Cuban Soldiers Now Anxious for Share
in Americas S3,OOO,OOO.
HAVANA, May 3O.-The days events
in connection with the payment of the
Cuban troops entitled to apply here for
share in the American gratuity have
effectually killed off the opposition to
the receipt of the bounty by privates.
In American military circles it is con-
sidered that fine start has been made
and that the opposition is defeated.
Three hundred privates arrived during
the day to apply for payment, but
though Colonel Randall, the commits
sioner experimenting the distribution
here, kept his office open from ~ a. m,
to p. m. only 11O could be paid during
that interval as each man took up sew
eral minutes. Many who brought arms
were not on the rolls at all. Ninety-nine
Rifles Wers Surrendered,
most of the applicants declining to take
any chances in turning the weapons
over to the mayor of Havana, evidently
believing it would be better. to give
them direct to the Americans. All day
it was virtually impossible to get
through the front door of the office un-
less the sentry cleared the way. The
Cuban officers, who on the the first day
tried to discourage any who were dis
posed to apply, finding now that the
tide of feeling had turned, are Offering
all the assistance possible to Colonel
Randall. At the conclusion of tho days
work there were more than 20O who had
not been heard. These will have to
wait until after the return of the pay
Gar on June Is, when there will prob
ably be extra days assigned to Havana.

How They Made mumm,e,.


A body might be mummifed in three
different ways, and the price varied ac-
cordinglW In the first and most expen-,
sive method the brain was extracted
through the nose by means Of an iron
probe, and the intestines were removed
entirely from the body through an in
cision made in the side with a sharp
Ethiopian stone. The intestines were
cleansed and washed in palm wine, and,
after being covered with powdered aro-
matte gums, were placed in Canopic
jars. The body was then filled up with
myrrh and cassia and other fragrant
and astringent substances and was laid
in natron for 70 days. It was then care
fully washed and wrapped up in strips
Of fine linen smeared with gum. The
cost of mummifying body in this fash
ion was talent of silver, or about G240.
In the second method the brain was
not removed at all, and the intestines
were simply dissolved and removed in
fluid state. The body was also laid in
ealt or natron, which, it is said, dig
solved everything except thR skin and
bones. The cost of mummifying in this
manner was % min@, or nearly 900.
The third method was employed for
the poor only. It consisted simply Of
cleansing the body by injecting some
strong astringent and then sslting 1t for
10 days. The cost was very small

Lewis Carroll, the author of "Alice
In Wonderland, was fond of puzzling
his friends with curious problems. One
Of them was the question, When does
the day begin7 If man could travel
around the world SO fast that the sun
would always be directly above his head,
and if he were to start travelling at mid
day on Tuesday, then in "a hours he
would return to his original point Of
departure and would find that the day
was now called Wednesday-at what
point Of his journey would the day
change its name? The difficulty of an
swering this apparently simple question
has cast a gloom over many a pleasant
party.
Another problem was as follows: A
rope is hung over wheel fixed to the
roof Of building; at one end Of the
rope weight is fixed, which exactly
counterbalances a monkey which Is
hanging on the other end. Suppose that
the monkey begins to climb the rope,
what will be the result1 It is very Curl
GUS the different views taken by good
mathematicians. One says the weight
goes up with increasing velocity; others
say that 1t goes up at the same rate as
the monkey, while another says it goes
down,

The Lost Rose.

There is ticket chopper at the Park
place station Of the elevated railroad
who could not take prize in beauty
show in any climate and whose mark

the effect of natures handiwork upon
his visage. A lady crossing the platform
in hurry dropped one Of two large red
roses that graced her corsage. It was
promptly pounced upon by the chop

no intention of returning to reclaim it,

in ''guying" him.
At the instant they did so tired
looking woman, dragging a shabbily
clad little girl by the hand, approached
the box. The child, whose great eyes
were sunk deeply in her pale little fore
head, broke loose from her mothers
hand, stopped stock still and began star
ing hungrily at the rose. In an instant
it was in her possession and the great
eyes had gone out of mourning. In two
seconds the unlovely chopper was glow

belligerently than ever, and his friends,
the brakemen, had forgotten to jeer.-

PLAN AGREED ON,


American Con>'aissioners at Tho HaRus
Will suppcrt the british Scheme.
LONDON, May 3l.-The correspondent
OF The Standard at The Hague SAYS;
An important advancement was made
in the direction of a scheme of arbitra.
tion com bining the Russian, British and
American proposals. The representa-
tives of these nations arrived at an
agreement which seems to find general
acceptance. Sir Julian Pauncefote con.
ferred with Seth Low and Mr.. Hollis
and both the British and American pro-
posals were examined with the result
that the United States will support the
Pauncefote scheme for permanent tri-
bunal.
In all practical and essential features
the British and American plans are
identical, but the American delegates
have gone further, covered the whole
field of arbitration and drafted provis-
ions for rehearing in the event ola
disagreement. ut ought not to be diff
ficult, said Mr.. Hollis, ito hammer out
workable scheme from these three

MANILA, May 2v.-The approach Of
he wet season finds the insurrection
seemingly taking new lease of life.
All along the American lines the rebels
are showing more aggressive activity in
their guerrilla style than at any time
before since the fall of Malolos. They
keep the United States troops in the
trenches sleeping in their clothing and
constantly on the alert against dashes
upon our outposts and they make things
warm for the American garrisons in the
towns. The bands of Generals Luna
and Mascardo, which retreated toward
Ardlac when they found they would be
caught between Macarthur and Law
ton, have returned in force to their old
trenches around San Fernando, where
there are daily collisions.
Opposite our forces protecting Manila
all the way round to San Pedro Macati
the Filipinos have three rows of men in
trenches for resistance.
Think the Americans Have Enough.
Their manners indicate that the in
surgents consider the peace negotiations
to mean that the Americans have had
enough of fighting. The Filipinos are
also encouraged by the belief that the
Americans are preparing for an interval
of inactivity during the wet season.
This period is sure to be followed by
much suffering.
The plantations that were under cul-
tivation last year have not been plowed
this year and the Americans are obliged
to feed thousands just as they fed the
Cubans.
Thousands of friendly natives con-
tinue to pour into the American lines
by land and sea. covering the country
where the passage of the two armies
has left nothing for sustenance, throw
ing themselves on the Americans for
support. Thousands of young Filipinos
have been kept by the insurgent leaders
to dig trenches. The United States
forces are distributing rice at Malolos
and smaller towns where Filipino stores
were captured, but the latter will soon
be exhausted,
