CURED during Intervention. The Re
public for two years after the establish
ment of an independent government shall
maintain relations with foreign countries

United States. The Republic shall make
no treaty which might be prejudicial to
the interests of the United States, nor
shall 1t accept any compromise which
might bring about the right to occupy the
territory of the island or Intervention in
its government or custom houses.
During four years the United States
shall have the right to garrison the Cuban
forts with its own troops, provided the
Cuban flag floats with the American flag.
The Republic shall acquire territory in

THE TEXAS OIL BOOM.

DALLAS. Tex. Feb 1.-The syndicate
at Beaumont in control of the Lucas oil
well are rushing operations on the pipe
line 10 Port Arthur. Forty-three car
loads of material arrived yesterday and
today, and the laying of the pipe is well

A town has been laid off fifteen miles
south of Beaumont, called Ell Vista.
More than dozen new houses are in pro-
cess OF construction, and today ground
was laid off for number of storage
tanks. The Lucas syndicate also began
boring well at Ell Vista today, and ex-
press confidence that within the next
thirty days they will have at least three
more gushers of equal volume to the first
well, and of better quality.

Prehistoric Myths.

Among the discoveries made by arch
biologists in recent years are devices and
carvings in Yucatan which have led to
the theory that the Maya tribe, which
inhabited that country in prehistoric
times, sent out missionaries or travellers
who crossed the Pacific and carried the
rudiments of their civilization to Asiatic
countries Among the myths which these
travellers made known we're the story OF
the temptation OF Eve and that of the
murder Of Abel by Cain. This, it is said,
antedates not only Judaism, but the civil
izstion Of India and China.
There was a time when, If such theory
as this found general acceptance. there
would have been an outcry that the foun-
dations of the faith were crumbling, and
that religion was assaiIed by viIulent enc
mics. so closely was literal belief in the
Jewish Scriptures associated with ac-
ceptance CT the truths of Christianity
Nowadays, it might be printed in the
organ of some religious sect and excite
nothing more than a mild curiosity. II is
almost impossible TO believe that the ad-
vocates of the theory of evolution, as OPP
posed to that of special creation, were
ever met with vituperstion, sneers. and
incredulity by theologisns who were col

thinkers. Yet so it was. The obvious

There is now an opening for the pecu-

Hoar which We are bound to regard as
( having the attractive proportions of a

make trouble for the Chevalier Wilcox,
Delegate in Congress from the Hawaiian

the Filipino army under Aguinaldo. We
may remark in passing that the Tagal
leader does not appear TO have been i'm

tion is that on January 81, 1888, he wrote
letter to certain Luzon rebels in which
he expressed a desire TO take pot luck
with them in a position Of dignity against
the United States. In that communica-
tion the chevalier is alleged TO have writ
