American Engineer Says 1t In FIJI.
ed With Torpedoes.
Chicago. ILL.,, May 2s.-Charles D. Smith,
a resident of Daiquiri. near Santiago de
Cuba. for six years. has just arrived In
chicago. He brings valuable informa-
tfon as to the mines in and around San
tiago Bay. He likewise tells of painful
"reminiscences of Spanish atrocities. He
says:
Fol the last six months of my stay we
were almost starved. We were also COM
PEELED to stand by unprotestinS while the
innocent were ruthlessly butchered. One
morning, close to my house. two poor,
starving men attempted to steal into the
country and get a cocoanut. They were
overtaken by the Spanish soldiers. who
cut their throats and left their bodies Iy-
ing in the road.
Shortly after this Spanish soldier
was found who had evidently been killed
by an insurgent bullet. Enraged because
they could not catch the cuIprit, the
Spanish officers ordered the arrest of
thirteen of the sons of the well-to-do
planters in the neighborhood. and had
them bound in such a manner that six
OF them were made helpless cripples for
life. The others were made to stand
facing their homes and shot g death.
Mr.. Ferrer. the Spanish manager Of
the mines at which l was employed as
engineer. took the American boat Colon
about April 10. stating that he had au-
thority from the company, and the army
engineers laid mines in the harbor of
Santiago Bay and all up and down the
coast outside. l am certain that the larg-
er American warships cannot pass into
Santiago Bay. owing TO the winding en-
trance, which will not allow a long boat
to go through.
If the Spanish boats are in there they
will never get out, for only one can have
exit at time, and the channel at the
mouth is SO tortuous that 1t requires Q
great while to navigate a single boat

GLEN EcHo's OPENING.
The Beautiful River Resorts Sea-
SON Begins Tonight.

The Beautiful River Resorts Sea-
SON Begins Tonight.
All day yesterday and the greater part Of last
night double force was kept at work preparing
Glen Echo, the beautiful river resort, situated
above Little Falls, for its opening tonight. As a
result, order has suddenly taken the place of
chaos and the thousands of dollars spent on the
place begin to show some tangible outcome. The
vast estate with its acres Of shade trees and miles
OF concrete walks, has taken to itself new
beauty with careful handling, and the park will
be decidedly "a thing of beauty and Joy for
ever'' this Summer.
Novelties in the form of unique amusements
are rapidly being completed. A village especially
constructed for the little ones has involved the
expenditure Of considerable sum of money
and will shortly be ready for the children. With
in its wide confines will be practically un-
limited number of swings. see-saws and other toys
Of the sort, while mammoth merry -go-round
will be unusually liberal plan in one
corner of the place. A large force of men is still
at work upon the grottos. situated under the
big amphitheater. These are being fitted out
with dozens of unique features, artificial scenery
and such necessary luxuries benches and settees
In FIVE of these nooks will run streams of water
lending charm and cooness to the delightful rest
ing places.
An electric theater will be another one of the
many novelties to be operated this Summer at the
Glen, while new lecture hall will admit CT stere
opticon views, being given Of current events,
with a musical or vocal accompaniment. On
hill overlooking the park has been built an excel
lent representation of an old German castle, in
which a number OF amuscments not yet an
nounced will be situated. Gypsy fortune tellers
and illusionists will also hold forth here, while
small dance hall has been placed in the center
Of the structure.
But the event Of tonight will be the first per-
formance Of "The Mikado" by the Parry Opera
Company. This will be given in the amphi-
theater. which has been beautifully fitted up for
the occasion. The stage has been enlarged and
hanked with dressing rooms. while behind the
big proscenium arch. Just finished, will be
twelve elaborate sets of scenery. Electric and
musical effects will so assist the rendering given
Gilbert Sullivan's nasterwork that its pre-
sentation should rank with the best ever seen
here. Airline Crater and fifty people will be seen
in the production, the rehearsals Of which have
been under the personal supervision of William
Parry. stage manager Of the Metropolitan OSera
House in New York. Everything that cou;4 be
done for the comfort Of the patrons has been
done. and the thousands Of people expected to-
night cannot but be satisfied with the arrange
ments made to receive them.

