HAVANA, Sept. 6.-Last night Cap
tain Niles of the United States trans
port Comal and Major Niskern, who is
in charge of the supplies with which
the Comal is laden, under instructions
from Washington to superintend their
distribution, received a message from
President Mckinley directing them TO
repeat their request on behalf OF the
United States Government to land and
distribute the Comal's cargo without
having to pay duty.
This morning they addressed let
ter following the tenor of the Presl-
dents instructions to Senior Rafael
Montero, Secretary of Finance OF the
Colonies, asking for prompt reply
They pointed out that If the local Gov
eminent persisted in its attitude the
Comal would return to the United
States.
This evening the council Of Secre-
taries decided that 1t would be impos-
sible to allow the Comal to land her
cargo without paying custom house
duties, but that, if the Colonial Govern
ment is to distribute the supplies, then
it will pay the duties, according 10
previous decision.
All the southern ports Of Cuba are

sKILLFUL COOKS, DUTY.
Should Make Food Taste and Look W

Should Mako Food Taste and Look Well
The true science of cookery is to Sc
lect proper and nourishing ingredients
and then prepare them in such man
ner as will please the taste, and Incl
IDENTIFY the eye.
The most valuable food will not long
agree with person if it's taste is dis
agreeable. This does not argue that
all nice tasting articles are nutritious
and nourishing. However, it is the
duty of all food experts to produce de-
licious food and from the best possible
ingredients, and to have a comprehen-
sive knowledge of the laws of diges-
ton and assimilation.
Grape-Nuts, the new food. made by
Postum Cereal Co., Linz, Battle Creek.
and now on sale at grocers, is thought
to be the highest type of scientifically
made food thus far produced.
1t possesses the delicate sweet of
grape sugar, with new and peculiar
flavor Of a most winning character,
while the processes of manufacture
have brought the food to such condi-
ton that it absorbed by the system in
a most natural and healthful manner.

SUTRO'S WILL.
The Expected Contest Over the Es-
tate Filed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 6.-The ex-
pected contest of the will of Adolph
SutrO was filed to-day. Edgar E.
Sutro, one of the six children, repre-
sents the family in the endeavor to
have the will set aside The most i'm
portant allegation in the petition is to
the effect that the deceased million
aire was of unsound mind at the time
of the execution of his will, May %
1882, and SO remained until the day of
his death.
The contestant charges that Sutro
died inestate; that the will was neither
written, dated nor signed by the hand
of Sutro; that the document was not
witnessed by the parties whose names
are subscribed thereto; that the WILL
after it's alleged execution by Sutro
was revoked.
On these grounds the petitioner asks
that the probate of the will be denied.
The case has been set for October 9Th
in Judge Coffeys court.

ADMIRAL DEWEY'S FLEET.
Will Soon be Ready for Any Peace
Disturbers.

WASHINGTON, Sept Ga report
from Constructor Caps at Manila, just
received, states that aside front the
small gunboats that have been raised
and put into the service of Admiral
Dewey, none of the Spanish ships of
war engaged in the battle of Manila
Bay are likely to be raised. Mr.. Caps
was sent to the Asiatic station espe-
cialy to assist in putting the squadron
in first-class condition for any cmer-
genc-v.
Already the flagship Olympia and the
gunboat Raleigh have been locked at
Hongkong, and the Boston arrived
there last Saturday for the same pur-
pose. Within the course of a few weeks
at the outside Admiral Dewey's squad
ron will have been thoroughly reno
waited, and, reinforced as he has been
by the Monterey and Monadnock, and
with other ironclads within easy reach,
the Admiral will be in shape TO meet
any who threaten to disturb his possess
sion of Manila.

TROUBLE IN CRETE.
Conflict Between British and Nus
selmaus at Gambia.

GAMBIA Qsland of Crete, Sept. g.
3 p. m.-Candia is in a state of an
archy. A collision between the Mus
sulmanS, who were demonstrating
against European control, and the Brit
ish authorities, who have been INSTALL
ing Christians as revenue officials, cul-
minated to-day in bloody fighting be-
tween the Mussulmans and the British
troops.
Riots took place in various parts of
the city, and many have been killed.
When the outbreak was firecest war
ship stationed in the harbor began fir
ing shells, with the result that a por-
ton Of the city is in flames. The great
est confusion and uproar prevails, and
it is feared that the night will not
pass without further pillage and de-
struction.
The trouble began with the attempt
of the British military authorities TO
install Christian officials. They had
appointed a council of internal control
to administer the 1.-THE revenues, ana
a detachment of soldiers was stationed
outside the doors as a precaution. A
crowd of unarmed MussulmanS, who
had been demonstrating against the
Christians, attempted to force an en-
trance into the office. The British
soldiers fired and wounded several. Inc
Mussulmans ran for their arms, and
returning attacked the soldiers. Other
Mussulmans spread rapidly through the
Christian quarter, shooting into win
dows and setting many houses and
shops on fire.
h. D,r;ff c11,
sui has been killed.
CANEY. Sept. 6.-The Turks set fire
to the whole town Of Gambia. The
only warship there at the time OF the
outbreak was the British gunboat Haz-
ard, which landed a party of marines
to assist the British troops there.

