THE BANANA’S POSSIBILITIES.
Investigating Its Adaptability for Huge Agrl*
cultural Operations.
A common article of food in the
West Indies Is a flour made from the
bread fruit. The fruit is cut Into
“pegs,” or strips, nnd dried In the sun,
then ground to powder in a' mortar
and sifted. This flour makes a very
convenient and highly nutritious addi
tion to the hamper of provisions the
negro usually takes with him when
traveling far from his home, and he
well knows the art of making it Into
a variety of appetizing dishes. The
plantain is sometimes treated In the
same way, as well as the banana,
which gives a sweeter and richer flour
than either the plantain or the bread
fruit. It Is estimated that the banana
lias forty-four times more nutritive
value than the potato, and Is twenty
five times more nutritious than good
white bread. This fact has Induced
the French government to send a com
mission to the United States and Cen
tral America with a view of investigat
ing the adaptability of the banana
plant for extensive agriultural opera
tions. Should this commission report
favorably on the subject of their in
vestigation anew and vast Industry
will be established, which interests the
United States, from the fact of Puerto
Klco and Cuba, possessing hundreds of
thousands of acres on which the finest
varieties of the banana can be grown.
It is probable that another Industry
will grow up from the association of
this country with the West Indies.
The banana in its candled form is a
delicious sweetmeat. Many people pre
fer It Infinitely to dried figs. It Is sim
ply made. The ripe banana Is ciUlnto
thin slices and laid in the tropicaT% Sat
until It becomes a sweet,
ous mass. The slices are packedJHP
boxes, with a dusting of fine sugar/be
tween the layers, and are readylfor
shipment. This process, thoughfnot
elaborate, requires care and watchful
ness, without which the product Jnay
be Inferior and unattractive. Pt if
the curing nnd packing are properly
(lone and the cured fruit is put cm the
American market, it is not improbable
that it will soon take the place of the
fig for dessert purposes.

MAJOR THOMAS’ REMARKS.
Wliat llp Said When He heard of the Ac

Major Thomas, president of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
railroad, is reported as having com
mented upon the action of the city
council of Atlanta in declining to hear
from the railroads Thursday after in
viting their sepresentntives to be pres
ent, as follows:
“Well, if Atlanta can stand the
present depot, we certainly can, and 1
surmise that the next move to be
made will come from the city and not
from the railroads. We were ready to
make the city a proposition in good
faith, and onr representatives, having
been invited, were there for*that pur
pose. The council, no doubt, knows
its business, and if it cares to let the
matter rest where it is, it will suit us,
if it suits Atlanta.”

ANOTHER FILIPINO STRONGHOLD
EASILY CAPTURED.
RESISTANCE, HOWEVER, WAS FIRM.
Colonel Funston, of Kansas Regiment,
and Other Officers are Wounded in
the Engagement.
Advices received Thursday from
Manila state that Major General Mac-
Arthur has carried San Tomas, after
encountering a strong resistance.
Brigadier General Hale moved on
the enemy’s right and Brigadier Gen
eral Wheaton attacked the loft in a
daring aharge.
Colonel Funston again distinguish
ed himself in that charge, and the
Kansan was wounded in the hand,
while several other officers and enlist
ed men were also wounded.
Colonel Summers, with a part of the
Oregon and Minnesota regiments nnd
a gun of the Utah battery, took Moa
sim, on the right, resting four miles
from San Fernaudine.
The Filipinos are retreating toward
San Isidro, and it is expected that they
will make a stand at Arayat, at which
place the whole of the rebel forces in
the province of Panganga is concen
trating.
It is reported that, impressed by re
cent events, the Filipinos are waver
ing in their allegiance to the insurrec
tion and are likely to assume a neutral
attitude.
It seems as though General Antonio
Luna’s forces are destined to destruc
tion within a few days unless they sur
render or scatter.
The American army has been skill
fully posted at| points of immense
strategic advantage. The insurgents
expected them to advance on Ballinag
by way of Puinagua and had furrowed
the entire country beyond Quingua
with the strongest intrenchments. In
stead of taking this course, General
MacArthur swung toward San Tomas,
the route to which was almost unpro
tected.
General Lawton brought his bri
gade in against Balsuam from the
southeast, covering the line of retreat
of the rebels toward the mountains
and depriving them of a refuge upon
which they had always counted. Gen
eral Lawton captured 50,000 bushels
of rice, an important part of the stores
established by the rebels.
The Spanish commissioners have
made another futile attempt for the re
lief of Spaniards held prisoners by
the Filipinos. Their vessels steamed
to the port nearest Dagupan. Fear
ing to land, they sent a letter to
Aguinaldo saying that they were
authorized to give 15,000 Filipinos
now in the hands of the Americans for
the Spanish prisoners. A reply was
received from Senor Maini, Aguinaldo’s
prime minister, which was dated April
28th, and which stated that Aguinaldo
was negotiating for peace, pend
ing which negotiations he could
not discuss the question of the ex
change of prisoners.
In spite of the peaceful overtures of
their commissioners, the Filipinos
vigorously resisted the advance of
General MacArthur’s division from
Apalit toward San Fernando, fighting
desperately at long range, after run
ning from trench to trench when driv
en out by the American artillery.
In addition to Colonel Funston, of
the Twentieth Kansas, being wound
ed, one lieutenant was killed and four
were wounded while leading four com
panies of the Kansas regiment to out
flank the enemy.
General Bale pushed along the road
flanking the trenches.
More than a hundred sick and
wounded men from General Lawton’ii
brigade were brought to Manila from
Malolos by Thursday night’s train.
ALGER SPEAKS AT BANQUET.
Secretary of War Meets Many Comrades

