A MONUMENT TO OUR SOLDIER
 DEAD

On our first page, under the caption of Editorial Comment" we appeal to our readers for contributions to the fund for the erection of a monument at Prescott, us memorial to the late Captain W.O. 0'Neill and other mem- bers of the Arizona volunteer cavalry, killed in battle. We have since re- ceived copy of the sppeal issued by the committee having the undertaking in hand, consisting of Reece M. Ling, M. ]. Hickey, J. w. Wilson, Major F. E. Andrews, Rev. Father Quetu and Thos. L. Shultz, all substantial citizens of Prescott. In view of the promin- ence we have given the matter, it is deemed unnecessary to publish the text of the communication.
 However, we would urge upon the patriotic people of Gila county, and es- pecially those who were Buckley O'Neill's warm political friends and supporters, that they contribute to the fund as hberally as their means will permit. The request should appeal with peculiar force to our people from the fact that the roll of the henored dead among the Rough Riders, who fell valliantly fighting before Santiago, includes the names of three volunteers from Globe, to whose memories we owe this last tribute, however inadequate. We would suggest that meeting oi citizens in sympathy with the move ment be called, to appoint committee to solicit contributions in this county.

TO LEARN TO PROTECT SOLDIERS.

Kinsgton, Ja.. December 28. The
United States hospital ship Bay Safe ar
rived here today from Santiago, having
on board Lieut. e. nj. o Reilly, who is
20 be chief surgeon at Havana during the
American occupation, and Lieut.. Weston,
the two officers constituting a special
commission under orders issued by Sur
geon General Sternberg, to study the
methods now in use in the island OF
Jamaica for protecting soldiers OF the
British army stationed there from fatal
infectious diseases and from deieterlous
effects of climatic influences.
DIR. O'Reilly and Lieut. Weston, landed
after short quarantine and visited the
United States consul, through whom an
appointment has been made for an inter
view between them and the Captain Gem
eral and Governor in Chief of Jamaica,
Sir Augustus William Lawson Hemmiug.
They declined to be interviewed, but
seem somewhat annoyed at receiving no
official recognition of their presence AS a
commission At the colonial secretary s
il was asserted in answer to inquiries
made there an hour after the commits
sion S arrival that the colonial authorities
had received no intimation that the COM
mission was coming and had regarded the
first report of it's arrival as hoax. On
being informed, however that the com
mission was IN Kingston to study British
colonial military methods, the authorities
Immediately replied that DR.. q Reilly and
Lieut. Weston would be granted all the
facilities they might desire.

FRIGHTENED TIE CHINAMEN.

Springfield, Mass, December 2S.-The
Chinese population of this city was
thrown into big ferment of fear today
through the coming of DR.. jim Fuzzy Moy
of New York, United States treasury
official and interpreter. DIR. Moy came
here to round up the local Cinnamon, in
tending to arrest all those who coulG not
produce certificates of registration as
required by the Chinese exclusion act OF
1881. With police inspector he captured
six of the celestiais, one Of whom was
later released. The other five will be
taken tomorrow to Boston to be tried be-
fore a United States judge. Inspector
Ralph Izart of New York win take the
prisoners out Of the city. They will be
charged with illegally living in this
country, the penalty being one years i'm
prisonment at hard labor, followed by
deportation to the old country.
The coming OF DIR. Moy terrorized the
hundred or more local Cinnamon, with
the result that number, getting tip OF
what was going on, fled from the city.
DR.. Moy said that complaints had heen
sent to Washington by local laoor unions,
and for that reason he was ordered here
to make wholesale raid.

WEATHER in CUBA.
An .so1d Prob'' WIN Be Established
On the Island.

Washington, December 2S. To-day Secre
tary Wilson directed Chief Moore of the
weather bureau to move the headguar-
tsrs of the present West Indian storm
warning service from Kingston toHavana
to establish complete meteorological sta
tion at Cienfuegos and Puerto Principe,
and as rapidly as possible to extend the
climate and crop service of the weather
bureau over the island so that within a
period of probably less than two months,
our people will be fully informed as to
the condition of everything meteorological
and agricultural in the various portions
of the island. Secretary of war has been
requested to assign to the weather bu.
reau, buildings and grounds for the SER
vice at Havana.
The secretary of agriculture added TO
the staff of the West Indian weather ser
vice, DR.. Enrique del Monte, a noted Gu
ban scientist, and Capt. Luis Gay Car
boneIl, former chief of naval metsrologl'
cal service of the Spanish Antilles. "A ctiye
preparations are being made at the ch1ef
office of the weather bureau to ship the
most improved in Instruments ana appil-
ances to the new stations. Ihe COST OF the
entire United States weather bureau SER
vice in the West Indies, including obser-
vatories on the north coast OF South Anne
rica, will probably be much less than
what was expended by Spain in maintain
ing an inefficient and almost useless
meteorological service over Cuba alone.
Acting under the directions or the Sec
retary of agriculture some montns ago,
the chief OF the weather bureau began
the establishment of a complete climate
and crop service in Porto Rico. 1t is ex-
pected that by the first week in January
q full crop report showing the condltlon
of crops in all of the provinces OF Porto
Rico will be published.
some years necessarily will elapse be-
fore any forecastings of weather can be
systematically and regularly made fol the
Philip nes or the Sandwich islands. 10
do this successfully and promptly quick
cable and telegraph comm nn1catlon be-
tween the points covered IN the forecasts
are essential and these features are lack
ing in the groups OF Islands named. Cu-
riously3 enough Prof. Moore points out
that s.As hurricanes in the philippines
which occur little earlier in the season
than in the Vest Indies, arise in the same
general direction and follow the same
course as those in the latter islands. 1t is
posi- BILE tina an agent OF the weather pu-
reau may be sent to Honolulu and Manila
during the coming year to make general
study of the situation in the islands OF
which they are the principal cities, but
sven this is not yet fully determined.
Prof. Moore says the Spaniards main
tanned meteorological stations at several
places in the Philippines, but they are
not of much value. When the Philippine
question is taken up the department. Will
establish central meteorol oglcal sta
tion in the islands and by means OF re-
Dorts Of rain falls and thermometer read
inc at various places in the group will
