returns TO Havana this week, and although In
formal progress may be made before that time the
official development OF the new arrangement must
await Mr.. Angulo's arrival.

MINISTER WOODFORDS LATEST NOTE.
WHAT THE UNITED STATES HAS DONE TO STOP
r1LIBusTERISo SET FORTH.
Washington Feb. SIT was learned to-day
from a trustworthy source that the recent note
delivered by Minister Woodfori to the Spanish
Government to which Madrid cable dispatches
have referred. relates to the question Of filibus
tering and is n strong showing OF what the
United States has done and the amount Of
money the Government has spent In stopping
filibustering The note was drawn out by the
reply OF Spain to a previous note. In which II
was suggested that the Cuban instruction
gained much Of it's strength through fibuster
Ing parties organized and equipped In the
United States. and that this was one of the rea
sons which increased the difficulties OF Spain In
bringing the instruction to close.
This Spanish answer was given some months
ago, and now Minister Woodford has rejoined
with an arrayal Of facts and figures, drawn
from the Official records Of the Department OF
Justice and the Treasury Department. showing
In detail the painstaking efforts made by the
United States to stop flibustering. The state
ment showed an aggregate expenditure Of up
ward Of S2.000.OOO by this Government In run
ming down filibusters. maintaining detectives
and equipping vessels and searching parties II
showed also that the United States has been
more successful than Spain. as tho detailed
statement shows how a large number OF flibus-
tiers were apprehended parties broken up and
prosecutions carried on by the Federal authotf-
ties, while the Spanish naval force surrounding
Cuba has not succeeded In accomplishing equal
results. The Competitor party. II is said. is the
only Of any proportions which has been ap
pretended by the Spanish. II Is understood that
the showing is mainly important in It's array OF
facts and figures rather than In Its controver
sial tone
Concerning the reports that the last Wood
ford note again urges that a specific time be
fixed for bringing the uprising to close. II is
said that the question of specific time does not
enter into the case. but that any discussion
that point concerns the question Of what is A
reasonable time" within which the conflict
should be closed.

People who do not keep in touch with

scarcely a single vestige remains Of
vast enterprise and industry. For sew

Al this spot and within these buildings

1891 between Paddy Shea and Mike Burt.
The police interfered and drove the COM

ferocious that her keepers could do moth

ANCHoRED TO THE LILY.

At the production Of '"The Messiah last
| Tuesday evening, occurred a little Incl
dent that to those occupying front seats
impressed itself as not only very pretty
and appropriate but suggestive OF the
consanguinlty of taste with refined art.
At the close of the third aria in the sec
ond part SO superbly rendered by Miss
Helen Buckley, an usher approached the
stage bearing in his hand a beautiful bou-
quet OF flowers. tribute from some adj
nirer- of the. sweet melody of the singer.
The bouquet was made up of many vari-
cites OF lovely flowers mingled with green.
Miss Buckley placed the punches on the
pedestal erected for the leader, and for
moment paid no attention TO them. until
the applause had subsidized and the atten-
ton of the vast audience had been at
tracted toward the next solo on the pro-
gram. Then as quietly and unostenta-
tiously as was possible from her promi-
nent position, she picked up the bouquet
and after hurriedly looking it all over
selected one lone flower from the collec-
ton and withdrawing it placed it to her
cheek for just one instant, then laid it
on her music in her lap. Ii was the deli
cate and dainty Lily of the Valley. No
other of the many beautiful flowers
seemed to attract her so much. and in
the eternal fitness of things it seemed
fitting and finely consistent that it should
be so. Never from then on did she for an
instant release her firm grasp on the
little flower. When she arose to sing, or
when idly turning the pages of her music,
or when rapt in close attention TO Ee
other solos, ever and always was the
sweet flower held in her fingers, before
the audience in full view or when she was
seated and awaiting her next number.
In the bouquet were lovely vari-colored
carnations. roses Of many varieties, and
other larger lilies, but of them all this
sweet singer seemed solely and so nat
urally to select that dainty little fowerlet
which of old was the accepted Romantic
and poetic appellation for the Messiah.
Before the dawn of history the sweet
voiced singer in the mystic Canticles sang
forth the prophetic edict: 81 am the
lily Of the valleys. the bright and morn
ing star: as the lily among thorns, SO is
my love among the daughters" A most
fitting intuitive act was this natural selec- !
ton by the great soprano of the lily 70 be
closely held throughout the rest Of the
evening as a symbol of the oratorio then
being rendered.

WAIT AMI BE CAPTAIN.

In case of war the individual members
Of the Wichita militia do not have TO
volunteer at the calf for troops If they
do not wish to. Probably several of them
will not volunteer at once, but will resign
and at once form companies and drill
them, thus getting a captaincy. The only
danger in this is that there may be never
a second call for troops and they would
always rest under the imputation of being
afraid.

TAX DEEDS ARE NOT coon.

c. II. Brooks says that a tax title is not
now and never was of any account in
Kansas. The supreme court has handed
down a number OF decisions in cases
where tax deeds were involved and always
that body has held that the slightest
error vitiates a tax deed. If the charge
for publication notice is even three or
four cents in excess OF the fee authorized
by law or If a word or two is omitted, or
any sort of a technical error gets into the
records. the tax deed is void And 50
great is the liability TO errors that no
tax deed is worth anything.
