out of range can only be interpreted
In one way. Hasanas condition Is
desperate and Blanco wants TO provoke
a commandment before his supplies
are completely exhausted. Whether
he wants the action as an excuse for
surrendering or whether he is anxious
TO intlict some damage upon the block

putting him in such an unpleasant
predicament, can only be conjectured.
His position is hopeless enough Go
warrant either disposition. But what.

disposed of by the big fighters. When

THE PRICE OF HEMP.

Admiral Dewcy's blockade Of Manila
Has Caused Rapid Advance in the
Price of Rope.
"Since the blockade of Manila by
Admiral Dewey the price of hemp
from the Philippine islands has doub-
led in value, said Mr.. C. w. Rice,
of Boston, to a Washington Post re-
porter. THE bulk of tirst-class
hempen ropes IN this country is made
from the raw material that comes
from Manila.
aSince Dewey has shut of the sup
ply the best hempen rope has advanced
from cents 10 III cents pound,
and there is probability of still further
increase until the close of the war.
The stock on hand in the United
States is small, and the demand being
great rise has taken place also in
the hemp imported from Mexico. The
sisal hemp of that country Is not
nearly SO good as that obtained from
the Philippines; the latter being far
more durable, is preferable for ropes
for outside use. 1t lasts longer In the
water, and freQnentdrying and wetting
does il no harm.
Goal shippers use tons OF the best
Manila rope to tie their coal fleets
together, and it is largely used in oil
we'll drilling, in rafting and scores OF
other ways

that the report is unfounded. He

Paul Mccoy wishes that those

Fairmont after volunteers to join the

get them into the ecms.agF r.

applicants from Warrington. That
town raised enough men for the com
pany in few days and when Me
Coy applied to Standiford who is
to be captain as to what disposal he
was to make of his men he was told
that the company was full and that
no more could be taken.
Now Eaton wants los men and
will be down here in a day or so to
open his Office here for recruits. All
those who wanted into the Fairmont
company can be taken if they are all
right and they can go at once to the
front. They will be sent in small
detachments as they are recruited
and they will not have to wait until
the full number is obtained.

lately given the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies an unlim-
tied amount of trouble In a most
unique and peculiar way. Bertha's
daily duty was to herd and watch a
large drove of cattle. whose range WAS
near the Western Union and Postal
lines. For some time past at irregular
intervals during almost every day
these lines absolutely failed to work,
and the trouble seemed to be some
where in the vicinity OF where this
girl ranged her fathers cattle. but try
as the line repairers would, 1t could
not be definitely located. Finally it
was discovered that Bertha, In order
to get a better view Of the herd, had
driven railroad spikes into a telegraph
pole SO that she could climb 1t, and
that she would, whenever she got
weary watching the cattle from the
ground. climb the pole. pull up board
by means of cord. place 1t across
the wires. seat herself on the board
and spend an hour or two watching
the herd from her uniquely improvised
elevated station. Whenever the board
happened to be damp or wet. and the
frequent rains this year have kept the
board wet most OF the time. 1t de-
stroyed the electric current and prac-
tically cut off all telegraphic commu-
nications between Denver and Kansas
City.
When discovered and informed Of
the damage she was doing to the bus
mess OF the telegraph lines, Bertha
was greatly surprised and was appar-
emily utterly ignorant of the fact that
her seat on the wires interefered in the
slightest degree with the working of
| the lines.
