A NOBLE ENEMY.
The Fate Of Motraai. q Moaiena Chiee
N6g s'H M of Africa.

The Fate Of Motraai. Mesiena Chiee
N66 a'6 NJ of Africa.
France was never IN greater danger
Of losing her colonies in Africa than
during the war with Germany In 1870.
The troops were recalled from Africa
to take part In the conflict that was
going on against France. and Algeria
was left almost defenseless.
The hour for which the conquered
races had long waited had come. and
II holy war had been proclaimed Il
is probable that the French would have
been driven from northern Africa.
But the tribes did not rise while the
French had their hands full on the
other side Of the Mediterranean, and
the fact was due to their fidelity to a
solemn pledge.
When the war broke out a chief OF
great influence among the tribes, Mo.
krani, gave his word to the governor
general OF Algeria that there should
be no insurrection while the war lasted.
That word was faithfully kept. Disas-
ter after disaster followed the French
arms. The defeats of tho war cul.
minated In the surrender Of Paris.
But not man Of the tribes of Kabylia
stirred. The Moslem's faith was
plighted; the Moslem's faith was kept.
When, however, the last battle had
been fought and the treaty Of peace
signed, Mokrani, then released from
his word, gave the governor general
notice that in forty-eight hours he
would declare war. The French
armies, released from duty at home,
hurried across the Mediterranean The
end was inevitable. Mokrani. seeing
that all was lost put himself at the
head Of his warriors and fell fighting
in the front rank. The French erected
monument to mark the spot where
their noble enemy perished.

insurgents at Casajal near Santa Rosa.
After the first exchange of shots, the
rural guards chased the enemy, who dis
persed and fled. The report of this
occurrence was received tonight and
says that 20 reyolutionists were killed
or wounded.
This makes the engagement the most
serious yet fought The rurals did not
sustain any serious injury. Those con-
ducting the affairs for the government
are considerably encouraged, while it is
undeniable there is some discouNgement
among the conspirators, who a week ago
hoped the moderates would be swept
out Of power Immediately. A striking
feature, of the situation Is the compare
tive difference of the masses Of the
people. The average Cuban takes little
interest in the trend of events.

mook-0dds and Ends.

| Captain George Wood. OF the bar pilot
service, has just returned from an un-
expected trip he was. practically, COM
PEELED to take to Victoria, Il. c. He
left out over the bar from this port ON
last Wednesday afternoon. as bar pilot
for the steam yacht FL Impiro, recently
purchased at Portland by a wealthy cit.
i2ensof the Dominion capital. who had
brought over party Of gentlemen
friends to make the home-trip with
him on his newly acquired toy. They
made it, all right, thanks to Captain
Wood. When he got them out to sea,
he found to his amazement that every
man-jack of the party, including the
man whe was to sail her to her desti-
nation land who, by the way, was the
ex.master of a, trans Pacific linerl, were
utterly incapacitated by sea'sickness
and other things. excepting, luckily, the
engineers. So instead of boarding the
pilot schooner Off the bar, as was his
wont under such conditions, he was
simply forced, as a good seaman and a
man OF Judgment, to stand by the help
less crowd, and see them through. This
he did, standing watch at the wheel
of the craft for 10 hours without rest,
and feeling his way up the Washington
coast in dense fog; entering the
Straits of Fuca and picking his way
gingerly along the island coast till 8
o'clock Thursday afternoon, when it
cleared. and permitted him to make the
only time on the voyage. When the Ell
Impiro entered the harbor at Victoria,
the dock was lined with anxious friends
of the yachting party, and as soon as
she tied up, they swarmed aboard, and
made things lively for all hands. A
royal supper was spread, and Captain
Wood was placed at the head Of the
table and made the guest of honor, for
his loyalty in sticking to the benighted
outfit. and after pleasant hour with
them, the doughty old seaman grabbed
his kit and Lit out for the Seattle
steamer, en- route home. He says he
cannot remember when he has done so
long a watch before in years, and has
not caught up with his sleep-allotment
yet.

Almost without exception the Eastern

Representative Crumpacker Of In
diana introduced a bill Thursday as
a substitute for the Beverldge meat
inspection amendment placed on the
agriculture bill in the senate. The bill
defines the authority which may be
vested in the secretary of agriculture

powers Of the state. Provision is
made whereby the secretary OF agri-
culture may accept the inspection of
state officers as to the sanitary condi- !
ton OF packing houses. Where such
state inspection is accepted by the Sec
rotary federal inspection in transit |
will not be made.
Mr.. Crumpacker believes that the
Beveridge amendment in authorizing
federal inspection Of packing houses
Is a violation Of the police powers Of

Iustain this position.
