This large specimen was grown oy
Mrs. Gallant from plants obtained at
the hothonse in Charlotte. .'''''''''While
Georgia is boasting of her millions of
fine peaches, we can't help thinking
why she shouldn't have a rival in
North Carolina and even in CASTOR
county. Mr.. Meek Huffstetler, of Be-
gonia, has placed US under obligations
for some peaches that truly do honor
to the soil and climate of Castor coun-
ty. He grew them on his own farm
from trees now in their third or fourth
year or bearing. The fruit is magni-
ficent in size, three peaches weighing
together more than 19 ounces and
measuring, some of them, 9 inches in
circumference. In coloring, flavor,
sweetness, and richness of taste, and
soundness, they appear to be perfec-
ton itself. Mr.. Huffstetler has his
orchard diagrammed and knows the
nursery name of the different trees
and is thus enabled better to observe
and study their qualities. His finest
fruit grew on his Elberta and Wheat
land trees, but his Foster and Craw-
ford's Early trees bore splendid crops.
From five trees he sold $40 worth OF
fruit, to say nothing of that gathered
from them for home use. Mr.. Charlie
Huffstetler says the Wheatland and
Elberta were finer than any Georgia
peaches he saw in Atlanta at the re-
union, and that it would truly do a
body good to seed the magnificent
fruit hanging on the trees. Mr.. Huff

Mackey had a little fortune of her own,
and her husband borrowed money from
her regularly. He soon began to ab-
sent himself from home, and has been
away for weeks at a time during the
last two years. He told his wife that
he was attending to important legal
cases which would bring him large
fees.
Mrs. Mackey never saw any of the
money he got as fees. Her husband
did not like to live long in any one
house, and since 1891 they have lived
at 1876 West Ninety-ninth street, Al
West Ninety-ninth street, 70 West
1O5th street, 80 East Tenth street, and
they moved about a year ago to the
Catherine apartment house, 226 West
114th street. He claimed that it was
unhealthful to live longer than three
months in any house.
On June Mackey told his wife that
he was going to Washington to attend
to an important case and would be
absent for a long time. During her
absence he packed up all his clothing
and she says he also drew about 81 900
of her money. She heard nothing
from him and could not get any trace
of him in Washington. Acting upon
the advice of her father and Lawyer
John B. Fiske, of So Wall street, she
obtained warrant for the arrest OF
her husband on the charge of aban'
donment, from Justice Mott, in the
Harlem police court. A detective was
detailed to serve the warrant.

Has Selected Some Of His Staff to Accom-
pany Him.


Chicago. April ia special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Gen. Miles will go to Cuba. He has
been very anxious for this duty and
he will take command of the invading
forces. He has selected some of the
members of his field staff. Lieut.. Col.

lie is at present in charge OF the gem
eral quartermaster department in this
city. Gen. Osgood will be the general
commissary. He is at present assist
ant TO the head of the subsistence de-
partment in Washington.
There has been some gossip here
in regard to the statutory prohibition
of the departure of Gen. Miles on duty
in Cuba. There is and never has been
law against the major general COM
manding leaving the country in COM
mand of United States troops. An ofh-
Ger said today: General Miles could
go to China IL he wanted to. or rather.
II ordered there"
Additional orders have been Issued
for the movement of light batteries of
four to six guns. This will have the
effect Of increasing the number OF for
ces and adding to the enlisted force.
The movement of troops on Fridays
orders will necessitate transfers among
western stations for various purposes.
One troop of the Eighth cavalry will
proceed from Fort Meade to Fort Rob
inson; two troops OF the Seventh cav
airy will leave Fort Bayard. N. NJ.
for Fort Duchesne, Utah: one company
of the Fifteenth infantry will go

from Fort Grant will go to Fort Sill

oners at that point.

