A Combination Which Our Occupation of
Cuba May Render Popular.
From the fact that it has not been
mentioned in the dispatches from the

on the south coast of Cuba have not
yet been introduced to Santiago rum" "
said man who has frequently visited
Cuba. 1T is the cheapest and best
drink that l know of in the tropics,
and l shall be very much surprised if
it does not become popular after the
war Santiago rum costs about third
as much as cheap whiskey and is ex-
ceedingly smooth. The best drink
that / know of for warm climate is
Santiago rum and fresh cocoanut milk.
l never have been able to get fresh
cocoanut milk here, and / suppose that
those who do not go to a cocoanut
country can never know the delights
of this mixture. The milk when fresh
is almost as colorless as water, and
when little rum is added to the COM
bination it beats gin rickey, even
though it may not be cooled by ice.
you will find that all the small
passenger steamers which sail down
through the West Indies are well sup
piled with Santiago rum, but the de-
mand for it is almost exclusively from
men who have become familiar with
its merits by living in tropical eli
mate Whiskey and brandy, although
the latter is very popular drink all
through the tropics, are exceedingly
dangerous, and one is very much bet
ter off without them. At one South
American port where l used to call
regularly the favorite drink was YER
mouth straight. A large proportion
of the population was French, and
every afternoon the men and women
would drive out to the roadside cafes
and sip vermouth. 1t was served in a
tall thin glass which was half filled
with ice. The ice made it expensive"

The long range shot of the new

four days he will come up to the city, and

gubernatorial intentions. At present he
will talk of nothing but his ''crack-a-
jacks" as he calls his Rough Riders, and
will say nothing of himself
There is an interesting story connected
with Colonel Ro3ssvelt's boom that is worth
relating for what II is worth. One of the
chief means Of booming the candidacy of
the hero OF Santiago was the distribution
of campaign buttons bearing striking facs
of Mr.. Roosevelt. One manufacturer alone
is said to be turning out 10000 of these but
tons daily, and his orders are nowhere near
an end, But the anti-Plattites wanted some
sort OF recognition from their candidate.
Heads were laid together. and after con-
siderable scheming and at the direct sug-
gestfon of w. H. Fearns, "the Irish giant
orator of the eleventh assembly district,
Secretary French of the anti-Platt organi-
zatton sent Colonel Roosevelt one of the
buttons bearing his portrait and this leg
end, Theodore Roosevelt, governor of New
York"
1t was accompanied by the neatest kind
of letter from the secretary, coucf1ed in
these terms: Il have pleasure in sending
you this campaign button. Your friends
are already in the field, and they will stand
by you to the last" That was more than a
month ago, and the committee waited anx-
iously for an answer. -Four days ago there
arrived at their headquarters letter post
marked at the front at Santiago. 1t was
addressed to Secretary French, but he was
out of town. and there was no one that
would open it IN his absence. When Mr..
French arrived at the headquarters yester-
day he was received with open arms. He
was at a loss to understand the warmth of
his reception. 1t was finally mads clear to
him that the long-looked-for letter had
come. and he, too, became as impatient as
the others to get at the contents. With
much nervousness the envelope was torn
open. and this is what it is said to have
contained:
SANTIAGO. July q, 1898.
Dear Mr.. French Indeed it was very
kind of you to have thought of me and to
have written. Sincerely

says he heard volunteers denouncing the
American pigs" that Cay with abundant
Spanish profanity, who. two days later
were greeting our soldiers at Ponce with
prcfuse protestations Of friendship for Ms
and maledictions upon Spain and every
thing Spanish.
They Are Time-Servers
These two-faeed wretches are simply
time-servers. Many of the Spaniards OF
the better class make no such protesta-
tions although they are genuinely glad that
the end Of Spanish rule, with its exactions
and expressions. is at hand. They do not
forget that they are Spaniards. proud of
race whose achievements were so many ana
so great; and they view with grief the final
ruin of Spain's military glory.
The writer lodged one night last week
at the hacienda of rich sugar planter,
just outside of Juan Diaz. The planter
was a Spaniard. His wife and children
were born in Spain. They were rather
frigid at first; but when they ascertained
that the writer and his companion were
correspondents, not officers they gradually
became more genial; and. after disposing
of a bottle of fine old Madeira, the old
gentleman actually wept Not, he said, be-
cause the Americans were to possess the
fair island of Porto Rico. He had been
in America and fully realized that with our
conquest would come progress and many
advantages to the inhabitants. He wept.
he said, because the Spanish soldiers had
basely deserted their flag and dishonored
their country. To be defeated, to yield to
superior force-that was honorable, but TO
fiee-that was disgraceful. Then. as his
eyes lighted up, ne said: But Otega and
Macias will retrieve the national honor.
They will fight They may die, but they
will fight
1t was strange to hear this Spaniard, who
honestly rejoiced because of the prospec-
tive American conquest, bewail the fact
that thus far the invasion had been blood
less. He desired to see the island con-
quered, not surrendered.

FORT MARION'S DUNGEONS.
Spaniards Used Them a Place to
Torture Their Victims.

