PUERTO R1CAN EXPEDITION.

Having started the Santiago expedi-
ton, the war department has now con-
centrated all its energies on the prep
aration of the force to be sent to Puer-
to Rico. Active movements in that
line have been made on a scale so eX-
tensive as to lead to the suppositon in
some quarters that the attack is to be
directed upon Havana, but if this is so,
there is no open indication of it. The
volunteers collected at Chattanooga,
AZ GOO in number, are reaching a degree
of excellence, under the magnificent
management of General Brooke, that
would warrant the government in or
dering them Immediately into service,
but, unfortunately, there is still con-
siderable lack of equipment that will
not permit this.

IGNORANCE AT WASHINGTON.
Official Statements Concerning De-

parture Not Based Upon Facts.
Washington, June 14-Official infor-
Il alton has reached Washington to the
effect that the fleet of transports with
troops for Santiago, which was sup
posed to have left yesterday for Cuba,
had not sailed up to an early hour this
morning No reason has been stated,
so far as it has been learned, for this
very unexpected delay in the movement
against Santiago The officials posi-
lively decline to discuss the matter, but
clearly show by their manner that the
news is most unwelcome.
Later advices received during the
afternoon show that a start was act
sually made yesterday, but that the
movement dragged, and that many or
the ships Gid not move until some time
this forenoon. It is supposed that all
the vessels are now fairly under way.
Without reference to the exact hour
at which the United States army left
Florida for Cuba, it may be safely said
that before the end of the week General
Shafter will have landed with his 1o,Oo0
United States troops on Cuban soil, and
that the investment of Santiago by
land will have begun. There was some
confusion on the official mind here to-
day on the time of the departure OIL the
transports, though assurance was given
that they had all gotten away. The
confusion on this point is easily ac-
counted for by persons who know any
thing of the difficulties of moving SIM
ultaneously a numerous fleet composed
of vessels of all sizes and classes.
No less than three times, beginning
Sunday, was a definite hour selected
for the start, and the war department
so notified. Yet in each case some I'M
told obstacle was encountered that re-
quired notification to the department
that postponement had been forced.
Sailors say such delays are inevitable,
and that rarely does a fleet get off by
first intention. However, the depart
ment officials stated this afternoon that
they believed the very last OF the
transports had at last started for cuba.
After all, the delay of a day or two in
the start is not calculated to make any
material difference in the plans, ard
the only persons who will suffer fro; it
will be Simpsons marines, camped on
the tropical bay of Guantanamo, and
obliged to maintain the greatest Vlg1-
lance in repelling the bushwhacking

have sunk their all in a "dry hole" ID
big one No mining camp ever fur
nished wilder scenes than did Pithole,
Red Hot or some of the other oil towns
during the boom times.
The birthday Of the oil industry is
definitely fixed as Saturday, Aug, 2S.
1859, for it was on that day that Colo
mel f. l.. Drake Struck oil" on the
Willard farm, two miles south of Titus
vile. He was the first man to drill for
oil. Petroleum had already been secured
from salt wells, hut it was regarded as
a nuisance. Small quantities of it were
bottled, however, and on the label was
shown picture Of a derrick. George H.
Bissell, New York lawyer saw this
label, and it suggested an idea to him.
why rot bore for oil: In 1854 the Penn.
sylvania Rock Oil company was formed,
but it was i'll May, 1858, before Drake,
who had been engaged to sink the well,
went to Iitusville and began operations.
He had 81, 900 with which to begin op.
erations, and his salary was to be a like
amount. In order to give him stand
ing in the community his letters were
addressed Colonel Drake by his busi-
ness associates, and thus be won the
title, which he was never able to get
rid Off
And he needed something to increase
respect for him among his new neigh
bors, for they looked upon him as Il yer.
liable crank. His enterprise was ridi-
culed throughout, the country, for such
a thing as boring for oil had never be-
fore been heard Of But after many vex-
atious delays the Drake well was finally
sunk, and at the depth Of about 10 feet
the oil appeared. 1t did not come rush
ing up as it did in the deeper wells
which were sunk later, but rose to with
i'll few feet If the surface and was
then pumped out. The w,ll produced
from % to 30 barrels Il day and was the
wonder Of the section. There were not
enough barrels to store the product, for
tanks had not bp,n heard Of at that

first lamps were made of tin and had
round wick, such as had been used in
burning sperm oil, but these were found
to he dangerous, and Colonel Drake had
glass lamps sent from Pittsburg. The
refined oil sold for $l.2 gallon; SO
that the Drake well was seen to be q
highly profitable enterprise.
1t was not long before .Titusville was
the center Of the first "oil rush. Men
who had laughed at Drake were now
frantically sinking wells on their own
Farms were leased right and

at all about drills or drilling was hired
at fancy prices. The first wells were

passed over the well about 10 feet above
it. The boring tools were fastened to
this pole, and two men, throwing their

1t was not until June, 1861, that the
first flowing oil well was struck Thi,
marked il new era in oil development,
for it was the first well drilled to the

ever after and found only at Il depth Of
several hundred or u thousand feet

its cruder aspects came and CamEed at

But these are stories which have been
told many times, with greater or less re-
gard for truth, until we who did not see
these things with our own eyes have
ended by accepting none at all unless Oh
the best of authority. Next to the pro
duction of crude oil the development of
the transportation business is the most
interesting feature about the industry.
After the oil is brought to the surface
it must be stored, transported and re-
fined At first the crude oil was put in
barrels, hauled by wagon to the nearest
river and tloated down to Pittsburg or
Oil City on bargcs or RATS. In winter
it was hauled overland all the way.
This was an expensive and tedious proc
ess and the problem was Il serious one
until the pipe line system was perfected.
The man who laid the first pipe line,
however, was ruined, both physically
and financially, by the project, His
idea was good, but he did not carry it
out well. Others did, though, and now
there are 80, 600 miles Of pipe line in
the United States, the longest sections

great that we only realize that they rep.

definite comprehension.
Prior to 1860 petroleum was looked
upon merely as curious natural prod
uct, valuable mainly for its medicinal
qualities. Today, in spite Of the devel-
opment of gas and electric light, it is
the illuminant of the people and lights
the homes of nine-tenths of the civilized
world. 1t was first made an article of
commerce by the Seneca Indians, and
for years went by the name of Seneca
oil, or American oil. As such it was
used as healing salve and was some
times taken internally as a cure for
colds and consumption. The Indians
took it into the towns and villages in
gourds and rude casks made Of hollow
logs They procured it by skimming it
from the surface of creeks.
Today it is used in the manufacture
of l50 articles of value in art, science,

Looking at the industry from finan
cial standpoint, the discovery of petro-
leum was almost as valuable as the gold
strike in California. For this product
the rest of the world pays us an annual
tribute Of $50, 900, 900, which represents
the amount of oil exported each year.
The price Of petroleum has Huctuated
from Sl9.25 per barrel, which was the
gilt edged figure brought in 1860, to 10
cents per barrel, tho rock bottom price

national wealth has been rather widely
distributed, and it is only within recent
years that monster combination has
been able to absorb lions share of the
