Estimate of Treaty.

The governments offer of amnesty
which was issued this afternoon is va
riously treated. Alfredo zayas, president
of the Senate, and liberal leader, stated
tonight that he was unable TO expr sss any
opinion as to whether the insurgents
would grasp the opportunity offered them
of surrendering. but said in his opinion
as a lawyer, Secretary Montalvo could
not legally issue such an Older for the
constitution provides that only the Presi-
dent may make such proclamation.
which must be countersigned by some
member of the cabinet.
Secretary Montalvo on the contrary
stated to the Associated Press thai the
offer of clemency was issued by the d.
rect order of President Palma and also
gazetted officially. The secretary added
that the document was in reality an or

sued by direction of the President to
General Rodriguez, commander of the
rural guards.

Americans. criticise the offer of amnesty
as a weak and disa ppointing action. show

a willingness to saec fee the p"oba bility

Secretary Montalvos order does not pro-

Insurgents Return Home.

A considerable number of insurgents are
known to be returning quietly to their
homes in the province of Havana and in
the eastern part of the province of Ha-
vana, and in the eastern part OF the pro-
vince of Pinar del Rio. In the latter
province the situation remains unchanged
Guerra knows nothing Of the Montalvo
order, and If he did 1t IS altogether I'M
likely that II would affect his course ma
terially. At present there is every reason
for expecting that Guerra will hold out
for some time to come.
The district In which he Is operating is
inhabited by liberals who are practically
all tentative IL not active sympathlzers
with the insurrectlon. Then, too. Guerra
has billy Businesses to which he retlres
nightly, and from which It would be prae-
tlcally Impossible to rout him. A favor
able feature of the situation in Pinar del
Rio is that Guerra will not fight If he
can help It. He intends, he says, to re-
main out indefinitely In protest against
the subservience of the Palma administra-
ton.
The Associated Press is reliably in
formed that Asberts force, the main in
surgent body now in the province of Ha-
vana. amounts to $50 men. and there are
100 more in small parties. The eastern
part of the province of Pinar del Rio is
practically unprotected, but there have
only been petty depredations there by
small bands.
There Is some question whether the
Santa Clara band calling themselves Men

TO STUDY AMERICAN METHODS
British Army Officers Will Pay Visit
to the United States.

WASHINGTON Oct. 25. - Mayor
c. F.. Close and Captain Firth of the
Typographical division Of the British
ordinance survey are expected in
Washington next week on a mission
that is without a precedent in the
history of the friendly relations be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain. The purpose of the British
officers in coming here, is to study
the map making system of the United
States. The British ordinance sur
vey makes the official maps for the
British empire. 1t is reputed to be
the foremost organization of it's kind
in the world, but at the same time
there are some points in which the
States geological survey excel. One of
these in particular is the system of
printing maps in three colors, brown
for the contours, blue for the rivers
and black for the roads and town.
The method has been copied from the
United States by the French, Swiss,
| and German governments and it is
expected that England will follow
suit. During their visit here, the Of
| ficers will be afforded every facil-
| ity for investigation by the war de-
| partment, the geological survey and
the coast and geodetic survey

OBSERVE FEAST
OF ST. CR|SPEN

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. %. The
feast of ST. Crispin, which occurs to-
day, is an anniversary now forgotten
by the shoemakers and most every
one else, though there was a time
when the day was religiously observ-
ed in many parts of this country. One
OF the pioneer labor organizations Of
the United States was the Knights of
ST. Crispin, which was composed of
shoemakers. The movement was
started in Wisconsin just forty years
ago and spread rapidly eastward. It's
saims were similar to those of the
labor organizations of today, but the
principles upon which it was con-
Quoted were different. After flour
ishing few years. the organization
became defunct and is now scarcely
remembered, even by the oldest MEM
Der of the craft.
ST. Crispin, in whose honor the or
ganization was named, was a shoe
maker preacher, a teacher of the
Christian religion in barbaric Gaul,
and he suffered a cruel martyrdom
at the hands Of the heather Roman
Consul of Gaul, in 2S7 There is a
tradition that he preached by day
and made shoes by night and gave
them to the poor an angel supplying
him with leather.

