CUBAN INSURGENTS.
New Captain General Wires from
Havana That He is About to
Capture the Rebels.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Captaln General
Marin cabled to-day from Havana to
Minister Dupuy de LONE that it was be-
lieved that Jose Maceo's insurgent band
had been located sast of Conto river, in
the province of Santiago de Cuba, and
Rabi was wounded.
This is regarded as of special import
ance, as the army of Maceo and Rabi had
been depended on by the insurgents to
succor Gomez in the Havana province.
Maceo's position on the Conto river, it
is said, is such that it will take him thirty
days to reach Gomez even if unopposed.
The wounding of Rabi is believed to
cripple his division, leaving Gomez alone
to withstand the Spanish forces, with
the purpose of closing in on him.

is what the A. & p. bondholders want.
Huntington is wonderfully smooth or
ganizer. He can make even antagonistic
corporations dance to his music when it's
to his welfare to do so. He will never
forgive the A., 7. & s. F. for cutting into
his rich California monopoly. The Rio
Grand Western in Utah and the Rock Is
land in Kansas both desire to reach out
to the southwest; the former wants to
an outlet to the Mexican border and the
coast. Huntington in control of the A.
q P. could play bold hand and accom-
modate all comers, for a consideration.
He could guarantee interest on the A. &
p. bonds and make a pile of money ont
of rentals besides. He has already
planned to build from the Needles to
Salt Lake. This would let the Rio Grande
Western trains and the U. P. also, if de-
sired, directly into California over Hunt
ingtor's lines. So much for that end of
the bargain.

four The four Ambassadors get ST.
500 a year. except Ambassador Mac
Veagh. who gets $4,000. But this is so
inadequate. especially in time of
trouble. when money must be spent,
that representatives tremble lest they
have that honor thrust upon them. In
leisurely Italy the war talk has scarcely
touched the Minister thus far.
Minister Alexander, of Greece, says
he C = live more comfortably upon his
S6.5CJ a year, with the rank of Minis
ter. than he could upon S17500 as an
Ambassador with the etiquette of the
Ambassador to maintain. So much
does the rumor of war affect Minis
ter-s home that since the beginning
of the Venezuela controversy, it is said
theiGrecian butcher who supplies Min
lister Alexander has charged him dou-
Bile. as his sympathies are with broth
er, an English sailor.
The Alexander house is a large
square structure in Athens. 1t floats
on holidays the American flag, and has
the appearance of a city mansion in
this country. It's servants are natives,
and its garden is flied with the flowers
of Greece, while around its doors hang
the types of Greece, the peasants
selling trifles, the flower girls and the
beggars. 1t is a very comfortable Le-
cation. and Minister Alexander, with
his wife and daughter, has been sin
gulariy successful in making it home
for Americans travelling in Greece.
THE NICARAGUAN HOME.
Minister Lewis Baker, of Nicaragua
lives in a native house, with two stO-
ries. a deep veranda and all native
servants. He has made himself Sc
much one of the NicaTaguans that his
friends in Minnesota, his native State
who are "on the inside, claim that
but for his office the trouble over the
Nicaraguan canal would have become
as serious as the Venezuelan dispute,
He has a way OF making the natives
respect him, and, through all the
trouble. his home has been as peaceful
as q summer sky.
On the first day of Minister Bakers
arrived in Nicaragua-the mission in
cluded Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Sal
vador-Minister Baker went out for a
walk. A crowd soon gathered around
him. following the "MiniStro Amer-
CO." This. Mr.. Baker, being a modest
man. did not relish, so he stepped into
a barber shop.

able diplomat that he is. spoke never a
word.
The late Theodore RunyOn. Ambas-
sador to Germany. protested several
times during the last year against the
lack of a permanent Legation in Ger
many. His main plea was that with
q Legation belonging TO the United
States. the question of hOUse-furnish-

ture and decorations would remain

lions; and the newcomer would not

Suddenly they make a speech or Kill

wax, color it pink, if it is woman, stir
in a little red if it is a man and pour
it into the mould.
when it is in we let it stand until
the outside has cooled enough to make
a shell. We turn then it then right size
up. and the wax runs out, leaving the
head hollow. Then we turn it over to
the feature artist.
He takes it upon hin shelf and
shaves of the creases made by the
seams in the cast. And when he mas

as a red beet. he reaches upinside the
head with a hot piece OF metal, and
holds Tie hot end where the eye ought
to be, until there is an eye socket in
the wax. Of course the place for the
eye has been provided for in the cast.
THE eyes are fastened in place in
