London, Jan. 14.--There has been
dearsh OF news regarding the situation
I'm South Africa and England's rcla-

the outlook In general Is better now

So far as the Transvnal Is concerned
all serious trouble that direction Is
undoubtedly ended. AS stated In these

Jamcson's expedition has started for
the Natal boundary. and the release OF
the officers OF the expedition is expected
shortly. Every effort will be made TO pro-
tect the members Of the Rand Reform

is certain that bitter fight will be
made against allowing the Boer gov

Little reliance car be placed in many

friendly TO this country, but II Is
thought that any one of them would

London. Jan. l4.-It seems pretty

were circulated a few days ago OF Eu-

THE KAISER'S PORTEGE.

The Good Fortune That Makes Berlin
Artists EnviOus of Wilma PArIsghy.
A young woman who is rapidly be-
coming known as the most talented por-
trait painter in Europe and who has
reused the jealousy of almost every
artist in Berlin by obtaining more royal
favor and patronage than she knows
what to do with has just finished a six
weeks visit to this country, where she
came to run away from work. This is
Wilma Parlaghy, who at 20 promises to
become rich and famous all through
her skill with the brush
The chief reason that Miss Par1aghy
is disliked by the Berlin artists is that
through the influence of the kaiser she
was awarded the gold medal of the Der
lin academy, her name being substitute
ed for that Of painter Of old and estab
lished merit. She had already painted
the imperial William in half a dozen
poses and had probably tickled his van
ity immensely. Other royal persOnages

followed the lead of the emperor, and
for the last two years she has been al
most overwhelmed with commissions.
She has set up a studio of extensive
proportions and luxurious fittings on
the aristocratic Inter den Linden and
has INDUCED her taste for all sorts of
expensive fancies such as blooded horses
and dogs with long pedigrees.
The young woman who has caused all
this stir in the artistic circles of the old
world is pretty and graceful Hunga-
rian Of fascinating manners. She comes
of an old and neble family. She has
Travelled much and worked hard, and
the appropriated critics speak in the
highest terms of her canvases. She has
been made an officer Of the French acad-
envy and has received a medal from the
Paris salon. She also obtained medal
at the Worlds fair.
It was in sheer desperation that Miss
Parlaghy locked up her studio and came
to America. She settled herself comfort
ably in New York, where she knew few
people, and for six weeks did not touch
a brush, but a pressing request from no
less a parsonage than the Prince of
Wales broke in on her vacation, and
now she is, in London giving sittings to
his royal highness.

M'TAGGART BOLTS.
Leading Republican Senator in South
ern Kansas Comes Out for Bryan.

Independence, Kan, Aug. Ga Free
Silver Bryan club has been organized
here with membership of over $50.
Among the number many former Re
publicans. Mr.. Jeff Bolt, of the indie
pendence Hardware company, a promi-
nent Republican, was elected president.
Chas. H. Hogan, J. S. Way J. B. F.
DevOre, Cavert and NJ. V. Slime were
elected vice presidents. Messrs. Way
and Cavert have always been active
Republicans.
Daniel McTaggart, Republican state
senator from this county, was present
and made a telling speech declaring for
Bryan and free silver and advocating
the election of men to congress and the
legislature who were willing to stand
square on the free silver platforms. He
said he had been educated to believe in
free silver by such statesmen as the
late Senators Plumb and Perkins and
the now vacillating John J. ingalls,.
He said it was more in sorrow than
anger that he now parted company with
his old political associates, but it was
not like being among political stran-
gers, as he found so many well known
Republicans in the same company. He
offered his services to help along the
work for silver.
Mr.. VIII McTagggart also made a
short speech, expressing his willingness
to aid in the good work. Several other
Republicans made short addresses. The
PopUIists, silver Republicans and Dem
Ocrats are working in harmony in this
county.

SPAIN IS ALARMED.
Dissension is Being Stirred UpAmong
Her Own Citizens by Cubans.


copyrighted. 1896, by Associated Press1
Madrid, Aug. 6.-TrOuble of a serious
nature is being fermented in Spain,
particularly in the province of ValeD-
cia, by agents of the Cuban Insurgents
The minister of the interior, Senior
s-Gayon, yesterday in the chamber
of deputies said that they were caused
by friends of the Cuban insurgents who
hoped thereby to prevent the departure
of further achievements of troops for
Cuba
In addition many letters have been
received in different parts of Spain by
the relatives of Spanish soldiers, serv-
ing with the army in Cuba, and they
tell such terrible tales of sickness, pr1-
walton, incompetency and mismanage-
rnent, to say nothing of lack of pay,
that a dangerous feeling against the
government has arisen and is gaining
strength day by day. Under these cir
cumstances the agents of the Cubans
do not have much difficulty in carry
ing out their plan of causing popular
outbreaks. They steadily fan the
flame of discomfort by pointing to the
apparently unnecessary hardships
which the Spanish troops in Cuba are
compelled to endure.
The roads in Valencia are being pa
trOlled by gendarmes. Troops are pur-
suing armed bands of revolutionists in
the mountainous districts of the same
province and further trouble is appre-
hended.
The Spanish officials, as usual, are
blaming the United States for troubles
in this country, basing the assertions
made on the fact that among the lead
ers of the recent riots was DR.. Ber-
nardo Toledo, said to be an American
citizen, whose brother is in command
of a force of Cuban insurgents. It is
claimed that money, arms and ammu-
milton were served out to the rioters
from the house which he occupied and
a search of the building is said to have
resulted in the discovery of a number
of letters from the United States, Cuba
and Argentine Republic, showing that
the outbreaks here have been planned
by the leaders of the Cuban insurgents
and that the movement is widespread
| and capable of assuming most serious
proportions.

as native Cinnamon go, urged him to
take their boys back with him to Amer
lea, educate them and make Christians
of them.
The Rev Mr.. Kin did not feel as if
he could personally undertake such
big contract, but he told his friends that
he would see what the Presbyterians
would do for them. The American mis-
sionaries Endorsed the scheme, so he
went back to China and gathered up 30
boys.
The young Chinese have a lot to learn,
and it may be five years before they re-
turn to their native land. In the first
place they are struggling with the Eng
lish language, being instructed accord
ing to the Berlitz method by Miss Rog-
ers, who knows as little Chinese as they
do English. But they are getting along
finely. Miss Rogers points to table,
for instance, and repeats the name of
the object distinctly several times. Then
the boys say it after her and the word is
firmly fixed in their minds. In the
fall they will enter the grammar school
