Cuban Central Railroad.

The secretary of war has called the
attention of congress toward the need
of building Il new line of rail-
road the entire length of the ISL
and of Cuba, with branch roads leading
to the different cities on the coast, 1t
ought not to be necessary to ask the
United States government to undertake
this enterprise. The $40, 900, 900 such a
road would cost ought to be forthcom-
ing from a corporation of American
business men whose commercial in
stincts should make manifest to them
the striking advantages to be derived
from a railway system for Cuba. 1t
would, it is true, give employment to
thousands of Cubans and teach them, as
the secretary says. habits of thrift and
industry, of which these people are
much in need; but the main thing would
be the opening up of the island to quick
and ready communication, not only
with the capital of Havana, but with all
parts of the island, and thus be the
means of bringing more and more valu-
able land under cultivation, filling up
noxious swamps, cutting down mala-
rious and obstructive vegetation and
making it the more easy for civilizing
influences to reach all classes of people.
The railroad is ever the harbinger of
the glad tidings of enlightenment, it
brings in the school house, the church,
the trader and countless influences for
elevation from those conditions tending
to standardization into which people
are liable to fall who are shut off from
ready communication with their fellow
men, and are liable to deteriorate from
mental dry rot. The island of Cuba has
within itself the greatest possibilities in
the way of minerals, lumber and agri-
cultural products, especially sugar and
tobacco, and a railroad would encourage
capital to invest in these great natural
of the island, and make of Gu
ba a land of untold value. There might
be for a while, as has been in the past,
fears of yellow fever. but with the build
ing up and differentiation of the coun-
try, such wholesome sanitation would
be introduced as to Danish all fears of
yellow fever thereafter. General Wood
has driven yellow jack out of Santiago
province, and his experience shows that
the remainder of the island can be sim
ilarly relieved.

he knew. "And another thing, you
don't want to roll out Of your berth and

He also told him other things, to all
Of which advice Willie promised to pay
strict regard.
The literary editor advised what
books to read OH the journey, the SO,
ciety editors on chance railway ac-
quaintances. Then he went. He wrote
CHEEKY letters back, said he escaped the
bunko steerers and was having a great
time; even had his tintype taken in a
bathing costume. So the Office breathed
more freely.
When Willie came home, as he did
in the fullness Of two weeks, he was
ready to talk.
"Have any trouble on the train,
Willie?" said the baseball editor as he
pounded his typewriter. Willie went
over very close to the baseball editor
and said: "Say, I couldn't get into that
hammock. 1t was too short"
Couldn't, ell? What did you do?"
II staid up and talked to the con-
ductor. Say, I caught a guy trying to
cop my shoes, and I didn't do a thing
to him. He said he wanted to shine
'em, but l was dead on to him."

gave the dingy a half dollar, and when
I asked for change he only gave me
back 5 cents. Was that right"
"No," said the baseball editor. "It
wasn't. You got the worst Of it.
"Then l did have a rough talk with
a fresh conductor, who accused me of
stopping the train. It was this way:
When I went to bed, of course I took
off some of my clothes. Oh, I was too
slick to undress altogether. Something
might happen, you know. Well, l took
off my coat and vest and threw them
across the clothesline that was along
nea the upper berth. They were pretty
heavy, and, of course, pulled the rope o
little. 1t made a kissing noise, and in
a minute or so the train stopped and
everybody got up to see what was the
matter.
"The conductor came rushing through
the train and said he guessed we were
held up. Everybody looked for a gun or
an ak, but no robbers were found. Then
the conductor came back, looking mad.
and said some smart guy was monkey,
ing with the bellrope. He saw my coat
and vest on the clothesline and raised
Ned, but l told him I knew my bust
ness. Then he and the porter and a
fresh travelling man giggled for an hour
so we couldn't sleep. Yes, I had a great
time. "-Cincinnati Commercial Trib-

The attitude of the Republican party

The attitude of the Republican party
Of New Mexico has always been con-
sistent on the question of the admission
of the territory as a state. We favored
the admission Of the territory when the
Democratic party was united in their
opposition against it. We still favor
its admission, believing that there is no
good and substantial reason for keeping
lis out of the Union as a state and be-
lieve that this can best be accomplished
by the election of a delegate to congress
who is i'll harmony with Republican
politics and principles.-Republican
Platform, New Mexico, 1898.

