SENATOR HoAR.
Will Be rendered the Post Of Em-
bassador to Great Britain.

OaSSaOOT TO 11cAC ox1C41ns
NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-A special to
the Times from Washington says:
1t is understood that President Nc
Kinley has decided to offer the post of
ambassador to the Court of st. James,
made vacant by the appointment of Mr..
Hay as Secretary of State, to Senator
Hoar. The President is very anxious 20
have him accept the post. He thinks
that Mr.. Hoar would maintain the lofty
standards established at that court by
such ambassadors as Lowell and Bay
ard
Senator Hoar is considered learned, is
diplomat by nature and long training.
tactful and gracious. The only thing
that stands in the way of his accept
ance is his own health, which has not
been very strong for some time. His
friends think, however, that he is
strong enough for the duties of the
post, and believe that he will soon be
in excellent physical condition.
Mr.. Hoar is, outside of his own quail
tiles, an ideal man in the estimation of
the President His mission to London
would create a vacancy that could and
would be filled acceptably by the Sec
retary of the Navy, Long, whose friends
are anxious to so round out his career
by long and unchallenged seat in the
Senate. 1t is an understood thing that
the President is especially pleased by
the manner in which he has conducted
the war, in which so much was accom-
plished by American seamen, and is
anxious to promote any plans that may
lead to a seat in the Senate for the
Secretary of the Navy.

MAXIMO GOMEZ.
Reported to Have Resigned as Cen
erel of the Cuban Army.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept 13.-An
uncontradicted report was received by
General Lawton last night that Gen
eral Maxine Gomez, the insurgent
Commander-in-Ch Chief, has rendered his
resignation of the command of the Gu
ban army to the Cuban Government at
Camaguey, and that it has been ac-
cepted.
Gomez, it appears, has been protest
ing against the Cuban Government
yielding the political affairs of the ISL
and to the Americans, and the ex-
planation for resigning was his disap-
proval of passive submission to condi-
tions tending to the practical retire
ment of the Cuban Republic, as such,
and the establishment of the absolute
dominion of the United States
Generals Cebreco, Castillo, Pedro, Pc
reZ and other insurgent leaders have
turned over their commands to General
Lawton. General Perez has 5000 men
in the vicinity of Guantanamo, which
which will be disband this week by Or
der of General Castillo. There is now
a general desire on the part of the Gu
ban army to disband, as the insurgents 5
have learned that the question of their
back pay will not be considered by the
Americans.

DISARMAMENT PROCEEDINGS.
WHILE MCKINLEY CONCURS IN
SENTIMENTS OF THE CZAR,
He Has Not as Yet Named Repre-
sentatives to Attend the
Conference.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-President
Mckinley has not named representa-
tives of the United tSates to attend the
conference projected by the Gar for
the purpose of securing a general dis
armament of the great Powers Of the
world In the answer returned by him,
however, to the invitation extended by
the Russian Minister of Foreign At
fairs which was transmitted by En-
bassador Hitchcock, the President ex-
pressed his concurrence in the serti-
ments set forth in the Russian note,
to have the United States represented
by some person.
AS yet it is not possible to make a
selection, for it remains for the rus
sian Government to say whether or
not it regards the responses made by
the Governments invited to participate
as sufficinet to warrant the holding of
the conference. 1t is not believed at
the State Department that the send
ing of such a delegate would commit
the United States Government to any
certain line Of policy beyond that spe-
officially set forth in the call, namely,
to engage to limit armament to certain
proportions. In that case our Government
would not even be called upon to make
any change in it's establishment, for it
is believed that with extra troops
called forward by the war and still re-
tanned in the military service, the quota
that would be permitted the United
States would be far in excess of the
requirements, supposing it is fixed in
proportion to the least number of SOL
diers that any of the great European
military Powers would insist upon re-
tanning as absolutely essential for pure
ly police service

A PISCATORIAL CONUNDRUM.
How a Twelve-FoOt Fish Was Cap
tured with q Crowbnr Down
i'm Massachusetts.

