A CLYDE STEAMER DISABLED.
The Oneida's Propeller Shaft Breaks
Near Atlantic City,

Atlantic City, n. j., Aug. 24.-The Clyde
steamship Oneida, Captain Staple, lies at
anchor off this city with her propeller shaft
broken, after weathering out the recent
hurricane off Cape Hatteras.
The steamer was bound from Whining
ton, N. c., to- New York, and was due
Tuesday. Chief Mate Grant Bunnell, an
assistant engineer and four seamen rowed
ashore this afternoon and telegraphed for
wrecking tugs. The Merritt, from New
York, and the Pioneer, from the Break
water, arrived later.
Before leaving for New York Mate Bun
nell said the accident to the propeller oc-

when fifteen miles southeast of Absecon

snapped, leaving the propeller useless
Captain Staples anchored at once, and at
10 o'clock the landing party left the yes
sci, reaching shore five hours later.
Bunnell said Captain Staples had laid
over at Wilmington on learning of the
hurricane. Believing its reported speed of
forty miles day would take it far ahead
of his vessel, he remained there but one
day. The hurricane overlook the Oneida
near the Frying Pan lighthouse. High
seas swept the decks clean, and the deck
rails from amidships aft were torn away.
The Oneida carried general cargo, but
no passengers.

Consul General De Leon, of Guayaauil.
Ecuador, has made an extensive report
to the State Department on the culture of
cacao in the country. After describing the
methods of cultivation, the conditions of
labor, and the cpst of production, Mr. De
Leon says: "The possibilities of the cacao
market are vast The consumption has

some day become important consumers.
Chocolate is scarcely known in Oceanica.
the British colonies or Hawaii. Even
Europe, Russia, Turkey, and Greece are
but recently becoming familiar with the
product. AS there has always been a
ready market, no special effort has been
made to extend the demand to new coun-
tries.
'The consumption of cacao is increasing
at the rate of or per cent annually, and
inside of eight or ten years the demand
will be greater than the supply. All that
is necessary is capital and energy, which
will be welcomed, and which will surely
come when the railway to Quito is built.

tempting returns.

The south Ignored.


When the Administration was making prepara-
lions TO invade Cuba last year there were thous-
ands of Southern troops available. These men,
being in a measure acclimated, would have been
more serviceable than such regiments as
the Seventy-frst New York or the Mich
igan Volunteers They were palpably ig-
nored, however, and the State troops
which were used to supplement the little
army OF regulars were composed exclusively of
Northern and Western men. General Wheeler was
given command, but he was subordinate TO a
general to whom lac could have taught the art of
war, and whose knowledge of military operations
on large scale was exceedingly limited Fitz-
hugh Lee, whose services rs consul general at
Havana had beeen of the greatest value to the
Government, sidetracked and placed in
charge of camp of instruction, and the South
was not permitted 10 take an active part in the
war, despite the fitness and eagerness of South
eTn troops TO go to the front.
