REPORT BY WILSON.
Information Regarding Two Prov
inces of Cuba.
SOCIAL CONDITIONS AMELIORATED.
a Large Number OF Destitute People to Be
Cared for and a Great Need for
ROads-Draft Animals
Wanted

Washington, Sept. 1S.-The war de-
partment made public yesterday the
abstract of a report from Gen. James
ii. Wilson, commanding the provinces
of Matanzas and Santa Clara. Gen.
Wilson gives a large amount of statis-
teal information regarding the prov
inces and their products which will be
of interest to Americans intending to
do business in the island. He SAYS
that the social conditions have been
much ameliorated since the American
occupation, but that there are still
large number of destitute to be cared
for and there is a great need for roads.
These will facilitate communication
between the important towns and
allow the freer movement of
staple products, such as sugar
and tobacco, which is now almost
interdicted by the lack of anything ex-
cept the poorest sort of pack trails. He
says that railroad building will be
cheaper than making wider roads and
recommends one to connect Sancti
Spiritus with Placetas. He says that
this road could be built for $1O,O 600 a
mile, a distance of 40 miles. He SAYS
that there are other roads which are
very much needed, and there is also
Necessity LOT d Dr1OS0 over the river
Danuji, one of the largest rivers in the
island, which is navigabIe between
Rodas and the Bay of Cienfuegos.
Gen. Wilson says by far the most i'm
portant product in Santa Clara is sugar
of which the province furnished in 1889
40 per cent. of the total exports from
the island. The provinces of Santa
Clara and Mantanzas together fur
nished in 1898 81 per cent. of the total
sugar production of Cuba. The war
left in operation Al sugar centrals and
81 others not in operation but in work
ing order. About 81 were destroyed.
Gen. Wilson says the revival of agri-
culture has progressed rapidly in spite
of discOuraging circumstances. The
people are greatly in need of draft ami
mails, while pigs, sheep and fowls have
entirely disappeared. The native mules
and horses at present are the best
adapted to local use, owing to the very
bad condition of the roads, but when
this is improved he says the American
horses will be in demand.
Coffee culture has been almost aban-
doned for number of years. Consid-
cradle interest is now being taken in
it's revival. The value of sugar land
ranges from So to $50 an acre, but the
foreign investor will be at disadvan-
tage as compared with the native in
the examination of titles until respon-
sible companies are established to look
up deeds and grants.

ONE WIFE SURELY ENOUGH.
why MonOgamy Has Come to Be the,
Prevailing Matrimonial Prin-
cipIe in This Country.

Marguerite Arlina Hamm, the well-known.
traveller and author, called when in China
upon the wife, or rather the wives, of a.
great mandarin. Her visit partook of the.
nature of a festival, so novel was the ex-
perience to the Chinese women, whose lives.
are passed almost entirely within the walls
of THEN, yamen. They examined her cloth
ing. and were partly pleased and partly as
tonished at it. They were shocked by her
shoes, and especially by the fact that her
feet were not confined by bindings.
Finally one of them said, through the in
terPreter. You can walk and run just as
well as man?'
''Why, certainly"
Can you ride pony as well as man?''
''Of course"
''Then you must be as strong as most

then said; Now understand why foreign

RuFFLRs DADS DIGNITY.
His PaternaI to Feel Too
Prominent.

He is Chicago board of trade man, dig
nifed to degree, has luxuriant, bushy side
whiskers, clean chin and upper lip, and he
dearly loves baseball. He also has a son
six years old, who loves the game as dearly
as does his father, and while the elder enjoys
the playing in solid, placid, contented way,
the boy bubbles over with enthusiasm and
outroots all other rooters.
During the last Chicago-St. Louis game
father and son sat in the grand stand under
the intense strain of knowing that St. Louis
had two men on bases and two out, and Il
the man at the bat made a base hit the score
would be tied. The latter smote the ball
heavily. 1t scared upward and onward, far
back into what the baseball reporter calls.
''the left garden"
Left Fielder Ryan was there, and, after
long, hard squirt, caught the fly on his finger
tips and held it. The crowd screamed Joy
ously and the small son of his father nearly
went out of his skin for glee. The father
merely smiled with dignity.
Finally the crowd ceased its yelling after
the left fielder had DOTTED his cap thrice
There was silence as he walked to the bench
twlr!ing his blond mustache with either
hand.
Then, with his fathers clean shaven upper
lip in mind, and with a voice that drew the
attention of the assembled hundreds toward
his devoted dad, the six-year-old rooter fair
~ yelled: 90, pap, don't you wish you
had mustache like Jimmie Ryan s?''-Chi-

MEx1Co's CELEBRATION.
The illumination of the Cathedral Seen
for Thirty MiIes-The Prediction
of the Clerical Organ.

