WHAT THE TROCHA is.
A Sort of Fertilization hich Is Really a
Fools Monument.


Fools Monument.
The word trocha is of such frequent
occurrence in dispatches from Havana
that it seems likely in time to become
incorporated into the English speech.
An explanation having been asked OF
the term (which is pronounced trOtsha)
with the accent on the first syllable, it
may be stated that originally it de-
notes a foot path, pathway, or, some
times, short cut. During the present
Cuban unpleasantness it's Specification
has been applied to fortified high
road.
In approaching the trocha," the
first impeachment encountered consists
of a barbed wire fence, three and a
half feet in height. Behind this are
the posts of the sentinels, made of
palmetto leaves. Forty yards back of
these extends ditch, three feet deep
and four wide. This is protected by a
rampant of trunks of palmetto trees.
About another forty yards beyond this
obstruction the barracks of the soldiers
are erected of logs and other building
material, and covered with roofs of
straw.
The wall of stone and earth runs all
along the roadway. Trees standing
near it are assembled by winding stairs,
and afford places of observation over a
wide extent of territory. The military
stations are never separated by a
larger distance than that of half a
mile. The trocha, thus fortified, pre-
sents not only very available vantage
ground, but also monument of Span
ish perseverance and endurance, being
constructed under the burning sun of
the tropics by the troops that garrison
it, about $4,000 men.
1t may be that the trocha has served
the Spanish good purpose, but the
general judgment of military critics is
that it has not been worth as much as
il cost. The insurgents have frequent
ly crossed it, and it has not prevented
them, apparently, from carrying on
their operations according to their own
plans AS a matter of fact, they have
displayed more military skill and done
better fighting at all times than their
adversaries. They have been at a
great disadvantage in the matter of
al MS, but that has not prevented them
from defeating the Spanish in every
engagement on anything like even
terms as to numbers and position.
The old-fashioned muskets, shOtguns
and machetes have been used with far
more effect than the frst-class weapons
on the other side. 1t is impossible not
to admire their courage, their per
sistence, and their fortitude under the
most difficult circumstances. Their
commanders are not educated soldiers,
but somehow they have managed to
get and to keep the better OF the dis
tinguished experts whom Spain has
sent to put them down by scientific
methods. When so much has been
accomplished in spite Of SO many draw
backs, it is idle to talk about any other
result than the one upon which the in
surgents have set their hearts. The
independence of Cuba may be delayed
in one way and another, but it is sure
to come, and the day is not very
distant.

ON THE GRAND BANKS.
How the Cod and Halibut Arc Taken by
the Small Vessels.

How the Cod and Halibut Arc Taken by
tho Small Vessels.
Gustav Kobbe writes an article en-
titled ION the Grand Banks and Else
where" for ST Nicholas. Mr. Kobbe
says:
Tho trawlers arc generally found on
the Grand banks, the hand liners on
tho western bank and Quiro. These
hand lines are smaller vessels with
fewer dCries, and the mon fish with
hand lines, one man and two lines to &;
dory. Tho hand liner sits III the middle
of his dory, with compartment in its
stern and another in its bow for his
catch. When You see the bow sticking
far up III the air. you kOw the fisherman
has his stern load. Then. rs fish after
fish flashes INTO the other compartment.
the bow settles, and when the dory is
on an even keel tho hand liner pulls
back to the vessel.
The trlwlcrs bait with fresh herring,
mackcrcl and squid, the hand liners
with salt CLANS. Tho catch of both is
split and sailed, and the vessel has IA
full fare, or catch, when she has
"wet her salt''-that is, used ND all
her salt-and is full of fish, \ trnwlers
voyage lasts about weeks, "a hand
liners IL.
A traw1er's crew receives no wages,
but fishes on shares. First Inc captain
gets percentage; of the remainder, one
half goes to the vessel, which finds
that is, supplies the gear, stores, salt
and half the bait-and the other half to
a ~ lf,,fT ,,, Il.
which run from $40 to $3.50 and even
to $3.50.
But among the hand liners each man
is paid according to what he catches,
the fare" from each dory being weigh
ed as it is taken aboard. This stimu-
lates competition. There is Judgment
i'll knowing where to fish or how long
to stay over Il certain spot, and even the
quickncss with which Il line is hauled
i'll will mako perceptiblo difference at
the end of days fishing. 1t means
something to DO thigh linc," rs they
call the best fisherman, at the end of a
voyage, and those who win this distinc-
tion time and again, as some do, be-
como known as killers and "big
fishermon.'
Tho mann catch OH the banks is cod

small American vessels which pursues
tho merry swordfish. Swordtishing is
good sport-whaling on small scale. \

iron brace. When near enough to the
fish, no lets fly the dart. \ swordfish