A FIGHTING LANDLORD.
He Is Charged With Assault on a
Tenant.


Tenant.
Frank Williams, who said he lived in L
street, near Fourth. northwest, came into
No. Precinct Station about $50 o'clock
last evening.
He demanded that a man known as
'.Jocko" Brown, who is his landlord, be
arrested, charging him with assault. He
was told to get out a warrant for the ar
rest of Brown. and he left the station
house, vowing that he would be avenged.
According to his story, he owed Brown
Sis back rent, and he had promised to
pay up tonight. when he got his
money for his weeks work. Brown in
sisted that he should pay him at once.
and when Williams began to make n de-
monstration of the futility of such an at
tempt on his part, Brown started in to
show him that figures had no attraction
for him.
After few minutes Williams dragged
himself out from under his landlord and
hied to the police station, where he pre-
sented what truly was a doleful sight.
He will remove from his present quarters.

Supposed torpedo Found.

New York. May 2s.-Admiral Erben was
notified yesterday that a queer contriv-
nnce. supposed to be torpedo or Internal
machine, had been found on Lawrence
Beach, L. l.. by the men of the Rockaway
Beach Life Saving Station. 1t was de-
scribed as cylinder of half-inch iron.
seven feet long by a foot in diameter.
with concave ends, in the center of which
were holes filed with wooden plugs,
through which ran wires, supposed
to he fuses. On the side of the cylinder
were the words, in white paint, "a la
Espanola."
Major Adams, in charge of the mine
fields. said that the thing was certainly
not one of his mines or torpedoes. He was
disposed to think that it bore suspicious
resemblance to an ordinary kitchen boil
er, placed on the beach by some practical
Joker.

From the Florida IimeS-Unl0n.)
Some of our contemporaries are declar-
ing that 1.-THE South is glad Of an opportu-
nifty to prove its loyalty and that
Southern youth are rushing to the front
to atone for the mistakes of their faith
ers."
Men and brethren. this is not true. The
South does not believe that its loyalty
needs proof. and Its youth is making no
holiday demonstrations. The South abides
by the pledge of Robert E. Lee, and has
never faltered in its faith-it never will.
Grant accepted that pledge when 1t was
given. and for those who yet ask proof
of her good faith the South cares moth
ing-neither for their good opinion nor
yet their base suspicious.
The South seeks now to serve the
country-it is her duty; to go to the front,
and she goes. AT bottom 1t is the same
feeling that sent her TO the front in 81.
and the flag is but an emblem whose
value depends on the faith OF those be-
fore whose eyes IT floats. Had the South
been untrue to her sense OF duty in 81
It is because we know, what she has been
that ye value what she Is.
81 had not loved you, dear, so much,
Loved not honor more
The South Is trying to correct none of
the mistakes Of her sons who have given
her deathless devotion and constant love.
She hopes that her children today would
have done as their fathers did In 81; she
knows that those fathers approve Of what
their children are doing today Then
the South stood alone, and men died for
her-today the South Is a, great nation.
with flag that covers a just cause,
continental policy. a worldwide princi-
pie: and at her call all who are men meet
death willingly and serve her gladly. In
peace she Is our mother; in war we are
her sons.
Bethink We, all who sneer. that you do
not disturb the graves of the dead nor
the hearts of the living. Each word of
such meaning Is but proof, strong as holy
writ. that the speaker Is unworthy to
strike blow for his country, to save the
oppressed or to avenge the Maine. The
South is doing her duty now, as always.
and Washington was an Offering ON the
altar Of his country no more worthy. no
more sacred, than Robert E. Lee. Let
the small and the bitter speak on-the
South Is constant to her duty. and In that
holiness abides whether she fences her
fields with the breasts Of her sons or
stands between the spoiler and the spoil
on the fields Of Cuba, or rides the waves
with Dewey and Sampson and schiey.
