Clainled that the Rebel Chief Has
Offered His Services to Blunco.
Pando’s ”Peace Commissioners
Probably Hanged.‘ f
Havana, Cuba, Dec. 14.—-It is offi-
cially announced that the Spanish
forces under Gen. Pando; in Puerto
Principe, have been pushing _the insur-
gent Gen. Maximo Gomez so closely
that he was obliged,’ with about two
-_.hundred men. of his escort, to seek
refuge in the woods and mountains of
Las Delicias.
It is announced semi-officially that
,Gen. Sanguilly, the insurgent leader,
has written to Marshal Blanco, offering
his services unconditionally.
Not a. single commissioner sent by
Gen. Pando to different parts of the
island to negotiate with 'the insurgents
for the acceptance of autonomy has
returned, which seems to confirm the
reports that some of them have-been
hanged by the insurgents and that
others have elected to remain with the
enemy.
It is reported, for instance, that Juan
Delgado, the insurgent leader, has
hanged the two commissionels who
were sent to him with peace proposi-
tions.

offer Manuel Rafael Angulo, a. member
of the Cuban Revolutionary Junta, a
portfolio in the new Autonomist Gabi.
net in order to induce him to return to
Cuba. ' '
Want a Protectorate.
Some of the richest Spaniards of
Cuba have held meetings here, at Cien-
fuegos and at Sagua, to conSider the
advisability of petitioning President
McKinley for the establishment of a
United States Protectorate, if, within
six months, the Government’s plans
_for the pacification of the island give
gno rESult.
The Government at Madrid has ca-
bled to Mai‘shal Blanco ordering him
to procure by all possible means sup-
plies for the troops and others in need
of them, inaSmuch as the agitation in
Cuba. on this subject is contrary to the-
interests of the present monarchy and
in favor of the Carlist agitation in
Spain.
Later advices from Madrid seem to
show that Deputy Amblard will be in-
trusted with other offers to the Cuban
Junta in New York. He is said to have
informed the Spanish Ministers that he
counted upon the adherence of Gen.
Sanguill y to the new order of things,
and if it is true that the latter has
offered his services to the Captain-
General, the influence of Amblard at
Madrid will be greatly increased. _He
is said to have already received con-
siderable sums of money for expenses,
and it is further stated the Reformists
and Autonomists here will not defi-
nitely complete their union until his
return to Havana.

.was taken in Gen. ”Bla'nco’s policy of
conciliation ,to disarm criticism in the
United States in the appearance yes-

called Cuba, and printed in English.
It is under the editorial direction of

R. Angulo, a well-known Cuban law-
yer and a man of letters.

Senor Sugusta Ill.
Washington, Dec. 14.—-La.te advices
from Madrid, of a confidential charac-

tion circles that Sagasta’s physical
weakness and ill health may cause him
to break down under the terrific
strain which the opposition are placing
upon him.
An intimation has been received that
should he break down, the crisis, which
is deemed inevitable at some future
day, would be precipitated, and the
Administration would have to act at
once or be pushed Into hostilities with
Spain by a Congress which would de;
cline any longer to stand the outrage
of Spanish rule in Cuba.
WEYLER IS INDIGNANT.
Says Spain “'ill ,Find Some \Vay to

Madrid, Dec. 14,—1n the course of an
interview Gen. Weyler said he cOuld
not understand how it was that when
the late Cabinet under Senor Canovas
intimated to the Government at W'ash-
ington that it approved the system
followed by him in Cuba. and that
Spain would never consent to inter-
vention on the part of the United
States, the Washington Government
said nothing, but now the President of
the United States has insulted Senor
Sagasta’s Cabinet and slandered the
army of Spain.
Gen. WMBSIQI said he believed that
the: Spanish Government would be
obliged to publish the note sent by
the Government of
the United .States, and in one way or
another protest against President Mc-
Kinley’s utterances in regard to Spain
and Cuba. The Government, he de-
clared, would find means to avenge the
insult contained in the~ message,‘ as
well as the threats of intervention.

