A GOOD CRAB SEASON.
The PocomOke Sound Yield as PIen-
tiful as Ever.

q
tiful as Ever.
Crisfeld, Nd, Aug. 19.-For some time
ii has been thought that crabs would be
scarce this season because so many of
them were killed by the cold weather of
last winter. The fact of the matter is that
crabs are as plentiful this summer as ever
before, the season has been more profit
able than usual and the fears that the
crabs would be scarce were without foun-
dation. The destruction of so many old
crabs during the cold weather seems to
have given the smaller ones a better
chance to develop. The crabs were late
in arriving, but when they did appear in
Pocomoke Sound the like of small crabs
was never seen before, ranging from the
size of button upward. Boats could
catch from two to three thousand per day
and it took from i've. to six to make an
average-siZed crab. Grabs are here to
stay, and they could not be destroyed un-
less the seas could be drained dry.
George B. Sterling OF Crisfield, states
that after g. very cold spell some years
ago he saw dead crabs along the shore OF
Tangier Sound in windrows extending
from Great Point to Cedar Straits. There
were masses of dead crabs twelve feet
wide. After the freeze of last winter he
saw great numbers of dead crabs along
the banks of Jenkins creek and the shores
Of the sound. All the crabbers OF Crisield
could testify to the destructive effects of
cold weather upon crabs.

Orders were issued from the War Depart
ment today setting aside two large tracks
of land in the Hawaiian Islands to be used
as military reservations. The first con-
tains 1.344 acres and is situated about three
miles northwest of Honolulu. The second
is described as that portion Of Waianae
Uka, Oahn, containing II, 400 acres. situated
about nineteen miles from Honolulu and
nine miles from Pearl harboT. A minute
survey Of the reservations accompanies the
order.
1t is said to be the purpose of the United
States Government to erect barracks and
permanently garrison the two posts. They
will be used as rendezvous for troops that
may be necessary for the Philippines, after
the insurrection In those islands is put
down.
1t is argued that even after the Filipi-
nos are thoroughly subjugated it wi ! be
necessary 10 keep troops stationed
throughout the island. The climate in
the Philippines is known to be unhealthy
and the regiments stationed there will
baye to be relieved as the occasion re-
quires. II they were brought back to the
United States the time and expense will
be considerable. The climate of Honolulu
and especially where the two reservations
are to be established, is considered ex-
tremely healthy. 1t is said to be the pur-
pose of Secretary Root to transfer the
troops that are to be stationed at Homo
lulu to Manila, as the regiments at that
point require rest and relaxation from
duty. For this purpose several transports
will be especially designated
1t is also stated that Honolulu will be
made base for supplies for both the
troops stationed there and in the Philip
pines.

To Take Indians 10 Mexico.

Washington, D. c., February
2.-Elmer F. Todd, representing
a large number of the Cherokee
and Delaware Indians, was at the
Interior Department recently to
make certain inquiries in con-
nection with a project which be
has for the removal of some of
these Indians from the Indian
Territory to Old Mexico. He
wanted TO know whether the
interior department would oppose
a proposition to pay all the In
dians desiring to leave the terri
tory their pro rata of the funds of
the tribe. Acting Secretary Ryan,
with whom he talked, would not
commit himself. Mr.. Todd and
those who are interested with him
in the scheme for the removal of
the Indians have secured conces-
sions from the Mexican govern
ment for a large area of land, to be
used as a reservation for the In
dians. They are to be allowed to
have tribal government. Some
time ago a delegation of the chief
men of the fullbloods among the
Delawares and the Cherokees
went to Old Mexico, and were, it
is said, much impressed with the
desirability oflocating there under
the conditions which were offered
to them. Mr.. Todd, in speaking
to the interior department officials
of his plan, said the removal of
the Indians 10 Mexico would
rid them of the competition of the
white man in the Indian Territory,
which they are incapable of meet
ing. He will endeavor to have
bills introduced in the house and
senate giving all Indians who de-
sire to go into the colonization
scheme which he is fostering a
right to withdraw their pro rata
share Of the tribal funds.

remarkable Loss of Memory.

