LOST IN THE GREAT GALE.
Belief that the Steamer SANTANA Has
Gone Down With All Hands.

Belief that the Steamer Sauana Has
Gone Down With All Hands.
NBw York, Dec. 2S.-Speculation was
rife on the floor of the Maritime Ex-
change this morning over the possible
fate of the steamship SANTANA which
left here for Haytien and San Domingo
ports on November %, last. Nothing
has been heard of the vessel since the
day she left New York. The SANTANA s
departure was signaled by heated con-
troversy between the at that time
Haytien Consul E. D. Bassett and the
custom house officials. Mr.. Bassett
claimed that the vessel carried arms
and ammunition for the insurgents and
made strenuous efforts to have the
vessel delayed until her cargo could be
inspected On November Is the East
ern coast of the United States, the direct
route of the SANTANA, was visited by one
of the most severe storms ever expert
enced by seafaring men. 1t is nearly
forty days since the SANTANA has been
reported. F. C. Elliott, her agent
in this city, said to-day he
had but one hope Of ever again
hearing from the SANTANA. The
steamer Prince Marits, which is hour
ly expected from Haytien ports, Mr..
Elliott said, miaht possibly bring some
intelligence OF his vessel. It is the
opinion of seafaring men in general in
this city, however, that the steamer is
lost. The SANTANA was screw steamer,
schooner rugged, OF 343 tons net register.
She was built at Liverpool in 1885. She
is of iron and is owned in Europe. Her
crew, including the captain, John
James, a member of the Maritime Elk
change, consisted of eighteen men.
Her supercargo, HI. G. Luders, is res
ident of New York and his wife and
children are in Europe

SWINDLED UNCLE SAM.
Queens County, New York, Farmers De
fraud the Government.


fraud the Government.
A Long Island City, N. Y, dispatch Of
the 9th, says: The inspectors of the
Bureau of Animal Industry of the
United States have unearthed novel
scheme on the part of certain persons to
reduce the surplus in the treasury. 1t
has been the custom since the
bureau extended it's operations
to Queens County for all cattle
killed because infected with pleuro-
pneumonia to be appraised and
paid for out of the United States treas.
ury. The appraised value has averaged
$35. The swindle just discovered en-
abled the perpetrators to pocket from
$40 to SIS for large number OF cattle
condemned and slaughtered. The swim
oilers would procure a small farm In the
town of Newton or Jamaica and send
from New York or other places droves
of cattle purchased at from 800 to $40 a
head. The carcasses of some cows,
which had died of pleuro-pneumonia,
would then be obtained and exposed
near the Gait a sufficient length of
time to insure incubation with
the disease. The inspectors visit
ing the farm would find the herd
infected, and appraisement and slaugh-
ter would follow. Although the inspec-
tors have no doubt whatever that the
owners of the cattle have perpetrated a
deliberate swindle, they have been I'M
able to obtain evidence sufficiently con-
elusive to warrant arrests. In order,
however, to prevent any more such
swindling, Inspector W. S. Devoe has
decided to pay for no mere Injected
cattle. It is believed that the treasury
has been defrauded of between 81 900
and 1000 by the dishonest cattle deal
ers during the past year. One man
alone had three herds condemned.

EXAGGERATED.
MUCH REPORTED SICKNESS.

News received from Maconites summer.
ing at Marietta, is to the effect that a good
deal of sickness is prevalent there and
that many of the visitors are leaving for
other places. The sickness reported is
fever, which is said to be of malignant
type.-Macon Telegraph.
We wish to say in reply to this state
ment, that it is not correct, and that on
the contrary the health Of Marietta is
good. There have been only few cases
of any fever, and that of very mild type.
The city of Marietta is as healthy as any
place in the state. a drummer by the
name of Davis, contracted the typhoid
fever in Alabama, came to Atlanta and re-
manned three weeks, and not getting any
better, his physician, DR. Stiles had him
removed to Marietta, but he was delirious
when he came and died. If there is a
single case of fever in Marietta at this
time, we don't know who has it, save n
lady from Florida who has malaria fever
and colored woman on Cherokee street
who has a mild form of fever, and we defy
any place to show better health record
than this, Macon not excepted. AS for
visitors leaving, we know of no stampede,
The hotels and boarding houses are full.
Of course, like all summer resorts, some
stay few weeks and leave, and others
come in and take their places. But there
are visitors who have been here for
months and know what we say is true.
Marietta is health resort, and it is
expected that sick people will come here
from malaria districts to regain theiriheath.
We have no idea the Telegraph wishes
to do Marietta injustice and will correct
the above misrepresentation. Your in
formant has had his fears played upon by
an exaggerated statement by some one who
never put himself to the trouble to get
correct information of Marettas good
health
