TROCHA COST MANY LIVES,

Over 1900 Soldiers Died of Fever Con-
tracted There. E@ - ..
A decided change has been made in
the plan of military operations in Pinar
del Rio province. II =,
The western trocha has not been
abandoned yet, but the force along
that military line has been greatly re-
dnced already. Three brigades of in
fantry have gone into the mountain
Gus country on the north coast, the
only part where the insurgents find
anything like security.
4 The trocha, says a Havana dispatch,
was a costly mistake in many respects;
in others it served its purpose. The
work was too expensiyely built. Al
4 .tLl though intended for a temporary pur-
pose, the blockhouses in many in
stances were Of brick and finished as if
for permanent use. Even the mortar
at the joints was nicely fooled. The
same disposition to erect massive and
perman ent works that distinguished tha
iSpaniards in the days of the coloniza
t1on OF America exists to-day. Ths
trocfaI caused Maceo a great deal e
an aln1aoyaree. q It staid the passage
large bodies of men east and west. OnlS
small groups succeeded in crossing.
The intenance of the trocha ha5
cost dearly in human life. The count
through which it runs. is malarion
natural ], and the. thro owing up of earth
works left pits which filled with stag
.aant water in the rainy season. More
than 2, 900 soldiers have died from dis
ease contracted OF there. Even now many
are sick. mostly with chills and fever.
Yellow fever and dysentery have been
epidemic,

New sAristocraoy OF, Help hich Lives
~ Apart In Big Hostalries.f
With the advent Of the big new. sho.,
tells uptown there has arisen a new.
aristocraey, which is about as amusing
as most American an stocraeies are. 1T
is the artist tocraey, Of help. It wears its
masters and mistresses' clothing, eats
in dining groom by itself and, trying
to ape the manners of it's employees,
gives an eNhi hibition to amuse gods and
men. .zs Ef
Passing the dining groom inhabited by
these naughty ones recently a reporter
heard a, snatch of the conversation in
dulged in by the knights and ladies Of
the boudoir, these gentlemen's and la
dies ladies:
Kindly pawse the buttah.''

"a little of the butter, if you please .
s.Why, certongly. It's a little passee,
that BUTTER :.
Indeed. Do you think so? Thought
there was something off color in the
taste, don't you know =
Anything going, on in town, Tom ?"
''Not a dem thing, me boy, not dem

''Your mawster goin' abroad this
year,"
Mech, you mean Allie. Yes,
dessay. He usually goes-to get his
closet, you know. Deucid good dresser,
Allie-an' just me own size, too-but
don't know much. All! if I had his

''Well, I'd try and not disgrace me

"I heah the suvvants are kicking up
a devil of a row over their grub. Poor
creatures! I'd rather die right off thar,
be a hotel suvvaut. However, they're
mostly Irish-them as isn't Germans
so it don't make much Offence what
you feed 'em. Anything with potatoes,

And so, with light converse and bright
raillery, the aristocracy of help bright

Some Odd Tales Told by an Old Florida
Hotel Register.

Some Odd Tales Told by an Old Florida
Hotel Register.
At the end of a chapter on alligators,
in his book Hunting and Fishing in
Florida Mr.. Charles B. Cory, curator
of the department of ornithology in the
Field Coluln bian museum, Chicago,
gives an entry which he once saw in
the register of the Brock house.
In the old days, when transportat
was more difficult than it is at present,
the Brock house was about the end of
civilization, and was "a hours trip
by boat from Jacksonville. 1t was at
that time great resort for sportsmen,
who were attracted there by the fish
ing and shooting to be had in the vi
cinity.
The old register, which extended
back great many years, contained
some queer records, many of them of
doubtful veracity. Among others,
some one had written:
March 10, 1872, killed a large alli-
gator, the largest seen here this year:
the stomach contained boot, piece
of pine wood, a fsherman's float, and
some small fish, >-
Immediately beneath this record was
another, evidently added by some wag:
March "a, killed a much bigger alli-
gator than the one mentioned above,
The stomach contained a gold watch,
$4,000 ia government bonds, and a
cord of wood.'' .-s.
On the next page, written in neat,
unobtrusive style, was inscribed the
following: "shot the biggest alligator
ever known in Florida; the stomach
contained the remains of a steam
launch, lot Of old railway iron, and a
quantity of melted ice, proving that it
existed during the glacial epoch.'
