PUERTORICAN PRICES RAISED
All the Necessaries of Living In
creased by the Change.
GENERAL Wall OF COMPLAINT.
The Change Took Effect August 1 and
Caught Many Unpreparsd - The
Banks wero Crowded After Closing
nours-Other Events of tho Week.
Prices Raised in Puerto Rico.

August marked the beginning of
genuine raise in prices throughout the
island of Puerto Rico, caused by mis-
understanding OF the exchange of cur
rency. Until week ago it was widely
known that after Aug. l no more
Puerto Rican silver would be exchanged
but the notice of the indefinite extern
sion of time was published far and
wide. Still, the idea prevails that
hereafter the peso will be of no value.
On July 81 the banks were crowded
after hours. Through a combination
of the traders throughout the island,
food stuffs and other necessities rose
in price. With a very large number it
was moving day-a day for fitting
from excessively increased rents to
cheaper lodgings. 1t was also a day
on which money that usually bought
breakfast and dinner, bought break
fast alone. Eggs that heretofore were
bought for two or three centavos, cost
10 centavos, the carbon for loiling
these eggs, instead of costing 10 centa-
vos cost % certavos. The cost of every
other article of food was raised in
about the same proportion. The wall
of complaint was general.

TRANsVAAL WAR ITEMS.

Gen. Hunter reports the surrender OF
1000 more Beers, LOO rifles. ESQ pom
les and an Armstrong gun on the LIST.
President Kruger and Commandant-
General Botha have issued proclama-
tion promising to pay all the damage
done to the farms by the British, pro-
vided the burghers remain with the
commands.
Commandant General Botha is weak
ening. lie has sent u messenger to
Lord Roberts, asking for confirmation
of the report of the surrender of Gen.
Prinsloo and requesting permission to
communicate with Gen. Christian De
Wet.
The correspondent of the London
Daily Telegraph on the LIST asserted
that documents of the highest impor-
lance emanating from England have
been discovered in Pretoria duplicating
members of the house of commons and
other prominent persons in England,
who have agitated in favor of the
Beers. 1t says that startling develop
ments may be expected shortly
A special dispatch from Pretoria,
dated Aug. A, says: Gen. Christian
Dewct is completely surrounded near
Reitzberg, and it is impossible for his
forces to escape through the strong
British Gordon. The Beers say they
will make stand at Machadodorp.
They are short OF ammunition and
food. Gen. Hamilton, by the rapidity
of his movements, prevents reinforce
ments reaching Commando General
Botha.
A belated dispatch from Minister
Conger was received at the state de-
partment on the 5th. 1t came through
Consul Goodnow, at Shanghai, who
transmitted messages received by Mr..
Ragsdale, U. 5. consul at Tien Tsin,
from Mr.. Conger and Mr.. Squers, Sec
rotary of the u. S. legat on at PeSin.
In effect the advices are the same as
those received a day or two ago by the
state department from Consul Fowler,
at Che Foo.
The Boer luminosity to President
Kruger grows on account of the fact
that he and his officials are persuading
the people that South African Republic
paper money is as good as bank OF
England notes because it is based on
inalienable state securities, even though
the state should be conquered As the
English have not recognized this con-
tention, many burghers have bren
ruined and much misery prevails. The
wives and children of the poorer Beers
are almost starving.
A dispatch received at the London
war Office on the 3lst from Lord Rob-
erts materially modifies the statement
of the surrender of 1000 federals under
Gen. Prinsloo, as reported the day be-
fore. 1t now appears that Gen. Prins-
loo, Villiers and Crowther surrendered
with 900 men, 1,432 horses, 955 rifles
and Krupp nine-pounder. Some of
the leaders in some distant parts of the
hills hesitate to come in, on the plea
that they are independent of Gen.
Prinsloo Lord Roberts adds that he
had directed Gen. Hunter to resume
hostlities forthwith and to listen to
no excuses

Robbed a whole Train.

On the night of the 4th two men
held up Union Pacific passenger train
just west of Hugo, Col, and robbed
the passengers in the Pullman sleepers
of their money and valuables. An old
man named Fay, resident of Califor-
MIA, who had been visiting in Denver
and was on his way to ST. Louis, re-
fused to surrender his valuables and
fred shot at one of the robbers but
missed. Thereupon the robbers fred,
one shot entering Fay's mouth and
coming out at the back of his head,
killing him almost instantly. The rob-
bers stopped the tram and jumped off
and escaped

AS result of a pitched battle with
moonshiners near johnson, 20 miles
from Pauls Valley, |. T., one deputy
marshal was slightly wounded and an
other, Schrempsher, of Pauls Valley, is
missing. The band escaped under
cover of darkness. Schrempsher is be-
lieved TO have followed the band and
been killed. The outlaws are part of
n band that was raided near Centre q
few days ago, when five of its mem

Tire. po.sons In robaeco Smoke.

S Binz, in the Deutsche Aerzte-Zei tung. says there are three kinds of poi. son in tobacco smoke: nicotine; that which is obtained by the slow ash for nation, pryridin, etc, and carbonfc OK ide Carbonic oxide is always easily shown to be present in tobacco smoke. Its percentage depending upon the vol ume of the smoke gas, varies between 06 and 7.6. The variations depend upon the rapidity of the ash formation and the quantity of the atmospheric air drawn in or the lung air blown out. A never-so-slight acute poisoning from carbonie acid of tobacco smoke is, un- der ordinary conditions, scarcely to ba expected Whether the daily taking in of the small quantity of carbonic oxide which. through many years of smoking, gets into the blood of smok- ers. cannot set up chronic injury, is s question still to be sAttsed.

