, HAVANA, Nov. 11.--Captain General
Blanco has issued circular announcing
that he has decided to furnish all the pro
lection necessary to bringing about re-
sumption of general planting, harvesting
and reconstruction throughout the coun-
try. especially in the case of the sugar
crop. He further DEGREES that all the au-
thorities of the island are to lend uncon-
ditional support to the proprietors of farms

crops and tend their cattle. The civil au-
thorities are instructed to encourage to the
utmost those who wish to grind sugar cane
and to offer them assurances and the neces-
sary military forces to protect themselves
and their property. The regions where ag-
ricuiture is more extended will be esDecial-
ly provided for. The authorities are author
lied to assist even those who are behind
in their taxes and to do their utmost to
increase the commercial facilities of the
planters. All war measures are abrOgated
in regard to agricultural implements, ma
chinery etc, and the right of the
railroad to charge 20 per cent. on all freight
carried is done away with. The govern
ment officials throughout the island are in
Structed to faithfully comply with these in
strucuons and they are notified that if
they show themselves deserving they will
be rewarded in accordance with the degree
of zeal they have manifested in pushing
the work of bringing about 'reconstruc-
tion' of the island of Cuba.

Of his predecessor as to the destruction of
the fields and huts of the insurgents. He

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA very pretty
play in deep sea diplomatic maneuvsring is
going on at this writing in Washington be-
tween Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Canadian pre-
mler, and representatives of this govern
ment. The play begins with palaver over
relagic sealing, and the purpose of the
crafty Canadian diplomat is the adoption of
a reciprocity treaty between the United
States and the Dominion government under
the terms of which the Canadian Pacific
may be left in the enjoyment of it's rights
to pirate for through freight traffic at the
expense of It's rival lines of railroad in the
United States To attain that end the pre-
mier is prepared (under compusion) to
make concessions all along the line-on
sealing, on boundary matters, on Klondilxe
determinations against citizens of this
country, and a dozen other things of polit-
ical and commercial Importance. The ques-
tion is will this government consent to pay-
ing the price demanded for these advan-
tages? Will it not be too heavy penalty
to agree to the perpetuation of destruc-
tive handicap on every through line OF
American railroad? The real purpose and
object of Laurier's visit to Washington is
only just dimly dawning on the Washington
diplomats.

MEMORIAL FOR OUR DEAD.

Another year has rolled around since
the last assembly of the Veterans of For
est County and vicinity, at Marienville,
Time has wrought some changes. Some
who met with us then we miss to-day.
Resolved; That we desire as an associa-
tion, in some fitting terms, and with one
voice to express our irrepairable and
heavy loss in the deaths of our comrades,
e. E. Clapp, John Rhodes, d. G.. Moriar-
ty, members of this body.
ResolUed; By this association chat the
death of Edwin e. Clapp has removed
from among us, one of our most cher
ished and beloved members-a bright
light, who by his zeal in the cause of
freedom, and by long and intimate asso-
citation with us as our friend, was en-
deared to us by many ties OF affection
aud love.
ResolUed; That by the demise Of John
Rhodes and ID. G. Moriarty, we lose
worthy comrades who were devoted to
the principles of Fraternity, Charity and
Loyalty, we hereby tender to the rela-
tives of these worthless, their neighbors
and devoted friends, our sympathy and
coincidence and join in the praise of the
public at large of the virtues of these pa
triots and good men.
That in the death of d. G. Moriarty of
VIM. Wray Post we lose valued COM
rade, who always did his duty in war and
in peace, true to his post to the last. AS
one of England's greatest poets has said
Each lonely scene shall them restore,
For them the tear we duly shed,
Beloved till life could charm no more
And mourned till PHYS selfbe dead"
