English Champion Comes for His Match
With Burns.

English Champion Comes for His Match
With Burns.
Tom Cannon, champion wrestler of
England, who is to meet Farmer Mar
tin Burns in mixed match at Har-
per's theatre Friday night, arrived in
the city this morning from Clinton,
Iowa, where he has been visiting re-
latives. and is now registered at the
Harper.
Cannon, although Briton by birth,
is naturalized citizen of the United
States. He has visited this country
10 times. He was married at Clinton
in 1856. He subsequently engaged in
business in England, but eventually
returned to his old love, wrestling.
He was responsible for the introduce
ton of Yousuf, the terrible Turk, who
was lost at sea last summer, in Amer
lea.
Cannon claims the championship of
the world in the Graceo-Roman style.
He and Burns will have bout catch
as-catch-can and one of Graceo- Ro-
man, and if third fall is necessary
to decide the match, the man winning
the fastest bout of the two is to have
the privilege of naming the style of
the decisive fall.
Tom Cannon failed to throw young
Sandow twice in half an hour at Gin
ton, Iowa. last Saturday. Cannon wants
another chance at him.
Cannon and Young Sandow (whose
right name is Louis Rueb) are matched
at Clinton next Monday night. The
English champion will make an effort
to throw Rueb three times in an hour,
catch-as-catch-ca for purse of $175,
which has been hung up by the man
ager of the Davis opera house.

TURTLE AND THE SUPERSTITION.
A Matter OF Theology Involved in an
Interesting Samoan Experiment.

The South Sea turtle, though smaller, Is
just as rich an article OF dlel as the
green turtle OF the West Indies The
ocean about Samoa swarms with turtles,
and on certain OF the islands there are
beaches much frequented by them in
the season OF laying their eggs. From
one Of these beaches a resident OF Apia
obtained half a dozen turtles alive. lie
had some sort of an idea that by keep
ing them for a while and turning them
loose they would establish themselves
on his beach and return regularly IN
the egg season. 10 was Il taking theory;
IL had been proved TO work in the case
OF brook trout and Goldfish. and It should
succeed I'm the case Of turtle. lie built
a large pen on his beach in the suburb
of Vaiala. It's walls were guaranteed
turtle proof. they included nice sunny
beach. a shady stretch Of trees, pool
which the tide never emptied.
Every precaution was taken that the
turtle should not escape and by their
escape spoil the experiment. Every pro-
vision was made for the comfort or the
captlves and the supply was generous
Of such articles as II was supposed that
the turtles fed upon. The new proprie-
tor Of this acclimation station set be-
fore him the task Of habltuating his
turtles by kind treatment and abund-
ance OF food to his particular beach.
But there were others who saw I'm Il
nothing but a turtle farm, and at the
same time that the experimenter was
making q vain effort 10 get his pets to
come at a whistle these others We're
watching with watering mouths the
fattenng OF the turtles.
one fine morning there was a break
IN the fence Of the turtle pen In the
darkness the wall had been thrown down.
and the captives had vanished. The
experiment In accl.mation of sea turtles
was at an end. Very naturally sus-
picion fell on the Samoan population or
Vaiala. lt hardly seemed possible that
the turtles could destroy the wall after
10 had stood against them so long. But
Naiala as a community was shocked AT
the suspicion that II would commit theft
and Interfere with an experiment which
would result 50 much 10 the advantage
OF the village. And there was another
reason why the village could not have
done the foul deed. II was mot thing
20 speak OF In public. but the chief OF
the town came privately and divulsed It.
In the old days OF heathendom the Vaiala
god Inhabited the turtle. IL would have
been death 10 any Vaiall man To eat
turtle meat Now they were all Chris
tans. but the people were superstitious
and would not have anything 10 do with
turtle.

BUILDINGS IN PORTO RICO.
Some Fine Structures that VIII Come
Into Possession of the United states.


Into Possession of the United states.
When the Spanish troops eyacUFte the
island the United States Will come into
possession OF large number OF commo-
dious buildings in this city. which are
now used as Offices by the various royal,
provincial and municipal officials Some
Of these are pretentious In the extreme.
and all OF them are exceptionally we'll
built. Among the structures used by the
officials Of the Spanish Government the
palace of the Captain-Generai is easily
the most beautiful. Like most or the
buildings i'm the city, IL Is constructed
Of brick. coated on the outside with
cement. and tinted a rich cream color.
IL stands near the sea. at the head or
a narrow street. on a hin just south or
Moro Castle. The Offices OF Captain
General Macias and his secretaries &C.
rupy the lower floor, and tho upper floors
are used as living apartments by the
Commander and his staff.
Fronting the Plaza Alfonso Doce on
the west IS the Intendencia, ana on the
north is the Alcaldea The former IS
the treasury Of the province, ana the
latter corresponds TO the municipal
buildings in an American city. both are
handsome structures.
In the Marina. or shore district are
two public buildings OF more yhan usual
interest. one of these IS the Preside
where prisoners who have been convict
ed Of major offences are confined. The
other is the Arsenal. which, as the name
implies. Is a repository for arms and
ammunition for naval vessels. IL Is also
the Headquarters for tho commander OF
the naval station.
OF the fortidcations, Moro Castle IS
perhaps the best known. especially since
the bombardmont Of May 18th. BESIDES
the Moro. there are two other forts
or. as they are called. castles, which add
greatly TO the strength OF the citys de-
fences. The more important OF these is
the castle Of San Cristooal. which Is
within the city gates. and about half
mile east OF Moro. II Is massive
structure. occupying the crest OF high
hill. and IT is used as the headquarters
OF a regiment of artillery The fort OF
San Geronimo IS the easternmost of tho
city's Notifications. 1t stands between
the Atlantic Ocean and an inlet.
Back on the hill near Moro is the
insane ASYLUM. a long structure which
while II Is not an important addition
TO the clty's architecture. IS most use
ful and wclI-equipDed building.
While the cathedral will not become
Government property. It is such an ia
terestlng building that 1t is wei worthy
OF reproduction. 1t is one OF the Oldest
structures In the city. and It's intssioi
decorations. especially the Provlicncia,
or Shrine OF the Virgin. are superb.
The Curatel of the Guardia civile Is a
small though interesting structure where
the Gardes Civies make their headqaar-
tiers.
