guarantee of order, or anything else of the kind. 1 was told that the trouble had started at Los Mates. An important citizen named Zarzuela. who was a great friend of Ramon Caceres, the late pres ident, who was assass inat ted. had made some criticism of the way Victoria, who was at the head of the army. had had his uncle elected Caceres successor, Vcto- ria ordered that Zarzuela be seized and cast into dungeon, but the officer who was entrusted with the duty told a friend Of Zarzuela's about his orders and Ear zuela wasn't found. The officer and friend were both exilel after an inquiry but Zarzuea sent word 10 Victoria that he wasn't going 10 run away from the country but preferred to fight. So he escaped from Santiago and took to the mountains, where he got together a band of fighters for his own protection. oMre and more people became dissatisfied with the existing regime, and it wasn't long before there was a revolution on.
 "The movement is a general protest against and revolt from tlIe government as now run. The revolutionists are gain Ing all the time and they are going to win. Monte cristi is bound 10 be soon in the hands Of the rebels, who will then move on Santiago. When that falls, which the government anticipates 1t is the intention of the president to escape In the yacht which was brought mp here for him some tisae ago.

Rabbits by the Million
a Consular and Trade Report.


 There are still millions of rabbits in Australia doing incalculable harm and the least cessation of hostilities against them results in rapid multiplication of numbers The erection of netting fences is becoming much more general. The best method of ridding the country of the pest is to wire net and then dig out all the burrows and destroy surface cover.
 on very large properties and lease holds the rabbit pest fig still serious problem. and the government assists by providing netting at moderate price on very easy terms. In hot countries where there is not much surface water the cheapest and most efficient plan is to poison the water which can be reached by rabbits and not by stock.
 The rabbit pest in New South Wales is spreading notwithstanding all that is be- ing done in the shape of trapping. pois- oning, fumeating and digging out. The greed of the rabbit is proverbial and the amount of herbage devoured is consider able. The loss is consequently an i'm mense one.
 The export of rabbit skins from New South Wales during 1911 was s.7ls.s3G pounds as against 5s5o.g09 pounds the previous year, and 3135.0e0 Sounds in 1999 The total exports of rabbit and hare skins from the commonwealth during 1911 were 1c. .3sS 71s pounds, or a little more than hall a million pounds more than the previoui year Farmers are ckary about tn, frozen rabbit industry. as it is not in ths | Interest of the trappers to wipe out ths rodents Experienced men compute tha | eight or ten rabbits eat or destroy ai much grass as one sheep. As there are ss many millions of rabbits in Australia. th' loss in the carrying capacity of the coun- try is appalling.

 American.
 Ben Davis. who is young and owns blush akin to that of the prized apple which bears his name, won the Big Rock blowing match championship. His vic- tory was remarkable In that he had never before competed In the master plowman's class. In no other instance has the championship been won by a competitcl in his first trial
 Waldo Thomas, winner of the big Roclly championship last year, was beaten by Novice Davis. But last week Thomas was second In the Wheatland blowing match to William Fairweather of Wheat land. who was second 10 Thomas al the Big Rock match in 1911. Maurice Williams of Big Rock was third in todays match. He was third last year
 Three thousand persons saw the plow- ing match, although the day was cold and misty. The plowmen had hardly in- ished their contest when rain fell in tor rents and spectators had to hurry to a nearby grove for shelter Those who could crowded into the tent housing the ladies' fair.

HORSE SHIRKS WORK
Animal, When Hitched to Flow, Dis
 locates Shoulder at Pleasure

Alton, Ill, Telegram to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Just how undesirable a horse which knows how to throw it's shoulder out of joint may become to a man who but re- gently acquired him is detailed in a peti- tion filed In Police Magistrate Harry Less ner's court In Alton today. The petition
 was filed by Aaron Alfred, who declares
 that in all the s1 years of his life he never saw such an animal
 Alfred relates that he acquired the horse in the usual process of horse trad
 ing. He and Sigmund Whitman, he all leges, met recently on Myrtle street in Alton. Whitman was driving a good look ing horse, and as fired had been trading horses since he was IS years old, the de- sire to make a deal soon was strong upon him.
 Whitman was willing, and closed the trade when Alfred's bid got as high as $125.
 It was after the horse was taken to Alfred's home, hitched to a blow and put to work that Alfred received one of the most severe shocks he ever has had in all his career.
 The horse plowed unwillingly for a ,zvhie, but when it grew weary it hesi- tated, stopped and threw its right should
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-27

CT out of joint. Alfred said he set to work to rejoint the shoulder ,and succeeded. after throwing the animal to the ground. Then he hitehed the horse to the blow again. After while the animal got weary, and out went the shoulder joint once more.
 'I got tired of putting that shoulder back in place" declared Alfred.
 Accordingly, he led the animal back to Wittmans house. Whitman was not there, but Alfred put the horse in Witt mans stable. Since then, he alleges, he has been unable to see Whitman.
 That horse is wonder, but I don { want him. declared Alfred.
 '1 guess, though, he'll get along in the world. He seems to be able to get out of work whenever he pleases.'

,2OO-MiIe Horseback Ride


 'I got to Santiago the next day by train all right, and there ] started on a 20O- mile horseback ride through the forest to Monte Cristi. making my headduarters at 3 camp in the woods and going in va rious directions from there every day On my final journey to Monte Crsti l stopped at a farmhouse and I want to say that never have l found such hospltable people anywhere. l was not allowed to pay for anything.
 Tn my travels through the forests I saw many bands of revolutionists but never more than h or 20 men at time They treated Americans with the utmost respect. The revolutionsts there don't loot or steal or impress horses. s'Fhey live as best they can. and when they are going to fight they spend two or three weeks getting ready for it. Then they blow conch shell and the men come running out of the woods Most of the fighting is doneyat night.
 Just before T reached Monte Cristi the revolutionists attacked Guayabon a town near the Haitian border Of consider able consequence. The American collec- tor of customs there, whose name is Me Lean. told me the revolutionists had cap tured several thousand rifles and i0Ooa rounds of ammunition from supply train the government had sent out In fact the revolutionists had obtained all their rifles and ammunition in such a way Mclean had left Guayabon and come to Monte cristi for safety He said the government vas suspended there. and he hadn't anything to do
 "The night I was approaching Monte Cristi I was stopped five miles from the town by revolutionists. who told me it would be unsafe to enter the place be- cause darkness was coming on, so stayed outside. About o'clock, which seemed to be the favorite hour for be- ginning a fight. an outpost near the fort which overlooks the town was attacked and there vas heavy firing for about an hour. There were only about 150 men in the attacking force. but while 100 of them were busy with the outpost 50 ac- tually entered the town and undertook to capture the governor. He. however. had managed to get away in tina. After that the town was practically under seize. There were between s00 and 800 govern ment troops in the fort or in the town, while the revolutionists were to have gathered in force to the number of about 200o When I left last Friday morning I was informed that all the roads leading in were held by the rebels. and that the telegraph and all other communication were cut off. For several days before I got away we were on the verge of water fsmine. for the rebels had got possession of the pumping plant up the river tha. supplied the waterworks, and by remov- ing some of the machinery had put 1t on; of business. In fact. not only a water famine. but food famine, was immi- nent. We were glad 10 get away.
