THE AMERICAN FLAG DISTASTEFUL TO SENOR BETANCOURT OF MATANZAS. Wantsit Hurled From Cuba, as Was the Spanish Flag _ He Is Likely to Be Given an Opportunity to Explain to General Wilson. Havana, July 17. — The pronuncianiento recently issued in the city of Matanzas, signed “Betancourt” and calling upon Cubans to prepare to hurl from the country the “crafty eagle," as they had removed the “haughty and hungry Spanish lion,” is now believed by many to have been the production of the civil governor of Matanzas. The reasons for this view are not very convincing, but Senor Betancourt has not positively denied the authorship, and it is notorious that he has expressed almost identical sentiments heretofore. He once used language closely resembling that of the “proclamation” in the presence of an American brigadier general and an American colonel. Both officers believe it quite probable he wrote the appeal. If uot its author, then, in their judgment, ho was cognizant and agreed to the use of his name. Many Cuban officers of high rank are also satisfied Senor Betancourt was in some way Intimately related to the publication and the circulation of the address to the people of Matanzas. General Wilson, military governor of the Matanzas-Santa Clara department, will doubtless ask the civil governor for an explanation in case there is no denial from him. The Banco Espauol, the largest financial institution in Cuba, announced recently a semiannual dividend of per cent, payable in American gold. The Advisador Commercial, the leading finance journal, which professes to be shocked at this sud<*l’U change in policy QH part of the bank, f, lts capital is Spanish. Why is not the dividend made payable in Spanish gold? Certamly the must be to please the Americans Fn order7o gain future banking favors. For no other rerson can we see wby the bank did not declare 3.851 2 in Spanish gold.” A prominent banker says the real reason of the bank’s action is a desire to place its capital upon an American basis, particularly at present, when Spanish silver is inflated far beyond justifiable reasons. This autnority says Le considers it will be only a matter of months before silver is reduced to its former level and that it is better to get upon the American basis before that reduction is accomplished. It is understood that for several weeks the bank has been getting rid of a large deposit of silver and has consequently made immense profits. The Santiago branch bought last autumn more than $1,000,000 at 50 cents. This now standj at 34. El Diariobe La Marina says: “If the human ideal is material interest, then the United States possesses the highest form of civilization, but, thank God, the Spaniards and Cubans have been taught in a nobler school. The predominating influence in the United States is capital. Monopoly coupled with the use of machinery has only served in the United Seates to curtail personal intellectual effort, to disappoint ambitions and to make culture and knowledge hardly worth the candle. It is only necessary to glance through the columns of the American newspapers in order to find letters and interviews from returned officers which have gradually changed the entire American sentiment toward Cuba. While the Americans may be richer, stronger, more active and more businesslike than ourselves, they cannot claim to be cultured, uot even to the degree of Spain’s Cuban offspring." The Commercial says: "The worst method of treating the bandits is the legal method and it puts honest men at the mercy of robbers and frontier law. The best method is to capture them, let them try to escape and then kill them. The reason why Mexico now has immunity from bandits is that she has followed this course.” Citizensand property holders at Batabano have protested to Governor General Brooke against the appointment of Martin Casuso as mayor, owing to the fact he is a non-resident. They have asked for the appointment of Major Dubouchet, but Senor Rivera, the civil governor, insisted upon the arbitrary appointment of his own friend. CONTROLLER TRACE WELL Has Not Read Civil Service CoinmiSsioners’ Letter. Washington, July 15.—Mr. Tracewell, the controller of the treasury, has returned to the city after three weeks’ absence in the west. He said yesterday that he had not read the letter of the civil service commission to the secretary of the treasury asking that he request the controller to review his decision of April 1 last upon the subject of the appointment and pay of deputy United States marshals. Although he had seen numerous extracts from the commission’s letter, as printed in the newspapers, and comments thereon, he was not prepared to make any statement as to his probable action, except that he undoubtedly would make a reply thereto. Instructions to Postmasters. Washington, July 15-—lnstructions from the postmaster general to postmasters of the first and second classes directs that whenever action is contemplated looking to the removal of a sailor or soldier of the civil or Spanish war, all the facts in the case are to ba communicated to Washington before action is taken. ______ Ex-Secretary Sherman Improving. Mansfield, 0., July 18.—From John Sherman’s closest friend and former law partner, Henry C. Hedges, it is learned that the venerable statesman is improving slowly from his recent illness and hopes to be about again soon.

