Rate CUTTING punished.

The management of the Texas and
Pacific railway, says q special from
Dallas, has requested the designations
of Harry j. Hatch, city passenger and
ticket agent at Dallas, and his asis-
tant, Alfred S. Wagner. Several
weeks ago Mr.. Wagner, acting, SO be
claims, under Hatch's instructions, cut
the rate on q ticket to st. Louis. News
of this violation of the rules of the
Southwestern Passenger Bureau reach
ed the ears of Chairman Pratt, who
insisted on the dismissal of Hatch and
Wagner. Their designations become
effective September Is. This is the
first instance of the kind reported in
the state, and is taken as an indication
that the Texas lines are standing
squarely by the agreement they enter
ed into. Charles T. Gray, clerk in
the Office of General Manager L. s.
Thorne. of the Texas and Pacific, will
succeed MIR. Hatch.

LIFE IN HAVANA.

The little brig Amapala which
was captured by the blockading
gunboat Vicksburg while trying
to escape from Havana was unim-
portant as q prize and had on
board only some refugees. men,
women and children who had no
'great objection to being made pris-
oners of war so long as they were
out of Havana. The brig and her
passengers left because of the inn
pending famine and the story they
brought furnishes reliable infor-
nation of the conditions of life in
the blockaded city.
According to this news Havana
Is in a fair way to be starved into
submission. The delay made nee
essary in getting troops together
for the invasion of Cuba, of course,
proved a corresponding advantage
to the Spanish military authorities
who have had time to strengthen
notifications, throw up new works,
assemble the scattered forces and
organize aud drill new recruits.
But although the blockade has not
altogether prevented supplies from
reaching the city, the food condi-
tons there are very serious. The
soldiers are reported to be on half
rations, while the poor are left to
starve. This is the pitiful part of
the story FOR, of course, the govern
ment will feed the soldiers first.
The mass OF the citizens have moth
ing to eat but C and potltoes.
OF meat there is little and none at
all for the poor. A few weeks ago
the price reached 81 a pound. The
government then took control and
by an ordinance fixed the price a,
not more than IS cents. Tint price
ostensibly prevails today. but
meat cannot be bought at it. Al
butcher shops meat is not 0tain.

vEsuvIUs' TERRIBLE GUNS.
Dynamite Cruisers Operations Mt Santiago
Are Exciting General Interest.

Dynamite Cruisers Operations mt Santiago
Are Exciting General Interest.
Great interest is being manifested the
country oyer in the operations of the
dynamite cruiser Vesuvius in front OF
Santiago. The guns of the Vesuvius arc
bronze steel tubes Is feet long. not in
GLIDING tho breach opening and car
fridge chamber. The shell is Of highly
brittle cast steel, corrugated inside so
that it will break into pieces about 4 or
8 inches square and 31a inches thick.
This shell is the shape Of a rocket head
and is exploded by u percussion cap on
q printing tube fixed in the shells
point. 1t is guided by a steel rod Q feet
long. feathered like an arrows shaft
that it may fly comparatively true.
There are three Of these dynamite tubes
on the Vesuvius, all the same length
and 10, Ia and 10 inches in diameter.
Tho largest size ia the one used at San
tiago.
The chief difficulty in this weapons
case is that the guns are fixed and not
movable, and the boat must be brought
into a position where the artillery can
BIO used. The air in the 10 inch tube is
compressed, so that 15 feet of il is In a
three foot space. The breech of the gun
is then opened, the projectile inserted
and breech carefully locked. When all
is ready, the trigger is pulled, and with
q swish ending like the scream Of o fast
flying locomotive as it passes by the
shell sails into the air. It's extreme linn
it is q mile aud q half, though it will
shoot much farther for $50 pounds Of
dynamite, that amount of gun cotton
being considerably more powerful. The
range is regulated by the air pressure,
and this is found to be very reliable in
its practical working. The vesuvius can
be made very useful il she is SO anchor
ed MS to be steady. The $50 pound shell
has the power Of 1000 pounds of gun
powder. With the range determined,
the Vesuvius will settle the value Of tho
dynamite shell a. an implement of war.

