Very Respectfully Yours.
REV. E. JENKINS.

Rev. Ephram Jenkins was noted
preacher of color, and minlstered to
the colored Baptist flock in Keytesville,
Brunswick and elsewhere for number
of years. He was negligent of duty
in failing to have this certificate of
marriage recorded within the time
prescribed by law. 1t would, perhaps,
have never seen the light of day had
not the BRIDE become a widow, and
the recording of the certificate of her
marriage made an evidence of her
right to a pension on account of the
military services of her deceased hus-
band.

CONSTITUTION PLANS.
De1n1nG Caba's Relations to United
 States . Di3cuIt Taak.

HAVANA, Nov. 0.-Tha committee on rules of the Cuban constitutional conven- tion is discussing the advisab bility of hold ing secret sessions after the permanent organization has been effected, which will probably take place at the reopenins of the convention next Monday.
 Senores Capoto, Tamayo and Rivera are the most prominent candidates for the presidency of the convention.
 La Lucha says: 'Tho difficulty will not be in drawing up constitution, but in reaching an agreement as to the relations which are ts subSist between Cuba and the United States. We take it that the convention will insist upon three funda- rental pointS-namely, no relations with other governments except through the United States, no power to negotiate loans and no authority to upset peace and order"
 The government is making extensive arrangements for the Cuban exhibit in the forthcoming PanAmsrican e1posi- tion at Buffalo. Grounds have been se- cured there on which will be erected typical Cuban colonial buildings, and $1O,OOO will be appropriated in further ance of the planx.
 The Pan-Ansriean medical congress will open in this city Dec. 26 next.

10 CRUSH HE TAGNLS.
Plan Now Under Way to Be
 Pushed.
General Macarthur Has Prepared the Plans With the Approva! of the War Department-Orders to Bring Home The Volunteers Has Been Rescind- ed For the Present.

ed For the Present.
 New York, Nov o.-Accordin. to 8 special dispatch from Washington to the Tribune, the operations to crush the Tagal rebellion which are about to begin and prosecuted with extreme energy, are 10 be of a thoroughly com prehensive character, tine plan of cam paign having been prepared by Gen er2l Macarthur last month after council of officers. The plan has re- ccived the unqualified approval of the war department. without material
 modification. It involves extensive naval cooperation, including all the regular WarShips on the station. as
 well as the numerous Smal! guuDOatS purchased from Spaniards, which are to be distributed in dotillas. each with q larger as fagships, Admiral Remey
 in the flagship Brooklyn, has just re-
 turned from China to Manila to as Sume personal charge of the operations at1oat, which Admiral kempf. in New ark, already at Cavite, has been map ping out, in conjunction With General
 MacArthur, for several weeks. The details of the campaign are closely withheld at the war department, be- cau3e everything published in this country is sent by cable to the various J
 Hong Kong, and in some mysterious
 manner Aguinaldo is placed in pos session of the information in time to | make counter mO% for his own Se-
 curity. But the departure from Ma nila yesterday of two animal trans ports, each with several hundred cav airy horses and pack mules, for Gigan, in Northern LuZon, and for the South
 ern Islands, indicates that the period r,f o,.y,is,5 nj, 1afA 1 Sive is about to give way to rapid of | fensive movements in the strongholds l of the enemy.
 Coupled with the announcement of | the beginning of rebellion crushing | campaign. the preliminary orders | issued some time ago for bringing | home the volunteers have been re- | cinded for the present. It was in- | tended to start the first of these men 1 home about December 1. in order that
 they could all be discharged in com 1 pliance with existing law before June 1 30. 1901. It was estimated that the
 32,0O0 volunteers now in the Philip | pines could not be returned upon the
 regular army transports and chartered l vessels in less than five months. It | is expected that fully one-half of the l volunteers now in the Philippines will
 be anxious to re-enlist and remain in | the Islands. In that case the trans
 ports can easily bring home the re- l mained in thfee months. The mill | tary force under General MacArthur
 including the troops coming back from | China this week. aggregates 71.0OC | officers and men, in addition to 5000
 marines and 5000 naval officers and enlisted men. The total strength
 ashore and afloat exceeds that of last
 winter by nearly 12,O0O men.

Just as soon as the Americans give conclusive proof of their intention to remain, the rebellion will be on it's last legs.
 ''I do not wish to talk politics. said the bishop, il, response to il question, but there is no doubt that the result of the election on Tuesday will have Q wonderful effect on the situation in the islands.

Coal was S65C ton last winter and the dealers say the conditions of the. trade are not ;ls l favorable now as thegs were then.- Hartford Ccurant.

Attributed to Warm Wave from the South Striking Cold North Wind.


 South Striking Cold North Wind.
 New Haven. Nov 9.-The electrical disturbance which accompanied the storm early this morning was particu- larly severe in this section. though no damage of much consequence is report ed. The lightning display was ve-y brilliant and was accompanied by sev eral terrific peals of thunder which aroused the whole city shortly before , o'clock.
 Local weather bureau officials say the disturbance was part of the gen. eral movement of the storm across the lake region from the northwest. and that early this morning it was very nearly central over this section. In five minutes during the height of the disturbance one-Quarter of an inch of rain fell. Aside from that shower the precipitation thus far. however has been small. The unusual phenom- onOn of a thunder shower in NOvem- Der is said to be due to the collision of the warm wave from the south. which las prevailed for several days, with q cold wind from the north.
