an article on the settlement of the Venez-

bury has acted very cleverly in having
directed his policy SO that Great Britain
is again on friendly terms with the
United States. and that a sentiment OF
kinship is emphasized by the English
disputes of the two Anglo-Saxon nations
to arbitration.
The sagacity of the British nation is
readily seen in the fact that Great

in the United States. and the price she
pays for the friendship of the republic IL
not great.

 Saturday evening the members of the Nogales Amateur Dramatic Asso- citation returned from their trip to Bisbce. They report that they had one of the most enjoyable trips ever made anywhere by any party. It was one continual round of pleasure from their time of their departure to their return. At Bisbee they were royalty entertained. Everybody yied in mak- ing their visit pleasant. They were shown through the mines, the reduc- tion works and machine shops. They were greeted by good audiences at the two performances they gave. and gave a dance at the end of the last. Mr. Mix had his kodak along and got a number of snap shots at every mem- Der of the company They anticipate most amusing time when they meet to look over the photographs after they are developed. Beside those mentioned as going the party was joined at Crittenden by Miss Theo. Sprecher, and Mr. Geo. Jones went up from Benson.

Modern witchcraft.

Six years ago there lived on the Santa Cruz river Mexican ranchero who one day under the influence of liquor insulted an old Indian woman who is reputed to be 'bruja" witch and as such is feared by the pasanos. The ''brnjar avenged the insult by bewltching the rauchero. Since then he has been slowly declining and has been treated by d number of doctors, tried various health resorts including the Las Vegas hot springs, without obtaining relief, and is now confined to his house in Nogales. A short time ago through another ''bruja" there are number of the profession in No gales, the sufferer was informed that there was an old Indian living across the arroyo that could cure him. He sent for the Indian, who is very old and well skilled in witchcraft, and placed himself under his care. He immediately commenced to improve, but the ''bruja'' on the river by some occult means learned of what was go- ing on and at once turned her atten- tion to the old Indian, and by her witchcraft caused his death and the poor old man was buried at the ex- peDse of the county two weeks ago. As soon as he died the good effects Of his treatment ceased and the patient became worse, he then sent for local ''bruja" who has a high reputation among the paisanos, and she began treating him, but it appears that her power Is less than that of the "bruja" on the river, for in the night of the day that she commenced her treat ment, while she was sitting outside of the house, the river "bruja" appeared to her in the shape of a black bitch, with fire flashing from her nostris, and at once attacked her, telling her that if she did not desist at once from her efforts to cure the bewitched ranchero that her fate would be worse than his. After desperate struggle the local 'bruja" got away from her assailant. When asked why did not she use knife on the bitch, she re- piled that if she had done so and killed the beast the river "bruja" would have been found dead in her house on the river and she would have been accused of the murder.

From CoIlna.

Manzanillo, in the state of Colima. The firm named owns large hacienda comprising stretch of territory along the shore of the Pacific Ocean a thou sand meters in width and eleven miles long. It lies west of Manzanillo be- tween the bay on which the town is located and the seashore, and stretches northward from the Punta de Campos the distance named. This land k all very fertile: producing richly bananas, pine apples, lines and other tropical fruits. Staden X Co. arc heavy ship pers of all these fruits, and it was to arrange for supplying Southern Ari- zona and Sonora that Mir. Jennings has now visited Nogales. A large pro portion of these fruits consumed in Tucson, Phoenix, Nogales, Bisbee, Tombstone and other points in South ern Arizona, now come from the Man. zanillo plantations of this firm, going to San Francisco by the Pacific Mail steamers thence by rail to destination. They now propose to ship for this market via the steamers plying be- tween Manzanillo and Guaymas, and the Sonora railway. Mr. Jennings states that bunch of bananas costs the Arizona dealer B to S3 50, gold in San Francisco. He can deliver them on board of the cars at Guaymas for sl. 9, gold, and make as much as he does by sending them to San Francisco where the retail dealer has the higher price to pay. Of course the transpor- tation between Guaymas and Arizona markets is also in favor of this ar- engagement.
 Mir Jennings stated to THE OASIS editor that his firm would offer liberal inducements to a limited number of settlers, who mean business, to locate on their lands and embark in the cul- tivation of pine apples and bananas. He describes the profits as very hand some, and asserts that with few acres of these fruits in good bearing one can have handsome competence. One acre of ground will support 10000 good healthy pine apple plants. The third year after planting they will bear fruit, one each, which will sell on the ground for an average of thirty cents each, Mexican money. The next season the yield is one-half greater, and is maintained at that volume all seasons subsequently, With five acres bearing pine apples the owner enjoys princely revenue. To plant and bring to bearing two acres of the fruit would cost about s2,600, Mexican money. With two acres bearing fruit the other three could be planted and brought to maturity with small cost, from the shoots of the plants on the first two acres. The pine apple plants are set out fourteen inches apart, in rows with four feet between.
 Cultivation of bananas, is described as equally profitable. Lines are also raised with great profit For the latter the ground is cleared of under brush and the trees planted right among the native timber and allowed to grow without care or cultivation the only attention being paid when the crop is ready for picking. To cul- | tivatc the tree makes the fruit too large, which diminishes it's commer- cial value.
 Mir. Jennings describes the climate as yeritable paradise. The lay of the land is such that 1t is surrounded on three sides by water, and the breeze from any direction, save the east, is off from salt water, tempcring the

This Is explicit 1t Is an admission
that in the great contest four years ago

Who was Weaver? A former Rcpub-
llcan congressman form Iowa, who never
supported a Democratic measure or
voted for a Democratic candidate.
And for what did Mr. Weaver stand
in that campaign? He stood upon the
Omaha platform, which declared:

These and other vagaries and danger
GUS lunacies made up the Populst plat
form Of 1892, which Mr. Bryan Endorsed
by voting for Mr.. Weaver. He was
elected to Congress by Populist votes.
He tried to get into the senate by Popu-
list votes. He was nominated at Chica-
go by Populst influence, upon the dis
tinct understanding that the Populist
convention would nominate him also.
This was done, and he has received his
official notification Of that nomination.
