The difficulty of impaneling jury

be seen from an incident related in

cs-s-1yed air mankind except q pair,
i, ON which the earth was peopled.
Each tribe gives the story local col
oring. but the plot Of the story is much
the same. The Bella Coda tradition
Is follows: The Creator of the uni
verse. Mes-mes-sa-la-nilz, had great diff
fculty in the arrangement of the land
and water. The earth persisted IN
sinking out of sight At last he hit
upon a plan which worked very well.
Taking long line of twisted walrus
hide, he tied it around the dry land
and fastened the other end to the cor
ner Of the moon. Everything worked
well Tor long time; but at last the
spirit became very much offended at
the action of mankind, and in fit of
anger one day seized his great stone
knife, and with q mighty hack severed
the rope of twisted skin. Immedi-
ately the land began to sink into the
sea. The angry waves rushed in tor
rents up the valleys, and IN a short
time nothing was visible except the
peak of very high mountain. All
mankind persisted in the whelming wa
tiers, with the exception of two, man
and his wife, who were out fishing in q
great canoe. These two succeeded in
reaching the top Of the mountain, and
proceeded to make themselves at home
Here they remained for some tine, u1i-
til the anger of Mes-mes-sa-la-nils had
cooled, which resulted in his fishing up
the severed thong AID again fastening
1t to the moon. From this pair thus
saved the earth was again populated"

Seneca, Of the Ward line, which arriv-
ed here from Cuba today brought Gu
ban passengers. One gentleman from
Havana who would not permit the use
OF his name asserted that the insur-
rection is more formidable than is gen
orally believed. The rebels, he says.
desire to estblish a government under
the protection of strong power, pre-
ferabiy the United States They are
not anxious for absolute independence
because negroes form a majority of the
inhabitants of the island and would
dominate the government Therefore
the rebels are delaying the capture OF
the important seaport towns which,
the gentleman from Havana SAYS, they
could easily accomplish. because their
plans for the future are not yet matur-
ed To secure possession OF cities
would mean recognition as belligerants
to the rebels, and as they are not ready
for such recognition they will continue
their present methods of making war
for time. The Havana man asserts
that there are 5000 sympathizers with
the revolution in Havana, that 80. 900
revolutionists are in the field and that
the Spanish have lost Is 900 men, more
that two-thirds of the number dying

London, Aug. 12.-The Times this
morning publishes dispatch from Ha-
vana dated Aug. Z, which says that
General Moreno has assumed the chief
command of the troops in the province
of Santiago de Cuba. Insurgents are
increasing in the province of Matanzas
The force of $3.50 officers and men of
local colunteers from Havana which
has been drawn from active service
causes the impression that the situa-
ton is more grave. She suppression OF
news coming encourages the widest
rumors unfavorable TO Spain.

has resigned the captain generalship
of Cuba. 1t is generally believed that

MGLAGASY COOKERY.
Great Care Taken In Preparing tho Sim
pie Food.


Cooking being an art, every race has
q style of its own. The Malagasy, like
the gentle Hindu, knows how to pre-
pare his mess Of rice, says the London.
Telegraph. It is not boiled to a mash
as in England, or as our potatoes are
sometimes pulped. but, covered with O.
proper suficiency of water, is carefully
treated until the grains are swollen fit
to burst and yet remain full, intact,
soft and rather mealy. The manioc
root is an easier dish to prepare. 1t is
sometimes served boiled, as yams and.
sweet potatoes, and again as sort of
cold porridge. Native coffee they I'M
derstand how to make, and the aroma
Is excellent; but tea, alas! you have to
look to the brewing Of that from start
to finish if you desire drinkable cup
Poultry and game are eaten fresh, and.
the cooks have q clever and withal
cleanly trick of dipping the dead ami,
mails in boiling water, which enables
them to pluck them easily and quickly.
The preparation for trusting comes
later. There is no lack of variety at a
Malagasy table, but, all the same, YOU
miss the wheaton flour bread, sugar
and condiments when cloyed with rice,
fowls, manioc and eggs. The staple
fuel is bunch grass, which when dried
burns fercely, and settles into glow.
Ing enber that gives OF deal of heat.
All the cooking is done on earthen
hearths, and the roasting. boiling and
baking in big iron pots. The grass be-
Ing slightly aromatic, the odor is as
agreeable as that of hardwood FIRE.
