MOSQUITO COMMISSIONERS.

The following from the Venezuelan

The Mexican Central Railway COM
Pany is engaged in a new experiment.,
"7hich, if it is all that is claimed for it,
will be of inestimable value to the res
dents Of this city. To show how ear
lest they are in the matter, they have
created n new oflice-that Of MOSQUITO
commissioner, and the portfolio was
awarded to Capt. George c. Sperry, So
perintendent Of telegraphs for the
company.
Experiments in different parts of
the United States, and in New jersey
in particular, have demonstrated the
fact that the determination of the mos
quito can be successfully accom-
p!ished"
An exchange. in discussing the mat
ter, says:
"Scientific investigation has disclosed
lie fact that few grains of perman-
Fanate of potash will destroy all the

acre all the mosquit oeS can be killed off

will assure protection for the entire

biIity of state. and certainly city.
to entirely rid itself of great nuts

April and May arc the two months in
which the mosquito breeds. They are

Coughs of nm Engine.

The cough, or puff, of railway en-
CINE is due to the abrupt emission of
waste steam up the chimney. When
moving slowly the coughs can, of
course, be heard following each other
quite distinctly, but when speed is put
on the puffs come out one after the
other much more rapidly, and when IL
coughs a second are produced they
cannot be separately distinguished by
the ear. A locomotive running al the
rate of nearly 20 miles an hour give
out 20 puffs OF steam every second

publican senators who voted in
opposition to their party on the

seek an opportunity next week TO

doing so, they will seek to have the
further consideration of the Hawaiian

to put them in a false position, and that
they owe it to themselves to have their

it is even intimated that they would

to emphasize their a2tagOnism to Sec

the leaders of this coterie said today:

out the situation has never been so
alarming as sensationalists attempted
to paint it.
Turning to West Africa, an official
of the colonial Office informs the AS
sociated Press that the impossibiity of
securing witnesses from the west coast
earlier is the reason for the delay in
the Paris negotiations. Some of the
most important witnesses arrived only
last week, and they are now in Paris.

REED One Promised Thai Will

RULE
THE DEBATE LIMITED TO A SINGLE DAY
When the House Meets The Whole Pro-
gramme Will Be Cut and Dried.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The deter
minatton was reached by the leaders
in the house Of Representatives today
that the Teller resolution for the pay
ment of bonds in silver, passed by the
senate last night, should be disposed
Of by the house on Monday, in order
that the attitude of that branch Of
congress might be placed before the
country Immediately.
This conclusion was reached after
numerous conferences between Speaker
Reed, Chairman Dingley, of the ways
and means committee; Messrs DaIzell
and Henderson, of the rules committee.
and other influential members of the
house.
Late in the day the resolution, which
had come over from the senate, was
referred by the speaker 20 the ways
and means committee, and Chairman
Dingley at once gave notice of a spe-
cial meeting of the committee at 1890
Monday morning. At the same time
he notified the Democratic members of
the committee what his general pur-
pose was, substantially as follows:
The resolution will be considered by
the committee Monday and an adverse
report made on it. No amendment or
change in the phraseoIogy will be
made, but the adverse report will be
on the resolution as 1t stands This
will be submitted to the house when it
convenes on Monday, and plans made
to dispose of the matter before the
days session closes. Ae to the pro-
cedure on the floor, Mr.. Dingley made
no prediction, beyond saying that it
was proposed to dispose of the sub
ject on Monday. This~wiH doubtless
require a special rule as to the debate
The Saint Paul globe., 1898-01-30

A basis for such a rule was presented
today by Mr.. DalzeIl, a member of the
rules committee, in the form of a reso-
luton providing that the matter be
considered Immediately after the re-
port of the ways and means commit
tee. The committee will probably be
ready to report by II o'clock, so that,
under the Dalzell resolution, the de-
bate would be shortly after noon It
is probable that before the house as
sembles the Dalzell resolution will be
so shaped as to fix the hours of de-
bate and set a time for a vote.
The determination to bring the sub
ject to an immediate issue gave gen.
eral satisfaction among the majority
members. Some of them had desired
to put aside all other business today
and vote down the Teller resolution be-
fore this week closed. Representative

ARANGUREN KILLED In COLD BLOOD.
lnsurgent Version of the Death of the
Youthful Cuban General.

HAVANA, Jan. 29.-(Via Key WesD
The following details of the death of
Gen. Nestor Aranguren, who was kill
ed on Thursday last, have been receiy-
ed: It appears that the column under
Col. Aranjare, who had been operat-
ing in the neighborhood OF Campo
Florido, captured negro named
Morales, whom they tortured in order
to extort from him information re-
gardtng the insurgents. For a long
time the prisoner bore the torture and
refused to make a statement, but final
ly, upon being promised a reward Of
$500, he agreed to betray Aranguren.
Gen Aranguren, the negro sad, was
in the habit Of visiting the House of
a pacif1co called CajagaL who lived In
the Tapeste heights, between the town
Of Tapeste and Campo Florido, with
his family, which consisted of his wife,
a grown daughter, of whem Gen. Aran-
guren was enam0red and several
younger children. Col Aranjare, with
three columns, led by himself and Lieu
tenant Colonies ,Arece and Benedicto,
the entire force numbering about q
thousand, infantry and cavalry, pro-
ceeded under the guidance of the ne
gro Morales to the hat, which they
surrounded.
1t was the intention OF Col Aranjare,
after assuring himself that all of those
whom he wished to secure were in the
hut, to fall upon the building and
capture the inmates alive, but Lieut.
Col. Benedicto, who was formerly sec
ond IN command to Maj FonsdevieIa.
advised that the inmates be killed and
this was finally decided upon. When
the hut had been completely surround
ed, a squad Of men was ordered to
advance cautiously, which the men
did, arriving near the. entrance before
being seen. A child about eight years
Of age was playing outside the door
way of the building, and she discover
ed the soldiers. Screaming in alarm,
she ran toward the hut to inform the
inmates of the presence of the Span
iards- volley from the squad
stretched her lifeless on the ground,
and then a general firing was ordered
by the Spanish commander, which re-
suited in the wounding of Aranguren
in the leg, killing his servant Fernan-
dez and mortaIyy wounIding his sweet
heart and another woman Arangur-
ems sweetheart died from the effects
of her wounds while being taken 20
Campo Florido.
Aranguren was in bed when the
Spariards arrived and. hearing the
alarm given by the child ran out of the
