sary for the peace Of Cuba ] am sure
President Palma is patriotic enough to
do So"
Another Cuban who arrived here
Sunday Is quoted as saying that there
were over $4,000 insurgents in the field
at the present time, which was more
than there were in the last war with
Spain.
1t Is announced that the Cuban gov
ernment through agents here had
purchased the steam yacht Peerless,
owned by Charles w. Hardness. The
Peerless arrived in this port three days
ago from Cleveland by way Of the st.
Lawrence river.
The Peerless is the third steam yacht
brought here by the Cuban government
since the beginning OF the insurrection,
and will, like the other two, be used
for coast patrol duty.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Sept. T.-Besides
the eleven schooners wrecked at Belle
Isle recently by storms seven others
with more than 100 persons on board

Peacemakers Petition

Several automobiles loaded with more
or less authorized peacemakers went
westward today but are obliged to re-
turn, not having either government
passes for country touring or creden-
tials for definite negotiations.
Secretary Montalvo has refused to
issue permits to various persons desir-
ing to make these journeys. among
them Senator Sanguilly, Independent.
General Menocal had conference
this evening with Vice President Men
des Capote and arranged for a satisfac-
tory committee of veterans to make
authorized visits to insurgent camps
Alfredo Zayas, the president OF the
Liberal party, moved freely about the
city today and even visited the palace,
where he had a conference with SeCre-
tary Montalvo relative to means Of Sc
curing peace.
Senior Zayas told the Associated Press
that he was hopeful of the final out
come, although nothing like definite
basis for agreement had yet been con-
sidered.
For the present he said he was largely
devoting himself to securing the release
of all suspected conspiratorS. He said
that by tomorrow he hoped something
would have been accomplished.
The police endeavors have really re-
tween the Moderates and Liberals.
The executive committee of the Mod
crate party at a meeting this afternoon
voted to continue it's efforts for peace.
Terms were informally discussed.
1t is generally agreed that Secretary
of War Taft must be eventually the
arbitrator and both in Cuban and
American business circles the hope is
freely expressed that not only will the
United States settle the present strife
but that the American government re-
tains sufficient hold in Cuban affairs
to prevent a repetition of the past
months experiences.
A Cuban gunboat went to Mariel to-
night to bring to Havana "A quantity of
arms and ammunition stored in the
quarantine station lest it fall into the
hands of the insurgents.
The first insurgent band originating i'm
the province of Puerto Principe is re-

guayan.
Ready to Resort to Arms
Felipe Romero, who was instrumental
in reviving the peace negotiations, said
tonight that the insurgents outside of
Havana were ready to resort to arms
at moments notice if evidence de-
Veloped of lack of faith on the part of
the government, but that. they were
anxious to accelerate the peace efforts
if justice was done.

that liberal leaders who hitherto have
had every reason for anticipating arrest
are circulating openly in Havana again,
and even comforting with members of
the government with regard to peace,
and that such insurgents in the field as
have been consulted, while they express
themselves as agreeable to settling mat
ters amicably, at the same time assume
an important attitude which cannot be
said to bode particularly well for a
prompt settlement Of existing differ
ences.
In the meanwhile Cienfuegos is in a
state of siege, communication by tele-
graph being severed, not only in the
direction Of Havana, but TO Santiago as
well.
1t is known that Cenfuegos had not
been attacked up to midnight Sunday,
but what has transpired since that time
is not known here.
All accounts agree that there easily
are 5000 insurgents few miles south
east of Havana, and rumors are in cir
culation that they will enter the city
peaceably If they are not molested but
that they lill fight IL they meet with
resistance.
All visitors to insurgents camps in
Havana province return with this i'm
preston but it is believed no attempt
will be made against Havana until the
arrival of Pine Guerra's force, which is
now variously reported to be from
twenty to forty miles distant. The
general impression is that the presence
in Havana harbor of the American
cruiser Denver will not act as deter
rent to such a movement, the auxiliary
cruiser Dixie having gone to Cienfuegos
and the cruiser Des Moines having gone
presumably to bring to Cuba Secretary
of War Taft and Assistant Secretary
of State Bacon.