A WE'LL SPREAD TABLE. And the Man "FeII Out" with It.

A manufacturer in Mo. says he started out as young man with al- most perfect health, but that, "by the time I was "A my digestive apparatus was so completely wrecked as to make my life positive burden.
 T was neither hard drinker nor an inveterate user of tobacco-my condi- tion could not be charged up to these things.
 T had simply ruined my digestion by a course of living common among those who indulge in unwisely selected food and deny their appetites nothing. And so years passed, during which every sort of food seemed to do just the op- posite of what it should have done with me. A well spread table was offensive to me. The sight or smell of food made me deathly sick. In brief had dys- pepsia, in its worst form, and spent many hard earned dollar for remedies which did me no good whatever.
 "This was my condition when friend insisted that I should try Grape Nuts food, and to please him consented, expecting to derive no more benefit or pleasure from it than I had from other prepared foods that I had tried. But I was most happily disappointed.
 For more than year l ate positive ly nothing but Grape-Nuts-it was my soup course, my meat and my dessert. I never tired of 1t, and grew steadily fatter and more hearty, till I put 40 pounds of good solid flesh that had never been there before, on my bones. My dyspepsia is gone-the memory of a terrible nightmare.

 ders
 It was necessary to postpone the fem der hearing in city Hall yesterday, as only one of the three mem bers of the state railway commission was present. Andrew F. Gates, the lonly commission CT present, waited fo1 his colleagues, o. R. Fyler and w. o, Seymour, for an hour and then declared there would be no meeting. He said the commissioners would consider the matter at meeting to be held in Hartford next Thursday. Mayor Studley, representing the city, and General Manager Punderford of the Consolidated railway, were ready to appear before the commissioners.
 Mayor Studley was prepared to read letter from Coroner Mix in which MT. Mix said that, with the present head lights of the trolley ears, the motorman  is hardly able to see his track but very few feet ahead of him, unless on a very bright moonlight night. The cor oner added that on his suggestions of this nature a year ago the trolley com pany had been experimenting with acetylene and other lights, and with good results, and that new system of headlights on the cars will be soon adopted. He added that he had ever found the railroad officials willing and ready to hear suggestions as to im- provements, and to render aid in case of accidents.
 l With the letter was a report from MT. Mix showing that fifteen persons were killed in this city by the trolleys during 1905. In answer to this Mir. Pnderford said he was ready to show that of these fifteen deaths there were only two in- stances in which any fender could have possibly been of any service in averting an accident.

THE BACHMAN TRIAL.
AN INSURANCE POLICY FIGURES
 IN THE EVIDENCE.

Bachman's History--vaIet, Soldier, Bar-
 tender and Farmer-Depies That He
 Was Intoxicated When Assaulted
 Claims His Wife Wanted Him to
 Make Her the Beneficiary in Insur-
 ance Policy.
 The second day of the trial of Mrs. Anna Baehman, and her two sons, Will liam and John Krux, for a murderous assault upon the husband of the for mer, John Bachman, in the criminal sTperior court yesterday forenoon at- traeted another vast crowd to the gall lcry. Interest was awakened at the start by Bachman's resuming the stand and under fire of cross questions from Attorney Charles F. Bollman, related his history. He is forty-nine years old, and has big broad shoulders. He has been euccessively valet soldier, bartender and farmer He said he was valet to Count Won Wrangel, grand son of the famous German field mar shal, General Won Wrangel. This was in 1879. Bachman's employer was the first secretary to the German ambas- sador, Baron Won Keudel in Rome. Bachman said he accompanied the count to Egypt,
 The case will not end until this aft ernoon there being several witnesses that the defense intend to place on the stand. Among these Is Dr. Robert E. Peck, physician at the county jail, where Mrs. Bachman and her two sons have been incarcerated since the night of the commission of the crime, Octo- Der IS. Dr. Peck says Mrs. Bachman's s were black and blue when she arrived at the jail. The defense introduced this testimony to show that the husband had come home drunk on the night in question and beat her.

