RAN UPON A ROCK.
THE CINCINNATI STRIKES UPON
A REEF.
Accident Happened tho Cruiser Was
Leaving Port Mt Santiago-Rock
Defined In the Chart But
Not Buoyed.

Santiago, de Cuba, Dec. 1s.-While
the United States cruiser Cincinnati
was leaving port about sunset yester-
day she ran at full speed upon a rock
clearly defined in the charts, but not
buoyed Last September General
Leonard Wood, considering that the
absence of buoy there might lead to
some accident, anchored a small one,
the first one ever placed there, but the
Bessie, on entering the harbor one
night, carried it away, and since then
there has been no buoy to mark the
location of the rock.
The Cincinnati probably is not SER
iously damaged, as she is not making
water. For the last twenty-four hours
the government collier Southey and
the Mayfower have been engaged in
an effort to pull her off. Thus far
they have been unsuccessful, but it is
hoped that they will have better luck
tonight at high tide. The principal
risk now is the tearing of hole in the
cruisers bottom while pulling her off.
Captain c. M. Chester, the cruisers
commander, 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 war
ships, but the Santiago harbor is diff
cult and a warship would invariably
take one. Hereafter large buoy will
mark the rock upon which the Cincin-
natl struck.

CUBAN SELF-GOVERNMENT.
Con. Shaftsr More Forcable Than Polite
Regarding the Subject.

Regarding the Subject.
Savannah, Ga. Dee. 19.-At the col
lation of the officers of the Third
Georgia regiment of PostmasterGen-
eral Smith and the newspaper cores
pondents, Gen. Shafter had some inter
esting things to say about Cuba and
Cubans. He did not make a speech,
but in conversational way expressed
hims elf, his remarks being nominally
addressed to Col. Berner of the Geor-
gians, though they were intended for
the whole assemblage.
''It seems to me" said Gen. Shafter,
that great many persons have an
erroneous idea respecting our relations
with the Cubans. AS l view it, we
have taken Spain's war upon ourselves.
We shall in all probability hear good
deal more of the insurgents. ;"
"How about lf-government for the
Cubans?" General Shafter was asked.
Self-government'?' the general re-
peated. "Why. those people are no
more fit for self-government than gun
powder is for hell"
In the same line General Shafter
went on to tell why the United States,
In his opinion, would be obliged to
remain in the island for some time and
govern the territory by military force.

Congress WIN Make Final Disposition of the
Treaty at This Session.
Washington, Dec. 19.-It is hoped
that the treaty will be be taken up for
discussion early in January Already
there is talk Of the probability of dis
posing OF the treaty during the pres
ent session, and the impression favor
able to the result is growing. A few
senators manifest disposition to de-
bate the treaty at length, an d some
profess upalterable opposition, but the
feeling is so strong against an extra
session, and in favor of the postpone
ment OF the settlement of the DISPOSE
ton OF the Philippines after they come
into our possession, that it now seems
that even the minority will consent to
the treaty's ratification without ma
terial delay.

nobody wants to hear me play twicel"
answers Shell. In tone OF friendly
warning.
'Will you let me hear you play
oncel" asks Ted eagerly.
"Oh, certainly. II you wish; only
won't 1t be rather cruel infection for
everybody else?" says Shell naively.
mo. am sure 1t won't" answers her
companion. In a voice OF such utter
confidence that Fuckers OF amusement
gather around Shells lips after the
most wicked fashion.
Great is Ruby's CONSERVATION and
annoyance when she leaves the plano
to see Shell down on her knees beside
the music-stand, turning over the loose
music In the drawer.
Surely you are not going to play?"
she exclaims, in tone of mingled dis
approval and annoyance, for Ruby's
music is her one strong point, and she
hates to be cast into the shade by her
younger sister. AS rule. Shell is wont
to hide her light under = bushel. and
she should depart from her usual
course on the present occasion.
"Oh, yes. am going to play-I have
been asked" responds Shell innocent
ly.
With a shrug OF her shoulders Ruby
passes on, whilst Shell. selecting from
the long disused contents Of the drawer
a dreary sing-song air, sits down at
the piano and commences to wade Ia
borIously and in very mechanical
way through it's twelve variations. 1t
is a piece that requires practice and
very quick playing to render 1t even
bearable-as Shell had never had pa
thence to road 1t quite through until
this evening her performance Is any
thing but brilliant one.

