worth OF bonds that were sold last Au-
gust, Is that the town lay aside $500
every year. until the maturity OF the
bonds.
Assuming the property valuation OF
the town to be $40, 600, 600, there must be
paid into the sinking fund this year sl3, :
BOO. This amount, together with the in
terest on the bonds, makes total amount
OF s2s, 300 to be paid out by the town, this
coming spring.
The money paid into the sinking fund
may not be removed until IL equals the
par value of the issue Of bonds for which
II has been paid In.
A number of the towns shrewdest men
are advocating the purchase, II possible,
of the second issue OF bonds, even though
a premium would have To be paid. The
town is paying, they say, very much
larger amount OF interest than they are
receiving from the money in the sinking
fund; so that ii would be profitable in
vestment for the town to buy her own
bonds at premium.
1t Is figured that the town can afford
to pay 110 for the bonds.
The bonds spoken OF are all held by the
X. !. Trust Company. 1t has not, as yet,
been asked them at what figure they will
sell the bonds.
In order to buy these bonds a sum sufii-
cient to- raise the sinking fund to the
amount OF the par value of these bonds Will
have TO be appropriated at the financial
town meeting. Then and not until then
may that portion of the sinking fund de-
voted TO this issue of bonds be drawn and
used TO buy up the town bonds.

however, been built upon. This land is sapar-
ated from the print works by street which
connects tho main street and those at the
lower end Of Lippit, crossing the railroad
track just below the Clyde depot. AS the land
will soon be needed for the erection OF new
buildings and 10 desires TO have the works
within one enclosure, a new street is to be
made and the present one closed. The present
street is a crooked one, hut the new one,
which will be about 500 feet nearer the Clyde
depot, will be very nearly straight, leaving
the main street opposite the Greene home
stead and merging into the present one at the
railroad crossing. Several buildings which
stand in the line Of the new street, will be
removed to other locations, and one has
already been moved to a site on the opposite
side of the railroad.

MADRID, Aug. 1.-THE Duke of
Tetuan, Spanish minister of foreign af-
fairs, has received a Washington dis
patch giving satisfactory assurances
regarding the alleged filibustering ex-
petition of the Laurada.
WASHINGTON,A Aug. 1e.-The steam
er Laurada, referred to in the Madrid
dispatch, has figured frequently in the
claims made by Spanish authorities
that American merchants there were
engaged in filibustering operations. In
January last the then captain of the
vessel was indicted in the federal
courts Of South Carolina, but was &C
quilted after a jury trial. Frequent
reference has been made to the expert
cree of the Laurada at Mayport, Flor
ida, in May last The captain on that
occasion failed to take out health pa
pers required by law, and this led to
the surveillance of the Laurada by a
Spanish war vessel 1t was claimed
that ten Cubans were located on board,
and that quantities of war material
and dynamite were thrown in the
water after the Spanish war vessel
put in an appearance. 1t was also
represented at the time of the appear
ance of the Spanish cruiser that thirty
men were drowned owing to the pre-
cipitouS haste in getting ashore to
avoid apprehension. The Spanish au-
thorities claimed that the United
States had taken no proceedings to-
ward Selling the vessel or arms in ac-
cordance with the neutrality laws. All
the state department officials were alb
sent from the city tonight, SO no state
ment could be obtained from that
quarter.

and MfssOurf-But First He VIII
Take a Vacation.

IRVINGTON, N. Y, Aug. 16-To the
itinerary already published, Demo-
cratic Candidate Bryan has added
Baltimore and st. Louis. The fact
that Baltimore has been added at the
special request Of Senator German is
evidence that pleasant relations exist
between Mr.. Bryan and the Maryland
senator, and that Mr.. Bryan will as
sist Senator German in his Maryland
campaign in return for assistance
from the senator. Mr.. Bryan was a
trif1e annoyed today by the story that
he and Senator Jones were at logger
heads over the choice Of national head
quarters. He intimated that, while he
had favored Chicago personally, he
had not demanded its selection, but
had left the choice to a number of
Democratic leaders, among them Gov.
Stone, Mr.. Sewall, Senator Jones and
Gov. Altgeld, and that the majority
had declared for the Western city.
Washington, he said, would have a
branch, and Senator German would
do a good deal Of work there, in fact,
as much as he could in view of the de-
mands Of his own campaign. The
programme of Mr.. Bryan after his va
cation includes speeches in Buffalo.
Erie. Cleveland, Baltimore and st.
Louis. 1t is undecided whether the
proposed second New York speech
shall be made before Mr.. Bryan goes
West or when he returns to speak in
New England. He said tonight that
1T rested with the campaign committee
to decide whether he speaks in New
York again. The candidates party
spent the day very quietly. This morn
ing they attended the PRESBYTERIAN
church in Irvington in company with
Gen. Samuel Thomas and Mrs
Thomas. 1t was not known that Mr.
and Mrs. Bryan would be present. 81
that the congregation was of onlv it's
usual size. The Rev. Mr.. Ingham
preached. No political illusions were
made in the sermon, and after the
services the pastor and MANY others
shook hands with Mr. and Mrs. BRYAN.

