American Possession.
Friendly natives arriving at Manila
from the country around San Isidri
and San Manuel report that a reign OF
terror has prevailed since the Americ-
an troops were withdrawn from those
parts of the islands. The insurgents
who are returning there deal venge-
ance upon those of their countrymen
who have shown any friendship to-
ward the Americans during the latter's
occupation of the territory. The
friendlies declare that unoffen1ng
people are being murdered daily, knd
that their homes are burned and their
property taken. Plenty OF sympathiz-
ers with the insurrection remained
during the Americans stay, and they
have been reporting these instances Of
frlendlness toward our troops. The
refugees add that the inhabitants were
badly oppressed by the native soldiers
before the American occupation. but
that their condition Is worse now.

DEWEY ADMiREs HoBsoN.
Says That the Merrimae Hero Is Too Rashfui
and Modest.


Admiral Dewey seldom discusses men
or events of the Spanish War, but now
and then he says things full of pith
and point. He allowed himself to talk
OF some of the affairs In the Cuban
campaign to a correspondent n few
days ago. Speaking of the splendid
Merrlmac affair at Santiago, the hero
Of Manila said of Lieutenant Hobson:
II like him. He Is brave man,
dignified and modest. The trouble
about Hobson is that he takes life too
seriously and is bashful."
The programme for the Olympias s
voyage to the United States has not
been definitely decided upon. 1t has
been determined. however, to make a
stop at the Piraeus, from which port
Admiral Dewey will go to Athens to
pay his respects to King George. Of
Greece.
1t is now announced that Admiral
Dewey's flagship will leave June and
will arrive at Singapore on the 11th.
where she will remain two or three

Secretary of the Navy John d. Long.
There was one very disagreeable
feature OF the elaborate exercise-one
might say disgraceful. That feature
were the Kisses and shouts OF derlsion
hurled at the Seventh Regiment all
along the line. This regiment refused
to volunteer when the late unpleasant-
ness with Spain broke out. Its re-
ception was humiliating in the ex-

Tobacco and Bacteria.

1t is now said by bacteriologists that
flavor Of favorite, brands of tobacco is
not due to the excellence of the leaf
but to bacteria which inhabit it. Herr
Suchsland, German bacteriologists
was the first to test the respective quail
tiles of tobacco leaf which had been
subjected to the action of these special
bacteria, and leaf which had not been
so treated. The result was to establish
the remarkable fact that the real flavor
of tobacco is not inherent in itself, but
is due to the microbes which aid in it's
process of fermentation. This exper-
fence is confirmed in other fields. In
the manufacture of Jamaica rum, for
instance, identically the same wash
may be distributed into a number of
cisterns, or fermenting watts. and spirit
of a different flavor may be distilled
from each vat, the wash being affected
by the microbes left from a previous
fermentation. Herr Suchsland culti-
waited the finest West Indian bacteria,
and introduced them into common Ger
man tobacco. Even connoisseurs could
not detect the tobacco so treated from
the finest West Indian growth. AL
though a patent has been applied for
to manufacture high-class tobacco in
Germany by this means, the success of
the new industry is by no means as
sured. 1t seems that the bacteria are
essentially stay -at-homes, and resent
transportation from their own partic-
ular climate. 1t is found that when
taken from their usual haunts they lose
their flavor in spite of every scientific
ruse that has been resorted to to pre-
serve it.

sop.

imperturbable Englishman, ''but that is

In another hour they parted, good
naturedly, and, as they had met, stran-
gers.
Early in April, 1899, two men stood
side by side gazing into the crypt
where lies the body of General Grant.
Neither had noticed the other until the
incidental remark of one. "Undoubted-
ly a great mani" uttered in tones of
unmistakable sincerity, caused the 9TH

recognition was the result.

A Tree Growing Hoarx.

Much interest has been caused lately
by the appearance of q horse chestnut
tree in the Thiergarten, says a Berlin
dispatch The numerous branches
round the lower part of the trunk have
a pure white foliage, such as is seen
on trees growing in dark places, where
no chlorophyll can develop on account
of want of light. The same wh1tenesS
of the leaves is also noticeable IN
few of the neighboring branches
through the crown to the top. The sim
gular appearance of the tree has been
noticed regularly for some years.
This particular tree, it seems, had
been attacked by a swarm of caterpil-
lars and other creatures of the same
Species and the foliage has already
been destroyed; but still masses of cat
erpillars continued to crawl up and
down the trunk, and finally chung there
in clumps. To preserve the beautiful
tree, after other means had been tried
in vain, solution of acid was used.
and the ground all round was watered
with it, as we'll as the trunk and the
branches, which were especially drench-
ed. This treatment proved successful
The tree gradually recovered, and
stands in it's full strength and fresh
ness. but has ever since shown the al
ready described whiteness in it's leaves,
which presents a by no means unpleas-
ant contrast to the otherwise dark
green foliage.-London Standard.
