Only n taIry Story.

New York, Sept. 6--The story from
Havana that Gen. Luis n. Pando, the
former commander of the Spanish
troops at Manzanillo, had secretly fed
from Cuba on the French steamship
Notre Dame du Salut, for Spain, with
$4,000, 900 francs, was proved to be un-
founded to-day when the Ward liner
Philadelphia came to her dock on the
East river front. Pando was the
first Of the AZ passengers who ar
rived from Havana on the vessel to
land. He was plainly dressed and
wore nothing to indicate his high rank
in the Spanish army. He looks more
like a Frenchman than Spaniard,
being short and stout and wearing a
thick black beard He claims to speak
no English and after arranging for
the removal of five pieces of baggage,
drove to a hotel, where he engaged q
suite of rooms.

Washington, Sept. Gone OF the
first matters to which the president is
now expected to give his attention is
the selection of nine members of the
non-p partisan commission which, under
the act of congress of June 9, 1898, is
to collect information and consider
and recommend legislation to meet
the problems presented by labor,
agriculture and capital. This body is
to consist of 10 persons, five of whom
are to be mem bers of the senate, five
of the house and mine other per-
sons" who shall fairly represent the
different industries and employ
ments. The senators and represent
atives already have been APP.
pointed. For the positions to be
filed by the president, there are
on file at the white house about
1875 applications, embracing the names
of many well-known labor leaders and
Others prominent in the discussion of
questions incidental to the betterment
of the farmer and laboring man. The
lifetime of the commission is to be two
years, the salary of the members SO, 800
per annum, and its powers and duties
are comprehensive in scope. Public
hearings may be given if necessary
and authority is granted to visit any
part of the United States for the pur.
pose of securing the information re-
quired to make its report to congress.
Senator Kyle, who, by virtue of his
office, is expected to be chairman of
the commission, has already indicated
to the president that he would be
ready to call the body together for or
ganization by September 10, and the
president gave him to understand the
personnel of the commission would be
completed by that time. Among those
who have been mentioned in connec-
ton with the appointments are ex-
Representative Philips, of Pennsyl.
vania, former chairman of the house
labor committee; Mr.. Sargent, of the
Locomotive Firemen's Brotherhood;
ex-Representative Farquhar, of New

LOCATING AN ORCHARD.
A Light, Pervious Clay Loan, " 18th
Some Lime In IL, Is Certainly
the best Soil.

The site for the orchard on the farm
must be selected from such lands as
make up the farm, taking the location
of the buildings and the lay Of the land
into consideration. OF course, 1t is
impossible on every farm TO supply the
best conditions for fruit culture, but
a little care in the selection of the To-
cation will make a difference In the
quantity and quality of the fruit.
When it can be had, deep soil-the
deeper the better-as the greater the
depth of the naturally drained soil the
better it is adapted for fruit.
1t Is a waste of time and money to
set out fruit trees in a wet, heavy, i'm
pervious soil that is undrained. On the
other hand, an orchard growing on
high, dry, exposed situations will not
thrive as it should. The trees may live,
but in many seasons the fruit will not
mature promptly, and what does ma
ture will be of an inferior quality. One
advantage of deep soil is that the
trees growing in it are better able TO
withstand drought.
1t is true that in many localities land
too rocky or broken to be cultivated to
advantage may be planted with fruit
trees and be made TO return a better
profit than would otherwise lie posi-
bic. At the same time the best fruit
and that which brings the best re-
turns is grown Ia deep, rich soil. kept
in good condition.
The fact should be considered that
an orchard will occupy the ground for
number of years without change
more so than any other crop grown on
the farm.
In localities where late spring frosts
appear with fearful effect, an eastern
or southern exposure should always be
avoided. A northern slope gives a
colder and later soil and thus retards
the blossoming until later period
and in this pay reduces the danger OF
injury from late spring frosts.
A light, pervious clay loan, with
some lime in it, with natural drainage
is the best for an orchard.
If the orchard can be protected from
the north and west winds, all the be I.
ter. When an orchard Is to be planted
in the fall, the location should be Sc.
lected in good season, in order that II
may be plowed and prepared in proper
condition. As with all other crops
the best results are possible only by
making the necessary preparation and
the giving of proper care.-St. Louis
Republic.

