WOOD, TE e TRUST TAMER

Whom Gen. Wood, late colonei
Of the Rough Riders, assumed
! charge of Santiago dc Cuba, the
conditions Of the place were about
as bad as they could be, says the
Folethightly Review. The city
was Americanized from sanitary
point of view. Then tho question
of food. Meat had gone up to 80
cents a pound, and was scarce at
that. Bread cold for fabulous
prices. Very soon thee came a
change; provisions began to come
ION tho ordinary sou, oes. AS the
supply increas /, howovor, there
was no diminution Of prices.
Gen. Wood cent fer the aldermen
representing the different wards Of
the city, and he also summoned
the butchers. When thoy were as
sembled in his Office he arrenged
them i'll two lines, facing one an
other. Then, through an interpre-
tor, he asked he,butchors:
"How much do you charge for
your meat?'
Ninety cents pound, sonor {"
"What does it cost youY"
There was hesitation and q shut.

men said in whining voice:
"Meat is vefy, very dear your
exceIlency."
"HOW much q no11nd2"

"Fifteen cents, your e%eell lency !;
but we have lost much money durr

meat will be sold at 25 cents d

Do you undepsJahd:"
Then, turning to the alderman,
he charged them TO see ths his or.
der was CARVED out to the letter,
unless they wanted to be expelled
from Office.
Thenceforward meat was sold in
the markets at 25 cents. A simi-

THE RECALL OF OTIS
Believed To Be The Next Move.

Believed To Be The Next Move.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-1t is now
believed by the war department that
General Elwell S. Otis will be deprived
of his command in the Philippines.
OTIS's FRIENDS GIvE-UP
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-There was
a slump in the stock of Otis sentiment
at the war department today. Several
of his friends, among them officers who
have been his strongest defenders, are
less confident than they have ever
been. One said:
"The pressure for Otis removal from
the command of campaign operations
comes from so many sides and is so
strong that 1 feel at last be will be re-
quested to give away. What we had
confidently expected was that he would
be given a chance to do what he could
with the new army. 1 fear now that it
will not be done. It looks as though
the rainy season operations now in pro-
gress will be his last opportunity. OF
course they cannot yield any important
resultS'

money is easy: on call you can get
as low as two and one half per cent.
SIT is the opinion of leading jobbers
in New York, that Texas had the larg-
est representative of buyers in New
York in over ten years. Never saw so
many Texas men in New York before,
and where they bought five thousand
dollars of goods several years back they
bought ten thousand dollars worth this
year. and this surely speaks we'll for
the prosperity of the state. If predic-
tions fail and business is not as good as
expected something will surely drop.

GREAT INDIGNATION
Expressed In Washington Over the
Dreyfus Decision.

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a wave OF
| indignation swept over the nation Is
capital today when the news came OF
the conviction of Dreyfus. The case
has been closely followed by all the
heads of departments here, and in fact
by any one intelligent enough to read
the newspapers.
When the news of the conviction
came it was quickly carried through
the different departments, and govern
ment officials did not hesitate to ex-
press their displeasure.
Such expressions as SIT is the great
est outrage OF the century," ''It is the
combined crime of a nation of degene-
rates." SIT will mean a revolution that
will bring about new France" were
common.
While these government officials
cannot be personally quoted, it can be
stated with absolute truth that without
single exception every one in autho-
rity here condemned the verdict in the
Dreyfus case as unfair and unjust.

A FISH YARN
Unqualed i'm the Annals of Fiction

UnQualed i'm the Annals of Fiction
A fish story that eclipses any
thing in the annals of fiction and one
that would bring tears of envy to the
eyes of Isaac Walton, was told to re-
preventative of the HERALD today by
W. G. WalZ.
Mr.. WaiZ has just returned from q
trip to Santa Catalina Island. Califor-
MIA, and has fund of fish stories that
would put the most expert narrator OF
fish stories TO shame, and yet Mr..
Walz assured the reporter that the
story was true in every particular, and
to substantiste the yarn, Mr.. Wslz
has picture of the immense catch
with himself standing in the back
ground. Some skeptical people might
be likely to doubt the veracity of the
story, but the picture in measure
substau tiates what Mr.. Walz says.
The story runs in this wise:
ga party of gentlemen including my
self went out in the launch Santa Ana,
bound for days sport.
Attached to the launch was q small
tender. When out a short way from
nmense ths Shore school %s run of into SslloMa an
tails driving school of ssrdines to-
ward the shore. We Immediately
made for a landing, picked up the bait
from the shore and caught forty-eighs
yellow tail, averaging about twenty
pounds each, and completely
filing our tender. 1t was
up to that time the largest catch of the
season, and it was all over in less than
two hours. 1 know come people will
discredit the story, but it is neverthe-
less so, and the most remarkable part
about it, mind you, we caught them all
from the shore.

BLACK JACK:IMpROVIN6
His Arm Has Been Amputated And
1t is Believed He Will Get Well.

The latest reports from Santa Fe,
New Mexico, are that Tom Ketchu 10
better known as "Black jack" will re-
cover.
After an unsuccessful attempt to
hold up the Santa Fe train at Folson,
N. NJ, on the fourteenth of August,
he received eleven buckshot in the
right arm, shattering it from should to
elbow. He was first carried to Trini-
dad and afterwards removed to Santa
Fe.
For long time he refused to allow
the physicians to amputate his wound
ed arm, although modification had set
il, preferring to die rather than live to
suffer his impending fate, but the news
now is that the arm has been taken off
and that Ketchum will live.
The noted bandit is said to be q man
of remarkable courage and nerve. At
ter he WAS so badly wounded he.sppear
ed from outward indications to suffer
no special paiu, but he afterwards con-
fessed to the attending physician that
he had endured unutterable agony.
