Gen. Wood, lately colonel Of the rou gh

nor of Santiago, is riding roughly over
Senior Ros, the civil governor, and
lot Of ANTICIPATED Spanish local laws
ard customs, much to the ANNOYANCE
OF the spaniard and the arrangement Of
his comfort and disturbance of his ca e.
With that inveterate disposition of the
Latins to pluck the goose with the least
product of squawks Santiago's laws
demanded the octroi on all articles
brought into the city. AS the people
Of that town had become impoverished
by the Cuban and our war and had
little enough of money with which to
buy food without having the amount
diminished by paying octroi, Gen. Wood
abolished the tax, and Senior Ros is
dCmbfcunded. Where, he asks, is the
money to come from for harbor i'm
provements? Evidently he has never
heard Of our river and harbor bill.
Queerly, to Americans, in contrast with
this tenderness fer the octroi is his so
licitude for his poor constituents, late
subjects, who are required by the Yam
kee governor to make report of deaths
occurring in their houses, an order
which he characterizes as most OBJ
pressive." All in all, it is clear that
those Cubans and Spaniards down

Didn't Feaze Dick Wainwright"

No clearer account has yet been CIV
en- of the destruction of the two torpe-
do destroyers of Cervera's squadron
than is that given by Ensign Powell in
a letter written on the 9Th to friends
at home. Some confusion existed In
the accounts Of the part borne by the
New York, which came rushing back
from Aguadores, in the destruction Of
the two boats. The ensign writes:
The Spanish vessels soon turned point
and we lost sight of them. Then there
and we knew. that more vessels were COM
ing out, and in minute saw, first one,
then second torpedo-boat destroyer appear
and head up after the other ships. They
had nearly clear chance to run, as oil the
vessels had passed to the westward except
one, the little Gloucester, commanded by
as big as either of the destroyers. a con-
verted yacht, with only six 6-pounders on
side-not as much of battery as that of
either of the deStroyers.
But that didn't feaze Dick Wainwright.
He sailed in and gave those boats fits, first
one and then the other. and when we We're
eastward of the three vessels a shot struck
something explosive one of the destroyers
there was, puff of black smoke. followed
by a cloud of white, and the vessel turned
and made for the shore. The Gloucester
then turned her attention to the other de-
stroyer, which turned and started back for
4-nch gun was ordered to open fire on It.
Seeger, the gun captain, hit that fellow the
first shot nailed boiler, and the boat never
moved again. The gun aft of ours also hit
her, and then both guns fired one shot,
Then they stopped, she done for.
1t is thus made clear that Vain
wright attacked both boats, and, while
the New York was yet three miles dis
tant. had destroyed one of them. The
other turned back towards the bay,
the Gloucester following, but met the
New York's four-inch gun, which sent
a shell through it's boiler. Brilliant as
was all the work done by our boats
there, that of the Gloucester surpassed
them ALL No finer Illustration of
American pluck dash, courage and
brave audacity has been shown yet
than was that fearless, unhesitating
charge of Wainwright in his little I'M
protected yacht upon those two for
midable torpedo destroyers. 1t has
not received from official sources the
recognition it merits.

'-Oklahoma Territory is the most
prosperous section OF country in the
United States. said {. y. Clark. OF
Chicago. The farmers and stockmen
actually have so much money they do
not know what to spend it on. The
population of the territory is not very
large. and t'cre are but three settle
mentS in it that can really be called
towns or c..ies. But the volume of
business tr; lsacted in those towns and
the few sma er ones i almost beyond
belief. The crop last fall yielded
about 800. 900. 900. as nearly as can
be estimated. and large part of that
fabulous sum remained within the ter
ritory. Business to-day is better in
that territory than any other state or
territory in the country. The cotton
crop especially was immense. Then
came the corn crop. which was excep-
large. The cattle business
was good. and the crops of both hay
and wheat far exceeded expectations"

CLIMATE NOT CHANGING.
Why the ''OIdest Inhabitint's'' View
Can Not Be Depended Upon.


