The AIhamhra crumhIlnu.

Since more and more American
tourists visit Spain each year, the
news that the Alhambra, the Mecca
Of all pilgrims to that country, is in
greater danger of total destruction
than ever before will arouse wide
government contributes $4,000 pesetas
year for its preservation, but that
sum has proved quite inadequate for
present urgent needs, and one cannot
help wishing therefore, that some
wealthy American art patron might
immortalize himself by coming to the
rescue. That the Alhambra has sur
vived to this day is in itself marvel.
During its five centuries of existence
It has been subjected to severe trials.
Shattered, at one time, by an explo-
has at other times sunk so low as to
be a habitation of smugglers, and
even a stable for French army horses.
The present danger, explains the New
York Post, lies in the fact that the
foundations are being undermined by
water from the old ruined conduits.
Not only are the government appro-
priations insufficient to meet this con-
dition. but the situation is compli-
Gated by a quarrel among the three
directors. This has resulted in the
resignation, after 35 years of service
of the eminent expert in oriental arch
ftecture, Senior Contreras. He has
restored many of the tiles, as well as
the figures and colors and the other
mural decorations, thus giving fair
idea of what the Moorish palace was
in the days of its glory.

Queer Foods of New York Eplcures.

OuccT FOCUS OF NcW IOTh GPICuTcos
History tells us that Confucius liked
sharks fins and sea slugs and birds
nests. Well and good. If a man with
an intellect like that of the great Chi
nese philosopher found these, to us,
unusual foods, palatable, they must be
worth trying. Then there are the pre-
served grape leaves, the picked
squash, and the dried okra of the Sy-
rians. These people of the orient were
civilized long before America was
even thought of being discovered, so
there is no reason, argues the epicure,
why their knowledge and choice of
foods should not be well worth INES
tigating. The other countries have
their special delicacies which, if they
are sought out, appeal to the univer-
sal taste and form an agreeable and
inexpensive addition to the daily menu
of the average mortal who must eat
Bear steak from the west, kangaroo
tails picked, which come from Aus
tralia; preserved goldfish from the
Nile; canned abalone from California
and dried goose from Sweden are
only few of the queer foods kept for
sale In the New York markets and sold
in quantities every day. Until recent
ly, says Harriet Quimby in Leslie's
Weekly, people who relished snails
were regarded with sentiments which
savored of disgust, but that notion has
changed, and at the present time that
delicacy can be procured in almost any
of the f1rst-class hotels and cafes in
New York. In order to meet the
growing demand, one of the largest
caterers in the city imports $4,000
snails every week from Brittany,
where the best snails are grown.

The UTES ARE STUBBORN
A Fight With Redskins in Wyom-
ing Is Probable.
Moorehead, Mont, on Account
of Indian DepredatiOns.

Sheridan, Wyo.-We are going
to visit Chief Whitecow Bull
of the Cheyennes at any cost and will
not be taken back to Utah to starve.
We would rather die first" is the
substance of the answer of Chief
Kannapp to the soldiers. The In
dams are getting holder and pay no
attention to the soldiers. A fight
was almost started Tuesday when
an Indian encountered a sentinel of
the tenth cavalry. The Indian refus'
ed to turn out of the path and rudely
bumped against the soldier. Only the
intervention of some cavalry men
prevented a serious encounter, as
other Indians came up. AS the Utes
are continually on the move in small
bands, cowboys are hired by the SOL
diers as scouts to keep track of the
Indians. The latest report from the
front locates the main Ute band in
the vicinity of Moorehead going
rapidly toward the Cheyenne reser-
walton. Two more troop trains are
reported out of Fort Robinson follow
ing the first train unloaded at Ar
vada this morning.
A messenger who has just arrived
from Moorhead, Mont, says the wild
est excitement prevails in that vicin-
ity on account of the depredations of
| Indians. Wagonloads of women and
children are being driven to places
of safety in fear of more serious
trouble. TIE Spear ranch is being
converted into a fort and is well
| stocked with guns and ammunition. The
ranch blacksmith shop, a log build
ing, is now heavily embarked and
loopholes have been bored in the
walls.
