WILL SUFFER FOR WATER.
Rainy Season Over in Santiago-In-
surgents Tired of Peace.

Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 9.-The main
question now before General Leonard
Wood governor Of the military district
Of Santiago, is not political It is the
question of water which is a serious
problem. The rainy season is about
over and usually, after a. month or 50
of dry weather, water has to be brought
from the mountains and sold in the
streets.
General Wood is anxious to avoid a
repetition of such conditions. and has
engaged the service of three expert en-
gineers to report as to the best method
of supplying the city with water, wheth-
er with artesian wells or otherwise.
Matamore, a colonel in the insurgent
army, and formerly a bandit objecting

Gently took to the hills with twenty
men and IS now carrying on his old vo-
cation. robblng plantations and farms
Of cattle and horses, holding people up
and setting in every way a bad exam
pie.
General Wood is determined to sup
press MatamOre and a part of the gen
q .arme is now ready, uniformed and
drilled, well mounted and armed, to do
the work. Today twenty men, under
command OF a lieutenant, left for the To-
cality in which Matam0re and his COM
paniOns are operating with orders to
bring them all in dead or alive.
The general opinion here is that il
Matamore is not suppressed he will
soon have between one and two hundred
recruits. but now that the purpose of
the authorities is known, it is not ex-
peeted that many viii join him.
The Americans here are greatly an
noyed and the Spaniards deeply grieved
at the failure thus far of the special

Don Luis Nalideramna to recover the
remains of General Vera Del Rev the

SEBASTIAN TICKET.
Southwestern Passenger Association
Adonts INT. sebastian's Income

AQODES
Denver. Nov. 9-The principal lines
| of the Southwestern Passenger assocla-
} ton have adopted the Sebastian form
/ Of excursion tickets According to re
ports GIr. Sebastian IS now receiving an
income of SIS. coo q month from INES
11sfney his patent and the addition to the
list OF such roads in the sOnth as the
Santa Fe Rock Island. Missouri Pa
cific, St. Louis & san Francisco means
a large increase in the fortune OF the
lucky general agent OF the Rock Island.
1t has been claimed that the ticket
scaIpers have SO much difficulty IN
handling Sebastian tickets that the
roads have found their receipts general
Iy increased since this particular form
came into use in the vest Ticket bro
kerS deny the statement. and one OF the
leading dealers of the city declared yes
terday that ne had handled more than
500 OF the paStebOaTds this year. In
order to do so it is necessary for the
broker to be IN communication with the
original holder of the ticket. A Gus
toner coming along, the broker notifies
the original holder, who proceeds to the
joint agent Of the railroad companies
and WithdraWS the coupon which had
been deposited earlier in the season
This coupon is then handed the patron
by the broker and he starts upon his
journey. Should the conductor sus-
pect that the passenger is not the orig
inal buyer of the ticket he may obHge
him to write his name. The signature
not agreeing with that on the ticket,
the passenger is liable to be jerked
from the train. Brokers claim that the
rules of the companies with regard to
signatures Of passengers are not en-
forced and If any instance they are,
the conductor hesitates, as it is a sert-
Gus matter to eject q passenger from
train. In any event the deposit feature
of the Sebastian ticket has made 1t ma
ny friends among railroad officers and
especially so, as IT ena bles roads to
keep closer tab to each other apd pre-
vent tickets in large blocks from being
on the market as under former con-
ditions The value OF the Sebastian
ticket viewed from this standpoint is
in its preventing low priced transpor-
tation from being put into the hands of
brokers by railroad companies them
selves.

use by ali the roads of the Western
