San Salvador is built on a volcano. IL
has been three times destroyed by an
earthquake, but the people are becoming
accustomed to such occurrences. Earth
quakes are pretty frequent, and while
one is naturally very nervous there is
really little danger to life. The shocks
have been known TO come as frequently
as 80 times in an hour.

Snow stiIl Fails.

New YORK, Dec. 16.-The snow storm
which began yesterday afternoon still
continues. At 9 O'Clock Sandy Hook re-
ported the wind blowing from north
northeast 40 miles an hour and very
thick off shore. The telephone line con-
Meeting Sandy Hook with the life saving
stations off the Jersey coast is down,
preventing reports from the life-savers.
Telegraphic reports from Long Branch
and Ausbury Park say nothing has been
abandoned yesterday after the rescue of
her crew by the steamer Yorktown.
The thick atmosphere caused by the
snow storm interferes materially with
river and harbor navigation. Only two
steamers reached quarantine this morn
ing, the Starlight, from Swansea, and
the Asloun, from China ports. No ves-
sells have left port this morning.

DENVER, Dec. 16.-A News special
from Key West, says:
Advices from Havana tonight by the
steamer Olivette state that the alleged
death of Maceo is still shrouded in mys-
terry, and majority of the Cubans re-
fuse to believe that the great chief is
dead. The body has not been discov-
cred, and contradictory statements made
by the Spaniards lead the Cubans to be-
lieve Maceo is still alive. Even the
people who live at Punta Brava, where
Maceo is said to have been killed, do not
credit the story. DR.. Zertucha continues
to make conflicting statements. He
says now that the knife which the
Spaniards have belonged to young
Gomez, and not to Maceo. They say
this proves either that Maceo is still
alive or that if he is dead, his death will
not injure the rebellion.
There is a multiplicity of theories cur
rent in regard to Maceo. One report in
Havana is that the Spanish officer at
Cabezas, province of Matanzas. has in
formed the Havana authorities that
Maceo passed that place recently with
large force. Then. too, it is claimed that
letter has been received in Havana
from Aguirre, the insurgent leader,
dated December IL in which no men
ton is made of Maceo's death.
Weyler is now in quarrel with the
marine authorities because of the charge
that Maceo passed the trocha in boat.
The marine authorities deny the story
positively; and have cabled the facts to
Spain. All these contradictory state
ments render it difficult to believe that
Maceo is really dead.

Activity at st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 16.-In the house at
POP Elm street, in this city, a company
is being organized to go to Cuba and join
forces with the insurgents. Edward
Hastings is the head of the scheme, and
is eagear to join forces with other Cuban
sympathizers who are IN the city. He
has the names of 20 men who have
joined his company, and thinks he will
have 100 men before the end of the
week.
Hastings visited the city hall to learn
if the authorities would interfere with
him. He was told the blind could not
see, and if he organized quietly and did
not make it too public no one would
either see or hear the movement.

Amendment Introduced by Mitchell in

Amendment Introduced by Mitchell in
the Senate Today.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Mitch
ell, of Oregon, today introduced bill to
amend section It's of the Revised
Statutes.
That section, as passed in 1865, pro-
vided that persons honarably discharged
from the military or naval service by
reason of disability resulting from
wounds or sickness incurred in the line
of duty shall be preferred for appoint
ment to civil offices, provided they are
found to possess the business capacity
necessary for proper discharge of the
duties.
The amendment gives the preference
to all honorably discharged persons from
the military or naval service without
| regard to reason for such discharge,
provided they have served ninety days
or more in the war of the rebellion or
any Indian war.
Mitchell supported the bill with a
brief speech on his motion. 1t was re-
ferred to the committee on civil service
and retrenchment.

hat came most conveniently. Now, when
teachers realize that they can ret ain their
positions only while they do good work,
there is strong incentive for better work
than they have ever done. Under the oil d
law it was generally the case that one
teacher taught one term and another the
next Teachers were seldom employed by
the year in our country towns. Any
one who has had experience in teaching,
or who has been connected with the
schools as Supervisor or Superintendent,
knows that it is not possible for a teacher
to do the best work in the school until
after she has become thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the dispositions and needs of her
pupils.
AS the employment of teachers now de-
ponds upon one man, whose connection
with the schools enables him to Judge of
the work done, it may reasonably be ex-
pected that some good will accrue from a
less frequent change of teachers.
In an article published in The Journal
before this law was enacted | stated that
its one great advantage would be found in
the fact that it would give equal school
privileges to all scholars in any given
town. This is sufficient reason for retain
ing the law, even if it had no other recon-
mendation
Should those who are opposed to the
law, and who are now clamoring for its
repeal, use their influence to make it
success they would have no cause for
fault finding. Two years is not time
enough to enable the people to fully real
ize its advantages; time will justify the
wisdom of those who secured its passage,
