How The Letter Causing De
Lome's Downfall Was
Stolen.
A SPANIA CALAMITY
FLIRTED WITH \ WOMAN
HIRED TO ENSNARE HIM.
THE LETTER NEVER REACHED CANAlJAS
TWAS Stolen by Cuban Spy Who Waited
Upon De LONE and by him Was
turned Over TO the junta.

Chicago. Ills, Dee. 10.-The Journal
to-day prints an interview with Senior
Carlos Quesada Socarras. cousin Of
Secretary Quesada, of the Cuban Jhnta,
and son of General Quesada y ASuiar.
who commanded part of the Cuban
forces during the Ten Years War for
independence. According to the inter
view Senior Quesada claims hat the IA
nous "DeLome letter." written by the
Spanish Minister, ridiculing President
Mex nley. was stolen in the United
States, and not in Havana. Quesada,
who fought under all of lie prominent
Cuban leaders, and who was present at
the death of General Macco, says that
De Lome's gallantry led to his downfall;
that woman in the employ of the
Junta learned many of the Spanish
Minister'S secrets.
There were many parties to the con
spiracy which resulted in the theft Of the
De LONE letter." he said. 1.-THE Junta
had worked trusted agents into the en-
ploy of the Spanish Legation. Those
clerks kept us posted on all matters
which they could. but that was not
enough So it was arranged that a wO-
man was to start up a Irritation with
Senior De LONE and endeavOr to gam
his confidence. The woman selected to
ensnare De Lone is now in New York.
De LONE confided many things to her
which he should not.
"Whcn Canalejas came to this country
he was watched every minute. Through
the influence of friends the Junta man
aged to get a Cuban rs a waiter in the
hotel where he was stopping. lie was
supposed to be Venezuelan. As he
spoke Spanish he was naturally assign
ed to wait upon De LONE.
when the Spanish Minister wrote
that letter the Junta was promptly in
formed that a letter. contents unknown
had been written to Canalejas. The let
ter reached its destination at the hotel
but it never got to Canalejas.
"The Venezuelan waiter took 1T out
Of the package of letters and turned It
over to the Junta.
1.-THE Junta sold that letter to New
York paper. 1t was turned over on the
condition. however, that it should be
supposed to have been stolen in Havana
so as to avoid any trouble with the
postal authorities. Secretary of State
Day saw it before it was published"
About the time of the De LONE incl
dent Carlos de Quesada was in Wash
ington in the interest of the Junta and
passing as a Venezuelan.

THE ROUGH RIDERS.

The mastering out of the First Unit ed States cavalry (volunteers) univer- sally and affectionately known as
 Rooseyelt's Rough Riders, will end the
 history Of one of the liveliest bodies
 Of fighting men ever collected The regiment was made up Of all sorts and conditions Of men, but was one in a common love of adventure, in a cer- tain recElessness born Of high spirits, the habit of physical exercise and de- light in life in the open air. The so- cial contrasts in 1t have been excessive ly dwelt upon. Between the cowboys of the west and south and the athletic
 men Of leisure Of the east there has long been a sort of freeTnasOnry. Tn the best days of ,eowpunching the clubs and
 colleges of the east were well repre-
 scented in that inspiriting profession
 The freedom and exercise and taste Of hardship it afforded were attractive to men reared luxuriously but having strong iii their blood the temper of ac-
 ton.
 The customers of this sort were wor- thy comrades of the tough and wiry citizens from the west who were the
 framework Of the regiment. The ten
 derfoot is often giDed by these roliick-
 ing scourers of the plains, but he gen orally has to confess to an admiration fer them, although they are sometimes absurd and occasionally, as young bar barians all at play, they make hui sances Of themselves. Their health is
 too good to permit them to enjoy a tame existence. They are always look
 ing for exercise and sometimes for trouble.
 Composed of many elements, this regiment, carefully trained by Wood and Roosevelt, retained the character istics Of it's principal element, tremen- dous energy and delight in danger. The men showed them ia Cuba, cavaliers
 without horses but not without glory.
 The fatalistic unconsciousness or
 sighting of death in the pursuit of what they set out to do, feeling which, to our mind, is more common among Americans than among any other people, seems to have been strong among the Rough Riders. Like
 Mir. Kipling's American, they are ready
 ITO grasp the iron hand Of Fate, Or shake with Destiny for beers.' They have been praised too much
 perhaps, and ought to sacrifice to ! 1NeiA6SlS- tN6y IiGy Hot oe peItSf than many other regiments, but then they are mighty good. And it has i been their good fortune to appeal to lne artist, to stir the imagination by
 brilliant qualities and theatrical prop
 critics, if you will. The blood moro
 stirs at Father Dumas than at Anthony
 Trollope.
 Well, these fellows Of Roosevelt $
 have the essential military virtues as
 well as certain Unessential but interest
 ing exterior ana interior peculiarities. They have fought well and done well and We wish them success and honor

