secretary Wilson,s JoI.e

Some Iowans in the rooms of her house committee interstate commerce are telling joke that Secretary of Agriculture James Wilsonplayed on Senator Gear when each was serving his country as d m nber of the house from Iowa. MT. Wilson was known as the granger congressman" and visitors to the galerly often had d curiosity to see the farmer statesman. One day MT. Wilson was sitting in the gallery with a party of friends who were visiting him. $ and he was pointing out to them many of his colleagues, relates the Washington Post. young lady who chancsd 10 sit near and seemed to be from the vicinity of Boston observing that MT. Wilson was familiar with the names of members on the floor, asked him to kindly point out the "granger congressman from Iowa that she had heard so much about.
 "With pleasure" said Mir. Wilson. e"N " look right over this way. Do you see that man reading a newspaper9''
 "eThat man with the whskcrs?" inqur the young lady,
 "Yes," responded the future secretary of agriculture. That is the man.
 Well, declare,' she continued. 'T im- agine he does look a good deal like far mer, although l never saw many of them. '
 When Senator Gear was appraised of the joke he enjoyed it fully as well as di1 MT. Wilson.

Hob Taylor,s Soft Heart

Governor Taylor, of Tennessee, is no ed for his ability to tell good story as well as for softness of heart that compe.s pardoning power than does any other gov ernor. An illust. ati5n of bo h of tlese traits came under my observation short time ago during my visit to Tennessee, says a writer in Leslie's Popular Monthly. was sitting in the parlor of the Marshall house, in Nashville, with a little party of friends, which included Governor "Bob," when the latter was asked If he were not overrun with applications for pardons. Tie starts the genial governor on a string of stories, and this instance was no exception. He told four or five before the-little party broke up. One of them at least is worthy of larger audience.
 The governor had fled to his summer home to escape the crowds of pardon-s sc k CTS, when a woman wha had sought him in vain at the capitol was ushered into his presence.
 .'Well, madame, what can do for you7'
 q want to see the gov'ner, sir.'
 Well, I am the governor; waat is it?''
 "Ah sir, my man. he's been put in pris- on, sir, and want to ask if you won't let him out"
 The governors face hardened. He had not, after all, escaped the pardon seekers. But 1t did not turn her away. 'NNhat was he sent for?" he asked.
 "You see, sir, we was hungry. and he just stole ham to keep us from starving"

 In the old days, when war vessels went under sail, there was enough pulling and hauling to keep Jack in good health and spirits, his liver working all right and his stomach in fine gnawing condition so that the dinner pennant was pleasing sight to him.

Approved of the Last Phrase

No enc has a higher opinion of the Amer ican sailor than Commodore Casey, the commandant of the League Island navy yard. as the following story will show. Re. gently there was produced at one of the local theaters naval play, the theme b2- ing trouble between Aemrica and Euglard, in which one of the performers took the part of a bluff American sa Tor. In order to make himself perfect in his rart the actor visited the navy yard and asked the commodore for the privilege of looking around. The commodore not only granted the request, but in a personal talk gave the actor some pointers says the Phila- delphia Record Later the actor submit ted the manuscript of his part to the com modore, who suggested that some of his lines which were directed against England be stricken out. One line was evidently missed by the commodore It was as fol- lows: I've haven't got much manners but we can fight like -
 After the play had been produced the actor had photographs taken in costume, and to show his appreciation of what the commodore had done for him he sent one of the pictures to that official. On the back of the photograph the actor wrote the lines quoted above, and appended his photograph. By the next mail the per- former received a letter from the commo- dore, in which he was gwen to understand

 The Monkey Drill
 There are eighteen movements which have to be gone through with every even- ing. They are like those that used to be taught in the public schools, though bet ter. The men double up their fists and shove out one arm and then the other with enough violence to get the good of it. They extend arms horizontally, then reach them up and drop them down. They reach the arms out front and then swing them back as far as possible. They extend the arms horizontally and wabble them so as to describe small circles in the air. They

 The engineer comes up from the bowels of the ship and says the boiler Is all right. There is less style about the engineer, be- cause he has been doing this for many vars. His salute is merely a reminiscense, not half so prim as the young cadets, who was having collie when the engineer had his commission. All the officers report, and then the executive officer tells the cap tain as much as he thinks fit. Immensely solemnz function it Is, almost pontificial in its ritual. The bugler toots a tune and

A DESCRIPTION
 OF SANTIAGO
Most of the Defenses Obsolete The City an lmpor-
 tant One.

