Found Dead.

\ white tramp died near Dillon last
week. 1t seems that he was seen there
on Wednesday by the section foreman,
but thinking he was only waiting for 4

On Saturday it was discovered that he
was dead. and the coroner was at once
notified and repaired to the scene,
where jury was empancled. and upon
investigation it was decided that he
came to his death from natural causes.
There was on his person more than 4
dollar in cash and good revolver, but
no letter. card or token BY which to
identify him. And he lies buried in

Base Ingratitude.

The people ef this country will learn
with surprise and disgust that only one
newspaper in Venezuela favors the
United States against Spain. That one
paper is edited by an Englishman, a
man who comes from Il country against
which we took the part OF Venezuela
less than three years ago. The general
tenor OF the Venezuelan press is exem-
pliied in assertion OF the leading
newspaperof Caracas. that after this war
is over the naval policy of Washing
ton will be felt in It's utmost rigor in,
the whole OF Latin America, and es
pecially in those republics that coast
the Caribbean sea- The Americans,
are engaged in 4 war Of foreign cupidity
and We do not hesitate to declare that
ali our opinions, convictions and good
wishes are on the SIDE Of Spain. Was
there ever more disgracefuI exhibition
of national ingratituQe.

A STEAMER BURNED.
How the Eagle PluckiIy Destroyed
the Big Spanish.
A FINE AUXILIARY CRUISER.
Lost Vessel Carried Big Guns, but
Did Not Attempt to Use Them.
People Aboard Were All
Saved by River
Steamer.

The Spanish ns-Atlantic San Do
mingo, Of $500 tons, was totally des-
troyed by the little auxiliary gunboat
Eagle on July y, off Cape Francis.
This intelligence was brought to Key
West "Wednesday by the Nashville,
which came up after the attack and
found the Spanish ship burned and
smashed on the reefs.
The affair offers striking comment
airy on the difference between American
and Spanish spirit. The San Domingo
had two 5-inch guns mounted and
loaded, her magazines were open and it
only remained to train her guns and
fire them to blow the Eagle out of the
sea. But the latter, with her compare
lively feeble battery Of 6-pounders,
steamed to within two miles of the en-
emy and pounded shot after shot into
her until she turned and, in a desper-
ate attempt to get into the narrow
channel, grounded on the reef without
having tried to return the American
fire.
Seventy shots were fred by the Eagle
and nearly all took effect. When the
Spanish ship went ashore river stea-
mer came out and took off her officers
and crew. Then the Eagle sent crew
to board her, and there were shouts Of
surprise when the big guns were dis
cove. ed. She also carried in her hold
two l2-inch guns.
The cargo was largely Of grain and
food supplies. Fifty head Of cattle
were penned on the decks. She had
been drawing y feet Of water and went
aground in 20. The Eagles men deci-
ded that she was too far gone to be
foatcd and, after shooting the cattle,
they set fire to her and watched her
destruction.
The same steamer again ran out to
try to get off some Of the cargo, but
was batfied by the flames The San
Domingo burned for three days and
was left charred and mishappen
wreck She was one OF the best stea-
mers Of the enemy and had been used
as an auxiliary cruiser.
According to the San Domingos pa
pers she was bound from Vera Cruz:
Mexico, for New York via Savannah,
but of course being regular Spanish
liner, the meation Of New York in her
manifest IS a palpable sufterfuge: the
Intention having been to gain some
Cuban port and to put the guns and
provisions in the hands Of the beleau-
guered Spaniards. With the Montevi-
deo she slipped out of Habana harSor
and got away about month ago when
the blockade had been weakened by
utilizing the ships of the station as
conveys for troopships to Santiago.
Notice to watch for her had been sent
to all ships Of the squadron and no yes
sci could have escaped the fate which
bcfelI her.

Died for His Gold.

When Yousouf. The Terrible Turk,
was drowned in the wreck Of La Bour-
gogne, he had strapped about his waist
a belt containing $4,000 i'll gold coin.
Iousouf was slave TO money: and 1t
was this vice that cost him his life. He
was strong swimmer, and without the
handicap of forty pounds of gold to
weight him down could have rca4lIy es-
capped from the wreck But he was
afraid somebody would rob him OF some
OF the wealth he had earned by defeat
ing American wrestlcrS, anot insisted
upon carrying it abou, with him day
and night.

Garcia is Mad.

General Garci; has written 4 letter
to General Shaftcr in which he de-
clarcs that he is disgusted At his treat
mcnt at the hands Of the Americans
and will consequently Withdraw his
own forces to the hills. being no longer
willing to submit to the indignities to
which he has been subjected. Among
other things, Gen. Garcia complains of
is the failure Of the American com
mandcr TO officially notify him of the
surrender of the Spanish forces under
General Toral He is also incensed at
the fact that he was not invited to be
present ut the ceremony attending the
formal capitulation of Santiago. An
other grievance is the action Of Gen.
Shafter in retaining the Spanish civil
authorities in the administration OF
Santiago. For these reasons he declares
he will no longer cooperate with the
American forces. but will act indie
pcndcntly as he did before the Ameri-
can troops landed in Cuba.

The most curious incident which CO.
Cured during the battle of Manila, ac-

taken by the shell which struck the

"The Baltimore was struck five times

with one exception, exploded or broke

TOWN OF GUANTANAMO.
"A Charming Little City. Once the Resi-
dence OF Aristocratic Planters.

dence OF Aristocratio Planters.
The town of Guantanamo is one Of
tho most charming little cities in Cuba.
The coast country particularly is noted
for its beautiful groves of lime and lem
on trees. The heights were once the
favorite place for the residences of aris-
tocratic sugar and coffee planters from
the middle and eastern regions, where
all the wealthiest sugar estates are stu
ated. 1t was Cuban Newport or Bar
Harbor. The capetals or coffee planta-
tions of Cuba-and there are many of
them-are all located in the hills look
ing down upon the placid waters of
Guantanamo bay. Coffee bushes are
planted in the shade of other and larger
trees and the lemon and lime trees
grow 20 or 30 feet high, thus furnish
ing the perfect shade the coffee bush
needs, and are beautifully ornamental
trees, besides producing great quantities
of the finest fruit, which has CONNER
cialyalue per acre far exceeding oranges.

sugar refining firm of II. L. 81 William
! II. Stewart of New York, the owner of
the sugar plantation La Carolina, the
finest place on the southern side Of the
island except Don Tomas Terry's estate,

from the seaside to his residence nearly
mile in length, laid down in shells
and shaded ON either side by a growth
