DEAR BnoTHER:-We are ia the same

Whole summer As orders have been is
sued to withdraw all the volunteers
from the island and replace them with
regulars, many regulars are on the way
here and barracks are being built for
those who will remain here during the
rainy season. This country is all right
but awful hot, the thermometer being
from 80 to 120 degrees. The soil
around Havana seems very rich and the
Cubans raise almost everything they put
in the ground; but mostly tobocco. The
tobacco season is between Novem Der
and March, after the latter month the
weather gets too hot for tobacco aud
the rainy season too close. OF course,
there are lots OF sugar plantations and
oil kinds OF vegetables. Every thing is
very expensive ard is put at three
prices for the Americans. They charge
US 10 cents for head OF lettuce, 5 cents
for two little tomatoes and 40 cents a
dozen for eggs. There isn't any fresh
butter here, at least we can't get any.
When Secretary Alger visited the island
on March 26th, We had a great review.

FOUND DEAD IN A BROOK.
a Woman's Night search for Her
MlssinE Husband.

DANBURY, Conn. Nov. 20.-Three miles
out of Danbury is Miry Brook, shallow.
sluggish stream that runs into swamp.
On its banks is the Crofut farm. And
there until Friday lived George A. Crofut
and his wife. Pm going to catch bait to
go fishing with tomorrow announced
Crofut to his wife Friday afternoon. He
put on his long boots. took out his bait
can and started of. His wife watched him
walk down the open and finally disappear
in the depths of the brush that overhangs
the swamp.
II could not shake it off, said Mrs.
Crofut yesterday. II felt the foreboding
of impending disaster. though my husband
had gone to that swamp hundreds OF times
before and always, came back safe and
sound" As the day faded and the night
settled down oyer, the quiet countryside.
the wife became more and more alarmed.
Her husband did not return. and she hur-
ried over to a neighbOr's to tell her fears.
Nonsense" laughed the women. He's
met the men folks and they're down in the
village.
So Mrs. CrOfut went home and to bed.
But she could not sleep. At midnight she
took lantern and set out alone for the
swamp into which her husband had plung-
ed in the afternoon. Down one side of the
brook she floundered in the dark for a
mile OF more, but she found not a trace.
Back on the other side she stumbled
there was nothing.
Failure did not daunt her. however.
Hour after hour Mrs. Crofut kept on in
that oozing morass. At last. just before
dawn. she found the body of her husband
submerged in the shallow waters OF the
brook.
Mrs. Crofut plunged into the brook.
Seizing the body with the strength that
she never possessed in calmer moments.
she dragged it to the bank. Then she ran
TO the house of the nearest neighbor near
ly a mile away
She aroused a party of men. They beg
ged her TO stay behind and let them bring
back her husband TO her home But she
would have none Of that. Mrs. Crofut her
self led them to the spot and then SIC
swooned. Tender hands took home the liy-
ing and the dead Mrs. Crofut is in bad
condition. Ii is believed that her husband
was stricken with heart disease and fell
into the water.

DANGER OF GOLD SEEKERS
Prospects Of DestitutiOn and Death
in Cape Nome.
Government Agent Rhodes Gives q
DOIeful Picture of COming Pr0ba-
Miners Away Before Suffering be-
gins-high Prices for PrOvisiOns.

BUFFALO, n. Y. Nov. 20.-Letters re-
been sent to Cape Nome. the new Alaskan
gold field. by the United States Government
states that the history of Cape Nome is
to be a repetition of the story Of Dawson
and so many other mining towns in the
frozen north-the story Of a wild struggle
for gold, lack of food. starvation, extrava-
CANT prices for the necessities Of life
with failure and death as the fate of many
of the gold hunters. This was evident to
Mr. Rhodes after a few days in the new
mining camp. For eight years he has been
engaged in the mail service between Seat
patched into the great north country TO
assist in the development of the mail SER
vice of that frigid region.
The letters tell of the long and exciting
journey from Seattle to Cape Nome. jour-
ney which occupied twenty-five days The
Cleveland, the vessel on which Mr.. Rhodes
made the trip, narrowly escaped being
shipwrecked, fate which befeli other
ships that were sailing into the north at
the same Time. Inc crew ana passengers
of one of these unfortunate ships were
taken aboard the Cleveland while others
had to be left on the barren sea island on
which their ship struck because the surf
was running SO high that the Cleveland's
boats could not reach them.
This is one OF the richest countries dis
covered" writes Mr. Rhoades. and what
place it is. Last June there were not
fifty persons here and now there are be-
tween 5000 and 5000. But there is bound
TO be terrible suffering here this winter.
for there Is not enough food for ALL and
there are rot enough boats to carry away
all who want to get out before those days
OF suffering come. Gold seems to be plenti-
full, but il is CT no more value than so
much dirt when it comes to trying to buy
things which cannot be obtained in this
far away land at any price. Everything
brings fabulous prices now, and prices are
still rising fast. Meats cost from 81 TO
80 per pound. flour is considered
cheap at $40 a sack, coal can be bought
for 1925 a ton. but there is not great
quantity here even at that price. Every
other necessity of life is held at the same
proportionate value. Wages are 81 an hour
while food is scarce and there is bound to
be much suffering and starvation here. The

HIS BRIDE GOES WITH HIM.
An Exception to War Once Rules In
Major PrestOn's Case.


HARRISBURG. Pa, Nov. 2o.-There is a
romantic tale connected with the depart
ure of the Forty-first Regiment last night
from Camp Meade for New York, where it
takes the transport Logan for Manila.
This regiment, the last to leave Camp
Meade, is commanded by Colonel Rich
mond, a Baltimorean. One OF its officers
is Major Guy H. Preston.
When Major Preston lay suffering from
typhoid fever in one of the hospitals in
Washington some time ago he was given
in charge of Miss Frances Hacker, OF
Maine who had graduated as a nurse.
While the soldier was being nursed back
to health an attachment sprang up be-
tween them, which ripened into love. They
wanted to wed, but Major Preston did not
wish to go to the Philippines without his
bride. The order prohibiting the wives Of
army officers from accompanying their
husbands to Manila stood as a barrier to
their happiness.
Major Preston wrote the War Depart
ment asking that an exception be made
in his case, since his bride-to-be was a
trained nurse. The War Department look
ed with favor upon the request and conse-
quently Major Preston and Miss Hacker
were married. They will go together to
the Philippines.
The departure of the FOrty-first Regi-
ment marks the beginning of the end of
Camp Meade. All the property is being
collected and examined, and that which
has been condemned is burned. Junk deal
ers are collecting the old iron and selling
it. 1t is thought that every vestige Of the
camp will be removed by January 1, 1900.
Since August 10, 1898, about forty regi-
ments or portions Of regiments have been
at Camp Meade.
