TEoFIT CHACON, FORMERLY CUBAN EXECU-
TONER, NOW IN PRISON FOR ROBBERY.
Teofto Chacon (by some called Truncon),
Antonio Lopez and Damien Rodriguez.
Dieguez, who is confined in the same
cell where Lieutenant Hobson was held a
prisoner, has the general reputation of be-
ing the ringleader.
For some time after Spanish sovereignty
ceased in the island the new army of occu-
patton was deluged with reports of out
RACES of every description. This necessi-
tated the sending of troops into the in
terror, and then the reports proved to be
only too we'll founded.
Near San Luis a government packer was
shot down in cold blood.
Thu Santa Anna coffee plantation, the
largest in eastern Cuba, was raided, the
place ~plundered Of plate,s coin and even
furniture and the buildings burned.
Harry Ransden, son of the late British
consul at Santiago, was called out of a
store at Moron by a band of 20 armed
men, who demanded that he give them
$500, which he had drawn in the morning
at Santiago. They got the money and
then packed nearly all the goods in the
store on horses and disappeared in the hills.
Similar occurrences had taken place all
over Santiago province unchecked when
General Wood took the matter in hand.
In a week s of the bandits were killed
and 80. captured. Twenty-six of these are
now in irons at Santiago, carefully guard
ed by United States troops, who have or
ders to shoot any one of them at the slight
EST attempt to escape.
Perhaps the most cruel Of the lot is the
giant negro Teoito Chacon, or, as some
say, Truncon, who was the official execu-
toner for Antonio Maceo during the
Cuban rebellion. 1t has been said, and
the truth of it is admitted by Chacon HIM
self, that he has put to death with his
own hands no less than 1853 prisoners.
1t is said that with his powerful wrists
he would sometimes pull out a prisoners
tongue. Before t~orturing them he would
first bind their elbows securely with ropes.
Others were laid on the ground, tightly
bound and garroted.
The bandit is a giant in stature, with
steel corded muscles and powerful frame,
and strikingly reminds of the Lygian
hero in "Quo Vadis" who twists the
head from the aurochs.
The system now adapted by General
Wood to suppress bushwhacking is to scat
ter throughout the province small detach-
ments of troops, ~stationing them at the
large sugar and coffee plantations or in
small villages and towns, with reliefs of
large forces in the main cities, who can
proceed by quick marches to any threat
ened point.
The whole country from Gibara to Hol-
gum, from Baracoa to Guantanamo and
from Caimanera to Santiago and Mama
Milo, is thus guarded, and, although there
is a rather long record of outlawry to wipe
out, there can be no doubt but that under
the present system the United States will
be able to close the final chapter and clear
forever from the pages of the western
world this last stain of the Spanish regime.

DUEL WITH P~lTcHFORkS.
How Two Chicago Milkmen Settled
Business Difference.

How Two Chicago Mflkmen Settled q
Business Difference.
Modern weapons nave taken from man
many of his instructive weapons, but in
time of need he seems to reach for a sub
stitute, for spear or club, just as his an
cestors of the stone age might have done.
This instinct is given as the reason for q
fierce duel which was recently fought in
Chicago.
Horace Scott and Edward Edmond,
rival milk dealers, quarreled over the
right Of way in an alley. Scott, a negro,
picked up a pitchfork and threatened his
white rival, saying that he would spear
him if HI did not move his team.
Zikmond ran into a stable and returned
with another pitchfork. Then began a
fierce battle between the men, each trying
to stab the other with the sharp tines.
The handle of the white mans weapon
was shorter thar that welded by Scott,
and the negro forced the advantage.
Suddenly Edmond turned and ran.
Scott had hardly begun to jeer at the sup
posed retreat when the white man wheel
ed. poised his pitchfork as a harpooner
might a spear and launched it full at the
negro.
Scott had no. time to dodge. The weap-
on flew true, and one of the prongs of
the fork passed through his heart. In
spite of the wound he was able to with
draw the fork and walk into a stable be-
fore he died.

How We
Paid Spain.

Uncle Sam concluded a little business
transaction with Spain the other day.
He paid over to the representative OF
the Ions a snug little stun of $40, 600, DOC
in consideration of certain unpacified
Pacific islands Known, as the, Philip
pine group.
A real estate deal of such proportions
has seldom been recorded, but it was
lone with no more fuss and feathers
than some people would lug into the
purchasing Of two acres of meadow
land. Here is the way it was iona:
The preliminary negotiations having
been settled, United States Treasurer
Roberts received from the superintend-
ent of the bureau of printing and en-
craving four very artistic sheets about
as large as a sheet of note paper opened
out flat.
Each of these sheets was a warrant
for $4,000, 900, made payable to Spain.
Treasurer Roberts affixed to these val
liable pieces of paper his familiar sig
nature, which you nay see on n 81
silver certificate. Then he called a clerk
and sent them over to the office of Sec
rotary Hay.
Secretary Hay in turn notified M.
Cambon, the French ambassador, that
he was ready to conclude that little
bargain which had been. agreed pom in
Paris. The ambassador, who has been
acting as a go between for US since the
beginning of hostilities with Spain,
walked down to the state department
and produced his authority from the
Spanish government to receive the
money.
Secretary Hay glanced at the docu-
ments and handed them owe for filing.
Then he gave M. Cambon the four S.
900, 600 warrants. M. Cambon then sign
ed four receipts for the whole amount.

