The following special from Nelson
Vile tells story that will gladden.
every loyal American heart, and is a
slap in the face to every Democratic
newspaper that persists in its obstinate
howl that times are not improving;
The coal mines have been running
full time eyerp day since the settle
ment of the strike. The men have
gone at the work with will, and are
swiftly recovering from the great de-
preston caused by the strike The
homes that were desolate few weeks
since are now filed with joyous fam
lilies. The idle men who for weeks
filled the streets are no more to be
seen. The different manufacturing es-
Establishments are running full blast,
and some of them are unable to fill the
orders received.

and have hand. But my services are
not wanted. Younger men, and men
without families to put forward impor-
tunate claims in the event of unpleas-
ant contingencies, are to the front.
Thus am shelved.
But all things come to him who waits.
And the other day my opportunity
found me out, all on the jump. Few
people, even in Kingston, have any con-
ception of the frequency of the open
boat maitland other servicc-that is
maintained between the Cuban insur-
gents and the Jamaica junta. Now and
| then an inward boat is caught and its
occupants quarantined; and occasional
| ly one hears n rumor of the police hav-
| ing nearly captured an outward eNpedi-
ton. But that is not all. In point of
fact scores of boat loads of ummuni-
ton. medicines. clothing, and even
arms, have been safely shipped hence
to Cuba; and only on two occasions
have the police effected capture.
OF course, for obvious reasons, I do
not propose here entering into details
of how the oracle is worked, Suffice it
to say that one day recently was noti-
fied--after frequent applications and
many favors done-that if pleased to
take passage from certain outpo-t on
n boat that was shipping cocoanuts to
Boston fruiter at Port Maria. the
chances were even that would either
see Cuba and an insurgent camp-or
fall into the hands of the police.
So, in broad daylight, within sight of
the police station, stepped into huge
punt-like craft, and. before a brisk
breeze, started for Port Maria. The ves-
sci, an ordinary coast drogher, was
heavily laden with cocoanuts. A few
miles down the coast we landed. A
quantity of nuts were cast ashore and
replaced by several packages, and the
native crew exchanged plnces with n
dozen Cubans. Then HE for the open
sea! But not before squad of be-
lated policemen came tearing through |
the bushes. The expedition had been
discovered. but too Late TO stop it-as |
usual. But the cocoanut racket was cX-
ploded, and some other dodge would |
have to be invented. For every one OF
these cocoanuts, except the decoys al

ready thrown away, had been carefully
scooped out and filled with rife car
tridges.
Whilst kept out of sight, the Cubans
returned derisive replies to the calls of
the police to return TO shore. The in
spector snapped a revolver at us. and
the bullet whistled over our head as the
sail was Tapping to catch the breeze.
Instantly dozen rifles covered the as
tonished policemen. and a Cuban yelled
that If another shot was fred they
would blaze away. 1t was q sight to
see how those policemen vanished into
the bush.
The escape proved good augury,
and. without sighting the smoke trail
of any of Spain's vigilant cruisers, early
in the morning of the third day we had
the Cuban shore high ahead of us. !
now found that our destination was at
q point along the Santiago coast, and
that we were carrying 100000 cart

cines and delicacies for Calixto Garcia.
and important mail and later cable dis
patches from New York. What a
scoop for the Dons if they had caught
us! And they very nearly did, too. as
the sequel will show.
1t was late In the afternoon when we

made the shore, through u veritable
labyrinth of coral reefs, and beeehed
the unwieldy punt on u long stretch OF
sandy beach. Instantly all hands COM
menced to tumble the cocoanuts and
packages ashore, whilst the leader or
the party sent up rocket that trailedl
high above the trees that grew densely
to within n few hundred yards of the
sea. BY the time the cargo was landed
some so Cubans were on hand, and,
without ado. a start was made for the
camp in the interior.
But only start. There was stop
page.
A bugle sounded down the beach
around the bend.
"The escort?" asked our leader.
anxiously.
"They are yonder," was the reply, in
a scared voice.
A moment later a party of Spanish
guerrillas, about 20, or even more,
swept into sight.
Run for the bush!" cried the leader,
suiting the action to the word.
This was fine ending of my adven-
ture, l thought, as under q shower of
bullets we dashed into the thicket. But
the end was not yet. ASH instinctively
looked back, from the opposite side of
the beach single horseman, dressed
in the Cuban uniform. and waving a
heavy sword, dashed into the open.
"Al machete!" he cried. Then the
tramp of horses sounded duly on the
sand, and squad Of dozen Cuban
cavalry thundercd after.
Form squared" yelled the Spanish
officer.
"Ah. traitor, it is thou?" shouted the
Cuban. as he rushed past where stood.
A cloud of flying sand now enveloped
the scene. Only the clarter of Spanish
carbnes, the snap-rip-rap of American
repeating rifles and the clash of steel
told how hotly the fight waged. In ten
minutes it was all over. The guerrillas
had no chance before that furious on
sluught, and they could not even run or
double ON the heavy sand.
Only two prisoners were taken. one

