WINE MADE FROM LEAVES.
Curious Results Obtained by a French
Druggist In His Exper-
inontA.

Wine growers are much interested in,
but somewhat dubious Of, story of q
new process of wine manufacture. 1t
seems that French druggist has con-
ceived the idea that the flavor Of the
fruit of shrubs and trees is generated
in the leaves Of these plants, and passes
from them into the fruits. The fra
GRANGE which the leaves of the black
currant bush give off, especially after
little rubbing, and which is so very
similar to the taste Of the berry, ap-
pears to favor this Wow. The French
man, however, goes further, and says
that the pleasant tasta of the apple, pear
or grape is prepared IN the leaves of the
respective plants, although it may be
noticeable in theee cases in less de-
gree than with the black eurrant. After
crushing the leaves he adds ferment-
ing agent such as yeast to them, where
upon the odorless and tasteless gly-.
ooside principle becomes free, which Is
to impart TO the fruit proper its aroma
and pleasant tasSa. What was former
ly sought to be accomplished with.
grapes and other fruits is now claimed
to be done in a superior manner with
the leaves OF the plants in fermenting
vat. Apple tree hsa~es, for instance, are
placed in water containing IS per cent.
of sugar, and yeast ts added. A she
process advances there Is al odor Of ap-
Piles, and when The fermentation is
finished and tba yeast has settled, a
straw yellow hqad Is obtained, which
possesses the fine bouquet" of the fruit
Of the respective tre<s from which the
leaves were taken. The public Is as
sured that with vine leaves the results
are still more prolific. A beverage tast-
ing and smelling strongly OF wine is OBJ
tanned, and finally brandy may be dis
titled from it which Is similar to the BEST
cognac."
Men Can o1tPun Animals.
For short distance lion or a tiger
can outrun man and can equal the
speed of fast horse, but the animals
lose their wind at the end of about half
mile. They have little endurance and
are remarkably weak in lung power.

NU MAP OF UNITED STATES.
Boys Ignorance of American
History.

'The school children of the Bermudas
know nothing of American history"
says New York woman who has Just
returned from Hamilton, according to
the Sun. "One day 1 stopped and
talked with q bright little colored boy
on the street. The Bermuda negro, you
know, is superior in intelligence to the
southern negro of this country. He
has neither the thick lips nor the fat
nose of our American negro. His su-
periority is accounted for by the fact
that he has in his veins the blood of
the Indians captured in King Philips
war and taken as slaves to the Ber-
mudas.
"'Do you go to school?' 1 asked the
boy.
"'Yes'em.'
"'Who owns these islands?' =. =.
"'England.'
"'Who rules England? 81.
"'Queen Victoria
"'Where are the United StatesY
"'South of Canada

schools ct Hamilton did not wonder
that Washington was the only Arneri-
can president the boy had heard Of
On the walls were maps of every i'm
portant country in the world but our
own, and l found that the teachers said
as little of the United States as they
could"

HELPLESS SPAIN.
Madrid at Last Sees the
Folly Of Continuing War.
,.
Inc Cabinet Now Said to Favor
Negotiations for Peace.
Hope Of Aid from Powers Abandoned -Forti.
Tying the Nome Ports.

Madrid, July 10.--Information re-
ceIved from the most reliable source
IS TO the effect that the darkest pessi-
nism pervades Madrid officials. The
helplessness of the war is finally
recognized and the peace idea now
seems to predominant in the cabinet.
Doubt is likely to cohere until peace
is secured.
1t is now recognized that Santiago
de Cuba is completely beleaguered
and cannot hold out owing to the lack
of provisions and munitions of war;
1t is considered certain that the
Americans will blockade Cuban and
Porto Rican ports, cutting off their
supplies while the authorities are con-
WINGED that an American fleet is COM
ing to the Peninsula
There is no confidence felt that the
powers will interfere even if defence
lss seaports are bombarded, and
possible are being adopted.
Marshal Martinez Campos, in the
tan, said it was impossible that nego-
tiatiens for peace should be entered
upon by the Spanish and American
governments, for the reason that the
time was not yet ripe. He had always
advocated reforms for Cuba, since 1869,
but not autonomy.
He fully recognized that autonomy
had not yielded the expected results,
partly in consequence of the land war.
and partly because it had been granted
too late. In 1859, he said, the late So
nor Canovas, when premier, had pro-
posed to him to introduce autonomy.
but he (Campos) declined to do so, con-
sidering the time unfavorable.
Gen. Campos denied ID remark attri-
buted to him that he was less con-
cerned at the loss of Admiral Cervera's
squadron than at the position of the
Queen Regent.
II believe he declared, that Spain
and the monarchy are intimately con-
nected; but l am first of all a Span
lard. My affection for the Queen Re-
gent is great. but my affection for my
country is greater"
The cabinet council, today, the min
listers declare did not touch the peace
question. On the contrary war was
the principal object of the govern
ments deliberations. The council was
occupied with a dispatch from Gen.
Blanco detailing his means of de-
fence in Cuba.

