Will Keep Order

"AA A0Sp VIudr
| SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept. Gar
rangements have been completed for the
formation Of a force Of Cuban mounted DO.
lice for the province of Santiago. 1t con-
| sists Of commandant, with the rank OF
major, three captains, six lfeutenants, ten
sergeants and 240 enlisted men The rates
of pay for the enlisted men are the same
as In the United States army, while the
officers get two-thiris.
| General Castillo has charge of the pre-.
liminaries of the appointments. He must
select capable men who have served in the
Cuban army, and. the officers must have
held rank in the Cuban army.
| This police force will have large terri
tory to cover. and 1t is expected that as
soon as the Cuban troops disband the
lawless element will break loose and will
have to be kept In check. Even at pres
ent, quantities of cattle are stolen and
complaints are frequent to General Wood
and General Castillo, sand they are de-
termined to put an end to this state OF
affairs.
| The Cubans are beginning to understand
that the sudden change they wanted after
the surrender would have caused disorde;
and confusion. while now every day q
number of Cubans are appointed to posi-.
tions of power and emolument.
The United States collector Of customs

measure of justifiable indemnifcation.

the United States during the contest.

the tatlk about the Cuban insurgents
| lacking only arms and ammunition to
be able to dispose of the Spanish army
| on land it turns out that the United
| States will have all the fighting to do
both by land and sea. Those who were
clamoring for the immediate recogni-
ton of the independence of the Cubans
have ceased to vex the public ear with
| their noise. 1t seems that there is not
only no insurgent Government to be
recognized, but that there is no or
| ganized insurgent army with which our
| forces can cooperate by land. The in
surgents may be able to furnish our
army with guides, scouts and skirmish-
ers, but beyond this we can count on
| them for little else.
| THE VIRGINIUS AFFAIR.
| Chico Enterprise: 1t would be some
| thing of a retribution if the scene of
the collapse Of the war with Spain
should happen to be Santiago, which
was also the scene Of the Virginius
tragedy, when thirty Americans, ninety
| Cubans and six British subjects were
shot as pirates. Afterward, when the
proof was adduced that they were not
pirates, but the seamen, officers and
| passengers of a United States vessel,
this Government accepted $4,000 in
reparation. The whirligig of time

Practically all people spend some
ment-and it is the right thing to do.
Indulgence in that way is a necessity
in a complete life. 1t is the lubricant
of the everyday hard toll. Most people
think nothing of the expenditure thus
given up to break the monotone of
labor and worry. But when appeal
is made by the Red Cross helpers,
very often the giving is accompanied
by regret that there are such calls, be-
cause they are numerous, etc. In all
these cases we exaggerate the amount
we give for such worthy purposes. If
we stop to compare this assistance
given for Red Cross work with what
we expend upon our personal amuse-
giving is a very small thing. There is
about to be given an extensive and
elaborate Red Cross entertainment at
Oak Park, near this city. 1t is hoped
to realize from ii a considerable sum,
and this will be done if each individ-
ual will do a very little. No one is
called upon for great contribution. But
tickets taken by a large number of
people will effect the object in view,
and at the same time fill day with
rational amusement, of which there is
to be such variety that almost any
desire will be gratified Literally, here

boys who have gone out to the islands

it be at all surprising If after the war
is over quite a number of them remain
in the islands, and, forgetting the
blue-eyed loves at home, are made cap

chews the betel nut and smokes from

DEWEY'S NEPHEW.
Mysterious Disappearance
Strange Wanderings.
and


While Admiral Dewey has been win
ming fame in the Philippines his rela-
tives and friends in Vermont have COM
bined their admiration for the naval
hero with wonderment over the return
of a prodigal member of the family.
Edward Blackwell, who married a niece
of Admiral Dewey, has just turned up,
after an absence of nearly two years,
and spins a strange yarn to account for
his mysterious absence. His return
last Monday was as unexpected as was
his departure twenty-one months ago.
1t was as though the grave had gwen
up its dead
Mr. Blackwell's wife is daughter of
Charles Dewey, Admiral Dewey's broth
er. He left his home on September 5,
1896. He visited Burlington and
Brandon, and then went to Boston,
where he transacted business at sew
eral places. He attended the theater
with Edward r. Houghton, his nephew,
and then disappeared as though the
earth had opened and swallowed him
up.
Mr.. Blackwell was for several years
cashier of the Montpelier National
Bank, and later was connected with
the Thomson-H Houston Company, man
ufacturers of electrical supplies. Dur
ing his connection with this firm he
was instrumental in placing upon A
paying basis many electric light plants,
which had, before been running at a
loss. He severed his connection with
the Thomson Houston Company to as
sumo the management of the Consoli-
dated Lighting Company, with offices
in this city His accounts were found
to be absolutely correct, and his fam
lily and business relations were most
congenial.

