WAS THE FIRST IN HAVANA

Special Correspondence Of the Sunday
Standard.
Havana, Sept. 1S.-The first thing 1
heard when 1 set foot in Havana after
landing from the first vessel flying cid
glory to arrive here since the war end
ed, was I'VE could have made only a
show Of resistance to the American
forces had they attacked us, for the
reason that we had very little ammuni-
ton. our army and navy would have
had an easy time of it capturing Ha-
vana." l nave since learned that there
was more truth than patriotism in the
admission. Everywhere the people
seem to be glad hat the war is over,
but they are waiting, waiting, waiting.
For what, you ask. For the decision
Of the Americans regarding their flu
ture. 1 can say here with confidence,
and after a careful anyass of repre-
sentatives of all classes of society here,
that the people would rejoice to know
that the United States government has
decided to make Cuba an American
colony, and nail the stars and stripes
to the flag pole on the palace of Ha-
vana.
IHefe was Il disposition among the
natives of all grades to fraternize with
the Americans and make much of them,
thanks to the reputation that preceded
us that We are mighty men Of war, be-
fore whom the world bows down. There
is no limit to the admiration of the PEG
pie Havana for our prowess. The gar
bled stories circulated by General Ban
co inc others in which the Americans
were said TO have been beaten at every
turn by he Spanish troops have been
followed by such wonderful accounts OF
the dash n courage OF the American
soldiers that both Spaniards and Gu
bans have grown to regard the soldiers
of the states as possessed OF supernat-
ural power when il comes to warning
on an enemy.
As our ships passed into the harbor
under the frowning walls of Moro cas-
tie we could see that they were crowd

made US proud to look up at our mast
head and see old glory standing u
in the breeze, every star and every line

soldiers was one Of respectful silence.

were coming in, he gave orders tina.

BRAZILIAN RESOURCES.
Fine Wood There Among Other Things.
Coffee Crop.

New York, Sept. PA special to the
Trfbune from Washington says: Con-
sui General Seager, writing from Rio
Janeiro to the state department in two
elaborate reports just made accessible,
gives some exceedingly valable infor-
nation concerning Brazilian
and trade with the United States. The
consul general calls attention to the
profitable business that might be lone
in the shipment of Brazilian hard wood
to this country. He says traffic is now
almost exclusively confined to rose
wood, but there are many other fine
woods in Brazil, some of which are
much cheaper and even more beautiful
thar the one mentioned. Mining is neg
lected. 1t is confined to a few English
companies. although the mineral wealth
of Brazil is well known. Coal equal TO
the best exists in Rio Grande do SUI.
The sugar cane industry has not been
developed. The production of cotton is
general. but decreasing.
on the other hand, coffee production
has so increased as to create difficulties
which contribute to.the prevailing prices
in Brazil. The state of Saopulo, which
led all the other provinces of the empire.
now depends upon the one speciality of
coffee culture. The grand total OF re-
ceipts of the coffee crop for the year
ending une 80, 1898. was 10, 690.173 bags
of 1872 pounds or 60 Kilograms, with some
loosely estimated amounts besides. The
shipments were 1.022, 939 bags, esti-
mated at an average OF $S.75 per bag.
The value of his export amounts TO
500, $50, 716. OF this quantity of coffee
exported, the United States received
4. 740,63S bags. In the last three calen-
dar years the shipments of coffee from
Brazil were as follows: In 1895, 6.91O. S31
bags; 1896, 7.4S1. 761 bags; 1897, 10. 1853, 765
bags. The New York prices per pound
in the last crop for quality No. ! (spoO
in New York, decreased steadily from
Z lie cents IN July l, 1897. to SIX cents
on May l, 1898. On July 1, 1898. the
price had advanced to 6h cents. on
June 80, 1898, the worlds visible supply
was calculated at 5,436, 600 bags, equiva-
lent to half a years consumption.
In the 10 years prior to 1897 the mar
ket price afforded an extraordinary
profit to planters, and there was enor-
nous increase i'm the area of coffee
plantations. Now these additional mill
ions of trees are bearing. The esti-
mates differ as to the crop of 1889. |
The official report places it at 1000, 900,
the commercial at 1900, 900. Eve the

Mr.. Saeger make certain practical
suggestions. One is that the time for
Investments in Brazil is while things
depressed. European capital is
there, especially English. A monthly or
trade journal should be estab-
lished by Americans in Rio and pub
lished in the Portuguese language. The
general indorses the proposition

The nervy part of the proceeding was

We passengers called on the British
consul and were cordially received, and

WHO WAS WILLIAM TELL7
An Old story Retold for Our Youngel
Readers.

Readers.
At one time the story of William Tell
was regarded as actual history, but
later critics nave shown 1T to be only
a legend common among nations of the
Aryan race. And the story of the Swiss
patriot is simply the old legend changed
to suit Swiss circumstances, and thus
represent the spirit of freedom as
ifested in Switzerland
According to this legend, William Tell
was a mighty marksman with the bow
and arrow, who lived in peace and hap
piness with his family at Burgelen, in
the canton of Uri. At that time, about
the ear 1907. Switzerland was a prov
ince of Austria; but the people had al
ready begun a struggle for freedom,
and William Tell was one of their ablest
leaders,.
Gessler, the Austrian bailiff at Kuss-
nacht, wishing to show his authority
and humiliate the Swiss, raised his can
on a pole in the market place of Altorf,
and ordered all passers-by to uncover
and bow down to IL in token of sub
mission. Tell refused to comply with
the arrogant order, and in seque
was condemned to death. Gessler, how
ever, upon learning of Tells remarka-
BILE skill with the bow, offered to release
and pardon him if he would agree to
shoot an apple from the head of his
own son. Tell accepted the alternative.
but determined that if he failed. or in
any way injured his little boy, the bail
if should suffer for il.
When the appointed time came, Tell
ventured the shot, n sent an arrow
whizzing through the center of the ap-
pie, while his son remained uninjured.
In the meantime the bailiff had noticed
that Tell had put two arrows in his
CULVER. and asked why he had lone so.
T kill thee with. If / had harmed
my son." answered Tell.
For this bold avowal Tell was put in
chains and taken on board the bailiff's
boat. to be brought TO Kussnacht. While
crossing the lake the boat was over
taken by a fearful storm, and the crew,
alarmed for their safety, implored the
bailiff to release Tell. who was an ex-
pert pilot, and let him steer the vessel.
The request was finally granted. and as
they neared a certain point, now known
as Tells Leap" Tell leaped ashore and
escaped.
The storm had now abated. and the
crew brought the vessel safely to shore.
Meanwhile, Tell concealed himself in a
narrow defile through which the bailiff
had to pass. and MORALLY wounded him
with an arrow. The fan Of the tyran-
nical Gessler was occasion for a general
uprising in the canton. and the Aus
trians were driven from the country.
In all Of these movements William Tell.
by his own heroic example, inspired the
Swiss people with hope.
Ii is said that Tell was drowned in
the Sc~hachen, while heroically trying to
rescue a boy.
