THE ROMANTS GRATITUDE
Their gratitude to the Archduke when he took
them uncer his protection and exacted better
treatment for them knew no bounds, and was
shown, among other instances, in notable way
during the Austro-Prussian war, when Joseph
was at the head of a division Of Magyar troops

The Archduke spent large sum Of money
some years ago in endeavoring to turn the Zin-
gari from their nomadic life and to induce them
10 settle down. in order to devote their time and
energies to the practice Of the wonderful art Of
working metal which they possess to so marked

Not within the memory of all the veterans OF
New-York has there been a summer known In
which mems clothes have played such an important
part Until within the last few years 1t was
thought unnecessary that men should have any
especial garments for the warm days. the only con-
sideration being that the summer suits. hats and
trappngs OF sundry sorts that so 10 make up

The unprecedented heat, however. has turned mems
fancies TO the OF novelties ir cool attire
with which the stores are filled. 1t is fortunate
thing that fashion decreed late this spring that
men might dress during the dog days in airy
costumes of white or other light colors. Despite

WHEREABOUTS OF MACEo.
Conflicting Reports Are Current In
the Cuban Capital.

Conflicting Reports Are Current I'm
the Cuban Capital.
HAVANA, Nov. 1.-The report that
Antonio Maceo crossed the military
line after attacking Artemisa and be-
ing repulsed with great loss, accord
ing to the official account, is again
denied. and it is stated that the in
surgents upon that occasion acted
without unison, disobeying orders;
made no attack upon the forts and
were unable to capture the Spanish
entertainments. Still, according to the
Official version of the affair, Maceo,
the day after bombarding Artemisa, in
conversation with the manager of a
firm near Mangas, Pinar del Rio, de-
plored the loss his forces had sus-
tanned and admitted it was no easy
matter to cross the military line. The
Spanish forces are slowly occupying
the positions which Maceo may have
intended to use. and he Is said to be
resting in order to care for his
wounded.
There are two versions Of the where
ahOutS of Macee. One IF them has it
that Maceo and Rubia are in the
mountains on the limits of Cabanas,
and Cayajabos, which constitute q part
OF the Sierra del Rosa Rim, and an
other report has it he is in the Ran
gel mountains of the Sierra. south of
San CristobaL 1t is difficult to &C
curafely locate him.
The Spanish troops are continuing
their advance westward towards the
insurgent strongholdS. without re-
ceiving any assistance from the troops
stationed along the military line, which
Is being still further strengthened.

Sir John Lawrence, finance minister to
India, from 1868 to- 1874, and who was
then appointed to superintend the re-
lief operations in the famine stricken
districts Of Bengal, after which he
served as governor Of Bombay, has
been interviewed on the threatened
famine. Sir Richard alluded to the i'm
port of California wheat as a unique
factor in the situation. He said:

the Central provinces. The general
prospects in Bengal are gloomy. If
there is no rain in November, the dis
treSs may be serious in parts of Pat

are perhaps exaggerated. Relief work
has been opened in three districts of
upper Burma and relief is likely to be
wanted everywhere in Berar. Distress
is also expected in Hyderbad, Bhurt-
pur, j aisalmero, BilIaniral, Tonl, Oval

Bundelkand.
The prices Of wheat in the Punjab are
from to 10 seers per rupee. In the
Northwest and Central provinces from

from 10 to II seers per rupee. The eff
feet Of the railway facilities will be to
