Spanish ''governor-general' of Flor
IDA as his military headquarters. Dur
ing the brief English occupation the
ola building was the headquarters of
the commandant. The flooring is also
of coquina, and is as solid as when
laid, more than three centuries ago.
On the first floor are the dining and
reception rooms, and the family rooms,
with small loge cut out of the north
side for afternoon siestas, in front of
which is railing upon which fragrant
plants were twined as screen.
The second story was partitioned
into cells for the monks, the council
hall being in the center. These cells
rcmain as they were originally con-
structed. Each has small iail-like
window, either looking out upon the
bread Matanzas river or upon the In
dian village of Selory, just beyond the
city gates. The partitions are of Span
ISL cedar, brought over from Cuba.
The wood is in good state of pres
ervation, and is almost as durable as
rock. The thing for the floor was also
brought from Spain. This picturesque
red roof was supplanted in late years
by one of wooden shingles. The cedar
"mantelpiece" in the reception-room,
on the first floor, was recently removed
to admit of certain repairing, and the
carpenter was surprised to see several
Spanish doubloons roll out upon the
flooring. a general burrowing in and
around the house followed without
gratifying results.
The house is situated about two
blocks from the Matanzas river, and
near the present United States bar
racks and parade ground. 1t was the
center of military and social life dur
ing the entire Spanish occupancy. 1t
was the only house left standing when
the buccaneer, Francis Drake, sacked
and burned the town. Being built of
coquina, he could not burn it. Its re-
cent purchaser, j. w. Henderson, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer, is traveller
and antiquarian of note, and states
that he has purchased it for a win
ter residence, and will preserve the
ancient structure in all of its pictur-
eSqueness.

statisticians have been as careful as he
to present bare facts, and to present
them as fully as the statistician can. 1t
was he who originated the now famous
and much-quoted saying: Figures do
not lie, but liars figure"
The noted labor statistician began
life as country schoolmaster in New
Hampshire, his native state, and went
from pedagogy into law. Dropping his
commentaries for his musket he went

country to the end of the strife, he re-
sumed his law work and was admitted
to the bar.
In 1871 and 1872 he was New Hamp-
shire legislator, and was soon there
after placed in charge of the state labor
bureau, to take which position he gave
up practice of $4,000 year. In 1880
he supervised the national census in
Massachusetts,, and his work attracted
much attention for its thoroughness. In
1855 he was made the first labor COM
missioner of the United States. His
published works make very consider

SMELLING OF MATANZAS
Accordingly Interests Washington,
Amid RusY War Prenaratinns

Washington, April 2s.-The Smelling of
the Matsnzas batteries was the topic Of
absorbing interest throughout naval and
social circles generally today. II was dis
cussed on the basis of the press reports
from Kew West. as the navy department
received no information whatever on the
subject Secretary Long said at o'clock
this afternoon as he closed up his office
work for the day that no report has been
received from Admiral Sampson nor was
the navy department advised in any way
q the Smelling Of Matanzas.
Mr.. Long added that he felt no dIspo-
sition TO keep from the public any news
concerning such an important event as a
naval engagement. or a battle While it
was essential that future naval stragetic
moves should be guarded with the great
est care, yet Mr.. Long made It clear hat
this did not apply to events e they had
actually occurred. for as 70 battles and
their attendant casualties he recognized
that the public was entitled to know
what had occurred. The secretary said
that in the absence Of all information he
was inclined 70 believe that the shegling
vas confined TO the exchange OF few
shots, and did not assume thu proper
ttons Of regular bombardmsnt. When
his attention was directed 70 reports

Then the Cincinnati and the New York
poured shot into the yellow earthworks

hid everything from view. Only one more
shot from Punta Gorda was noticed. 1t
fell short of the New York by about 200
yards. 1t was believed to come not from
the earthworks. but from a field battery
on the brow of a slight hill about a mile
further inland than the earthwOrks. In
fact, it is doubtful whether any shots
were fired from the earthworks after the
two or three brOadsides had been poured
into them. What became of the soldiers
seen on Punta Gorda is not known. Some
declared they saw them running to the
brow of the hill where the field battery
was thought to be stationed, but this, as
