TRADE WITH MALAYS,
UNITED STATES ALREADY COM
MANDs A GOOD SHARE.
By Closely Studying the Needs of the People
Our Manufacturers Have Chance to
Greatly Increase Their Exports.

New York. Oct. 2G.-The Herald this
morning says: Mr.. Spencer Pratt,
consul general of the United States
at Singapore, who is at present on a
leave of absence in this city said in
an interview last night that the geo
graphical position of Singapore gives
Malay and thus virtual control of the
trade of the Indian archipelago and
that of Europe with the China sea.
Hence. says Mr.. Pratt, she must at
some future day play an important
role in the struggle for supremacy in
the far east. AS a coaling station,
Singapore is one of the most impor-
tant in the far east. As a shipping
port it is of great commercial impOr-
lance. In 1894 the number of YES
sells entered, was 1880, with a tonnage
of 3,64S,501; cleared 1883, tonnage
3.647,613.
The trade with the United States is
large, some of the principal imports
in 1895 being: Muskets, rifles and car
tridges 1920; wheat flour 81, 2SS,S42;
preserved fruits S13.202; gas and cleo
trio lighting material $1,000; hardware
and cutlery $3.50; oil $1S,63S; oil pe-
troleum) $3O,170; lubricating oil $34,-
266; tools S4,460; with other imports
making a total of $1,76S,775 (Mexican)
money.
Mr. Pratt suggests that our shippers
learn first what the actual require
ments of the people in the Malayan
region are and then arrange them for
manufacture here to produce what
will meet these requirements on equal
terms with the manufacturers in. Eu-
rope.
In this as far as my official duty
will permit" says Mr.. Pratt, 81 shall
be glad to assist in the introduction of
American machinery which, on ac-
count of the important development of
the mining interests of this Malayan

WATSON HAS QUIT.

Will Not Support Bryan And VIII
Work No More In The Campaign.
Chicago, Oct. 26.-An Atlanta spec
ial to the Times-Herald says: Tom
Watson has announced his definite
course with regard to the national
campaign which is, that from now IN
til the date of the election he will do
nothing whatever. All efforts of the
Democratic managers to get him to
support Bryan and the election of sill
yer candidates without reference to
the vice president have been without
avail. He will do nothing, but go to
his home in Thomson and proposes to
stay there until the election. The fu-
sion between Democrats and Populists
in various congressional districts
seems to. be rapidly progressing.

HER CARGO BURNING.

New York, Oct. 26.-The British
steamer Worsley Hall, Capt. Cameron,
put in port this morning with her
cargo on fire. She was bound from
New Orleans for Havre and left the
former port October 10th. On the
morning of October % when the stea-
mer was $50 miles east-by-south of
Sandy Hook, during a strong south
erly gale smoke was found issuing
from the ventilator and under the
bridge and an examination showed
that cotton stored in the forward hold
and which constituted n portion of the
cargo, was on fire. Means were at
once taken to eXtinguish the fire and
her head was pointed to New York
When the Worsley Hall arrived at
quarantine all hands were worn out
with work and anxiety. 1t may be
necessary to scuttle the ship to put
out the fire. At the present time the
steamer is anchored off Cliftons, Stat
en- Island.

T. B. JOHNSON.

There is no man in San Antonio
who is better known by the reading
public than Mr.. II. B. Johnson, whose
announcement for county collector Is
given in this issue. Mr.. Johnson is
the true type of physical manhood.
Intellectually, he is far above many
of the great men who are pointed to
with pride by the critical public. He
is truly and eminently practical bus
mess man, 1t takes systematic push,
ability and honesty to develop bust
ness from nothing to a brilliant sue
cess. This Mr.. Johnson has done.
What was the San Antonio Light
when Mr.. Johnson took hold of it?
From sheet hardly larger than your
two hands, it has developed into
siX-column quarto, produced from one
OF the best printing establishments in
the state, doing her composition with
linotypes. Mr.. Johnson is, firm, perse-
vereing and swayed by his convic-
tons, yet such a gentleman that the
humblest man can approach him and
feel that he is at home in his pres
ence. He is generous, of big kind
heart and popular with the masses.
His friends among the colored people
are of a class that any man would
feel proud of. They know him well
and favorably. That he will poll a
large vote for county collector on No
vember 3rd is admitted by all.
Thanks, Brer. Harbert; scratch In
dian Jose, and vote for VIM. Boerner.

1T WAS EASY.
M AOEO CROSSES THE TROCHA AND
DESTROYS A TOWN.
Terribly Deadly Work of the Dynamite
Gun Shown During the Action-MaCeo
Joins the Main Forces.

