A Greek Colony In Corsica.

At Cargese we have the remarkable
spectacle of Greek population with
its own church settled down on the
coast of Corsica. Our inn is kept by n
Greek from Corfu, as his name. Cor
fiotti, tells us and as the loquacity of
his wife would lead us TO infer; for at
Cargese the Corsican taciturnity has
given place to the Hellenic love of talk.
Rather more than two centuries ago u
Greek settlement was founded in Cor
sica under the auspices of the Genoese
republic, to which the island at that
time belonged, and when the French
came into possession of the country they
established the Hellenic exiles. who had
meanwhile founded the Chapelle des
Grecs just outside Ajaccio at Cargese
and built them the church which they
have ever since cherished.
Intermarriages between the colonists
and the natives, at first rare, have now
become frequent, and it is to be feared
that the Greek language will soon be-
come as extinct there as the fustanella.
But with that wonderful tenacity
which it shows in modern Greece, in
spite of centuries of barbarian inroads
and Turkish oppression, the Greek type
is sure to remain at Cargese to remind
the traveller Of its eternal youth and its
nnfailing characteristics. .-Westmins-

BRooKEs ORDERS.
Have Caused a Climax in Govern.
1nent Affairs in Santiago.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, March "A
climax has been reached in the affairs
of Santiago. The estimates for Feb
ruary have been reduced from $4,000
to $4,000, and amounts Jaggregating
$50. GOO expended last month have been
disallcved by the authorities at Ha-
vana.
General Leonard Wood, Military Gov
ernor, says it is impossible to run the
Government here under the present sys-
tenn For the month Of March all ex-
renditures for the entire province must
be Kept within $4,000.
Even the Cubans who are most
friendly to the United States authori-
ties say this amount. is less than was
allowed at any time under the Spanish
regime In the opinion of others, the
object is to discredit the work already
done here by throwing out of employ
ment a large number of men and Gre
ating discomfort and disturbance.
Even the Americans here cannot COM
prel1end what Havana hopes to achieve
by bringing about a practical cessation
of all public works in the largest pro
vince OF Cuba, province really need-
ing more in this line than any other.
The air of anxiety obvious in all the
Departments shows the apprehensions
entertained of what must follow pub
lie announcement Of the fact that all
public works must cease. AS straw
showing the way the wind Is blowing,
a company of the Ninth Immune Regi-
,rent has been ordered into the city.
This movement is probably connected

HAVANA, March General Maxine
Gomez asks Governor General Brooke
to reduce the army of occupation to
10000 men, retaining 10000 Cubans in
the service of the military government.
At least. so says Senior Manuel de Cas-
pedes. who acted as Interpreter at yes
terday's council, adding that General
Brooke took the proposition under con-
sideration and promised to consult
Washington.
General Brooke himself says nothing
on the question If Cuban soldiers are
enlisted it will be under American Off
GERS. and the old organization will be
broken up Were 10000 enlisted. this
would allow the S3,O0N,O00 to be divided
among the remainder. less those al
ready employed on the streets and rural
police, about / 200.
The Cuban military assembly met to-
day at Marianao, General Andra6e pre-
siding. General Andrade announced
that the pending business was of very
important and serious nature, connected
with the report of the special commits
sion that had called upon President
Mckinley. He suggested that the, ses-
sion should be private. and the assem-
bly, so ordered. the public being inn
mediately excluded. 1t is understood
however, that the session was a stormy
one. the discussion being over the ac-
ceptance of the $3.00000O rendered by
the United States Government. Seven
teen members, it is said, favored ac-
cepting this amount. but no final de-
cision was reached. and the assembly
will meet tomorrow afternoon at e.

