Value of Weather service.

Washington, Oct. Especial weather
bulletin: '''rhe storm which sunday
broke with such fury over the Floiidn.
Georgia and South Carolinn const was
detected at its inception Thursday
morning by means of the recently cs-
tablished West Indian weather service.
Its approach was fully shown by
the new Gordon of stations and during
daylight Saturday warnings of the
coming storm were completely distiib-
uted throughout the regions covered
by the storm Sunday"
Since the remarkable success of the
service in giving warnings of hurri-
canes and other storms President sam
of IIayti has changed his mind and
now asks for what he rejected. The
people throughout all the West Indies
had not less than twenty-four hours
notice of the approach of the recent
hurricane which did so much damage
In Martinique and other islands. and
the shipping interests of Ilnyti were
among the first to recognize its value.
They appealed to President Sam. who
sent Mr.. Lcgcr. his minister IN Wash
ington, to the State Department to ask
that n weather station be established
there. The matter was referred to Sec
retary Wilson. who replied that the
service in the West Indies was doing
very well and that II additional sta
tions were found necessary he would
take the matter under consideration.

POSITION FOR GENERAL GARCIA
Cuban Leader VIII Try to secure Dlsband.
Ing of Inaurgents.

Ing of Inaurgents.
New York, Oct. "A dispatch to the
Herald from Santiago de Cuba says:
1t Is learned on good authority that
General CaliXto Garcia has accepted
position with the American adminis-
tration here, as was predicted.
General Garcia is to receive $500 a
month and all expenses. He will act as
a commissioner to go through the
country and conduct negotiations with
the Cuban army with view to Its dis
banding. He Will start in II few days
and will be gone on his trip three or
four weeks. He will be accompanied
by his son, Colonel Carlos Garcia, and
by II few Of his officers. On his return
he will go to the United States with
General Wood to confer with the ah-
thoritIes ut Washington.
General Gnrcia's appointment has
not been made public here. but when
1t Is 1t will give another cause for ut
tack to the extreme party of Cubans
who looked upon the appointment of
General Castillo In the light of the
United States buying UP patriots with
offices. This seems Il farcical position
to take after the first cry: NO Cubans
appointed In place OF Spaninrds."
In consequence OF serious disorders.
due to the insurgents In the vicinity OF
Manzanillo, General Lawton is dis
patching thither the steamer 1tcina de
Los Angeles with one battalion and
four companies from the Third I'M
munes under Colonel Ray.
General Wood had planned to sail
with General Castillo tomorrow on II
mission of organization to coast towns,
but now he will probably go with Col
onel Ray and the First battalion of im-
muncs. postponing his trip along the
coast. He will make an inquiry into
the charges against the Cubans and
endeavor to relieve the delicate situa-
tion ut ManZanillO.
The Cubans have plundered the
sugar estates and have committed such
depredutions that 1t became necessary
for the planters to appeal to General
Lawton for protection. Colonel Rays
instructions are TO deal with the offend
ers with the utmost severity, putting
down lawlcssness with n firm hand.
He has full power to act In sum-
mary manner and to order that the
death penalty be meted out for theft
or attempted violence.

Denver, Oct. 3.-The Republican this
morning says:
President Mckinley has definitely
decided not to extend his approaching
western trip beyond Omaha.
This decision was not rendered by
Mr.. Mckinley until yesterday.
The Republican IL enabled to give
the first authentic Information OF the
decision of the President that he will
not be able. Mt this time. to accept the
cordial invitations given him to visit
Denver through the following tele-
gram sent to this paper by Mr.. Nc
Kinley's private secretary, Mr.. j. a.
Porter:
.The limited time allowed to the
Presidents trip will preclude the pos
sibility of his extending 1t further
west than OMAHA"
The President will be In Omaha Oct.
12. The railroads running to that city
from Denver have made special rate
from this city to Omaha for the oe-
cnsion and many Denver and othcS
Colorado people will undoubtedly take
advantage OF the reduced railroad fare
and accept the opportunity to see the
exposition and the chief magistrate OF
the nation ut the same time ut n noni-
inal cost.

A SETBACK FOR AooNcILLo.
President Is Reported ss snubbinE lnsur'
gent Leader.

Washington, d. c., Oct. "A report
was current tonight that the Philip
pine agent Agoncillo, who recently ar
rived In this city, representing the In
surgent government. had been refused
recognition by the President.
1t was impossible, however. to OBJ
tain from any authoritative source in-
formation on the subject. AgOncillo
and his interpreter. Lopez. visited the
State Department to-day. where they
had an interview with Assistant Secrc-
tury Atlee. Previous to his visit to the
department Agoncillo. it Is learned.
had received from his government ut
Malolos the instructions which he had
been awaiting here for some time and
which came only after three separate
requests for them had been cabled to
the insurgents government.
Mr.. Lopez tonight. in speaking in be-
half of his chief, refused to make any
statement bearing on the report that
the insurgents We're not to have any
recognition before the Paris commits
sion, but would only go so far rs to
admit that the Instructions awaited by
AEoncillo had been received. The
agents arrangements. while yet incom-
plete. contemplate his departure for
New York during the present week.
Thence lie will go to Paris. but just
when. he refuses to say.
