At Palmarito the rebel forces mum,

lasted two hours. At the end of that
time the rebels retreated, were pursued
by the Spanish troops and Maceo capt,

all the personal and private papers OF
Gen. Maceo were confscated. The battle

Schultz was a Willard man in the North

The long expected and frequently pre-
dicted highlander war in Chinatown was
to have opened up last night, but as
usual it did not.
1t was near midnight when an excited
individual aroused the police station by
announcing that the Bing Kong Tongs
and some other breed of tongs were
about to begin their gun-work on one
another. Officer Pennish and Special
Balsz hastened to the neighborhood of the
tongs, but they were unable to find any
war in progress or any warlike symp-
toms.
The Cinnamon were moving about as
usual. but each carried his hands under
his blouse, as if prepared to yank out a
big 44-caliber pistol on seconds notice.

haps the Cinnamon kept their hands un-
der their blouses for warmth.

and the Chinese population has not been
reduced since yesterday. very much to

The wines mentioned in Shake

dramat.st applies to them were very few,
though under each appellation are in
cluded several kinds, often coming from
widely separated localities. In these days
there are hundreds of varieties, and each
jealously guards the name of the country

or Of the port from which it is sent
abroad. Though wine was made in some
parts of the south OF England during the
Middle Ages. aud perhaps down to

that it was ever sought after in London.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER

OF settlement. Assistant Surveyor-Gen-
eral Curtis j. Lyons of Hawaii has ex-
amined them, and has made map, ac-
companied by a statement, which, it is
said, supports Venezuelan contention,
even on the evidence thus far presented
by the British. The records brought to
public attention by Mr.. Lyons were fur
nished Hawaii by the British Foreign
Office when Hawaii was a monarchy
largely under British control. They are
on tile in the Surveyors office at Homo
lulu.
Lyons was led to make an Investigation
by the publication last month OF the Of
fetal map of the Guinea territory. On
comparing this with the map furnished
by the Foreign Office twenty years ago he
found the boundary line entirely changed.
The first map gave the line as Venezuela
claims it should be. The last map shifts
the line far eastward and includes as Brit
ish territory about 10000 square miles
which the first map showed to be clearly
Venezuelan territory. The old map was
made by the Royal Geographical Society
of England, and thereafter was given Oh
ticial approval and sent out by the For
eign Office. 1t is therefore considered OF
scientific as we'll as OF official value. MIR.
Lyons says:
1.-The area thus taken in, as shown on
these maps themselves, is 10000 square
miles or more-larger than The area OF
either Massachusetts or Vermont. '. hat
the Venezuelans are claiming we have
not the means of knowing. but 1t Is very
natural they should claim at least that
British Guinea should adhere to the orig
inal mapD
