OUR DEMANDS ON SPAIN

Washington. Nov. 1j.-It is realized
In official circles that before the end
of the present week the peace negO.
tiatiOns in Paris will have reached a
point where Spain will be compelled to
acquiesce in the American propositions
regarding the control and ownership
of the Philippines or take the consc.
Quences of refusal. While no ultima.

From the beginning of the present
stage of the peace negotiations the
American Commissioners have en-
dcavored to avoid harsh measures in
bringing their Spanish opponents to
n realization that this Government is
thoroughly in earnest in its expressed
intention to retain all the islands. and
that the tact that the Americans have
permitted themselves to be drawn in

the primary demand should not be
construed INTO an understanding that
a discussion OF the cession OF the Phil
1pplnes is 4.Nely to lead to any COM

Jung Lu, the new viceroy of Chin

the reputation Of being the best

gilded youth among the Manchu no.

by "Jung LUIS style" His horses
and mules also have ever been the
finest IN Pek;ng, not even excepting
the emperor's stud, and he loves to

several picked horses sent as tribute
to the emperor from Kuldja and Mon

APiano's Hard Journey.

Ex-Governor Alexander r. Shepherd
is twelve-millionaire, resident of
Batopilas, Mexico, and several years
ago he went to wonderful lot of
trouble to procure piano for the
musical education of his family.
Batopilas is mining town in the
innermost recesses OF the Sierra
Madre mountains, and principal mines
are owned and opera ed by Mr.. Shop
haad. The piano was shipped from
New York to Chihuahua in boxes,
where the different pieces were placed
on the backs of burros and carried to
Batopilas, over the rough mountains, o
distance Of $50 miles. The house
from whom the piano was purchased
sent an expert along to set mp the in
strument again when Batopilas was
reached. 1t is said that this piano
cost Governor Shepherd over $4,000
before it was finally installed in his
house.

Complexion Of spanish Women.

You find in many parts of Spain
blue-eyed and fair-haired women, and
we have in Mexico specimens of these
hereditary daughters of the invading
Cloths, who have brought down to our
times, in their eyes, the memory of
blue summer seas beneath shorelands
icebound in the long winters. And
the fair hair is common, too, and
somehow one never gets over the feel
ing, in listening to the soft Spanish
coming from the lips of blue-eyed
and light-haired woman, that she has,
perhaps, learned it as foreigner in
her early youth. But no; she is as
much Spaniard as the women whose
eyes reveal the descent from the Moor
or the Carthaginian, or as she who
has the strong profile of the Roman
conquerer.
A fair woman is called in Spanish
'una guerra" pronounced ''oonah
gwayrah," or else ''una rubia." Both
terms are common. Among a race
where the dark skin prevails, to be
fair is a mark of beauty, and one often
hears people speaking Of some lady
in terms Of praise as '.la guerra" To
call baby ''fair" is to capture the
heart OF the mother. A fair complex
toned man is 'un guero," "oon gway-
rob. "-Correspondence in New York

Anthracite and Bitu,ninous Coal.

Professor Ihlseng Of the State col
lege, Pennsylvania, gives an interest
ing explanation Of the difference be-
tween anthracite and bituminous coal,
so far as the gases are concerned, his
opinion being based on the supposi-
tion of all coal beds having been orig
inally formed on horizontal or fat
bed. The anthracite beds, he assumes,
were placed Under enormous pres
sure, or side pressure, by the contrac-
ton Of the earth's crust during the
cooling stage, thus forming tho coal
basins as now seen at the foot Of the
mountains; such an enormous pres
sure resulted in forcing the explosive
and other gases out Of the anthracite
beds to the seams and crevices OF the
veins and to the assures, seams and
pores of the rock strata. This COM
preston has been so great that gases
in the anthracite region are sometimes
found with the mighty pressure Of
1900 pounds to the square inch. On
the other hand, the bituminous beds
have not been subjected to such dis
turbance and pressure, and the coal,
therefore, retains the gases which it
contained originally. White damp,
Professor Ihlseng shows, is produced
by imperfect combustion, while black
damp is produced by perfect combus-
ton and destroys life by being devoid
of sustaining elements. New York

