Boston, Oct. 10.-A special to the Herald

to the navy department, Lieut. Robert ].
Beach, who was in command of the aux

the need of a permanent naval reserve,

recommends that each battalion be made

each battalion be furnished a torpedo
boat, a converted yacht armed with mod

cutter or whaleboat pattern"
In reference to the defence of the i'm

CUBA'S FATE
Is Now Being Decided by the
Peace Commissioners.
Paris Newspapers Seem Anxious to
Promote SPANS Cause.
Enicayoring to influence Americans TO Re-
linquish the Philippines.

Paris, Oct. 10.-The United States
peace commission held two sessions
today. They were devoted to acnuir-
ing and weighing information relative
to all the questions involved in the
matters under the immediate consid-
GRAFTON of the commissioners. 1t is be-
discussed relate to Cuba and the ad-
justment of debt of that island.
The Paris newspapers show evidence
of anxiety in behalf of the Spanish
cause. lie Journal Des Debats on Sat
urday said the Philippine question was
being considered by the joint commits
sion. and the Matin on Sunday followe !
with n similar statement, alleging that
an understanding regarding Cuba and
Porto Rico was possible, las the United
States claims everything and Spain re-
fuses nothing" but the difficulty arises
on the question of the Philippine is
lands. The Matin closed its remarks
on the subject Of expressing the belief
that I'VE shall see the republic. which
has just shown herself to be SO brave
and strong, show herself also gener-
ous.'
commissions have not yet considered
the Philippine question. the Paris
papers appear to Americans as making
the statement that the Philippines are
under consideration in order to be IN
position to adjure the American com
mission to treat Spain generously.
The Gaulois, this morning, reviews
the political situation and draws the
conclusion that between the alleged
Republican purposes Of expansion and
the Democratic opposition thereto.
President Mckinley and the United
States commission will be inspired af-
ter all with the sentiments of gener-
osity which are the honor of victorious
nations
The keynote of these expressions
seems to have been sounded by Span
ish diplomat to an American here. last
week, the diplomat saying that the
United States should be generous TO
Spain. That remark and the utter
ances Of the French press give to each
other added significance.
A dispatch from Madrid, this morn
ing. says the cost of the Cuban and
the Philippine campaigns will exceed
5000, 100000 Desetas.

The leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1895-1905, 1898-12-28

We were on a trip to the Shady
Grove community on Topisaw the
other day, and while enjoying the hos
pitalities of the home of Mrs. Ben Nc
Cullough, we were informed that her
son Joe, Prof. Hathorn and "Rob," the
eolored man, were out 'possum hunting
the previous night and caught the big
gest 'possum in all possumdom. We
began to enquire if the possum was
yet alive and were informed that he
was, and they were only waiting for
"Rob" to come and dress it. We pro-
ceeded to inform all parties present
that if there was anything on this
round earth that we were more fond of
than 'possum, we had never struck its
trail; that we had no dog to "tree"
'possums, and if we had we would GER
tainly go hunting and catch big one
like theirs: that fondness for 'possum
seemed to run in our family, and as far
back as we were able to trace our an
cestry, without single exception, they
all loved possum Miss Meta, noble
girl that she is, suggested that we take
the possum home with us, but we told
her that we didn't want to deprive the
family of any luxuries whatever; but,
good girl, she kept ON insisting and
after mature deliberation we finally
yielded and decided to worry along
with him some how. So we managed
to get home with him, and when he
was dressed, fenced in with yam pota-
toes and baked, and we had taken our
accustomed position at the table. we
could the better appreciate the story
we once heard of an old darky. He
had been without meat for quite a
while and ON sitting down to his table
where there was large, fat, nicely
baked 'possum that he had caught on
the previous night, feeling sorter re-
ligious like, ne called to his wife and
said, Betsy, if you'll make de chilluns
have demselves I'll ak de blessin'."
Reverently he bowed his head and
exclaimed, BLESS de Laud, how times
am changin'r' s.
