TIDES IN WELLS.

A well known professor of hydros- tatics, writing in the Golden Penny, says: "I assure you it is a simple, so- Der fact, which I have tested myself, that in all the deeper aTtesian DOres there is a distinct tide, corresponding exactly with the ocean tides, except that the process is reversed, and caus- ing the water to vary very greatly in height in the bore at flood and ebb. The time of grea atest flow in an artesian well corresponds with full ebb in the ocean nearest. This is how I account for the phenomenon. When the moon is at it's height the moon is exerting it's pull not only on the sea but on the land. This naturally tends to take the pressure off the sand well which lies at one or two thousand feet below the sur face, and at the bottom of which the water lies. Thus the pressure on the water is lesSened and the flow slackens On the other hand, at low tide in the ocean the moons pull is relaxed and the earth settles back, and yy produc- ing greater pressure on the water-bear- ing strata down below squeezes the water up exactly as you might squeeze sponge.

Rumors affecting the local newspaper situation continue to be heard. The latest is that few prominent "exes"- gentlemen who have held territorial offices or confidential relations with territorial officers-are thinking of em- barking in journalism to the extent of putting up'' for a journalist who has made a noteworthy success in Arizona and with whom they have long enjoyed confidential relations. This is a wide field, and paper such as this combina- tion of talent undoubtedly would pro-. duce could hardly fail to be successful.

The protest of the former Hawaiian queen against the acquisition by Uncle Sam of the crown lands in her native islands is an absurdity. Crown lands belong to the successors of the crown sovereignty. They belong in this case to the Hawaiian government, and may or may not through that ownership pass, with the acquired islands, to the possession of the United States. The doubts on the latter point may have to be decided by the courts Hawaii, unlike Cuba or Porto Rico has had a sovereign government of it's own with out Interruption, and this authority may he expected to possess a fee sim pie to public lands, just the same as New York and some other American stAes now have clear title to large

GARCIA'S DETECTION.
Shafter Does Not Advise the Govern
ment On Important Matters.

Washington, July 22-The war de-
partment is still in official ignorance of
the action of Garcia and his army at
Santiago and the resignation of that
general. 1t is considered singular that
General Shafter has not made a report
to the department by telegraph, but he
has so Ear shown little disposition to
acquaint the department with the state
of affairs at Santiago, unless called
upon by direct inquiry by the secre-
tary of war. Thus il was not known
at the department officially that Cen
eral Wood has been created military
commander of Santiago, although the
fact would seem to be one of sufficient
importance to justify its mention in a
cable dispatch
Regarding General Garcia's defec-
ton, it is noticeable that the officials
of the war department have n good deal
of apprehension over the outlook It
is not doubted that he either has taken
or will take some such action as that
reported, for all the information that
has come TO the department UP to this
time seems to indicate dissatisfaction
on the part of the Cuban commander
at the attitude assumed by General
Shaiter. However, as the latter is act
ing strictly in accordance with the
published directions of the president
in maintaining the status quo of
Santiago so far as it relates to the
municipal administration the blame
for a rupture, if one ensues, cannot be
placed entirely upon General Skaters
shoulders

Insurgent Leader Issues An Absurd
Proclamation.

Hongkong, July 23.-The Hongkong
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
The latest mail from Manila reports
that the rebels have lately suffered
several reverses, and have lost terri
tory south of Malate.
General Aguinaldo has issued an alb
surd proclamation, dealing chiefly with
official insignia. He, as president of
the Philippine ministry. is to wear a
gold collar, with a gold triangular
pendant. engraved with the sun and
three stars. and to carry gold whistle,
as Well as a stick with a gold handle
and tassel of gold. The badges of in
Vulnerable officers are infinitely dealt
with in the proclamation.
Mr.. Williams, the United States con-
sui at Manila, has written as follows
to Mr.. Wildman, the American consul
at Hongkong: IF the United States
would be the suzerain and protecting
power, Aguinaldo would hoist our flag
and look 10 US for honor and emolu-
ment, which would be liberal and last
ing, and would be followed by the
largest measure of solid advantage to
his people"

RUPTURE UNAVOIDABLE.
Severance of Relations With the
Cuban Army.

