The most gentlemanly rCb5er On rec ord-William E. Travis, Esq, alias Dalton, who was arrested last week, is now caged in a dungeon dcwn in the Tcmbs with an iron grating over the door to enable him to breathe and talk freely Fs
 The story Of this mans life is inter esting. His father, William Busch, was an industrious mechanic, with a scientific turn of mind; his mother 3 soft vcicsd, amiable appearing woman, with great tenacity Of purpose and in- flexible will.
 Young William was taught at home, then finished off in the public schools ct no great expense, but he received far mere education than most pupils because he soaked up knowledge as a sponge 'takes w4ter.
 He also did lot of studying in his own way outside of school hours. Pres ently his associates discovered young man Of thoughtful turn of mind, sel- dom conyersing except in high, intel lectual strain. How he acquired a knowledge of law and medicine, with theology enough to make him an eff fective preacher on the frontier is 9 mystery no one has besn able to solve.
 His parents are German, and, like all German boys, he was put at a trade silk weaving. In this, as in everythiD g else he has undertaken, he became an expeft-so expert that during the long hours before the silk looms, with their  swallows in silken cage, he had time to weave ether webs and think cut plans for the future.
 Before he realized cn what read his mind was travelling he found himself planning imaginary dafalcations, schemes fer obtaining money under falsa pretense, robbing men and houses Of fortunes.
 With his compr5 5hensive grasp on hu- man affairs, he saw clearly that others had failed in crime because they had accomplices who betraye1 thsm, be- cause they always kept bad company and their associates were rascals. Prss- ently he had arrived as a decision which was fatal. He could net rest until ha put plan for robbery into ex- ecution. He went about the business like a veteran. From star, to finish he had logically and with amazing foresight arranged for every possible defeat.
 The house he had selected was en- tered easily because he had made a careful survey of it's approaches and intericr by various means and subter- fuges during the day.
 He was like an engineer with a good map. He knew just what to do. He entered the house, took the silver, peek eted all the watches in sight, cracked couple Of trunks and found half a peck of jawelry in the trays. This was dcne while the servants were enter-

 Such is the 'short-grass country" of today. It is working out it's own sal yation along lines of rugged independ- enca and with as much consideration for the feelings of the investor as cen ditions will permit. It is developing industries suited to the climate and will win. There is no clamor fer inn migration.
 A wide-hatted, h5avily spurred line rider down near the territory express ed it this way: There's people enough here now fer all the pasture we've got. We don't want no farmers.

taining their young men in the base ment during the absence of the aris- tocratic proprietor at the seashore. The success Of the enterprise made the drudgery Of silk weaving seem re- pulsive task. It required no skill, no intellect, no daring. So the gentleman ly burglar bade good-by to the loom and the flying shuttle Travis had no confdanis; he made no acquaintancss $ among people of his calling. His read ing was books of science and high class literature
 When ho went among his respectable friends he told them ha was a jeweler by profession, but temporarily a trav- cling agent fer a big manufacturing g concern in the city Thus he could safely display in Cincinnati rings and breastpins stolsn in Boston CT Phila- delphia.

He talked Interestingly, displaying much knowledge on a large number of sub jects. I. was not lcng before they were engaged. The following spring on Staten island they took little fiat in Brooklyn, settled down to housskeep- ing, and dear William, although con- stantlX travelling, managed to see his wife once CT twice 8 week often re- maining with her a cay CT two at a time.
 When the young man wsnt on his travels he sent home carefully and low ingly wcrded letters not only to his wife, but to her mother, Mrs. Lamb, who was living with them
 All this occurred about year ago, in the Brooklyn end Of Grsater New York. No hint was given that he was in any other business than selling jewelry and precious stones.
 When I called on Mrs. Lamb in Brooklyn she said he was a most af- fectionate ani indulging husband the strongest man she ever saw.
 His hands were enormous, sc big as to seem most unwieldy. Yet he had a wonderfully light touch-cculd pick up the smallest diamonds with ease.