Daniel A. Buckley, of Cambridge,
bad an exciting experience at his sum-
mer home at tAnnisquam the other day,
which resulted in the capture of 12-
foot fish, the name of which is at pres
ent unknown, says the Boston Tran
script. The knowledge of specialists
is to be called in to determine to what
species the fish belongs. Mr.. Buckley
is engaged in building cottage on the
beach at Annisquam. He was superin-
tending the work, when his attention
was drawn to something struggling in
shallow water. Two of his men, armed
with crowhars, rushed into the water
and belabored the unknown thing with
might and main, the doughty Daniel
directing their efforts from the beach.
The fish was shllfully guided into
still shallower water and IA shots from
a revolver were put into his body.
Finally line was attached to its tail
and after a fight of two hours 1t was
hauled out. Mr.. Buckley describes it
as 12 feet long, with sharp snout one
foot long. Back of the head the body
is barrel-shaped, and it tapers grace
fully to the tail which is powerful and
capable of executing great damage.
Although there were many men in the
crowd which gathered who had fol-
lowed the sea, none could tell the
name of the fish.

HABITS OF THE CAT.
It's Actions Show 1t Ia q Solitary AMI
NAL by Nature and Free
from Greediness.

All the cats habits show it to be by
nature solitary animal. Even in early
life, when family ties bring out the
instinct of aassociation, this is ap-
parent. If you compare the play of
puppies with that of kittens you will
find that in one case companionship
of some kind Is an essential, for if a
puppy has no playmate of his own
species he will try to make use of the
nearest biped; whereas a cork or bit
of string is all that is necessary to
satisfy the requirements of the kitten.
The way in which the cat takes it's food
is q sure sign that in its natural state it
is not in the habit of associating with
greedy companions, says Wild Traits in
Tame Animals.
When given something to eat 1t first
carefully smells the morsel, then takes
it in deliberate and gingerly way
and sits down to finish 1t at leisure
There is none of that inclination TO
snatch hastily at any food held before
1t which we observe even in well-trained
dogs, nor does cat seem in any hurry
to stow its goods in the one placewhere
thieving rivals cannot interfere with
them. Indeed, no greater contrast in
natural table manners can be observed
anywhere than when we turn from the
kennel or the pigsty and watch the
dainty way in which cat takes it's
meals. That n cat allows people to
approach it while it is feeding without
showing jealousy proves that 1t does
not attribute 10 human beings like
tastes with its own.

THE YANKEE DuDE'LL DO.

When Cholly swung his golf stick. on the

Or knocked the tennis ball across the net,
With his bangs done up in cunning little
kinks
When he wore the tallest collar he could
get.
Oh, it was the fashion then
To impale him on the pen
To regard him as a being made OF putty
through and through; Fl
But his racquet's laid away.
He is roughing it-to-day,
And heroically proving that the Yankee
dude'll do.
When Algy. as some knight Of old arrayed,
Was the leading figure at the 'fawncy
ball."
We loathed him for the silly part he played.
He was set down as a monkey-that was
all!
Oh. we looked upon him then
AS unfit to class with men,
As one whose heart was putty, and whose
brains were made of glue
But he's thrown his cane away,
And he grasps a gun to-day.
While the world beholds him. knowing thai
the Yankee dude'll do.
When Clarence cruised about upon his
yacht,
Or drove out with his footman through
the TIfk,
His mamma. It was generally thought
Ought to have him In her keeping after
dark!
Oh, we rtdiculed him then,
We impaled him on the pen.
We thought he was effeminate, we dubbed
him Sissy" too
But he nobly marched away
He is eating pork to-day,
And heroically proving that the Yankee
dude'll do.
How they hurled themselves against the
angry foe.
In the jungle and the trenches on the hill
When the word to charge was given. every
dude was on the go
He was there to die, to capture OF TO kill
Oh, he struck his fevel when
Men were called upon again
To preserve the ancient glory of the old red
white and blue!
He has thrown his spats away.
He Is wearing spurs to-day,
And the world will please take notice tina
the Yankee dude'll do!
