Seattle, Wn., Aug. 1.-Carl Werner,
head engineer of the German fleet at

stewed Ants and Thingg.

Ants stewed in butter are a luxury in
some parts of Africa and are said to be of
two distinctive navors, the front part diff
fering from the abdomen in flavor. Hum
boldt noted their use as food in South
America and stated that some tribes pre-
ferred them stewed in rosin. In Sweden
ants are distilled with rye and used for
havoring brandy. Termites, or white ants,
are highly esteemed by Hottentots, who
fatten themselves upon SoIomon's models
of industry. The correct method of prep
aration is to parch them in pots over a
gentle fire, stirring them occasionally with
a stick. They are eaten without sauce of
any kind and are said to resemble sugared
cream or sweet almond paste. The Hindoos
prefer them made into pies. Fried wasps
are a Chinese delicacy, and the Celestials
also declare that the chrysalis of the silk
worm is delicious, as is the caterpillar of
the hawk moth. The Cingalese used to
eat bees, and the natives of New Caledonia
favored spiders.-London Standard.

AHARBINGER OF PEACE.
a Butterfly AIights on Gun on the
Uncas.

Key West, Aug. 1.-THE tug Uncas,
Commander Lieutenant R. Brainard,
reached here today after an exciting
fortnight of blockade duty on the north
Cuban coast.
When the Uncas left here two weeks
ago she carried Captain Stable of Co
mez's staff with six other Cubans and
500 Remington carbines and ammuni-
ton for the insurgent commanders for
ces. The tug proceeded to Cay Con-
flies, near Caibarien, where she put her
little Cuban party ashore without en-
countering a Spaniard. Then the I'm
cas- steamed towards Matanzas.
While lying off Matanzas a day or two
ago, the Uncas was fired upon. She
was within two miles of the shore when
of 6-inch guns began to throw shells at
her. Fully twenty of the missiles fell
around the tug within radius of 100
yards before she could get out of range.
AS she steamed away the Uncas re-
turned the fire with her three forward
and aft 6-pOunders. Then occurred
little incident illustrating the supersti-
ton of seamen. The last shell from the
Uncas' stern had just screamed away
when a gaudy winged butterfly which
had blown off the shore, lowered over
the still smoking gun and settled down
on its griny muzzle.
A horny listed Irishma.n who managed
the gun saw it and threw up his hands
and shouted to Lieutenant Brainard:
Say, captain, that settles it. That's
the last shot We'll fire in this war" and
there is not a man on the tug who is
not thoroughly convinced that the but
terfy's visit was a sure forerunner of
peace.

WHEN THE SHIPS COME IN
The Twentieth Kansas Will Sail for
Manila.

San Francisco, Aug. n-There are
about $500 Philippine expeditionary
troops in San Francisco. The Arizona
and Scandal will take away 1900, leav-
ing 5000 to be forwarded. This includes
the Eighth California, which was turned
over to Major General Otis and made
part of the expeditionary forces. The
First Washington has not been attach
ed to the Eighth army corps and will
therefore not go to Manila unless later
orders are issued. assigning it to duty
in the Philippines.
It is expected that the Australia and
Sydney will reach this city from Ma
Mia about the 18th. They will be inn
mediately fitted out for a return trip
to the Philippines, with troops and will
be followed by the City of Pekin which
is due here about the oath. These YES
sells will probably carry the Fifty first
Iowa, the Twentieth Kansas and the
First Tennessee.
Gen. Merriam desires to have all the
troops embarked for Manila not later
than October 10.

A CIRCUS IN TROUBLE.
Guaranteed South of the Colorado
Border for Smallpox

Denver, Aug. 11.-CoIone1 George W.
Halls circus and menagerie will not
fulfill its engagement to perform in the
city of Denver unless it can dodge the
state quarantine officers on the south
ern border. Smallpox is the alleged
cause.
Both Chairman Henry Sewell of the
state board of health and the city
health commission, and DR.. William P.
Mum are very much perturbed over
the news from the south The infor-
nation came from Trinidad to DR.. Sew
ell. Halls circus had passed through
a part of New Mexico where smallpox
prevailed. Some of the circus force
had been taken down by the disease.
AS a consequence, when the circus
proprietors had applied for a license
to the authorities at Trinidad, Colo,
they were put off until DR.. A. N. Har-
bison, the Trinidad member of the state
board of health, could communicate
with DR.. Sewau. The facts in the case
were set forth this morning and DR..
Sewan wired DR.. Harbinson not to Ii
cense the circus in his city, and to OBJ
tain an injunction from the courts if
necessary. The circus will probably
be quarantined at Trinidad until they
are fit to receive a clear bill of health.

KLONDIKE OUTPUT.
Only About $5,oOo,Ooo in Gold Has
Appeared So Far.

San Francisco, Aug. IF. A. Leach,
superintendent Of the United States
mint in this city, estimates that the gold
output of the KlOndixe this year has
been only about $1,000, 900. The receipts
at the mint here have amounted to
about 81, $50 900 since the first arrival of
Yukon gold a few weeks ago. The re-
ceipts of the Seattle assay office have
been about the same. The largest single
deposit at the mint here was 100000
Mr.. Leach estimates that about $780,
600 in dust and nuggets has gone east
and that there is about 81, 600, 900 more
of this seasons output yet to reach this
country. It is stated that the dust
brought out by the North American
Trading and Transportation company
was sent east and was not included in
Mr.. Leach's figures. This amount might
possibly Eeach $780, 600. From this show
ing it would appear that S. 600, 600 would
be a safe and conservative estimate of
the entire Yukon output including the
American side as well as the KIOndike.

WEST INDIAN WEATHER.
The Bureau at Washington is Now in
Touch With It

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE West In
dian weather service was practically
inaugurated today, when the Washing
ton office received reports from six of
the ten observation stations recently es-
tabHshed there. Prof. Willis L. Moore
stated that the system is now in COM
plete working order and the department
will be enabled to forecast the terrible
West Indian hurricanes that for years
have swept the Atlantic coast without
warning. The whole group of islands
has been plotted and meteorological
conditions are chartered daily at the
recently established stations. It was
feared that the West Indian service
might be hampered by delays in the
cabIegrams but Prof. Moore stated that
the reports today reached the Washing
ton Office within one hour and a half
after the observations We're made.
The vacancy in the Washington bu-
reau caused by the death of Prof. Nor
ri1 has been filled by the promotion of
Prof. H c. Frankenfeld, now on duty
at St. Louis, to be national forecasuer
on duty at Washington.

OBJECTED TO ONIONS.
Hawaiian Commission Sailed Under a
Vigorous Protest.


San Francisco, Aug. 1.-THE Exam
liner says:
when the Hawaiian commission en-
barked on the steamer NIariposa they
found the passenger deck stacked with
boxes of onions. Senators Morgan and
Cullom and Representative Hit made
a strong protest to Captain Hayward
against the ship sailing in such a con-
dition. They declared that it was an
outrage and an insult to the govern
ment to convert the vessel which was
to carry the official representatives on
such an important mission into a
freight ship. Further than this they
asserted that 1t was unsafe to proceed
to sea under such conditions.
Every berth on the steamer was
taken and a number of passengers
could not get sleeping accommodations
The commission was obliged to remain
on the vessel for the reason that it
could not secure any other means of
