Brig.

Halifax, n. s.. Dec 6.-The little Brit
ish brig Evelyn, waterlogged and dere-
lict, was afloat in mid Atlantic with her
captain, the mate and sailor aboard,

sci refused to chance their lives by
jumping into the sea, as their three COM
panions did, trusting to the Invergyle's

raging; and after the rescuers, unable
to reach the Evelyn, had endeavored fu-
tiIely to persuade the other three men
to jump, the Evelyn was left adrift
with them on board,
The entire crew was enormously re-
ported saved few days ago.

A new enemy to apple growers has
been found in East Wallingford in
sect, known as the appleseed chalcis,
which bores through the heart of the
apple and causes the apple to grow one
sided, the skin of the infected area be-
ing overcast with copper colored
growth. f. c. Kent discovered the in
sect in his East Wallingford orchard
and sent it TO the bureau of entomology
at Washington for Identification. Word
came back that the pest is rather new
in this country and bids fair to cause
a good deal of injury to apples, also
that the insect winters in the larval
stage in the seeds of the apple and much
may be done to reduce its abundance
by carefully collecting and destroying
all fallen apples.

Did Not Evacuate Guaymas
on West Coast, as
Expected
REBELS THINK
1T WAS A RUSE
By Which the Enemy Hoped
to Get Them to En-
ter Ambush

Hermosille, Mexico, Dec e.-The ex-
pected evacuation of Guaymas, the west
coast seaport, by the federals appeared
to-day not to have taken place, and the
later reports that the federals had re-
occupied Empalme, suburb of the city,
puzzled the insurgent commanders. The
insurgents were inclined to believe that
the evacuation of the suburbs and the
lapparent preparations for departure We're
a ruse TO entiee them into the town. 1t
is also thought possible that the orders
to abandon Guaymas We're withdrawn
at the last coeent.
There appears to be no disposition to
remove the siege of the city although its
capture by the constitutionalists would
greatly assist the military movements
along the west coast and renew CONNER
cial activity in Sonora and Sinaloa.

secured promises of certain concessions
for his company.
The primary dealings between the Of
fetal of the corporation and the govern
ment were through the minister of fl
nance but an agreement being possible,
the company's official took the matter
up through third party with President
Huerta. who without loss of time, sent
the papers to the company's agent for
signing.
