Washington Letter.
(From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 28th 1899.

WASHINGTON, April 28th 1899.
President Mckinley and all of
his cabinet except Secretary Will
son, who is in South Carolina;
Secretary Alger, who has gone to
Detroit. and Postmaster General
Smith, who went to Galena, ILL.,, to
deliver an address at the Grant
anniversary celebration, went to
Philadelphia to witness the .un:
yelling Of the monument to Gen.
Grant. They returned to Wash
ington today, and are all enthusi-
astic over the handsome monu-
ment and their own pleasant re-
ception by the Pennsylvanians.
The unwilling of this fine eques-
TRAN statue of Gen. Grant has
called attention anew to the re-
grettable fact that no statue of
him has yet been erected at the
national capital, for which he did
so much, and which is the home
of his widow, daughter and grand
children, that there will be a
Grant monument, worthy of the
man and of the city, erected in
Washington some day, is hardl y
to be doubted.
The Military Court of Inquiry
has completed it's report, and as
soon as President Mckinley can
look it over it will be made pub
liz. An official who knews the
nature of the report said of it:
Those who expected the report
to contain any whitewashing or
wrongdoing on the part of any,
body that was exposed by the
testimony will be disappointed. It
is q straightforward, business
document from start to finish, and
contains language that will make
unpleasant reading for some Off
GERS who neglected to perform
their duties properly; it also con-
tains sharp structures for those
contractors who proited by the
failure of officers to properly look
out for the interests of the inter-
ests of the government"
Predictions are being freely
made that Mr.. Bryan will lose
much support, by reason of the
position he has taken in opposi-
ton to expansion as a whole, and
to the policy that this government
is pursuing in the Philippines in
particular. Senator Clay, of Ca
was asked what his people thought
of the Philippine policy, which
Mr.. Bryan is almost daily at
tacking, and he said: 'They re-
alize that we cannot leave those
people to the mercies of a savage
government, nor can we leave
them prey to foreign nations,
but at the some time they, hope
that the time is not far distant
when we can establish the Fill
pinos on g firm foundation and
then leave them" Senator Clay
is somewhat Of an annexationist,
when it comes to Cuba and Porto
Rico, which he said; II am sure
that We-can develop Porto Rico,
and as for Cuba. / confidently ex-

THE CUBAN GOLD MYTH.
Which May Be Dignifled by
the Name Mine.

If we listen to the voice of the charm
er or go to the books on Cuba for our
information we shall find that the min
eral resources of this island include
gold, silver, mercury, lead, antimony,
copper, chrome, iron, manganese, pitch,
bitumen and even coal; but when we
come to look for practical metallic re-
suits commensurate with these varied
mineral resources we shall be disap-
pointed, says the Engineering Maya
zine. -. p;
The gold fiction is the most time hon
ored, for the original Spanish settlers
expected to find rich gold mines in
Cuba. According to their historian
much gold was taken from this island
at the beginning of the conquest, but
it seems probable that most Of this was
taken from the chiefs or caciques of the
Indians and very little from the ground.
Ell Viagero Universal, Madrid, 1897,
says: "Some of this metal (gold) is
still found at Holguin." Whenever the
existence of gold in Cuba is discussed
this mine at HolguinI is invariably
brought forward. It is true that some
work has been done at this point and
a little gold has been, extracted, but
there has never been any systematic ex-
ploration, and there is nothing there
which may be dignifed with the name
of a mine. IN

SOME BIG FEES.
European Physicians Sometimes OBJ
tain Fortunes for a Sim
gle Operation.

Several European physicians have
made fortunes by single operations.
DR.. Thomas Dimsdale, Hertfordshire
specialist, who was summoned to St.
Petersburg in 1852 to vaccinate Empress
Catherine H., received 100000 and a
pension of $4,000 year. A certain Dr.
Butler, who had obtained worldwide
reputation for his operations in lithot-
omy, received lakh of rupees (then
forth $50,OO0) from each of six Indian
rajahs for releasing them from their
pains. The late car OF Russia paid Prof.
zacherine, a noted specialist of Moscow,
$4,000 for two days attendance. DR..
Gale, of Bristol, received check for
$250,CO0 for curing certain prominent
nobleman of a diseased knee. DR.. Gale
Yowski, who Travelled all the way to
Teheran to attend the son of the late
shah, received $4,000 and his expenses.
Sir William Jenner received a baronetcy
and $4,000 for four weeks attendance
at the bedside of the prince of Wales.
Sir Morell Mackenzie received 100000
for attending Emperor Frederick. Per-
haps the most extravaganza fee of all,
however, is that of an English army
surgeon, who charged an Indian rajah
$4,000 for one prescription in simple
case of rheumatism.- =. 49,. -.

