dig his thumbs into the ribs of q daughter of Ham. The lady would promptly saueal, and try to look coy.
 It is not easy to look coy when you have not got enough clothes on your whole body to make a patch to cover
 black eye. but still they tried it, for the sex seemed to me to be much alike on the inside, whether they dress ill a coat of paint or coat of sealskin. By and by the groom took his bride by the arm and made an effort to in- duce her to leave her maids of honor and trek toward the cabin which
 henceforth was to> be her home. The
 lady pouted and shook his hand off of her arm, while the maidens laughed and
 clapped their hands, dancing in the
 dust-strewn sunlight with such high
 kicking action as would win fame for any ballet dancer in Europe The
 young men jeered the groom and melted him to take charge of his own. He
 hung down his ebony head and looked
 sillily sullen, and the bride continued
 to ''pout." Have you ever seen a saw
 age nigger wench pout, my masters?
 Verify, it is a sight worth travelling far
 to see, First of all she wraps her
 mouth in q simper, and her lips look
 like fold in badly doubled blanket
 Then slowly she draws the corners
 towards the center, just as the universe
 will be crumpled up on the day of judgment. It Is beautiful sight, the mouth which, when she smiled, looked like a sword wound on the flank of horse, now when the 'pout'' is complete, looks like a crumpled concertina. The groom again timidly advances his hand toward the satin-covered arm of his spouse, and the "pout" became more pronounced than ever.
 The white of one eye was slyly turned toward the bridesmaids, the other rolled with infinite subtlety in the direction of Finn who was to be her lord and master; and the bout" grew larger and larger, until WAS constrained to push my way among the maids to get look I behind the bridge, fer fancied the back of her neck must surely get somehow into the front of her face. When I got | to the front again the "pout'' was still | growing, the rich red lips in their mid night setting looked like some giant | rose in full bloom that an elephants | hoof had trodden upon. So the show proceeded. At last one of the brides maids stepped from amid her sisters and playfully pushed the bride in the direction of her horne. Then the ''pout'' gave way to a smile, the white teeth cleaning in the gap like tombstones in ] Highland churchyard had been a pit scared of her "pout' but when she smiled I locked round anxiously for my horse. After a little maneuvering the

Graphic Account of South African

 When I arrived at Jonathans village that warrior was away with band of his young men, SO that I could not see him, though 1 saw his son at wedding which was being held when I reached the scene. 1 was taken through rows of naked, grinning savages, of both sexes, to be introduced to the bride and bride groom, whom I found to be pair of mission converts.

LUzoN IS DISTURBED.
An Attempt to Concentrate Rebel
 Bands.

MANILA, Oct. 23-General uneas> ness prevails in central Luzon. The garrisons report that several bands ot rebels, numbering twenty-five or fifty are endeavoring to concentrate at one point. This, it is believed, is the result of General Malvars efforts at recruit ing.
 Notices which were recently posted on the doors of the churches in Batan gas province urge that an organization be completed in January. There is q periodical scare over this in Manila which is fomented by the sensational papers. The editors of these journals demand that additional troops be sent to Batangas as once, as there are now only 1,200 men there under Colonel McKibbin, in addition to the metropol itan police. The native police, which can hardly be counted on, are not talk. en into account.

 The Philippine commission has pre-. pared libel laws which are necessa. rily most stringent. The newspapers propose to fight these laws through their lawyers. The chief objection is to the unusual powers which are confer. red on the judges owing to the noney istence of jury trials.
 General Chaffee does not expect tc hear of any extensive engagement iL tho island of Samar. He believes the operations there will not result in ar open fight. It is hard to find armed Filipinos, but every man without occu. patton will be compelled to go into a town.
 It is reported that all the rifles cap. tured by the Filipinos at Balangiga are now in the island of Leyte, where many bolomen are known to have gone from the island of Samar Ii fact, Leyte is as disturbed as Samar.
 The object of the re-eEforcements oi American troops now being pushed for. ward is to increase all the garrisons tC thirty eight men. Some of them have until recently numbered only eight. The re-enforcements will also allow the de tailing of q working force to operate in the field, hunting for insurgents.