Washington, July 22.-The war de-
partment has not yet been informed
that General Skaters Cuban allies
have quit the American lines for the
reasons sent out in the, printed letter
by General Garcia, but it is scarcely
doubted that such is the case, for the
friction has been growing more pro-
nounced every day since the fall of
Santiago and it is feared that a sever
ance Of relations cannot be longer
avoided.
That the Cuban junta is still hopeful
of avoiding such a measure is evil
denced by the confidence shown by
Senior QueSada, one of the Cuban Legal
ton here. in an amicable settlement.
The letter written by General Garcia
was read and discussed at the cabinet
meeting and the opinion was expressed
that it evidently was based upon a
wrong conception of the purposes and
motives of our people. These, it was
said, should long ago have been fully
explained to him and to all of the
Cuban leaders. If it was true, as had
been reported, a member of the cabinet
said. that Garcia was not invited to
participate in the ceremonies attending
the raising of the American flag over
Santiago, it was a mistake. Every
thing reasonable, he said, should be
done to win and keep the friendship
of the inSurgent CubanS and they
should be made to know that the only
purpose Of the United States in waging
a war against Spain was to secure for
the people of Cuba relief from the OPP
preston of Spanish rule and a stable
and stationary government established
by the people themselves. OF course,
it was added, it is not the intention of
this government to drive the Spaniards
out and then formally turn the island
over to the insurgents or to any other
particular class or faction. This gov
eminent had never such a purpose, but
on the contrary, it was well understood
that a stable government for and by
all the people of Cuba had been the
only purpose and end sought to be
attained. The details incident to the
establishment of such a government, it
was said, have never been discussed
by the cabinet at any great length,
but there could be no difference of
opinion as to the general plan. All the
people of the island, it was declared,
must be given an opportunity to eX-
press their views as to the character
of legislation under which they were
to live, and also as to the men who
should make and execute the laws.
The insurgents of Cuba certainly could
not consistently ask for more than this.
Secretary Alger stated late in the day
that there was no foundations for re-
ports that the Cubans had been cut off
from rations. Up to the present time.
not a word has been heard from Cen
eral ShafEr concerning the letter Cen
eral GardA is said TO have written
him and pending official advices, Sec
rotary Alger will not discuss the re-
ported clash between the Cuban and
American commanders.

London. July pa special dispatch
from Madrid says:
The arrival of General Polavieja has in
creased the persistent talk of a cabinet
crisis. The queen regent is credited with
exciaiming: Thank GodI' when she knew
he was coming.
Opinions differ as to whether a semi
military cabinet would make for peace
or for continuance Of the war; but all
are agreed that il would at any rate put
an end 10 the present policy.
The belief is current in Madrid that the
delay in Commodore Watson's starting is
due to a desire to give General Polavieja
time to form cabinet and sue for peace.
Special dispatches this morning to the
Times, the Daily News and the Standard
agree that no real step has been taken
toward peace, and, moreover, that the
idea that the capitulation of Santiago was
such a preliminary to peace must be
abandoned
The ministerial organ, Ell COrreo. says:
The government is satisfied that the ma
ton desires peace. but if the Washington
government should raise difficulties. Spain
will cease to seek a pacific solution.
The statement made by Senior GamazO,
the Spanish minister of public instruction,
to the effect that peace. honorable to the
Spanish army, will shortly be concluded,
is regarded in London more as an indica-
ton of personal opinion or hope than as
rejecting general decision of the cab
met. Nothing showing any move in the
direction of peace has been received here
from any quarter likely to be well inform
ed on the subject.

Tomorrow General Garcia will issue
a decree. authorizing all Cubans who

items and country homes by the Span
iards. and who have taken refuge for

ing them of protection by his forces.
He has added like permission to those
in his ranks who were recruited from
the farm lands. and who were employed
in the fields at the outbreak of the
war.
Altogether. it must be confessed that
General Garcia's attitude is ineXplic-
able. His permission to the men in
His ranks to go back to work on the
farms is construed to mean an effort
to disband his forces. But this may
not be altogether justified. 1t is GER