A distinguished musician was waited upon one day in his study by rather seedy-looking stranger, who said to him, with what seemed to be genuine emotion:

You can com Tnand s1o lesson, or as much mere as you choose to ask, while l think myself fortunate if I can get a pupil now and then at a half-dollar sitting" My friend" said the other, touched by lis appeal, perhaps ! can help you better than by lending you money What is your branch of nlusic2' "I give lessons on the violin" well.

A WORLD EVENT.

Sir Herbert Kitchener's victory over the dervishes at Omdurman is suscepti- bic Of some vital interpretations. It is, Of course, the end of q campaign com parable in military science, though not in magnitude, to Molthe's inexorable closing in upon Sedan; it completes the recC1quest Of the Soudan for Egypt, and avenges Gordon Again, t is a victory which Cp5ns up before the pos sibili.ies of British policy in Africa an extension Of the line of conquest farther south; the occupation Of Khar- toum gives 6 new vantage ground in strong connection with the base Of supplies. But it is also enc of those epochal victories which challenge the historic sense to an estimate O. it's place and perspective among the dscis- i've events of the world. IL is not only the end of Mahdisna; it is also the end Of MOhammedanlsm viewed in the only light which adequately reveals and de fines it, namely, that Of an aggressive military propaganda.
 Henceforth there will be no possibil-
 
 compacting into a military engine cf fanaticism that series Of Moslem popu- latiors beginning on the Eosphorus and extending across northern Africa through Syria and further eastward until it forms part Of the subject races Of India. The central portion Of this series has been destroyed. and with 1t falls the historic force C. Islam. The tractless waste of the SCadaD are the clly regions where that force could have marked cat for itself any plan Of independent operations; there was room for initiative, because of compar- ative freedom from British rule on the cre hand and the traditional web of European diplomacy on the other h short, Mohammedanism has bssn crushed on it's best vansage ground, and not far from it's original home
 From the military point Of view there is nothing new or especially note worthy in the result Fanaticism could rot withstand tIl1 machine gun, nor could the bravery of fatalistic recklessness oppose the mathematics of war. But none the less is there pro- found cause for congratulation when we think Cf how 9 more intelligent Or gGniZs ion, CT a little deeper insigni into European military methods and aTmanlents, could have reinforced the immense energy which has So ofteI. triunlphed in past times, and under conditions more nearly equal. The blow came at a time when the sOli- darity of Islam had begun to revive the menace which is doctrine of tie followers Of the prophet. The late re- volt in northern India was an instance Of it's power, for it was the religious cry which gave force to the struggle for Independence. Even in India to- day, it is the fear of this cry that has compelled moderation and changed the plans of dealing with MOhanmeda1 Hindus for their own betternelt. h more than one sense Sir Herbert kitchener's victory is reassur!ng to British interests in their largest TelE- iicns, but n this especially, that t has

GOOD TIMES ARE HERE.

