Pounds, ll‘fin‘cc M'llcs.
An 01.: hunter. speaking about hears,
almost beyond belief, and cites some
instance to prove it. i
"I have read." he says. “about the
powerful muscles in the'arms of Afri-
can gorillas, but none compare with
those in the arms and shoulders of
big grizzly bears. I have seen a griz'
zly bear with one forepaw shot into
uselessn-ess pull its own eleven hun-
dred pounds of flesh and bone up
precipices and perform feats or mus-
cle that trained athletes could not do.
I have seen grizzly bears carrying the
carcasses of pigs that must have
weighed seventy pounds several miles
across a mountain side to their lair,
and I have heard hunters tell of hav-:
ing seen cows knocked down as if by
a thunderbolt with one blow from the
forepaw of a bear.
“Three summers ago I spent the
season in the coast mountains in Mon-
tercy county, and one moonlight night
I saw a big grizzly bear in the act of
carrying a dead yearling heifer home
to her cub. I had a position on the
mountain side where I could see ev-
ery movement of the bear in the
sparsely timbered valley below me.
The animal carried the heifer in her
forepaws for at least three miles.

Hard to Believe.
We found that when Vinol (the new form
of cod liver oil) was first introduced, many
people would not believcfbuch- a'dolicious tasto «j
ing article co'hld have anything in Common
with this valuable but terrible tasting mixture.
Vinol has all the active curative principles to
which cod liver oil owes its reputation, but
Vinol does not contain the stomach disturb-
ing obnoxious smelling grease which was cod
liver oil‘s drawback.
Here is what Mr. John H. Greer, Ph.G.,
of Lawrence, Mass, one of the best known
chemists of that city, says concerning Vinol :—
“The public at first were incredulous in re-
gard to the fact that Vinol contained the all-
to-be-desired part of cod liver oil, and the
grease has been discarded. Chemists recog-
nized this, and the public are fast learning
that it is so. I do not think Vinol needs any-
ouc‘s praise. It will prove its own merits.”
The active curative principles found in
Vinol are like the luscious fruit of a melon,
the part that was desired, from which the
worthless husk had been discarded, as the oil
which formerly enveloped the medicinal parts
of cod liver oil has been discarded, with the
advent of Vinol. Yours very truly,
Special Vinol representative.

Preparations in Spain Made With
Marvelous sun.
DETAILS OF THE BIG PLOT,
Thirty BIillion l’esetas in the “'ar Chest.

Strong: and Arms Hidden All Over the
Lauzl. Don Carlos ‘Va-itiu‘; for a Crisis
in .i‘lludrid, '
London, Dec. 24.———Fr0m a, Carlist
agent in this city, whose identity must
be kept secret, is learned many details
of the preparations for a rising in
Spain, which are almost marvelous as
an example of patience, intricacy and
detail.
In the first place {there is the Carlist
war chest. it consists of tWenty m'ii— :;
lion pcse‘tas, half of which has already
been distributed in small amouiits
and by trusty hands throughout the
peninsula. .
Ten million nesetas are held beyond
the frontier as a reserve fund.
While rapidly perfected in the last
few-"months, the plans now maturing
Were begun ten years ago.
First, there was the listingr of sym-
pathizers and the bringing mgether of
those listed.
Next. came organization. The able-
bodied men were organized into small
companies and these, under the direc-
tion of experienced officers. met in ob—
scure DI'aC‘eS to plot and drill.
The companies were not brought to-
gether, but their officers were, and
they chose from among themselves
leaders who should be colonels of regi~
ments or generals of brigades.
The colonels had never seen their
regiments, and generals had never
mustered their brigades, but both were
present, though unnoticed, in every
province.
Occasionally meeting near Madrid is
a general stuff, which has sought. with
same success, to unify their spectral
but real army, and to smuggle into
the country arms and ammunition.
This army is now one hundred thous-
and strong.
Each village conceals a squadron or
a company. each town a. battery or a
battalion. And in more than one hid-
ing place is a commission signed Car-
los VII.
Arms are hidden in various ways all
over the land. No one seems to find
them now, but at the words “El Rey"
their owners will find them and bring
them forth.
The plan of mobilization is that of
the Prussian army. Beyond the bor—
der waits Don Carlos; first, for a crisis
in Madrid, which\ he expects during
the debate on the peace treaty in the
Cortes; second, for something which
will keen the powers occupied else-
where. as he wishes no Franco-German
interference. as in 1883. '
The Sagasta. government trembles
for the opening of the drama.
A dispatch from Madrid to the EX-
change Telegraph says that the Carlist
agitation in the Basque provinces is
daily becoming more active and is
strongly supported by the inhabitants
of the French basques.
Upwards of one hundred thousand
rifles landed at French ports have been
smuggled over the Spanish _frontie-:
with cargoes of coal.