WILLIE ON A JAUNT.
THE OFFICE BOY TAKES A TRIP TO
NEW YORK.

And Has u Few Interesting Experi-
ences In n Pullman Car En- Route,
Which He Relates With Some I'm
warranted Pride When He Returns.
Willie took a vacation a few weeks
ago. He is the copy boy Oh the night
watch, and, after the managing editor,
rules the Office. Now, Willie has not
trotted the wide world over. He is a
plain, 60 ahead, every night boy, and
the pride, as well as the despair, of the
whole Office.
So when Willie announced that he
was going to New York the office threw
up its hands and gasped. The reporters
gathered around the adventurer and
told him many things; also they gave
him advice. The baseball editor, with
a singleness Of purpose that was touch
ing, took him aside and gave him some
valuable hints. Willie, being a little
doubtful on the etiquette of Pullman
cars, sought information.
CHOW, whatever you do you mustn't
be a farmer, " said the baseball editor
in his fatherly way. eff any smart guy

eagerness to attack the ram Tennessee,
and was Immediately struck by tor
pedo and went down head foremost.
Confusion now arose among the fleet.
The Brooklyn and Octorara began to
back, which put the other vessels out
of line. and the guns of the wooden
vessels were rendered useless, for the
most part the bows being thrown
towards the fort which raked them
severely.
Whats the matter?" shouted Farra-
gut from his lofty position under the
futtick shrouds of the Hartford.
'Torpedoes ahead" came back the
answer.
Damn the torpedoes!" cried Farra-
gut, go ahead! Four bells!" and he
made signal for close order.
He ran his flagship ahead and took
the position that he had originally in
tended to take, position which his
order shows was changed at the re-
quest of the commander Of the Hart
ford. The rest of the vessels followed,
and the line of battle was restored.
The rest of the ships crossed in safety
the line Of torpedoes, but as they
crossed the torpedo cases could be
heard knocking against the bottoms of
some of the vessels, and the primers
swapping, but none of the torpedoes
exploded. 1t was the Confederate idea
to sink the forward ships of Farragut's
fleet, and thus block the channel, but
this they failed to accomplish.
ONE AGAINST MANY.
Signals were made to cut the haw-
sers holding the vessels in pairs and to
attack the escaping Confederate YES
sells. The lashings were cut between
the Hartford and the Metacomet, and
the latter Immediately ran up the bay
in chase of the Confederate gunboat
Selma, and after brief but spirited
action, captured her. At about nine
o'clock the Union fleet came to anchor
having now passed the Confederate
works and being some distance above
Fort Morgan. AS active hostilities had
ceased the men were allowed their
breakfast. But hardly had the meal
begun when out from the protection Of
Fort Morgan steamed the terrible ram
Tennessee, which boldly ventured forth
to attack the entire Union fleet of sew
enteen ships.
Then commenced a remarkable and
unique encounter. First the monitors
bore down upon the Tennessee like q
pack of small dogs swapping at the
feet of great bloodhound. While the
monitors were directed to ram her, the
entire fleet closed about the doomed
Confederate vessel and opened terri
fic fire upon her. Bravely the Southern
err fought, but the odds against her
proved too strong. The Tennessee's
smokestack was shot away as were her
tiller chains, and she floated helplessiy
down the bay, followed by the Chicka-
saw which got quickly nstern of her
and ran her big eleven inch gun rignr
crate, while the rest of the fleet poured
shot and shell upon her. and the other
monitors lowered about using every
chance to ram. For about half an hour