 Three weeks ofter the affair."" said he, q was unableto think clearly.''
 Attorney Bollman asked him if he had not testified at the trial at Mad ison Gin September) that he had com mitted a breach of the peace against his wife. Bachman did not seem to un- derstand. Judge Robinson said:
 "A breach of the peace is @ technical expression. Quarrel, assault or dis agreement would be perfectly compre- hensible to man of this class"
 At the same time, your honor," said Attorney Bollman, you may see the justice of my question. I have been through this case once before with the witness in Madison, and he understood them we'll"
 The question was altered.
 Bachman denied that he was intoM- cated when he was assaulted. He said that some weeks prior to the attempt made upon his life his wife had asked him to make her the beneficiary in an insurance policy he had on his life This he refused to do.

LIEUT.. TAYLOR GUILTY.

On Charges Preferred by Captain Me-
 Masters Reduced Twelve Numbers
 Lieutenant Roy I. Taylor, of the 125th company of Coast artillerey, who asked a sergeant to take a different seat in theater that he might talk to a woman, has been found guilty of ''conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline" This finding of the general court-martial held in New York, and the accompanying sentence, a reduction in rank of twelve files on the lineal list of first lieutenants of ar tillery, was made public Wednesday at the headquarters of the department of the east, at Governors Island. The trial of Lieutenant Taylor has attract ed the attention of every military post in the country.
 The offense which brought Lieuten- ant Taylor to trial occurred in the Ly- ceum theater, in New London, October 24.
 The lieutenant entered the theater and found Sergeant Patrick F. Butler, of the 125th company of Coast artillery, properly uniformed, occupying a seat near those he had engaged.
 1t was brought out at the trial that Lieutenant Taylor approached Sergeant Butler, saying, Sergeant, you had bet ter get your ticket changed and get your seat somewhere in the rear. Ser geant Butler changed his seat and let the matter drop, but Captain McMas- ter commanding the 125th company, who was present, preferred charges. Captain McMaster is known as one of the strict disciplinarians of the army.
 The specification of the charges stat ed that Lieutenant Taylors action had the effect of humiliating Sergeant But Ter. The opinion of the reviewing au- thorlty says that the reason for Lieu- tenant Taylor addressing the sergeant is so evidently on account of the lat ter being a soldier in uniform, and the lieutenant's explanation given in testi- mony is so at variance with candor, as to warrant a more severe sentence, In the Endorsement of the finding of the court-martial it is said:
 Tt is hoped that the sentence of the court and it's approval by the review ing authority will leave no doubt in the mind of any one that the uniform of a soldier is mark of honor, which must be respected in the service of the Unit ed States"
 Lieutenant Taylor testified in his own behalf that he requested Sergeant But Ter to change his seat because a party of friends had seats in the same row, On cross-examination the lieutenant admitted that the family party did not occupy that seat and that stranger might have obtained 1t.
 Colonel Louis V. Caziare of the artil- lery corps was president of the court martial, and Captain Delamere Sker' rett was judge advocate. The sentence of Lieutenant Taylor will be forwarded to the war department for approva and execution. The lieutenant will bt released from arrest.
 1 Lieutenant Taylor was graduated from the Michigan Military academy 1T 1897. He served through the Spanish. American war with the S5th Michigan infantry, and was lately commissioned second lieutenant of the 45th Volunteei infantry, U. s. A. In 1901 he was mus tered out, and shortly afterward ap pointed second lieutenant in the artil lery corps.

Eagan was the contractor whose business it was to carry the mails from the postoffice to the Consolidated station. The wagon was wrecked in ah accident. Eagan refused to pay Joyce his wages, alleg- ing that the wreck was due to his care lessness.
