Y. N. c. A.
May Induce Moody to Visit Us.

D. D. Williams, formerly of st. Louis
is the new secretary at the Y. M. @. A.
pending the meeting OF the directors
which will probably be held this week,
but, in view of the new year and these
very busy days, the meeting may be
postponed until next week as all the
directors are active sbusiness men.
This first meeting of the year will be q
very important one as there are many
things to consider as the motto of the
association is practically onward and
upward.
Since that eminent evangelist, D. L.
Moody, is 80 near Ell Paso, his date be-
ing fixed few days since to appear at
Santa Fe, N. M. the HERALD asked
Secretary Williams what he thought
Of extending an invitation to Mr..
feasible and the idea q good one, and
come, but I have been here so short
time it would not become me to take
the initiative, and as matter of fact
the directors are the proper persons to
take up the question.
Mr.. Moody visits Santa Fe on his
own responsibility so far as q money
consideration is concerned. He will
probably visit Santa Fee for several
days and will talk at length to the cou-
victs in the territorial prison. He will
then leave for the coast, and whether
he will go by way of the A. & p. or
the Southern Pacific, is not as yet
known. The directors should get to-
gether and extend Mr.. Moody an In
vitation to visit Ell Paso.

A CUBAN ROMANCE.
One of FL Paso's Volunteers Welded
SANTIAGO HeireSS.

Some week ago the HERALD publish
ed a cartoon of q Cuban girl and be-
meath the picture said that probably
many of Uncle Sans bold soldier boys,
would succumb to the charms of the
beautiful maidens for whose freedom
they had 30 valiantly fought.
The superstition proved to be emf
nently correct, for now comes the
news from Santiago that Captain
Charlie Jones formerly of Ell Paso has
during his leisure moments, wooed
aud. won a wealthy Cuban
girl and that they we're married last
month.
John Connors of this city received
an invitation to attend the wedding
but couldn'nt go on account OF a pre-
vious engagement at the new hospital.
The bride is described IS q '1ovely
girl of French and Spanish ancestry
who speaks both languages iuently."
She is also said ito be possessed of
fortune in her own right and that
Jones will probably retire from the ar
my to manage the estate.

Coal Briggs More Remarkable Expe-
rience Than the Maria Teresa's.
After the grounding of the Maria
Teresa on Cat island she will be a more
interesting and valuable vessel than
ever before. Secretary Long has ordered
Captain McCalla to hurry down from
Norfolk with the big repair ship Vulcan
and bring her home. If the ship should
be recovered, restored and put in COM
mission for active service it will be a
nine days. wonder. Still stranger things
have happened.
Some years ago saw in the harbor
of Punta Arenas a fine brig of 5000
tons burden which had an even more re-
markable experience. She came floating
up the strait of Magellan toward the
town one day while an old American,
Captain Smiley, who used to live in
Chicago 40 years ago, sat smoking on
the deck of Chilean man-of-war. The
vessel was dismasted and her rigging
hung tangled about the stumps and
strewn over the deck. As she came
nearer and nearer Captain Smiley
watched her with increasing curiosity
and could not see any one aboard. He
called two sailors to lower the dingey
and started toward the stranger. He
boarded her without difficulty as she
drifted slowly along, searched her from
stem to stern, and the only living crea-
ture he found aboard was a cat, which
welcomed him with evidence of Joy and
relief With the aid of his men he
cleared the steering gear and the an
chors and finally moored the vessel at a
favorable place opposite the town where
she had been carried by the current.
Going ashore he filed claim for sal
wage, and in few weeks found himself
q rich man, for the vessel was loaded
with anthracite coal, which was worth
$1S ton. Captain Smiley resigned his
position as engineer in the Chilean
navy, and has been in the coal business
ever since. He used the old derelict as
q storehouse, and sells fuel to the mer-
ohant ships and men that pass through
the strait
An examination of Lloyds records
showed .hat the brig left Cardiff sew
eral months before bound for Valpa-
raise, intending to go around the Horn,
and it is believed that while east IF
TERRA del Fuego she was stripped by
gale, and her crew deserted her. As
nothing was ever heard of them after
ward they are supposed to have been
lost, while. if they had simply gone be-
low to their hunks, pulled the matches
over them and remained there, they
would have been safe. The strangest
part of the story is that this vesf
found the narrow and obscured mouth
Of the straits and floated through that
crooked and intricate channel, SO dan
gerous that steamships are not allowed
to go that way by night. AS in the coal
brig, the only passenger aboard the
Maria Teresa was a cat. which was
among the trophies of war. She was
found aboard 20 days after the battle
almost starved to death and was chris