REPcRT O.. DNANcE.
Admiral O'Ncil Tiiin1ss Limit Reach
 ed In Big Guns.

Admiral O,Ncil Thinks Limit Reach
 ed In Biz Guns.
 WASHINGTON, Oct 23.-Increased efficiency in our big naval guns must be looked for from the use of heavier projectiles and the production of pow tier possessing high ballistic qualities rather than from an increase in the weight and dimensions of the guns Themselves, says Rear Admiral Charles UNeil, chief of the naval bureau of ordnance, in his annual report. The latest types of guns are so large and so heavy, he says, that it is inadvisable to make an increase in either respect, and the bureau now will confine itself to developing weightier projeetiles and powder of greater energy.
 Admiral ONeil believes that the ord- nance equipment of United States na- val vessels is fully up to the highest standard maintained abroad for ves- sells of corresponding age and class and says he knove of no guns afioat or soon to be put ahoat equal in energy to those manufacturing for the United States navy.
 Tn regard to smokeless powder Ad- milal O'Neil says there is no doubt that the grade of this powder made to- day is considerably superior to that of year ago, due to a natural process of development, not to inferiority in the powder formerly manufactured. The ordnance bureau considers the powder question in very satisfactory state at the present time.
 Admiral O'Neil believes that the sub ject of submarine boats Is being given undue prominence.

Certainly the Korean question will not cause a rupture, be- cause Russia and Japan recently arriv- ed at an agreement which makes Ko- req a sort of buffer state, both agree ing to respect her territorial integ- rity.n

WOOD STOLE A MARCH.
Governor Of Cuba Tells His Views
Regarding Cuba TO Secretary Root
Before the Cuban ENJOYS Had u
Chance to be Heard.

Washington, April 25.-The five
delegates to the Cuban constitutional
convention, consisting of Domingo
Capote, Petro Betancourt, Rafael
Portuondo, Diego Tamayo and Pedro
Llorente, which was sent to Washing
ton to confer with the president re-
garding Cuban relations with this
country, arrived here Wednesday.
Arrangements for their visit to the
president will be made through the
war department. Gen. Wood, mill
tary governor of Cuba, also arrived.
Gen. Wood reached the war depart
ment shortly after 9 o'clock and after
a talk with Adit. Gen. Corbin was
shown into Secretary Roots Office,
where a conference respecting Cuban
affairs was held. Senator PIatt, of
Connecticut, chairman of the commit
tee charged with the care of Cuban
affairs, was present, as also were AS
sistant Secretary Sanger and Admiral
Bradford. The latter's presence was
desired as the location of coaling sta
tions in Cuba is to be made upon his
Recommendation.
Gen. Wood entered into thorough
exposition of the complicated Cuban
Sllud ilOH. ne WIS perfectly informed
as to the desires of the visiting com
mission and apprised Secretary Root
of the nature of their errand 1t is
gathered that, next to the subject of
coaling stations and the right of the
United States to intervene in Cuba in
the interests of peace and order, the
Cubans attach most Importance to
the subject of sugar duties. The COM
mission will try to secure a remission
of the United States duty on Cuban
sugar. 1t is suggested that if this
cannot be done at once, then the duty
may be removed gradually, reducing
certain percentage each year until
the sugar is duty free.
The president cannot grant this re-
quest, as it involves change in the
tariff laws, and therefore application
must be had to congress. This may
take the shape of direct joint legis-
lation by the two houses, or it can be
accomplished by the negotiation of a
reciprocity treaty. The Cubans, it is
believed, prefer the latter form.
Tobacco is another subject which
the secretary of war will be obliged
to discuss with the commissioners
and on that point he wanted advice.
The Cubans are extremely desirous
of securing Il considerable abatement
in favor of their own tobacco of the
extremely high tariff imposed by the
Dngley act upon all imported to-
boccoS