and Mrs. Bryan, Mr. SewalI and Mr.
and Mrs. 0. J. Smith went for drive

Government Maps Show the Differ

WASHINGTON, Aug 16-The big
general maps of the government issued
by the general land office yearly, have
just been issued for this year. The re-
suit of the work of engraving and
printing Is one of the most complete
and finely executed sets yet issued by
the government. The feature is the
division of the country into sections
marking the various cessions and pur-
chases from other governments. The
tracts covered in the original thirteen
colonies and the Gadsden purchase, the
Texas annexation, the cessions of Loui-

clearly set out for the first time. Com

SENSATION BEHIND 1T.
BEING RECALLED TO
SPAIN.
Ordered a Young Omcer to Commit
Suicide to Escape Court
Martial.

KEY WEST, Fla, Aug. 16-Captain
General Weyler and Gen. Ochando
were the principals In a sensa tional
affair which occurred shortly before
the latter sailed for Spain. The death
of Gen. Ochando's nephew. who was
a lieutenant in the Spanish army, was
the cause Of the trouble. There were
ugly rumors In circulation rejecting
on the young lieutenant, who was ac-
cused of conducting a reasonable cor
respondence with Maxine Gomez, the
insurgent chief When Weyler heard
OF the runors he summoned the young
man to the palace and questioned him.
Weyler was apparently satisfied of the
young mans guilt and told him that if
he did not commit suicide in twenty
four hours he would be court-mar-
tailed and shot.
The lieutenant left the palace, went to
his room. and in six hours was a
corpse, having shot himself through the
heart. The affair was hushed UP and
the Spanish official report said the
young man died of yellow fever.
Shortly afterwards Gen. Ochando ar
rived in Havana and learned the true
story of his nephew's death He was
greatly enraged. He Immediately went
to the palace to call Weyler to account.
The meeting Of the generals was most
sensational. Ochando denounced Wey-
Ter in the bitterest terms, alleging that
the lieutenant was guiltless and had
been driven to his death. Ochando
termed Weyler murderer and butcher
and challenged him to duel. The men
drew swords and would have fought in
the palace but for the interference of
other officials. Two days later Gen.
Ochando sailed for SPAIN He is great
~ enraged and says he will make the
affair public when he reaches Spain
and demand Weyler's recall.

WHOLLY UNTRUE.
A Chicago story Involving Merriam
and Pillsbury.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug ia story was
sent out from here last night purport-
ing to give the details of a disagree
ment between distinguished Minnesota
Republicans. 1t was stated that Mer-
RAM and Pillsbury had fallen out, and
that they had poured their troubles
into the ears of Mark Anthony Hanna,
chairman of the Republican national
committee. The tale was woven out of
whole cloth by a correspondent who
aimed at sensationalism pure and SIM
pie. There was no truth in 1t what
ever, further than that both Mr.. Mer-
Ram and Mr. Pillsbury were in Chi
cago, visited national headquarters,
and had pleasant chats with Mr.. Han
ma. Each expressed the belief that
Mckinley would carry the North Star
state, but neither so much as suggest
ed that the national committee inter
fere in any way with the state cam
paign in Minnesota.

How Farmer Realized That on
Oats.

Special to the Globe.
living near the boundary line had a
load of oats to sell a few days ago,
and he took them to Crystal City, in
stead of hauling them. as usual, to
Langdon. Crystal City is in Manitoba,
and after he had sold them the reve-
nue. officer told him he must pay a
duty ON the oats. The farmer was as
tcnished, and declared that he under
stood that since Laurier was elected
premier of Canada there was free trade
between Canada and the United States
The fellow was evidently honest in his
belief. The duty was 10 cents per
bushel. and the price he received for
his oats was but nine cents so he will
await official tidings of free trade be-
fore he crosses the boundary on the
same errand again.

sun that President Kruger. of the
Iransvaa! republic, had concluded a
treaty with q European power con-
trary to the convention of 1884 and

TO matters in Africa, the Chronicle saws
u Is learned that the British govern

the Egyptian forces to -Lado or Wade

with troops from Uganda, thus being
IN position to dominate the valley of

that there is yet time to reconsider 50
