the leaf cutter" This insect drills il,
a sand bank q hole 10 inches dccp and

The cutting is done with the iawe,
while the six legs hold the leaf in posi-
ton and enable the insect to turn itself
about with the precision of a pair Of

OF varying proportions. Having cut out

ROCKY COLORADO. THURSDAY
DE LONE WAS SHARP.
Sent In His Rcsignation Before ogr Gov
ernment Had Protested.


Washington, Feb. 1.-THE personal
incident growing out of the publication
of Senor De Lome's letter to Senor Ca
nalejas may be regarded rs settled.
This has been brought about by the
short cablegram sent by Minister
Woodford from Madrid, In which he
states that the minister had resigned
and his resignation had been accepted
before he (AIr. WoodforO presented
the request of the United States thai
he be recalled. The officials here feel
nn interest in learning the details OF
happenings In Madrid yesterday and
are waiting for Mr.. Woodford's prom
ised full report. But unless this should
contain some statement that Is not now
expected there is no disposition OH the
part OF the government TO protiact the
closing OF this unpleasant incident, ana
1t Is not expected that anything in the
nature of demand for an apology
would be made. If n graceful dis
clnimcr should come, that will be
taken in the spirit in which it Is made,
otherwise the matter will be dropped
and the relations between the State
Department and the Spanish legation
will run smoothly once more through
the medium OF Senor Du Bose, the first
secretary, and now charge d'affaires.
1t can be said for the President that
he shows little personal concern In the
matter rs 1t stands and is not disposed
to pursue Mr.. De LONE In any personal
spirit, and with this. spirit in the head
OF the American nation, the end OF the
affair may be said to have been
reached.

WASHINGTON THE SOLDIER.

In the estimation of his associates
and others familiar with his military
carer. Washington was one Of the
few great military chieftains OF the
world. No higher tribute could be
paid him than that conveyed by Fred
erick the Great of Prussia, when he
presented his sword to the American
general with this inscription upon 1t,
"From the oldest general of Europe
IN the greatest general in the world"
Washington as general mas peen
criticised for irresoluteness and IRE
ouent resort to retreats while engaged
in battle, but measured by the results
accomplished in this way these criti-
cisms only add to his greatness.
with the memory of the scenes at
Concord, Lexington and Bunker Hill,
and the events at New York fresh in
mind, it is pertinent to consider the
effect of Washngton's retreat from
New York to the Jerseys, distance
of more than hundred miles, with a
mere handful of freezing starving
men before a powerful foe, flushed
with victory. yet baffled in all their
attempts to cut off retreat and destroy
ammunition stores. Grander than any
victory. more difficult and dangerous
than any battle. this famous retreat
brought into public gaze the wonder
mi combination of courage and pru-
dence in Washington's character anu
gained for him the title of American
Fabms."
Hut followed and crowned as this
