GERMANY AND RECIPROCITY.
State Department uniformed as to
HoIIcbcn's instructions.

Washington. Dee. 26.-The British
ewspapers. il is said NJ the state de-
partment, are far ahead of the depart
ment itself in getting news of the in
structions Of the German ambassador
to Washington respecting the initia-
ton Of the new tariff negotiations. The
department is not avarc of the ma
ture of the Instructions with which
the ambassador is charged.
1t had been supposed that ultimate
" the German government would
take advantage Of the reciprocity
clauses of the tariff act to seek TO
enter into some such arrangement for
mutual concessions in tariff changes
MS was reached between the United
States and France last summer. There
had been some~eNchanges on the sub
iect, but they can scarcely be said to
have reached the dignity of full nego-
tiations. IT is possible, now that the
ambassador has been in consultation
at Berlin with his government, that
he. is better prepared than he was be
fore he left Washington TO embark
upon formal negotiations. The fourth
clause of the reciprocity section of the
tariff act allows considerable latitude
ON articles of import, even sugar, and
the French government has sought TO
take advantage of its provisions 10 en-
large its reciprocity arrangement with
the United States. The agreement en-
.ered into last summe is very limit
ed. being made under the third sec
ton Of the act. but the negotiations
now in progress have in view II con-
siderable enlargement of the conces-
siuns under section !.

matter. l thought you gentlemen
would get onto it."
He said he had never complained
to the secretary of war as to the con-
dition of the beef, but had asked that
the supply be stopped.
General Miles stated the first plans
for sending troops 10 Cuba were not
his, AS he was opposed to sending
troops there until Cervera's feet was
located.
lie said the destruction Of Cervera's
feet settled that problem. He want
ed TO operate with Il small force
against the Spanish by h~arassing
them during the sickly season, aiding
the Cubans and not endangering the
lives Of his own force. lie also at first
favored taking Puerto Rico TO pre-
vent the Spanish from using that as
a base OF operations. General Miles
gave details OF the Puerto Rican expe-
dition's organization and obstacles
encountered, concluding with his
opinion OF camp sites.
General Wesley IL. Merritt was the
first witness of the afternoon. lie be-
gan his testimony by a description of
the operations around Manila prior To
its capture. Owing to the smallness
Of his force he said the army was com
PEELED 10 operate along the sea front
In cooperation with the navy. Had
there been "A larger American force on
land the city could have been taken
from the high ground inland, but this
was t~actically impossible without
leaving our base at the mercy of both
Spaniards and insurgents. The city's
defcnses were good. The Spaniards
had excellent arms and plenty of am
munition. All they lacked was sand"
The engagement lasted not over two
hours. The army had both S~paniards
and insurgents to contend with.
"The insurgents were very anxious
10 take part in the attack" said Cen
eral Merritt, "but they were not noti-
fled when the attack would be made,
as | was sur the entrance OF the Fill
pinos into the city would mean I'M
necessary bloodshed and some loot
ing"
General Merritt said the American
losses were about 1870 officers and men
killed and wounded. No accurate ac-
count Of the Spanish loss was ever OBJ
tainable. The Americans captured
over $4,000 stands of modern arms,
and the Spanish loss was known to be

New Years customs in the United
States are evidently tho result OF social
evolution OF that law the scientists call
natural selection and survival Of tho fit

early immigrants brought or devised Its
own customs, and those best suited to the
nature of the country and genius of tho
people have become general, while all 9th

easy to trace tho origin OF tho Knickor-

Caps and Aprons.

Philadelphia Press: There is moth
ing more important, SO far as the elc-
gance of n house is concerned, than to
have the maids neatly dressed.
1t is fatal to let domestics wash their
clothes, or part of them. at home. If
this is the ease, there will be a dread
full lack of clean aprons and the cotton
dresses will be made to do duty for n
fortnight. All laundries will take serv-
ants washing at "a certain sum per
week. In the country II can often
get this done cheaply, especially if the
maids will wash their w collars and
cuffs and caps. In a town il costs
pore, but il is money well spent.
