to England, where he will act as ad

Manning has assumed command of the
British Somaliland expedition. Three
thousand men will begin to advance
against the Mullah about Nov. 27.
This delay is due to the fact that Gen.

rumored in native quarters that the
Mullah has raided an advance British

1t was during the period Of American
inters sention.
"Our relations with the United

found in the negotiations between
Cuba and the United States for a
commercial treaty on the basis OF
mutual tariff concessions. The special
object Of this treaty is to obtain spe-