curtly told that his life had been pur-

might be hanged.
Three or four of the Cuban troopers
had been killed. and these were hastily

buried under the trees. The Spanish
boy begged that his comrades be also
buried. This was refused, but when
he asked to be permitted to pray for
them, no objection was raised. And it
was touching sight to soc that youth
kneeling on the bloody sand and re-
peating, with tluency, the solemn CATH
olic burial prayers in Latin. On in
query, l found that he was nm ecclc-
siastical student, who, at the call Of
patriotism, had volunteered 10 go TO
Cuba. And that was his first battle.
Leaving the dead to bury their dead,
we started to track" it through the
forest to where the Cuban camp was
situated-in strong position in the
hills to the cast.
All night long we Travelled. pausing
only occasionally for u brief rest, or to
drink at some stream. And most of
the tramp was up hill, too. But dark
as was the night, and thick though the
forests through which the alleged path
lay, the Cuban guide pushed on with
out faltering, the carriers following
and the horsemen bringing up the
rear.
The forenoon was well advanced
when we came to an open space on a
hilltop where, amid some bushes
shaded by clump of palms, we found
some Cubans on the watch for our
coming. This was but an outpost, the
camp occupying a strongly fortified po-
sition across a little ravine further on,
above which steep precipices rose. On
closer inspection l found that the only
practicable way to that hill top was
that by which we had gone. and a hun
dred men could have held it against an
army corps.
Two days after we started back, but
before leaving / witnessed the execu-
ton OF the traitor. He was tried, con-
victed and hanged on a tree. AS we
were leaving, five minutes after, the
captain of the escort suddenly vaulted
from his saddle and sent several hui.

"Ahl That's for lucky trip to lis"
ne cried, eXultantly, as the last shot
cut clear through the cord and let the
half-dead body fall with a sickenipo
thud.
At this there was chorus of wells
and "Vivas!" upon "Vivas." rent the
air The whole camp seemed TO be in
an uproar of delight. OF course, il
was really all the rottenest supersti-
ton; but the Cubans believed it to he
an omen of good luck, and went on
their perilous way rejoicing.
For my part, did not feel so well nj
ease. ] bethought me that there were
more Spaniards left in Santiago to look
after us. Sure enough. however, we
got through without a hitch. and also
sneaked into Jamaica unseen and up-
suspected. TIP. PORTER

Mark to Tell Our Height Above Sea Level.
Frank Smith is home from his three
months trip up the River with the
Government Survey Corps. Frank
says that many of the towns along the
river asked for bench marks indicating
their height above sea level, with
Sandy Hook as the base.
For the asking Marietta can get a
bench mark, and put the same in a
conspicuous place on one of our public
buildings-probably the City Hall, 1t
would be of interest to know our exact
level, so let's have it made and record.

done.
Mr.. McGrew. Chief of the Precise
Level Corps, will reach Marietta the
first of next week, and his arrival will
be our opportunity to secure the mark.

O.,orsd voters Can't be Fooled.

The attempt to mislead the colored
voters of Ohio into supporting Mclean
snd Chapman will hardly amount to
auythiug. The colored voters are too
sensible TO be humbugged. The con.
vention that was held in Columbus a
few days ago was engineered and con-
trolled entirely by men who have been
Democrats for years, and most of whom
are now holding offices as Democrats,
and the arrangements for the conven-
tion were made by the Democratic
State committee. The trick is an old
one, and it cannot be played in Ohio
this year.
