ems who pass steal sly glances at him out
OF the talis OF their eyes. There he has
stopped and dismounted. He is STOPPING
at the horses front feet. See. He is buck
ling short strap about them just over the
ankles, thus hobbling the horse He leaves
him thus without tying and goes on into
the store This we learn is the way that
all Peruvian horses. those In carriages as
Well as those without, are tied. There are
no hitching posts. tie rings or horse weights
in Lima, and 1t is police regulation that
every horse left alone on the street must
be hobbled. The straps used are so short
that they can be easily carried in the
pocket, and the drivers of carts hobble
their mules by tying the lines about their
front feet.
Women Who Ride Astride.
Much Of the peddling Of Lima is done
upon horseback, and in many cases the
reddlers are Indian women. Nearly all
of the milk of the city Is carried
about in cans tied TO the two sides of a
horse, upon the back Of which, with her
legs straddling the horses neck, sits a
bronzed-faced woman, dressed in bright
calico and wearing broad -brimmed Pana-
ma hat. When the milk woman reaches
house where she has a customer she slides
down over the horses neck and lifts one
of her cans out of the pocket In which It
is fastened and carries 1T into the house
The bread wagon of Lima is horse with
two panniers full of leaves, and MANY of
the vegetables are peddled by women who
ride astride. The street cars are drawn hv
horses, but where there is a slight grade
az extra horse or helper Is hitched to the
side of the team. This horse is not driven
as in the United States, but ridden by q
boy in a saddle. who has long spurs with
which he keeps the horse up to his work
All sorts of things are peddled on ,ionkeys
ridden by men or boys, who sit just In front
of the tails of the beasts with their backs
against the loads OF goods they are bedding
There are no huckster wagons or carts. and
the drays of the city are long two wheeled
affairs, each pulled by three mules abreast

Working for Ell PasO.

General Passenger Agent Turner OF
the Texas & Pacific is wide awake
man, and has by no means forgotten
this END CT the lire, eve if it IL long
distance from Dallas. He is about TO
improve the car service by putting q
CHI air car on between Fort Worth and
Ell Paso, and is to make special
feature of advertising the town in the
new folders the road Is getting out
each month. Mr.. Turner has arrang-
ed with DR.. Yandell to give Ell Paso an
extended write-up, and if aoy one is
able to do thai with easy grace it is
DR.. Yandell. Oae solid page OF the
last folder COTTON out by the L. u +.
passenger department Is given to Ell
Pa o; and not merely from MIR. Turner'S
words, but from his acts IL is evlde mt
that in the L. & p. Ell PasO has an ap-
preciative friend.
Mr.. Turner is in correspondence
WITH connecting lines relating to the
Sunset Limited, and rather thinks that
the service may continue until Msy L.
The TRAIN has proven marked sue
cess, and will Ger ainly be cont nued
an other season. While the rush west
wards has decreased, eastern people
will shortly begin turning their faces
homeward, and the eastbouud Sunsets
will be heavily patronized. Mr.. Tur-
err says the increase Of.passenger bust
ness over the T. q P. generally has
been very marked, and the promises
for the future are encouraging.

Hollands New Invention.

John P. Holland, the inventor of the
submarine wonder bearing his name.
has new kind Of torpedo-bcat; which
has been highly approved by the
United States government. 1t is q
submarine torpedo-boat. which can
with impunity stand up against the
biggest bsttle-ship aHoat. and setd it
to the bottom with dynamite or a tor
pedo.
Inventor Hollands plan calls for a
ship about 220 feet long, with a speed
of Twenty-Five krots. It will have a
turret with Is or 16 inch q NOR, or as
heavy as desired. The turret will have
several rapid-fire guns, and will be the
only point the opposing ship of war can
attack.
All the rest II the ship will he sub
merged about feet-deep enough to
be safe from any projectile. In the
bow and stern, and if necessary on pnrt
and starboard, the torpedo DO 1t will be
supplied with dynamite guns and tor
DedO tubes

The PROGRAM.

