About the time that our vol
unteer soldiers are dlsbanded
Blanco will get so contrary ana
dictatorial that Havana will have
TO be threatened with destruction
by our navy before he can be made
to realize that he is not still boss
of the situation. Our relief sup
plies have been denied landing at
Havana unless exOrbltant custom
rates are paid. The merchants OF
that city are still charging block
ade prices for provisions. Rice Is
6 1-2 cents a pound, lard ~ cents
and meat 60 cents a pound, and
retailers are trying to raise prices
still higher. Already the Spanish
Government has issued a decree
calling to arms 100000 men, 30,
600 of which are for the colonies,
presumably for the Philippines.
They are expecting to talk this
government into all kinds of con-
cessions before this matter Is set
tied. The lives of the men our
country has already lost by disease
and neglect and incompetency OF
high army officials are worth more
bv far than the whole dirty lot OF
Spaniards and Cubans and the
filthy islands combined. If the
termination of this war is to re-
solve itself into commercialism and
officialism it would be better tC
give the Vesuvius plenty of ammu'
milton and let her cough" until
the whole vile spot of earth is bat
tered into fragments and sunk into
the sea. The majority of the Gu
ban soldiers and their leaders have
proved themselves ingrates, and
soon they will be turned loose tC
root for themselves, while then
representative in this country, the
junta, will step in and, with Amer.
lean capitalists and spectators
gobble up the entire island, place
only such men as they want anC
can use in the various offices, anC
run the whole machine to sui
themselves. For years to come
Cuba will be a fostering sore OF
our hands. Porto Rico will bt
managed in the same way, and the
Philippines will continue to be the
hotbed of revolution and discOn
tent. In the meantime the com
mercial shark and carpetbag Off
cial will be up to his chin in gain
and glory.

THE Denison Herald tells the
farmers some valuable truths in
the following: Main street af-
forded an object lesson this morn
ing which ought to be repeated
many times during the year and
would solve many problems which
now trouble Texas farmers. The
illustration was one farmer with
five big wagons heavily loaded
with fifty fat hogs and another
farmer with one shackly wagon
groaning under the weight of two
bales of cotton. The hogs were
worth six to eight times as much
as the cotton and had not required
as much labor as the cotton, count
ing the growing of the corn to
feed them and the two seasons of
care. The hogs were growing
whet er the spring was early or
late and We're not jeOpardized by
over-production, for if such q
thing as unstable pork should
ever become known they would
provide meat for the family that is
usually carried home in the same
wagon that has brought in the two
bales of 5-cent cotton. 1t is rea.
sonable to believe that the farmer
who sold the hogs will have beet
to spare this winter and a few
sheep in the spring, with poultry
and dairy products all the yea
around. The cotton is valuabl,
and necessary, but to raise it alOn,
will impoverlsh any farmer ant
any country" "

tou, with its many and varied at
fractions, the favorite resort OF
Colorado tourists, lingering only to
mention what is really its chief at
traction, its best drawing-card-
Pixies Peak. The little picturesqe
town nestles so close to the foot of
this old giant it seems to be over
shadowed and protected by it, and
the two are inseparable. Here the
iron spring has bubbled up for
centuries; here the cog railroad
starts up to its summit, IA 900
feet away. And from the moment
the tourist alights in Colorado
Springs and secures a comfortable
boarding place he dreams of going
into the clouds, with Pixies Peak
as his ladder, either in a carriage,
on the cog railroad or on the back
of sore'y tried mountain burro,
and of standing at last on his bald
old head worn and rugged from
the sunshine and storm of many
centuries. The sunrise excursions,
which leave ManitOu at l o'clock
at night and arrive at the signal
station (which, by the way, is the
highest telegraph station in the
world) in time to see the sun rise,
is the time most people prefer to
go up. Then one has the pleasure
of seeing the glories of a sunrise
above the clouds; and / suppose,
from what | have heard others say
of it, that its beauties are past de-
scriptiOn. / did not go up, for the
night was chilly, and when the

more closely around me and turn
ing over in bed, just to make sure
l was very comfortable under my
pair of blankets, / said Good
night, and pleasant trip to you, "
and proceeded to go to the land of
dreams instead of the bleak regions
of Pixies Peak. When l arose in
the morning and went down to
breakfast the party was back
safeand sound, having made
the trip in six hours. They had

AGUINALDO DEFIANT. sssn ...s
Refused to Release Prisoners ut Gen.
eral OTIS Request.


Manila, P. l., Nov. 17.-General Otis.
the commander of the American forces,
recently proposed to Agulnaldo that he
release the friars and civilians held In
captivity throughout the provinces.
The insurgent leader denied their mall
treatment and refused to release the
prisoners. claiming that the civilians
had enlisted as volunteers and, there
fore, were legitimate prisoners Of war.
Aguinaldo also denied that women and
children were detained. but said some
women and children had voluntarily
accompanied their husbands and faith
ers into captivity.
AS to the friars. Aguinaldo argues
that they are prohibited by the pope
from accepting parochial appointments.
that they are only permitted to follow
monastic life, and that the parishes
are entrusted to ministers of the inde-
pendent monastic orders. But, he adds.
the philippine clericals have deliber-
ately and systematically deceived tho
pope pretending that the country was
bartarous, unfit for the regular minis
try, and that 1t was necessary that the
monastic orders should administer the
parishes. Therefore, Aguinaldo con-
tiAned, he considered 1t necessary to
detain the friars until the pope is un-
deceived.
Advices from Iloilo say the natives
of that vicinity distrust Aguinaldo and
want American domination.
