in Havana.
HAVANA, Nov. 30.-The news of the
settlement of the Virginius question be-
tween Spain and the United States, and
the terms upon which it is based, is re-
ceiyed here with much excitement. Per-
feet order prevails among the people and
volunteers. The chief authorities OF the
island assembled in conference and sent
a manifesto to the Spanish Government,
asking it to wait till it shall have re-
ceived protocol about the Virginius
case, which shows the right of the cap
ture and the justice OF the subsequent
proceedings. The mass of the people
oppose the surrender of the Virginius or
any yielding to the pretentions which
may dishonor the Spanish flag. The
tone of the press accords with the popu-
lar feeling. Extraordinary means and
resources are being created to resist any
aggressive act, although thinking people
do not expect it, knowing the prudence
of the American Government.

HE Missouri Democrat recently had
glowing encomium on Governor Booth,
as the foremost man among the anti-mo-
nopolists in the nation to-day, but says
that he has iettered his course and les
sened his chances of honor and prefer
ment from the country at large, by yield
ing to the local prejudice on the Chinese
question. 1t warns him not to be led by
small local politicians, for the nation will
not abate one jot of its declaration that
all men, of whatever race and color, are
equal in the sight Of the law, and it will
never contravene the sacred obligations
of its treaty with China.

SURVEYING MINING CLA1Ms.-Informa.
ton has reached the General Land Office
that deputies, on surveying mining
claims, are in the habit Of following the
directions of parties in interest instead
of ndhering to the lines established in
the original location of such claims, and
thus i'll effect making private instead Of
official surveys. Commissioner Drum
mond, therefore, has issued circular,
addressed to Surveyor Generals through
out the country ,emphatically discounten-
ancing this practice. After giving min
ute directions as to the proper method
of ascertaining the boundaries of original
locations, the Commissioner states that
failure to make record of location in
accordance with the law and regulations
in force at the date OF the location, will
defeat the claim, and if it is not made
with such definiteness as to operate as
notice to all persons seeking to acquire
rights to mining lands, it will be void
for uncertainty.

TEXAS ELEcT1oS.-In Texas to-day a
full State ticket is to be elected, and
Legislature for two years, which will
have the election OF United States Sen
ator, vice Flanagan Republican,, whose
term expires in 1875. The present State
officers, having been elected in 1869, are
all Republicans. Governor Davis, who
has held Office for four years, is candi-
date for reelection, and he is opposed by
Colonel Coke, on the Democratic ticket.
The election in 1869 is the only occasion
when the Republican party in Texas has
carried the State. In 1871 the Legisla-
ture elected was largely Democratic, and
last year Texas gave the Greeley electors
a majority of 1908. The canvass this
year has been very close and exciting,
Indian troubles entered largely into the
politics of Texas. The release of San
tanta and Big Tree by Governor Davis,
at the solicitation OF the Administration,
is said to have materially weakened the
Republican cause, especially since the re-
ports that these worthless have agair
taken the war-path, The present Demo
cratic Legislature passed very explici
resolutions against their release.

A Cholera Incident of 1888.

The following is an incident which
occurred during the prevalence of the
cholera in 1888, as narrated to Us a
few days ago by a friend:
Mrs. Williams. then as now resi-
dent Of Fleming County, was taken
violently i'll with cholera. The dis
ease seem to have lun its usual short
and terrible course, and she was pro-
nounced dead. Hurried preparations
for the funeral were made, and the
supposed corpse, dressed in the hab.
iliments Of the grave, WAS placed in
the coffin, and the lid was being fast
ened down when a feeble though de-
stinct rap from within startled and az
rested the attention of those present ;
and, the coffin-lid being removed, the
fact was family disclosed that Mrs w.
was still living. Proper restoratives
were at once procured and applied,
and Mrs. W. recovered and still lives,
hale and hearty for one of her age.
Our informant has often heard the
old lady speak Of the occurance, and
Of the feeling she experimentation,
from the time she first discovered that
the attendants regarded her as dead,
she stove to give some sign of life to
avert u live burial, and being wholly
unable, when the fixing of the nails in
her coffin nersed her to more de

Coming Styles.

Of Autumn modes it is hardly time
to speak definitely, only one thing be-
ing assured. The promise Of plain
ness, made in the early Summer, will
be strictly kept. Superintendent
tlounces and furbelows will take an
unlimited leave of Winter wardrohes,
and artistic simplicity reign in their
stead. How our weary and over dress
ell women have sighed for this change,
they only are aware; and that they
will hail the new order with delight is
undoubted. 1t is limited that the pro-
spective styles will require not more
than half the quantity Of the past I;
but this is dream that seems i'm
possible Of realization.
1t is not improbable that the newly
modelled garments may have a ''skim-
py" appearance, but familiarity will
soon arrange that, and once accus-
toned to it, weary eyes will be thank
full they are no longer compelled to
wander over vast fields Of Fittings and
hpdgerows of head nes.
Plainness of fabric, no less than of
fashion, is to be the rule. New goods,
different from any yet produced, will
soon be shown, and new colors, or
rather new shades, are imminent.