voters that the safety of our finances
could only be secured by maintaining
the standard adopted by every other
civilized nation in Europe, as we'll as
on this continent, excepting Mexico and
one or more South American States.
The sound-money forces had arrayed
against them the .aflied parties" which
means the Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans. The Standard
has iterated and reiterated the fact
that fusion is weak When these sew
eral parties, regardless of their pro-
fessed principles, unite for the sake OF
getting the offices, the thinking and in
dependent men in each party are dis
gusted, and will not vote the ticket

Placer Herald: We cannot afford to

PROHIBITION PLATFORM.
Oakland Enquirer: The Prohibitionisi
platform adopted in Fresno sets forth
that the right of suffrage should have
no qualification save intelligence and
sobriety." But how much intelligence
must one possess, and how long must
he have been sober before he performs
the act of casting a ballot? The Pro
hibitionist proposition is sound enough
as philosophical generality, but, like
most other qualifications which it has
been attempted to enforce, it would
prove weak in practice.
IRRIGATING WHEAT.
Merced Sun: Over at Dos Palos
where the farmers have been irrigatins
wheat for three or four years past the
crop outlook is all that could be de-
sired. A correspondent of the Merced
Sun writes in this happy vein: with
wheat that will go from twelve t.
twenty sacks to the acre, and barley
even more, and the prices we are sure
to get, it surely does look as though
this is about the only place on earth
and we believe it," From twelve to
. twenty sacks of wheat to the acre
leaves several big margins for the pay
ment of irrigation tolls or taxes. Savvy!

GIVE BACK THE FLAGS
Los Angeles Times: The American
civil war is but an unpleasant memory; |;
men who's in the sixties wore the rebel
gray are now wearing the uniform of
the United States army and navy, and
are at the front, fighting the battles
of the great Republic; the bloody shirt
has been buried beyond hope of resur-
rection; Mason and Dixon's line is no
longer anything but a recollection, for
within the space of a few short weeks
it has been erased from the map of
the continent; the South and the North
are cemented in bonds of anlity, peace
and goodwill, and the family quarrel
we had more than thirty years ago
must be forgotten. Therefore it is
meet that the ensigns captured from
our brothers who fought on the losing
side should if they will accept them,
be returned, in order that the last Wis
ible vestige of the terrible conflict, so
far as possible, shall be everlastingly
wiped out of existence.

AMONG THE PHILIPPINE WOMEN

The American soldiers going out to
the Philippines will have opportunity
10 make conquests- other than those
they hope to achieve by the sword and
bayonet. For we are told that the
native female FIllipinos are extremely
fair, and are charmers with their black
eyes shaded by long and sweeping
lashes. AS a rule, they are modest and
prepossessing They have supple fig
ments, and clothed with light and
flowing drapery, usually very thin,
which disposes itself admirably to the
graceful form
Their chief glory is their wealth of
blue-black hair, in dressing which they
take extreme pains, frequently adorn-
Ing it with flowers and washing it in
perfumes. They are very proud of their
feet also, never seen with stockings,
but in well-fitting unheeled slippers.
Their eyes are liquid and languishing,
We are told. and their carriage is
graceful, except in the wet season,
when they wear clogs which impede
graceful movement.
The Philippine women are vain of
one thing above all others. and that is
possession of a garment made of the
pima cloth, woven from the fiber of the
pineapple leaf. 1t is very beautiful,
drapes admirably, and 1t costs a con-
siderable sum, so much. indeed, that
most Of the women have to be content
for years with a scarf of this fine ma
terial. and some with a simple head
handkerchief. A skirt of this rich
fabric costs from 81 to $40. a very
large sum in those parts, and many
full dresses OF pima cost as much as
$50, but these are enjoyed only by the
opulent. These wear pima cloth scarfs
richly embroidered, worth from 500 TO
$500
All cigars in Manila are made by
women. Men make the cigarillos. but
only women are permitted to roll the
full cigar. In the city Of Manila it is
said that there are over 1000 women
employed in that industry. and 81 ,00G
are engaged in it in that and other
places. The cigar roller makes from

ippines. To protect the head from the

are not easily won, but once attached