THE CUBANS ARE SATISFIED.
Congressional Resolutions Recognize tina. they
are Free People,


New York, April 19.-The following
statenent-on the congressional Cuban
resolutions was given out today ut the
Office OF the Cuban junta:
THE resolutions as they stand are
tantamount to the recognition of the
Cuban republic. The declaration is
that the people OF Cuba are free and
independent, while the Cuban people
owe allegiance only to the republic
of Cuba which they have established
and maintained by force OF arms. The
only object of the instruction was
the independence of the Cubans. This
is provided for by the resolutions. The
Cubans asked that before Intervention
there be recognition OF independence.
This was also provided for by the res
buttons. Their desire to run their own
government free from coercion is pro-
vided for by the fourth paragraph of
the resolution.
Under these circumstances the de-
mand made by the United States that
Spain at once evacuate the island and
that the threat in the event of her re-
fusal that land and naval forces of the
United States will be used TO compel
evacuation, certainly merits the deep
tSl ElullNlhc WI thc part tHe
Cubans.
Should force be necessary on the part
of the United States there will be the
most complete cooperation by the
Cuban government and It's army.
Coast pilots and practiced pilots will
be placed Immediately at the service
of the United States and in every way
will the Cubans aid in expelling the
common enemy. To the patriotism OF
the American people and the American
press, the Cubans owe a debt of deep
est gratitude and for the confidence
which the American people have in
them they hope to prove their worthl-
ness.
1.-The steadfastness with which they
have pursued their ideal for indie
dendence and the organization which
they have shown In their fight against
Spain are sufficient proof that they Will
be able to maintain their independence
and that peace will be their only OBJ
ject for the future"

WAR PREPARATIONS,
Uncle Sam is Pushing Them With All
Energy.

Washington. April 19.-The three
branches of the regular army, infan-
try. cavalry and artillery, began its
movement toward the modifying
points In the south from all parts of

orleans and Mobile. As soon as

camp, Adjutarit generals of the de
partment have preceded the troops and
made all necessary arrangements for
their comfort and convenience. The
troops carry thirty days rations, and
a number OF rounds OF ammunition.
TeleEIems received at the war de,
rartment today indicate that n large
proportion of the army viii be on Its
way south before nightfall. In a few
cases where detachments OF troops
were located temporarily, n consider
able distance from their posts, in order
to reach which several days marching
will be required, there Will be some
delay In getting started south.
orders were Issued from the war
department today placing the light
batteries of artillery on a strictly war
footing. Tclerrams were sent to the
commanding officers of these batteries

SPANS HOLD on CUBA LOST.
But the spaniards WIN Make 1t Cost Amer
lea IA Much as They Can.

New York, April ia dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says:
All eyes are directed toward the
United States. 1t is felt that the Cuban
question has entered upon its last
stage and that tile chance for a peace
ful solution Is very slender one.
One OF the miners said:
I'VE are particularly gratifled by
the way Spain Is spoken of by several
senators. We regard II ms an indica-
ton that opinion In the United States
Is not quite undivided and we feel
that II the counsels Of the moderate
minded could only prevail, peace might
be maintained even yet"
This reflection may be fully taken
to mean that the essential points of
difference between the two governments
are capable OF 4 satisfactory adjust
ment II the counses OF President Nc
Kinley are followed and that all Amer
lea could justifably demand would GER
tainly be accorded.
The mere fact that negotiations
would not necessarily be broken off
after the decision OF Congress admits
Americas right to intervene.
This being conceded clears the
ground immensely and with the chance
of peace as an induccrent this govern
ment would spare no effort to remove
the grievances of the United States.
There really Is no bellicose feeling
here In administration circles. Neither
is the feeling sudden one in bowling
10 the Inevitable. 1t seems, however,
to be felt that war Is being forced on
the country and that II could not he
avoided, no matter what sacrifices were
made.
Every one appears to realize that
SPANS actual hold on Cuba Is lost, but
at the same time the people are united
In a determination to cling ia the sentl-
mental bond that still exists between
the mother country and the island OF

bond intact should war break out. but
