Everybody endorsed this praiss

$l3 a month would amass tie cap
ital to eentrol those tobacco crops.
Int the private was "a genius.
One days leave enabled him to
trace this tobacco to plantations n
the vicinity of Ponce. Only lit
tie was grown, and the only ex-
porter had taken no account Of It,
as Spanish and American ship
rnents called for crops Of older and
known plantations. It was noted
that the leaf grown on new-broken
land was used IN the "rolls." 4
fer days more leave Of absence
enabled the soldier to locate tie
new-broken farms, TO see the farm
ers and to learn OF eli who were
preparing new land for planting,
with the result that contracts wero
made which placed about al the
new growtlls Of tobacco in the IS
land under the absolute control OF
the $i3-a-month capitalist, with
contracts for several years ahead.
aEsef having everything pertaining
TO his project carefully drawn up,
copies Of contrasts and a proposi-
ton were Forwarded to his former
employer in a cigar factory at Gin

About a month after the Spanish
protoccl was signed, the comrades
Of the private were wondering at
his sudden departure from camp
and the island. It was said a

that a big fat New York draft had
been cashed for him By the

Another fine rain fell here last
night, making a total rainfall for
the day of "a of an inch, accord
ing to the rain ga5ge at Fort
Brown. The entire rainfall 50 far
this mouth at this point is Lei
inches. 1t has been much heavier
in other parts of the county.
Word was sent to Victor Egly,
ST., that the eaperal on his ranch
was seriously Ill, and he went out
yesterday morning to bring the
saan to the city for medical treat
ment. On reaching the ranch, how
! ever, Mr.. Egly found he was too
late, as the man had died, just
previous to his arrival.
The steamer did not quite, finish
unloading yesterday. It was ex=
peeted she would DO so, but the
lighter was unable to work late in
the afternoon, and the ship still
has about seven cars Of freight on
board. She was obliged to put to
sea during the night on account Of
the norther and had not yet show
ed up again.
The teachers of the public school
had their usual San Jaciuto birth
day celebration at the school house
today. As explained on former CO
casions, the teachers have. q prac-
tiee of giving a small entertainments

each member OF the faculty whose

school term, AID those whose an
niversary occurs during vacation
unite on San Jacinto day each year
IN giving a luncheon to the other
members. This is always a must
unique and enjoyable affair, and
the one given today vas doubtless
the equal in every respect of its
predecessors
Mr.. Cummings ice cream "fes-
tival' was q great success, despite
the rain storm which came up
about half past eight. The new en-
terprise Is fairly launched, and
judging from the beral patronage
which it received last evening, it
lfgnises to be moss popular. Mr..
Cummings sold ont aA-ef tie large
supply Of cream and also al OF his
soda water yesterday, and the de-
lnand would doubtless have been
much greater than he could have
filed had it not been for the bad
weather. The band proved a great
attraction. The captain viii have
the band engaged again for tomor-
row evening between seven and
ten, and hereafter expects to have
music at least once week. We,
congratulate him upon the aus
picious beginning he has made /

Brownsville. Pa, Dec. 25.-The hor-
ror of the BrazDell mine disaster grows
in Intensity with every hour. The
number of the dead is now estimated
mt forty and may pass that figure. At the
same time there is II strong presump-
ton that the laws regulating mining
Were carelessly and probably criminal
ly disregarded.
To-day the first bodies of the victims
Were brought out of the mine. and new
er in the history of mine disasters were
human beings so horribly mutilated. 1t
was nearly IL o'clock before the first
five bodies were taken out. twenty
eight hours after the explosion. AT
$3.50 three more We're brought to the
surface, and again at $50 three more
came up in the cage of the main shaft.
That naked lights and unlocked safe
ty lamps Were used in Il dangerous
mine was officially confirmed by Pit
Boss Thomas Jones, who made n state
ment which forms the most sensational
chapter o the management of the
mines which has yet developed.

Ing outside of towns or villages, but

tary camps now established. or hereaf-
ter to be established north of Sterk-

by the officer COMMUNICATIVE they
must reside until further notice, pro
viding for their own needs.
All persons found within the radius

GENERAL WOODS PLAN.
New Military Ruler VIII Begin Proposed
Reforms at Once.

