These charming books have passed
into new edition, and they deserve it,
for more delightful studies of foreign
lands and folk both in matter and in
manner, it would be difficult to name.
AS Accomplishments to travel, they are
ideal volumes. One is sorry to turn
the last page Close observation,
rich vein of humor fine sympathy, and
a delicate touch-these are among the
qualities that Mrs. Dodd brings to her
subject.
From Villerville to Dives, thence to
Caen, from Caen to Constance, and so
to the summit of Mount st. Michel, she
takes the reader. The pages fairly
live, and it is with a pang that one
takes leave of the VillerVille fishermen,
Of Mon. FOuchet and Ernestine, of
Guillaumele-C Onquerant inn, with It's
memories of Louis XXI and Nine. de Sc

His dialogue is brilliant but not too
brilliant; his plots are skilfully devised
to keep his reader guessing; his charac-
ters are well-bred, capable people, who
may be relied upon not to slop over. He
lays the emphasis for the most part upon
the traits that have made English arms
and ships and Englishmen respected the
world over and this in itself is enough
to account for his continuous and we'll
deserved popularitY.

WILL DTSBAND CUBAN ARMY.
General Gomez to Carry Out Agree
ment With the Americans.

Havana, March 15.-General Gomez
has decided to proceed with the plans
agreed upon for distributing the
SO, 000, 900 to the Cuban troops, on dis
banding, as though the military assem-
bly, did o exist. He conferred for
two hours to-day with General Brooke
regarding details.
General Brooke asked Washington
several days ago whether, in case he
dissolved the assembly, his action
would be approved. The cable reply
authorized him to dissolve that body
if, in his Judgment, such an act was
necessary. He hopes the assembly will
soon cas- of its wi accord to hold
it's sessions, but should sessions dis
quieting to the public mind continue
he will intervene.
Havana is much more quiet to-day
and much less excitement is ~noticea-
bile.
At a meeting this morning the Cuban
generals, Diaz, Robeau, Monteaguado,
Nodarez, Peraz and others decided to
join with General Pedra Betancourt,
commander of the Cuban troops in Ma
tanzas, in a public discussion of their
position. La Discussion understands
that they will side with General Co
mez. The papers continue to print
letters and kilograms from all points
declaring adherence to the veteran pa
triot's cause.
There are numerous fresh calls to-
day for the resignation of Civil Gov
rLor Mora and chief of Police Menoc-
al because of their attitudes, the result
of misunderstanding, or otherwise,
toward Sundays parade in honor of
General Gomez.

Their Experiences-Some Suffering
Union Pacific Fixes Age Limit
on Employees.

The passengers on the snow bound
Northern arrived in CHEYENNE at Ais
this evening. Considering what they
have suffered, they look remarkably
well. A Sun-Leader reporter met the
train at the Cheyenne and Northern
round house and rode in the coach to
the depot. The passengers were very
good natured and talked of their siege
as if it was nothing at all. On the train
were Superintendent Rasback, En-
gineer Gibson, Fireman Jack Masters
and Brakeman Blood, Miss Edith
B~oothroyd of L%oveland. Miss Callahan
Of Cheyenne, Mary Robinson of Dem
yer, Miss A. NJ Kline of Denver, w. C.

Miss Kline, Colonel Richardson, En-
gineer Gibson, Superintendent Rasback
and Miss Robinson were interviewed.
When the little party left White
Wings sation, as they call the lonely
place in the hills where they were
showed in, the food supply was about
exhausted and the ranohmen within a
radius of fifty miles said they could
spare no more. Conductor Hoyt, who
was left with the train and the two dead
engines, was left all the provisions that
were in the harder. There was no one
on the train that was actually sick, al
though all are worn out and are suffer
ing with d~ysentery as a result of Iron
mountain water and close confinement.
Everybody speaks in high praise of
Superintendent Rasback, who was Civ
en- no support whatever by his COM
pany. The trainmen were all brave
and gallant and the ladies speak of
them in bhe highest terms. Existence
on the train was very wearisome. The
only thing To DO was to sit in the car
while the snow shovelers worked. The
ladies visited the ranches and were al
ways enthusiastically welcomed. Some
days it was awful cold in the ear. but
usually it was not impossible to keep
warm.
The Colorado Southern management
in Denver spurned the voluntary Of
fers of Cheyenne citizens and Fort Rus
sell soldiers to go to the relief of the
train, but at the same time they adopt
ed no effective means of relief. The
citizens Of Cheyenne and ranchmen
along the line of the railroad are very
indignant at the urn of affairs.-Chey-

U. P. FINES AGE LIMIT.
Men Over Forty Years Old Are Barred
as a Rule.

Any one thinking of applying at the
Union Pacific headquarters for a po-
sition in any department of the road
must first make sure of his e Age
limit is one of the strictest rules in
force on the road under the present
management. A few days ago a resi-
dent of Omaha applied at the auditors
office for a position. There were two
vacancies there. He was qualified for
either of them, and had recommended
tons from many Of the leading whole
salers and shippers in the city. He
seemed to satisfy every requirement
made at the office, and felt he was to
be given one of the places, when he was
asked his age. He was a year or so
past 40, and was informed this was an
insurmountable bar to his employ
ment.
Inquiries at headquarters developed
the fact that this rule prevailed every
where on the system, but is more strict
ly applied in the auditors office. In
other departments it is generally ap-
piled, but occasionally exceptions are
made in extraordinary cases One of
the officers in defending the rule said
it requires from eight to twelve years
for a man to equip himself in almost
any branch of railroad work. After
becoming proficient, the company is en-
titled to some years more of his SER
vice in return for preparing him for the
work. When a man begins service at
40 years or past" said this official, che
ie well up in the sos before it can be
said he is a capable railroad man, and
another rule in force there, refining a
man when he reaches the age of 60,
places the company in the position of
educating the employe only to dis
charge him when he becomes OF value
to the road."-Omaha Bee.

OTIS"
At the French embassy it was said
that no move has been made to induce
the United States to permit direct nego-
t~iations by Spain with the Philippine
rebels for the release of the Spanish
prisoners. 1t is pointed out that the
term Intervention of France" is err
%roneous, as there could be no interview
ton under any circumstances. All the
embassy will do is to act as the channel
for communicating Spain's request that
she be allowed to treat with the rebels.
On advice today in this quarter, in
surgents escaping from Pasig attempt
ed to cross u lines between San Juan
and Del Monte and Santa Lon. A few
volleys from the American troops drove
them back.
