Among other items which Bismarck dis
approved was the introduction of the irr!-

that their irksome provisions were opposed

HE HUNTED THE EGRET
Charles Mohrmann's Experiences In
South America


Nearly six feet high, very dark from the
burning of tropical sun, but sinewy and
strong in appearance, was Charles H.
Mohrmann few days ago as he related his
story Of the hunting Of the egret In South
America. At first glance he would be TAX
en- for an Officer in the Spanish or Cuban
army who had been exposed to the ele-
ments in a campaign. He started In his
present career from the feather and hat
district Of New York city in an endeavor
to reach the source of supply of this most
valuable millinery decorative finery. In
his quest he hunted through Mexico and
Central America, only to find that the
game was pretty much hunted out in those
countries. and travelled on into Venezuela
before he found the birds In rookeries, for
1t is In "a gathering of this kind only that
they can be shot with profit. These rock
cries may be sought for years without sue
cess.
The egret is shy bird. Their rooker1es
are in places not easy Of access, but may
be approached In small launch The birds
roost in high trees standing in water. The
hunter approaches cautiously, anchors
under the trees and then shoots from day.
light until dark. A fowling piece is the
weapon used. The birds fall near the canoe
and are picked up by the hunter. Dogs are
not used, because the alligators are very
fond of dogs. These rookeries contain
from 10000 to 1000 birds, about Is per cent
Of which may be taken. Only the old birds
are shot, and then not until the young ones
are able to take care of themselves, which
Is when they are about six weeks old. There
are big rookeries on Aprene a tributary Of
the Orinoco. A privilege costs about $1,000
and 50 per cent of the proceeds. Each
bird is worth SIPS. The feathers for which
they are hunted grow on the back and
hang down over a short, stubby tail. About
5000 ounces were shipped from the Aprene
region to New York last year. This would
approximate about 100000 birds. The
amounts shipped to Paris and London are
larger, but the figures are not obtainable

CUBANS WIN A FIGHT.

Gomez and Three Thousand Men Defeat
Four Thousand spaniards.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Cuban
junta in this city has been advised of
the successful attempt of General
Gomez with 5000 men, to force the
trocha between Las Villas and CANA.
guey, to make his headquarters with
the officers Of the government Of the
Cuban republic in Camaguey. The
trocha at this point was guarded by
1000 Spaniards under General Jiminez
Castellanos, and never had been broken
before. General Gomez himself led his
soldiers as they made the attack on the
trocha and blockhouses early in the
morning.
The principal blockhouses were not
heavily garrisoned and were quickly
stormed and taken. The Spanish sol.
diers fell back of the trocha line and
there made stubborn resistance.
In the afternoon, however. their main
body gave way before q machete
charge Of the Cubans and the entire
Cuban force passed over the dividing
line and marched without further in.
terruption into Camaguey. More than
800 Spaniards were killed in the battle,
and about 130 Cubans lost their lives.

Still Possible, of Course, That

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The pre-.

the confirmation of peace advanced
long step when the secretary of state
and the French ambassador agreed
upon the terms upon which future
negotiations for treaty are to be con.
Quoted and reduced these to the form
of protocol. This protocol, it is true,
has yet to be signed and is to be sub

ing to involve the French ambassador
in the difficulties that would follow
what to the world would seem to be
repudiation Of his benevolent efforts in
behalf of Spain.
There must be a delay possibly from
"a to 48 hours-before the next step
can be taken and the protocol made
binding upon both the United States
and Spain by the attachment Of the
signatures Of the plenipotentiar les
Secretary Day for the United States
and M. Cambon for Spain. The delay
will be largely attributable to physical
causes. The protocol is long; it must

no less than five times before it reaches
Madrid through the French foreign
Office. AS to the character Of the pro-
tocol it is stated on authority that the
terms are in all practical points those
set out in the abstract of the presi.
dents conditions published from the
White House week ago. From this
fact it is deduced that the extra condi-
tions or qualifications sought to be i'm.
posed by the Spanish government were
abandoned, at least in large part, by
the French ambassador. 1t is believed
that the protocol carries within itself
provision for the cessation of hostili.
ties. The American peace commission,
1t is said, will be headed by Secretary
Day, but the other members have not
been decided upon as yet.
