Matanzas. Feb. 22.-S:50 a. m.-The
banquet rendered here to General Max

fair and we'll attended. The Junta Pa

Spaniards, which displeased the Cuban
commander.
The banquet was given in the thea

The guests numbered 20O and 1000
spectators were present. The boxes
were crowded with ladies belonging to
the best circles of society and the pub
lie generally crowded the four tiers of

able work of the same nature that
can or will be gotten out, they
have evidently made scoop"
and other publishing houses will
regret their oversight in neglect
ing this field Circulars received
with the book claim advance sale
in Manila of over 5000 volumes
and very large sale through
agents that are now in the field in
this country.
They have employed almost
exclusively as agents soldiers in
the returning volunteer regiments,
and in this way are giving employ
ment to great many of our brave
boys who gave up situations in re-
sponse to their country's call.
A feature of the book which will
be particularly interesting TO the
people of this state is that portion
which contains history OF the
regiment of which we are all so
proud. Almost one hundred pages
are devoted to our boys, giving a
very full and reliable account of
their work in the Philippines. A
complete roster is also given in
which every mem ber's name ap-
pears. together with his rank, post
Office address and occupation; also
lists of killed in action, died of dis
ease, wounded, promotions and
discharges, with dates and cause.
This in itself is very valuable
reference and ena bles us to know
what kind of men this state sent
out in response to the call for vol
unteers.
Cuts of each company, band,
hospital corps and regimental Off
GERS appear in connection with the
regimental history. The colonel's
certificate shows the work to be
thoroughly reliable.

CAMPAIGNING IN
THE PHILIPPINES"
The Most Comprehensive and Re-
liable Book That Has Yet
Appeared on the Cam
paign in the Philip
pine Islands.

We have just received most
valuable aud interesting book from
The Hicks-J udd Publishing Com
psny of San Francisco entitled
Campaigning in the Philippines y
As its name would indicate il
treats of the the operations of the
American forces in the Philippine
Islands, and to say that the sub
ject is handled in most compre-
hensive manner is to give but a
faint idea of the scope of the work.
The opening chapter is devoted
to a description of the battle of
Manila Bay and contains two ac-
counts of this great naval engage
ment, one written by Lieutenant
Com mander of the Olympia and
the other by Spaniard. 1t also
contains comments based upon
interviews with Admiral Dewey,
in which new light is thrown upon
disputed points.
The book is very handsomely
illustrated with nearly 300 views
of troops in action and scenes in
the Philippines. Seven full-page
maps of battle e-felds, made by an
official map-maker of the Sth army
Corps, enables the reader to follow
very closely the movement of troops.
A description of Manila and the
Philippine Islands gives such stat
istical and other information as
will enable the reader to get a
good idea of customs and condi-
tions in our new possessions in
the Pacific, while an account of
trip from San Francisco to Manila
takes the reader to Honolulu and
through China and Japan.

HOWES CALLS
For a Favorable Trade
Treaty With Canada.

Osborne Howes. Esq, of Boston, spoke
on 1.-THE lines which separates and the
interests which join us to Canada" in
the industrial talk of the Worcester
County Mechanical Association, last
night.
OF the country by the French as pio-
neers, explorers and settlers. They diff
fered from the American colonies in
that the latter came to found states and
homes. The French resisted our adj
vance in from the coast and the Eng
lish helped US naturally.
He gave a brief resume of the history
of the early conflict between the Ameri-
can settlers and the French explorers
and fur traders, and later of the causes
that brought on the American revolu-
ton incidentally, by the aid of maps,
he traced out the lines Of French and
English possessions that were wiped
away by each successive conquest or
purchase.
Every advance to the westward in the
way OF trade or observation was resist
ed by the Spanish government. He
gave a careful history of the efforts to
| NSAihS ttiC DouLudIy lines between Can
ADA and the United States in 1891 and
1870. In 1874 the national election turned
upon that issue, and there sprung up
the famous cry "54-40 or fight"
In 1886 came the war with Mexico,
and when England heard President
Folk announce that at the end Of IL
months he should institute a govern
inent OF MS own in the northwest they
gave it UP.
The question of the southern bound
airy line of Alaska'is still unsettled. All
these boundary problems seem much
| greater when an active issue than two
or three days after they are settled
NO better evidence OF this is shown
than in the Venezuelan controversy
They should all be submitted to arbi-
tration.
In trade matters we should remem-
Der that our Canadian neighbors are
more nearly like us than any people
on the earth. The only diffeffrence is
that we are 40 or 30 years ahead OF
| them.
The sentiment has gone out from
Washington in the last few years that
II we could damage their trade with
US, we could force them to annexation.
But we cannot any more than we could
oe forced. Their loyalty to the mother
country Is unquestioned. They have abb
solute home rule and get have all the
protection Of Englands great navy
and are not naturally, in favor Of i'm
mediate annexation. Then, too. they
look upon our government as corrupt
The Canadians are the greatest buy
ers we have. Last year they purchased
OF us sSO,O00,00O, and W. purchased of
them $50 100000. England bought Of
Canada last year as much as we sold
them, and sold to them only $26,000, 900
worth of goods. Last August the diff
ferential duty changed trade conditions
with Canada in England's favor. Eng
land has 20 per cent The better of us
now, and yet Canada wants to buy
manufactured goods Of us.
He believed the woods, coal and fish
of Canada should be admitted TO this
country free for the best interests of
both people. But it is prevented by
strong political interests; if 1t were
not for that, q trade treaty advanta-
glous to both countries could be made
He was anxious to see everything done
to advance trade interests with Can
ada.

