THREATEN TO FIRE ON CLVDEJJNER. American Ship Sails for Closed Ports and, Consul Says, if She At tempts To Run Blockade, She Will Be Sent to Botrn-n. New York, November 16.—The agents here of the Clyde line steamer Cherokee, which had trouble with the Dominican government authorities on her last trip to that island, declared today that tne Cherokee will sail torgiy on her regular schedule and will pursue her regular itinerary, stopping at. Samana Bay, Monte Cristl, Sanchez, Puerto Plata and Ma coris. Manuel de Galvin, consul general from San Domingo to New York, said that the Cherokee will surely be sunk if she at tempts to enter the five harbors named. He says the entire San Dominican navy, the gunboats El Presidente and Indepen dencia, are on guard to maintain the blockade of those ports, now in the hands of th'* rebels under Jimine®. Consul Cal van continued: ••Acting on orders from my govern ment I have notified Collector st £*JJ**‘*“ that the ports of Samaryt Bay s j\"^, z ’ Puerto Plata, Moafl.e Cristl and Macoris are closed and that the Clyde steamers cannot be cleared for them. I do not know what action he will take. 1 under stand the Clyde line is taking cargoes tor these ports as usual, several P°‘t shipment have c/Iled here to ask me about the situation. They say that the Clyde line agents tell them that the Cherokee If going to these ports und<.r escort of United States vessels. I think they will l,nd ’boy ire mistaken if they tnfnk any-' thing of that sort. It is a peculiar con dition of affairs The Clyde line Is under contract with our government of such a binding nature that even if there is only one port of cal! open it must continue its services. It is even bound by its con tract to carry our troops from port to port if we desire it. Now with five of the principal ports c/iscd in a traflio which at best gives the lino a very poor business you can readily ace that ships cannot make express, but what can you expect?

I alt sure the United Stales government is in sympathy with our government In this matter and will not countenance the carrying on of any attempt to enter the ports which we have declared closed.” No Ships Will Be Sunk. Washington, November 16.—The state department today received a notice from the Dominican government through the consul general In New York that it had closed by. decree, to commerce for the duration of the Insurrection, the ports of Monte Cristo, Puerto Plata, Sanchez, Ma coris ami Samana. It Is stated here that this notice is given to prevent a recur rence of the mistake made by the Do minican government in attempting to blockade Puerto Plata recently without giving the requisite notice. As to wheth er or not the new decree Is respected, the officials say nothing can be told at pres ent. It will remain for Captain Briggs, of the Baltimore, and Minister Powell to determine whether or not the blockade proposed is really effective and under no circumstances will tiie state department respect a paper blockacre. The Dominican government or the in surgents, whoever attempts to establish a blockade, must have the ships present to make ft effective. The officials have not the slightest fear that the Domini can government will try to sink any reg ular Unied States liner so long as the Baltimore is in Dominican waters. City Shelled by Bebels. San Domingo, November 17.—The polit ical situation here is serious. The in surgents are bombarding the city. Gen erals Wenceslao Figuero and Juan Frisco Sanchez are refugees in the foreign lega tion. The city is completely invested by 4.000 men under Pichardo and four other gen erals. A general attack is expected within a few days, General Wos y Gil refuses to capitulate and it Is bedeved the lighting will be severe. The situation is desperate and fighting in the streeis is likely to occur at any moment. The United States cruiser Baltimore has been compelled to leave to recoal. United States Minister Powell is en deavoring to protect American interests with the limited means at his disposal. A Gorman naval vessel Is ready to land troops nt a moment's notice. The Insurgents endeavored to have Minister Powell recognize them, but this the minister refused to do. The revolutionists fired on the Clyde line steamer New York as she was en tering the port of Samana, but the ves sel was uninjured. The Dominican government has ap pointed Minister of Foreign Relations Galvan and Jutfgre George Gray, of Dela ware, as commissioners to arbitrate the Santo Domingo improvement matter, as the resTTM fl? Minister Powell’s effort to compel the carrying out of the-terms of the protocol. Commissioner Galvan will leave for the TTnited States tomor row.

