Ale never marched with the regi-

Gap, but stayed behind, and when the
camp equipment was shipped to Mid

Thus it appears that Ralph Botkin,
like Gov. Leedy, was nothing more
than a camp follower, and "bummed"
his subsistence off the volunteers.

a girl, she went to Berlin, where she
expected to meet cousin, then study

cousin ~ appeared, and proved to be a

he was a constant escort and charm
ing companion. 1t was only when she
was on the eve of departure that he
made the explanation, "You see, my
dear cousin, am not your cousin. My
friend, your cousin. is SO very busy
preparing for an examination that he
has asked me to take his place. My
name is Otto Won Bismarck" In 1886,
when the lady made her next visit to
Berlin, she called on the chancellor,

1T is reported also that the insur-

martialcd for murderous assault on a
corporal Of the regiment and sentenced
to three years Imprisonment, was re-

to the treasurer all moneys received as

supervision. 1t is not probable that
Gen. Wood will accede to this request
without a personal representative in
the chamber, and he will undoubtedly
retain the veto power himself.
There is great deal of complaint

pensions were granted. The total num-
Der this year is 3, 459, which shows de-
crease of $50 from last years figures or
about 20 per cent. This decrease is the
result of the provisions of the law passed
by the last session of the legislature in
order to prevent the pension appropria-
ton from being diverted toward un-
worthy objects, and the result upon the
face of these figures shows that its OBJ
ject has been accomplished. 1t is esti'

APPLES AND APPLE TREES.

In North America decade ago the
nurseries had over 240,000,00o apple
trees growing, We export over 100000
barrels year, many of them to Eng
land.
If all the fruit crops failed. and apples
were left to us. there would not be
much to mourn, for nearly everyone
likes apples. and physicians tell us they
are a panacea for all evils.
Apples ure grown to-day in Europe
northern India, South Africa, China,
Australia and New Zealand. The orig
inal wild crab of Russia has developed
into the several thousand varieties
which we know to-day.
Curiously enough, the apple belongs
to the rose family, and how IT was
transformed into stout tree is mys-
terry. II is supposed to have been IN
digenous TO northern Russia IN re-
mote times and to have spread from
there. To-day this country Is the great
apple-producing district.

only fortnight since Salvador, Hon

that the financial burdens of maintain
ing the new State will fall most heavily
upon them, owing to their having q
denser population than either of the

THE PARIS CONFERENCE.


Paris, Nov. l4.-Among on-loolcrs
here the impression exists though it
is not the result of any official state
ment-that the Spanish peace commits.
sioners will not consent to treaty
which the American commissioners
could sign.
The spaniards MAY Abandon Their
Struggle
1t seems almost possible, also that in
the pitiabe pressure 10 which the
Spanish commissioners are subjected
between their large creditors, who are
on the spot watching them, and the
stern attitude of the United States, the
Spaniards may abandon their strug-
giles and leave the two forces to con,
front each other.
1t has not yet been decided whether
the next joint session is to occur to-
day of tomorrow. The Spaniards, it
has been arranged, will inform the
Americans this morning whether they
need the day to prepare their next
memorandum. If they do the meet
ing will take place tomorrow.
Under the rules of procedure
adopted by the conference, it is under
stood that the deliberations may not
be unexpectedly concluded by either
side.
The Last American Memoranium Re-
shrded as an U!tlmatum.
The statement is printed here that
the last memorandum from the Ameri-
cans is regarded by the Spaniards as
virtual ultimatum. But, as a mat
ter of fact, the Americans have not
presented an ultimatum.
II is only since Wednesday last that
the Spaniards have begun to feel that
the Americans purpose taking over
| the Philippines, and that too without
any assumption of Spanish indebted
ness. AS they are now convinced of
this it may be that Spain's next pre-
sentiment in conference will be the SUI
preme rally Of her diplomats. argu-
mentatiye and tactical forces. 1t NAV
even mark the conclusion of all she
has to say, but if the rules of proceed
ure are followed the Americans would
still have another presentation to sub
nit.
An Open Rupture Liable te Occur.
Ever since October it has been
within the range of possibility that az
any meeting an open rupture might
occur, and on one on two occasions, it
might have been easily fact even be-
fore the taking up of the Philippine
question. The boundaries of the field
in which that question is being worked
out are becoming more apparent, and
the angel of final settlement can not
be far off. II a treaty is to result here
it may fairly be expected within three
weeks, although it is not true-as re
ported from the United States yester
: day-that the Americans have instruc
tions embodying time limit for tn,

But for the Winter Season Yellow Fever
Would Swepp the CITY,


New YORK, Nov. l4.-Among the pas
sengers who arrived here on the steamer
lucatan, from Havana, today was Col.
j. ii. Bliss, of the subsistence depart
ment of the army. Col. Bliss was or
dered to Cuba October / I to locate camp
sites for the army of occupation. He
brings with him a report of the work
done there, and this report he will take
to Washington tomorrow.
When asked as to the present state of
affairs in Havana, the colonel said that
the city was in a filthy condtian.
Il do not believe" he said, that the
city has ever been in worse shape. The
people are alarmed over the spread of
yellow fever. They realize that there
are no facilities for fighting the disease,
and that it will spread quickly if it re-
mains in its present condition. The
people seem to think that the city is
good place to keep away from unless
they are there on business Of the most
pressing kind.
"The Spaniards are bringing their
troops from the interior cities to the
coast towns, and believe that they are
going on as fast as they can with the
work of evacuating the island"
In speaking of his work on the island,
the colonel said:
1--WE have succeeded in locating sites
for camps around Havana, Matanzas
and Cardenas. The sites selected have
been chosen with view to their ele-
waited positions and their advantages
for good drainage. believe that they
are located in the best possible posi-
tions, and that the health of the soldiers
will be good There will be no more
stories of death in camps. Besides, the
