MADRID, August 7.-General Blanco,
of the forces in Estramadu-
ra, will make a strict inquiry into the
causes of the rising at BadajoZ. The
papers here severely blame the officials
of Badajoz for allowing the insurgents
to surprise them. The insurgents ar
rested the Prefect, the General com-
manding the troops, and four officers in
their beds on Sunday morning. An
editor of Republican newspaper was
one of the leaders of the insurgents.
The impartial says that the ringle9d-
ers of the revolt were Colonel Gutierrez,
Major Marino, Lieutenant Colonel
Vega and Major Barriga. The former
two enlisted thirty years ago and owe
their present rank to bravery in action.
The latter two are also distinguished Of
ficers. No word has been received re-
lative to their whereabouts. Six mil,
lion pesetas in geld in the Bank OF
Spain, at Badsjoz, were left untouched
BY the insurgents. Some refugees have
telegraphed to a newspaper that the
statement that the object of the revolt
was to conceal a deficiency emanateC
from the government. They say they
acted in obedience to the program o
Gorilla and Salmeron to promote thu
welfare of the country. The Portu
gese authorities have interned the re
fugees from Badajoz in the fortified
town of Peniche, on the Western
coast.
LISBON, August THE authorities
at .Elvos have disarmed one hundred
insurgents and some civil fugitive
from Badaioz They will all be intern
ed in fortified town on the coast
1t is reported that the object of tn
rising was to cover up robbery ofpuh
lie mo ney and that a deficiency o
go, 500 has been discovered in the Bada
joz TT easury.

ed at the conclusion that the damsel
had gone to join her lover Word was
flashed to the police Of Baltimore and
Washington by Mrs. Larkin to take her
into custody if she were found in
either city, and await further orders.
A Washington detective made tour
of the Capital, discovered her in seclu.
sion in quiet part of the town and
communicated the fact TO her parents.
Mrs. I.arkin responded by requesting
the authorities to send the girl on by
the next train, and furnish the money
for the car fare. When the detective
repaired the next morning to the place
where the truant had been stopping he
was surprised to learn that young Ham.
ilt0n and his sweetheart had outwltted
him, and had gone away to arrange fol
the nupitals.
At an early hour in the morning
they had gone to the Court House and
patiently waited for the opening of the
Clerks office, at which time they Sc
cured marriage license, and then
started out in search of a minister. The
officer reached the residence of Rev. w
w. Hicks just in time to see the Rev
erend gentleman kiss the bride. The
happy couple greeted the detectives
with smiles, and laughiugly invited
him to ride with them to police head
quarters and talk the matter over there
He accep ed the invitation, and or
reaching headquarters introduced them
to the Chief, who wished the pair mucl
Joy as man and wife. Then they de-
parted for Baltimore.

The peach season can scarcely be said
to have fully commen ced yet in this
city, but next week the Crawford Early
will begin to come in, and fro m what
can be learned a large crop may be ex-
pected. The few peaches that hav
been offered are mostly of the Hale $
Early variety, and have to be picked
before they are ripe, and even then they
will rot in three days.
This variety was first introduced
about twenty years ago in New Jersey,
and as it ripened at least week earlier
than any other kind then known, 1t
soon became favorite, but experience
has shown that it is totally unfit for
TRANSFORMATION. There are many dealers
in the large cities now that will not re.
ceive the Hale's Early, on account OF
their being SO poor and perishable.
A favorite variety is the Early York,
a large and we'll colored peach, which
will also soon be here and also meets
with ready sale. There are not many
peaches around Odessa, but what Is
lacking in quantity, is made up in
quality. Other sections will make a
good yield and it is estimated that the
total crop will not tall far short OF
4. OOO, 900 baskets.
