GENERAL MILLER,

thousand more, it is reported, are
awaiting orders to embark at several
points on the Island of Negros, IS hours
sail from noilo.
All the women have withdrawn, and
many families have taken refuge with
the Americans. The rebels, after a
consultation, insist upon extension
until
Aguinaldo Should He Heard From.
General Miller, when this demand was
first made. declined to concede them
time and insisted upon an answer being
given him by noon today. AT the same
time he gave assurances that lives and
property would be protected.
The foreign residents then petitioned
General Miller to grant the extension
asked for as fight would cause great
loss of life. This General Miller also
denied. At the time stipulated q native
committee boarded the Newport claim
ing they were able to preserve order in
the city and surrounding country and
asking for further extension. This
General Miller refused and prepared to
land forces, and sent On embassy back to
Manila for instructions. The rebels are

CONCERNING GAME.
How to Cock Birds So - to Bring
OUt the Flavor.

How to Cook Birds So ~ to Bring
Out the Flavor.
Whatever gallinaceous bird is to be
served the same process Of cooking will
apply to IL. Quails are often broiled
and served in braiser. but they are
more often roasted. Grouse of any kind,
partridge, prairie hen or ptarmigan are
more often roasted than cooked in any
other way, and are served with bread
sauce, which IL preferred because it
seems to bring ont the characteristic
flavor Of the birds and has no marked
flavor Of its own. Whenever cook at
tempts any other sauce with these roast
birds it 10 usually disappointment,
because no better sauce can be devised.
See that the birds are we'll picked,
freed from stray shot and drawn care
fully, remembering it is as disastrous
thing to break the gall bladder of q
wild as Of domestic fowl intended for
food. Lard the breast and legs, or tie
thin layers Of Harding pork over the
breast and legs with pack thread or
common Irvine If more convenient. Sea.
son the bird carefully inside and ont
with salt and pepper. If the bird is
larded, not wrapped in pork, rub it in
addition with butter.
In any case dredge on -four and lay
1t in dripping pan on its back. It is
hardly necessary to say that no game is
ever stuffed, though this question is re-.
peatedly asked by people who have
never handled game. Sometimes half
an onion is laid inside each Of the
larger birds or a slice in the smaller
ones to impart an indistinot flavor, but
this addition is exceptional. Lovers Of
game prefer no other flavor but that of
the fine birds properly seasoned.
Roast dark birds, like prairie chick
ems, from Is to 30 minutes; cartridges
from So to 40. The birds should be the
richest golden brown. They should, be
laid on a hot platter in the center Of a
bed of bread sauce and sprinkled over
with bread crumbs fried in butter.
To prepare the bread sauce for pair
of cartridges or any other bird of the
larger size allow third Of a cup Of
dried and sifted bread crumbs. Put
them In double boiler, with two cups
of milk and third Of an onion sliced.
Let the sauce cook 10 minutes" Add
salt, and pepper. Rub through puree
sieve and add two liberal tablespoonfuls
of butter. Stir we'll. Pour a little out
on hot platter and lay the birds roast
ed on it. Put the rest Of the sauce in a
boat. Scatter about two.thirds Of a cup
Of coarse bread crumbs fried brown in
butter over the birds and sauce and add
a garnisl, Of green parsley or water oress,
though tie latter seems more appropri-
ate to ducks, snipe and water birds, not
upland birds of the field and wood
coveyR
These rich, brown, roasted birds,
with the accompaniment of fragrant
dish of wild mushrooms, are especially
delightful after an inspiring walk
through the autumn woods.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Representativt
Nelson w. Dingley of Maine is critically
ill at his apartments 1t the Hamilton
House in this city with an attack Of
pneumonia. Because of his age much
concern is felt over his condition. HI
illness dates from Wednesday Of las
week, when he had an attack of tn,
grip. He rapidly grew worse and Sat
urday night pneumonia set in.
Mr.. Dingley is of delicate physique, j,
an unremitting worker and has figured
in the tariff legislation of the house TO,
q great number of years past. He il
now chairman of the committee on way
and means and is the leader of the Re

"You don t mean'itr' in an inoredulous
tone.
If I didn't mean it, sir. I wouldn't say
1t. 1t has always been characteristic of
me, whether as private citizen or as poll

SECRETARY HAY OBJECTS.

Excluaive Franchise for Cable to Hawaii
Knocked Out.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The secretary
of state has formally disapproved the
concession made in July by the Ha-
waiian government to the Pacific Cable
company for an exclusive right Of lay
ing cable to Hawaii. It is understood
that this action was taken in no spirit
Of hostility to the Pacific Cable COM
pany, but the concession was disap-
proved, first on account of the formal
protest made by the Hawaiian commits
sion, and secondly. because it seemed
best to leave to congress a free hand in