ALSACE-LORAINE.
Principal Subject to Be Considered
by Disarmament Congress.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 1.-THE
"Novosti," in long article, declares
that the principal subject to be consid-
cred by the disarmament congress must
be the question of Alsace-Lorraine.
1t anticipates that the result Of a
consideration of this matter will be
either the naturalization or the indie
pendence of AlsaceLorraine, which
will now be possible without wounding
the amour propre of either nation.
Both Germany and France, says the
"Novosti'' could make this self-sacri-
flee to attain the Cars worthy object,
and thus restore friendship and relieve
the world of the burden of armed peace.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Relating to the Incurring of In
debtedness by Municipalities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 6.-The Su-
preme Court has decided that the
amendment of 1897 to the statute, per-
hitting municipalities to incur in
debtedness greater than can be paid in
any one year, passed in 1889, and
amended in 1893, does not repeal the
statute.
The electors of the city of Los Ange-
les approved the issuance of bonds in
the amount of $4,000 for fire and
bridge Improvement, but the City Clerk
refused to issue the bonds, on the
ground that in amending the Act the
authority vested in the Council had
been repealed. A petition for a writ
of mandate to compel the Clerk to
sign the bonds was brought before the
Supreme Court, and was argued on
Monday A decision granting the writ
was rendered to-day.

SCHLEY AND GORDON.
The American Commissioners Ar
rive at San Juan.

SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, Sept.
1.-THE United States transport Seneca,
carrying Rear Admiral w. S. Schley
and Brigadier General Gordon of the
Porto Rico Commission, arrived off the
harbor last night, but did not enter
until this morning.
A boat Immediately put off shore
from the New Orleans to the Seneca
and took Admiral Schley aboard.
The Senaca also brought the Postal
Commission, six nurses and six sur
geons. There were thirteen postal
clerks with the commission for the var
ious stations The Commissioners will
make an investigation into the postal
system of the island and report to
Washington.
The Seneca proceeded to Ponce this
afternoon. Paymaster Arthur who is
on board, has 81 100000 for the troops
When the AdmiraPs pennant was
raised on board the New Orleans the
marines paraded and the band played.
Shortly before noon the Spanish
Brigadier General Vallarino made an
official visit to Admiral Schley, and
was saluted with seven guns.
During the afternoon Admiral Schley
and General Gordon came ashore and
took up their quarters at the Hotel In
glaterra, where they will remain dur
ing the sessions of the military commits
sion. They walked from the quay to
the hotel, attracting much attention.
The Spanish soldiers and sailors who
throng the city seemed especially curl
Gus to see the man who destroyed Ger
vera's fleet. The only guard for the
party consisted of three policemen, but
even these We're unnecessary, as there
was no hostile demonstration what
ever.
About 4 o'clock General Brooke ar
rived from his headquarters at Rio
Pedras, and the three Commissioners,
all of whom are ranked by Captain
General Macias, made a call of cour-
tesy upon him..
All appears TO be clear sailing to the
United States Commissioners, but it is
reported that the Spanish Commission
ere expect considerable compensation
for the Spanish property to be relin-
quished.

BATTLE OF KHARTOUM.
Estimated That the Dervishes Lost
Fifteen Thousand Killed.

LONDON, Sept. THE war CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail" at ON
durham says: -
After the entry of the troops into
the Dervish capital it was found neces-
sary to further lombard the Khalifa' s
house. General Kitchener and his
staff We're standing in the vicinity, and
narrowly escaped being killed by the
shells. | estimate the enemy's killed at
more than $4,000"
A special dispatch from Omdurman
says: Herbert Howard, the CORE
spondent of the Times met his death
owing to his eagerness to get the first
news of the fate of Karl Neufeldt and
the other European prisoners of the
khalifa. He pressed his way into the
city before it was safe to do so, and
was going all alone along a narrow al
ley leading to the prison when he"was
attacked and killed.
GUNBOATS PROCEED UP THE
NILE.
KHARTOUM, Sept. Give gunboats
have proceeded up the White Nile
LONDON, Sept. Z. The dispatch
from Khartoum announcing that five
British gunboats have pushed up the
White Nile is regarded as highly sig
nificant. The Sirdar telegraphed on
Saturday that the condition of the
bank of the Nile made it impossible to
utilize the gunboats in the pursuit of
Khalifa Abdullah, who had fled toward
Kordofan. The only inference, there
fore, is that the gunboats have now
gone to join hands with Major McDon-
aid, who is now on his way northward
from Uganda, an operation which has
long been contemplated by the Gov
eminent.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer announced in
Parliament on June 9th last that an