CHAPTER III.

Edward Champley, who has taken
up his stand beside the piano in ex'
pectation Of a musical treat, does his
best to look cheerful under the infiic-
ton; but his most determined efforts
at politeness cannot prevent faint
CLEAN OF hope stealing into his eyes
at the end Of each variation. Even
once he ventures on a rapturous
"Thanks"-it Is when, to his horror,
\ he sees a minor key arrangement Of
the air looming up before him; but
She'll only glances up for q moment,
and says quietly
"Oh, l haven't half finished yeti"
Whereupon her victim offers an apol-
ogy and smiles a slokly smile, as he
vainly tries to count how many moro
pages there are to get through.
And. whilst Edward is enduring his
self-infiicted martyrdom at one end of
the room, his brother Robert Is being
nattered. petted and a little bit Leo
tured at the other end by Ruby.
1T was really too bad of you to stop
away from Champley House so long!"
she says reproachfully.
Robert Champley looks at her for q
few moments before making any an
swer. Unfortunately for Ruby'a
scheme, he Is man who generally
stops to think before he speaks, even
on trivial subjects.
II shouldn't have come back now
If it hadn't been for the children" he
co To- OF nj oil oh
Ruby catches the echo OF that sigh
and is all sympathy.
mo one knows better than I how
very painful your return home must
have been to yos," she remarks, In q
low and almost faltering tone. whilst
her white eyelids veil her eyes In
seemingly sad retrospect.
Again he looks at her; then some
what coldly rives utterance to the ono
word, "Thanksl" as If she had made
him a speech which, though distaste-
full. must be responded to in some way
or other.
II hope you found the dear children
all that you pictured them?" pursues
Ruby softly.
"Yes-oh. yes; they are merry little
crickets, and seem just about as happy
as the day is long!" answers Mr.. |
Champley. whilst softening smile re-
lakes his somewhat stern mouth.
1T Is terrible charge for you."
observes Ruby. her tone and looks
full OF the most profound pity.
How so?" asks her companion, in
evident surprise.
Ruby feels. somewhat taken aback.
ooh, II always seems to me such an
impossible thing for man to know
about children's wants or ways!" she
replies. with little head-shake
Robert Champley gives q slight
augh.
IL assure you, both Bob and Meg
have neither of them cny scruples
bout expressing their wants." he says
yaily; and. as you know. ! am very
ortunate in my old housekeeper. Mrs.
is a perfect mother to the
whole lot OF us. The babies have .

woman: 80 on the whole

II don't believe in any servants be-
ng treasures" remarks Ruby skepti-
ally; "and. besides. your children
must be too old now to be left entire

'hampley in pondc ring tone. That

Judge Morrow OF the United States
Circuit court. San Francisco. Cal, has
rendered a decision in the suit OF the
government against the Coal Dealers
association Of California, which de-
cIares the organization to be illegal and
in conflict with the federal law OF 1890,
known as the antitrust act. He finds
that the bylaws Of the trust are in
violation of the law preventing unIaw-
full combinations In restraint OF trade,
and also finds that the trust interferes
with interstate and foreign com
merea. Judge Morrow says: at APP
pears to me that the constitution and
bylaws OF the Coal Dealers associa-
ton come within the prohibitions of
the antitrust act and are therefore un-
lawful" In accordance with the deci-
sion the temporary Injunction will be
prepared by the United States District
attorney, and unless the case is carried
to the Supreme court the business Of
buying and selling coal I'm this city will
not be interfered with by any COM
bine. 1t is doubtful IL the trust will
appeal, as Judge Morrow's rulings were
against 1t on every point, and there is
small hope of victory to be gained by
prolonging the fight.
