Asks Russia TO Help.

Ew YORK, Nov. 23-Accordiug to
Washington dispatch to the Herald
China has appealed to Russia to oust
Germany from her territory as the re.
suit of occupation by German force
of part of the Shan Tung peninsula.
As the Russian legation il Peking is
in charge of the secretary, Count Cas-
sini, the minister having been trans
ferred to Washington as the diplomatic
representative of Russia, the negotia-
tions on the subject are being conduct
ed in St. Petersburg. 1t is hoped by
the Chinese that the influence exerted
by Russia which prevented the rehabil-
itation of the Turkish navy will be ex-
ercised upon Germany with equal sue
cess in the matter of her occupancy of
Chinese territory.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the
Chinese government to get Germany
to name date when she would with
draw her forces, the German govern
ment has taken no step in the matter,
and the fear is expressed in Eastern
and European diplomatic circles that
her occupation, if Lot permanent now.
is simply preliminary to such an end.

friends house inside the Spanish lines
and took supper. All this was under
the guns of Cabauas and Moro.
1t is learned from an inside source
that the object of the rebels was to re-
lease General Ruiz Rivera, and hang
citizen named Fumiro who is known as
a spy. They failed in the first object
only because of some misconeeption of
the appointed time on the part of con-
federates within the prison with whom
arrangements had been made to admit
them into the fortress. Fumiro man
aged to escape, across the harbor.

UNEXPECTED STATISTICS.

the last report of the commits
der of internal revenue is to be
e,|as criterion, the claim can no
longer be made that we are q nation of
beer, drinkers. For years the impress
sion has ,.been lodged in the public
mind that beer drinking was rapidly
ON the increase in this country and
that it was fast supplanting whisky as
national beverage, says the Tele-
phone-Reporter.
But the internal revenue COM
missioner's report for the fiscal year
ending June 80 shows that, as COM
pared with the previous year, there
Was an increase of revenue of 81, 1926, ,472
from distilled spirits consumed and
decrease of about the same amount in
the revenue from fermented liquors.
Another curious fact set forth in the
report is that there was decrease in
the production of distilled spirits of
nearly 63,000,000 gallons, which rem
dered idle more than. three thousand
Z d1stilleries. There was also decrease
of million and a half barrels in the
-pfSddiuieettifeno pffSd Of beer. But the amount ex-
pended for tobacco in Its various forms
did not vary more than thousand dol
lars from that expended for this
narcotic the previous year.
The report seems plainly to indicate
that the industrial depression of the
year under review bore heavily upon
the makers of the beer, while it
actually benefited the distillers The
explanation is, perhaps, found in the
fact that the poorer classes of wage
earners either did not have the money
to spare for the indulgence of their
favorite beverage, beer, or that with
remarkable self denial they abstained
in large plumbers from drinking in an
ticipation of harder times yet to come,
and thus have stored away the millions
of their dimes and nickels that annually
go for the amber liquid. On the other
hand, the WHISKY drinkers, being
more flush of funds and less apprehen-
sive of the need of cutting down ex-
penses as the sacrifice of appetite,
plunged into more reckless dissipation
than is their want when industrial
conditions are normal and business
.is moving along at its accustomed pace.
Still another view of the matter is
that the poorer element of society is
becoming more frugal in habit.

attack the Palace.

New YORK, Nov. 25.-On Sunday
morning, for the first time in the his
tory OF the Cuban war, rebel bullets
sought the palace in Havana, says a
dispatch to the Herald from Havana.
The shots came from Casa Blapca, 600
yards across the entrance to the har-
Dor, and while no one was hurt, the
palace, with its electric lights, was a
shining mark, and must lave been hit.
The Spanish authorities attempt to
make light of the affair, but at the
same time reporter for La Lucha who
wrote up and attempted to publish the
facts in the case, was put In prison.
The attack on Casa Blanca was made
by Brigadier-Ge Cardenas and so
rebels. They entered the town shortly
before midnight on horseback, and at
the end of an hour each man led out of
town horse with one extra head ap-
laden with clothing, pro-
visions, silver plate and money. Be-
fore they left they sent two volleys
across the narrow harbor entrance at

HAVANA, via Key West, Nov. o.
General Pando started for this city by
train last Saturday, according to Of
| fetal announcement, to take charge OF
| the campaign against the insurgents.
He was accompanied by all his staff,
and was escorted by a company of
artillery.
1t is stated on good authority, how
ever, .that.Pando has been commission
ed by Captain-General Blanco to enter
into communication with the insurgent
leaders, with view to arranging for
| peace. This statement is based upon
accurate knowledge of all the facts.
Pando first secured the release from
confinement of Damien Caballero, who
has been imprisoned for acting as a
spy for the insurgents. Pando fur
nished Caballero, who is god father of
Rabi, the man looked upon as being
the backbone of the insurgent govern
ment in the province of Santiago de
Cuba, with a considerable sum of
money and caused him to be attended
to Manzanillo, where good force was
placed at his disposal. Pando's peace
emmissarY was also furnished official
documents empowering him to act in
behalf of the Spanish commander.
Pando instructed Caballero to offer
General Rabi high rank in the Spanish
army and large sum of money to be
distributed among the other insurgent
leaders of that part of Cuba, and in
addition, large amount of money for
himself in the event of his succeeding
in arranging terms of peace.
Although Caballero has not returned.
confidential advices reaching Spanish
officials here seem to Indicate that he
has so far been unsuccessful. 1t is
understood that Rabi replied that he
believed the successful ending of the
war in favor of the insurgents was
approaching. That the Cubaus. with
the aid of the United StateS, will gain
their independence, and therefore he
desires to continue fighting the
Spaniards until the final victory is
won.

Zabika off Copper islands in 1891, re-
ceived word today that the Russian
government has offered $4,000 for
compensation. They will accept it.
The schooners were seized for being
within the prohibited zone, but it af-
terwards turned out that the comman-

owners claimed $50, for the loss of

A PhenomenaI Rainfall

The most phenomenal rainfall record
ed in the annals of Ohio took place on
the 18th day of August, 1861. Mr.. s. B.
Mcmillan, who gives an account of this
remarkable downpour, says that it ex.
tended over an area of at least 100 square
miles, The total amount of water which
fell during the II hours of precipitation
was 81 inches, and of that quantity 40
inches fell in AZ hours. What is meant
by fall of 81 inches of rain in so short
space of time will be better under
stood when the reader is informed that
one inch of rain means $4,000 gallons to
the acre. This immense quantity of
water will weigh 22O, 900 pounds, or 100
