territory within the Schomburgk line.
This iscluded the right bank of the ORR
noco river, the command of which gave
Great Britain control Of the mouth of
the great river. 1t was this claim that
especially aroused the interest of the
United States. If it was acknowledged,
then southeastern Venezuela in a COM
mercial and military sense would be SUBJ
jected to the control of Great Britain.
This was the crux of the controversy.
The retention and complete control Of the
Orinoco was essential to Venezucla's in
dependence.
The decision of the tribunal, in addi-
ton to control of the Orinoco and the
coast line eastward, gives Venezuela all
the territory westward of the Schom-
burgk line, which Great Britain claimed,
but was willing to submit to arbitration.
In addition Venezuela gets 1900 or 5000
square miles in the interior eastward of
the S%chomburgk line in the territory that
Great Britain would not originally sub.
nit to arbitration.

Making Mixed Pick1e..

Much of the profit of all manufact-
urins enterprises depends on using tri-
fies that We're formerly thrown away
as too unimportant for consideration.
The farmer. and especially the grower
of vegetables, needs to practice the
same economy. There are mt this time
of year about every farm many odds
and ends that if saved in some way
would be marketable when vegetables
are in less abundant supply than now.
Making mixed pickles is, perhaps, the
best way to dispose of onions, cauli-
flower and other vegetables that are
too small to market in other ways.
The farmer has an advantage in sell
ing these mixed pickles IL he has a
supply of good cider vinegar, so that
he can sell them already prepared for
the table. In this way he can get
good prices for his pickles, besides
making n market for his vinegar at
paying rates.

The wind alone was to blame for the
failure of Tuesdays yacht race, neither
the Columbia nor Shamrock being able
to reach the line within the FIVE and one

Lawton and Grant with strong Ar.

The attacks of the Filipino insurgents
on the American troops in Cavite prov
ince, in which one officer and a private
have been killed and eleven privates
wounded, had their sequel Tuesday when
Gen. Grant moved out from linus toward
Bacoor. Gen. Lawton drove the insur-
gents up the linus road and crossed the
river. Meanwhile three companies Of the
Fourth infantry advanced from an oppo-
site direction on linus and soon the ISL
and between Bacoor and linus and the
river banks was clear of rebels. The
enemy fell back on San Francisco de Ma
iabon and Cavite Viejo. One American
ohicer and a private were wounded.
The scene Of the operations described
above is in Cavite province, between Ia
coor and linus. Bacoor is on the shore
Of Manila bay, southeast and across Ba-
coor bay from Cavite. linus is about
eight miles directly south of Bacoor. Ca
vites Viejo lies at the bottom Of Bacoor
bay, south of Cavite. San Francisco de
Malabon is about eight miles south Of
Cavite Viejo and the same distance west
Of linus.
The rebels who have been annoying
Gen. Grants forces came from the west
end Of Cavite province and from south of
linus. They have plainly been trying to
break through the American line from
linus to Bacoor, SO as to get into the
country directly south of Manila and to-
ward I4aguna de Bay. The central p5art
Of Cavite province is cut up by the af,u-
ents Of the Zapote, Bacoor and Canar-
chite rivers, all Of which fall into Ma
Mia bag east of the Cavite peninsula.
The 'island' spoken of is formed by the
Bacoor river and 81 branch Of its main
a%fiuent, the Tbagar, which rise in the
country between Perezdasmarinas and
Laguna de Bay and unite about three
miles south Of Bacoor.
When the Americans advanced into Ca
vite province the rebels made their stand
at the Zapote river, were routed, and fled
south and west. The Americans then adj
vanced through Bacoor and San Nicolas
and linus to Perezdasmarinas. The last
place was soon abandoned on account of
the swampy nature of the country. The
Americans did not attempt to take pos
session of the west end Of Cavite PROV
ince, and the rebels have retained posts
at Novaleta, four miles southwest of Ca
vite Viejo, and at other points further
west and south. The Americans also
cleared the rebel vessels off Of Laguna de
Bay and have occupied Calamba, at its
southwestern corner.

The action of the President in APPROX
Ing the recommendation of the court
martial brings to an end this most cello
brated and sensational Of American mill
tary trials. In the War Department., as
we'll as elsewhere, the severity of the
sentence has amazed everyone. Even the
most sanguine of Capt. Carter's friends
had long ceased to expect that he would
he vindicatcd. but they clung to the hope
that he might escape with dismissal from
the army and Il fine, and avoid the degra-
dation of going to prison.
Capt. Carter's friends in Washington,
both in and out of the army. still assert
his innocence and claim that he is the
victim of circumstances and persecution,
but it is the general opinion that in view
of the careful consideration given the
case the verdict OF the court mast be
considered u righteous one.
From the Presidents decision ,..,... IS
no appeal, except to his clemency. The
President has it in his power to pardon
Capt. Carter. and undoubtedly such an
application will be made IN the near
future. but for the present at any rate
