ing and found fourteen empty shells
and a piece of his suspender. Nothing
more. did not have the heart to take
more than a single glance at his mu-
tilated body. I arranged to have him
sent back for burial and ordered the
best coffin we could obtain. 1t was of
galvinized iron, SO that the body could
be shipped afterwards if desired by his
family. John Young and Goodman
were buried in the same kind of a cot
fin. The way in which Harry met his
fate is in mystery beyond solution. My
own theory is, that he went by a. mum
Der of, bodies of troops, including the
main body, which, with the battery was
temporarily resting within the closed
walls of the "deDosito," and did not
make any inquiries as to where the
guns were, believing that he would see
them when he reached them, and that
unaWareS he rode right into the Fill
pinos' lines into the jaws of death;
that they permitted him to get well
within their grasp, keeping concealed,
and at the proper moment. shooting at
him with the result of only wounding
his horse. He then ran forward, be-
lieving the Nebraskans. and the Utah
batteries were still further in advance,
that they then ran after him and he
took refuge behind the wall of a ven
tilating shaft over the aqueduct, a
small building about 10x12 feet with
walls three feet high and a gable roof,
and here made a stand against his enc
mics, only to be finally shot and after
wards stripped by them. Of course
this is only supposition. The incident
made me sad beyond description, and
to me is the most dramatic feature of
the war out here.

had been assigned the duty of cleaning
out the fortificationS of Havana, had
discovered in the gun room of the Guar
tel de F'oerste az wooden box or hut, in
which he found a gutta percha tube,
containing one large copper wire and
several smaller wires. He also found
evidences of keyboard having been
torn away. Captain Huston had con-
fded his discovery to Mr.. Warren j..
Lynch, neWly-appointed general pas
senger agent of the Big Four who was
visiting Havana, and said he was about
to trace the wires to prove his theory
that the mine was exploded from that
point. The wreck of the vessel can be
seen from this gun room, not more
than a hundred yards distant. The room
itself was in a part of the prison to
which access was only allowed by few
officers.
Havana, March 20.-Captain T. L..
Huston of the volunteer engineers was
questioned today by a correspondent of
the Associated Press on the subject of
the story, printed by a newspaper at
Cincinnati o., saying that the location
of the keyboard by which the United
States battleship Maine was blown up
in Havana harbor on Feb. Is, 1898, had
been found by him in a gun room of the
Foerza prison, while engaged in clean
ing out the Notifications. The caatain
said the use of his name in this con-
nection was not authorized. He showed
the correspondent cable with several
wires running into the harbor from
Foerza prison, opposite Cabanas for
tress. One wire was connected with a
disused telegraph instrument in a
neighboring governm ent building.
Though the cable has not been investi-
gated by the United States engineers,
the superstition is that it runs to Ca
banas, across the harbor, and has been
used for telegraphing. There is a re-
mote chance that the wires in the cable
were connected with mines or torpe-
does. but there is no indication that it
had anything to do with the blowing
up Of the Maine The end of the cable
sticking out of Fuerza prison has been
seen by tourists for weeks past. Many
soldiers have also seen the cable, and
many have expressed the belief that it
was used to blow W the Maine

SITES FOR PUBLIC BUILDING
LOCATIONS TO BE OFFERED FOR
UNCLE SANS STONE HOUSE.
Rivalry Between State Street and
West Temple-Deseret News Cor
ner Formidable Competitor.

Before many more days a special
agent of the treasury department at
Washington Will drop into the city to
examine and teport upon sites offered
for the erection of the 100000 postoffice
and federal building, the appropriation
for which was recently secured by Sen
ator RaWlinS from congress. When the
government representative arrives ne
will find half a dozen or more eligible
sites rendered at normal, or at least
low sriceS.
Rivalry will be sharp between State
street and West Temple street, and the
north side will vie with the south for
the buildings location. Already prop
erty owners are doing some quiet pre-
liminary work getting their PROPOSE
lions in presentable shape.
Probably the most formidable com
petitor in the race is the Deseret News
corner The north side champions Will
have competition from Whitaker, the
CAPITALIST, who will have the old GrOes-
beck residence lot on Fourth South
street, east of Main, to offer on behalf
of the land owners on the south of the
business district.
West Temple street will be heard
from, the Continental, owned by the
Jennings Investment company, and
CanDDell ana IOOly WIFI llSlF cCEIIef
on Third South, bidding for the govern
ment's favor.
State street viii come to the front
with an offer of Zwickheimers corner,
across south from the Knutsford, and
probably also the Holmes and Murray
corner, at the southeast intersection of
| Second South. Another possibility is
the Brigham Young Trust company for
a frontage on First South and State,
or abutting on Commercial street.
Other localities will doubtless make
offerings, but those mentioned are all
that have been spoken of yet in bust
ness haunts.
The site for the public building must
| be at least 200 feet square, with a
street not less than four rods in width
running at the rear sides at right
angles This arrangement will result
! in some waste space for street pur-
poses, but the loca ton of the structure
| in any quarter will stimulate business
and traffic in that section, and have a
compromising effect in increasing VAL
ues beyond the cost of any sacrifices of
land coded for street needs.

FROM MAJOR R. W. YOUNG.
Describes the Finding of DR.. Harry
Young's Body.