The revolu tions's of San Domingo today applied to the state department for recognition by the United States. The application was presented to the department by J. M. Giordan, who represented hints. If as the provisional agent of the revolutionary government, of which General Jiminez is the head. The state department has declined the recogniton. informing Mr. Giordan that it had been the unbroken policy of the state department to recognize only de facto governments and if Minister Powell, who is on the spot finds that the revolution ists have actually established a capital and opened ports and is able to protect life and pro’-.-rtv, he will recognize it. It is believed that Mr. Powell has not looked with favor upon the recognition desired by the revolutionists, who have threatened to invalidate and repudiate any arrangements which the United States minister may have made with the tottering government of President Wos y Gil. Blockade Not Recognized. New York, November 17—The United States government has refused to recog nize the blockade of San Dominican ports made two days ago, and has protested against it. This was confirmed by Col lector Stranahan, of the port of New York, today. The collector received tele graphic advices from the treasury de partment advising him that the state de partment does not consider the blockade effective, and has entered a vigorous protest against it The collector, in con formity with his Instructions and the. protest, has notified masters of vessels sailing to San Dominican ports that clear ance papers will be issued for any ports in San Domingo, thus officially refuting the effectiveness of the blockade. At the offices of the Clyde line it was said that the Cherokee would clear tomorrow for her usual trip, calling at the ports which the local Dominican consul says are •‘Beyond the Hills.” 'T can hear the drums as the army comes From beyond the hills.” he said. And h<- leaned and smiled like a happy child As he shook his snowy head. And he clutched his cane while the far refrain Came in murmurs to his ears, But they whispered low: "He has dreamed it so. And it Is no drum he hears.’’ "I can hear :he fife ns it lea,ps with life, And the drums roll madly, too.” Was the old man’s sigh as with kindling eye He would hum the warsongs through. "1! Is Jimmy Shea—that is how he’d play When the road wns hard and long: And it’s Billy’s drum that is calling, ‘Cornel’ As it keeps time with the song.” And bls fingers slim beat a tattoo grim On Hie stout arm of the chair, WTiile his lips grew stern and his eyes would burn With the fire that onco was there. "O. the bugle call, and the drums and all!” He would say, "Their music fills ATT the night and day; I can hear them play In the march beyond the bills.” "I can hear the drums, .and the army comes From beyond the hills.” ho said. With his eyes aglow he saluted slow And he touched his snowy head. Then his eyes were closed as if he but dozed. And his day of days had dawned, For the low drum beat had allured his • feet To the hills—and far beyond. —TV. D. Nesbit, in Chicago Tribune. —— «. Perfectly Safe. (From Judge.)

Bye, of this city, I has perfected a wonderful cure of cancer • in the ease of Mr. Jefferson Coker, who 1 was afflicted with cancer almost covering i the entire face. One large malignant i growth on the jaw under the eye was as ■ large as a turkey egg. The patient has been cxe- ecjingly ill for weeks, probably the results of a burning treatment ho had been .subjected to before coming to Dr. ' Bye. Those that, have witnessed the cure pronounce It. most marvelous, as Mr. Co ‘ ker was so weak h< rould scarcely walk. The most extraordinary’ feature of the cure 1- that there is no pain. The I'oe tor's method of treatment, which was dis covered bv him a few years ago. Is an oil which will absorb the indurated parts of can, , r and Iv’cl the ulceration. p, P ._i,l. from forty to fifty patients re ooiving thi treatment at the Doctor’s p] ~-. tp (• are over one thousand receiv ing the I' one t’ontm' nt direct or through 'their family physician.

The paralysis of and interference with telegraphic service in America and Eu rope Saturday for a period of several j hours w not without precedent. That kind of phenomenon Is of comparatively infrequent occut'ence, but has been ob served many times before. Tt is attrib- ■ uted by experts to a disturbance of the earth’s magnetism, and occasionally there • have b< i n manifestations in the southern hemisphere at the same time as in the northern. I/ko certain auroral displays in low latitudes, these outbreaks appear to be associated In some mysterious way with the appearance of spots on the sun. I Hence there was a little reason for ex i peeling that latest one. An area of solar surface of considerable extent was seen I to be marked with spots early in Octo- ■ her. By the rotation of the sun this re i gion di.-'.ipp-ared a fortnight ago. but is ’ now coming Into view again. The exact situation there cannot be discerned by astronomer,; until the axial movement has continued for a day >r two more, but it is not unlikely that the loca'ity is still to seine of ptreepllble activity. Just what is the mechanism by which the ob served effect is produced js yet uncertain. I'crhaps It would be more intelligible if tin- source >f the earth's magnetism it self had been determined beyond dis pute. The coincidence between magnetic ■ disturbances and sun spots Is more eon- Spicious, apparently, than that between other terrestrial phenomena, such as at mospheric convulsions and solar out breaks.

