GOVERNMENT OF CUBA.
Administration Has Not ct Definite
ly Determined What Its Form.
Shall Be.

Washington, Nov 1.-The govern
ment of Cuba has, given the admins
tration much concern and it's form is
not yet definitely determined upon
Since issuing the order designating the
troops to 60 to Cuba there has been
considerable talk at the war depart
ment about the probable commander
OF troops in Cuba and the organization
OF government, civil and military
The probabilities now are that Cuba
will be designated as one department
and placed under the command of one
officer. The general impression seems
to be that the officer will be Maj. Gen.
Wade, now chairman of the Cuban mil
itary commission, whose duties as a
member of this commission has fitted
him for the office. The president and
Secretary Alger have great confidence
in Gen. Wade and believe he combines
the military and civil qualities neces-
sary for the supreme command in Cuba
when our occupation is complete.

A number of rumors as to the real OBJ
ijects of Emperor Williams visit to Con
stantinople and the Holy Land have
been in circulation ever since the int en-
ton of his najesty to visit the orient
was announced, about year ago.
These alleged purposes included i'm
.portant railroad concessions to. Ger
many, the ceding of territory in Syria
to Germany for colonizing purposes,
the ceding OF, the Port of Hafa, in Pal
,estine, the ceding of the Island of
Rhodes to Germany, and the granting
to Germany of the right to plant large
German colony along the whole frontier
at Tripoli. This last agreement, it was
added, was intended to protect the sui
tan against French encroachments
across the Tripoli-Tunis frontier and
would also avoid granting Germany a
concession in Asia Minor, which, it is
added, would induce Russia to demand
compensation. &Et5&35 q: 4
On the other hand, it has been an
nounced that some of the powers have
notified Turkey that she will not be
permitted to cede any territory to Ger
many; and Russia, twas announced
from Berlin on Saturday last, was ar
irving at an understanding with Aus
tria and France to provide against the
accomplishment of certain German
plans in the orient.

WASP AS. AN ENGINEER.
An Exhibition of Insect. ClevernesS
~, That Won Praise from Sur
81 =. m veying Corps.

{ Several members of the United
States engineer corps were interested
with esses of a feat of insect engineer
ing near the road on which they were
working. One of their number found
a blue ground wasp dragging along
the ground aldeadi swamp spiderone-
quarter the size of d full-grown taran-
tula. Whether the wasp killed the
spider or foundit dead is question be-
You'd solution. He was having hard
, time dragging his prey along, and pres
entity left it to go prospecting for his
abode. The discoverer of the wasp
called his companions, and one of them
in coming stepped upon the wasp's
groundhole, crushing down some
blades of dry grass across it. This
caused no little trouble to the insect,
who, upon locating the hole, nipped
away at the obstructing stalks with
his strong mandibles unit. he had
cleared a passage. Then he went back
and, sizedup the spider, walking around
the big body and surveying it from all
sides. -.. -,. 10. '...'.,- ~
| "He's reckoning that the hole isn't
big enough" said one of the engineers.
''That's all right; he'll fix it," said
another, as the insect went back and
commenced vigorously widening the
entrance to his domicile.
Again he returned to the spider,
seized it and dragged it within a foot
of the orifce. To the spectators it was
evident that more work would have to
be done before the spider could be
dragged in. This struck the wasp, too,
for again he ran around the body, ex-
aiming it carefully, and returned to
the hole to take measurements. He
went to digging a second time. Hav-
ing dug for two minutes he brought
his prey to the edge of the hole, nipped
out piece of dirt here, cut away
grass stem there, and after Is minutes
of hard and skillful labor disappeared
underground, dragging the spider
after him, doubtless to form the
piece de resistance in winter store
house. The engineers then resumed
their work, exchanging comments
of admiration.-Ch Chicago Inter Ocean.
Why 1t Was So Long Between Boats.
'When's the next boat?' asked the
intending passenger at Fort Hamilton,
with reference to the ferry from that
point to Staten Island, and the an
swer was: ..
Next spring"
It seemed a long time between boats,
but when the man had climbed the hill
again from the landing to the road he
saw there sign which he had, some
how missed going down, announcing
that the running of the ferry had now
been suspended until early spring.

Electricity In India.

The world moves in India, as else
where. Who. would suppose that cleo
,tricity would be used by native Hin
docs in elephant catching? At re-
cent capture of 40 of these animals,
when the last of their unwieldy bod
les had passed the entrance into the
stockade, the signal for barring the
exit was given, instantaneously and
without spoken word, by means Of
an electric wire. It is only short
time since petroleum superseded ma
tive vegetable oils, for lighting through
out the bazars and villages of India.
Electricity is now taking the place
of both petroleum and coal gas in the
great cotton factories, and before
long the Hind COS will have 1t in their
houses Golden Days.
