LIFE-SAVING SERVICE.
Annual Report of the General Superin-
teudeut.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE an
nual report Of the General Superin-
tendent of the Life Saving Stations
shows that during the last fiscal year
the number OF disasters within the
scope of the service exceeds that of any
previous year by 70 This large excess
is in a measure found to be due to the
extension of the service, but principally
tc the conditions of weather which ere-
vailed during the year.
The number of disasters to docu-
| mented vessels within the field of the
operations of the service during the
! year was 1873 There were on board
! these vessels 5402 persons, of whom
/ . .3S2 were saved and 20 lost. The esti-
mated value of the vessels involved was
! IS SO01, ,21J and that of their cargoes
/ S2645, $50 making the total value of
property imperiled S10,647 80. OF this
amount 80 14J,0S5 was saved and ST.
| 3021 lost The number of vessels
! totally lost was l3.
Besides the number of persons saved
from vessels of all kinds, there were 10
others rescued who had fallen from
wharves, piers, etc, the most of whom
would have perished without the aid
/ OF the life-saving crews.
The crews saved and assisted to save

with their cargoes, at $3,3G1 go, and
rendered assistance of minor import
ance to 1Sl other vessels, besides warn

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Third Annual keport of Secretary
Morton.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Secretary
Mortons third annual report is a briefer
document than the two which preceded
it. It discusses the work of the several
bureaus of the department, asserting
that expenditures have been reduced in
some of them for the sake of economy
and increased in others for the sake Of
efficiency.
Much of the matter of the report has
been anticipated in publications from
time to time during the fiscal year and
since it's close. The more important
recommendations not heretofore made
public are subjOned
Over 100000 cattle and sheep were
inspected for foreign markets, of which
61o,00O We're shipped abroad Over d.
Q00,0 600 pounds of pork was inspected
microscopically and exported. against
pounds in 1893. OF the amount exported
last year, nearly 23.000 coo pounds went
to Germany and over 5000, 600 pounds
went to France.
Speaking of the export trade in dairy
products of the United States, the re-
port points out the fact that in cheese
the United States, while a large shipper
tc British markets, holds the conspicu-
ously unfattering place in the extreme
only one of the competitors for this
trade whose business shows a serious
falling Off This he attributes to the
deterioration in the quality of American
cheese by adulteration. In butter the
United States is out OF the race, supply
ing less than l per cent. of the British
demand for foreign buffers, notwith-
standing the fact that Great Britain i'm
ported in eight months $4,000, Geo
worth of butter
The work of the Weather Bureau for
one year cost SS134 439, and owing to
the reduced expenditures, which were
accompanied by increased efficiency
S55,000 will ultimately be covered into
the treasury from the amount appro-
priated. 1t is claimed that the warn
ings Of cold waves alone secured from
freezing more than S2,215.000 worth
OF periShable agricultural products
which would otherwise have been lost
The Secretary calls attention to the
report of the Chief of the Division of
Statistics, which reiterates an argu-
ment in favor of taking an annual ag-
ricultural census.

With a Rebuff.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 9. (via
Key West, Fla, Nov. 17)-General
Canellas, Chief of the military division
of Guantanamo, is at present the ter
Tor of that district. as he is arresting
innocent people and casting them into
Jail, and otherwise committing all sorts
of abuses. of course this conduct is
increasing the ranks of the insurgents,
as every day great numbers have gone
to the field to escape the fury of Ca
nellas, until now there is scarcely a
Cuban in Guantanamo. All the promi-
nent gentlemen arrested a few days
ago in Guantanamo and brought to the
MORO castle of this city have been
sent to the penal city of Ceuta, in
Africa.
On account of the arrest few days
ago of an English subject, Mr.. Gowry
manager of the Guantanamo railway
foundry, the English Consul in this
city commissioned Robert Mason, an
employe of the house of Brooks & Co,
70 go to Guantanamo and interview
General Cancellas in regard to GoWry s
arrest. When Mason visited the Gen
eraI the latter was at breakfast, and
as soon as Mason entered the room the
General began to insult him, and also
the Messrs. Brooks accusing them of
helping the revolution with money. Mr..
Mason was obliged to leave Guantana-
IrC without being able to receive any
explanation in regard to the matter
that took him there.
On the 1th inst. several other prom
incnt men of Guantanamo were ar
rested and incarcerated, and they will
probably be sent to C6SIta..
on the Sth Bartolome Misas, a Span
lard, who is well liked in Guantanamo
and who represented the hardware
house of Brauet & Co, was summoned
by General Canellas, insulted, kicked
and slapped in theface, and then cast
into prison, where he still is. 1t is said
that General Canellas drinks very
hard.
On the 7th inst. eight of the nine sol
diers who garrisoned the village of Dos
Caminos went over to the rebels, with
arms and ammunition The ninth sol
dier. who at the last moment refused to
go with them, was killed.
In Baracoa the rebels have destroyed
all the machinery and apparatus used

