The international game, in which
half a dozen nations are trying to put
Cipriauo Castro into q corner, with the
aid Of three American wsrships, reached
the speculative stage today. The United
Ststes has received the official assurance
of the British government that he will
not be allowed to aud on British posses
sions. Al announcement is expected
from the French government that be
will be expelled from the Island of Mar
Unique. The sll-absorbiug question,
therefore, is the course that Castro will
take whea be leaves the French colony.
All the countries at which be might land
from a vessel bound westward have been
foreWarned and srs in touch with the
United ; sles to check any move on
Castro's part. The only uncertain ele-
ment 10 this very perpiexiDg game is
Ventzusls Itself and the attitude which
might be tsken by President Gomez. The
State Department expects 40 expression
of views of the Gomez government With
reference to what action 1t will take 10

row. 10 the meantime be will be kept
under surveillance.

TO SEEK cARLorrA FORTUNE.

BRUSSELS. Dec. SO.--For years the name of the ex-Empress Carlotta, wid- ow of the ill-fated Emperor Maximil- ian of Mexico, has been an unspoken one in Belgium, but since the death of King Leopold, who was her brother, guardian and trustee, all sorts of wild stories have been set afioat eoncerning her. During the past week or so sen sational reports have been widely circulated that the ex-Empress long ago recovered her reason but for years had been kept prisoner by King Leo pold. Other stories have it that the unfortunate woman died years ago, but that her death had been kept se- cret by order of the King.
 It is scarcely necessary to state that little credence is given these stories. On the other hand, it is regarded as possible that there may be some foun- dation for the report that the reign. ing house of Austria, to which Maxi milan belonged, intends to make an inquiry concerning the vast fortune belonging to Carlotta. During the for ty-three years that she has been i'm mured in Palace Lacken no one ex- cept those designated by King Leopold was permitted to communicate with her. The King was the sole custodian of the large fortune left her by their father, Leopold I. The papers of the late King are said to contain no refer ence to his sisters fortune and it is believed by many that it was squan- dered in it's entirety by King Leopold ia soaie of his early-bus siaess Ev entures, which were rot so successful finan- cially as were his later enterprises.

during the gala season. So heavy are some of these robes that the king, all though he is selected for his stalwart frame and generally kingly appear ance, has been known to faint beneath the load. The pages who support the train do their best to take the weight from the shoulders of their leader, but at times when the street narrows and the tension of the cords holding rhe train taut has to be relaxed it is usual for the monarch to groan beneath an almost insupportable weight Of fn- cry.
 Besides the kings and their hand some robes a long procession of com ic fioats' keeps the spectators inter- ested, and there are testers. clowns, minstrels, ladies in waiting with their enormous feet betraying their sexl. knights, squires and the rest of the retinue. The only order given to the thousands who take part in the parade is not to keep still or look solemn for a moment.
 At the city hall the procession halts while the mayor and his cabinet re- view the parade. Then for hours it plods along through avenues of cheer ing citizeEs to a point where the com mittee to whom is left the selecting of the prize winners critically scans the costumes and the appearance of each marching band. The prizes, however, do not interest the average citizen. He is only concerned with the procession.
 The scenes by day. splendid as they are. are totally eclipsed by the spec tacIes at night. In fact, the day parade is merely a warming up" for the incidents of the night. The city is aglow with red fire. and the streets are a mass of color. For one evening only the city goes festival mad.

SAN FRANCISCO TO cELssRATs

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Dec. 3O.- Rejoicing in the complete rehabilita. ton of the city and looking forward to year of record-breaking prosper. ity, the business interests of San Fran. cisco are preparing for elaborate fes- tivities to mark the birth of the new year. Tomorrow night the downtown streets will be brilliantly Illuminated, numerous bands will play at street corners and the merrymakers vii De invited to dance the old year out and the new year in. The main attraction, however. will be parade in which gorgeous electric floats which were used in the recent Portola festival will be exhibited once more. All of the leading hotels and cafes are making special arrangements for the enter. tainmnt of the thousands of revelers.

siest and most novel street parade i'm nginable. and d stranger within the gates believes himself transported to New Orleans in Mardi Gras week or to Rome in the carnival period. No where else ia the country Is Jan. celebrated in the peculiarly joyous fashion that the residents of that city consider the occasion requires, and from morn to midnight the streets are crowded with demons and sprites, gods and goddesses. clowns, minstrels. giants. dwarfs. kings, princes, poten. tates and pages. while the air yibrates with the music of martial bands and the earth treTnbles to the tread of marching hosts. No such gay thropg is seen in any other city in the world on Jan. l.
 The affair is what is known as the New Years muminers' or Shooters pa rade, and each year the eceentricity of the costumes exceeds that of the pre- vious year Immense sums are spent on the costumes of tine kings. Of whom there are several in the procession. and numbers of girls are employed for mouths previous to the date of the fes- tiyaI cutting out and embroidering the material intended flor their majesties' finery. The larger the robe and the finer the embroidery the better the chance Of winning Il prize. A hundred young Philadeiphians will form them selves into club and do little else in their spare time but plan aud prepare for the annual parade. paying sub scriptions into general fund. from which the milliner's bill is to be met and looking forward to winning q cash prize sufficient to at least reimburse them for the initial outlay. Sometimes as many as ninety pages are required to support some of the gorgeous robes woru by the kings at this curious fes- tiyai.
 The monarch who staggers along al the front part of this great train is dressed from head to foot in the cost Hest of satin fabric. with a crown tC match. and a retinue of pages dressed in the same coiored costume. so that the effect in the bright sunshine of ont of these kiugs on his royal progress through the streets of Philadelphia ii one that can be surpassed nowhere else hut in New Orleans or in Rome

 E. P. Prescott. for some time con nected with the 4-c.

Prescott has prospected con siderably in Sonora and has located properties, with others, that are in pro cess of development now. The field about Bacoaehi offers good adyant. ages, he says. and. but for lack of water would be the scene of more than passing activity. Prior to the rainy season many natiEes pick out what they consider the richest part of the ground and carefully cull, and pile the dirt into numerous heaps. When the rains come the dirt is beaten away from the nuggets and the toiier reaps his harvest. Families are maintaiaen throughout the year by the proceeds of two, months work Only nuggets are picked. water for washing pur- poses being out of the question, An American concern was formed several years ago to lay pipe lines from the Sonora river to this section. but the funds We're squandered before the pro feet was consummated.