Only q Limited Number OF British .PrI-

The question OF permission to marry
is burning one in the barrack room.
Only limited number of men are al
lowed to marry, the strength of the
roll varying with the establishment Of
the corps; sergeants are given permits
sion to marry as matter of course, IL
there Ia q vacancy in the establish

badges. I have heard it said that
there IL such thing as borrowing the
| S26 till the necessary permission has
been obtained, but there Is no getting
over the other two conditions. The
married quarters seem comfortable
enough; what strikes us most is the
enormous number OF babies and quite
young children who swarm round the
door Of every quarter, occasional yells
leading to the hasty arrival OF a flushed
and heated-looking matron to restore
order in a summary fashion. The al
lowance of space does not strike one
as particularly liberal, soldiers with
small families being given only one
room with the mihutest possible
scullery, the fathers OF larger families
rejoicing in an extra room. Sergeants,
as rule, have two rooms, but other
wise have no pull over their comrades
of lower rank. The wives of the
private soldiers add largely to the
scanty pay of their husbands by doing
washing for the men of their hus-
bands company, and twice blessed is
the woman whose good man belongs
to a company having few married SOL
diers. In this case she will be able
to get more to do than her less fortu-
nate sisters. Some of the women who
have reputation as washer-women
earn plenty Of money by washing for
the officers of the regiment. The SOL
dier's wife seems to drift naturally
into being washer-woman. A little
conversation with the ladies is lib.
eral education in esprit de corps; each
woman thoroughly identifies herself
with the regiment to which her hus-
band belongs; and even in these days
of short service it is not difficult to
find women whose fathers and grand
fathers have soldiered in bygone days
under the tattered colors now hang
ing in the sacred precints of tho Off
GERS mess. The ladies Of the regi-
ment, as a rule, take great interest in
the welfare of their humber sisters,

It did not take him long to remove
some OF the fallen coal and extricate
Morgan.
And then for FIVE dreary days they
remained prisoners in the darkness.
David's lamp did not remain alight
for long, not even long enough for
them to explore their surroundings.
1t would be impossible to describe
their aufferings, more especially those
of Morgan. He was frantic at times,
and ii was oil that David could do to
prevent him from dashing out his
brains against the jagged rocks Of
coal.

was 30 faint that lie could hardly
move. Dayid's strength, meanwhile,
had KEEP. mp wonderfully, and lie did
ali he could to cheer Morgan. The

"Milly? Poor Millyl I am afraid
we shall never see her again, sobbed
David, breaking down for the first
time.
He was holding Morgan's hand. He
felt q great shudder pass through his
friends body.
"Stoop," said Morgan, "stoop as
near as you can. Icannot die without
telling YOU"
Inspasmodictones, with long pauses,
constantly interrupted with exclama.
tions of horror from David, Morgan
told how he had inveigled Milly into
the old pit and had imprisoned her so
that she could not possibly escape and
left her only food enough for one day.
1t was terrible story to hear in
that dark vault, without CLEAN of
light OF clear hope of escape. David
seemed to forget that he had been for
five days without food. A great surg
ing tide of indignation rolled like lava
through his veins rs he thought of
Milly, his own darling Milly, to whom
he was so soon to be married.
The story was hardly finished when,
with shout as savage as that Of
wild beast deprived of its mate, he
sprang up and seized the dying man.
He lifted him in his arms with the in
tention of dashing him down again.
1t was moment of uncomfortable
passion, reused by the thought of
Milly's lingering death. David held
Morgan for few seconds and pre-
pared to fling him against the sharp
rocks of coal.
Suddenly CLEAN of light appeared
in far corner. Milly herself entered
the cave. David became powerless
and dropped Morgan at his feet.
Milly had not been long in her
prison when she escaped. She had
heard of the explosion and since then,
by day and by night, for many hours
at time. she had travelled through
oil the old mines searching for pas
sage to the exploded one. She was
just in time to save her lover from
the crime Of murder. Morgan. how
ever, did not live many hours longer.
