MOST TEMPERATE COUNTRY
Statistics Of the Consumption of
Beer, Wine and Spirits.

The Board of Trade of Great Britain
has recently been collecting and com
piling statistics relating to the pro-
duction and consumption of wine beer
and spirits in Germany, France, the
United Kingdom and the United States.
and the summary is quite interesting
1t shows that the consumption of wine
in France, with it's 100000 inhabi-
tants, is ten times greater than in the
other three countries combined, with
their 150,00O,OOO of inhabitants, and
also that it is increasing The total N
1885 was SO ,364, 600 gallons, or an
average per capita of p 81 gallons. The
total consumption in 1896 was /, 1877
24,OOO, or $3.50 gallons per capita.
The consumption of wine in Great
Britain in 1885 was Is, 10000 gallons,
or SO per capita. The total consump-
ton in 1896 was 1915, 900, or Il of d
gallon per capita. In the United States
the total consumption in 1885 was 49,
243,OOO or 80 gallons per capita In
1896 the total was 16.5TS,OO0, or
ID gallons per capita. Hence it
will be seen that while the consump-
ton of wine in Great Britain is almost
stationary, in the United States it is
falling off. In Germany complete sta
tistics have not been obtained since
1895, when the consumption was 3D.
10000 gallons, or log gallons per
capita.
1t is curious fact that although Ger
many is regarded as the great beer
drinking country, the average consump-
ton per capita is less there than N
Great Britain or Belgium. In the latter
country more beer is consumed in pro-
portion to the populaton-43 gallons
per capita-than in any other country
in the world except Bavaria, where the
per capita amounts to no less than 90
gallons annually.
The following statement will show a
comparison between the four countries

SENIOR MASO.
Agrees to Garry Out Request Of
Colonel Ray.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Oct. 10
Senior Bartolome Maso, accompanied by
two members of his staff, arrived this
morning at Manzanillo from Santa
Cruz del Sur, in Puerto Principe, about
seventy-five miles from Manzanillo,
where the Cubans now have their head
quarters, and where, on October 2Uth,
the Cuban Assembly will meet to elect
a new President. and to decide as to
the plans for disbanding the army, il
disarmament is considered advisable,
and as to other important matters.
He called at once on Colonel Ray,
who received him courteously, ex-
pressing pleasure at the opportunity of
an interview, and said he hoped Senior
Maso would arrange for disbanding the
Cubans under General Rios in the
neighborhood of Manzanillo, so that
work in the fields could begin. He also
earnestly advised the President of the
Cuban Provisional Government to dis
band the Cuban troops at all points now
in possession of the United States forces
in order that the men might give the
assistance so greatly needed to place
the country in a position to recover
from the evils of the three years war.
Senior Maso readily agreed to carry
out Colonel Rays request and said that
General Rios would receive orders i'm
mediately to disband his men. He said
he much regretted the outrages COM
mitted on the estates at Rigney and
elsewhere, but he thought it possible
that the deeds complained Of We're not
done by the Cubans, but by Spaniards.
Thoroughly in accord with Colonel
q al fn
diers to work throughout the province
of Santiago. he promised to do all in
his power to bring about this result,
believing, he said, that the sooner the
country was prosperous and happy the
sooner Cuba Libre would be accom-
plished, and believed also that the best
policy for Cubans now was to cooper
ate heartily with the Americans in
their plans for building up the coun-
try.
Il believe" said Senior Maso, in ter
minating the interview that Cuba in
two years will be more prosperous than
ever before"
The interview lasted about an hour,
and apparently was satisfactory to
both. Senior Maso leaves tomorrow on
his return, going by the insurgent
steamer Fernando.
General Wood, who is determined to
get over the Jamaica emigration prob
lem, Will ship back all who desire to
return by the Reina de Los Angeles

sent to Kingston for dry dock repairs

FRESNO, Oct. 13.-Henry T. Gage,
the Republican candidate for Governor,
has every reason to be pleased with his
reception in Fresno. When the train
that brought himI up from Hanford this
afternoon pulled into the depot, he was
greeted by an immense concourse.
There was great enthusiasm, and the
Republican Standard-bearer was re-
peatedly cheered as he alighted from
the train and took a seat in the four-in-
hand coach waiting. Many people had
gathered along the route of the process
sion and cheered heartily as Mr. Gage
passed. AT the Grand Central Hotel
Mr. Gage alighted, and going TO the
balcony made a brief speech of thanks
for his splendid reception.
In the evening he addressed a ire
mendous audience at the Barton Opera
house. Over a thousand people were
turned away, and an overflow meeting
was held in the Courthouse park, which
was addressed by c. w. Kyle of Oak
land and local speakers.
Mr.. Cages speech was vigorous one
and made an excellent impression. He
was frequently applauded. He started
out by predicting Republican success
and then took up the fusionist doctrines
for criticism. He said that the peo-
pie were alarmed at these doctrines
for socialism and anarchy lurked be-
meath the verbiage of the fusion plat
form. He eXtolled the high mission
of the Republican party, denied that
the railroad was an issue and dealt
the single tax many hard blows. He
also maintained that Mr.. Mcguire could
have defeated the so-called funding bill
had he desired. and promised that if
elected he would not discriminate be-
tween the rich and the poor. All should
have justice.
Attorney f. F. Preston followed in
a rafting speech, after which the
meeting adjourned with three cheers
for Gage and the Republican ticket.

All these charges were founded upon

WEALTH IN MINE DEBRIS.
Old Prospector Made Fortune
Out of the "Tailiugs"

There are some men in this world
who have to toll for mere apology OF
living-and then there are others. One
of these latter is Mr. Luce of Cargo
Muchacho. Luce's experience reads
like a romance. For twenty years he
had knocked about the coast, on the
desert, in the mountains, prospecting
and mining, and had finally, by hard
work and the closest economy, man
aged to scrape together a few hundred
dollars.
One day on the shores of the Colo
RADIO, some twenty miles north OF
Yuma. he met an old Mexican, who told
him of a deserted mine some ten miles
back from the river and seven miles
north of Hedges. Luce's interest was
aroused, and he visited that mine, to
find there an abandoned twenty-stamp
mill which had pounded away for many
years and finally shut down. He then
learned the story. The mill was on

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The publ
the report Of the Wainwright Board on
the parts taken by the respective YES
sells Of the United States fleet in the
destruction of Cervera's squadron
caused considerable commotion in the
Navy Department.
In view of the fact that the report
had not reached Washington at the
date of the publication, an inquiry was
set on foot by the department to as
certain, first, whether the publications

responsible for the discourtesy invoived
in the publication of an official report
before it had reached the Navy De-
partment
Commander Wainwright, the head of

terday, and very promptly disclaimed
any knowledge of the publication, stat
ing that he had left instructions that
the report was to be transmitted by
the Recorder, Lieutenant Captain Hart,
to the commander Of the North At