Washington. July 1o.--The bonn
bardmcnt Of Santiago has begun.
That was the verbal information OBJ
tanned. this evening. shortly before 8
o'clock at the War department.
Almost Immediately three bulletins
were posted. the most important of
which was from Gen. Shafter. This
dispatch announced that Gen. Torai,
who succeeded Gen. Linares in COM
nand of the Spanish forces in Santi-
ago when the latter was wounded,
had declined to surrender uncQnlji-
tionalIy ana that the bombardmcnt of
the town would be begun by the army
and navy about 4 o'clock this after
noon.
The fact that the bombardnent WAS
scheduled by Shaftcr to begin SO late
in the day caused some comment, but
no explanation was offered. In an
swcr to u question hearing up to this
point. Con. Corbin said:
u have not the slightest informa-
ton as to the reason Gen. Shafter had
for beginning the bombardnlent at the
hour he names but it was probably
because he was ready just at that
time. You can speculate about that
as well as | can
Information received by the war
department during the few days of
tho truce indicated that he had been
materially STRENGTHENING his position
during the past week, during The past
week he has received reinforccments
of both artillery and troops. Kan

Key West. last Tuesday ut midnight,
is now in position before Santiago,
and, as one of the war department
says. when those long toms Of Ran

Gen. Shafter has nearly 30 siege
guns ana large iuiiloei VI '-liiNH
mortars. besides light artillery at his
disposal. These guns taken in con-
nection with the work that <can be
done by the feet viii. it is believed,
carry terror and destruction to Santi-
ago.
Anxiety has been expressed by the
war department officials as to
whether Gen. Shafter had q sufficient
force to prevent the evacuation of
Santiago by the army. This anxiety
was alayed about 1890 tonight by the
receipt Of the following dispatch from
Gen. Shafter, which contained con-

ON TO PORTO RICO.
That City Next to Fall Be-
fore American Troops.
The Expedition to Sail Even Sooner
Than Was Expected.
A Strong Fleet and Formidable Army TO Do
the Business.

Washington. July 1O.-Today au-
thentic information has arrived
that the expedition to Porto Rico will
got off even earlier than has been ex-
pected. 1t is absolutely certain the
administration is counting upon the
almost immediate fall of Santiago, to
be followed at once by the going of
Gen. Miles to Porto Rico With the
later volunteer troops sent to Santi-
ago
The member Of the administration
who. today, gave this information
was asked if, Immediately after the
fail of Santiago, Gen. Shafter and the
greater part Of his army in cuba
would be left in Santiago. while Gen.
Miles, with the recent re-enforce-
ments ana some Of the regulars,
would 50 TO Porto R!co. lie replied
that he thought SO.
In a quiet way, the war department
for more Than week has been busy
getting together rush matter" on
Porto Rico for the information of the
generals and staff officers, VINO know
they are soon to so thither. Many
kilograms have come to the war de-
partnent i'll the last few days from
them asking for information about
Porto Rico ana information has been
whence the greater part Of the earlier
Porto Kican expedition viii sail.
These re-cnforcemcnts will include
the Sth Ohio, that went from New
York in the st. Paul, and the other
two regiments of Garrettson's bri-
aade, the 6th Illinois and the 9Th
Massachusetts.
Santiago will probably go direct to
Porto Rico. Gen. Miles viii so with
the others from Santiago Admiral
Sampson Will have in his squadron,
besides protected cruisers, the Iowa,
Texas, Indiana, Brooklyn and New
York. The Massachusetts had been
included, but this has been changed.
The feet of Admiral Sampson is ex-
pccted to blockade the island COM
pIctely, and make way for the landing
of the army, probably on the northern
side, west Of San Juan.
1t is thought that the Spanish army
in the province Of Santiago de Cuba
will have become so exhausted by the
time Of the fall Ct the city that peace
may be maintained by the volunteers
Gen. Miles will therefore put his main
dependence upon the regulars, to
whom. he said to me. belonged the |
greater part of the glory achieved by |
the army before Santiago. Gen. Miles !
considered the fighting there prac-
tically test of tire regular army, and !

volunteers in connection with the safe |
