Beef Cattle in Demand.

Newport News paper. These

the subject of beef and the beef
trust. II shows that the meat
dealers are compelled to buy OF
the trust, because there are no

says:

The port of San Luis d'Apra was de-
populated during the smallpox epi-
iemic of 1859, not hut being left to
show where the town stood; and had
not one of the native pilots been fish
ing, two miles off shore, we might have
wasted considerable steam before we
could have summoned one from Agana,
four and a half miles away. The island
ers were not expecting our arrival for
another two weeks at least.
We anchored safely, however, in IL
fathoms of water, and presently saw
boat putting off from the landing pier.
The senorita and l were leaning over
the rail near the accommodation lad
der when the party pulled alongside,
and we noticed with considerable in
terest that there were two ladies
among them. The first gentleman to
come aboard we judged, by his gold
laced uniform, to be the gobernador,
Col. de Garma and in thiswe were not
mistaken. The ladies, with two of his
staff, followed; and in one of them we
recognized the original OF Halstead's
picture-which, by the way, failed to
do her Justice. Then the party went
below for wine and cigars while they
chatted over port regulations, the
cargo and the latest Manila gossip.
After the formalities had been con-
| cludcd, one of the stewards was sent
on deck for the Palacios, Padre Sebas-
tiano and myself; and our cordial
greeting by the colonel's party left
nothing to be desired.
Halstead must have been telling
| Senorita Garma something about me,
| for she seemed to be making shy but
| friendly examination of my face when
| we were introduced, and when her
| father heard that I was to remain in
| Agana the hospitable manner in which
| he placed his belongings at my dis
posal was too sincere to be misunder-
| stood. Visitors from the outside world
| were at premium. | noticed that
| Senorita Palacios seemed rather pre-
| occupied during the conversation. and
| when she presently carried the colo
| nels daughter off to her stateroom-
for a mutual exchange Of gossip and
| condolences, | suppose-she must have
| dropped n few hints which opened her
| visitors eyes to certain things later.
Padre Sebastiano was more surprised
| than he cared to admit when he found
that / had accepted an invitation to re
main with the gobernador, on the
island, and Diaz also wondered why an
active Americana should wish to bury
himself In such "A place for three

tered out into the sunlight hadplenty
of food for thought. A document, for
instance, which would be utterly be-
yond my reach for consultation,
seemed to be at Sebastiano's disposal
whenever he chose to call for II. That
there had been no time for him to do
so while the steamer was in port, felt
sure; but that he might return from
Saipan at any moment was something
more than possibility.
