New York, Dec. 30. A special to
the Herald from Havana says: On
Wednesday 200 insurgent calvarymen
withdrew from the city in a sulk be
cause the Americans refused to recog
nize them exept as individuals. Civil
Governor De Castro advised General
Ludlow to avail himself of tbe services
of cavalary under Colonel Hernandez.
The men entered as dragoons and
hoisted Cuban flags, doing police duty
west of Galia-o street. The Ameri
cans refused o permit them to act as
an organized -"body, and after doing
duty one eight they lowered their flag
and returned to Menocal's camp at
Mariana.
It is known that Gomez feels that he
is not treated properly. Indeed, he
has never received anything but curt
treatment from the representatives of
the American government. Some
time ago he sent a personal represent
ative to confer with the American
evacuation committee. General But
ler proposed that a personal note of
congragulations be sent to Gomez,
but General Wade and Admiral
Sampson refused to join him.
A letter from Gomez has just been
received here. He is wise, enough not
to commit himself further than to say
that he could not come to Havana un
less he came as commander-in-chief of
the Cuban army of liberation, and if
the men who had fought with him for
three years were not good enough to
come he preferred to stay with them.
He scouted tha idea that the presence
of tbe Cuban troops would result in
disorder, declaring their presence
would be tbe best possible guarantee
of good order.
He concludes his letter with the re
mark that he had full confidence in
the good will and fairness of the
Americans as a people, but believed
the politicians were attempting an ex
cuse to compel the nation to break its
most sacred promises.
The Americans are divided in senti
ment, many believing a great mistake
has been made In not giving the
Cubans an opportunity to celebrate the
event which they have fought so many
years to bring about, lieneral Lee
was in favor of granting permission for
tbe insurgents to parade, and recog
sizing Gomez as the head of the Cuban
army. Since General Hrook gave bis
decision, Lee has, of course, refused
to express himself. .

' AN APPEAL. FOB LIBERTY.
Cuban Delegation at Washington De
clares Against Annexation.
New York, Dec. 30. A dispatch to
the World from Washington says:
Tbe Cuban delegation to the United
States has just prepared and sent to
Cuba an elaborate appeal in circular
form to be widely distributed to all
natives to remember that they fought
for independence and not annexation.
The manifesto reviews the struggle
to throw off Spain's tyranny, and re
counts tbe glories of the victory and
refers to the action of the congress in
regard to a stable government being
established.
. "If - annexation' were desired, it
would be better to have brought it
about now than later, and for that
reason it is desired that the question
Should be settled finally at tbe present
time. Yet it is sufficiently known
that Cubans made war and fought for

Washington, Dec. 30. The row
that has been stirred up by General
Miles will undoubtedly delay the final
report of the war inyeptigators. The
commanding general's blood seems to
be up. and it is understood he will go
on the stand again. Tbe prospects for
a long drawn out squabble are excel
lent. Much speculation is afloat as to
whether or not Secretary Alger will
take the stand. Reports are in circu
lation that a number of officers will in
sist that he be ca.led before the
commission, as a means of getting at
the truth or untruth of much of the
testimony that has been taken.

Nevada City District Equaled Some of
the IvluntSlke Region Records.
The city papers are publishing ac
counts of the fabulous richness of the
gravel mines in the Klondike section of
Alaska, and while in some instances the
stories appear to be rather highly col
ored they are not ahead of what hap
pened in different parts of California in
early days. On September 13, 1850,
says the Kevada City Transcript, A.
Isoard, whj is still a resident of our
city, obtained from one panful of gravel
$912 worth of gold dust and small, nug
gets. The gravel was taken from dig
gings directly back of Mrs. C. Beck
man's residence on the upper East
Broad street. From a piece of ground
30 feet square in the same claim Mr.
Isoard and partners took out $164,000.
The old Nebraska, the Manzanita and
the Hirschruan diggings were wonder
fully rich in the early times, as were
many other smaller claims. To obtain
$400 or $500 from a single pan of dirt
was a common occurrence. Many re
markably rich pockets were found on
Eed Hill years ago. In one instance two
prospectors found beneath a bowlder
$1,400 worth of solid gold. It was in
one irregular mass, in shape more like
a platter than anything else, the golden
lumps being joined together with fine
wires of gold.
All of these rich strikes were made
near the city, none of them two miles
away. Notwithstanding the great
quantity of gold that has been taken
out in this vicinity since 1849 there are
yet untold richest buried here in the
gTavel and quartz mines for which Ne
vada City district is noted.
WHISKY SAVED HIS LIFE."