Cupfd,s odd Devices.

A famous performer on the trapeze pro-
posed to his wife when they were swing
ing in midair from the same bar, and in a
recent shipwreck an Australian named
Hammer was so much struck by the cou
age and beauty of a young governess who
escaped in the same boat as himself that
before they were rescued he had secured
her promise to be his wife.
One of the most ingenious devices ever
resorted to by a bashful swain secured a
charming wife for Prince (afteryeard czar)
Nicholas of Russia. The young prince
was so snitten by the beauty of Princess
Charlotte, daughter of his host, Frederick
William III of Prussia, that he determined
to lose no time in making her his wife.
During a court dinner, when he wa
seated next to his prospective bride, he
took a ring from his finger and, burying
it in a p zee of bread, passed it to her un-
seen. The hidden messenger of Cupid did
its work well, for when the young prin-
cess rose from the table she was wearing
the ring which pledged her to the future
czar.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

BISHOP or PORTO RICO.


Father 9LcEk CT the Mnrtst Or0er
soon to BE PreInte There.
Right Rev. James II. Blenk. the new
Roman Catholic bishop of Porto Rico, is
a member of the Mafist order. He is a
native of New Orleans and is AZ years
old. Father Blenk has had a wide ex-
p~erience in church work which will be
valuable to him in his new field of la
Dor.
1t was not until he had finished his
education in northern colleges that he
esolved to study for the priesthood.
He entered Jefferson college, st. James
parish, La, where he taught about three
years. He then went to France, where
he distinguished himself in the study
of philosophy. Entering the Marist
novitiate at Lyons, he completed a pro-
stationary period and was sent to Dub
lin for a course of study in science and
higher mathematics at the Catholic
University OF Ireland.
From there he went to st. Mary's
college, Dundalk, Ireland, where he &C.
cupied the chair of mathematics. after
ward returning to the Marist house of
studies in Dublin, where he completed
his theological studies, with high hon
ors. He was ordained a priest in 1885
and a few months later returned to
Louisiana to labor among his own peo-
pie as professor in Jefferson college.
Six years afterward he was made pres
ident of that Institution.
In 1897 he took charge of the Church
of the Holy Name of Mary in Algiers.

UNITED STATES TREASURER Sci SIGN
ING SPANS WARRANTS.
One of these hi will keep, another will
be sent to Mr.. Storer, our new minister
to Spain; a third will go to Mr.. Porter,
our ambassador to France, and he
fourth was for fling in the treasury
department.
ThatSwas all. M. Cambon folded up
the sheets which represented a royal
fortune, put them in a cardcase and
dropped the case into his inside coat
pocket. Then he sat down n chatted
with Mr.. Hay a few moments, incl
denta1ly touching on the probabilities
of the Washington baseball team win
ming another game.
No d~ignitaries were present at this
meeting with the exception of those
mentioned. There were, however, some
enthusiastic and ambitious p~hotogra-
piers, who pressed the button with
feverish energy.
S~hadowing the photographers was a
secret service officer, who made most Of
the button pressing null n void by
watching the negatives developed n
Selling those on which appeared repro
auctions of the warrants. 1t is against
the law of the land to reproduce by
Photographic or other process any of
the money which Uncle Sam issues,
and while no one would think of trying
to pass a $50 900 treasury warrant,
counterfeit or otherwise, the secret
service sleuth hounds intend to take no
chances.
These treasury warrants are payable
in gold, but instead of cashing them in
this country the Spanish government
has arranged to swap them for bills of
exchange. Thus there will be no neces-
sity for taking a vast amour of gold
bullion across the ocean.
But his transaction seems small in
deed compared with the Franco-Ger-
man settlement which followed the
great war between those tNo nations.
BY the treaty of May 10, 1871, France
agreed to pay Germany an indemnity
of just fifty times that amount, or ST.
600, 900, 600.
Says George II. Roberts, director Of
the mint, iii writing of this in a recent
article: about $4o0, o00, 900 was to be
paid within one year and the remaining
$500, 200, 900 on March 2, 1874. The total
stock of coin in France at hat time
was estimated at little more than ST.
600, 000, coo; hence it was supposed that
France would lose practically her en-
tire store of metallic money.
"As a matter of fact, only $14S,47 SIS
was paid in coin and bank notes, and
$S49, 65S, 2g3 was settled in bills of ex-
change. This included the interest due.
"To provide funds the French gov
eminent made two loans, a~ggregating
a little over the above total. The bulk
Of these loans was placed at home,
with the French people, n of the
rentes (bonds) sold abroad it was call
culated at the close of 1874 that prac-
tically all had returned to France and
become the property of Frenchmen.
Great as was the achievement of the
French people in thus absorbing in
three years government securities
amounting to 81, 1000, 600, 600, it is worthy
Of remark that the American people
surpassed it in the summer of 1898. when
in response to one Invitation to take