Sirup is defined as the product obtained by purifying and evaporating the juice or tiie sugar producing plant without re moving any of the sugar. Refinery sirup as ordinarily made are classed by these standards under the name of mo lasses, which dffferes from sirup by tne removal of sugar during manufacture. Standard molasses contains not over 23 per -ent of water and not over 5 per cent of ash. Standard sirup contains not over 30 per cent of water, nor 2‘ ? per cent of rush. A limit is placed on the quantities of water and ash used :n the glucose prod ucts and this definition is made: "Glucose sirup or corn sirup is glucose unmixed or mixed with s up or mo lasses.” Standard glucose sirup contains a max imum of 25 per cent of water and 3 of ash. Candy is given the same definition as in state food laws. Tn the spices pepper is defined as to in clude from the standard product pepper hulls, pepper dust or other pepper by products. The ash standard of black pep per is made a maximum of 7 per cent, and for white pepper a minimum of 4 per cent, of which not over Ji per cent shall be sand. Macassar and Bombay maces are not considered as standard mace. Standard mustard is given a maximum of. 2',i per cent of starch derived from mus ldr t The Cocoa Schedule. In the cocoa schedule standard choco late is defined as the product made by grinding kernels of the cocoa bean with out removing the fat er adding oth r substances, the fat standard being a min imum of 45 per cent. The amount or sugar in sweet chocolate is not limit' il bv the standards. Cocoa is prescribed as the kernel deprived ot ] art ot its lot , nulverized. Th. standard sweet cocoa Ims a maximum limit of 60 per cent ot su .’ar but no minimum limit of fat is hxeu , for’either cocoa or sweet cocoa. tJxoco- | late coatings are treated as svveet clm.o late. The committee which fixed these , standards will meet again soon, and will eo-.-ider whisky and a number ol other schedules and will consult the tiades Interested before taking final action on the remaining The Grippe Germs Hunting Ground. (From The Philadelphia Rcc " rd ;.\ n „_ •■Pneumonia blouses and lace stockings are the happy hunting grounds of the grip germs.” remarked the pnvsician as u girl passed holding her dress just big i enough to display a bit of openwork stocking. ’’Just now, of course, It may not be particularly dangerous; but ever so many maidens will dress the same when cold winds whistle. Indeed, last winter you could see the same Hung when the snow flew. Fancy the feelings of a girl tv ho had no hosiery, yet from the health standpoint she'd be very little worse off. As for the pneumonia blouses, they're in the same class. The more cobwebs in the shape of lace that are set into them the more successful they are supposed to be, and shouldeis must show through these laces. It seems such a foolish bld for attention. I suppose, however, that the average man does like to think women utterly different from men in tlielr requirement:’, indeed. I've heard them talk about it and wonder how their sisters could possibly he com- , sortable in next to no clothes at all when ’ they required all-wool underwear. Os i course, It wouldn’t occur to the victims of this particular sort of vanity to save time, health and money by dressing suit ably. There’s no reason, though, why 1 personally should object.” While one-room tenements In London have decreased from 172.502 to 1+9.534, or 14 per cent, three-room and four room tenements have increased 16 per cent, 18 per cent and 21 per cent, re spectively. CURIOUS LORE. Natural History Contained in a Very Rare Book. (From The London Express.) Tt is interesting to know that among some country folk the curious idea still prevails that with the master die the bees. Somebody tells me that instances of this have been noticed of late. At a sale of the humble effects of a villager lately dead two or three hives of bees in old straw keeps were to be disposed of, but when they came to be examined it was found that all the bees were dead. A coincidence of this kind will probably keen alive the superstition in that vil lage for generations to come. Some curious specimens of folk lore and natural history are contained in a rare book, called "The Sportsman’s Diction ary,” to which C. M. Woolsey has drawn my attention. Tills was published one hundred and sixty years ago. The au thor was evidently a Philistine among Philistines in his attitude toward nature. Os the master musician, the blackbird, he says: "This bird is known by all persons, and is better to be eaten than kept, being much sweeter to the palate when dead and well roasted than to the ear while living. Sings about times months in the year, or four at most, though his song is worth nothing; but if he be taught to whistle he is of some value, it being very loud, though coarse.” What an ear and mind.' And here Is a story of the squirrel with the ring in it ot the seventeenth ev..n more than the eighteenth century, it r minds one of tiie harts of Izaak Walton, that changed their sexes once a year. "If what is reported of them be true, the admirable cunning of the squirrel ap pears in her (where we commonly u-> 'lds' when the sex need not be specifi'A Ot:r ancestors often used 'her') swimming or passing over a river, tor when she 's constrained by hunger «o to do she s ■ l< out some rind or small bark ot a tree, which she sets upon the wat-r, and then goes into it, and, holding up her tr.il like a. sail, lets the wind drive her to the other side, and carries meat in her mouth to prevent being famished by the length of the voyage.” Os the wild boar we have this: “And wli.it place so ever he biles, whether ne: or dog. the heat of his teeth causes an inflammation in tiie wound. If. therefore, he does but Couch the hair of a dog lie burns off; nay. huntsmen have tried ihc heat of his teeth by laying hairs on them as soon as he was dead, anj they have shriveled up as if touched with a hot iron.'' of ffe | A beautiful and lovable young girl just budding Into KP ( A voluptuous womanb.ood, or a handsome iinu X.