Charles Gross is a white-headed' ne
gro porter on the steamboat St. Pam,
eays the St. Louis KepuMic
Charlie has some very pronounced
opinions, which amount to convictions.
One of these is that, while whisky costs
some men their lives, it saved his.
Seven years ago Charlie was porter
on the Mascot, a packet boat running
between- St. Louis and' Cape Girardeau.
He bad 'been imbibing- a prodigious
amount of fire water when a friend of
his came into the saloon on .the levee
where he was enjoying hiimsel! and
said: "You mus' hur' up, Charlie. Yoh
boat's ring-in' her bell.'
What f she is?" eaid Charlie. "IU
go on the nex' trip," and he returned to
'the cam." - y ; -
The Mascot Went on her way with
out Charlie, and whern she was opposite
Neligh's Landing- she blew up, killing
most of her crew. So Grose is firm in
the belief that an. all-ordering Provi
dence gave irsn that' remarkable' car-.
pacity forfletji Jfluid in order to nave
him from the fate of the sober mem
bers of the crew. .....
. He has sworn- o (since at the emphatic
request of Capt. Burke, but what he has
lost in- the way of accomplishments in
the line of "throwing beer into hisself"
has been the cause of anxiety oil hie
part. He is superstitious about the-
"cup that inebriates" and fears that
some day he will be pundsned as un
gmaitef ul friends are likely to be, by tbe
blowing up of the St. Paul and! all her

After ieBife
Havana, Jan. 2. The sovereignty
of Cuba passed from Spain to the
United States at noon yesterday. Tbe
form of the transfer was simple, con
sisting of only an exchange of speeches
in the salon of tbe palace, the haul
ing down of tbe Spanish flag and the
raising in its -stead of the flag of tbe
United States on the flagstaff on the
palace roof. Salutes were fired from
the heavy guns of the forts and the
warships before and after the change
of flags. The raising of the stars and
stripes was greeted with cheers by the
people who covered the roofa of the
building around the palace and plaza
During a parade of the United States
troops yesterday 23 Cuban horsemen
well mounted and armed, joined tbe
column and rode to Central Park.
They aroused considerable enthusiasm,
Three bluejackets from the Texas yes
terday rowed to the wreck of the Maine
and hoisted the stars aud stripes to the
peak of the wreck. The flag was
saluted by all the ships in the harbor.
An immense American flag was also
hoisted on top of the spars at tbe naval
dock where it could be seen for miles
around.
The people in Havana are in a joyful
mood today in spite of tbe disappoint
ment experienced over the fact that
the projected festivities have been
postponed.. The resentment quickly
subsided and gave place to composure.

PARIS' RAVISHING BEAUTY.
Race for Beauty .Makes the French,
. Capital a. Perpetual Picture.
' I never dreamed of such clothes even
in my dreams of Heaven. But the
French are an extravagant race. There
was hardly a gown worn last season
which was not of the most delicate tex
ture, garnished with chiffon and illu
sion and tulle the most crushable,
airy, inflammable, unserviceable ma
terial one can think of. Now, I am a
utilitarian. When I see a white gown
I always wonder if it will wash. If I
see lace on the foot ruffle of a gown
I think how it will sound when the
wearer steps on it going upstairs. But
anything would be serviceable to wear
driving in a victoria in the Bois between
five and seven, and as that is where I
have seen the most beautiful costumes
I have no right to complain, or to
thrust at them my American ideas of
usefulness. This rage of theirs ..for
beauty is what makes a perpetual
honeymoon for the eyes of every inch
of France. The way they study color
and put greens together in their land
scape gardening makes one think with
horror of our prairies and sagebrush.
The eye is ravished with beauty all
over Paris. The clean streets, the walks
between rows of trees for pedestrians,
the lanes for bicyclists, the paths
through tiny forests, right in Paris,
for equestrians, and on each side the
loveliest trees trees everywhere ex
cept where there are fountains but
what is the use of trying to describe a
beauty which, has staggered braver
pens than mine,- and which you must
see to appreciate? Lillian Bell, in La
dies' Home Journal.

this morniuGr the tipple and top works
of the Carlinville coal shaft, situated
just outside of town, took fire and
burned fiercely. There seemed from
the very start no chance of saving
them from total destruction. Between
70 and 80 men are in the mine, and al
though desperate efforts are being
made in their behalf, it is by no means
certain that they can htt rescured. .
The entire force of 100. men went
to work as . usual at 7 o'clock. Two
dozen of them who were working in
the east leads of the mine, discovered
that the air' wa .foul, and escaped to
the top. 'except Jack Minck and his
son Archie. ..As yet these .two have
not reached the top. The other miners,
working in the west pari of. the shaft)
are still under ground.-; -.: j , v
..The air shaft , is. located., near the
burning plant, ..and . should jthe Are
reach it. there will be no hope .of

hours before the mea's safety can be

"There was one . time in my house
keeping career." said the lady who had
had the experience, "when I thought
there was no use of locking doors, for
thieves would break through anything.
We were sitting at dinner one night
when. I heard a noise that sounded as if
some one was' walking around in my
room.,' I wentup immediately to see,
No one was there, but every drawer in
the room was open and all my jewelry
and valuables of every description that
I kept in my room were gone. . It took
five or six keys to get at them all, as
I. had been very particular about keep
ing1 them locked up. I had not been
cut of the room more than 13 minutes,
andhow anyone not familiar with every
inch of the house; could have accom
plished such a piece of work was a
mystery. There was one tbintf I no
ticed upon entering the room amd that
was a peculiar odor. It'was like a mix
ture of cheap perfume. I had never
smelled anything like it before
We notified the police, and they
worked on tbe case for weeks, but
ctuld make nothing out of it.
"One day when I was passing through
the laundry I noticed that saute strange
odor. -.'
"Mary, what's that- you are iron
ing?' said I; for it seemed as it the
odor came-from -the ironing board.
' " 'It's some of my brother's handkev-;
chiefs,' said she. .
' "We investigated, and of course found'
that the brother was th'e'thief." Da-.
