why shoes are Thrown at a Bride.

Woman's Home Companion: The
custom OF throwing old shoes and rice
has prevailed for many years in Amer
lea, England and Scotland. II came
from the Eastern nations and was
originally intended as a sign of relin-
quishment by the relatives OF their
authority over the bride. An old jew
ish custom provided that brother OF a
childless man had the first privilege
of marrying the widow, and until her
brother-in-law refused her she could
not marry again. Another authority
maintains that the throwing of the
shoe was a sham assault on the groom,
who was supposed to be carrying off
the bride.

VOLUNTEERS LEAVING SANTIAGO
Only Four Regiments Will BE Left

Santiago de Cuba, March 1.-The
United States transport Minnewaska
will leave on Tuesday having on board
The Roumania will probably leave on
Thursday with the Eighth Illinois reg
iment. These troops, like the Ninth
immunes, have of late had no special
duties to perform. The Third inn
munes, now at Guantanamo, are under
orders to be mustered out and will
withdraw about March Is, leaving only
three white volunteer regiments and
one regiment of regulars available for
duty in the province. AT least one
more regiment is needed by the de-
partment, preferably cavalry. as dur
ing the rainy season it is difficult to
move infantry.
1t was recently reported to General
Leonard Wood, on reliable authority,
that a prominent Cuban holding Il high
position in this province under the mill
itary government had openly stated
shat if the Americans did not get out
by July Cuba would declare war
Needless to say, the military governor
attaches no Importance to talk of this
character.
Very little in the way of public inn
provements is now going on in this de-
partment. General Wood is able to
keep only what has been done in re-
pair. He has no power in the handling
of funds except so far as the monthly
allowance is concerned, and this pre-
vents fresh contracts and the giving OF

Manila Cigars.

of the American tobacco supply in the.
near future. Manila cigars are cheap;
the best of them can be bought at the
native stands for cents each, and Il
very good smoke can be had at the
price of the despissd two-for. The old
cone-shaped Manila cigar, or chcroot,
which was supposed to give the best
smoking when lit at the thin end, is
rapidly going out of fashion and mod
ern shapes are taking its place. The
Americans in Manila are taking kind
ly to the tobacco in the form of both
cigars and cigarettes, and it is pre-
dicted that as soon as the Manila
cigars are introduced in the states
they will become the rage. 1t is quite
likely that steps may be taken to pre-
vent the expectation of the bad quail
tiles of tobacco, which in times past
have given bad reputation in this
country to the Manila product. There
are eight large cigar and cigarette fac
tories in Manila, which employ from
400 to 1000 operatives each. Beyond
these houses, which contine them
selves mainly to the higher grades of
the market, there are nearly 100
smaller factories.

MADRID DISPATCH DIscREol1Eu
Report That Foreign Troops Were

Report That Foreign Troops Were
DISCRIMINATING at Manila Denied.
Madrid, March An official dis
patch from Manila says:
The situation here is very serious.
The foreign warships are disembark-
ling troops. General Rios will leave
Manila and go to Zamboanga, island;
of Mindanao.
Washington, March 1.-The govern
ment officials here discredit the state
ment in the above dispatch that the
foreign warships are disembarking
troops at Manila. Spanish sources of
information respecting affairs in the
Philippine islands, they say, are not to
be relied upon, as the press aud people
of Sapin do not hesitate 10 circulate
statements inimical to the interests of
this country.
Secretary Alger was shown the dis
patch and, without entering into dis
cussion of it, simply said he had heard
no news of that sort. Such of the dis
patches reaching the war department
yesterday from General Otis that were
made public were confined to routine
matters, while Secretary Long said
last night he had not word from Adj
miral Dewey during the entire day.
General Otis has repeatedly stated i'll
his dispatches to the authorities here
that he has the situation well in hand
and there is no reason to believe he
would have trouble in keeping order
at Manila where the cream Of his
troops are stationed.
The press dispatches from Manila
also show the general satisfaction
conditions of affairs in that city and
that reasonable protection is being af-
forded to the lives and property of for
eigners, thus atfording no necessity of
outside interference.

post of Fort Robinson, City Marshal
Frank ID. Mooney, of Crawford, lies in

The latest craze among young women
who devote great portion of their time
to the popular sport is the golf corner.
One corner of the room occupied by the
fair enthusiast is entirely filled with
sticks and other Implements employed IN
the game. If the young woman is an
expert and has been fortunate enough to
win several medals and other trophies,
these are tastefIlly arranged upon a
three cornered table which sets close
to the wall Dangling from the gas
jet are the balls used in the victorious
games, and the wall is decorated with
photos of famous golfers. Those who
are fond of extremes have golf sticks
shortened and inserted in the spoke
holes of small reception chairs as backs.
The sticks are firmly glued to the
foundation and the crooked ends show
off very prettily when gilded and turned
in different positions in which they are
held to strike the ball.