HiS FORMER HOME McKinley Negotiating For the Harter Property at Canton. Canton, 0., July 15.—1 t was reported here yesterday afternoon that Attorney Austin Lynch, the law partner of Judge Day, acting for President McKinley, is negotiating with Mrs. Elizabeth A. j Harter for the purchase of the famous McKinley cottage. Mrs. Harter, the l owner, declined to talk for publication. Mr. Lynch said: “No deal has been closed, but negotiations are pending. There are some legal points that I hope can be arranged.” The house is a commodious 2-story frame building with large verandas and , stands on a lot about 100 feet front and ; about twice that depth. It was here ■ the president received nearly 1,000,000 I people in 1896. Friends here do not think that the president will make very extensive changes in the home if the deal is closed. It is thought to be his desire to again possess the home where he began married life 80 years ago, [ which is sacred in memories of children j lost there, and which was disposed of after the death of Mrs. McKinley’s mother, when they removed to the old Saxton homestead, now owned by Mrs. Barber, a sister of Mrs. McKinley. Many people feared that since the death of his mother, Mrs. Nancy Allison McKinley, in December, 1897, and the severing of other home ties, the president might be persuaded to locate elsewhere. Canton is jubilant in the hope that the negotiations now pending may soon be successfully concluded. IMPORTANT Dispatches Iu Direction of Peace Received at Washington. Chicago, July 18.—A special to The Times-Herald from Washington says: Important cablegrams have been received at the state department from the Philippine commission and at the war department from General Otis concerning a uhw move in the direction of peace. All that can be learned definitely about them is that direct overtures for peace have been made to Gen. Otis by Aguinaldo and some of his principal leaders. It was said by a cabinet official last night that if the promises are fulfilled the volunteers now being enlisted will not be needed. TARANTULA’S BITE Minneapolis Grocer’s Wife Not Expected to Live. Minneapolis, July 17. —Mrs. Andrew J. Hammond, wife of a grocer, is critically ill at her home as the result of having been bitten by a tarantula yesterday. The woman, who was assisting her husband in the store, reached for a bunch of bananas hanging on a hook. As she did so she observed the big spider, but before she could withdraw her hand the creature fastened itselt to her index finger and had inflicted several bites. Mrs. Hammond fainted and her husband called a doctor, who gave what aid he could. Small hope of the recovery of Mrs. Hammond is entertained. If she lives it will be due to the fact, the physician says, that the tarantula was a young one. YELLOW FEVER At Santiago Continues to Improve. One New Case. Santiago de Cuba, July 18.—The yellow fever situation continues to improve. One death was officially reported yesterday. The victim was a soldier in the hospital at Buniate camp. Only one new case was reported for the day, a volunteer nurse in the yellow lever hospital, who was supposed to be an immune. Ou Saturday last two cases developed in the city proper. The sufferers are American employes of the local asphalt company. Headquarters will remain at Cristo and the camp continue at Songo until November. Gen. Wood and the members of his staff, however, are living in the city. Pay of Soldiers on Furlough. Washington, July 18.—Assistant Controller Mitchell has decided the family of a soldier who died during the last war while on his one or two month’s furlough in anticipation of his discharge, under order 130 of the war department, is not entitled to receive the one or two month’s extra pay or any part thereof as provided by the act of March 3, 1899. More Klondike Gold. Victoria, B. C., July 17.—Steamer City of Seattle, from Alaska, brought down about 200 passengers and $600,000 or $700,000 in drafts and dust. The richest man aboard is J. Larien of Montreal, who has been on Eldorado creek and in the Klondike for a number of years. Another passenger had $13,000, which he made on Sulphur creek in two years. Statement Was False. Madrid. July 17.—El Liberal, which published a statement to the effect that a deficit of 2,750,000 pesetas has been discovered in the accounts of the Northern Railway company, due to embezzlements, published a retraction yesterday, admitting the story was false and apologizing. Transvaal Franchise Bill. Pretoria, Julv 15. — The Volksraad yesterday adopted the first two sections of the franchise bill. During the course of the debate it was declared Great Britain has caused the present trouble, Joseph Chamberlain being the prime mover. It was added tne new law was lenient and could not be altered. Harrison Declines. Chicago, July 18.—Carter Harrison, mayor of Chicago, has declined an invitation to deliver an address at the Auditorium July 20, welcoming the national Democratic committee to Chicago.

