1t is not for the navy to say what the

retreat under fire. The first thing to be
done is to whip the Filipinos When we
have done that we can tell better what
we shall do with them. The American
people can then determine what is to be
done, but it is not for me to express an
opinion. This is a matter to be decided

After we had spoken of Samoa as evil
dence of her policy, the admiral said:

Rival of the Kissing Bug.

Living entirely in trees and feeding
upon their bark is gray, wingless insect
half an inch long and quarter of an
inch tall, which residents name the tur-
tleback, though its back is not shaped
like turtles. 1t has exactly the CON
formation of the roof Of negro cabin, its
back running up from the caves to a
sharp ridge. In form it is a reproduction
in miniature of the Confederate ram
Merrimac. Its fur is fine and soft and is
precisely the color of mouse. This in
sect is not at all active or pugnacious.
1t will bite, however, if touched, and its
bite is to the full as painful as that of the
kissing bug. No medicines seem to have
any effect upon it; and the agony of it
lasts from two to three days. There is
little swelling connected with the tiny
puncture, but the flesh around it turns
an angry red, and SO remains for days
after the pain of the sting has ceased.
These insects are rare, but they are espe-
cially fond of pecan trees, and many
seekers after the nuts are bitten by them
No fatalities have resulted from their
bites because they are always encoun-
tered singly. Two of them, however,
would prove sufficient to STAY an infant
and half dozen Of them would account
for the strongest man.--Texas Core

PUBLIC TRIAL
FOR DREYFTS.
Maj. Carriers Report is Said to
CeC.are the Innocence CT

Paris, July 29.-There is one point
case are III accord. That is the impor-
tance of Estcrhazy's appearance as Il
witness at the new trial in Rennes.
Disgust is, therefore, general at the
news that he refuses to attend, notw1th-
standing the safe conduct given him by
the government which guarantees him
against arrest until after the trial is con-
Guided.
The Matin gives Il declaration made by
EsrcrhaZy TO a correspondent TO the eff
feet that it is not for him to speak. but
for the generals whom he has openly ac-
cused to justify their acts. He is Curl
Gus to see whether they will do this at
Rennes.
Maj. Carrere has finished his report
on the Dreyfus case and handed it to
the president OF the courtmartial. Col.
Jouaust. The DreytusarGs announce that
it concludes for the innocence of the pris-
oner, while the opposition maintains that
1t lnstructs for condemnation and Il rig

deportation for life.
From careful inquiry it is believed the
report of Carriere places the matter on
purely legal grounds, and maintains that

there is III the case of Dreyfus large
room for doubt as to his culpability, and
gives him the benefit of the doubt, with
the advice to close the case as quickly
as possible.
The audiences of the council of war

that everything shall be known, and the

REFUSE TO CONFER.
Hope of a Speedy Settlement OF
the Chicago Brickmakers'
Strike VaniSheS.

Chicago, H., July 29.-Hope for a
speedy settlement of the brickmakers'
strike was today abandoned when the
manufacturers declined to meet in con-
ference with the union men in pursuit OF
the conciliating design Of the contractors
According to various labor leaders con-
nected with the Building Trades council
the refusal of the manufacturers to open
the matter to arbitration means tie-up
of the building opera tons where non
union brick is used and the calling out
in a sympathetic strike of the local
unions affiliated with the Building Trades
council. The strikers in this event would
number $4,000 men.
At some of the bigger buildings the
contractors had a good supply of brick
which had been obtained in advance of
the strike and kept the men steadily at
work. On the city sewers now under
construction there is enough brick to last
a few days. About twenty-five cars of
brick, the last shipment from union
yards, were on the tracks this morning
and there was scramble among the con-
tractors for the precious loads. Teams
were packed several deep around each
car in keen rivalry.
The scarcity Of brick threatens to par
alyze building operations in surrounding
towns for a distance of hundred miles
Work ON the four-foot sewer at Ham
mond, Ind, had to be suspended yester-
day afternoon because the supply of
brick from Chicago ran short
Contractors say that every available
brick in Chicago will be laid by this
evening, and unless the proposed confer
ence can bring about settlement the
building industry will be at standstill
and 10000 men will be without work
Monday morning
The strikers are receiving the backing
OF all union men. The Building Mate
rial Trades council met yesterday and
voted its financial and moral support.

WILL BE READY IN TIME.
Work Paris Exposition Buildings
is Well Advanced.

Paris, July 29.--Although much re-
mains to be done in preparing for the
exposition of 1900, NJ Chardon, secre-
tary-general of the fair, says that all
would be ready in time. THE work
never has been advancing more rapidly"
he said. Only last week 1000 new Ia
borers were put on the grounds along the
river front. There progress seems to be
the slowest, and as this is the part the
public most sees it imagines we are lag
CARDS. 1t is there that most of the pa
vilions of foreign nations are to stand,
and while it is true that work has not
been begun on many Of them, autumn
will find most of them we'll under way.
In the spring nobody will be able to say
that Paris is not all ready to receive her
guests"
Assistant Commissioner-General Wood
ward confirmed NJ Chardon's sanguine
statement eve expect" he said, "to
have, if not the handsomest building
along the river, at least the most taste
full The American exhibitors, however,
are not showing the activity one might
expect, but there is no sign that any of
the space we managed to get will be
left unused. Indeed, we can use more
if we can get it.