subscribed for over 81, 400, 900, 900,

M Inv DOAs
thus transfer his steering power from
the place h he is standing-on ship
or shore-to his torpedo.
He transmits his motor power by
means of rays of light, and the light
which he transmits from his control
ling, or steering, apparatus on shore to
the torpedo attachment Is there trans
muted into electrical induction.
In other words, his invention is a new
means of transmitting electrical power
sufficient to control the steering gear of
a torpedo, and the whole apparatus,
apart from the price of the torpedo, will
cost only about G220.
The Orling-Arrnstrong torpedo glides
along at the rate of about two and
twenty knots at a depth of ten feet be-
low the surface Of the water. The re-
ceiving rod, which is the visual bond of
connection between the torpedo and the
transmitting station, or steering point,
is a foot out of water, though this ele-
walton may be made greater according
to need.
Mr.. Orling claims indeed to do any
thing with his torpedo within his visual
area, which may be Immensely enlarged
by taking his standSon an elevated posi-
ton, say the cliffs of Dover, which
command a view of all the channel to
the very shore of France, and even
darkness cannot interfere with his de-
sign. BY means of an electric lamp
surrounding the rod projecting out of
the water, with its shade always turned
toward the enemy, he can still mark the
will-o'-the-wisp whereabouts and direct
the course of his torpedo better almost
than in the glare of full day. In this
way none Of the Orling-Armstrong tor
pedoes can ever get lost and prove a
subsequent danger to fortuitous sea-
farers.
Another of it's features is that the
controllers of it's course have also COM
plete power over the moment of its ex-
plosion, so that it can be made absolute
ly ~innocuous should it strike the wrong
object.
There is nothing visionary about this
scheme, so the London papers declare.
King Oscar of Sweden says he has seen
Mr.. Orling steer a torpedo for W or
three miles, and a recent trial of the APP
paratus made in the Thames was wit
messed by thousands of persons, among
them many naval experts.
Mr.. Orling claims that he can apply
the same principle to ar ocean liner
with like results, although it can be
seen that this application would not be
a useful one.
The young mar who apparently has
found a way to put the navies of the
world at his mercy is tall, beardless and
of simple ann He is only go years
old, but from a boy he has been a deep
student of matters electrical. He has
associated with him in introducing his
invention Mr.. J.. 7. Armstrong, the
English torpedo inventor, it is quite
probable that if his apparatus can do
what is claimed it will soon be adopted
by the English admiralty.
"whaur's yer Wully Shakspere o ?'
once asked an exultant Scotsman of the
English.
where's your Gustav Zede now2"
the English will soon be asking of the
French.

NaVieS At
His Mercy.

The English admiralty is investigat-
Ing a new and wonderful torpedo which
promises to make that much Wanted
submarine terror of the French, the
Gustav zede, a veritable back number.
1t is the invention of Alex Orling, a
young Swedish electrical engineer. BY
applying much the same principle
which Marconi uses in his wireless
telegraphy Inventor Orling is able to
control the movements of an Armstrong
torpedo not only for a distance of a few
hundred feet, but as far as he can see it
with a telescope. In doing this he uses
no wires.
Mr.. Orling's method of illustrating his
new discovery is simplicity itself, but
when seer it looks like an exhibition of
black art. Launching a submarine
Armstrong torpedo fitted with his APP
paratus, he sets up on shore a little
folding table on which he puts a small
box, connected with which are levers
and switches.
By manipulating these levers he
makes the long. lean terror of the seas
dash here and there through the water
at will. The death dealing, explosive
laden projectile seems as tractable as a
well trained hunting dog.
Swiftly, silently and Unseen, 1t plows
through the waves, its course marked
only by a little pennant stuck on the
top of a long iron rod which projects
from the top of the torpedo. 1t is made
to take any desired curse and to return
to the shore as meekly as a pointer
comes to heel.
signor Marconi cannot concentrate his
waves of energy, but Mr.. Orling claims
to concentrate his waves of light and
