TRoCHA COST MANY LIVES.

Over 1000 Soldiers Died Of Fever Com
tracted There.
A 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 a Havana dispatch,
was costly mistake in many respects;
in others it served its purpose. The
work was too expensiyely built. AL
though intended for a temporary pur-
pose, the blockhouses in many a in
stances were of brick and finished as if
Tor permanent use. Even the mortar
at the joints was nicely fooled. The
same disposition to erect massive and
permanent maj works that distin guished the
Spaniards in the days of the colonial
ton of America exists to-day. The
trocha caused Maceo a great deal Of
annoyance. It staid the passage Of
large bodies of men east and west. Only
small groups succeeded in crossing,
The maintenance Of the trocha has
cost dearly in human life. The coun try
through which it runs is malarious
4 naturally, and the. throwing up of earth
= works left pits which filled with stag
aant 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 dysentery have been
/ epidemic. ..- VIZ. III. +.

AN INDIAN LEGEND.
How the Mojaves Explain the Division OF
-

X s
The mystery surrounding the origin
of the Indian race is greatly enhanced
by listening to some Of the quaint leg
ends, says the Los Angeles Herald. Here
is one of them, related by the older
men Of the Mojave tribe: # Hi
Sat the time of the Afojave, the white
man, the negro, and all other people
lived together with their god, Mule
gvelia, whose mother was the earth, and
W]}Qse father the heaven. ~
## ..They were all supplied with food,
clothing, and many Injuries. Besides
these they had tools and all kinds of i'm
pleInents and machinery to work with.
6 Every thing was manufactured, and
especially matches.
Zone day Mulevelia died, and all the
people, excepting the Mo javes, fled, at 1T
er looting the camps Of every thing they
could lay their hands on, not even leav-
ing a match.
Here was a pretty state Of affairs,
and the dead god awaiting cremation!
There seemed to be no other alterna-
tive than to dispatch a messenger for
]. q spark from one Of the brilliant lu-
lninaries Of the upper region, and acoy-
pte was sent to a star for some fire.
after a long time he returned with
out success, and SO hungry that he
tried to eat up the dead god.
sAfastanho, the man, sat by rubbing
willow sticks together, and produced
fire, which they used in burning up
Mnlevelia.
After the cremation, which took
place somewhere near Fort Mojave, the
mountains at the foot Of the canyon
6 parted and the Colorado flowed through
and swept the ashes away.
sNIastanho now became chief and di-
yided the Indians into tribes and gave
them their allotments of land. =

Some Odd Tales Told by an Old Florida
Hotel Register.
e At the end Of q chapter on alligators,
in his book Hunting and Fishing in
florida, Mr.. Charles B. Cory, curator
of the department of anthology 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 importation
was more difficult than it is at present,
the Brock house was about the end of
civilization, and was a "a hours trip
by boat from Jacksonville. TT was at
that time a great resort for sportsmen,
who We're attracted there by the fish
ing and shooting to be had in the vi
entity. -.
The old register, which extended
back a. great many years, contained
some queer records, many of them Of
doubtful veracity. Among others,
some one had written:
March 10, 1872, killed large ALI
gator, the largest seen here this year;
the stomach contained boot, a piece
OF pine wood, a fisherman's float, and
some small fish, 81
Immediately beneath this record was
another, evidently added by some wag:
sMarch "a, killed much bigger ALI
gator than the one mentioned above.
The stomach contained gold watch,
$4,000 in government bonds, and a
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 a steam
launch, a lot of old railway iron, and a
quantity of melted ice, proving that it
existed during the glacial epoch.''