New York, Oct ga dispatch to
the Herald from Key West, Fla, says:
Well informed passengers who arriv-
ed from Havana last night confirm
advices received by mail that Maceo
has crossed the trocha at Artemesia
and Joined the other insurgent forces
in Havana province. They declare
that the report circulated by Maceo
of his encampment at Cacarajicara
and a contemplated attack on that
town was merely a bluff to concen-
trate the Spanish troops at that point.
That the ruse was successful was
proved by the fact that Gen. GOnZa-
les MunOz with large forces was sent
in that direction to attack MaceO, but
upon their arrival at Cacarajicara the
Spaniards found nothing but a desert
ed camp. MaceO's followers under
forced marches then made a detour to
the southwark and suddenly appeared
at Artemesia the central point on the
line of the trocha. Giving his men
temporary rest the insurgent chief
sent word to the cOmmandant of the
garrison that he intended to lombard
the town, giving the inhabitants five
hours in which to leave the city. Not
needing MaceO's threats the Spaniards
would permit no one to leave. The
result is known from the reports
which have already been cabled from
Havana. Maceo opened fire on the
town with his artillery and thirty
shots from the rebel dynamite gun
were thrown into the city. Every
building is said to have been levelled
and the slaughter of non-combatants
was appalling. During the carnage
Maceo and his followers crossed the
line of the trOcha into Havana pro-
vince where they joined the forces of
Gen. Aguirre.

TO SURPASS STANFORD.
Widow OF Senator Hearst VIII En-
dow A New Institution For
California

Chicago, Oct. ga special to the
Tribune from San Francisco says:
The university of California is to
be made richer by 100000 by dona-
tons from various persons, chief
among whom is Mrs. Phoebe Hearst,
widow of the millionaire senator from
California. This amount is not to be
given all at one time but will be paid
as soon as the state is prepared to
make proper use of the money. The
state must spend 100000 on buildings
and when this is done the gifts will
be paid.
'TheSe facts became known at the
meeting of the board Of regents of the
university when Mrs. Hearst sent a
note to the board donating $4,000 to
be used in securing plans for new
buildings. The architects of all
countries are to be invited to compete
and submit plans for a group of build
ings of a similar design which will
surpass anything of the kind in the
world.
Mrs. Hearst stated that she would
erect two buildings at her own eX-
pense, one of which would be mem
orial to her late husband.
1.-The names of others who will give
funds are not given. A desire to sur
pass Stanford's university seems to
be the main cause of the movement"

COMPLIMENTS THE CANDI-
DATES.
From the Alamo Advance.
III, O, SKINNER.

The gentleman whose name appears
at the head of this article and whose
announcement is found in this issue,
is a well known business man of our
city. His real estate interests make it
assured that he has the general good
of the county at heart. In coming be-
fore the public for the Office of treas
urer, he does so at the earnest solicit
tation of some of the most prominent
citizens in the county. He is honest,
courteous and competent and is uni
versally popular with all classes of
citizens. Close attention to his pri-
vate interests as well as those he
has managed successfully for the pub
lie has developed in all who know
him, the confidence which makes
them desire his services in the treas
urer's Office. His accounts would all
the time be justly accurate and the
account of his stewardship would be
received with the plaudits of the en-
tire community. To all those excel
lent virtues inhering in him, Mr.. Skin
ner is sound Republican, not faint
ed with a grain of lily whiteism or
any other kind of ism, other than the
genuine article. He has not hesitat-
ed to be known other than a simon
pure Republican. His friends among
the colOred people are of the best and
truest men we have. They who know
him best, are loud in his praises and
affirm that he is a gentleman, who
treats every man righteOusly. Such
a man as Mr.. Skinner in the treasur-
er's office would fill that Office with a
man who in every sense is worthy of
such a trust.

Rockport, Texas, Oct. 25.-Aransas
county for the first time in its history
will be placed in the Republican col
umn this election. This is what cOun-
ty Chairman n. B. Sweitzer reports
to state headquarters. The Populists
and the Popocrats Of the county have
agreed TO disagree and it is all on ac-
count of a too intimate association in
a club miscalled the Bryan club, which
in reality was a Culberson club.
Messrs. w. III. Postan and f. J. We'll
der, two well known San Antonio

posite, at the same time, they come
to grief in six feet of water. The
former gentlemen have a new boat

Hon. Rudolph Klegerg, cOngression-
al nominee, spoke here to a small audi
ence of rather Indifferent partisans.
He prefaced his attack on honest
money and the stock raising industry
by thorough explanation of his aero
batic performance consequent to the
Chicago convention. This was thor
oughly satisfactory to himself. A
great many of his audience had heard
him only a few short months ago ex-
planning the virtues and advantages
of an honest and staple dollar and
look of perplexity and amusement
was Depicted on many countenances
as he assured them he was right this
time. Judge Grass is expected here
in a few days to refute some of Mr..
KIebergs statements.
