AN AsToN,sheo EDITOR.

The most surprised man In Ponce after
the surrender WAS the publisher OF the
daily paper who was told by General
Wilson thst his presses and other prop
erty would not be confiscated. Out OF
pure gratitude he told the Americans he
would confine his news Of the day to
runaways, society and police court items,
and wouldn't say word about the capt
ure Of the city. When informed that be
could hustle out his reporters and write
up story Of the surrender II he felt SO
disposed, he almost dropped over In bis
psroxysm Of joy, and offered TO send
General Wilson the proofs Of the first
edition. "Damu it, man." General Will
son said, ~ don't want to see your proofs.
Go ahead and tell the story just ~ 1t Is.
We don't censor our newspapers, and
we believe Ia free press" This I'M
heard of liberty so completely upset the
editor that In the first edition he abused
the Spsniards 10 the purest Castilian,
and expressed his sympathy for the new
csuse.-Kansas City World.

HOW MEN FEEL NEAR DEATH.
GENERAL GREEDY TELLS or THE SEN
sArioN WITH MEN DROPPING DEAD
EACH DAY.

o "The new year Of 1884 was only nine
teen days old when death came for the
first time" writes General A. w. Greedy
In the October Ladies' Home Journal,
telling for the first time the awful ex-
periences Of his Arctic exploring party
ut Cape Sabine. "For ninety days we
had all lived and kept together. But
death WAS inevitable. It's coming was
sure to some, II not TO all; our only
wonder was Il had not come sooner.
Only the day before was our comrade st
work. We said little. Only one man 80
far forgot that he was n soldier rs to
mskc the fsintest sign. But the near
ness Of the end touched us all. Speech
became lower, actions gentler, determin-
ed faces grew softer, and Cancellation
was the spirit OF the hour. Who would

each face. Not man ventured to say
10 his fellow, This Is the end How
that eternal question, always SO unan-
swerable, seemed to be even more OF q
mystery to US. The Easter sun had
hardly set before the second fell before
Death. A day after, and the third sue
cumbed. Then the fourth. One by one
they were dropping at our side. The
fifth followed quickly to solve the
problem OF futurity. Then the sixth
comrsde passed. And now we felt that
we were sll awaiting the summons one
by one. We scarcely looked at each
other. Doubt and wretchedness were
allied against US. But the fortunes Of
war sometimes change at the most criti-
cal moment. Strive and do, do and
strive until death, were the notices Of
our hunters, and one day nearly five
hundred pounds OF bear and seal meat
came, just a. all food had almost failed
Oh, the joy which that meat brought to
Us. Who can tell but those 10 that hut !!

CUTTING SUGAR CAhk WITH AAChEIEsA
Many Of the best sugar plantations In
Cuba can show 81, 900, 900 invested in
machinery and iron buildings, and q
few can claim 81. 800, 600 so invested.
Most Of the important central" fac
tories represent about IS, 600. 900 invest
ment, These "centrals" turn out from
500 to 600 bags Of sugar per day Of 100
days working time at the low price OF
81 bag. or value ON the crop OF from
1850, 900 to $3.50, 900.
Most sugar houses have switch
from the main line Of railroad into the
building, 80 that the handling Of sugar
can be facilitated. This is now neces-
sary, rs many Of the plantations in peace
time handle 100 tons Of sugar day.
There are, or were recently. in the
three principal districts OF Cuba 367
factories for the manufacture OF sugar.
OF this number there were In the west
district 1875, in the center l40 and in
the east district 80 factories. These fac
tories produced crop q few years ago
Of 1000. 900 tons per year. A number
Of years back 1900 ton plant was con-
sidered large one, but for some time
before the commencement Of the insur-
tection the small plants stopped grind
ing and sold the cane to the large fac
tories.
In some jurisdictions in Cuba there
Is contention between various planters
regarding the utility Of the apparatus
on their plantations, according rs 1t
may be European or American. but al
most invariably the cost Of producing o
ton Of sugar by American built ma
chinery is less than by any others In

EXCITING CAMEL TRAINING.
THE ANIMAL OF THE DESERT HAS
MORE VICES THAN A MULE.

An officer who has been residing some
time In Egypt, where camel riding has
been obligatory, sends the following
graphic description OF his experiences
With that amiable and useful animal :
"You can well imagine that there's .
circus around here while the usual riding
instruction 10 going on. When the IN
tanned camels first arrived ut our camp
heard tremendous growing 10 front OF
the door, and on going out l saw one OF
these amiable beasts being led by his

expression Of disgust both In his c0un-

beasts forelegs together, when 1t reared,
and, striking out with its forefeet, land

himself out Of the ditch with q hand on
each bruised part, and the camel, which
had never ceased roaring, was taken 10
charge by two other and more robust
natives and led TO the tents, or rather In

Similar exhibitions are being conducted
here daily, and We are now ready to lead

three or four days they become tract

camel some years ago when rode across
the Arabian deserts, and see no reason
to alter II In any way. The creature has
so many talents and so many ways OF
exhibiting them. And, to begin with, 1t
can kick harder, higher, swlfter and
oftener than mule, and can use all four
feet ut one time In kicking match.
Then It can bite worse than vicious
horse, and buck In = way to make 4

rider ever lived who can stay on that

Then he can run away when he feels

slope. Upon an occasion OF this kind
the rider experiences sensation between
