was effected through the back door, there
being a slit 10 the wire of the screen door
just above the lock Nothing in the market

was not discovered until the safe was opened
Mr.. Hogan was 10 the market Sunday for a

have occurred on Saturday night, for unless
he bad opened the safe and discoveriu the

that be would have observed that the wire in

SERVING IN CUBA.
A Signal Corps Man Anxious For h. formation About the Prospects
 of Being Mustered Out

A member of The Republican staff received a letter yesterday from a member of the volunteer signal corps now stationed in Cuba dated at Cien- fuegos, Cuba, February 18th. The writer resigned a sixty-fve dollar a month position as station agent on the Erie railroad last May to enlist in the ranks for Uncle Sam. Later he was transferred to the signal corps and his letter will give some idea of what he thinks of his experience.
 He says: We have taken charge of all the cables and telegraph lines on the island now and everything is working in fine shape. I see the gov ernment cannot get operators to join the army now as they are next to their jobs. We are getting $77.40 per month at present but it costs us from $50 to S6O month to live in any kind of shape. We get $20.40 salary and $57 .OO per month for ratiOnS and quarters rms has been a fine trip for me and Of great benefit as I can now work in either Morse or Continental system of telegraphy and understand the Myers cable code to perfection. If you know anything new in regard to our being discharged let me know as I have heard nothing for month.
 "The Times of Cuba says that the united States intends to keep the sig nal men as it is impossible for the government to get such men to enlist in the regular service. It is my opin- ion the government will have to hire men as civilians to do this work as all those now here are anxious to re- turn home. It is very hot here. being lO2 to 115 degrees each day I wonder what 1t will be in July and August. I nave horse but I wish it would die. as It IS a nuisance. You cannot ride out any place as the roads around here are all cut up and if you get off the road lnto the grass and bushes you run into barb wire, a reminiscence of Wevler's trochas and horse cuts himself all to pieces on the wire. Let me know when we are to be mustered out''
