FOREIGN NOTES.
The continued mlldness Of the
weather will partially account for the
small demand from the brewerles, aud
IN addition there Is the effect Of

The Hoe for Cuba.

The action of Acting Secretary OF
War Meil.leiohn in issuing an order for
the purchase of seed for free distribution
among Cuban farmers, promises to put to
severe practical test the capacity of the
native population of the island for the en-
joyment of those political rights which
Cuban politicians and hysterical sentimen-
talists at home are demanding. The order
also includes the free admission at Cuban
ports of all necessary farming implements
and twenty-five thousand horses for breed
ing purposes.
This is directly in line with a recommen-
dation recently made by Brig. Gen. James
II. Wilson, Military Governor of Matan-
zas, Santa Clara Department, as an Offset
to General Brooke's foolish proposition to
devote surplus revenues of the insular
treasury to the building of railroads and
the general improvement of highways over
which, of course. the rowing bands of out
laws could move faster from place to place
and the better avoid Brooke's military
police. Indeed, the War Departments ac-
tion in this matter is such complete re-
pudiation of Brooke's method that it
would seem the possession of the proper
sense of self-respect on the part of that
obsolete warrior would cause him to ask
to be relieved of his post at Havana. The
case is made all the worse for Brooke by
reason of the fact that the Cubans went
over his head and obtained at Washington
concessions they have been earnestly beg
ging OF him for months Still Brooke, like
Otis, seems to be so pachydermatously en-
cased that it requires great deal more
than sights to arouse his ire to the point
of resentment. 1t would appear, however,
if the new regime in the War Office de-
sires to make its course consistent it
should very soon supplant Brooke with a
soldier whose ideas are not bounded by
the rules of frontier garrison duty and
whose activities are not confined to mill
tary parades and Inspections.
If, after they receive their seeds, their
farming implements, and their horses
through the liberality of this Gov
eminent, the mass OF Cubans do
not take up Industrial pursuits
and absent themselves from mass
meetings which represent nothing more
nor less than a spirit Of ingratitude and
defiance to the United States, the way will
then win be cleared for the authorities OF
this country to treat them In more rigid
manner than has characterized our occupa-
ton OF the island thus far II the untimely

A MISSING NAN DISCOVERED.
Found in n Hnynioy- After a Two
Days Search.

Matawan, n. j., July 29.-SamueI II. Cor
don. farmer living just east of here,
disappeared from home on Tuesday night
last and was not found until noon yester-
day. when he was discovered lying IN the
haymow in his fathers barn. at Cliffwood.
When he was taken to his fathers house
he was questioned as to where he had been
or how he happened TO be in the haymow.
and his mind seemed a blank. He had evil
IDENTIFY lain in the NOW for two days with
out food. A doctor was summoned and he
stated that il was a temporary derange-
ment of the mind caused by overwork
while the young man was in sickly con-
dition.
Gordon has young wife and child
a few months old. During the time Cor
don was missing the wife spent sleepless
nights and days of agony. 1t seems that on
Tuesday Gordon had a quarrel with his
hired man. Henry Slower. which resulted
in the mans discharge. That evening at
o'clock Gordon left home, telling his wife
that he was going to Matawau to hire
two farmhands. From the time he left
the house until noon yesterday apparently
no one had seen the man, and it seemed
as if the earth had swallowed him up Cor
don's wife and mother felt certain that he
had been foully dealt with. The entif1
community was aroused. but efforts made
toward finding Gordon proved useless until
yesterday.

Professional RevoIutionf.ts.

(From the Philadelphia Lsdger.)
The Dominicans seem to be professional reyo-
lutionists The history of the island is the per-
picked and wonderfully confused story of in
Vulnerable plots, counterpiofs. fierce strife, revo-
lutions. and merciless suppression of tumults and
risings General Heureaux first became President
in 1Ss2, and had held the power ever since. His
method of retaining power was extremely simple.
Anyone who questioned his absolute will was con-
sidered public enemy. If his spies brought him
news of a plot cahal that the centre OF
dissatisfaction, General HeIreaux gave himself the
benefit Of the doubt and scattered the plotters to
the four winds unless they were caught, and
then the summary trial which was given them as
formality likely to result in an execution.
His enemies have always said that it was exceed
ingly dangerous for Dominican to have any am
bition; that, like the jealous Turk, he could
brook rivals near the throne, and they declare
that all the leading men of the island who in the
past few years might have reasonably aspired to
the Presidency have been killed, exiled or re-
moved in some way. President Heireaux seems to
have been set against the survival of the fittest.

