K' extent that Is almost insulting, whllo no aoclal
jjL intercourse of any kind has taken place between
li, the Elnir and Queen of Italy and their son on
$3 the one hand und tho rclcnlnc family of Austria
on the other, sinco tho mortifying refusal of

" How bitterly the Prlnco of Naples feels tho

iby the court of Austria was distinctly and point
edly shown by his behavior when in London on

It Is due to similar motives, nnd not from any
licit of courogo or of a proper sense of duty, thnt
? KJnt .Humbert is anxious to abdicate. Ho
atr.nrts Irrevocably committed to the Triple Al-

i Shown by the fact that when his father died he

tary training has been of tho best, and there is
probably no heir to nny throno or any reigning
overolgn who has been more rarefully edu

Humbert s fault, all along, lias been that he
has permitted his Ministers and I'arliumcnt to

In this correspondence Count Esterhazy
writes In tho grossest, most Insulting, and
nbuslvo manner respecting- tho Fronch army
and people. Ho says!
. " Our great army chiefs aro enwardsand fools,
and will onoo tnoro pcoplo German prisons."
In another placo ho wrltos that ho would lie

100,000 Frenchmen with pleasure Ho olso says
thnt to seo Paris captured by assault and

soldiers is n thing of which ho dreams.
Count Esterhazy declares that the lcttori pub

Pror. Walter rinds Iftliience or It la a, Prehis
toric lluiilns Ground In Indlau Territory.
WjcniTA, Kan., Nov. 28. Twenty thousand
years ago, according to the announce
ment of Prof. Walters, the archaeolo
gist, a terrible battle was fought on tho
Arkansas Hlvor in the Indian Territory
between the mound builders and the Mayas, in
which over 75,000 warriors bit tho dust. He
has reached this remarkable conclusion on ac
count of his Investigations of a prehistoric bury
ing ground in the Choctaw Indian country,
which he has found to cover thirty acres and to
contain fully 75,000 skeletons.
His attention was first called to the remark
able number of human skeletons to be found
there Beveral months ago, when tho Kansas
City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railway was built
through tbe Choctaw country.
The workmen, in grading, brought to light
tons of human bones and a remarkable num
ber of implements of savage warfare, and
Pror. Walters set about lo investigate the
matter scientifically. To his amazement he
found n largo tract literally underlaid with
these relics of a forgotten race. The skulls were
pierced with darts or arrow's heads, one speci
men containing thirteen moss agate arrow
points. This proved that thov died in battle.
The skeletons wero found burled In sand, and
above the sand were twodlstlnct strata formed
in geological periods. These facts enabled Prof.
M alters to compute approximately the period
when tbe battle occurred.
He has comploted tho facts just learned with
the result of seventeen years' previous study of
tho mound builders, and formed the theory that
tbe buttle was one of a long scries of sangulnury
encounters between tbat mystrrlons race and
tho Mayas, which latter race came from Contrnl
and South America nnd sought to gain posses
sion of North America.

Fartr Iadera In Ihe County Will eiadlr
Consider HuBneallona or the Opposition
and Asrre In Anithln Fair nnd run