He Refused n 23 Cent Cigar. Some one tells a good cigar story on the late Dick Oglesby which runs something like this: It was during the ClevelandBlaine campaign, and Mr. Oglesby was making his first visit of any length in New York. For the first time Delmon- ■ ico’s attracted hie attention. “What kind of a place is that?” he asked. “Come in and see,” responded his | companion. Uncle Dick went in, and the friend ordered a luncheon, on which the two dined right royally. Luncheon finished, he asked the governor to “join him” in a smoke. The clerk at the cigar counter handed out some fine Havanas. Uncle Dick was in the act of taking one when suddenly he drew back and said: “What’s the price of these?” “Twenty-five cents,” said the clerk. “Holy smoke!" exclaimed Uncle Dick. “Put ’em back; put ’em back, quick!” “But, governor, this is my treat,” argued the friend. “Daren’t do it: daren’t do it! Put ’em back!” “But, governor”— “See here, youngman, ” returned Uncle Dick, “I daren’t do it. Why, man alive, if they ever found out in Illinois! that I smoked 25 cent cigars, whether I paid for ’em or not, they'd turn me cut of the church, and it would ruin me politically forever. No, sir. Five | cent cigars at home and 10 centers in New York are good enough for me.”— Chicago Chronicle. Ice Water VerMUB Hot Water. Ths drinking of ice water is pronounced by scientists to amount to a real crime, and Dr. Brnbaker has declared this question one cf the utmost interest in typhoid fever. He says that if all water should be boiled and filtered there would never be a case of typhoid. The temperature cf the stcmach at the moment the ice water enterg it_is about 105 degrees; the water is 82 degrees. The chilling of and contracting of blood vessels is therefore great, and to the ice water is ascribed the catarrhal condition of the stomach so often suffered from. Dr. Brubaker says water should pot be taken with a meal to any great except, but that hot water taken before breakfast prepares the stomach for action, stimulating the gastric juices’ and washing away the remains of the last meal. Another glass of h£t wgder taken between breakfast and luncheon will be found beneficial and better than all drugs for curing indigestion, since in passing into the blood the food prcductaare carried along with it. Exercise, too, is necessary to help on the action of the stomach. A Millionaire Jockey. Ancient Rome had its racing and its popular and well paid jockeys. Betting ran high, and the excitement of the people over the races and their favorite color frequently led to bloodshed. Caligula—he who made a consul of his horse—passed most of his time rioting with the charioteers. The circus was the place for the racing. The largest of them, the Circus Maximus, about 21,000 feet long, could accommodate 480,000 spectators. Seven times was it necessary to race round the spina, a low stone wall running down the center of the circus. The jockeys drove in a light chariot —usually four in each race—and wore close fitting tunicsand leather caps of dis tinguishing colors. That the profession was a paying one we learn from ancient writers, money prizes and wages being paid. The jockey Crescens. at the age of 22, had amassed a fortune, and Diodes, king of jockeys, left to his son more than SI,OOO,CVO. — San Francisco Argonaut. A Mean Sabterfuffe. Sharp Dame—l must frankly tell you, Mr. Ginx. that my consent to your marrying my daughter has been wrung from me under protest. Mr. Ginx —Eh? Protest? Sharp Dame—Yes, sir. I knew that if I did not consent she would disgrace the family by an elopement. When she ■ wants anything, we all have to give in to her or take the consequences, and long experience has taught me that I might as well try to fan off a cyclone as reason with her when she gets angry, especially if there is a flatiron or a lolling pin handy, and so I just give up at once. Has the wedding day been fixed on yet, Mr. Ginx ? Mr. Ginx —Um—er —not yet, and, in fact, madam. I’m —I’m a little afraid 1 can’t afford to isaxry. Goo-good day —Exchange. Dangerous Fluids. Benzine and gasoline should never be allowed to stand in a bottle or in anything else where the hot sun shines on it. Not long ago a house was set on fire in that manner. Never use either of these inflammable fluids in a room where there is ever so little fire. A match will ignite the volatile fumes exactly as quick as a base burner in full blast We make no apology for this caution, for hardly a week*passes that some one, somewhere, is not seriously burned by careless use of one or the other. Why He Waited. A hungry traveler, a stranger in Red Bank, N. J., entered a restaurant in that town and ordered ham and eggs, as that seemed to be the only available dish. After u e bad waited half an hour, staring impatiently at the bottles in the caster, be summoned the proprietor, whom he questioned regarding the delay. “The ham is all cooked, ’’ was the reply, “but my little girl is still out in the yard waiting for the hen to lay another egg. ” An Employer's Fault. ••Our typewriter is going to leave. ” “What’s the matter?" “She says she wants a position with an employer who has sense enough to see when she’s fixed up to go to the matinee.
