want any war or naval battles, but
If there is to be one here l want to
see it. From a very elevated posi-
ton here called the Lookout, / can
see the whole harbor. I shall very
likely go to camp while at Tacoma.
Just little description OF my sur
roundlngs on the ranch: A very
beautiful little clearing, surrounded
by lofty trees on three sides. A
little opening gives us glimpse OF
a snow-topped peak. In the front
the sloping land gives us fine out
look over the bay. These trees rise
to great heights, frequently three
hundred feet aud more, with a
diameter of six and eight feet. In
deed one went to look at the other
morning must have been feet
at the base, for when the owner of
the place first came here, a pioneer,
he, together with his wife and five
children camped inside the stump.
The land on which it stands is used
for pasture. While looking at tho
queer old stump l was greatly
startled by the playful (?) antics of
some very frisky cattle. | quickly
got the stump between me and the
cattle, and after some little
maneuvering the members of the
party wearing skirts made good
their escape, leaving the trousered
ones to play (?) with the cattle. Had
you been there you would have seen
some very lively sprinting, for hear
ing the tramp of their running feet
we of course supposed they were
chasing us. Such running! |
didn't know I could go so fast.
After we had slackened little to
take breath a voice called out,
what did you run for, they were
only playing. oh" 1 cried, Il
don t want to be gored to death by
hornless cattle
All the buildings on the ranch, and
there are number of them, are
built either of logs or split boards.
The timber here is mostly FIR, hem
lock and cedar. The cedar splits in
to fine boards and shingles Back
of the house is the Lookout, above
which is staff fitted with ropes
for running aloft "Old Glory" Be
yond is lovely little orchard of
young trees, very small yet, but
thrifty. Back of the orchard is "a
deep .gulch through which flows a
tiny stream of ice cold water.
Across this gulch are logs, one very
large one. | went over it the first
time with some trepidation, but be-
fore | leave | expect to run over it
like cat. The exercise, the pure
water, the mountain air, are doing
me great good. I've no doubt but
that ! shall astonish my friends
when | come back to L'Anse. You
would be surprised to know the
various estimates that have been
given of my weight, one lady es-
timating my weight at one hundred
sixty. Il do not consider her q good
Judge of live stock, however). |
tell you this to warn you, for should
| return this summer, | would not
be pleased should | fail to be recog-
nized because of my size. So hop
ing that | shall not have changed

DIR. G. d. Warner, Coldwater, Mich.
Dear Sir:-I am well acquainted
with the merit of your White Wine of
Tar Syrup. 1 have used it on several
occasions when very hoarse from pub
lie speaking and when suffering from
sore throat. Our postmaster, Mr..
Nicholson, had la grippe and it left him
with very bad cough, had spells of
coughing every morning for an hour or
more. met him on the street three
weeks ago and recommended White
Wine of Tar Syrup, which he COM
menced taking and to-day he is a well
man. A little girl here had coughed
all winter and mcclure could be found
/ asked!her mother to get White Wine
of Tar. She did so and in two weeks
the child was cured. AS you say, it is
the best cough remedy on earth.
Please send me six bottles by express.
Yours Most Resp'y,

Long, Hay and Alger called about 10

Long, Hay and Alger called about 10
o'clock and the president discussed with
them several matters which he found
awaiting his attention on his arrival
from the west. A telegram from Gen.
eral Wade at Havana was read rec
ommending that the limit of time al
lowed the Spaniards to evacuate Cuba
be extended from Dec. to Jan. L. He
said that it would be physically impos-
sible for the $4,000 Spanish troops now
on the island to leave before the LIST
of the year and he regarded the extern
sion Of time as reasonable and just
After the matter had been discussed
at some length, an agreement was
reached and General Wade was tele-
graphed that his recommendation was
approved. In the meantime, however,
the United States troops now in Cuba
and others to be despatched, will take
possession of the territory as fast as
the Spaniards vacate it, probably leav-
ing Havana until the last. In regard
to the reported purpose Of the Span
iards to dispose and remove to Spain
the heavy ordnance of the forts and
arsenals about Havana, it was stated
in positive terms that nothing Of the
kind would be permitted and If this
movement had already begun it would
be stopped at once The instructions
given our evacuation commission at
Havana covered all of these questions
and explicitly provided that only the
arms in the hands of the troops and
what is generally understood as i'm
pediments would be permitted to be
taken away.
Nothing of special Importance has
been received recently from our peace
commissioners at Paris. 1t was again
reiterated that under no circumstances
would the United States assume any
part of the so-called Cuban debt or the
debt charged against the Philippine ISL
lands. 1t might be possible that the
United States would assume or guaran-
tee the municipal obligations of Ha-
vana or other Cuban cities, or at least
would not permit them to be repudi-
ated. The same might be true of Ma
nila, but as to the national debt which
Spain had seen fit to charge against
Cuba or the Philippines, neither would
be assumed or in any sense guaranteed.
This policy, 1t was declared, our peace
commissioners we'll understood, and 1t
would not be receded from in the slight
est degree.
