C0ncefnlng Policy TO Be PErsued Regard.
Ing Relations With the U. ).
Madrid, October 21-The Queen Re-
gent presided over the cabinet coun-
Gil to-day. Senior Sagasta, the prem
Ter, and Admiral Bermejo. minister
of marine, both of whom were indis-
posed, were absent Senior Gullon
the minister of foreign affairs. ex.
planned at length the present stains
of SPANS diplomatic relations with
the United States and declared the
cabinet was entirely in accord as to
the policy to be pursued.
Gen. Correa, minister of war. said
he was satisfied with the manner in
which reinforcements were coneen-
trating for Cuba. He declared that
there were very few assertions.
At the meeting of the cobinet to-
morrow, Senior Sagasta presiding, the
ministers will consider the drafting of
the answer of Spain to the note of the
United States on the subject of Cuba,
delivered to the Spanish government
by the United States minister, Gen.
Stewart L. Woodford, shortly after his
arrival here. 1t is understood that the
reply will contain a formal protest
against filibustering.
Ell Heraldo says that Senior Gullon
submitted to the premier to-day his
suggested reply to the note and that
the premier approved it, but intimated
that it should be withheld until after
the arrival of Marshal Blaneo at
Havana.
LONDON October 21.-The Madrid corr
respondent OF the Daily Mail says: Sem
or De LONE. the Spanish minister at
Washington, has been instructed to noti-
fy the American government that hence
forth filibustering expeditions viii be re-
garded as breaches of International law.
Such, at any rate, Is the substance of his
Instructions. though it is just possible that
the form in which they will be carried
into effect may modify their import.
A very bad impression has been made
here by the news from Havana that
majority of the important Industrial, COM
mercial. mining. railway and steamship
enterprises in Cuba are being rapidly con-
verted into foreign companies. chiefly
American and English. 1t is feared that
this may enable the companies to claim
damages from Spain for losses during the
war. Perhaps further reason why they
are seeking English and American protec-
ton is that Cuban capital fears the tyran-
ny, disorder and throat-cutting which will
follow Immediately on the proclamation
of Cuban independence when the time
comes for 1t.

London, October 21-Col. John Hay,
the United States ambassador, and the
officials of the British foreign Office,
decline to furnish the press with the
text of Great Britain's reply to the
suggestions of the United States mon
etary commissioners, though the for
eign Office people say it is in sub
stance identical with the Associated
Press dispatches of Saturday last CIV
ing the result of the meeting of the
British cabinet, and that the commu-
nication sent yesterday to the COM
missioners through the United States
ambassador, was practically reitera-
ton of the statements on the subject
already made. A similar reply has
been sent to the French embassy. The
commissioners recognize that their
mission has been unsuccessful, though
they will not admit it, as the answer
Of Great Britain says that country
will be glad to receive other PROPOSE
tions, and the commissioners have de-
cided, as matter of form, to return
to France and consult the French gov
eminent as to whether fresh proposals
are desirable. But it is not expected
that anything will result from their
visit to France
The Marquis of Salisbury. in his note
to the United States ambassador and
to the French ambassador, Baron de
Courcel, says that by far the most
important proposal submitted is that
concerning the reopening of the In
dian minis. He adds: THE govern
ment of India points out that hey can
hardly be expected to give up a poi: y
which for four years they have been
endeavoring to make effective, in the
absence of substantial security that
the system to be substituted for it is
practically certain to be stable If,
owing to the relative smallness of the
area over which the bimetallic system
is to be established to the great di-
vergence between the proposed ratio
and the present gold price of silver or
to any other couse, the legal ratio of
silver were not maintained, the posi-
ton of silver might be much worse
than before and the financial embar-
easements Of the government of India
greater than any with which they have
aslyet had to contend"
Inc reply then adds that even if
these relations were not strong
enough, the Indian government could
not be expected to reverse a policy
which has only been on trial for four
years, and concluded:
Her Majesty's government is there
fore DESTROYS to ascertain how far the
views of the French and American
governments have been modified by
the decision arrived at and whether
they desire to proceed further with the
negotiations at the present moment.

How to Make Soap.

In letter to the household depart.
ment a lady gives her experience with
making soap from wood ashes. She
says:
81 first make frame of pieces of
scantling on strong forks; drive them
down in the ground about three feet
apart. having the two in front a few
inches the lowest; then put some strong
pieces from fork to fork Now have
some boards, and lay on, making them
close, SO your I've will not waste; then
get -four barrel, knock the bottom
out, set it on your frame, throw in a
handful of shucks and a few green
chips, to keep the ashes from packing
so close that they will not drip good.
Fill a barrel with ashes; always pour
in bucket of water occasionally, while
putting in ashes; it will drip quicker.
Don't leave the barrel too full of ashes.
Leave room for bucket of water. 1t
requires good deal to start it to drip
ping. | put a small tab under the low
er side to catch the I've. Have your pot
ready, and empty I've until you get it
nearly filled; make fire and boil it un-
til it foams, or about half an hour, then
put in your grease and boil until it
thickens. I always put in plenty, for
it will be white as lard on top Of your
soap, and when cold take it off and
put away to use in the next soap you
make. 1 generally make the soap in
half a day. II the I've is rendered
down it is a soft soap, but washes we'll

Of rosin off the pine, the size Of hens

All About Bee Hives.

In the first place, it is well known
that the common or black bees do not
increase to such an extent under the
same conditions as do the Italian bees.
The honey season has also much to do
with It, During a scarcity Of honey
bees will not increase so rapidly as if
the honey flow was heavy. Also, the
size Of the hive has much to do with
the control Of swarming. If album
dance Of room is given black bees for
storage, they will seldom swarm at
all, even in the best of honey seasons
Plenty of storage room has much to do
In controlling the swarming of Italian
bees, but they are more liable to
swarm than blacks. It is very import
ant to have beehives just the right
size, even if they are made old box
fashion. A very large hive will never
produce good results any way you take
It. Hives should be made sectional,
and if at any time more room is needed
add another section. The required
size, as given in our standard works,
is about 1900 cubic inches.-Kansas

Washing Dirty Eggs.

Unless the washing of eggs is done
about as soon as they are soiled it can
do no good The shell of the egg is
porous, and it is the air which enters
at all times that sustains life in the
germ during the three weeks Of incu-
baton. A few hours Of exposure to
air that has filtered through shell
soiled with filth will addle the egg and
make it worthless for incubation. 1t
also very quickly Injuries the favor of
eggs. Therefore the best thing to do
with an egg that is soiled is to wash it
thoroughly at once, and then use it be-
fore it has time to deteriorate.

slightly tonic to the stomach and aid

the dandelion under good cultivation
grows much larger than In it's wild
state, and is therefore much more cas-

Making the Soil Deeper.

Though the farmer may not want to
pillow deep for spring crops he always
likes to have soil as deep as possible.
1t is an advantage to topdress even
though only poor soil is used to do it
with. We have known the soil dug
from deep wells and spread over ad-
joining land to greatly help the soil
after year or two. This subsoil was
rich in mineral fertility, though of
course it had little or no vegetable
matter. After it had been exposed to
frost one or two winters it produced
good small grain crops, though manure
was needed when corn, potatoes or 9th
er hoed crops We're planted on it.--Ex-