WASSERMAN, KAUFMAN & co,


brunette, and is the only book reader
have had so much attention from naval
officers, it was, nevertheless. a nine
days wonder in Honolulu and San
Francisco when the announcement
went out that the grave, dignified and
aristocratic Commander Whiting was
to wed Miss All Fong. To be sure, She
was bright and pretty, and would adorn
any home, and-and she had an abso-
lutely sure dowry of $330000, and she
may get more; but then there is the
persistent thought that possibly old
Papa All Fong and his queue and his
Gathering wooden shoes may come out
of China one day on visit to his
daughters. Then, too, one cannot sup
press the wonder whether any of
Mamma All Fongs Kanaka blood will
ever assert itself in future generations.
The naval officers, even those who had
repeatedly been guests at the All Fong
mansion, shook their heads and talked
in whispers among themselves.
But the marriage, which took place
in May, 1894, has proved a perfect
union Captain Whiting and his wife
have beautiful home among the CO.
coanut trees of Honolulu, and their
devotion to each other is only marred
by their common devotion to their
three year-old daughter. Mrs. Whiting
is one of the most beautifully gowned
women in the naval circles anywhere.
Miss Alice All Fong, who married
Arthur NJ tombstone formerly a re-
porter in st. Louis,) the Associated
Press representative in Honolulu, is
the tallest and most dignifed of the
girls-that is, if one may speak of
dignity in connection with these jolly

lawyer in Honolulu, who came from
LeavenWorth, Kan, was Miss Jenny
All Fong until her marriage last Janu-
ary. Her dowry consisted of cash,
block of stock in the Maui CONNER
cial Company, and real estate in Wal
kiki. near Honolulu. Miss Helen All
Fong married a young San Francisco
LAWYER named George Stewart in Au-
gust. 1897, and went on tour of the
world with him. They will be back in
Honolulu next spring. Meanwhile
very handsome house is being built for
the young couple in San Francisco.
There are nine other All Fong girls
who may yet gladden. hearts and
homes. Moreover, there is vast
amount of stock in sugar companies,
interests in cocoanut groves, thousands
of arces of fertile soil on the islands of
Hilo and Maui, stock in Hawaiian
steamboat lines and Honolulu real es-

The Fishing Cat.

Among the many diverting stories
told in Dan Rice's recollections Of.
Fifty Years With a Menagerie," in
the Youths Companion" is this one:
Although cats have been trained to
perform in public. they are intractible,
artful creatures compared with dogs
and pigs. 1t is not that pussy lacks
intelligence; indeed, I think the
shrewdness and will power of cats keep
them so muchi out of the profession.
''The cat seems to know that if she
just won't the effort to train her will
be given up soon, and as she likes her
ease and cares naught for the hollow
reward of human applause, she usually
just doesn't Hence, l have little to
tell of cat performers,-al l once
trained a cat orchestra and l now
mention the tribe only because l want
to tell of. a family of cats at Long
Branch that is worthy to perform be-
fore enlightened American audiences,
although they are not in the profess
sion.
These cats are one 'Malty' and her
two children; they belong to William
Seaman of Branchport. Once or twice
each sunny day they go to a float be-
side his boat house. Seating themselves
at the edge of the float they patiently
await the coming of a shoal of mill
nows, and when the tiny fish approach
within easy reach, each cat darts a
paw into the water and endeavors to
throw some out upon the float, which
they usually succeed in doing. Then
they devour the catch. Alas: the
three frequently fight over the largest
of the catch and Mr. Seaman is made
to feel ashamed that Maity has not in
structed her children in the graces Of
department!
'Malty's fishing school daily at
tracts a throng of deeply interested
idlers. For me, watch the pussies and
the crowd, and wonder that. some young
Snowman, as enterprising as l believe
was forty years ago does not try to
give, under canvas. an exhibition Or

The Great Bombardment.

The regions of space beyond oul

Some meet the earth in its onward
rush; others, having attained inconceiv-
able velocity, overtake and crash into
the whirling sphere with loud detona-
ton and ominous glare, finding destrue-
ton in it's molecular armor, or, perhaps,
ricocheting from 1t again into the I'M
known. Some come singly, vagrant
fragments from the infinity of space,
others fall in showers like. golden rain,
all constituting bombardment appall-