RAILROADS TURNED DOWN.
Atlanta* Ga., City Council Paralyses Their
Depot Proposition.
The proposition of the railroads to
build a $500,000 union passenger sta
tion in Atlanta was rejected by the city
council Thursday.
It was not even given the courtesy
of consideration, and Atlanta turned
her back on the lailroads and the state
of Georgia lost a prospective improve
ment on her property
Of course the railroads were not
yearning to spend half a million dol
lars in Atlanta, but they had practi
cally agreed to do so if the city would
bridge Whitehall and tunnel Loyd
streets.

Government Reservation on Tybee Island
Is Given a New Name.
By formal order issued from the
war department, the fortifications on
Tybee island, Georgia, and the mili
tory reservation at that point will

honor of James Scriven, colonel and
brigadier general of Georgia militia
during the war of the revolution, who
w as killed in action at Midway church,
November 24, 1778.
FRESH REBEL TROOPS
Are Brought to Oppose the Onward
March cf the Americans.
A special from Manila under date of
May 7th, stated that to clear the Fil
ipinos of Bacolor would be the next
task of the Americans.
The rebel general, Mascardo has a
force of 7,000 men there, well armed
and possessed of plenty of ammuni
tion. His troops have never met
American soldiers, and they think, ac
cording to reports carried to Sau Fer.
nando, that they can whip the whole
lot.
Bacolor is well intrenched and thou
sands of natives are working like
beavers digging trenches aud carrying
the dirt in baskets. The enemy uses
his riflemen for fighting onlyr but
compels the 8010 men and Chinese to
labor incessantly.
The rebels have an outpost about a
mile beyond San Fernando, with a
trench that holds between two snd
three hundred men. From thp.t point
several volleys *were fired Saturday
night upon the camp of the Twentieth
Kansas regiment.
Neither Major General MacArthur
nor Major General Lawton moved
Sunday, although each reconnoitered
the country in his own vicinity for
some miles from headquarters, devel
oping the presence of small forces of
the enemy.
In the vicinity of La Guna de Bay
the rebels are extremely active, but
the lines of General Ovenshine and
Colonel Wholley, who is commanding
General King’s brigade during the
latter’s illness, have been materially
strengthened, and there is no danger
in that direction.
The armed steamers La Guna de
Bay and Cavadonga, under Captain
Grant, have gone to Guagna, about
five miles southwest of Bacolor, pre
sumably to establish a base of supplies
for the troops engaged on the northern
campaign.
It is rumored that Mabini,president
of the cabinet, and minister of foreign
affairs in the so-called Filippino gov
ernment, who is a radical, is to be suc
ceeded by Paterno, the framer of the
Spanish treaty of 1896. This change
is regarded as significant at the pres
ent juncture.