ENoLAuD's BORROWED ARMIES
Has Secured All Over Europe to Hire
 Soldiers
222 Micthell

Soldiers.
 This is the first war Great Britain has fought against white enemies with out buying foreigners to fight fer us, says London paper. Until less than 50 years ago. wher we had war on hand Ea sent eff 70 Germany and all over Europe. t rsge men to fight for Us. The men engaged were most ly old soldiers, and were hired to fight until the war was finished. Tn 1756 an invasion of England WAS feared, so 6.000 Hessians were hired to come and defend these shores against the ex- pected attack. These hirelings were paid at the British rate of pay, and for every man of them killed their king was paid so much per head. Even against the American colonists Hes sian troops were employed No won- der our fellow -Eng1ishmen were en- ragged at this shameless action. The iandgraye of Hesse was paid s2, ,355s- GOO in per cent stock for the Hes sians lost in the war Of independence. This was the amount Of $50 per man. The Irish rebellio1 of 1798 was put down chiefly by Hessian hirelings. In the long struggle with Napoleon we freely hired foreigners. but the bulk of the work was done by British sol- diers. Wellington found that he could not rely op his mercenary gangs too much. Tn 1804 the Kings German le- zion" of 10.00o men was formed. Two years later the force was increased by 5000 men. Besides Germans from all the petty states, there were also en- listed French royalists expelled by Ma poleon. Gorsicans. Greeks, Italians, Turks, Portuguese. Belgians, Hangari- ans and Swiss. At Waterloo, Yelling. tons army of 67,000 was made up of only 22,000 British, and the rest were Dutch, Brunswiekers, Hanoverians and Nassaumen. When peace came in 1874 there were no less than 29.000 hired foreigners forming corps Tn the British army. The Crimean war was the last time Britain had to go a-hiring sol- diers. Thirty thousand men had been sent to the Crimea and more were wanted. So the government went to parliament with bill authorizing the enlistment of 10000 Germans, 5000 Swiss and 5000 Italians, at British rates of pay.

Little attention..

If husbands only realized what the little attentions mean to their wives there would be many happier unions. It is not the cost of gift that makes it precious to the recipient. A tiny bunch of violets brought home at night beto- kens the thought given to her even while business occupies his attention. the most triding souvenir of wedding or birthday anniversary becomes a sentiment underlying it's proffering. Women may be foolish, they may be all heart and very little reason, but the man who understands their nature and caters to it is the one who stands higher in their estimation than the one who acts as though all they cared about was material comfort given with any sort ot brusquerie.

 prise.
 In pursuance of the policy now pur- Eued by the consular service of ascer- taining the state of foreign fields as opportunities for American labor, cap- ital and eEterpi ise, Horace W. Allen, consul general to Seoul, Korea, writes for the consular reports under date Of January 28 that Korea now employs nc foreign military officers as advisers or instructors in it's army, and is not likely to do so, ewing to an agreement made with Russia when a large staff of Russian officers were allowed to leave. By this agreement Korea an- nouneed her ability and intention to dispense with further assistance of that kind. The many requests from young men who have recently left the service of the United States asking for posi- tions in connection with the Korean army are futile. There is no demand for their services in Korea. There is no demand for foreign advisers to the i Korean government. Although two Americans who held such positions have recently died, their places have been filed. and there is no further de. mand for assistance of that kind. The newspaper report that one of these 1 advisers had been receiving a salary of l s100, ,000 gold per annum is entirely misleading; such positions pay from l s150 to s250 per month. There is 10 demand for employees on the railroads 1 in Korea. Japanese control and op- crate the steam railroad. and Koreans and Americans are employed on the electric railroads. I believe the posi- tons are all filed Employment with l the mines would have to be secured be- fore coming to Korea. The agent of the mines in America is H. 4. Noble, representative of the Oriental Consoi- dated Mining company San Francisco. Prospectors cannot operate in Korea, and there is no employment with the mines other than on wages. am told the mining company has 10 lack of aR- plicants.

Amazing Expansions of Great Brltnln

 In 1780 the area of the British for eign possessions outside and exclusive of the British Isles, but including Can- ada, the West Indies, and India, may be set down as about 31a millions oi square miles, with a population of less than two millions of white people and perhaps forty-five millions of colored races. These figures, though little as compared with those of 1899, are yet quite respectable. They were vastly greater than other nations of that time could show. Indeed they are greater than any nation can even now show for foreign possessions. In 1899 the British empire contains over 12 mil lions of square miles and 40 millions Of population, of whom 5 millions are white people, that is 40 millions iii the mother country, and 15 millions in the colonies, while the remainder are Of colored races. This represents about nearly one-third of the habitable globe and shows an amazing expansion with in the hundred years.
 Ice In Royal ReIfGences.
 The stores of ice at Windsor, Os. borne and Balmoral are very large. At Windsor there is storage room for bout b00 tons. There the supply is obtained from the lake beneath the north ter race, from Frogmore, and from the lake between Frogmore and Virginia water. Ice is not only lavishly used in the royal kitchen, but also for re- ducing the temperature Of her maies- tvs apartments in hot weather Then it is packed in pretty wooden buckets and stood in the freplaces.
