The change in the Havana consulate
general has been in contemplation for
almost three months. 1t was fully de-

change, and the only question was where
General Bragg could be placed without
substantial loss to himself. This has been
done. the Hong-Kong place paying about

in allowing to escape from him rather

CADETS ABDUCT PIC,
Sautelle's Educated Porker the
Toast of Virginia Military
Institute Bows.

LEXINGTON, VA, October s.-(Spe-
cia1. .)-Sunday, while Sautelles circus was
enjoying a rest on the island near East
Lexington, prepara tory to their Mondays
work, many of the cadets of the Virginia
Military Institute paid their respects to
the encampment in the afternoon. With
the circus side show there was the usual
educated pig, which attracted the atten-
ton of the soldier boys in time of peace
as well as in war.
The pig recognized the benefits of edu-
cation and proceeded to elope at once with
one of the soldiers. 1t Squealing for the
nonce, but ultimately hushed. though not
of it's own accord. The circus man appeal
ed to headquarters, so it is stated but the
pig could not be found. Then a happy
thought struck the Snowman. He remem-
bered thai "a bald-hea0ed man" was the
person with whom his pig had eloped. 1t
is stated that the cadet battalion was linz
ed up on the parade ground, in order that
the Snowman might select the bald-headed
abductor of the cultivated pig. All ca
diets with closely cropped heads We're or
dered to step to the front. Fifty or more
responded. Then the nonplussed man care
fully inspected the line, but ''all cadets
looked alike to him. Finally he settled
upon one unfOr tunate as the man who mad
beguiled his animal away by his mastery
charms. The poor accused individual i'm
mediately established an alibi, for he had
not, it is related upon good authority, been
away from quarters that afternoon.
The circus man departed without his
pig a sadder but wiser man. The culti-
waited porker, however, was returned this
afternoon, but not until it had exhibited
its numerous accomplishments to the de-
light and edification of a great throng OF
spectators in gray. Broom sticks by the
score were jumped over, and additional
educational qualifications were added to
the pigs already heavily laden brain.
While making the journey to the bar
racks, SO a lady who witnessed the elope-
1nent states, the pig was transferred from
man to man, under the first classmen's s
caps, thus concealing the exact locality
where it rested although the animal oc-
casionally proclaimed its whereabouts by
sundry squealings as he journeyed along
the line of cap weareres. A well-known
young man who bears the sobriquct of
Buck L. is alleged to be the one whose
charms caused the pig to elope and leave
it's owner. The young man in question,
however, strenuously denies this, and he
is now given the benefit of the doubt, but
there are many who suspect him.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, October Sine
entire National Guard Of Pennsylvania IS
camped tonight in the anthracite coal re-
gions, the last regiment from the western
.nart of the State having arrived late
this afternoon.
Contrary to expectations, the troops
were well-received, and there was no dis

instance during the day OF any show OF
feeling. and this was manifested at Beth.
lehem. when some boys stoned the second
section of the train bearing the First
Regiment, from Philadelphia. Universal
quiet reigns throughout the entire re-
gion. Brigadier-General Schal. who ar
rived in Tamaqua this afternoon teie-
graphed Major-General Miller that there
was no disturbance Of any kind IN the
district. The soldiers who arrived to-
dav were all scattered throughout Schuyl-
kill. Luzerne, Carbon, and Northumber-
land counties.
The fact that all of the locals through
out the anthracite region have voted
unanimously to continue the strike, would
indicate that the presence Of the troops
will have but little effect in forcing the
men to return to work, and from present
indications it would seem that the set
tlement of the strike is no nearer a soiu-
ton that it has been for many weeks.
