Washington, D.C., Aug. 15. -Senor Palma, the head of the Cuban junta, bas sent the following cable by way of ,Santiago: Bartolomeo Masse, President Cuban Republic, Santiago, Cuba: I have this thirteenth day of August, 1898, accepted in the name of the Cuban Provisional ,Governnaent the armistice proclanned by the United States. You should give im- mediate orders to the army throughout Cuba, suspending all hostilities.

WashinSton, D.C., Aug. 15. -The War Department will ask Congress to increase the standing army even beyond its present war basis. The department las decided that the 65,000 men now in service will not be sufficient for the 'needs of the Government. The whole volunteer army will dis- appear as soon as the President issues his tinal peace proclamation. It is the under- standing that 100,000 men will be needed at home, in Cuba, in Porto Rico and in the Philippines. The proclamation of peace will disband all the volunteers and necessitate new •'enlistments. The News at Hong Kong.

"Now Naaman, captain of the host a the king of Syria, was a great mau with his master and houorable." The verse goes on to tell why, but oloses with the sad statement that he was a leper.

"Brought away captive out of tbe land of Israel a little maid, and she wait- ed an Neamare's wife." Thus did the Syrians with God's permission, but what about the little maid's tether and mother, and what about her awn poor little heart?

It makes us think of tbe Mine when all kings shall fall down before Him wbom Eiisha served, when every high thing shall be brought down and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day (Ps. lxxii, 11; Isa. 11, 11). 10. "Go and wash in jordan seven *Imes, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean." Thus said the messenger whom Elisha sent to the door, for Ellen: thought it not necessary to go himself. He stood like Elijah before God and considered no greatness that was not of God. 11. "But Naaman was wroth and went away and said, Behold, I thought be will surely oome out to me." Newnan had it all planned in bis own mind just how it ought to be done, for was not be a great and honorable man and did be not deserve kiln honored before his soldiers and by this Israelite? Was he not prepared to pay well for all he got and was this any kind of a way to treat such as he? His pride would not stand it, and he Went away in a rage. 12. "Are not Abana and Pharpar, riv- er. of Damascus, better than all the wa- terii of Israel?" Tbe water might be as good or possibly better for some purposes, but they were not God's way for his cleansing. Cain's fruits were probably much more attractive than Abel's bloody lamb, but they were Rot God's way. Good Works and a good moral character are very beautiful and all right in their place, but they are not God's way of cleansing the leprosy,of sin, and therefore of no avail. 13. "How much rather then when he saith to thee, Wash and be clean?" His servants, wiser than he, thus reasoned with him that he would gladly do some great thing, and why not this simple thing? There are many who would give much money and do many so called good Works if thus they could bs saved, but simply to receive Christ and depend whol- ly upon Him aml tu have all their right- eousness cont fur nothing is too humili- ating for some people, and they will not submit (Rona x, 8), 14. "Then went he down and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God, and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little obild, titid he was clean." He cer- tainly was not worthy, but he was obedi- ent, and he was °leaned. There is mo oth- er way but God's wey (Acts iv, 12), and all, without exreption, who accept the way (John ale 6) are made clean (John :Hi 10; Rev. i 5 e• I Con vi, 11; Ise. 1, CUDAN OUTPOST ON SCOUT DUTY. six or eight months. He would have been there now but for the cowardice of a broth- er Cuban who betrayed the volunteer in order to save his own life. As it was, the informer, whom we will call Miguel, al- though that is net his name, received warning in time and escaped to our army, whore be now holds an important place. "Miguel at first sent his information to us by means of a trusted servant, who took the dispatches at night to a point outside the city limits, where his messages were concealed in a box underneath a flat rock until a member of our army could get them. The Spaniards became aware after a time that important information was being furnished to the insurgents by some one in authority in the Spanish ranks and began an investigation. Miguel was &insulted among others as to whether it could possibly be any one conneoted with the volunteer army. "The fact that the suspicions of the Spaniards had been aroused caused Miguel to look about for safer means of commu- nicating with our forces. He finally en- listed the services of a daughter of a prod- uoe inerthant who had a stall in the mar- ket at Havana. "The old merchant was a pacific°, and it was therefore not at all difficult for a young Cuban, also supposed to be a paci- fic°, to gain access to his house in the country. To make love to the old man's daughter was a harder task, but it was finally aocomplished, and the agreed to reettive letters for him from a friend in Havana, which were to be sent to her for oonvenienee sake through her brother, who drove the supply wagon which made fre- quent trips between the merchant's place of business and his house in the country. "Miguel bought his supplies of this same merchant, and the scheme worked euecessfully for a long time or up to the time the volunteer was forced to flee from Havana. "Ail officer in Blanco's bodyguard was informed by some one of the means that Miguel had taken to send his information, and the boy who drove the mule team was intercepted on his way from the city by Spanish soldiers. By a fortunate chance Miguel had not sent any word to the Cu- bans that day, but under the fear of the punishment threatened by the Spaniards the boy confessed that he had been in the habit of receiving letters from some one in Havana. The boy himself did not know from whom they came, as Miguel sent them by the sarno trusted servant whom he had employed OD former occasions, and he represented himself to be merely a poor pacific°, who took this means of conneu- nicating With his friend in the country. "Miguel learned that the boy had been hateroeptod, and knowing that all would be discovered as soon as the Spaniards intele an investigation, mcninted his horse, and after taking all the equipment he could pack on his horse rode out into the brush and joined onr forces."

A. cutting 88 feet deep and 14 feet wide was made in the rook at the top of the bank, In which the pipe line will be placed.* This cut, together with a vievr of the power house, is shown. The distance from the top. of tbe mountain to the bass Of the poiVer bouie ligt1.0 feet, the vertical height being 275 feet, as already noted. This gives a head nearly double that of Niagara Falls, and it pressure of 185 pounds to the square inoh. 4 The foundation for the pipe line is made of stone, with a pier and drain every 12 feet. At the top of the line the pipe is three -eights of an inch in thick- ness, gradually increasing to 1 inch. It Is a circular steel tube, the first section being 9 feet in diameter, and then it diminishes to 8 feet 6 inehea 8 feet, and finally 7 feet 6 inches.