A correspondent in Northfield.
Mass, desires our opinion on the
question, '.Were the winters of fifty
or seventy-fve years ago much cold
or, or were the snowfalls deeper than
at present? The opinion is widely
held that the winters were colder and
the snOwfalls deeper. but can find
nothing TO warrant the belief except
that in the first part of the century a
much larger percentage of the popu-
atiOn lived in the hill towns or in the
interior, which are both colder than
the valley or the coast towns
On the general question as to appre-
ciahle changes in climate the editors :
opinion is that there has been no such
change in any res pect whatever so far
as meteorology proper is concerned.
If we divide our records of weather
recorded in North America since the
days OF Columbus into two periods.
viz. before and after The year 1890.
We shall lind that every pecuIiarit;,
such as remarkable storms. winGS.
rains. Hoods. frOsts. etc. recorded in
the current century can be matched by
a corresponding remarkable event be
fore the year 1900. The popular in
pressiUns alluded to by our CORES
pOndent result almost entirely from
the imperfections of our records and
especially OF our memories. There Is
a large class of persons whose habits
of thought are so crude that when
they experience any very remarka BILE
weather they jump to the conclusion
that the climate has changed. forget
ting that they themselves have had
such a limited personal experience
that they are not fair judges of the
weather over the whole country or OF
the climate of a century.
Our correspondent seems to suggest
that Il certain change IN the habits Of
the people. such as the removal from
the interior to the coast. or from for
ests to prairies, or from country to
city, or vice versa. illpartly account
for widespread errors in respect TO the
climate. The suggestion is excellent.
but the editor would be inclined to in
terpret the phenomenon somewhat diff
ferently. The general movement of the
population in the past century las
bsen from the Atlantic states westward,
and from the country to the city. or
quite opposite to the movement sug-
gested by our correspondent. In fact.
we find no real agreement in the So
called popular traditions with regard
to the weather. We have met with
quite as many persons who think the
winters are more severe as with those
who think the winters are less severe
than formerly. Everything seems TO
depend upon how and where the old
est inhabitant'' lived when he was a
boy as compared with his present con-
dition. The average climate OF New
England 50 far as the weather i con-
cerned has not appreciably changed
since the days when her oldest forest
tseess We're young SaRtifFs. ana that
carries Us back nearly 800 years.

CEMENT VAULT.
Didn't Trust the Banks.
And Kept His Money in n Cement
Vault Under the Foor of His
House.

House.
Carpenters. while repairing John
Jeager'S house on Main street this
week struck something out of the
ordinary. They were tearing up the
floor in the back room when they dis
covered a solid cement vault in the
ground beneath the old derayed floor
ing that they were taking ~ TO replace
with new planks. The vault was small.
but it was made under ground. of
solid cement. l. had small opening
at one end just large enough for a
man hacd to enter Directly over
the vault was a short piece of flooring
that had evidently been used for an
opening to the hidden vault. The little
structure was no doubt made for Il
safe hiding place for money. but by
whom it was made Will probably never
he Known. The hdilding under the
ioor Of which this lind was made was
for years the property of Charles
CAM. and was occupied by him As an
ice cream saloon and confectionery
store In that little building, selling
ice cream, soda water. confections
and toys Mr.. CAM made and saved
quite a fortune He never trusted his
money with banks or even loaned it
out to any great extent. Year in and
year out he added to his pile" and
finally, when ne had accumulated
about all he thought he could handle
with safety he sold his property
moved to St Louis and invested his
money in READ estate. and he Is now
IA resident of St. Louis.
Mr. CAM s1ld the house where the
vault was found to man named
Bruce and Bruce sold it afterwards TO
John Jeagar and the building is now
occupied by Joe Jeager as a saloon.
Bruce was not a man with money to
hide away in the ground and r is not
~ all likely that he knew the where
abOuts of the secret vault uEder the
house he purchased.
Mr.. CanZ was man who had little
% say. He s,ixed with the people very
little. but he was always attentive to
business an4 treated his customers
nicely. He vas lover of money, but
ne was honest and honorable in his
dealings. When he took in = dollar
he laid ninecy-fve cents of it away,
and when he left Cape Girardeau he
left well healed" Everybody said
ne had plenty of money. but nobody
kaew or pretended to know the size of
his pile. Ii il had ever been counted
II was counted by Charles CAM and
ne was: :alOue when he did the counting.
The little cement vault discovered by
the carpenters was no doubt the hiding
place for years for toe money that Mr..
Canz was accGTulating from the sales
in his little place of business.
