The most rerplexirg question of the

is the disposition CT the Philippine is

CT AguinalGo and his bands Of inSur-

for any trlckery On the part Of Agiin-
aldo and have been keeping a close
watch upon him, in consequence CT

Ills forces are now at the very doors
of Manila and daily and nightly the
roar of field artillery and magazine

RABBIT FARMS.

Reference was made recently in the development department of the Los Angeles Times to a new industry that has been established in San Diego by Dr. H. P. Woodward, in the shape of a rabbit farm, the rabbits being all i'm ported varieties, little known here, fn- cluding white French angoras, black St. Huberts and Himalays. It is said that the belts of St. Huberts and Hima- lavas are worth from $4 to s5 each in the east. Dr. Woodward writes to the Times as follows in regard to these rabbits:
 "I find them hardy, prolific, free from disease, as good to eat as chicken, easily taken care of and profitable. They thrive finely on alfalfa.
 Rabbits are noted for the rapidity with which they increase and multi ply" Their feed is inexpensive, and

CT otherwise disposing of the timber
 In either of these ways this land has
 always been valued at $2.50 per acre and has been readily sold for that for tic timber alone. The estimated value
 of the timber on the above tract ap- piled for is $l,SS0 or little over $1 per acre. Under these new regulations, be- fore the timber can be sold, or before
 permission can be given to cut the
 same, the application has to be for warded to the commissioner of the gen.
 eral land office who designates some
 official to carefully examine and ap- praise the timber and other questions involved. If his report is favorable,
 the sale vii be duly advertised, when
 bids will be received at time and place designated in the printed notice. If the timber is sold payment must be made for it and all the timber cut and removed within one year. Failure to complete the cutting of the timber for feits all remaining on the land at the expiration of the year, as well as the forfeit of the purchase money.
 The above application is the first enc received at the Prescott land office, under these new regulations. The
 amount of timber on the land, as esti-
 mated by the applicants, is 4,SS0,000 feet, the estimated value, as it stands in the forest, being $1 per thousand.-.

CHA BEND NOTES.

Gila Bend, Ariz., June 21.-(Speci1 Correspondence of The Republican.)- The people of this section of country are anxiously awaiting the final re- suit of the big canal matter. It will be a gala day for the Bend when the courts get through with it and capital can take hold and build up this great valley now dependent upon nothing, living on nothing and rapidly becom- ing nothing.
 The fact that our popular station agent, O. L. Pease, is still with us is cause for congratulation, but we fear the governors authority. to come will take him off to the wars. The fact that he sent his name in for en- listment to Captain Crenshaw wGs great surprise to everybody nere. Not that his bravery or patriotism is ques-- ticned, but because of his home ties and interests. Still it is hard to keep good man back when the country calls, and Pease is one of the good men of this world.
 Referring to the copper farm in the I kjo district, MT. McComb, the pro moter, is expected back soon from Cal ifornia with members of the syndicate contemplating purchase. They will start out from here, visit the property and if it is what they believe it to be, there will be a lively camp down there
 within a short space of time. Of course this will mean favorable times for this town.

PATRIOTIC PLAYING CARDS.
Woman's Novel "War Party" With
 Spanish 4s'' as the Feature.

That greatest of social triumphs, an entirely new form Of amusement for a feminine gathering. was achieved by young woman of this town who gave luncheon and card party to a dozen of her girl friends today; and the ideas back of the entertainment were so clever and unique that they merit more than passing notice.
 The young women were invited to at tend a session of an "Amercian Board of Strategy to be held on .Sagasta's bluff," to discuss Spanish 4s." They found on arrival three card tables. arranged for four players apiece. On each table was a pack of cards of the usual size, but having. instead of the or dinary spots, the American, Cuban, Red Cross and Spanish flags in suits. The game played, which the young hostess called Spanish 4s'' was really the old game of hearts, with the Spanish flag cards to represent the ordinary heart cards-probably because the Spanish are heartless-the object, as in hearts, being to get rid of the Spanish cards.
 For face cards for the various suits, pen and ink sketches were made. Uncle Sam, Columbia and John Bull being the American king, queen and jack respect lively, Red Cross soldier, Miss Barton and doctor, the Red Cross; Gomez, Miss Cuba and Weyler, the Cuban, and AL phonso, the queen regent and Sagasta, the Spanish cards The tally cards bore
 
 ed. The prizes were an Uncle Sam can- dlestick and an American flag stick pin Torpedoes were used to signal the close of each game.
 The decorations of the rooms and the table and the young woman's costume carried out the patriotic idea, and alto gether the function was as novel as it was enjoyable.
 These patriotic card parties have all ready an assured popularity. The first one was held at Monticello seminary week or so ago. American Beauty roses and the American flag were the chief decorations at a dinner given the middle seniors by the seniors and in return for this compliment the members of the middle ser.ior class conceived and carried out a war party the principal amuse- ment of which was a game of hearts played with the new kind of cards. such as have been described. The young wo- man who succeeded in getting rid of her Spanish flags the oftenest was rewarded with sixteen American Beauty roses and to add to the war spirit of the game. the tally cards were decorated with the American and Cuban flags intertwined, while on each counter was an American f1ag.-Kansas City Star.