Writing of diseases of the memory.
a Russian doctor gives an interesting
account of some of the eecentricities
of his patients. In the case of a literary
man, some time previous to his seek
ing advice he has been troubled with
an absolute failure of memory. He
could remember exactly everything he
had done more than year ago. but oc-
currences Of later date he had entirely
forgotten. When attacked by the dis
ease he was engaged in writing rovel,
which he had half finished. He remem-
bered the first half. but could not tell
how he had intended to finish 1t. He
was at last unable to remember whether
he had dined. In another case the
patient tells Of his travels, but repeats
the tales dozen times an hour, with
the same phrases. He would play
game of cards carefully and well; five
minutes afterward he would mention
that he had not played for weeks. He
would say Good morning" when the
doctor made his first visit of the day.
but did not remember the visit three
minutes later. if the doctor again looked
in.-WsshinZton Star.

SPANIARDS AND THE 'MAINE. "
Capt. Sigsbee Tells of the DemOnstra-
tIOns Against the Vessel In
Havana Bay.

Six bulls were killed during the day.
Our party arrived as the first one was
being hauled away dead. After the
fifth bull had been dispatched, it was
decided, as a considerate measure in
favor of Gen. Parfado, that we should
leave the building and return to Ha-
vana early, so as to avoid the crowd.
We therefore left very quietly, just be-
fore the sixth bull entered the ring.
We tried to reach the ferry promptly,
so that we might return to Havana on
d steamer having but few passengers.
Three members of our party were sue
cessful in this attempt, but Gen. Lee,
Lieut.. Holman, and failed. On our ar
rival a steamer had jnst left the land
ing. We then hailed q small passen-
ger boat, and were pulled to the Maine.
While Gen. Lee and were conversing
on the quarter deck Of the Maine, a
ferryboat came across the bay. carrying
back to Havana large number of peo-
pie from the audience. There was no
demonstration of any kind. The pas
sengers were doubtless those who had
lC4N CGA y AoHlAlSB AAhC OAA AStA'NSt "
avoid the crowd.
The next ferryboat was densely
crowded. Among the passengers were
number Of officers of the Spanish
army and of the volunteers. As the
ferryboat passed the Maine there were
derisive calls and whistles. Apparent
ly not more than so people participated
in the demonstration. 1t was not gen.
eral, and might have occurred any
where. l have never believed that the
Spanish officers or soldiers took part.
II is but fair to say that this was the
only demonstration Of any kind made
against the Maine or her officers, either
collectively or individually. so far as
was made known to me, during our
visit. Adverse feeling toward us was
shown by the apathetic bearing of sol
diers when they saluted. or of trades
men when they supplied our needs.
After the Maine had been sunk, and
when the Montgomery and the Fern
were in Havana, Spanish passenger
boatment exhibited bad temper by
Withholding or delaying answers to our
halls at night. The failure of the Span
ish authorities TO compel the bOatmen
to answer our halls impressed me as be-
ing very closely akin to active unfriend-
illness 1t was at the time when the
Vizcaya and the Oquendo were in Ha-
vana, using picket boats and occasional
ly searchlights at night. apparently TO
safeguard themselves. Halls were made
sharply and answered promptly be-
tween the Spanish men-of-war and the
boats constantly plying about the har-
Dor at night. 1t must have been plain
on board the Spanish men-of-war that
the boatmen were trifling with us. This
was after the Vizcava had visited New
YOrk.-Capt. Charles d. Sigsbee. T.

Monument 70 Seunorah.

Through the solicitation of
friends and of prominent Chero-
KEGS all over the nation, Hon. Z.
NJ. Landrum of Tahlequah, has
consented to take the initiative in
a movement having for its object
the erection of a suitable munu-
ment to the memory of "Sequo-
YAH" the inventor of the Cherokee
alphabet.
This movement is peculiarly ap-
prOpriate at this time as the ma
ton will no doubt soon exist only
in memory. Sequoyah was one OF
the greatest geniuses the tribe has
produced in all the centuries of its
existence and certainly deserves
something to preserve his memory.
No more suitable person could be
selected than Mr.. Landrum, and
we hope to see him succeed. At The
proper time we have no doubt but
that Vinita will be represented
and do her part in preserving the
name and memory of the invent
or OF the Cherokee alphabet.