A Letter Telling of Her Pride In Him.

This letter from the mother Of Lieu

Of tho Merrimac exploit, has been re-

the many demand Of q large household, II has

able in quantities of less than 100
pounds at this price. Only q few
can buy it, naturally. Potatoes
sell for from 20 to as cents a
pound. The stores are not allowed
TO sell more than one pound to any
one person. Pineapples are plenty.
Being unable to ship them, dealers
sell them at about a cent a piece.
There will doubtless be an APP
palling lot of suffering in Havana
before the city surrenders. But
with the release of a part OF our
ships from duty at Santiago, the
blockade will be strengthened and
the Spaniards will be starved out.
1t is a cruel sort of business. 1t
is not magnificent. But 1t is war.

How thu Descsndapts OF Spain TAkc the

Speaking Of the Spanish sentiment in
MEXICO, Mr.. ]. T. Flynn, a mining en-
gineer from the City of Mexico snys:
"The native Mexicans are sympathetic
with the United States. There is great
feeling exhibited in the war by all tho
nationalities. The government has given
strict orders to maintain q neutrality,
and it is done. The wealth is mostly
controlled by the Spanish. They have
sent much food, ostensibly to the recon
centrados, but in reality 1t goes to the
Spanish army in Cuba. Just tho other
day they loaded q Norwegian vessel
with n cargo for Cuba. These vessels
land their stuff at some port which Is
not under u strict blockade. They man
age to slip in a vast amount Of provi-
siols and money.
''In the City Of Mexico we have an
American club and a Spanish club.
Both organizations watch the progress
Of tho war closely. We get n dis
patches from the Associated Press, while
the Spaniards get their news from Mad
rid. They believe everything they get
over their wire, and it keeps them busy
hearing corrections and retractions. -

Further details of the first en-
gagement with the enemy by the
army of invasion emphasize the
splendid dash and bravery OF the
scouting party OF volunteers and
regulars, and command new adj
miration for their triumph in the
face of about the wickedest odds
that all American soldier has ever
faced.
The strategy and the marksman-
ship of the S~paniards seem to have
been equally good, although no
great skill was required, since ma
ture made the former easy and the
range Of the shooting al only
two or three hundred yards. The
c%avalrymen of the First Volunteers,
OF Rough Riders, a title that has
thus early won honor that will be
historic, and of the First and
Tenth regulars, walked into the
trap that the Spaniards had pre-
pared and against which it was
evidently, from the nature of the
country, about impossible to sure
ly guard. Had the Spanish SOL
diery been possessed of the mag
nifcent esprit that distinguished
our own boys, they had a good
chance to wipe out Wood and
Young's commands almost as
thoroughly as Custer was crushed
in the valley of the Little Big
Horn. Although the odds were
by no means so great, the Span
iards had the advantage of con-
cealment, of works, of well-placed
light artillery, as we'll as of num-
bers, and a long rest in wait,
while u boys were working up
the ragged road. AS it was,
Troop l., the advance of the
Rough Riders, was all but wiped
out before it could be relieved.
The tactics pursued by the des-
perately pressed marines at Guam
tanamo, the tactics that distin-
guish the good soldier as the sue
cessful man in every sphere of rro-
fessional and business life, saved
the day at La Quasina. Only
until the cavalrymen could recover
from the first surprise, did they
remain on the defensive. Then
they rushed the enemy straight
into the bush, straight up to his
works and batteries. Better men
than Spaniards have gone down
before such rushes. And from
what may be gathered from the
reports it appears that our casual
ties ended with the recovery and
the charge. 1t was splendid work,
of the kind that Dewey performed
at Manila, and Hobson at Santi-
ago and it meant victory, where
to falter and to back out meant
disaster. And yet with self preser-
walton proverbially the first law OF
nature, only the born fighter has
the nerve and courage to turn the
tables as did those cavalrymen at
La Quasina. At La Quasina
again the Spaniards have dis
covered that their only hope for
success against American troops
lies in overwhelming numbers.
II was only a skirmish, the affair
at La Quasina, but the record
there made Is imperishable in

II is not yet known precisely what

as great if, instead of sending at the en-
