A CHANCE FOR
 YOUNG AMERICANS.
The Government In Need of Americans Who Are Well yersed In the
 Spanish Language.

Washington, Oct 22.-A high official in the state department calls attention to the necessity of finding suitable corps of bright young men well versed in the Spanish language to assist in the execution of the colonial policy which has been imposed on the nation as re- suit of the war.
 He points to the difficulties enooun. tered by the American officials, naval and military, who went to the Philip pines, Cuba and Porto Rico, in dealing with the inhabitants of these islands. Clashes might easily arise and serious disagreement could be sure to follow for a failure on the part of the governments agents to learn the feelings of the peo- pie whose affairs they were to admins ter. This condition was encountered at Cayite early in the United States mili- tary occupation, and the relations be- tween the military and the insurgents might have been more satisfactory had the Americans been well acquainted with the Spanish manners and customs.
 The official suggested that the time was ripe for some leading educational institutions to provide special courses that would furnish the government with trained agents in case of need, as well as develop class of enterprising con- mercial agents, who would be of value in developing colonial trade.

NEW RATES ON
 CATTLE FROM TEXAS.
Those In the Panhandle Can Now Be Shipped by Colorado Roads
 Without Loss.

Denver, Oct. 22.-The Texas Panhan- de has been added to the territory trib- utary to the Denver cattle market Up to October the railway rates were such that very few cattle could afford to come this way from Texas, but the Union Pa. cifc and Denver and Gulf have just put in rate which makes it not only possi. ble but advisable to ship Texas cattle by way of Denver. The new rate is 3l cents per 100 pounds from all points upon the Gulf line as far south as Far. well, Tex, to the Missouri river via Den. yer From Farwell to Bstelina the rate is 34 cents via Denver with feed priyi- leges in transit at any point The new tlriff carries a fiat rate to Denver on all
 attle of % cents per 100 pounds, so
 hat shippers who sell cattle to stop here can pay the 26.cent rate if they de- sire. but if they want billing through to the river, they have only to pay 3l cents or 34 cents, according to points where the shipment originates.

It Is Stated That Enough Transports Could Not Be Obtained to Con-
 plete by December 1.
AMERICAS POLICY
 HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED.
Spain Must Relinquish the Islands as Provided by the Terms of Peace, and as Soon as She Can
 Possibly Do So.

Washington, Oct. 22.-It is now cer- tain that the complete evacuation of Cuba will be delayed beyond the period originally fixed by the administration. This was followed entirely without ref. erence to anything that has occurred in Paris before the peace commission. The war department has about satisfied it. self that the task imposed upon the Spanish authorities, namely, the remov- al and the transportation to a great dis tance by sea of about l20,000 soldiers, sick and well, with their accoutrements, was beyond the ability of the Span. iards.
 The magnitude of the task is shown by the fact that the great transatlantic steamer lines crossing the Atlantic from New York all combined, in prosperous seasons, transport only about 50,000 per sons in one year--less than half the number that the Spanish officials with their poor facilities are expected to trans port in about ten weei.s.
 Delay in the evacuation of Cuba will cause q delay in the relinquishment of Cuba by the Spaniards over the entire island which was set for December 1. II is hardly deelaed prq5ent t9 under. take to assume charge of the municipal affairs of Havana so long as the city con. tains q strong garrison of Spanish troops, and it is felt that law and order could be better maintained i'll such centres by allowing them to remain under Spanish jurisdiction until they are evacuated by the troops and reoccupied by United States troops. -
 It is not to be understood that from this time the American military com. mission IS in any sense abating the press. ure 1t has brought to bear upon the Spanish military to evacuate the island and relinquishment of Spanish sover- eighty. On the contrary they have re- doubled their efforts to secure the ob- jeets, but are not disposed to insist upon the performance of impossible tasks, and their demands will be largely shaped by their knowledge that the Spaniards are acting in perfectly good faith in their efforts to carry out the terms of the protocol,
 Jan. 1 is the next date fixed.

islands are inhabited by savages whom
the Spanish never conquered. The ma

the best OF the whole lot. They have
had the advantage of two centuries or
more with such civilization as the
Spanilrds possess. They have had
more chance of education than their
fellows of the remote provinces. Yet
not even the best of them are capable
of self government. Aguinaldo him
self falls short of comprehension Of the
requirements, possibilities and dangers
of the institutions he seeks to found.
Two hundred years of free government
by Americans and free schools and
all that implies, will not fit the people

derstand it. A successful government

HOW TO TELL A HORSES AGE.
Much Experience Required and
Many Things to Be Considered.

To distinguish merely between the
young horse and the old, II is only nee
essary to remember a few salient facts.
The first Is that the milk teeth are pres
ent in the horses mouth until he is be-
tween four and five years old. The
second fact is that the mark" or
dark central depression on the surface
Of the incisors. becomes gradually worn
out, and in horse over eight years old
has nearly always disappeared from
the teeth of the lower jaw. The third
fact is that the shape of the tooth Is
much wider from side to side than it
is from front to back. As the horse be-
comes older the surface progressively
narrower, from side to slde and thus,
instead of remaining always oblong,
1t becomes triangular, and then in very
old animals flattened from side to side.
In young horses then, we judge the
age by observing which of the milk
teeth are present. and which have been
replaced by permanent ones. To dis
tinguish between the milk teeth and
the permanent, remember that the milk
teeth are smaller, whittier. and have a
distinct neck. Until colt is over two
years old his teeth are all milk teeth,
and the age estimated from the amount
of wear shown on the crowns of the
teeth. Between two and three of the
first permanent teeth make their APP
pearanCe. and push out the middle two
teeth in both upper and lower jaw. A
horse Is said to be three years old
when these central permanent incisors
are fully in wear During the next
summer the second pair of permanent
teeth appear, and when they are fully
grown and in wear, the horse is four
years old. Between four and five the
last pair make it's appearance and
now the horse has what is called a full
mouth. So far both mares and horses
are alike, but at or near five years old
the CANNES, or "tushes," appear in the
male sex only. Up to the end of this
period the determination of the age Is
comparatively easy matter, and any
| one who IL at all observant can readily
give the age of horses, by looking at
their teeth. After a full mouth Is at
tained ii is a more difficult matter, and
the difficulty of accurately telling the
age of old horses is greater in proper
tion to their age. So much is this the
case that it Is popularity supposed tina,
it is impossible to tell the age of hor-
ses after they are eight years old. This
may be true to a great extent among
the unframed and inexperienced, but to
an expert il is not difficult to tell the
age up to fifteen years with fair de-
gree of accuracy, and after that age
to approximate it within couple OF
years. To do this successfully requires
| much experience and a careful inspec-
| ton of the visible indications of age
To rely upon one only, such as the
mark" is to court defeat. All should
| be obscrved-the mark, the shape of the
| teeth. their length, and the angle al
which they meet those Of the other
| Jaw.