Mis. Virginia Morgan Robinson, a

EXPECT A SPECIAL MESSAGE.
Bill to Be Pushed Creating the New
Department of Conunerce.
Chicago, Dec. 14.-—Ofiicers of the Chi-
cago Business League- have received
word from Washington that President
McKinley will make the proposed De-
partment of Commerce and Industries
the subject of a special message to
Congress. Immediately after the holi-
days a delegation of local citizens in-
terested in the new Cabinet depart-
ments will go to the capital to have the
bill introduced in Congress.
Many letters from Senators / and
Representatives at Washington have
been received by the secretary of the
Chicago Business League, in which the
writers all agree to support the bill
and appeal to commercial and mercan—
itile bodies all over the country to in-
struct their representatives to vote in
fav01 of the bill.
An eff01t, it is said, will be made by
delegates from this city to the conv en—
tion of the Ameiican Federation of La-

in favor of the bill.
'1‘. SORE AGAINST UNCLE SAM.
Hayti 'l'ilillllis \Ve Should Have In-
tervcned in German Trouble.
Washington, Dec. 14.—-Official con—
firmation has reached here of the resig-
nation of the Haytian Cabinet. Ad-
vices show that the feeling of resent-
ment against the United States is very
bitter in the black republic, because
President McKinley did not intervene
his good offices to prevent the humilia«
tion by Germany. The feeling is de-
clared to be stronger against the Unit-
ed States than against Germany, and
material injury to our interests is
feared.
The new Cabinet is expected to be
radically anti-American in sentiment.
Commander McCalla, of the Marble-
head, has therefore been instructed to
keep his vessel at Port au Prince for
fear of unfavorable developments.
Assassinnted 11‘. a Hotel.
Amite City, La., Dec. 14.—In the full
glare of the hotel lights, S. B. Mullen,
brother of Judge Mullen, of Beaure-
gard, Miss., was shot to death in the
hotel gallery from behind. There were
two shots fired, one of which penetrat-
ed the brain. Sheriff Edwards was no-
tified, and organized a posse. Blood-
hounds were placed on the trail.
W'hy Mullen was killed is as yet a
mystery. He is an entire stranger here
and could hardly have had any con-
nection with any of the murders in the
Ta‘ngipoca parish feud. Some people
are under the impression that the man
had enemies at his home who followed
him here and murdered him. Others
say that he was a detective and came
here for the purpose of working up a
case.

CONNECTICU-T’S SMALLP‘OX ROCK.
A Relic of the Days When, Inoculaiiun
Was Practi‘c'ed in the Nutmeg Mute. .
A party of bicyclists from Thomas-
ton, Conn.,‘ under the leadership of
Charles T. Hunter, while .‘making a run
to Hartford through Farmington re-
cently uneartheda curiosity in_ the
shapeof a huge flat rock or ledge in
and dates. None of the dates weIe
later than 1794 The rock is part of
the trap formation which crops out of
the little mountain to the southeast of
Farmington, on’ the old road'running to
New Britain. Upon returning Mr.
Hunter made inquiries and obtained
from an old 'resident of Southington
What is probably the story of the rock.
It appearsw from the South-ington
man’s story that a smallpox inocula-
tion hospital, owned jointly by the ad-
joining towns of Sout‘hington and
Farmington, stood in the Wilderness
near the sculptured rock for three
years after 1792. The rock was the)
meeting place for the hospital attend-
ants and the messengers from the two
towns. At that time and for years aft-
er, until it was forgotten, the ledge
was known as the smallpox hospital
rock.
Smallpox was held in dread by the
old residents of Connecticut, and until
Jenner’s discovery of vaccination came
into general use inoculation was prac-
ticed. Hundreds of people were in-
oculated at the Southington-Farming-
ton hospital and the names carved on
the sculptured rock are those of some
of them. There are thought to be hun-
dreds of these inscription-s, as the sur—
face of the rock has been uncovered
from 1792 to 1794. A bit of an old
Farmington letter found by Mr. Hunter
throws further light On the old pest-
house times. It says under date of
1794:
“The young girls here are all in the
pesthouse. I have been up to see them.
Nancy Hooker and Fanny Cowles have
it the hardest, but they will do well, I
believe.”
A story is told of 3. b1 Ide from New
Britain v. be was sent during her hon-
eymoon to this old pesthouse to have
=.mallpox “according to orders.” She
was Mary, the daughter of Col. Gad.
Stanley, a soldier of the Revolution,
and had just been married to Oliver
Dewey. The young couple had planned
a. wedding trip to North Carolina,
which was a long journey for those
lays. It occurred to the bride’s father
:hat she might be exposed to smallpox
while traveling, and he insisted upon
her going to the pesthouse on the
mountain to take the disease in its
mildest form. The bride wept and en-
treated not to be separated from her
husband, and the latter expostulated,
but to no avail. The old soldier Was
determined. To the pesthouse she
went and after a stay of several weeks
passed through the disease in safety.
Then she went on her wedding jour-
ney. ——New York Sun.
A Gold Leaf Temple. ,
Not in America, not even in the
Klondike, but in the far— off East, at
Rangoon, the capital of Burmah, is
situated the famous golden pagoda of
a Buddhist temple, the whole of the
exterior of which is" one mass of shim-'
nering gold. This generous coating of
the metal is the. result of years‘ and
years of ofi‘erings to Buddha, for de-
votee's- from all parts of the world come
to Rangoon and bring packets of gold
leaf, which they place on the pagoda.
During the last century the King of
Burmah gave his (literal) weight in
gold to the walls of the pagoda, an of-
fering worth £9,000 sterling.