Tho desire of the ltopubllcan organization
leaders to do nil that can possibly be dono to
unite nnd hnrinonlre tho party In this city, and
their willingness to havo a complcto and thor
ough reorganization In tho county, beginning
with a newriinillment, if nocessnry, hns alrondy
been told In TllK SON. Congressman Qulgg.
Presldenlof tlio County Committee, gavo out
tho following statement on this subject last
night:
"So much hns been said shout reconstituting
the Republican organization as to make It ap
propriate for boiiio definition of the organiza
tion's potltlon In tho matter. After conferring
with tho lenders of tho parly throughout tho
city I think It safo to sty thnt tbo general sentl
tnont Is substantially to this effect:
"If thcro Is anything thnt can bo dono to
unlle tho party which consists with tho prlmo
American prlnclplo of tho right of tho majority
to rule, It ounht to bo done. We deny tho chargo
thnt our rolls nro padded nnd that Republicans
w ho differ from us ns to party policy nro denied
tho right to enroll. Hut, nevertheless, it Is gen
erally felt that if n now enrollment will secure
penco nnd harmony It ought to bo lied, nnd
tho organisation leaders scorn to bo gen
erally disposed to support tho policy of
a new enrollment under any auspices that
can bo agreed upon ns fair nnd reasonable.
All theso persons who nro clamoring for a now
enrollment aro nlrendy enrolled. They now
h.ivo tho right to participate in our primaries,
and nobody proposes to deny tholr rights or to
interfero with their frco action nt tbo primary
eloctlons. It Is not proposod to cbnllongo them
on the ground that thoy voted for another than
thelleoublican candldato for Mayor In tho lato
election. Tho organization door nhvajs has
been open. Is open now, nnd will remain open,
"Hut, if thut is not enough, It socms to be
the general sentiment of tho organization
leaders to go further, and to go ns far as nny
sano person can suggest, provided always that
ho admits tho prlnclplo of majority rule. Wo
nro willing to have that prlnclplo tested under
nny scheme of organization, whether by elec
tion districts or by Assembly districts. We
nro willing to bavo It tested under tbe
present enrollment or under an entlrelr
new enrollment. Wo nro willing that the
now curollinont should be mado under any
plan and under nny auspices that permits the
full strength of tho Republican party to be
enrolled. Hut wbon all this has been done,
when the enrollment is had, when the prima
ries are held, when tho conventions have met,
and when tho new organization hns boon
created, then the majority, whoever composo it,
should bopcrmlttod toorganlzo tho committee
without the din of factional protest.
"The organization leaders doubt whether
the interests of harmony nro to bo promoted by
any detailed proposition on their part nt this
time. Rut they will gladly consider nnv sug
gestions thnt may bo submitted on tho part of
those who nro In opposition. It must be con
ceded by all Republicans who sincerely desiro
Republican success that there Is not room in
Now York city for two Republican organiza
tions, and tho leaders of tho existing organiza
tion, whilo tbey cannot for one moment admit
the allegations out of which proceed tho clnmor
for n now order of things, are, nevertheless, re
solved thnt the responsibility shall not rest
upon them for further discord nnd actual divi
sion. Ifaslmilnr spirit prevails among those
who nro in opposition there can bo no dllllculty
iu bringing about a completo union."
It Is thus left for tho opposition, which has
been Uniting fault Willi Hie enrollment and tho
organization generally, to formuluto Its plan
forcreatingnn organization which I tinny think
will meet the demand for reform and suggest its
adoption by Iho County Committee. Mr. Qulgg
says, substantially, that anything offered which
is fair anil reasonable, and which Is (Tared in
the same spirit of conciliation which nrluntf-g
the leaders of tho organization, will boudopted.
Postmaster Cornelius Van Colt said last even
ing: "I nm In favor of a thorough reorgnnlratlon:
of wiping out the present enrollment und tho
whole plan whh-h is built on It, and Bturtlns
nfresh. I never was in favor of tho present plan.
I opposed it from its Inception. I told llrnokllcld
it would lo a failure, unit 1 scu he has udmittrd
that it hns prove. t such. Of murse, I favor
nn Assembly district svslcni. It may bo
similar to thu ono wo ui-cd to have,
or not. At any rate, tho Aveiunly dis
trict should be taken ns u unit in tho
formation or any now plan. Any trouble which
hns grown out or the enrollment, other than the
defects which coino irotn constant changes of
rPBlrienio and frequent deaths of uieinhrrs, is
directly chargeable to tholittIepnlltlc.il leaders
who establish themselves at the he.nl of elec
tion district associations nnd tlx things to keep
themselves there. These men nro the election
district captains who conduct tho Republican
campaigns In their ilistric-t. Thov get the c.un
paigu money and uso it ns they please. If they
are Incompetent or shiftless thoy ennnot bo
removed without resort to n tedious system of
red tape. Under tbo Assembly district system
the election districts could he captained by tlio
appo'ntment of the best workers who obtained
best results for the party. If they failed in any
particular thoy could bo Hummarilv lemoved
and superseded. Tho old system was productive
of better resultB at the polls tor these reasons.
"Just how we would bogln to reorganize
that Is who should supervise tho work I do not
know. That is n question which might be
settled as tlio result of n conferonco. Tho great
thing Is to secure nn emollnicnt and a reorgani
zation which Miall bo sutlstuctory to tho great
mass of Republican voters."
Meantime tho annual reorganization of the
County Committee under tho present plan must
be proceeded with ns tho constitution directs;
for provision must bo made against any inter
icgnuiu In the regular party organization in
this county.
In tbo Twenty-ninth Assembly district an
effort is being made to strike a lot of dead woo t
from tho rolls before tho prlmnrios are hold
on Dec. 14. Tho opposition in tho recent
Mayoralty campaign got a copy of tho en
rollment, for tho Assembly district and
directed invitations to nil of the en
rolled members lo attend tho Low mooting