Washington, June 3.-Santiago de Cuba has the reputation of being the best pro- tected harbor in the western half of the world In the first place it has the most admirable natural advantages. The en- trance to the harbor is long and narrow. The channel Is deep at it's narrowest point and is only 540 feet wide It lies between high reefs, which afford excellent opportu- nifty for mounting guns. It also affords an excellent opportunity for mining.
 Although the peculiar entrance to the harbor makes it possible to fortify the port impregnably. the spaniards have not taken ful ads an age of its possibilities The fortifcaticns which command the harbor were once undoubtedly very formid- able, but they are not such as could be de- pended upon to resist any great fire from the modern guns of high power The com. position of the Qualifications is masonry The guns with which the forts are armed are also for the most part cut of date. Most om them are of the old smooth-b re pattern.
 The chef fertilization of Santiago is Morro Castle. This ancient fort sta-ds out boldly on a hill east of the harbor, and is decidedly picturesque. It is of the ram bling and irregular style of the forts which were constructed in the olden times, It
 
 The fort is known to have had five 1)-inch guns of the modern pattern and a large number of the old-style cannon.
 Directly opposite Morro Ccstle is the block house, small stone bu Id ng. strengthened with heavy railroad ir h. This building has some guns in 1t. The number is not definitely known outside of Cuba, for they have been recently placed in position Along the entrance to tho harbor are the Estresa anld other small batteries and the Santa Catalina fors At the foot of oMrro Castle, on the sea side, are also several masked batteries The Blanco battery near the city is an in- considerable affair."
 Captain Schaarschmidt of the Hamburg American line steamer Polaria. which left the harbor of Santiago on May B, brought the information that the harbor had been made narrower by the placing of obstruc- tions in the channel, so that at the pres ent time the safe channel is not over 100 feet wide. He also said that new Krupp guns were being mounted on each sid of the entrance to the harbor when he came away, and that he knew the harbor had been carefully mined.
 Santiago is port second only to Havana in strategic and political importance. It is the capital of the eastern department, as well as it's most fiourIshing seaport. The

letic, strong-bodied workmen would have had corps of fat policeman too fat to stoop over the guns and too fat to run. But he took with him sender-bodied boys who could duck shot and could get out of the way when shell whzzed over their heads.
 To keep them in this shape it Is necessary to keep them in daily drill. It comes right after evening quarters at 5 o'clock. The marines and sailors have all lined up on the deck. The skipper has come out of his cabin and stands on the starboard side little in front of the gang-way that goes down into the ward-room.

city is situated five miles from the mouth of the harbor During ordinary times it has population of about 5J,000 mostly blacks. There are numerous hands me buildings in the city, both public and pri-. yate, including the residence of the a.ch- bishop and governor of the province.
 The long narrow channel which connects the harbor of the city with the sea Is dot ted with many pretty islands, on, which are situated handsome villas Its many colored structures, promenades gardens and superb prospects make Santiago one of the most marvellous cities of the Antilles Back of the city are towering cliffs of the Sierra Maestro separate from the interior On the land side of the city there are nu- merous arthworks defended by small guns, which have been sufficient to keep back the insurgents. Nevertheless Genral Gatca has for many months kept the city practi- cally in state of siege. Communication with the western part of the island has been al- nest wholly by water.
 Several lines of railroad run from the city to the iron mines, sixteen miles east,s where Pennsylvania capitalists were e r-' ploying nearly 2000 hands at the time the war broke out. The city is the telegraph center from which radiate the submarine coast cables of the islands for the western department. Mexico, Jamaica, South Amer- ica, Hayti, Porto Rico and the Lesser An titles.
 The Spaniards are supposed to have at this time an effective force of 13,O00 men in Santiago. The garrison has been recently augmented by that which had bsen located at the town of Bayamo, which is seventy five miles to the west. The town of Bay amo Is now in the possession of General Garcia. who marched his troops in shortly after the Spaniards had taken their leave. General Garcia is supposed to have in the neighborhood of 1oo0) men, and in the event that Commodore Schley has destroy ed the Spanish fleet and established a blockade of the town, Garcia may be ex- pected to turn up on the rear of the city to harass the Spaniards from the land side
