GIints from Gould.

DEAR OLD JOURNAL: Once again feel
like dropping line or two into your col
umns. All the old Belfasters here seem
to keep in the swim every day, and as
long as we can do that we are not going
to kick. | meet my old time friend Capt
George T. Osborne every time he comes
this way. He always calls at my office, Al
Water St, within one minutes walk of
rendezvous for down east captains and
especially Belfasters. | met Capt. Fred
Gilmore last week. | think he is looking
after some Southern steamboat business.
Another favorite resort for down casters
is Capt. W. J. Frisbee's. He has two Off
ces i'll Coenties Slip, Nos. 2 and %.
presume this old canvas back has shipped
more men for down east captains than any
Other shipping master in the city, if not
on the whole coast from New York to
Maine. A retired ship master himself he
can tell after he looks a man over whether
he will suit Yankee captain or not. Mr.
Ii. z. Brown also has fine roomy office
at No. %. He returned to New York last
Saturday and speaks encouragingly of his
new patent lime kilns at North Islesboro
and of the fine quality of lime produced
there. Among the captains now in port
from Rockland, Thomaston, Camden, Bel
fast and Islesboro are-Capts. Campbell,
Burnett, Fountain, Arey, Faucett Nelson.
Achorn, Written, Aylward, Crockett,
Darby, etc., and if you can find one of
them at Uncle Wash S, as they call Capt.
Frisbee, you can find the whole shooting
match in short order. A good many cap
tains are chartering for Cuba and Porto
Rico, and the amount of machinery going
that way is immense-engines, boilers,
building material, all kinds of provisions,
and lots of small steam and naptha
launches; and down east captain can al
ways get charter.
Well, how is my old friend Horatio J.
Locke? l hope he is we'll. He is an old
timer among you boys, and you want to
take good care of him, too.
l am glad to notice the improvement to
be made at Gilkey's harbor. l don't be-
lieve there is more beautiful harbor of
its size, or safer, in the world, and Capt.
Farrow has known this fact for life time;
and that is just about as long as have
known him. He always was a keen OBJ
server of nautical affairs and quite his
torian.
Old Belfast bay has many beautiful at
fractions which we appreciate more and
more every day, but as I begin to think
some other fellow might want to say a
word in your valuable columns / will cut
this off short.
Your old friend,
JOHN F. GOULD.

drive or promenade on certain afternoo..

drive or promenade on certain afternoons
of the week, to the music of military
bands. To get general idea of the snr-
roundings, you should climb to the ton Of
Reservoir Hill, the only commanding point
in the vicinity, from which the citv
stretches west couple of miles, while
countryward are the plantations with their
neat villas and white walled sugar mills
fields of following cane and scattered
groups of palms. A large proportion of
the inhabitants of Cienfuegos speak Emo
lish, and for years past fully nine tentbs
of its commerce has been with the United
States. Yet until lately bull fighting was
the favorite amusement, and as everv
where else in Spanish America, Sunday
was, and still is, the gala day of the
week, distinguished from the other six
days of native dolce far nente by the
universal DOMINIC of best clothes, in
creased activity of billiard and drinking
saloons, boisterous masquerade process
sions, open-air, daylight dancing, noisy
persistency of lottery vendors, cock-fight-
ing, bull-baiting and theitheatre Every
body to the manner born begins the festive
day religiously, with mathis, confessional
and mass; but the accommodating clergy
get through all that by 10 a. m., leaving
plenty of time for advertisements.
Three considerable rivers, the Canudo,
Saludo and Danaii, empty into Cienfuegos'
spacious bay, where the navies of the
world might rendezvous in safety: and
each of these rivers is navigable some dis
lance inland-a matter of great impor-
lance in country SO destitute of good
roads. Between this city and Santiago to
the eastward and Trinidad on the west
as well as in other mountainous districts
of Cuba, the trails, from time immemor-
ial, have been infested with banditti, who
plumber both the natives and foreigners,
soldiers and civilians. There are many
instances, even within the last ten years,
of travellers being captured by Knights of
the Road and held for ransom. Terrible
stories are told of the tortures inflicted up
on those whose friends failed to pay
promptly the sum demanded. Perhaps a
finger, an eye, or an ear of the captive
would arrive by special post, as gentle
| hint to the relatives of what would be like
ly to happen unless the money was quickly
| forthcoming; followed by other portions
of the hapless victim, until it was known
beyond doubt that there was not enough
left of him to be worth paying for.

The Philippines Commission.

President Mckinley has shown excellent
judgment in his selection of the commits
sion to inquire into the political condition
of the Philippine islands and suggest a
plan for their future government by the
United States. At the head of this is
President Schurman of Cornell University,
and other members of it named are Ad-
miral Dewey, Prof Worcester Of Ann
Arbor University, in Michigan, and Maj
Gen. Gus of the army. 1t is a liberal
commission, for President Schurman is
understood to be inclined against the pol
icy of taking the islands. But no man is
better fitted to investigate and present the
facts with regard to the Philippines thar
is he, and this is apparently what Presi
dent Mckinley considers most important

Tributes to Mr.. DingIey.

The public will have to wait for the
congressional eulogies to Congressman
Dingley to learn fully how much he was
esteemed among his associates. In the
mean time, those that come from the press
are remarkable. We remember no instance
in public life-not excepting that so re-
Gently realized in the case of Senator Nor
rill-where public man was more spon-
taneously and heartily praised than this
representative from Maine. A pronounc-
ed partisan always, and steadily distanc-
ing in his progress to distinction the most
of his party friends, he had no enmities
among his political opponents, and no en-
wings among his political associates. He
won his way to fame by genuine deserv-
ing, and in attaining it he never wounded
the feelings of any of his contemporaries,
or sought to push others aside to promote
his own ambition. 1t is difficult to re-
member an instance of one in high posi-
ton who exhibited fewer of the weak
nesses of humanity there than did Nelson
