German Brown Trout.

This is a comparatively new variety
of trout which is nearly OF quite as
good as the native variety, but which
will grow nearly as rapidly as a carp.
1t was introduced into this country
some fifteen years ago. Specimens
were taken of four or five pounds
weight four years after the liberation
of the young fry. A common trout at
that age would not weigh more than a
pound and half. Those who have
waters which they want stocked with
trout should send to the fish commits
sions of their State asking if the Ger
man brown trout can be had. 1t is an
excellent game fish, and should be
bred in many place where it is now un-
known.

Whitewash the Farm Buildings.
The most durable whitewash is that
used by the United States Government
for painting lighthouses. 1t is made Of
three parts fresh Rosendale cement
and two parts of clean fine sand, well
mixed with clean water. 1t must be
kept well stirred when using and the
wall must be wet with clean water just
before applying the whitewash, which
should be as thick as it can be con-
veniently spread with whitewash
brush. A good, double whitewash is
made by shaking half bushel of fresh
lime with boiling water, dissolve
pounds of fine salt in water and thor
ough1y mix this with the slaked lime
and strain it through fine sieve of
coarse cloth, add half pound of pow
dered Spanish whiting and one pound
Of clean glue, which has been dissolved
in warm water, add to this five gallons
of clean hot water and stir it well ever

and well mixed 4e411 - or
day or two so it will become well sea
soned, and when using it keep it
thinned with hot water to a consis-
tency that can be readily applied with
white-wash brush and spread it while
quite hot.

London, May 3O-A dispatch to the STAN

has been received here from Cuba that a
portion of the army of Gen. Maxine Co
mez, consisting of 800 cavalry and 800 in
fantry on Saturday at daylight, attacked,
captured and held for two hours the town
of Remedies. in the province of Santa
Clara.
The Cubans were under the command
Of Garlic, and the object of the attack
was TO capture a supply of provisions sent
three days before for the Spanish troops,
who numbered 5000 men,
THE Cubans looted the place of every
thing edible, which was sent to Gen. Go
mez as well as 30 Mauser rifles and ga
000 rounds of ammunition under an escort
of fifty cavalry and 100 infantry.
THE loss of the Cubans was four killed
and three wounded. The Spaniards lost 80
killed and 63 wounded. The Cuban troops
had eaten nothing but juita' for weeks,
and had no bread or coffee. Consequently
they are reveling in the canned beef. sar-
dimes, coffee and other edibles of the cap
ture.
Two hours after the town was taken
the Spanish troops, who had been rein
forced, returned and recaptured Rene

ANGLO-AMERICAN ALLIANCE.
Claim That Preliminary Steps Have

London, May 30-The Washington cor

have just learned from high authority in
the state department chat important pre-
liminary steps toward an Anglo American
alliance have already been taken How
far these negotiations if they can yet be
called that, have proceeded, it is not easy
to ascertain, for, naturally, strictest Sc
crecy is maintained, but my information
is that the preliminary suggestions have
been made and that the subject of such
an alliance is practically before the two
governments in some shape.
According to my authority the feat
ures of the proposed alliance now being
considered are these: Great Britain is to
recognize the Monroe doctrine, to attempt
no increase of her territorial positions IN
the Western hemisphere, and to ndorse
the American construction of that doc
trine. The United States is to build the
Nicaragua canal and Great Britain is to
have the use of il In time of war The
United States is 10 have ali the territory

threatened. The United States is 10

provided that all matters in dispute, not
involving the Monroe doctrine or the

non-partisan committee. The existing
understanding bearing upon the relations
between the Two governments on the great

States are to be given the use of the We'll

Governors Give AIger Their Views on
the Raising of the Regiments.

the Raising of the Regiments
Washington, May 2s-About twen-
ty governors of states and terri
tories have replied to Secretary AL
gers kilograms, asking for their views re-
gardlng the filling of the present volunteer
regiments TO their maximum strength be-
fore beginning the formation of new organ
izations. Some of these indicate a prefer
epce for the recruiting of entirely new reg
iments as under the first call, leaving the
present organizations with the number of
men now contained in them, though prac-
-tlcally all promise the government any
amount of troops that are wanted 1t is
the Presidents desire, however, that the
organizations already formed shall be
hlIed to their maximum strength as the
law provides and this policy will be car
ried out in recruiting under the second
call. The apportionment to the states
mas been made up, but not yet been given
TO the public.
through urgent representa- lions to Sec
rotary Alger, some of the states were
permitted, under the first call. to furnish
greater number of troops than they were
legally entitled TO on the basis of popu-
Iatlon. Consequently in raising the $4,000
men under the second call, these inequali-
TIES VIII De remedled as far as practical
bic, with the result that some of the
states may not be called on to furnish any
of the men needed. This course probably
may give rise to discontent in states
where men are anxious to serve, but it is
regarded as the only fair way in which
to proceed.
Adjt. Gen. Corbin said to-day that it
had been definitely decided 80 use about
| $4,000 of the volunteers to be raised under
the new call in filing out deficient repi-
ments already organized under the old
call. 1t will take about that number, he
thought to fill each company up to the
maximum limit of 106 men.
The remaining 25001 would be organized
into regiments of three battalions each
and distributed among the states and ter
ritories in exactly the same proportion as
under the first call. No cavalry, how
ever would be accepted, and only a very
limited number of artillery
