TROCHA COST MANY LIVES.
Over 1000 Soldiers Died of Fever Con
tracted There.

tracteu There.
n decided change has been made in
the plan of military operations in Pinar
del Rio province.
The western trocha has not been
abandoned yet, but the force along
that military line has been greatly re-
duced 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.
The trocha, says IL Havana dispatch,
was costly mistake in many respects;
in others it served its purpose. The
work was too cXpcnsively built. Al
though intended for n temporary pur-
pose, the bloclihouscs 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
permanent works that distinguished the
Spaniards in the days of the colonial
ton of America exists to-day The
trocha caused Maceo Il great deal of
annoyance. 1t staid the passage of
large bodies of mon east and west. Only
small groups succeeded in crossing.
The maintenance of the trocha has
cost dearly in human life. The country
through which it runs is malarious
naturally, and the throwing up of earth
works left pits which filled with stag
nant water in the rainy season. More
than 1000 soldiers have died from dis
ease contracted there. Even now many
are sick, mostly with chills and fever.
Yellow fever and dysentcry have been

Whore the Money Wont

waNcd eloquent on the subject of for

Prised on entering the village shop
during the week to be greeted with
marked GOODNESS by the worthy dame
who kept it, On seeking to know the
cause, the good woman produced a coin
from a drawer, and, throwing it down
before the vicar, exclaimed: "Imarked

BIG ALLIGAToRs.
Some odd Tales Told by an Old Florida
b. Hotel Register.

Some odd Tale, Told by an Old Florida
d. Hotel Register.
At the end of chapter on alligators,
in his book Hunting and Fishing in
Florida" Mr.. Charles b. Cory, curator
of the department of ornithology in the
Field Columbian museum. Chicago,
gives an entry which he once saw in
the register of the Brock house.
In the old days, when transportation
was more difficult than il is at present,
the Brock house was about the end of
by boat from Jacksonville. Ii 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 large alli-
gator, the largest seen here this year;
the stomach contained boot. a piece
of pine wood, n fisherman's float, and
some small fish,
Immediately beneath this record was
another, evidently added by some wag:
"March "a, killed much bigger alli-
gator than the one mentioned above.
The stomach contained gold watch,
$4,000 in government bonds, and n
cord of wood"
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 u steam
launch, lot of old railway iron, and a
quantity of melted ice, proving that it
existed during the glacial epoch"

facts that there is nothing left for me TO
do but to explain why we cannot consist
emily compete with the prices offered by
our eastern brethren.
In the first place the construction and
operation of telephone sytem cannot
be so economically carried on in the west
as in the east Our exchange opened
with 81 phones. With the advancement of
our subscription our private residence
rates have been very materially reduced
and will be further reduced, as the sys-
tenn advances. I do not see that further
reduction at the present time would very
materially increase our subsoription;ho how.
ever, if any responsible party wishes to
guarantee 100 or 175 bona tide subscribers
we would gladly consider reduction.
With sufficiently increased subscription
our customers might hope for dollar a
month rate in private residences.
1t is true the city councils in eastern
cities are limiting the rates in granting
franchises to 81 for private residence
phones, but I do not think the citizens of
Santa Fe can reasonably think that we
are in any way taking advantage of the
liberality allowed in our franchise. Very

PECOS VALLEY CELERY.
Twenty Acres ON One PecOs valley
Farm Growing Nicely-VfewsO Of
An Expert Grower.

William Farmer, manager of the E. 0.
Faulkner farm at Roswell, and an expert
grower of celery, says:
"While celery growing on large COM
mercial scale has not entirely passed the
experimental stage in the Pecos valley,
the experiments of 1896 and 30 far In
1897, on Spring Brook farm, have been
highly satisfactory, and our crop of four
acres last year has increased to 20 this
year, with promising future. As no
precedent has been established in celery
growing in this valley, commercially, l
have had to solve many questions of i'm
portance by experience, the outcome of
which was in many respects problematical.
l fully expect this years experience will
settle all doubtful questions, and the bust
ness Of celery growing will be an estab-
lished one, and one of the most impor-
tant of the valley.
"No other vegetable or fruit has grown
so much in public favor in 80 short a
time as celery. Not many years ago it
was luxury on the tables of the rich,
but now it is common necessity at the
poor mans board. know of no crop
that requires more painstaking care,
minuteness of detail, or careful watching
than the various processes of handling
celery, and no crop can be a greater loss
than celery crop if not grown right
but if grown right it can be sold right
and will be satisfactory to both buyer and
seller.
81 expect this year to send Pecos val.
ley celery into some of the most critical
markets in the United States, feeling con
fident that its high grade and superior
merits will win in public favor"

BLANKED FOOL QUESTIONS.
Privilege OF the Ubiquitous Reporter
to Indulge in This Amusing
Pastime AuthOritativeIy
Recognized.

One of the several gentlemanly scribes
employed by the New MEXICAN to chase
and corn ST the feeting item called on Local
Agent Lutz, of the Santa Fe system, this
morning, and hereby frankly admits that
he was rather persistent in his inquiries
as to the probable hour when the delayed
train from the far west would reach this
"neck of woods"
During the headend part of the CONVEX
sation Agent Lutz manifested surprising
patience and pol.tenese, but, IS the re-
porter persisted in pressing in his probe,
the gentlemanly and busy agent naturally
showed signs of that celebrated "tlred
feeling"
Finally he added that it appeared that
the overwhelming majority of the people
had nothing else to do than to ask
''blanked fool questions" and then judi
ciously and apologetically remarked to
the ubiquitous newspaper interrogation
point: "But your questions are all right;
that is your business"
Whereupon the faber pusher family
faded away, feeling that his much-prized
and precious privilege of asking "blanked
fool questions" had finally been reoog-
nized by competent authority.