All Chemically Pure.

The mistaken idea of a few years
ago, about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails, or
scarcely exists. 1t is a well estab-
lished fact by chemical analysis that
Cream of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum, when exposed to heat, is
not entirely vaporized as is the case
with Alum, but leaves a residue in the
bread, which is injurious. Alum, on
the contrary, is entirely evaporated
while performing it's function during
process of baking, leaving no atom OF
injurious residuous substance. The
words Chemically Pure" enormously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is a mis-
homer. Baking Powder made Of pure
Alum is as chemically pure as made
from pure rea of tartar. These
words mean nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals, and in no way
can they imply that one baking pow
der is Alum and another Cream of
Tartar. Alum has been declared to be
wholesome; an established fact. Ev-
cry large water system in the cities
along the Missouri river use Alum in
large quantities to purify the water
before pumping it into their water
mains for consumption. Cream OF Tar
tar baking powder is perhaps good
enough for any one; Alum baking
powder is better, and very much
cheaper.

THE SOLDIER CRAZE.
Handicapped at Birth He Leads an

This little fellow comes into the
world only half dressed, while his
cousins are all provided with full suits
of armor to protect them from their
enemies. His head ard legs have a
hard, shelly covering, but the hlndef
part of his body is soft and tender.
Dear mel" he cries, when he mas
himself alone on the beach, Il must
hustle round now and find some sort
of a covering for my poor, shiverlng
body. How neglectful my mother was
to leave me in this condition! Why,
there is M sister scampering along
with a snail shell on her back! what
a neat little house it makes! l wonder
how it would fit me?" And TINS pei
ligerent infant grabs hold OF his un-
offending relative and tugs and pulls

he cries triumphantly.
AS he is creeping about en- the sea

suddenly a dark shadow Ialls on them.

The Pup Had a Good Time.

of town for a vacation last week, has
forwarded to his mother a letter from

DoNkEYs TURN UP TOES.
Don't Know Enough to Get in Out
Of the Rain.

The war department has learned
through experience that the American
donkey has not enough to live
in the Philippines.
Some time ago, more in the nature
of an experiment than for any other
reason, the bureau of insular affairs
sent a dozen American donkeys, con
monty known as "burros," to Manila
for use among the Spanish-speakiEg
people. The natives did not take
kindly to the new species, however,
but rather looked at them from afar
of.
Seven died. Such was the news re-
ceived at the bureau recently. When
the torrential rains set4in the little
animals were caught out in the open,
and not knowing how to shelter them
selves like the native beast of bur-
den, seven docile, dumb beasts turned
up their toes.
'They ought to die" said a war
department official who has a deep
interest in everything pertaining to
the Philippines; they ought to die
if they don't know enough to get in
out of the rain"

cross in the section marked "deport-

he twisted his small handkerchief
into hard knots, and tried to hide part
of his chubby head behind the chair
in which his father sat.

North Dakota Solves the AdulteratIon

- So Alh
North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products" Anew law
has recently gone into effect designed
TO make 1t impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz: pure
white lead and linseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments. or mixtures Of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label TELL" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, II any one wishes
to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called white leads" no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But if they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little sometimes n real
white lead.
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
err, the question would be solved. 1t
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want.

You may regard this experiment

hardly necessary to give the reason

the pressure of the atmosphere holds

there is little or no air.

The Central American Soldier.

These barefooted soldiers are an
tagonists not to be despised. Nearly
worthless in attack, they are neverthe-
less tenacious ir- holding a position.
a trait that comes from their Spanish
descent probably. In the Cuban cam
paign Gen. Garcia is said to ha We said
in reply to the remark of an American
officer: "The Spaniards never at
tack" This may have been true In
the main, but the defense of the
trenches at Caney showed that the
Spaniards would hold a position with
as much courage and tenacity as any
other troops. The Central and the
South Americans have not generally
showed much steadiness in war, but
there have been occasions when their
conduct has been conspicuous for
gallantry, and all the virtues which
go to make up the stalwart soldier