. ORIGIN OF THEcARolFF GIANT. G
A'Fake Petrified Body which Barnum,
Paid 310,000 for.
The recent discOveI‘y 'of a. petrified
giant of ,huge proportiOns in the neigh-
borhood of New Haven, Conn., recall:
the first osified product which was
manufactured in California during the
early days by a newspaper man, bear-
ing the name of Chester Hull who not
only designed the gentleman, but after-
ward discovered the ’so- -called fossi
himself and sold it to-P. T. Barnum
who exhibited it around the country as
the Cardiff giant. -
Hull, who had a liking for clay mod
elling, conceived the idea of construct-
ing a colossal man of cement and bury-
ing it in a. damp spot on a heavily
wooded hillside, where, after three
Years of interment, it would become
mouldy and assume evidence of great .
age. When the time arrived for ex-
huming the fake Hull, accompanied by
his brother, who was also something
of a humorist, took out a picnic party
and as though by accident spread their
lunch baskets on the very spot where
the cement man was moulding him-
self into artificial age. Hull insisted
on roasting some potatoes, brought
along for the occasion, and proceeded
to dig a hole wherein to build a- fire
While digging he came upon what
proved to be the foot of his previous
plant.
He then got an old broken down
geologist and an anatomist to sweaI
that the fossil was genuine and notified
Barnum at once. When the old show-
man saw the so-called petrifica'tion he
looked at Hull laughingly and said:
“My boy, I know it’s a fake, but what’s
it worth to you?"
The builder modestly asked $10,000,
and got it, and, turning over the sworn
statement of the geologist that it was
stone, and that of the anatomist that
it was once alive, delivered the crea-
tion to its purchaser, who took it on
the road and made ten times the money
he had invested.
FIRST SILVER \NEDDING.
In- ..
Origin of the Custom Dates Back to the -.
Reign of Hugh Capet.
The fashion of silver wedding; dates
back to the reign of Hugues Capet
King of France in 987, says Vogue.
Once as Hugues was aIIangizig his
uncle’s affairs he found on one of the
estates a servant who had grown guy
in the service of his relative. He had
been such a friend of his master’s that
he was almost look-ed upon as one 01
the family.
On the farm with this old man was
also a serving woman who was as old
as he, and also unmanied, and who
had been the most devoted and hard-
walking of the women servants oi
the king’s uncle. When the King
heard these praises of the two, he or-
dered them to be brought before him
and said to the woman:
“Your service is great, greater than
this man’s, whose services were g1 eat
enough, for the woman always finds
work and obedience harder th: 11 a
man, and therefore I will give you a
reward. At your age I know of none
better than a dowry and a husband.
The dowry is here—~this farm from this
time oh belongs to you. If this man
who has worked with you five and
twenty years is willing to marry you
then the husband is ready.”
"Your Majesty,” stuttered the old
peasant confusedly, “how is it possible
that we should marry, having already-
silver hairs?”
“Then it shall be a silver wedding,"_
answered the king, “and here'I give
you a Wedding ring,” drawing a costly
ring from his finger, and placing the
«hands of the thankful old people to-
get-her. .
This soon became known all ovei
France, andraised such enthusiasm
that it became a fashion after a twen-
ty-five years' marriage to celebrate a
silver wedding.

APPLE cones FOR CHAMPAGNE.
l‘lie Faring and Cores Dried and Shipped
to France.
The practice of the economies in the
fruit-raising sections of the west has
leveloped a new article of export. Un- '
:11 recently the orchard owners and the
evaporator managers did not think of
utilizing the cores and the parings of
apples. They occasionally sold them
to the jelly-makers or fed them to the
hogs, but more generally allowed them
”:0 accumulate as refuse in great heaps,
which slowly fermented an'd decayed.
This year, in many places, the parings
and the cores are being saved. They
are spread out in the hot sun and
dried, after which they are packed in"
large sacks and held for buyers, who.
gather them up and send away in car
'Iots. The destination of the dried par-
Ings and cores in these large quanti-
ties is France. It is no secret that the

makers of the vineclad slopes of

seeing the rape dragging in the water,
pulled. it in, and pulled Mr. Cramp on

lay, quite three months afterward,
when he was on 1and,a realization of

him suddenly, and his knees fairly