City of Mexico, Sept. 1s.-The wife
of President Diaz was unable to take
part in the national independence eel
ebrations which went off with unusual
eclat. The magnificent illumination
of the cathedral of Mexico by cleo
tricity was the cause of general admi-
ration and the great b uilding could be
seen for 80 miles away like vast
mound of blazing light in the center of
the valley of Mexico.
The new clerical organ La Luz, of
chihuahua, raises the usual cry of the
conservative party, predi citing the alb
sorption of the country by the United
States and the danger to Mexico of SO
many Mexicans who have become
Americanized in all their ideas and
which are the worst foes the father
land has.

For a New CITY in Luzon.

Agents for company of Spanish cap
italists, some of whom live in Manila,
announce that arrangements have been
completed for the building of mod
ern railroad line in Luzon that will
connect Manila with all the important
towns along the west coast of the island
as far north as Laoag. Americans in
Manila believe that a new town and
port will be established either on the
north coast of Luzon or the northern
part of the west coast of the island as
a terminal of the railroad. This would
save $50 miles sailing to Manila for
ships from the United States.

A GREAT DAY AT LINCOLN.
Nebraska's Capital Vyitnesseda Grand Sight
When Her Returning Soldiers Marched
TriumphantIy Through the Streets.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 16.-With their
torn battlefags flying and amid thun-
derous cheers from thousands, the men
who 16 months ago left the capital city
on their way to the firing line in the
Philippines marched triumphantly
through the streets of Lincoln yester-
day, forming the most conspicuous,
perhaps the greatest, military pageant
ever witnessed in Nebraska. This mill
itary parade was the browning event
of the states reception to the First
regiment. Never was more imposing
spectacle witnessed in Lincoln than
when the men of the Philippine cam
paign marched up to the state capitol
building in solid phalanx, escorted by
several thousand civil war veterans,
and followed by the Nebraska national
guard and other uniformed organiza-
tions. Here the colors of the fighting
regiment were formally returned to
state.

A wELL-KNowN MILLER DEAD.
Charles A. PIlsbury, of Minneapolis, Sue
cumbs to Heart Trouble, Principally
Caused by OVerwork.

Minneapolis. Mimi, Sept. 1e-Charles
A. Pillsbury, the well-known miller,
died in this city yesterday afternoon
at five o'clock. On account of poor
health Mr.. Pillsbury went to Europe
December /, 1898, and returned the
middle of June. Since returning he
has been a patient of DIR. Porter, of
New York, and DR.. w. A. Jones, of
this city. The physicians agreed that
he was suffering from heart trouble
caused by an enlargement of the
stomach, which in turn was due to
overwork and insufficient physical ex-
ercise. During Saturday night he
complained of great pain and physi-
clans were summoned. They remained
with him through the night and yes
terday until a short time before Mr.
Pillsbury died. He was conscious to
the end and talked to his wife and
friends who were present.

Gateway to the Golden North.

Seattle, Wash, claims pre-eminence
because of its control of the Alaska
and British Yukon trade, which makes
1T the gateway to the golden north.
For the seven months ended July 81
departures of vessels numbered 1S5 and
arrivals 154. Total shipments of mer-
chandise from Seattle were 40, 600 tons,
and the trade now amounts to about
6, 600 tons month. The value per ton
is estimated at about 500 per ton,
making the trade worth $500, 600 per
month, or $40. 900 per day. There is an
average of 25 steamers constantly in
the trade from Seattle.

SAYS He IS NOT POSTED.
COmmIssary General Weston Answers the
Colorado Soldiers Statement Regard
ing High Prices of Supplies.

Washington, Sept. -Commissary
General Weston SAYS that the soldier
of the Colorado regiment who has
found so much to criticise at Manila
evidently was misinformed about the
exorbitant prices which were being
paid for supplies in the Philippines.
Sugar is bought about 40 per cent.
cheaper than in the United States; rice
is so per cent. cheaper and a consider
able reduction is found in the prices of
beef purchased in Australia and the
prevailing prices in Chicago. The gov
eminent saves transportation on these
articles. AS to other articles which
are a part of the commissary store
bought by the department and sold to
the officers and men at cost price, Gen.
Weston says there is no possibility of
loss to the government upon them.
The commissary department does not
purchase wines except for the hospi-
tails. These are bought upon therec-
ommendation of the surgeons and the
money for them comes out of the 40
cents day allowed to each soldier in
the hospital.

Where Night Is Like Day.

CrawfOrdsvilIe, Ind, lays claim to
being the best lighted town in the
United States. The municipality owns
and operates its own electric light
plant, providing not only lights for the
streets, but also to such consum ers as
desire it for private use. A 1000 candle
power arc light was placed at every
corner in town and in the business por-
ton similar lights were placed at the
alley intersections. As the blocks in
Charlottesville are considerably shorter
than the regulation length, the city at
night presents a dazzling appearance