with the dellberation which II believes
will secure success unattended with
disasters. With this main purpose In
view, the army and navy are cooper
ating toward the dispatch of the
troops, some 25,0OO in number, under
escort OF a strong fleet of naval con-
voys, made up OF sixteen warships
headed by the battleship Indiana.
Unattended by this strong fleet, the
troops might have left last Friday.
when one strong naval convoy was
ready for this service. Since then,
however, reports have come as to the
presence of Spanish ships In the
north Atlantic. Realizing that moth
ing WAS to be gained by haste. and
that the war was progressing steadily
towards success, II was determined
not to take the one small chance of
having our troops transports menaced
by some scouting ships OF the enemy.
As result. the troops transports have
not proceeded to Cuba. either yester-
day or the day before. as has been re-
peatedly asserted. They are In readi-
ness to go. but Will not move until
the naval convoy Is ready to accom-
pany them. assuring safe conduct

Chicago, June 12.-Generai Skaters
expedition to Santiago dc Cuba Is COM
posed entirely OF regular army soldiers.
with the addition of the Seventy-frss
New York, Second Massachusetts and
eight troops OF the First volunteer cav
airy, which Is Familiarity known as
Roosevelt's rough riders. These regi-
ments were selected by General Miles
after an Inspection of the entire vol
un,eer camp at Tampa because he be-
hcved them TO be better drilled, better
equipped and in better condition To
stand the climate than any OF the 9th
crs of the volunteer army.
The expedition expects TO arrive nj
n place called Nueya Salamanca. for
merly known as Balgulrl. about twelve
miles east OF Santiago. where there Is
n breakwa;er and a pier erected some
years ago by an iron company. OF
which John u. Rockefeller Is the prin.
cipal s;ockholdcr This company was
organized by George II. Ely * Cleve-
land, and Is operated 10y his nephew,
who comes from Elyria. Ohio. The
mines are about three miles inland AZ
n place called Juragua, and produce q
remarkable kind OF Besscmer ore
which is chiefly used NJ the Sparrow
Point iron works. near Baltimore. The
pier was expressly constructed for
handling ore and there are dumps,
chutcs aud hoisting machinery OF med.
ern design 10y which 1t Is transferred
from the ears to the ship.
The little railway which runs back
TO the mines IL said to BE- in excellent
condition, and ever since our navy has
been investing Santiago Admiral
Sampson has been on the lookout lest
this pier should be disturbed. At the
last reports II was al! right and the
navy people think they can protect 1t
until the arrival OF the troops.
The folly and the lack OF foresight
exhibited by the Spanlards from the
beginning the war Is illustrated very
forcibly here. BY destroying this pier
they could have prevented the landing
OF siege guns. but by leaving # they
have enabled General Shafter to get
his heavy artillery ashore without
much difficulty.
The pier can accommodate about
eight vessels and VIII bc used for
those which carry heavy cargos.s. The
remainder OF the expedition viii dIsem-
bark at the mouth OF the Jaragua riv-
cr, which empties into the sea abou;
Santiago harbor, which can accommo-
date vessels OF any draught. for 1t has
seventeen fathoms OF water within 400
yards OF the shore. There Is light
house there elevated sixteen feet above
the sea. with two lanterns. Near the
mouth OF the Jur1gua river are three
small bays. protected by high. sharp
hills, called Los Altares or The AL
,ars, upon which the Spanish have
placed fortifications and mounted
heavy modern guns to command the
entrance of the river and the pier. but
Admiral Sampson will look out for
them.
The inhabitants about Nueva Sala-
manca are nearly all In the employ OF
the American iron company. and their
sympaihies are naturally with the Unit
ell States. General Skaters ships are
accompanied by pilots who are thor
oughly familiar with the coast, and
have been engaged in the transporta-
tion OF ore between the Juragua mines
and Baltimore.
