Know How to Handle Crowds

The handling of big crowds has been
reduced to a science by the great Wal
lace shows. 1t provides more than one
ticket wagon, has several entrances and
plenty of employees to assist its patrons
in seeing its wonders and getting seats
that are satisfactory. The arrange
ment of its stages and rings is such that
no seat is bad Nor does this circus re-
serve nearly all the space; only about
one fifth of the seates are extra. AL
though thousands see the show daily,
they are handled so PERFECTLY as to
avoid all jostling At Butler, Thursday

CUBA SENDS
AN I'LL TIMATUM,
No Intervention That Does Not
Mean Independence.
AUTONOMY Is NOT WANTED-OUE-
SEDA AND. ALBERTINI VISIT
SECRETARY SHERMAN AND
HAVE A LONG TALK WITH HIM.
RECEIVED IN THEIR OFFICIAL,
CAPACITY.

Washington, Dec. lit is sail to be
fact that the Cuban republic has lodgeu
an ultimatum with Secretary Sherman,
declaring that the island government will
accept no sort of Intervention which does
not contemplate independence.
One day this week Mr. GonZ, 10 de Que
saba. who has been made charge
d'aifaires of the Cuban Republic. and Mr..
Ricardo Dlaz Albertini, second secretary
of the junta, called on Secretary Sher
man and had IL long talk with him. They
stayed at least three-quarters or an hour
The statement was made to Il reporter
yesterday that these gentlemen were re-
ceived in their official capacity and that
the Secretary of State Ie ceived from them
certain documents which had been sent
to them from the Cuban republics au.
thorities.
The information was given last night
that these documents were under the seal
Of the repu bile, and contained princip ally
the statement and the reasons for it why
the Insurgents would never agree to the
autonomistic plan nor to any plan that
did not mean the absolute Independence
OF the island.
The object, 1t is said, of having the
matter placed in this way before the Sec
rotary of State was that he should have
no doubt officially of the views Of the in
surgents, and that the same should be
conveyed to him other than through
newspaper reports, which however, have
been correct in most particulars.
IL Is rather q curious circumstance that
the visit of these gentlemen should have
escaped the attention of the newspaper
men. Although the Cuban agents were
seen coming from the east side of the
Army an" Navy building, it was not then
known that they had been with the Sec
rotary OF state. 1t was also denied in the
Army and Navy budding that they had
been there, or rather, it was stated That
they had not been seen there.
Senator Quesada was seen last night
and was asked what truth, .f any, was in
the report that he, with Albertini, had
called on Mr.. Sherman. MIR. Quesada
was inclined to evade ans rering, but he
eventually admitted that he and Mr.. AL
bertini had been with Mr.. Sherman, and
had remained for some time. Mr.. Que
sada spoke OF the inter view as very pleas
ant. He would not discuss at ali the re-
ports of what was stated to have taken
place.
There is, as stated, however, very
good reason.to believe that the circum-
stances of the interview are as stated
above.
An interesting part of the story is that
these gentlemen were received in their
official capacity.

Streaming UNDER WATER.
A Submarine Craft That Realizes
Jules Verne's Dreams.

Baltimore, Dec. 17.--In the presence of
Mayor Malster and other repI sentative
citizens n practical test of the POSSIBLE
tiles o. the submarine boat, the Argo.
EautS designed by Simon Lake, of this
city, for the purpose Of locating sunken
vessels, was made yesterday The trail
trip was IN every way satisfactory.
In addition to cruising on the bot tom
OF thefPatapsco river, II diver left the YES
sci FROM one of the forw ard com partments
and returned through the coming tower,
while submel ged in about twenty feet of
water. Two trips were made, the first of
an hour and the second consuming n
much longer time.
The vessel was run out from the pier
and, after maneuvering for some time in
search of suitable position, was sub
merged In about ten minutes, the posi-
ton being designed by nagstaff
The actual working abilities were then
demonstrated. From one side of the
river to the other the boat was run. aud
finally appeared ut the surface The in
mates of the strange device appeared no
worse for their experience.
The second party down were treated to
the novelty of entinG the first meal ever
cooked under water, consist ng of oyster
stew and coffee. They also saw the diver.
Cr. Wilson, of Washington. lsave the boat,
walk about on the eo,tom ann then re.
turn by different way. The vessel is
twenty nine feet in length and draws
seventeen feet of water. 1t is built en-
t!rely of iron, conical In shape, and is
propelled by Il screw. In addition to this
three corrugated wheels are attached
which run along the bottom and which
are driven by gasoline engines.
The possibilities OF this strange craft
are beyond the powef of conception. Not
only can treasure he obtained from the
ocean, but IL successful torpedo boat is
obtained, which will revolutionize naval
warfare.

The Senate to-day devoted two hours

business in open session.
The matter of grinding out county
judges still occupies the ate ntion of the
members of the legislature. Many mem
bers express surprise and disgust at the
methods pursued by some Of the candi-
dates and their adherents. The retiring
modesty and dignity that is supposed TO
hedge the honorable Office of Judge is not
in evidence here. Bowery methods have
usurped the bench and robbed it of it's
honors. Log rolling, trading, scheming
and open charges and counter charges of
fraud, trickery, swindling. drunkenness
and general debauchery have in some in
stances characterized the contests for the
high and honorable office Of Judge. Some
OF the aspirants base their claims for
oiilce on II promise of reform coupled
with an implied threat that If they don't
get what they want they will 20 to hades