Manila, Sept. GA Hong Kong dep

Philippines and consisting of the best
and richest natives of Panaiy, Man
doro and Mindanao, visited United
States Consul Williams yesterday and
urged that every possible effort be
made for the annexation of the whole
of the Philippine islands. The deputa-
tion declared that all classes, the war
like mountaineers as we'll as those en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits, would
welcome the stars and stripes, and had
resolved never to submit to Spanish or
Tagal rule. They also said there we're
1000 men, many of them armed with
rifles, near Iloilo ready to support the
Americans. They refused to join in
the clamor for independence, which
they consider a mistake and imprac-
ticable. They only wish for annexa-
to the United States.

INSURGENTS ACTIVE.
From Manila They Have Invaded and Cap

Manila, Sept. 8. Several ship loads
of insurgent troops have invaded the
southern islands, with the view of
selling everything possible prior to
the settlement of the peace conditions.
Gen. Rios, the Spanish commander,
with Aotilla of gunboats is acting
energetically, but the insurgents have
captured the outlying islands of Romb-
Ion and Palawan, where they found
treasure to the amount of S42, 900. The
prisoners captured have arrived here.
Delegates from the Hong Kong insur-
gent junta are to have an interview

London, Sept 5-A message fros-
Omdurman, opposite Khartoum, on
the Nile, Nubia, under date of Septem'

The sirdar, Gen. Sir Herbert Kitcb-

ard, captured during the battle, en-
tered Omdurman, the capital of NAH
diam, at four o'clock this afternoon,
at the head of the Anglo-E Egyptian
column, after completely routing the
dervishes and dealing a death blow to
Mahdiam. Roughly our losses were
200, while thousands of the dervishes
were killed and wounded.
Last night the Anglo Egyptian army
encamped at Agatha. eight miles from
Omdurman. The dervishes we're three
miles distant At dawn to-day our
cavalry, patrolling toward omdurman,
discovered the enemy advancing to the
attack in battle array, chanting war
songs. Their front consisted of infan-
try and cavalry, stretched out for
three or four miles. Countless ban
ners futtered over their masses and
the copper and brass drums resounded
through the serried ranks of the saw
age warriors, who advanced unwaver-
ingly with all their old-time ardor.
Their attack developed on our left,
and in accordance with their tradi-
tional tactics, they swept down the
hillside with the design of rushing
our flank. But the whitening fire
maintained for 10 minutes by all our
line frustrated the attempt, and the

a fierce attack. A large force of horse
men, trying to face a continuous
hail of bullets from the Cameron
highlanders, the Lincolnshire regi-
ment and the Soudanese, were literally
swept away, leading to the withdrawal
of the entire body, whose dead strewed
the field. The bravery of the dervishes
can hardly be over-estimated. Those
who carried the flags struggled to
within a few hundred yards of our
fighting line, while the mounted emirs
absolutely threw their lives away in
bold charges.
Defiantly the dervishes planted
their standards and died beside them.
Their dense masses gradually melted

Finally they broke and fed, leaving
the field white with Jibbah-clad

an advance, and our whole force in

the foe into the desert, our cavalry

Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, N. Y,
Sept, 6.-The president and secretary
Of war arrived at Camp Wikof at S:45
Saturday. Maj. Gen. Wheeler and
his staff greeted Mr.. Mckinley, Mr..
Alger and their party on the station
platform. Outside 1000 smart troop
ers of the Third cavalry were drawn
up and the converted yacht Eileen in
the roadstead slowly doomed forth the
presidents salute of 81 guns. Gen.
Wheeler met the president because
Gen. Shafter has touch of
fever and does not feel able to
move from his cot. Besides, Gen.
Shafter is still in detention and
IT would hardly comport with
the discipline of the camp for the com
manding general to disregard the de-
tention rules. Mai Gen. Wheeler was
surrounded by number of his staff.
The carriages, preceded by the cavalry,
wound up the hill to Gen. Wheeler's
headquarters. There the president
took a long view of the wide, treeless
eXpanse, checkered with regimental
camps and hospitals, GASES of canvas

later: 81 think | never saw a hand

that this war had been concluded so