ROYAL PRE1ENDER GIVES UP.

New York, March 1.-The Brussels
correspondent of the Herald says:
The Due d'Orlenns, who came to
Brussels six days ago to watch events
in Paris, last evening took a train to
Turin, confessing that he had no
chance against the republic.
He allowed an interview, in which
he asserted that NJ. Deroulede had not
acted on the royalist account, but on
the contrary, had Numbered terribly
and destroyed the royalists' chances.
During the whole of the dukes stay
in Brussels, where he led quiet. un-
eventful life, he has been watched and
followed, step by step, by French de-
tectives, some in disguise, some riding
bicycles and some on foot.
One succeeded in passing himself
off as a Partisan monarchial journalist
and interviewed the duke, who con-
fided his hopes to him.
Prince Victor Napoleon is consid-
cred here a much more serious pre-
tender, because less impatient, more
dignified and absolutely silent. He
also is watched by French detectives.
They learned that he often drives an
automobile. and sometimes even VEN
lures few miles into French terri
tory. So they got an automobile from
Paris to follow him in case of need.
One notable feature of hestory of the
Due d'Oileans is that although he
went to PIE royal palace of the count
of Flanders, he was neither received
by the king or the kings brother. He
only received the visit of the duke of
Vendome, and it is believed that the
king discreetly advised him through
the latter to prolong his stay in Bel
gium as little as possible.

THE BEEF INQUIRY.
Ex-Commissary General Merely
Before the Court.

Before the Court.
Washington, March 1.-When the
court of inquiry into the beef charges
met today Lieutenant Charles F. Dwir,
of the Ninth infantry, testified there
were numerous complaints as to the
canned roast beef, but no official ac-
ton was taken, as it was difficult to
get anything in the way of rations at
the front. The army felt the commits
sary department was doing the best
it could. =.
After the capture of Santiago the
witness was stationed insthe city, and
his command.'. getting refrigerated
beef early in the day, it was always
fresh and good. He was made sick
once by eating canned roast beef stew,
but otherwise his health had not suf-
fered.
General Robert D. Merely, retired
commissary general of the subsistence
department from 1875 to 1890, testified
he had recommended the introduction
of regular travel ration. Prior to
that the men often suffered on long
trips, living several days on Cooked
rations," which consisted of bread and
meat without coffee. -.
Colonel Davis read documents dat
ing back to 1878 showing that Canned
fresh beef was included as part of
the travel ration.

Speech In Opposition, but

Washington, March AFTER con-
lest that will be memorable in the his
Tory of the senate, the compromise
army reorganization bill was passed
last evening at 7:1O. When the senate
convened at IL o'clock yesterday
morning it seemed more than likely
that the bill might not be passed dur
ing the day. Senator German, OF
Maryland, insisted that his amend
ment providing that the army should
not be increased permanently or be-
rond July L, 1901, be incorporated in
the measure. For several hours it APP
peared probable that his insistence at
least would throw the bill over until
today and perhaps defeat it. An agree
ment was reached finally, however,
and Senator Germans amendment in
I slightly modified form was accepted.
The notable speech of the day against
The measure was delivered by Senator
Vest, of Missouri, but his brilliant elo
uuence availed nothing against the
measure as finally agreed upon.
Germans amendment is as follows:
"That each and every provision Of
this act shall continue in force until
July I, 1901, and on and after that date
appointed to the army under this act
thall be discharged and the numbers
restored in each grade to those exist

provided for by this act who may be
appointed prior to July 1, 1901; and
provided further, that no officer who

EUROPEAN NAVAL STATION.
Tong Considering the Question o
81: It's Restablishment.

ST; Its Restablishment.
Washington, March 1.-Secretary
Long is considering the advisability of
re-establshing the European naval sta
ton. It is probable this will be done
In the near future, as this government
is now represented in European wa
ters by single ship. The vessels
available for this duty are the Brook
jyn, Chicago and Cincinnati, which
would make quite respectable show
ing, though not at all in keeping with
the feet the department would like
to send. Since the war with Spain
the eyes of Europe have been on this
country and when naval vessels are
sent abroad they are more closely
scrutinized than before. For this rea-
son it is desired to send formidable
fleet, one which would be in keeping
with the expansion of the nation and
give foreign officials an opportunity
to see the ships which did such excel
lent work.
The actis 4 of the German govern
ment in Sc. ding the Kaiserin Augusta
to Manila has nothing whatever to do
with the desire to have this govern
mcnt represented by a fleet abroad.
But at the same time it is claimed it
would be good thing to have q few
ships ON the European station in case
Dewey should desire reinforcement.
These vessels would be weeks time
nearer Manila than if in American
waters, as they can go through the
Eucz canal. They would be in reach
of the department by cable, and if it
should become necessary to dock any
of the vessels of Dewey's feet another
could be sent from Europe to take its
place, as it is not the intention of the
administration to weaken the naval
strength at Manila for some time to
come