Looks as Though the Republican Con
Yention VIII Meet There.


CHICAGO, Nov. ia morning pa
per says: Joseph H. Manley, eX-Chair-
man of the Republican National Com
mittee, and at present manager of the
Thomas Bracket Reed Presidential
boom, has written to Chicago to engage
| thirty rooms for the Reed headquar-
ters' at the Republican National Con-
ventiOn. If this letter of eX-Chairman
Manley's means anything at all-and
! the writer is man who knows what is
going OMIT means that Chicago is
! practically certain to get the next Re
| publican National Convention.
The letter containing this important
| Information is now in the hands of
William Odell, an attorney, and a
warm personal friend of eX-Chairman
Manley. The letter was written to Mr.
Odell by Mr.. Manley from New Orleans
a week ago. Mr.. Odell, while using
every effort to keep secret the contents
of a purely personal letter, admitted it's
contents, and deeply deplored the fact
that the Manley-Reed plans are so soon
reached by the public Mr. Odell left at
noon to-day for Philadelphia, where he
will tomorrow night meet Mr.. Manley.
EX-ChairTnan Manley, who has writ
/ ten the request for rooms for Reed
| headquarters, has for some time been
| making a tour of the western and
southern country. He passed through
/ Chicago a month or six weeks ago, and
while here conferred with several of the
Illinois leaders known to feel kindly
! toward the candidacy of Reed. 1t is be-
lieved the question of bringing the Ma
tiOnal Convention to Chicago was, next
/ to the discussion OF Reeds chances for
! The nomination, one of the most i'm
portant questions brought forward
| Since that time Mr. Manley has Wis
! ited Colorado, Kansas, New Me2 ico,
! Utah and California. In each of the Sc
! States, particularly in California, he
spent considerable time. After swing
! ing around the Western circle, Mr.
Manley jumped over into the South
/ 1t was about this time that the Tanner
! Platt-Quay conference was held in the
East, and within a very few days the
letter to Chicago for a reservation of
| hotel accommodations was written.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11-In an inter
view tonight Joseph H. Manley said
he was favorable to San Francisco as
| the place for holding the next Repub-
| lican National Convention. He had
nothing TO say regarding the Chicago
story that he had asked for rooms for

REV. s. F. SMITH DEAD.
The Composer of America suddenly
Expires at Boston.

ROSTON (Mass), Nov. 11.-Rev S. T.
Smith, DID, whose name has become
famous over the whole world as the
composer of the National hymn
America" dropped dead yesterday
afternoon at 4 40 o'clock. His death was
so sudden that at first the news was dis
credited, and during the evening tele-
grams poured in from all over the coun-
tr.- as to the truth of the rumor.
Dr. Smith had been stopping in this
city with relatives during the past
month, his time being taken up in the
number of calls which he received to ad-
dress meetings all over the East. He
has been in the best of health and
spirits, and but short time before his
death stated to a friend that he had
never felt better in his life.
He had accepted an engagement to
make an address at q patriotic meeting
which was to be held at Hyde Park in
the evening. and at the time he was
stricken was on his way to the hall
with a friend They had entered the
New York and New England Railroad
station, and, having some little time to
wait for the train, they remained in the
general Waiting-roOm. Suddenly the
gentleman who was with DR.. Smith, and
who had his attention attracted, heard
a slight sigh and then a groan, and,
turning, perceived that DR.. Smith, who
had raised himself, was on the point of
falling. Those near by rushed to save
him from falling, when he dropped into
their arms unconscious.
A call was at once sent to the Emer-
gency Hospital, but before the physician
arrived DR.. Smith had expired. An
examination at the hospital showed
that death had been due to heart fail
ure, brought on by over-eXertion.