by messenger boys, who reported that they

NKwroiiT News, Va., Nov. 28. Three years
ago persons passing up and down tho beach be
tween Old Point Comfort and Buckroe Roach,
almost Invariably stopped to look at a big gun
with its ugly looking murzla turnod toward tbo
dim outline of the Northampton shoro ten miles
away. It was mounted on heavy timbers,
piled ono upon another, to a height of three or
tour feet abovo the sand. It was a great gun,
and everybody who saw It Bald so. Fifteen tons
of Iron and steel wero rcqulrod In Its construe

as they strolled along the beach, picking up
shells and pebbles, was, bow In tho world tho
mon over got It thcro, and bow thoy would over

For weeks this monster piece of ordnance lay
thcro to bo looked at, and wondcrod nt, and bo
talked about. Finally ono day. Col. Frank gavo
orders for Its removal to some other placo in
tho fort, and a number of mon were dctallod to
perform tho work. Buppliod with the necessary
paraphernalia for lifting tbo great gun from Its
stntion, tho crew of laborers set out for the
sccno of operations. Rut tho gun was gone.
Thcro was not thu slightest traco of It lobe

nnd plainly told Col. Frank that thoy must glvo
It up. And they did, for thcro was nothing elso
to do. Tho gun was gone and there was noth

pounds of steel nnd iron that had been seen nnd

11 vo feet when one or them struck Iron. A hasty
investigation followed. Then thu men went to
work with a will and piled the Band high on
either sldeof the bole. Alter two hours hard
labor they knew they had found thu missing

Tho great storm of three years ago, that
swept up the coast, sent the se.i high up on tbo

tumbled tho gun ncr on tho sand. It then be

the Mayor and many prominent men, but they
wero thcro only lndl tdually.notas representing

and of thanks made by the representative of the

"I thank you nil very sincerely for this gener

"My conviction was thnt with tlio effort
which thnt heart prompted I should loso nil self

bring relict. For two long yo ire I stood ut tho
foot of that ancient throne, pleading thnt