Just before the machines were DESTROYED
Morris Hertz served notice on Mayor

An Interesting Suit for Damages.
From Harner's Raz,rl

The attention of horsewomen is invited to a
recent decision of the supreme court of Massa-
chusetts affirming the verdict of the lower
court, which directed Mrs Caroline Swift, of
New Bedford, and her daughter Helen to pay
S5,45S damages to Annie Z. Adams of Manches-
ter, \. H. 1t seems that in August, 1894, there
coaching parade in New Hampshire Mrs
Swift and her daughter went to it in a car
riage drawn by two spirited horses. driven by
Miss Swift, who WAS then nineteen years old and
weighed los pounds Coming home there was
procession of carriages On the road and Miss
Swift inadvertently ran the pole of her vehicle
into the back of the carriage in front of her.
This excited her horses so that she couldn't
hold them, and they drove the pole against Mrs.
Adams back and injured her. Suit was brought
in Mrs. Adams behalf, and damages as afore.
said were awarded TO her. The appeal seems to
have been taken on the ground that Mrs Swift
was not responsible for her daughters driving,
and was improperly included as defendant The
court held that the excursion was Joint under
taking of the two ladies'; that the mother was
an equal promoter and manager, and not mere
guest, and that "under her control and direc-
tion her daughter, SO inexperienced whip that
it might be negligent to allow her TO drive on
such occasion, was driving and driving care
lessly." So the verdict Of the Jury was upheld.
There are few mothers who would take their
chances, under any circumstances after two spir-
ited horses driven by q spirited girl Of nineteen
To those few it will hardly be reasshring to
learn that when they personally countenance
their daughters driving they make themselves
responsible for its feouifs. .5-

Rum Up the Flag at Port au Prince!
Coincidently with the latest violent out
break of anarchy in the Dominican Re
public comes news Of threatened
trouble in the other political division of
that little island-''the black Republic Of
Haiti. There is a logical connection be-
tween the two conditions forming situa-
ton which is a reproach to the national
courage of this Government compared with
its necessary position and purpose in New
Wcrld affairs.
Haiti's financial condition is SO inextri-
cably confused that the only means by
which order can be brought out of chaos
is a protectorate by the United States. This
suggestion came from practical minds after
meeting of Haitian creditors at Port au
Prince broke up in disorder. II has been

try came TO the United States for the pur-
pose of consolidating and converting Hal
It's debts with American capital and of re-
ducing that so-called nations monetary
system to the terms and basis of that of
the United States. They were pursued TO
New York by representatives of European
syndicates anxious to do what Haiti sought
in the United States. The presumption is
that the Haitians failed of their purpose
here and so reported at hcme. IL is GER

1t is Teas--a5-e t. suppose that they will

promptly and courageously by taking hold
of the situation in Haiti with a firm hand
and establishes financial stability so that
American capital and the general interests

rate is the short and sure path to that end
I II would be criminal folly to wait until tbs
present situation grows into the turmoil
OF bloody factional strife before a proper

useless sacrifice of blood and treasure. We

An Incident of the NoiIo Expedition.
From Harper's Weekly

little incident occurred in the waterboat
alongside of the Newport, which eyempliae5

watertoat, which gets its supply from spring
on The Island of Gumehas. This watertoat is
the cply means of supplying ships in the harbcr
with water. The 'oTner Of the boat demanded
$50 day, which refused by the quarternlas
ter. The owner went away. saying that he would
get even with No objected when a
crew OF three natives came on board the water
boat. We had two American guards the boat,
who got on splendidly with the new crew. The
captain of the crew was especially pleasant to
and in every way endeavored to make himself
agreeable. That evening at dinner time. just
as dusk was fading into night, the two sentineis
beat; the three natives were at the other end
Th ratiye captain got up and came toward the
American guards, asking for a cigarette. Both
Americans were sitting down. One OF them
threw his package to the captain The next
moment The native made rush at the
two guards. They taken by surprise
that they did not have time to even draw their
rcvolyerS. One American was stabbed in the
I arm and showed overheard; he aiierward
picked up by life-boat little the worse for his
adventure The other guard was found on the
deck of the waterboat with his head split from
ear to ear. There is little chance of his re-
covery Two of the native crew did not at
tempt to escape, and Were found in the water
boat. They strongly assert that they are inno-
cent. the captain jumped overheard and es-
capped The whole affair was cold -blooded
and treacherous murder, planned with utter dis

to get possession Of the waterboat. gTe-