ADMIRAL SAMPSON HOME.
He Arrives on the New York, from Ha.-
V8113.
New York, Dec. 24.——The flagship
New York of the North Atlantic squa-
dron, having on board Admiral Samp-
son, Mrs. Sampson and Miss Sampson,
arrived yesterday morning from Ha-
vana.
As the New York steamed through
the Narrows it was noticed that the
flagship had been newly painted white,
having discarded the gray, or war
color.
She is the first warship to arrive at
'this port in her new white dress since
the close of the Spanish war, and she
presented an imposing sight.
The flagship was saluted by passing
craft and steamers at anchor, and
when she dropped anchor at ten
o’clock the auxiliary cruiser Scorpion
fired the admiral's salute.
\Vhen some newspaper men boarded
the New Yorw with the health doctors,
Admiral Sampson said that he had
Come home to attend his daughter’s
wedding, which takes place at Glen
Ridge January 4.
Admiral Sampson was not inclined
.to discuss the Cuban situation or his
connection with the Cuban evacuation
commission, and stated what he would
have to say on such matters he would
do so ofiicially.
The admiral ' and his family were
taken from the New York on a govern-
ment tug. He will spend Christmas
at home with his family.
The League Island Trouble;
'Washington, D. 0., Dec. 24,—Secre-
tary Long has taken action in the
cases of the mechanics in the depart—
ment of construction and repair at the
navy yard at League island, who were
recently suspended as a. result of an
investigation of the administration of
that department.
He wrote letters to each of these
mechanics saying that the previous ac-
tion of the navy department “is so far
modified that your absence from the
yard is considered a suspension from
rank and duty during that time, and
you are now reduced from the poSition
you held’ to the next lower grade in the
same department."
The men affected by these orders
are: J. M. Davis, qubrterman Ship
fitter; E. Keller, quarterman laborer;
John Hendricks, quartet-man ship-
smith: B. P. Morris, leading-man pain‘
ter; E. Paynter. loading-mun block-
maker; J. H. Pettlt, master joiner;
James Spear, master shipwright; Josh-
ua. Wright, quarterman plumber.
Secretary Long, tin speaking of his
action, said that these men were at
fault and have suffered their punish-
ment, and it must not be made to ap-
pear that they have been restored to
their former positions, the fact being
that each one was reduced in grade.
thus suffering a. loss of pay.
News from Manila.
Manila, Dec. 24,—The United States
cruiser Boston end the gunbc-at Petr-31
have arrived here from Chinese ports.
The steamer St. Paul has arrived here
with the Christmas mail.
The steamer Union, which has re-
turned here from 110110 with native and
Spanish soldiers, has been refused a
landing here.
The native troops cncamped in the
suburbs are again causing anxiety.
The attitude of 'an insurgent detach-
ment at the Paduchan bridge on last.
Wednesday was such that the Califor-
nia, Idaho, and Washington regiment-s
were concentrated in light marching
order, at short notice, at Page. Trou-
ble, however. was voided.
The first American flag was raised
over . the. Malate school house yester-
day. It was sent by the University of
Pennsylvania. '
The honor of raising the flag was
accorded to the Rev. Father McKinnon
of California, in recognition of his
services in reopening the schools.
More Fighting at 110110.
Madrid, Dec. 24.—According to a dis-
patch received here from Iloilo, island
of Parlay, several engagements have
taken place between the Spaniards and
insurgents and many of the latter have
been killed or wounded.
It is asserted that Aguinaldo has
cabled to the government saying that
he will shortly release the Spanish pri-
soners in the hands of the insurg-
ents. '
This statement, however, has not
been confirmed.
There is much comment upon the.
conference between Marshals Martinez
de Campos, Primo de Rivera, Bl'anco
and Dominguez.
The minister of the colonies, Senor
Giron, announces that the payment of
the coupons of the Cuban mortgage
bonds has been assured.
Sultan's Favorite Murdered.
Constantinople, Dec. 24,—The Pera
quarter is greatly excited over the
murder of Chant Bey, an Albanian,
one of the sultan's aides-de-camp, by
I-Iatuz Pacha, business representative
of Razhio Bey, one of the sul-tan's
chamberlains.
The murder was committed in a. pas-
try cook’s shop. Ghani Bey was no-
torious on account of his lawlessness
in Epirus and in Constantinople.
He had extorted money from various
persons, threaten-ing them with death
and inspiring general terror.
The foreign embassies had made sev-
eral complaints of his actions to the
Porto, and demanded his punishment:
but always without success. -
Meeting of the Cabinet.
\Vashington, D. 0.. Dec. 24.:At thé
cabinet meeting yesterday it was de-
cided to issue an order regarding the
granting of public franchises in Ha-
vana.
It has not yet been determined ex-
actly upon what lines the order will
define franchise rights, but it is quite
probable that Contracts entered into
by the Spanish authorities after the.
beginning of the war will be declared
void. '
Postal Regulation in Porto Rico.
Washington, D. 0., Dec. 24.—The
postmaster general has received word
from the postal agent at Porto Rico

of Porto Rican cities of affixing simply
