WILL TAKE DAYS PLACE.
Ambassador Hay Accepts the Secre-
taryship of State.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Ambassador
Hay, at London has accepted the office of
secretary of state.
LONDON, Aug II. - The papers this
morning, while expressing regrets over the
departure of Colonel Hay, give voice to
satisfaction that he is going to fill a post
which promises important results for Anglo
American relations. All compliment him
upon the splendid services he has rendered
here. The Daily News publishes an inter-
view with First Assistant United States
Postmaster General Perry S. Heath, in
which he is quoted as saying that nobody
who understands the real sentiment and de-
sires of the American people and the Nc
Kinley administration can doubt the advis-
ability of Colonel Hays new appointment.
AS member of the government" said Mr..
Heath, Il violate no secrets in saying that
the people of the United States and Great
Britain are rapidly finding themselves trav-
cling in much the same direction. Colonel
Hays London popularity makes him popu-
lar at home. That is a strange thing to
say, looking at past events, but it shows
the trend of opinion. Then again the ques-
tons with which Colonel Hay will have to
deal in the next few months are questions
which he already has had very large hand
in ambassador. He will be able to look
at them first through the eyes of Europe
and then as an American. In many respects
l regard Mr.. Reid as most likely to be Col.
Hays successor. His health is now better
than it has been for years. and it was i'll
health that debarred him from Office before.
While there are some local reasons why
Mr.. Reid would be opposed in New York,
believe that if Mr.. Platt's partner Judge
fn thn
mission he would agree to Mr.. keid's going
to London"

THE MANGO.
A Delicious Cuban Fruit That Our
Soldiers Were Forbidden to Eat.

boston transcript.
1t really seems to have been a pity that
our soldiers were not permitted to eat the
mango in Cuba 1t was not prohibited by
the surgeon generals Order-indeed, in the
long list of suggestions from the medical
department. all of which were disregarded
the ripe mango was recommended as de-
sirable article of diet. But somebody at
headquarters issued an edict against 1t, and
the soldiers were called up by the company
commanders and told that if they ate the
fruit they would be punished.
After such an order the Obedient regulars
generally let the mangoes alone, although
they were abundant tempting and delicious.
The volunteers ate them more freely, with
out any bad result, so far as heard from
When the Cuban officers and aids were
asked their opinion as to the wholesomeness
of the fruit; they generally said 1T is per
fectly wholesome If eaten ripe; all these
bad things apply TO the unripe mango
which is sometimes eaten by the Span,
iards" Most of the army doctors seemed
to think that the only way to prevent the
eating of the unripe mango was TO prohibit
the fruit altogether. There were many
cases in which even the most obedient reg
ulars were impelled by thirst and by the
hunger for a bit of fruit to disobey the or
der; and as the clear yellow mango Is al
ways ripe, while the unrtpe fruit is green or
greenish it did not take very high order
of intelligence TO discriminate between the
fruit which was hit to eat and that which

itself is a most beautiful and attractive

glossy foliage finer than that of the orange
tree and covered also with golden fruit
nesting brilliantly amongst the green
leaves. On such tree there must often be
a hundred barrels of mangoes. fully ma

good-sized pear. In shape the mango is not
unlike a short and thick cucumber, and it
has thin. tough skin which. when pune

the mango is that one needs an ablution
afterward Some say that the ideal way Is

UNHEROIC FIGURES.
Comments of the London Press on Au-
gusti and BlancO.

LONDON, Aug II. = The papers this
morning comment upon the unheroic and
theatrical figure cut by Governor Generals
August and Blanco. The Daily News con-
graduates Admiral Dewey on the humanity
he displayed. The Daily Chronicle says the
action of the German commander in remov-
ing Governor General August is likely to
increase the tension between Germany and
America. 1t is evident from the order CIV
Ell to the Kynoch Company, of Birming-
ham, for large number of military cart
ridges, that, although the war is over, the
crisis still exists.
The Standard says: 1.-The fall of Manila
gives America valuable asset in peace
negotiations but does not diminish the diff
Guilty which President Mckinley will have
to face. The overthrow of Spanish rule
seems likely to reduce the Philippines to a
state of anarchy, unless measures are taken
to provide them with stable government"
The Standard article comments upon the
magnitude of the results achieved, con-
trasted with the limited scale of the opera
tionS of the war.
