soft.
The box has a sloping, slatted cover
and is hooked to the wall, making its
removal on easy matter. In this way
the hens can reach the clever .at any
time, but cannot get onto it to soil it,
nor can they‘ readily pull it out upon
the floor and waste it. Put the cut
clover into a pail of boiling water and
let it remain closely covered over night.
In the morning drain the water off and
use it for making the mash for the
fowls’ breakfast. The clover is then
ready to be put into the box upon the
wall.—~American Agriculturist.
How Sailing Saves Land.
I have tried soiling in combination
with posturing, and find it economical
of land, but the time and expense of
cultivating the soiling crops must be
taken into consideration. There is a
great saving of manure, and this, (if
course, adds to the productii'cncss of
'the land. Have kept four cows on
New-England rocky pasture, with the
aid of half an acre of alfalfa out three
and sometimes four" times in the sci-L—
son; half-acre of cats and one acre
partof October, and during Nevcmbcr
an acre of turnips. Considering the
eXtra number of cows that can be
kept and the increased pile of manure,
notwithstanding the extra work, it is,
more economical than posturing. The
best succession is first a piece of alfal-
fa, that can be out here early in May;
then outs, to be cut in July, sown at
intervals also, so that they can he cut
green in August and the autumn
months.
Oak or Apple Tree Pruner.
I. lately received from Mr. B. Stuvc
of Springfield, 111., a piece of branch or
trunk of a small apple tree, half an
inch in diameter, the middle of which
has been neatly hollowed out by a
cylindrical burrow three-sights of an
inch in diameter, running lengthwise,
with occasional branches to the sur-
face.
the mark of a jackknlfe, and at‘ the
other it had been smoothly and square-
ly cut off by an insect known as the
oak pruner or apple-tree pruner (Elva-
phidion villosum).
The beetle pushes an egg intolthe
sill of a leaf, and the young grub
when it hatches, burrows thence into
the center of the twig or branch. It
"-ntimtos it downward course in the
crunch or trunk of the young tree un-
til Gen-1 half grown, when, working
from 11w ':.;side, it gnmvs the branch
so nearly off that. it is presently broken
from the tree by the wind, 01'- by ac-