Havana, Dec. 26.-General Wood
says he intends to begin work at once
upon the highways, which are greatly
in need of repair. This will also serve
to give employment to a large number
of men.
The school system will also be i'm
mediately ~reorgnnized. Alexis Frye,
superintendent of Cuban schools, will
be reinforced with two or three other
commissioners.
The judiciary will form the subject
of early attention, particularly the
jails and the existing system of keep
ing prisoners for months without trials.
| An order will issue directing that a
complete list of prisoners held for trial
be furnished monthly.
Senior Pierra says: 'If the United
States really intend to fulfill the pledge
of the joint resolution and to hand
Cuba over to the Cubans, President
Mckinley should outline the basis on
which the Cubans could work in order
to form Il government such as the
United States would consider ade-
quate. BY doing this he would confer
great benefit upon Cuba, as most of our
people are keenly DESTROYS of doing
something toward forming a govern
ment, but are ignorant as to the best
way to proceed. The leaders also diff
fer among themselves. The existing
| political parties were originally intend
ed TO educate our people in political
methods, but owing to disagreements
between well meaning politicians, err
ideas are likely to be sown In
unframed minds. These ideas must
sooner or later be eradicated."

Chicago engineers are designing an
earthquake-proof steel palace for the
crown prince of Japan. 1t will mark
the advent of American steel construc-
ton in the Mikado's land, and the i'm
perial government has appropriated
$4,000 900 for its erection. Founda-
lions are being laid with a view to
rearing the framework in February.
Around the skeleton of beams and bars
Will be built a house of granite and
marble expected to eclipse in beauty
OF design anything the orient has ever
known. The palace will adjoin the
royal home of the Mikado in Tokyo,
and 1t will spread to extreme dimen-
sions of 270 by 400 feet, rising to a
height of sixty feet. The architectural
plans partake of the French renais-
sance.

a few weeks from Iowa, was seriously
injured about the hips.
The baggage master was in the room
when the engine struck it, but was not

Chicago, Dec. GA special to the
Tribune from Norfolk. Virginia. says:
The British steamship Ariosto, Cap
tain Baines, bound for Galveston to
Hamburg, was wrecked at 4 o'clock
this morning six miles south of Hat
teras, North Carolina, and twenty-one
of the crew were drowned. Captain
Baines and eight of the crew were
saved by the heroic efforts of the Ocra-
coke life saving crew, under Captain
James Howard.
Those who lost their lives attempted
to reach the shore in n small boat,
which was swamped shortly after 1t
put off from the ship. Captain Baines
and eight men remained aboard and
were landed by the life savers In the
breeches buoy, but not until after n
struggle which lasted all day.
Wrecking tugs are on the way here
to the scene of the wreck and IL they
reach the stranded ship in time, may
save II, as the wind tonight is in the
wrecked vessels favor.

Chicago. Dec. Eff the war in the
Transvaal continues for two or three
months longer, the cause of silver will
have been Won" said former United
States Senator Dubois of Idaho, one
of the Silver Republican leaders, who
was in Chicago to-day.
The short time 1t has been in pro-
gress,'' continued Mr.. Dubois, has fur
nished proof of the contentious of the
friends of silver that there is not
enough gold in the world to form the
basis of the worlds money, and If the
war continues the length OF time 1
have indicated, the truth of this will
have become TOO apparent for sue
cessful contravention.
81 believe the Transvaal war will be
n mighty influence in the campaign of
next year in this country, and that
h object lesson will convince the
people of this country that 1t is not
safe to place on gold the entire burden
of the monetary volume of the world.
1T may be interesting to observe
that the panic in New York was stimuli
taneous with the passage of the House
gold standard bill. Now, If n panic had
followed the passage of a silver free
coinage bill the wise men and the press
of the land would have attributed 1t to
the passage of the bill"

~ III
Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 26.-At 4:25
o'clock this morning Il severe earth
quake shock was felt owe a large por'
ton of southern California, the undu-
lations lasting about twelve seconds.
The entire center of the shock ap'
peared to have been mt Sui Jacinto, n
small town in Riverside country. The
business portion of San Jacinto con-
sists of two blocks of two-story build
ings, some of which are built of brick.
Ten or fifteen buildings We're damages,
chimneys being toppled owe IL walls
cracked and shaken. The total damage
at San Jacinto and Hemit, Il small
town near by. is estimated at $4,000.
A large tourist hotel Mt Hemit was
damaged and the hospital mt a ia
cinto also suffered. The rear wall Of
the Johnson block at Hemit fell.
The only loss of life so far as known
was Mt the Saboba Indian reservation,
near San J%acinto, where six squaws
We're killed by falling walls. A num-
Der of Indians We're seriously injured.
In this city no damage was done
though the shock was particularly VIC
lent. The houses here are well filled
with eastern tourists and they were in
many instances terrified at the unex-
pected disturbances and rushed from
their rooms in n fright.
