suppawn, samp, succotash.
The Chautauquan.


The colonists quickly learned from the
Indians to harvest, grind and cook the corn
in many palatable ways. And the foods
made from maize have retained to this day
the names given by the aborigines, such as
bominy, pone, suppawn, samp, succotash
Samp and samp porridge were soon favor
tte dishes. Samp is Indian corn pounded
TO coarsely ground powder in a mortar.
The laborious Indian method of prepar-
Ing maize for consumption was TO steep it
!n hot water for twelve hours. then to
pound the grain in mortar Till it was a
coarse meal. 1t was then sifted in a small
basket, and the large grains which did not
pass through the primitive sieve, were
again pounded and sifted.
Samp was often pounded in a primitive
and picturesque Indian mortar made of a
followed block Of wood or a stump of a
tree. The pestle was a heavy block OF
wood shaped like the interior of the mortar
and fitted with handle attached to one
side. The block was fastened to the top
OF a growing sapling. which was bent over
and thus acquired the required spring back
after the block or pestle was pounded down
on the corn. Pounding samp was slow
work often done in later years by nm
skilled negroes, and hence disparaginQlv
termed "niggering corn. After those SIM
pie spring mortars were abandoned else

Il was Jessingiy told that shippers in fog
could always get their bearings off the
Long island coast because they could hear
the pounding Of the samp mortars.

THE WIDOW sToLTz MURDER.
Two Arrests Made of Suspects in the
Portland Case.

MUNCIE, Ind, May 14.-Ira Court Mosier
was arrested at Albany this morning on sus-
picion Of being concerned in the murder Of
Mrs. Eliza Stoltz at Portland several
months ago. The victim was an aged wom-
an who resided on the outskirts of that city.
One morning neighbors became suspicious of
the unusual quiet about her home, and upon
entering they found that she had been
strangled to death. Investigation developed
that several thousand dollars which she was
reported to have drawn from the bank had
been stolen, presumably by her murderers.
Suspicion fell upon several persons; and one
man. upon being visited by the officers COM
mitted suicide by cutting his throat. There
was never any evidence showing him guilty.

appearance he made. Suspicion was di-

George Bertman, of Portland went to
Albany, and assisted by several men,
started to capture him. Mosier ran for the

He will be brought here for identification
this afternoon. 1t is said the case against
him was worked up by Pinkerton detectives,
who also have apprehended another man at
Clinton. There is a reward of 1000 for the
arrest and conviction of the murderers Of

EVACUATION OF BAYAMo.
Lieut.. A. s. Rowan Tells of the Occu-
patton of a Seaport by Garcia.

patton of a Seaport by Garcia.
NEW YORK, May IA dispatch to the
World from Key West says: 1.-The story of
the occupation of Bayamo by the victorious
Cubans was brought to Key West by Lieut..
A. S. Rowan. We had expected to find
Garcia encamped somewhere in the fields or
mountains said the lieutenant Imagine
our surprise to learn that his headquarters
were in Bayamo. That 1 had always re-
garded as one of the strongest Spanish for
titled towns. But such was not the case. Ba-
yamo had been in a state of partial siege
for months. Garcia simply worried the
Spaniards out on April "a. White flags
were hoisted over every Spanish fort around
Bayamo. General Garcia was correct in his
suppostion that the Spaniards did not in
tend to armistice. but simply hoisted flag
of truce to cover some treacherous mill
tary maneuver. That maneuver was the
evacuation of Bayamo. The Cubans an
swered the flags of truce with a heavy ar
tillery and rifle fire. The Spaniards retreat
ed in two columns to little town called
Embarcadero. on the Cauto river.
For a distance of two hundred yards
on the San AuSustin road the Cubans plant
ed dynamite torpedoes, that were exploded
by an electric wire from the underbrush
From what | have learned of the affair
continued Lieutenant Rowan, I believe that
three entire companies of Spaniards and
three pieces of artillery were literally blown
to pieces. General Garcias Headquarters
are in one of the finest houses in Bayamo
He received me most kindly and gave me
all the information that was in his power
The obtaining of that information was nv
official errand, so that l am not at ill.,
erty to tell you what it was. But / believe
that l shall be able to tell the State De-
partment all that It desires to know about
the eastern end of Cuba.
Garcia wants American soldiers as we'll
as rifles and ammunition. He is very kindly
disposed toward Americans personally and
his whole army is al the disposal of the
United States government in Washington.
Cuban soldiers are not much to look at
but they are the best guides l have ever
seen. Their endurance and resourcefulness
are something wonderful. 1 don't believe
in sending them Krag-J orgensen rifles. The
Remington is better adapted to their use
than any other 1t is simpler and is more
easily repaired.
After leaving Garcia kept to the north
ward and crossed the island With two
guides 1 explored the north coast There
are several harbors that are remarkably
well fitted for the purpose of invasion. The
Cubans are not only willing, but are anx-
ious to give us all the land we want for
permanent coaling stations. They look upon
the presence of the fleet In their waters as a
continual protection

staff. Major Lima was taken off the coast
of Cuba between Del Norte and Cojimar
by United States gunboat and was trans
ferred to a torpedo boat, which vessel
brought him here. The major is the bearer
of dispatches for the United States mill
tary authorities asking for the cooperation
of the latter and seeking arms and supplies.
He may proceed to Tampa after comforting
with Commodore Watson.
Major Lima says the uprising in the vi
cinity of Havana has brought about fright
full conditions of starvation. He adds that
carloads of reconcentrados who have died
from lack of food are taken daily through
the Spanish lines. The bodies are thrown
together in piles without any form of burial,
for the buzzards to feed upon. Major Lima
asserts that the Cubans around Havana are
gathering strength every day, but he ex-
plains that they are in need of supplies.