NAPHTHA AND POWDER.
TWO Fires With Blu, a Single Call

TWO Fires With But Single Call.
A fire supposed to have been oaused
blythe ignition of naphtha gases was dis
covered in the japaning room at the
rear OF the Crompton- Knowles loom
works on Green street about 4.5O O'clock
yesterday afternoon. An alarm was
turned in from box "a, at the corner of
Green and Bradley streets, few min
utes later and the fire confined to the
room in which it originated. EMPLOYEES
laid line of hose from a stand pine
IN the factory and did excellent work
In putting the fire out Hose also laid
a line, and between the two streams the
blaze was extinguished. The plant is
insured through the Mutual Insurance
company.
Members Of Hose discovered anoth-
er fire while answering the alarm from
box "a, and for a time thought they
were at work on the fire for
which the alarm had been Civ
en-. The blaze, which was insig-
nificant, was confined to a heap of rub
bish in the cellarof the house 155 Wash
ington street. A 14-year- son Of
Michael Swan, who occupies the house
was playing with a bottle of powder II,
the cellar, when an explosion occurred
setting fire to the rubbish and burning
the boy to some extent about the hands
and face. After attending to this fire
Hose proceeded to the scene of the fire
for which the alarm was given.

such Roadway before it is discovered.
Another thing is patent in connec-
ton with the fire, and that is that the
vaults used as receptacles for records
and other documents are not altogether
safe places in case of fire. On exam
lining papers in the interior of the vault
on the second floor, Maj. e. L. Ray
mond found books and papers stained
by smoke, and the conclusion arrived
at naturally is that il smoke could
penetrate in such a way, there must be
some weakness, not desirable in case
Of bad fire.
With all danger past, friends of the
police have called in to see them and
a joke that has been passed quite gem
arally among them is to call on the
officials to make application for the
place Of night Waterman at the sta
ton house.

NOT so MUCH.
Damage to Waldo Street Station conflne d
to Smoke.

10 OnOkes
The main entrance and first floor of
the waldo street station house presents
a decidedly dilapidated appearance.
The building still retains the odor Of
the smoke that filled it during the
fire Friday evening, and a general air
of home sickness pervades the struc-
ture. 1t might have been very much
worse however, and with the applica-
ton Of little paint, several panes Of
glass and necessary repairs where the
flames and axes of the firemen played
havoc, the building will be put in good
shape again.
AS was anticipated yesterday morn
ing the fire was confined to the room
in which 1t originated, feeding prinoi-
pally on the pile of rubbish in the old
coal bin and the timbers over head.
Cracks in the floor of the office over
head showed where the smoke came
through, blackening the partition in its
passage. No cause Is assigned for the
fire other than spontaneous combus-
tlon or rats and matches. A gas let is
left burning by the side of the stair
way leading into the cellar at times,
and while no one Is certain thcf the iet
was lighted Friday night, there Is a
bare possibility that some one in light
ing the gas threw match down which
communicated to the rubbish and
smouldered until flames broke out.