Rel1lEerent Crabs.

Themost savage specimen of the crab
species is found in Japan, seeming to
dream of nothing but fighting, to de-
light in nothing half so much. The
minute he spies another of his kind
he scrapes his claws together in rage,
challenging him to the combat Not
moment is wasted in preiminaries,
but at it they go, hammer and tongs.
1t sounds like two rocks grinding
against one another as their claws rat
tie against the hard shells. The sand
flies as the warriors push each other
hither and thither until at last one of
them stretches himself out in the sun,
tired to death. But he does not beg
for mercy or attempt to run away,
only feebly rubbing his claws together
in defiance Of his foe. That foe comes
closer, and with his claws trembling with
JOY at his victory the conqueror catches
hold Of one claw Of the vanquishyl
crab, twists it until it comes off and
bears away the palpitating limb as a
trophy of his proWess. Such is bat
tie between warrior crabs. .

FORTUNE IN TAPESTRIES.
The Splendid Collection Claimed by
Titled Organ Grinder in
London.

Viscount Hinton, the scion of English
nobility who has been earning a mod
est livelihood by grinding an organ in
the streets of London, claims not only
the title and estates of Earl Poulett, but
the furniture and ornaments in the
great halls at Hinton ST.. George, says
London Mail.
These include one of the finest private
collections of tapestry in the world
tapestries bearing the design of Paul
Veronese and other great masters,
which are renowned for their beauty
and value throughout the world of art.
There are II of these splendid tapes
tries at Hinton St. George. They are
all of the renaissance period and were
made about 1870. Some of them have
the Poulett arms woven into the fabric
AS many of these splendid possessions
of the Pouletts are as much as 20 feet
in length, it may be readily understood
that they occupy a great space in the
halls.
These tapestries are valued at 6 1000
each. That is their average price. Con-
noisseurs assert that several tapestries
in the collection are worth $4,000 to
1900 each. They are all in splendid
condition, and if Viscount Hinton gets
them they will constitute perhaps bis
most unique possession.

THE LAND OF OPHIR.
There IL Evidence That It WINS What
Is Now Called Monemotapa, \
Afrfcn. E

The Monomotapa region, in Rho
desia, is the ancient land Of Ophir. The
gold mines Of the ancients are now re-
discovered and the gold ingot molds
rediscovered in Rhodesia are Identical
with the tin ingot molds used by the
Phoenicians in Cornwall. 1t is believed,
says the AIatabele Times, that the Phoe-
nicians worked the South African
mines 1000 B. G. Scripture tells us how
Hiram, the Phoenician king, brought
enormous quantities of gold, ivory and
slaves for King Solomon, and where
could all these have been discovered to-
gether, and in such large quantities as
described in holy writ, if not in this
portion Of southeast Africa? Jobs ref
erences to gold dust" locate the source
of Solomon's wealth in the parts, and
certainly neither the ivory nor the
"slaves" nor the ''apes" of Bible history
came from India, for Africa, as is well
known, has ever been credited in his
tory as the ivory, slave and ape-produc-
ing country. Further, there is consid-
cradle doubt whether any other coun-
try, India included, could at thatp period
have produced the quantity of gold
mentioned in Chronicles and Kings.
Scattered throughout the country are
colossal ruins of fortresses, temples of
distinctly Phoenician origin, identical
with the ruins now seen in the land of
the Phoenicians and built by the same
race as erected Stonehenge on Salisbury
plain and later built the rounded tow
ers of Ireland. Here is the herringbone
style of building, as in Arabia, Sardinia
and the British isles. There, too, are
the gigantic monoGths, cloven stones
and stone circles, with affairs and sacred
Enclosures.
