Tobacco in England.
Notes and Queries.)


In regard to the suggestion which is
some times made that one way TO relieve
agricultural depression In this country
would be Tor the government 10 allow ana
even 10 encourage the growth Of tobacco,
IL may be interesting 10 note how long
the prohibition has lasted, and how
sternly IL has been enforced. This may be
gathered from the following extract:
"Cornet Wakefield, with party Of
horsemen. marching out OF Gloucester

In these parts, the country did rise against

Ring OF Your Phone.

Mr. C. E. Mcclure, general manager
of the Richmond Telephone Company. is
using every effort to improve the tele-
phone service of the city. He said TO a
Dispatch reporter yesterday that the
patrons of the company would con-
tribute very largely to this end II they
would regularly observe the rule for
ringing off" this being the duty of the
station ordering the connection. The ex-
ercise OF a little thoughtfulness in this
direction will greatly relieve the opera
tors and prove a convenience to all in

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-The war do.
partment has begun in earnest the re.
duction Of volunteer troops now stationed
ut, Manila by the substitution Of regu-
lars. Secretary Alger has signed an
order designating for this purpose Gx
regiments Of United States infantry out
OF eight held in reserve for service in
~sub-tropical countries. The regiments
are the Twentieth at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan; the Third at Fort Smelling, MINI.
the Twelfth at Jefferson Barracks and
Fort Riley, Kan; the Seventeenth at
Columbus Barracks, o.; the Fourth at
Fort Sheridan. and the Twenty-second
at Fort Cook, Neb.
They will go forward to Manila q
soon as the transportation ian be pro
vided. It may be that the two regi-
ments still held in reserve, the Twenty
fourth and Twenty-ffth infantry, will
join tho others before they sail. These
regiments were selected in the reverse
ratio to the loss sustained by them in
the Cuban campaign.
The volunteers in Manila will be re-
tired in the order in which they reached
Manila.

GAVE HIS LIFE FOR CUBA
General Garcia Spent Much Of His Tim
Fighting for Cuban Liberty.

General Garcia Spent Much of His Time
Fighting for Cuban Liberty.
General Garcia, whose name will be
ever linked with those Of old patriots
who have fought against unequal odds
for the freedom of his country, has had
q most active and varied life, much of
which has been spent in fighting for the
cause or Cuban liberty which he had the
satisfaction of seeing accomplished SO
short a time before his death.
He was u man of culture and refine
ment, of splendid education and came
from a distinguished family of Jiguand,
of Santiago de Cuba province. He was
born in Cogquin, Oct. IA, 1889, and was
therefore in the Goth year of his age.
General Garcia was educated in Havana
and in Spain. In 1854 he was married
to Isabel Veles. General Garcia was
the original conspiraror in the uprising
of the Cubans against Spain in 1868, and
in that war, under Gomez, he attained
the rank Of a brigadier general. In 1875
he attempted another revolution but was
unsuccessful and was banished to Spain
in 1880. where he remained until 1895,
when he escaped and returned to Cuba.
His active participation in the last rev
olution is familiar to all newspaper
roa1orS