Tlio speech was received with vociferous

Havana, Nov. 27, via Eoy West, Nov. 28.
Reports from Sintlngo de Cuba province have
beon recolved here to the effect that tho im
portant Spanish fort at Polonlto, bctwoen Tunas
do Zasa and Jucaro, surrendered to the patriots
a fow dnys ago aftor a abort engagement in
which only one Spanish soldier was killed and
two wounded. After tho first volley of the
Cubans tho Spanish gave up tho fort with their
rifles, ammunition, and artillery. The whole
garrison, composed of ISO men, surrendered,
but tho prisoners were released by the Insur
gents two hours later. The Cubans belonged to
n detachment of Ucn. Callxto Garcla's army.
Fear of the uso of dynamite by the patriots Is
said to have been the cause of the speedy sur
renderor tho Spanish.
Near tho town of Auras, Santiago de Cuba
province, a train was blown up with dynamite
by tho patriots on Nov. 23. The same day the
insurgents destroyed the track of the Spanish
military railroad nt Picdra Plcada.
The war Is very llvolyln Matanzas. Havana,
and Piuar del Rio provinces, an averago of
Ihlrt) rngugcmenU being roportod dally.
The Insurgent hands aro swarming around
Havana city. They approach Marianno, Guana
bacon, Rcgla, Jesus ilol Monte, and EI Cerro,
neighboring towns, tho first three being suburbs
of the capital, and secure ammunition and
xictuals.
Tbe general impression here is that autonomy
will bo a failure, nnd that it will never be car
ried intooffocton tho liberal terms offered. The
signature uf the Queen and the resolutions of
thu Cabinet mean nothing to tho vast majority
of skeptics In Havana, who rouiembcr that the
reforms of Abarzuza wero also signed by tbe
Queen, and tlio reforms of Canovns were agreed
to by his Cabinet, but they were never carrlod
into effect. A clandestine sheet is in circulation
here thnt says:
"HeforcMclCiiilcy'B message groat and fair
promises: but after that danger Is over we shall
sen ourselves In as bad a condition ns before"
Im I.ucltn prints to-day n sensational editorial
and mimo cable drspiitclwn from Madrid, which
increase thoso pessimistic Impressions. Tho
lespitchossuy thnt tho Government has decided
to leave untouched tbo delicate nnd Important
mutter ot the debt, now over $300,000,000, nnd
it is toromaluon the shoulders of poor Culm,
The editorial says thnt Hun German Gamnzo,
the powerful leader In Spain of an important
part of Sefior Sagasta's party, is opposed to the
autonomist schemes of tbe Government, "and
with IiIb gront influence. It is certain that ho
will command in Parliament a largo number of
vo crs and binder ull tbo plans of Seller Ha
gusta." With regard to the people In Cuba Im I.ucha
Bays that "If prudence in all things dors not
control tbo excitable temper of tbe lo)allst
Spaniards, wo shall see things hero like those
which the Spanish hero ICI ('id saw, and which,
accord int: to Iho legend, were so wonderful that
they mado thu stones talk."
It has hcon generally understood that tbo
popular newspaper refers to tho threats of re
volt among the Union Constituolonnl parly In
caso autonomy amounts to anything moro thnn
a paper pronunciamento.
The same Journal continues Its campaign
against tbo Americans, and tries to prove thnt
tho United States Government is not sincere In
its doallngs with Spain und ts alining at tho
annexation of Cuba under tho pretence of inter
fering to bring about peace on the island.

