is to adjust long-standing and recent diff
| ferences between this country and Canada
and held its first sessions in Quebec has
arrived in Washington and resumed its
| work. 1t consists of ex-Lord Chancellor
Herschel on the part of Great Britain, and

tor Chas. r. Faulkner, of West Virginia; !;

The principal topics are fixed by pro-
tocol, and comprise: Bearing Sea seal
fisheries, Atlantic and Pacific coast fish
cries, Alaska Canadian boundary, trans
portation of merchandise in bond across
the border, alien labor laws of the United
States and Canada, mining rights in the
Klondike and other points, reciprocity and
tariff ARRANGEMENTS, naval vessels on the
great lakes, new marking Of the frontier
line by land and water, extradition OF

the foregoing cover all the main topics.
Besides these actual topics OF discus
sion, considerable significance has been
attached to the work of the Commission

sentiments recently developed between
Great Britain and the United States. This
was given marked prominence during the
sessions of the Commission at Quebec.

Happenings in Our Possessions Beyond tile

CUBA
There is threatened trouble in Habana
over the failure to pay the volunteers the
long arrears due them. At the head OF
the volunteers is Gen. NIasso Parro. who
formerly commanded a Cuban brigade
then deserted to the Spanish and organ
lied brigade of volunteers. About a
month ago these rose in active rebellion
against the SpaniardS, intrenched them
selves near Habana, and refused to dis
band or give up their arms until they
were paid. An arrangement was made
with them by which they got a portion
their pay. and they disbanded. Now they
want the rest of their money-some
100000, and the situation has been so
serious that Blanco has put the city
again in state of siege. The Firemen's
Battalion are also clamorous for their
three years pay, amounting to 81, 700 900.
1t is also, claimed that the higher officers
have regularly mullcted the municipal
employees of from 80 to 40 per cent. of their
salaries.
The condition of things in the city is
very bad, robberies, murders, burglaries,
etc, are of constant occurrence, and the
authorities seem powerleSs to give pro-
lection. .~.s.,a
During a visit to Guantanamo Gen
Wood told the people:
You CubanS are now on trial before
the world, and you must show what you
are able to do in the matter of Self-gov-
ernment. The Americans would be
pleased to give stable Government to
Cuba in the course of 12-month. Let us

Gen. Merritt on the Filipinos.

IN Speaking Of the complaining letter OF
the so-called Junta of the Filipinos, Gen.
Merritt says that they are children, +" who
know nothing about self-Government nor
what they really want. The only thing
for them is colonial Government similar
TO that established by Great Britain in
many counties. He says that he did not
way, nor receive any help from them
Aguinaldo did not call on him until 10
days after his arrival, when Gen. Merritt
would not see him. Aguinaldo and his
troops were kept out OF the operations
against Manila for fear that they would
loot and plumber. Aguinaldo wrote TO
Gen. Merritt complaining that the iisur-
gents had been kept out Of their share Of
the booty" whatever thai might mean.

that possibly q reduction of Sis, 600 900 or
$50, $50, 900 may be made in this amount.
He finds that the monetary condition is
50 bad that it is actually hopeful. The
people have had so 4many different kinds
Of "a debased currency that business has

He recommends the establishment of the
United States monetary system with the
shipment of about SO eco 600 in American
silver dollars 10 the island, for the use of
the people in their everyday transactions,
For larger business American gold and
bank notes will speedily drive out the

Mr.. Porter recommends the immediate
abolition of a number of annoying taxes
such as the consumption tax" and the
"cedula," or head tax. The "consump-
ton tax is mainly levied on the killing
Of cattle and the preparation of other
articles of food, and greatly increases the
living expenses of the common people
The "cedula' is an aggravation. 1t varies
from few cents TO St00 according to the
rank and Importance OF the individual

| fortunate. 1t may be that he wants to
marry off his daughter, bury relative, OF

nothing, however, till he has satisfied a

He recommends the immediate abOli-
| ton Of lotteries OF all kinds.
| Nothing can be done in the way Of de
| velopment of industries until the yellow
| fever is eliminated by the cleaning up
| and perfect sanitation of the pest-holes OF

| for the protection of our own Southern
coast as well as Cuba.
| He recommends the construction of a

island to the other, with branches ex-
| tending to the principal cities.
| Public education requires much atten-
ton. But one in 40 of the laboring classes

Osborn Deignan, Of Merrimac Fame, in
Osculatory Action.

sOAJ <hSsAobs
Boatswain's-NIate Osborn Deignan, OF
the Collier Merrimac, which was sunk at
Santiago by Lieut.. Hobson and his brave
crew, returned to his native town of Stuart,
Iowa, the other day and met with re-
ception the like of which he never
dreamed. Forcibly Rugged and kissed by
so pretty girls, his hands squeezed and
his bearded chin tickled, was his astonish-
ing experience.
Deignan had steered the ship that was
to blockade the Harbor of Santiago, and
stood at his post while the bullets flew
around him like hail He found himself a
hero and it is said that he was kissed 415
times. Deignan had an intimation of what
he was to encounter few moments before
he reached the point where the bonneted
and beribboned fotilla was in waiting, and
under full speed he made a dash for the
railroad station, but was not fairly under
way before he ran across the bows of the
sauciest craft of the feet. He put of 10
starboard. but the Matilda, the flagship of
the enemy, instantly signaled the Blanche,
the Lucy and all the Marys, and they exc
cutedthe curve of pursuit with such skill
and speed that he was surrounded
The Matilda began the bombardment,
striking him four times in four minutes.
Then the Lucy opened fire with a May
The Marys ran alongside his port quarter,
firing heavy vOlleyS at close range.
Blinded, confused and unable to locate
the enemy, Deignan made no effort 10 re-
turn the fire. Before he could realize it
he was at close quarters. and boarders
were swarming all over him.
One of the MaryS, which he had not be-
fore observed, bore down on him at ter
rifle speed, her yard-arms cxtended-for
she was of the old style, with sharp PROV
and high freebOard at the waist-with the
evident intention Of carrying away his
upper works.
In utter desperation .he sheered off to
port, where he thought he saw an open
lane. The old Mary OWNED his intent.
She wore ship the moment he changed his
course, and, with her yard-arms waving
in the wind, headed straight for his bows.
Deignan saw it was all up then. The
sharp nose of the Mary crashed into his
port-quarters and at the same moment
Bernhardt projectile exploded just beneath
his eyes. Then the firing became general
and he was struck SO ten that he lost all
count. There was nothing to do but to
acknowledge that he was beaten, and he
surrendered to the flagship that had fired
on him first.
Three thousand persons had gathered
to meet him, and after the action band
OF music escorted Diegnan through the
village streets to the home of his mother.
In the Opera House there was a demon
stration in his honor Speeches Were
made by prominent citizens, and costly
sword was presented to the B0s' n 's-Mate.

Due to Civil Service.

A. II. Johnson, Louisville, KY, says thai
the defeat of Congressman Evans was di-
rectly due TO Civil Service. There are
from 500 TO 1000 men employed in improv-
ing the falls and canal there, and many
comrades and sons of veterans who wa nj
the employment. But when they ap-
preached Mr.. Evans he would say that all
the places Were covered by Civil Service.
So they stayed away from the polls, and
he was defeated by from 500 to 600 votes.

most accomplished of the officers Of the old
Regular Army, and one of the most unpop-

but of a family which had been settled
in the country since before the Revolu-
ton. His grandfathers on both sides were
among the very earliest settlers in Ohio.
