ceipts of California grapes are now

To Our Subscribers.

During the present month state
ments have been sent to such OF onr
subscribers as are in arrears to the
Semi Weekly GRAPHIC. These state
ments of accounts are in pursuance
of the customary business policy,
aid we hope our subscribers will
receive them with good viii and
make as early response as possible.
If any mistakes have been made in
any of these statements OF account,
the same will lie promptly and
cheerfully corrected at our business
office.
During the last few years the
GRAPHIC has been lenient with its
aelinquent subscribers, and at the
same. time has changed from a
Weekly to a Semi Weeklynewspaper,
thereby giving it's readers two
papers week, with more reading
matter, for the former price of one.
Therefore we must ask those who
are indebted to us for subscription
to settle the same at once without
further delay. The GRAPHIC needs
money and has earned that which is
due it, and there is no reason why
its subscription accounts should not
be paid the same as other accounts
Those who arc in arrears to the
GRApnle will therefore save them
selves time and trouble by setting
their indebtedness at once.

TIE SPANISH SIDE OF OF THE AFFAIR

It Is stated That omcial business a.
Havana peinanaed lis Attention, and
nesides, It Was Absurd For Him to
Devote HIS Time to Chasing Little
Bands of Insurgents.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The dispatch
from Jacksonville. Fla, reoiting that q
cipher telegram had been received from
Havana, in which it was stated that
General Weyler was driven to return to
Havana through fear, is discredited
here. The Spanish view Of the return
of General Weyler IS entirely different,
II is pointed cut that General Weyler is
not only commander of the troops, but
governor general of the island, and in
Havana there is a large amount of Of
fetal business needing his attention. It
is stated in the campaign just made
that Weyler had been to the strong
holds of the Insurgents, passed through
many towns and destroyed their sup.
plies. From a Spanish point of view
the war at present has resolved itself
into chasing small bands of insurgents
ahont the country, ana it would be abb
surd for the captain general to place
himself at the head Of one company OF
another OF these troops and follow strag.

There was only one avenue of escape
open, and she took it. theagh few men
would have the presence of mind to do
the necessary thing. She made quick.

up from the crowd as they saw the girl

water was not more than three feet
deep, but tho girl and wheel were both
submerged. The girl floundered to her
feet, gasping for breath, and with her