A long and highly interesting letter
was received from Major Richard
w. Young by his family yesterday con-
tanning further details of the deaths
of DR.. Harry A Young, John Young and
Private Goodman and other matters
already fully covered in The Herald of
yesterday. With reference to the death
of the first named, Major Young writes
as follows:
Colonel Stotsenturg and I WE and
ing on the top of the hill which we
had just taken, when one of his men
came to him and said there was a
wounded horse on the road below, ask
ing if he should shoot it. He was or
dered to do so. / went over to the brow
of the hill and looked at it and to my
horror recognized it at once as the gray
horse that Harry had been riding, rec
ognizable chiefly because of the red ar
tillery blanket on the horses iron gray
back. ran down myself, shot the horse
and rapidly searched the neighborhood
for evidences of the missing man.
Nothing but one of the stirrups, cut
from the saddle for some reason with
sharp knife, could be found We low
cred a man into one of the ventilating
holes of the water pipe to see if there
was anv evidence of his fate there.
but we found none. 1 never had an
experience that made me so heartsick.
The uncertainty of his fate, whether
he was dead or alive, the question as
to how he persisted if dead, the thought
that perhaps his horse had been stolen
and he captured, all these reflections
surged through my mind. But there
was no time for delay. The advance
was still in progress. The Mausers
were cracking on the hills all around
| US and our troops engaging with the
enemy on every side. Our batteries
always put their shots in where they
told, to the great qualification of the
I infantry, who all swear by the Utah
battery boys.
We had not advanced far from the
position in which Harry's horse was
found when 1 was called for a few rods
to the front, and in such tones as to
convince me that either his remains
had been found or some evidence of his
| fate discovered. 1t was his body; he
was nearly naked, only a part of his
shirt on the upper part of his body be-
ing left. There was a bullet through
| his head showing burnt powder on the
hair; he was also shot in the right side.

THE BASEBALL SEASON.
Local Admirers of the National Game
Making Ready

With the opening of spring the base
ball men are beginning to plan for the
coming season on the diamond There
will be at least four local teams to dis
pute for state championship honors
with the Ogdenites, who carried off the
plum last year.
The Oregon Short Line team will be
just about as it was last season save
that it will be strengthened by the pres
ence of Taylor of Omaha in the box
and one or two other new men who,
it is said, have in past seasons played
in fast company in the east.
The Y. NJ. G. A. will put team in the
field for the first time in several sea
sons. The nine viii not play Sunday
games, but expects to play Saturday
afternoons during the season. The read
ing spirits in the organization are j. D.
Cross, captain of the championship
football team of several past seasons,
and Hughey, who has for two years
been an active Short Line player. with
them are associated several ex Shcrt
Liners, one or two of the Elks and a
number of the old Z. n. c.. A. players
of years ago. The GTst formal meet
ing of the team wGs held last evening
ana plans for early practice were dis
cussed. 1t is probable that grounSs will
be secured near the Salt Palace grounds
whenever it is definitely ascertained
where that structure is to be located
The Elks of last years fame have
given no signs of activity as yet. 1t is
quite likely that the team will again
be in the field this season. Whether the
Browns at Fort Douglas will be able
to support team, weakened and split
up as their strong aggregation of two
years ago has been by war and the di-
vision of the regiment, is uncertain.
Several companies of the regiment are
sure to remain here, but it is not likely
that they can get any team which will
be so successful as that of 81.
The school boys are talking again of
organizing a league such as was main
tanned last year so successfully. The
High school has already perfected its
organization and All Hallows' college
and the University will both have
teams, it is expected.

you state if the Buckeye Pipe Line
company was member Of what is
known as the Standard Oil trust?"
asked Mr.. Flagg. 80
Yes, jtwas.'
How do you know"
BY its being represented in the cor
porate scrip. received from the liquid
ating trustees"
In answer to questions, witness said
he had owned this corporate scrip
about three years. He had never re-
ceived any dividends from any of it.
None Of the companies in which he re-
ceived fractional shares upon surren-
der to the trust of the trust certificate
paid dividends on such fractional
shares. Besides this scrip, witness
said, he had six shares represented by
certificates Of the Standard Oil trust
A special dividend of the Standard
Oil trust certificates in the hands OF
the liquidating trustees, Mr.. Rice said,
amounted to So per cent for the last
two years, or III. per cent a year. The
regular dividend was II per cent
year, making a total dividend Of 295a
per cent. per year. Witness said the
fact that the three-sevenths of the
stock OF the pipe line company still re-
manned asst did, constituted the reason
for the existence of what is known as
liquidating board of trustees. He un-
derstood that the other four-seVenthS
were owned almost exclusively by the
hquidating trustees and the officers of
the other nineteen constituent COM
panies. His refneries had been shut
down for about three years. He was
still producing oil. He thought the
Buckeye company did 95 per cent of
the local pipage in the state of Ohio.
He was not aware that other compan-
les had tried to obtain some of this
business.
Mr.. Cline asked the witness if he
had not testified in Columbus against
the Standard Oil company and against
the Buckeye Pipe Line company on be-
half of Attorney General Monnett. Mr..
Rice saids he had, and, in reply to other
questions, said that his expenses had
been paid by the attorney general, but
that he had not been paid for his time,
nor did he expect to be paid for it.
The hearing will be continued tomor-
row.
