FOURTH PRIZE.

Nature has furnished the diamond In
the rough with qualities that command
admiration in the polished gem. The
qualities of heart and mind that charac-
terize the true gentleman are Unborn.
One so endowed may be "born to the
purple" or merely the offspring OF the
plebian. Nature Is impartial. He who
Possesses high sense of, who instinct
lively and willingly sacrifices his own
and comfort to promote the
pleasure Of Others is gentleman. This
Is the gem in the rough. The customs
Of good society provide the polish.

UNITED STATES CRUISER STRIKES A REEF
IN SANTIAGO HARBOR.

UNITED STATES CRUISER STRIKES REF
IN SANTIAGO HARBOR.
Santiago de- Cuba. Dec 1S-While the United
states cruiser Cincinnati was leaving port about
sunse. yesterday she ran full speed upon rock
clearly defined I'm the charts but not buoyed.
Last September General Leonard Wood consid-
ering that the absence Of buoy there might
load 10 some accident. anchored a small one, the
first ever placed there. but the Bessie, on enter
ing the harbor one night. carried it away, and
since then there has been buoy to mark the
location Of the rock.
The Cincinnati is probably not seriously dam
aged az she Is not making water. For the last
twenty hours the Government collier Southery
and the Mayhower have been engaged I'm an ef-
fort 10 pull her off Thus far they have been
unsuccessful but II is hoped they will have bet
ter luck tonight AT high tide. The principal
risk now Is Of tearing a hole In the cruisers
bottom while pulling her off.
Captain C. ". Chester. the cruisers command
er insists that the landmarks are In the wrong
places and have not been altered In any way
since the American occupation. Pilots are not
compulsory upon the entrance Of warships. but
the Santiago IIarbor is difficult, and a warship
should invariably take one. Hereafter large
buoy will mark the rock upon which the Cincin-
natl struck.
1t now turns ont that the man who was shot
here on Friday morning by a Cuban negro after
landing from schooner haing from Baracoa.

Goa. who had come here TO purchase supplies
The assumption Is that the crime was com
mitted for the sake Of robbery.
From Formysa. town which Is virtually the
property Of the Juragua Iron Company, comes q
report that the Alcade has been attacked and
stabbed with a machete. and that there has been
another siabblng aHray at Baiquira. Although
these affairs are probably mining camp affrays.
th, authorities now feel compelled 10 police

sary owing 10 the fact that a majority Of the
workmen were Spanish soldiers. and under mill
