PAY FOR The
CUBAN ARMY
United States Said to Have Agreed to
Advance the Money.
THE AMOUNT is
$4O,OOO,OOO
Brigadier-General Jose Miguel Gomez,
Who Is Just Returning to Cuba
From Washington, Taking the Good
News to the Cubans.

New YORK, Jan. 16.-According to
General Jose Gomez, member of the
Cuban commission in Washington, the
Cuban army is sure to receive the three
years. pay to which it is entitled, $40,-
O0O,0 900 being advanced by the United
States, with the custom houses of Cuba
as security for Its payment.
Gen. Gomez, who has just arrived in
the city from Washington, is grateful
for the way the commission has been
received. The negotiations, It'll expect
ed, will be completed by the end of the
month, when the commission will re-
turn to Cuba. Gen, Gomez said last
night:
''Our hopes have all been realized. At
fret, however, things looked very dark
for US. Poor Gen. Garcia was the most
pessimistic member of the commission.
"The other commissioners protested
because of the small amount. Then
came the generals death, and for the
time being negotiations were suspended.
At our next meeting it was agreed that
an official list of the men in the Cuban
army would be required before any
agreement could be reached. Accord
ingly, I left for Cuba, whence returned
on January with the required docu-
ment.
''There are 1000 men to be paid in
the Cuban army. The amount we have
requested is 10000, ,OO0,s to be turned
over to US either in one or three pay
ment. We twill give as security the
custom houses in Cuba. Should the
government not care to lend us that sum
we are willing to take one-third of it,
and later pay the men the rest.
tAs affairs now stand, however, 1
think we will receive the amount in
three payments. This however is not
decided yet. The late Mr.. Dingley was
in favor of giving as the amount in one

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from cold or from
an attack of La Grippe. During the
epidemic of La Grippe few years ago
when so many cases resulted in pneu-
monia, it was observed that the attack
was never followed by that disease when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used.
1t counteracts any tendency of cold or
La Grippe to result in that dangerous
disease. 1t is the best remedy in the
world for bad colds eand La Grippe.

ONE FROM
FIRST OREGON
List Will Include Eight Cadets, all of
Whom Must Enter West Point
Next June-NO Further Vacancies
to be Filled Until 1000, When Fifty
eight Will be Named.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
There are a number of vacancies at the
military academy which members of the
present congress are entitled to fill.
Among these are the second, third,
tenth, eleventh and twenty-five districts
of Illinois; the tenth Iowa, the eleventh
Mississippi, the first Oregon. These
vacancies belong to the class which will
enter the academy next June, and if
they are not filed during the present
session of congress, they will revert to
members whose terms of Office begin on
March 4th, next.
Without changing the law there will
be no further vacancies at West Point
until June, 1900, when upon that grad
uaticn of what ts now the second class,
there will be ffty-eight places to be
filed.
The present class, on account of the
urgent need for its men in service at the
present time will be graduated Febru-
airy 18th. The regulation examination
of all candidates to fill the vacancies
would ordinarily occur before boards of
army officers at the principal military
posts throughout the country March 1st,
but this year the exigencies of the serv-
ice preclude the appointment of such
boards on account of the practical aban-
donment of posts due to the dispatch of
regiments to the West Indies and the
Philippines, has caused the war depart
ment to order all the accredited candi-
dates to report at West Point for exami-
nation early in June.
Although two vacancies will occur
among the cadets-at-large at West Point
next year, it will be impossible for Pres
ident Mckinley to consider any applIca-
tion for.them, as he has already made
promises for every appointment that he

WASHINGTON, -May-12.-The War de-
partment is preparing to send four
regiments Of regulars to- Manila by
way of New York and the Suez canal,
utilizing for the purpose the transports
Thomas, Meade and Logan, which are
to be permanently transferred from
the Atlantic'to'ta Ia Pacific fleet. ,,-ft
The project to send these regiments
by way of New York and Suez is based
on considerations similar to. those
which governed the War department
in sending the Grant, the Sherman
and the Sheridan by that route. The
expense of transportation of the troops
by rail across the continent, amount
ing to $50, oooa regiment. is saved, and
the transports are sent to the Pacific,
where they are most needed. It is
also essential at this time to release a
number of chartered vessels now used
by the army in the Pacific, and the
Thomas, the Meade and the Logan
are required in their places.
From the Pacific coast two more
regiments, the Sixth and Sixteenth
infantries will start for Manila this
month.-The former will leave San
Francisco on the Sherman on May %

In a paper on oil-producing seeds, in
the Year Book Of the department Of
agriculture, Gilbert H. Hicks estimates
that, supposing that two pounds Of seed
are produced for every pound OF ginned
cotton. nearly 1000, 900 tons of cotton
seed We're produced in the United
States in 1S94-95. Deducting about
one-third of this. required for sowing,
there would remain more than $780,
600 tons Of seed. OF this amount about
$500, 900 tons were worked at the Gil
mills. each ton producing As gallons OF
crude ~cottonseed oil and 500 pounds
of ]cottonseed cake. This estimate gives
a total Of 60, 900, 600 gallons of oil and
Goo, 900 tons Of oil cake produced in
the United States in a single year. At
80 cents a gallon this crude oil was
worth $4,000. 900, while the oil cake
exceeds S12, 900. 900 in value. OF this
annual production Of oil, about 9,O0O,-
coo gallons are used in making com
pound lard" ETC.. while the rest is en-
ported or is mixed with drying oils
or used in the manufacture of soap
Cottonseed oil is also largely used for

Growth of European Armameuts,

Mr.. H. w. Wilson, writing in the
Nineteenth Century. gives some strik-
ing figures showing the growth of Eu-
ropean ornaments during the last thir-
ty years. In 1868 the total expenditure
on ornaments by what are now the. six
great powers amounted to Esq, 600. 900.
In 1896 the figures had risen to $780,
100000, and the armies of these pow
ers on a war footing have increased
In the same period from 4,5OS, 900 to
17,126,O00 In the thirty years, there
fore, the expenditure on ornaments
has nearly doubled. and the number OF
men under arms has quadrupled. The
irony Of the thing is that nearly all
this time Europe has been at peace.
and that, in order to arm, four pow
ers out of the six have plunged wildly
into debt. Great Britain alone has
steadily paid off her national liabili.

What "Kalsomines" Are.

"kalsomines" are cheap temporary
preparations manufactured from
chalks, clays, whiting, etc., and are
stuck on the wall with ~decaying ami
NAL glue. They bear no comparison
with Alabastine, which is a cement
that goes through a process of setting,
and hardens with age. Consumers, in
buying Alabastine, should see that the
goods are in packages and properly
labeled. Nothing else is lust as
good" as Alabastine. The claims OF
new limitations are absurd on their
face. They cannot offer the test Of
time for durability,