Here is the administration pro.
gramme for the disposition of the pend.
ing trouble with Spain. 1t seems to
lead inevitably to war, unless, indeed
Spain makes some object conces'
siOns:

Cuba in the senate, and the profound
impression caused by Senator Proctor
was repeated.
Second-Senator Thruston discussed
the same subject Thursday.
Third-On Friday the official report

bv the cabinet.
F. urth-On the same day the pres

Sagasta cabinet and to demand an
indemnity, the sum to be fixed Fri
day.
Fifth-The president on Monday will
transmit to congress the report Of tie
court of inquiry, note the fact that be
has communicated with Spain, 'snd
submit Spsin's answer, which is ex-
pected to arrive in the meantime.

Gen, Lee Mad

General Lee il as mad as hornet.
His mail has been tempered with quite
frequently of lac, cesDite his many
complaints to the Havana authorities.
A letter was sent to Captain Stan,
wood of the yacht Anita, from New
York few days ago, in care of Gen
eral Lee. The letter referred only to
dispatch boat business, but the au-
thorities could not know that, and fig
ured they could get large returns in
the way of information from it's con-
tents. General Lee received the en-.
velopes today, both torn open, With
this Inscription on the back of the out
err one: "Recivida de New York en-
la norma que presenta" (received from
New York in the present condition
The envelope had never been through

abse nee of back stampor any other local
stamp. 1t bad been taken to the pal

Will be Neutral.
European governments which have
corse nted to use their moral influence
to induce the United States to submit
the facts of the Maine disaster to an in
ternatiopal court OF experts for q fresh
investigation have also notified Spain
that if the American government re-
fuses to consent to arbitration and war
epsues, Spain must fight alone. This
Is the actual situation. While Austria
ard Germany are hostile in spirit
neither government is willing to go
beyond the point of moral suasion in
its friendly efforts.
The immense sweep of American
naval preparations for war has i'm
pressed the European statesmen, and
1t is now realized that the United
States are getting ready to deal with
Spain without asking permission of
any ether government, in spite of the
Boosting of the Spapiards and the
threats of the Spanish press. The re-
ports made by Spanish naval COM
manders to the Minister of Marine
show that it will be impossible for
Spain to send squadron across the
Atlantic which could arrive on the
American coast with any coal on
board.

Run Away.

Louis Hammer and John Caldwell
started down North Oregonstreet today
frum where they were working on Mr..
Aronstsiu's new residence in Mr.. HI M
mer's business wagon. Suddenly the
horse took fright and ran away. Mr..
Hammer gui0ed him as best he could
across the S. p. track and down past
the federal building to Texas street.
But seeing that the animal was beyond
control, Mr.. Hammer turned him dl-
rectly into toe Currie block, against
which the whole outfit went TO smash.
The two men were thrown out, and
the wagon frame broke in two, while
the horse lay kicking his harness 10
pieces in the wreck. Help speedily
came, and Mr. Hammer was found to
nave escaped with a badly jammed and
cut right hand. But Mr.. ALL we'll was
not 30 fortunate. His lett arm Was
disloca ed ami fractured near the
wris.. He was assisted quickly 10
Pollard & Kelly drug store and then
10 DR.. Jus slce's Office where his in
iuries were sttende to MIR. Hammer
said he turned the horse into tie bul d.
ing as he was beyond his control and
though bit that was the best thing to do.
TIE animal escaped injuries of any
account.

Fruit Ruined.

E. Stanhope. veteran Michigan
fruit raiser, has been examining the da-
mage done by yesterday mornings
cold snap, and finds that all the fruit
in the lowlands have been nipped by
the frost and are gone. "See here,'
he said to a HERALD represent tive
today, cutting ff.with his knife q mum.
Der of apple and peach buds from pic k.
ings he held in his hand. See those
black centers in the stem Immediately
beneath the buds? Well, the nerve OF
the incipient fruit has been killed
by the frost, and although the
buds and blossoms may look all right
now, they are dead to q certainty. l
have been down among the orchards
and find the fruit as far as it is out is q
failure. But, this is only in the low
lands. Up on the high lands the frost
did not go, and the fruit there is safe.
Up in Michigan, we never think of SET
ting out fruit on the lowlands, it is al
ways high up"
Mr.. Stanhope feared that the extent
of the damage WIS greater than was
expected
