Time is to be given the men TO consider
the matter, it being the desire Of Gen.
Lee and of the war department that only
those commands which are really DESTROYS

and no decided change in temperature to-
day.
The planters and particularly the rice

diuons very closely just now. They are
ready to begin harvesting and the weather
is Il matter of great importance to them.
A number of planters expect to begin cut
ting to-day. The hight of the river from
now for the next two or three weeks will
be watched very closely. So far there is
no Indications of a freshet. The report
Of the weather bureau last night was that

church building. which occupied me
site of the present cathedral. From that
time until Florida was acquired by the
United States 1t was occupied by the
Spanish governor general of Florida
as his military headquarters. During
the brief English occupation the old
building was the headquarters OF the
commandant. The flooring Is also OF
coquina and is rs solid as when laid,
more than three centuries ago. On the
first floor are the dining and reception
rooms and the family rooms, with Il
small loge cut out of the north Side for
afternoon siestas. In front of which is
railing upon which fragrant plants
were twined as n screen.
The second story was partitioned In
to cells for the monks. the council hall
being In the center. These cells remain
as they were originally constructed.
Each has a small jall-lke window, Ell
ther looking out upon the broad Matan'
zas River or upon the Indian village OF
Selory. just beyond the city gates. The
partitions are of Spanish cedar, brought
over from Cuba.
The wood is In good state of preser-
gation and Is almost as durable As
rock. The thing for the roof was also
brought from Spain. This picturesque
red roof was supplanted In late years
by one of wooden shingles. The cedar
"mantelplece" in the receptlon-room
on the first floor was recently removed
to admit of certain repairing, and the
carpenter was surprised to see several
Spanish doubloons roll out upon the
flooring. A general burrowing in and
around the house followed without
gratifying results.
The house Is situated about two
blocks from the MatanZas River and
near the present United States bar
racks and parade ground. 1t was the
center of military and social life dur.
ing the entire Spanish occupancy. 1t
was the only house left standing when
the buccaneer, Francis Drake, sacked
and burned the town. Being built OF
coquina, he could not burn 1t. Its re-
cent purchaser, J. w. Henderson, is n
traveller and antiquarian Of note, and
states that he has purchased 1t for a
winter residence and will preserve the
ancient structure In all of its plctur
sequences.
