Washington, Nov. Am open
break between Greece and Roumania
will. according to private information
received In this city, soon make the
dangerous situation In the Balkans still
more complicated. During the begin
ming OF the last month, Greece re-
called its diplomatic representative
from Bucharest, and Roumania was
thereby forced to withdraw her minis-
ter from Athens.
The immediate cause Of the breach
was the fact that the sultan recognized
the independence of the Koetso WAL
lachs, a people living near the Greek
border dn Macedonia, which number
perhaps 100000. They belong to the
Roumaniarf race, but were claimed by
the Greeks to be under the command
OF the Greek patriarch in Constantine
pile. Accordingly bands were formed
ON the Greek frontier and expeditions
sent among the Koetso-Wal lanhs to
force the latter to acknowledge Them
selves to be Greeks and to register
that way during the census, then being
taken in the Ottoman empire. The
sultan did not Interfere, and the Koet-
so-wallactls were forced to ask for the
help of Rcumarlia. That country, de-
string to be represented In any future
partition ef Macedonia, gave At help,
and Its Intervention led to the present.
situation.
AS 1t is not possible Tor the two
countries to attack each other either
on land or on sea, the only damage
they can infiict on each other. 1t is
stated, would be through and economic
war, in which according to statistics.
Roumania would have the advantage.
From 1901 to 1904, the Greeks Inn
ported 3,330,000 francs worth Of goods
into Roumanla, whdae the Ros1maniam
imports into Greece did not amount to
more than 100000 frames. It Is also
pointed out that Of the S,057 ships
which visited Roumanian ports during
1903, 1857 were Greek. There exists
between Roumanda and Greece a COM
mercial treaty effective until july,
1906.

the Cuban Congress Is
Optimistic
PAST EXPERIMENTAL STAGE
Trials Of the Island In tho Earlier
Stages Of Government Have Been
Successfully Passed = President
Palma Favors Increasing tho Rural
Guard.

Havana, Nov. president Palma In
session Of the present congress, dis
cussing the agitations during a portion
Of the presidential campaign, said they
were only the trials which all free peo-
pie must undergo in the course OF the
exercise Of their electoral rights and
added that 1t was during these days Of
political campaigning that the eapac-
ity Of Cubans for self-government was
made most manifest.
In the message President Palma adj
mits that there were anxious moments
during the campaign. but fortunate
ly," the president adds, all passed
without serious difficulty and the real
tranquility of the republic was undis-
turbed." The government, the mes
sage said, had not relaxed Its vigilance
and had taken all reasonable precau-
tions necessary for insuring the due
respect of the law.
Wants Guards Increased.
President Palma urgently recon-
mended increasing by 5000 the pres
emit force of 1000 rural guards. He said
postal receipts had trebled since the
republic was inaugurated owing to the
country's prosperity and the increased
railroad facilities and urged congress
to appropriate for urgently needed ex-
tensions and improvements Of the tele-
graph lines.
The islands death rate was given in
the message at 1857 per thousand.
Treating OF foreign relations Pres
ident Palma expressed confidence that
the United States senate would ratify
the treaty conceding Cuba's sovereignty
in the Isle Of Pines He again urged
a modification Of Cuba's tariff so as
Ito make her eligible to membership In
the Brussels convention. The message
did not mention the signing OF the AM
glo- Cuban treaty.
President Palma praised the judici-
airy for its conduct during the recent
disturbed conditions in the province OF
Santa Clara.

100000. and diminished to other
countries, especially Germany, which
shows $1,300,000 less.
President Palma strongly urged the
Improvement and development of agri-
cultural facilities, especially by the
encouragement Of the immigration of
labor, and advised the creation Of agri-
cultural banks, and also Of experiment
tai stations in every province, and sug-
gested that all persons should endeav-
or to increase the good feeling be-.
tween Cubans and foreigners. It urged

grants who will make their homes in

why the Ocean Doesn't Freeze.

Why the Ocean Doesn't Freeze.
If the ocean did not have salt It
would freeze somewhat more readily
than 1t does now, but there would be
ne very marked difference.
The ocean is prevented from freezing
not so much by its salt as by its size
and by its commotion. On account Of
its size, large portions of 1t extend into
warm climates at all seasons, and by
reason of Its great depth it is vast
storehouse Of heat. It's currents dis
tribute much warm water among the
cold.-St. Nicholas

Dog Tried, Convicted and Hanged

Dog Tried, Convicted and Hanged.
William Chambers. the famous Eng
lish publisher. once related an extraor-
binary story of sheep thief hangel
at PEBBLES and buried at crossroads
with stake through his body. The
remarkable feature of the case was
that the thief's dog was tried for AID
ing and abetting In the crime, convict
ed, hanged and buried along with its
master. It was proved at the trial that
the man when out with the animal
used to indicate to 1t some particular
flock of sheep he wanted. After reach
ing home the dog returned to the place,
rounded up the sheep and by devious
ways. and only after dark, drove then
home. There they were kept for some
days and their owners marks destroy
ed or faxed" They were then grad
ed with others legitimately purchased
and driven to the English markets.
