said, Stout forged the name of Mr..

credited himself with that sum. The

CUBANS AT WASHINGTON.
Want Ten Million Dollars For the In
slIrpenf TroOnS

surgent Troops.
! Washington, March 2S-Senors Jose
r. Villalon and A. Hevia, who were ap-
pointed by the Cuban assembly to pre-
sent to the Washington authorities the
resolutions of that body, have arrived
in this city. Their mission, in addition
to the presentation of the resolutions,
is to explain in detail the situation
with reference to the insurgent army.
While the assembly did not reject the
100000 which General Gomez ar
ranged with Mr.. Robert P. Porter to
receive and pay off the Cuban troops,
they believed it to be entirely made
quate to meet the situation. They de-
sire at least $10,000,000, and as much
more as can be obtained. They argue
that if the Cuban army is disbanded
after the distribution of but $3000,0 900,
which would give to each enlisted man
about $6S, that the money so obtained
would be barely sufficient for them TO
procure clothes and return to their
homes, leaving them no margin upon
which to enter upon the peaceful pur-
suits of life. Without the means of
subsistence, Senior Villalon says that
disorders would almost inevitably fol-
low, and perhaps brigandage. The OBJ
ject both of the United States and of
the assembly, says Senior Villalon, is to
secure tranquility in Cuba, preparatory
to the setting up by the Cuban people
OF an independent government, and he
says it is, therefore, as much to the
interest of. the United States authority
as to those who Immediately represent
the Cuban patriots that the disbanded
soldiers are given an opportunity to
return to civil pursuits. The assembly
represents not the Cuban people, Sc
nor Villalon declares, but only those
their independence. Had Cuba
achieved her absolute independence, he
says, the revolutionary assembly
would have raised sufficient funds to
pay off the army in full and inasmuch
as the United States now assumes and
exercises the functions of trustee for
the Cuban people during the re-estab-
ishment of order throughout the is
land preparatory to the establishment
of stable and independent govern
ment, he, as the representative of the
assembly, will urge that it is the duty
of the United States to furnish ample
funds, repayable subsequently out of
the Cuban revenues. They desire that
the Washington authorities shall fully
understand the dangers that may fol-
low if the insurgents are disbanded and
sent to their homes without adequate
means to begin life afreSh. If the
United States adhereS to the present
understanding with General Gomez
and the army is disbanded upon the

RESPECT FOR FILIPINos.
Should Be Confined to Their Bravery
and Endurance

London, March 29.-The Times, in an
editorial commenting upon a sugges-
ton thrown out by the New York Times
regarding the birth of feeling of re-
spect for the Filipinos.' says:
The growth of such a sentiment does
honor to the Americans, SO long as their
respect is confined to bravery and en-
durance, and no inference is drawn
from the military to the civic capabil-
tiles of the natives
Until the Filipinos are vanquished
and forced 10 sue for peace and talk of
concessions is liable to be misconsrued
and to lead to a prolongation of the
struggle. That, at least is the teaching
of English history in dealing with semi
civilized races.
THE Americans evidently have a
tough job. and it may be they have q
long one, but we do not doubt they will
do it thoroughly and in workmanlike
fashion, as is their national way"

by trial. Mine is about one pound;
the well being about 26 feet deep it

The wheel has eight fans. Many

to turn nicely. If made too large, it
does not work so we'll. Set four two by

kept from running whether occupied

not wanted for raising would be more
apt to break the wheel than to let it
run. Mr.. Brown says that sit takes a
stronger wind to run it than it does
a well-made mill of the standard makes.
I presume it is more useful here than
it would be in other places, as our pre-
vailing winds are north and south; we
seldom have winds from any other di-