Bishop Potter of New York express ed the opinion few days ago that this country has seen it's best times as far as business prosperity aad the rapid accumulation of wealth are con- cerned. "The twenty years between 1873 and 1S93," he said, "were the most prosperous ever known in Amer ica. It can be shown by long series of deductions that such a period will never return"
 This is not the opinion of ex-May- or William L. Strong of New York merchant. He expects just as bust ling times as the times between 1873 and 1893-and brisker times. "Put me down." he says, "as one who be- lieves that we shall advance, aud that the country, great as it is in ohr day,

ARIZONA TO THE FRONT.

The eighth annual report of the state commissioner in lunacy, just is- sued by the state printers, is devoted largely to statistical reports from the state hospital for the insane, from which it appears that teh number of inmates who recover varies consid- erably from year to year and from hospital to hospital.
 Buffalo hospital shows decline from 23.49 per cent in 1889 to 1116 in 1896. Even at that, it heads the list. In the Utica state hospital the per centage has steadily fallen for the past nine years from 1858 to 7.76. At the Willard hospital, which has double the number of patients that Utica has, the percentage of recovery was but 3.6 for the last year, and that is higher than ever before recorded there. The percentage of recoveries at the Hudson river state hospital is surprisingly low only .08. The iMiddletoWn homeo- pathic shows recovery percentage of S.66, the lowest, with one exception, in nine years. At the Binghampton hos pital only .O4 per cent of the inmates recovered during 1896, but that is more than ever reported before. St. Law renee hospital shows a recovery per centage of GA Rochester is close tc Utica with 7.S.
 We clip the above from the Ma tiona1 Hospital and Sanitarium Record published at Detroit The Record is g
 standard authority on mental an6
 nervous diseases. It will be seen by | the excerpt that the treatment of these diseases in the great state of New York is far inferior to that in Ari. zona, for according to the report ot the superintendent of the Arizona hos. pital for the insane under the Frank.
 lin administration the number cured was seventy-nine per cent. It is in
 deed strange that the empire state | in fact all the states where science is supposed to occupy the most advanced | position, should be so far behind Ari-
 zona-a territory that some of tht | gentlemen in congress do not think i:
 entitled to statehood. But as a mat ter of fact Arizona, in the care of the | insane under the management referred l to, was far in advance of any state ol i territory. That seventy-nine per cen will be a hard nut for the New Yorl | insanity experts to crack.

One of the many things the better class of citizens in New York have to regret-and indeed all classes of citi- zens, for that matter-is the retire ment of Col. Waring from the street cleaning department. He has been such a conspicuous success in the of flee of commissioner that it is a pity Tammany didn't see it's way clear te retain him. McCartnsy, the new com. missioner, has the job of his life or his hands if the service is not to de teriorate. Col.

The list of persons of more or less eminence who died during the year 1897 is On the whole a rather remark able one. Among the names of schol- ars we find those of Francis A. Walk er, Henry Drummond and Henry Dresler. Literature has lost Daudet, Mrs. Oliphant, Henri Ms1lhac and jean Ingelow. From political life abroad we miss Count Mutsu, Canovas Del Castillo and MT. Mundella; from polit- ical life at home Henry George, Sena- tor Dixon, Dolph, George, Harris and Voorhees,, MT. Holman of Indiana and several others. General Neal Dow and George M. Pullman were two Americans prominent for very differ ent reasons. Such diverse figures as those of Barney Barnato, Father Kneipp, Captain Boycott, Herman the magician and General Joe" Shelby appear. Art and music have lost ST John Gilbert, Johannes Brahms and Max Maretzek; the stage is the poorer for the death of Mrs. John Drew, AL exander Salvini and William Terriss. Other names that have a. place here are those of Alfred Nobel, the inven- tor of dynamite, Albert Fink, the rail- way expert; Joseph B. McCullagh, Charles A. Dana, Dr. George H. Houghton, Rear Admiral Worden, Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, Sir Isaac Holden. Rear Admiral Meade and Ho- ratio King.