Spaniards Used Them a Place to
Torture Their Victims.
From the New York Mail and Express.
The most interesting sight in st. Angus
tine is Fort Marion. as the old structure
was rechristened after the Florida pur-
chase. in honor of our revolutionary gen.
eral, Marion. It's grim, weather-beaten
bastions and parapets are all built of CO.
ouina-that strange calcareouS deposit of
decayed sea shells, making a kind of nat
ural and durable mortar that solidifies upon
exposure to the air. Even a new structure
of this material takes on instantly a gray
and venerable appearance. One might
wonder for hours or sit for days near one
of the sentry boxes or in the antique watch
tower of this fertilization and dream of
the successive scenes of conquest, OF
Spanish cruelty, of French revenge, of
British conquest, of Spanish reoccupation
and of final acquisition by the United
States.
Sergeant Brown of the regular army is
in charge of this historic pile. He will
show you through the old casemates, each
of them curious enough and will reach his
elimination of horror in the dungeons be-
meath the northwest bastion. Here, OPEN
ing by narrow passage from the central
place of arms, is the place of punishment
for prisoners. The walls still show the re-
cesse5 into which were let six crosses. Be-
fore one of the crosses the hapless pris-
oner was hung in chains, so arranged that
he could neither sit nor stand, while every
movement was an agony, and while the
cross. emblem of peace and love, hung
above him until he was ready to confess
or die. 1t must have been a sacrilegious
travesty of the crucifixion.
Until the year 1895 this large prison
chamber Of comparatively public imprison-
ment and torture was supposed to be the
most thrilling relic of Spanish mediaeyaI
barbarfty; but in that year the moving of
a heavy cannon on the outside parapet
above broke through a roof and then were
revealed two inner chambers. Investiga-
ton showed that these inner dungeons
were connected with the larger prison
chamber by low, narrow tunnel, running
through walls four feet thick This tun-
mel, before the transfer of the old fort had
been blocked with masonry-perhaps to
conceal from the new owners the testi-
mony or atroefous cruelty; or perhaps the
tunnel was blocked at a far earlier period

WORKINGMEN's INSURANCE.
Time Demonstrating the Value of the
German System.

According to United States Consul Mon
aghan at Chemnitz, in a report to the State
Department, time is proving the practical
value of the German workingrnen's insIr-
ance system, the social and economic in
huence of which he says is very great As
explained by him the object of the system
is to alleviate the sufferings of workmen
and their families: Q) In cases of sickness;
(2) in cases of accidents incurred at work
C3) in cases of feebieness, wasting diseases,
decreased capacity to work and old age.
In cases coming under No. / there is given
free medical treatment: sick money-that
is, money during period of sickness with
which to obtain medicine, nourishment
ETC., or if desired, free treatment in a
hospital and support for the family; and
money, in case of death, is supplied the
family. The fund is furnished by en-
ployers and employed-the former paying
one-third, the latter two-thirds.
In cases of accident insurance the parties
receive support during convalescence, from
the fourteenth week after the accident
happens. Money is given the wounded per-
son from the fifth week. Rents are paid
from the first day of the fourteenth week
after the accident. The rents amount to
two-thirds and in some cases to three
ffths of the workman's yearly salary.
The fund for burial expenses is furnished
by the employers In cases coming under
invalid and old-age insurance, the parties
receive rents from the time they are I'M
able to work, without regard to age; old
age rents, from the SEVENTEEN year, even
if they can work and do not draw invalid
rent; and assistance against disease so as
to prevent incapacity. In case of his death
or marriage, the fup sum paid by the party
is returned.
During the years from 1885 to 1897 en-
ployers had paid in S31s,3S2,39 and work
men, s279 2S1 ,GS3, a total of $591, ,66ri, 40 OF
this amount s405. .121, ,S16 have been paid
out. Thus the workmen have already re-
ceived $125, 800 more than they have
paid in.
The annual amount paid out is increas-
ing at the rate of S5,510,000 per annum.
The reserve fund at the end of 1897 was,
in round numbers 500, 800, 900.
For every twentieth person of the en-
pire's population, one has been paid insur-
ance.
Besides this system, the consul says,
there are others by which worhingmen are
aided. There state and private inSur-
ance and pension systems One alone, the
Miners and Smelters' Union, paid out in
the years 1S95-1S91, inclusive, si61G0,OoO
From 1900 on, the annual amount to be
paid out will be upwards of $71, 10000, or
$3.50 for every working day in the year.
Whether system which makes so much
for paternalism is one to commend, the
consul says, he cannot say. Its effects he
adds, have been anything but bad. Pow
erty in spite Of poor wages, is practically
unknown.

A HEART -RENDING SPECTACLE!
The Strange Pathetic Tale Brought to

One OF the saddest, most incredible
revelations OF Spanish arocity in all
this heart-thrilling and desperate war
is the wretched multitude of hopeless
prisoners discovered in the filthy
dungeons OF Cuba and Porto Rico.
Their case is even more deDlor-
able" says the New York Herald,
than that OF the wretched reconcen-
tradOs. These are men and women
who have been kept in jail for un-
conscionable terms, some on trump