The Carabaja Country Apparently Very Itlch,
but Hard to Oet Al.
Los Angeles, Nov. 23. A resident ot los
Angeles has Just received n letter from n friend
In the Carabaya district of Peru, whence have
come the recent rosc-hued accounts of new gold
fields. The wrltor had been In the region Bevernl
weeks looking Into tho opportunities for Invest
ment In gold mines, and had studlod tho country
carefully. He says:
"In the first placo. it would be folly for indi
vidual miners, unless backed by plenty of capi
tal, to como hero to dig gold. Nevertheless, tho
country Is very rich, and thero is not a Btrenm
in it that does not carry gold. Comparatively
sneaking It has not beon opened up at all. Veins
and deposits exist everywberc. Rut tbe district
Ib extremely difficult of access. Somo portions
of tho latter part of the wny In are impassable
on mulcback. In the dry season you walk up
the river beds in water that Is rarely above
your hips. In tho wet season you take to the
hills, whero tho paths are very slippery and bad
To cross some of tho rivers a slnglo Iron rose Is
stretched firmly across, and a carrlor, suspended
from pulleys, is rolled from side to side. The
tropical vegetation nf the trnnB-Andean region ,
constitutes a great Impediment. I
"The country, moreover. Is exceedingly dim- ,
cult to prospect. It ts covered with a thick
forest growth, so that tho mines of to-day aro '
discovered from tbe rivers and mountain
streams. Thut is. the sand which these streams
bring down Is washed to seo If It contains gold.
If it does, tho stream ts followed up nnd Its banks
examined to find tho origin of the gold.
"The only mine of nny consequence now being
worked Is tho Santo Domingo, which was ro
cently purchased by an American company for
$280,000 cash In American money. Many other
mines have been taken up, both washings and
veins, but so far nothing of Importance has
been done with them. The amount of gold that
bus been taken out of tbo Carabaya district dur
ing tbe Inst year and a halt can uo put at about
2,500 pounds, but most of this catno from the
famous Sau to Domingo mine.
" On account ot tbo sale of tho Santo Domingo
for so good a price every owner of a mine thinks
be has something worth millions, but before In
vesting money It is well to inspect tho mines
and tho country, and consider tho cost of get
ting machinery into tho district. To get ma
chinery from the nearest railroad station to tho
Carabaya region costs about $250 a ton, Ameri
can nionoy. Stamp machinery is dlvldod into
small sections, so that it can be packed on tbe
backs of Indians where the way Is Impassable
for mules. The climate Is very good. Although
the rainfall is heavy and the climate tropical,
fevers are unknown. Tho temperature varies
from about 70 degrees Fahr. in the evenings to
00 degrees In tho shade and 130 degrees In tho
sun In tbe daytime. Food has to be carried into
tbe district on the backs of Indians.
"Tho ore in nearly nil parts of the district Is
very similar, and usually occurs in a slate for
mation. Tbo vein of the Santo Domingo varies
from eighteen inches to eight feet in width, and
carries gold In all parts, varying from 8 to 800
ounces to tho ton. In somo Instances almost
puro streaks of gold have been found. The vein
can be traced about three-fourths of mile, but
probably goes much further. Most of the work
men employed at prcsont are sent out on con
tract from the nearest towns bv the authorities,
and receive 40 cents a day, Bolivian money.

duelna Their Apple Trade.
Ottawa, Nov. 25. It is generally admitted
that Canadian packers practically had the
British apple market in their own hands at the
beginning of tbe season, but lost It through the
deliberate shipping of inferior and badly packed
stock. Culls were shipped in large quuntltles,
care being taken to put good apples both at
the top and bottom of the barrels. This old
trick is still as much practiced In Canada as
over, and all orchard-packed apples are likely to
bo so put up. The British iuoket for Cana
dian apples has gone to smash several times
durlnirthe season, owing to the large quantity of
culls dumped upon It by men who caro nothing
for the credit of tbe business. Honorable ship
pers aro thus mado to suffer on account of
these discreditable practices, for English
dealers who nro oncn loaded up with unsalable
fruit of Canadian origin will not buy again un
til confidence ts restored. It is well known that
a certain inrge packer in Ontario has deliber
ately shipped culls to the British market this
season, hoping to tako advantage of tbe good
prices which obtained thore from tlmo to time.
Such operations have brought the business Into
disrepute, and Incline tho British public to the
belief that knavery is rampant on this sldo of
tho Atlantic. It Is not likely tbat tho English
market will be In a satisfactory state until
after Christmas. Thero are now too many
shipping for the Christmas market, which will
probably cause a slut. Canadian orchard
packed apples are now pretty well cleaned out,
and rrom this time forward practically only
storehouse stock will be shipped. Apples are
exceedingly scarco In tho Dominion, and
ennners have great dllllculty in obtaining sup
plies, as such large quantities in proportion to
tho crops havo bocn sent out of the country,
Kvaporatcd applos, it is reported, will be very
scarce.
