 From far up the bay came the sound of distant putting and Kesler, glanc- ing up, had the pleasure of seeing a new. shining launch coming rapidly down the channel toward the stranded boat Still tugging and pulling in- effectually, he turned angrily to the astonished girl.

TERMS OF PROPAGATION.
Interesting Details of Incipient Upris-
 lnW ln Cuhan Pr0Hince.

 i1g In Cuban Province. Havana, July 21.-Upon what terms the business of Cuban pacification is occasionally conducted is shown by the particulars which have just leaked out of a projected uprising in Orien%,. which recently gave Governor Magoo1 some anxious hours.
 At the palace absolute ignorance Is professed of anything in the shape of disturbance but the interesting fact remains that an uprising was project ed to take place July 12, and would doubtless have been successful had 1t not been for the vigilance of the U. s. Army officers detailed in secret service. Nothing could better illustrate the ir- ritability of some Cuban leaders than the triviality of the incident which started the movement in the direction of the woods
 All the trouble arose from the efforts of Captain Robert W. Alexander. 11th United States Infantry, Quartermaster of the American garrison in Moro Castle. Santiago. to beautify the grounds about the old fortress by set ting out trees. Unluckily he selected eocoanut palms for the purpose and having secured from an acquaintance 100 young trees had them properly placed. While the Captain was con- graduating himself on his efforts to improve Cuban property. for all the work of planting was done voluntarily by the soldiers of the garrison the ru- nor went flying through the whole province that the Americans we're planting cocoas on the Moro grounds and as it takes six years for a cocoa to come into bearing it was of course obvious that the Americans intended to remain for at least that period. Pat riots met in secret and decided to in- yoke the counsel of General Loyuas del Castello of Havana. who is in n condition of chronic agitation over the question of the duration of the Ameri- can occupation and that warrior de spatched two emissaries to Santiago to investigate They visited Moro and with their own eyes saw Captain Alex ander's cocoas. There they were and nothing could be planer than that the Americans were determined 10 remain forever The excitement increased more meetings were held; arms Were distributed to the number, 1t Is said, of seventy-fve rifles with ammunition and rising was set for July 12 under the leadership of one Rodriguez of San tiago and General Cammacho of San Luis. The plan was to begin opera tions by rushing" small isolated posts of rural guards, massacreing them and then. as the insurgent ranks increased atta cking Santiago itself, and if pos siblu. wiping out the American garri- son.
 That there was trouble in the air was soon evident and Lieutenant Dougherty, the American officer in charge of the Rural Guards of Santi- ago made ready to meet it and sent reouisition to Havana for a big lot of cartridges. The secret service of ficers also went to work and exposed the whole plot before the date set for the uprising To the leaders they read lecture on the subject of arbor cul- ture as practiced by American sol diers in Cuba with a solemn warning to abstain from any interference. This sufficed to check their ratriotic ardor and now peace reigns throughout the Oriente

and will probably be pursued with all diligence. It Is claimed that an excur- sion coming from Selma. for instance, and one run on the occasion of a Sun day School picnic, would more than repay the Sunday School for It's time and attention. at the same time giving the church a profit that would in all probability serve in good stead
 The plan is much operated on in the Eastern cities. and has met with much success from financial viewpoint Such a train, besides bringing the Sell ma delegation. would also bring dele gations from ali villages and towns passed and would give the excursion- ists five or six hours In which to visit the pleasure resorts around Montgom- cry and the points of interest in the Cradle of the Confederacy,
 The plans of the club have not as yet sufficiently developed to be put on a working basis. though the agitation will be continued and suggestions re- ceived as to the best means of con- ducting the campaign. The excursion idea, however, will not be limited to the cities around Montgomery, but will also include excursions from cities In nearby States.

Legislature of 1907. The lawmakers of 1S46 would know no more apout the word "mugwump' than the legislator knows of the "Chivalry Party"
 MT. Browne tabulates the political affiliations of each man whose memory he has preserved in his personal re- cord. He marks a number of them "Hunkers. It Is well enough to know that "Hinker' was an ultra conserv- ative whig. one who was charged by his opponents as being opposed to pro- gress The Chivalry Party he alludes to in his notes naturally means the more aristocratic section of the before the war Whig Party. --g
 MT. Browne thus records his impress sion of the Montgomery County dele gation in the Legislature of 1846:
 Judge Bibh. Doct. Billingslea and Ellsberry. whigs. Judge Bibb is a gentleman. honorable and dignified. Doct. Billingslea Is a man of good sense and judgment"
 In the light of the splendid public career of Governor Thomas H. Watts, which was lived out after the session of the Legislature of 1s46 MT. Brownes view of the character of the future Governor of the State was bit pro- phetic. Governor Watts at that time represented Butler County in the House. Mir. Browne had his brief note of him:
 "Watts-Anti- tariff and anti-distri- button Whig. A clever young law yer and wears spectacles
 Of the two Dallas representatives MT. Browne notes but one personally. He says of the Dallas delegation.
 Gayle and General Saunders-S. is Whig. a planter and a gentlemanly. clever fellow"
 A characteristic entry Is that which refers to Representative Northcutt, of Marion County He says:
 "Northcutt-Hunker, anti-Terry. His prevailing weakness Is enmity to the Brandohs of Madison, and to all who are friendly with them N. is as brave as Julius Caesar"
 The Madison County delegation in the House is thus presented in the notes:
