HOW SPANISH" PAY" SOLDIERS
Remit to the Coionels and These Officers
do" the Rest.

Remit to the Coioneis and These Oficers
"Do" the Rest.
Spanish army accounts are strange
ly and wonderfully made. From their
absence of exactness and disregard OF
all detail one would certainly be lead
to believe that the bookkeeping de-
partment OF the Madrid war Office has
few clerks in it's employ. A certain
amount of money is allowed to each
regiment and charged i'll gross to the
colonel, who is solely responsible for
its disbursement. According to an ex-
planation made recently by the Mar
quis of Montoro, secretary of the treas
urer in Havana, this lump sum Of
money covers the entire expenses OF
the regiment, from uniforms and
equipment to soldiers pay. Each regt-
and paymaster. He practically sells
to his soldiers at his own price every
thing that they have while they are
in the service Of Spain. The pay of
a common soldier is about So in gold
per month. Against this is charged
whatever he wishes to buy. For ex-
ample, suppose a soldier needs new
pair of shoes, he makes his wants
known to the colonel, who hands him
pair and takes SO or S4 out of his
wages. The shoes may not have cost
the colonel more than $3.50, which he
paid for out of the regimental funds.
Out of one of his own men, who has
left home and family and everything
for his country, he has made 100 per
cent, by turning over government cap
ital.
When the time for final settlement
comes the soldier is quietly told that
there is nothing to his credit on the
books of the regiment; that his
great and good government has taken
care of him for three years, and has
allowed him the privilege OF fighting
for 1t, and that If he doesn't have d
proper sense of gratitude he is base
traitor, who isn't worthy to be called
Spaniard, an argument which has
heretofore worked very we'll But this
is not all the trouble. Each regiment
is charged with considerable sum OF
money for hospital services, and the
colonel deducts a proportionate per-
centage from each soldiers pay for
that purpose. Another percentage is
deducted for what in Spanish book
keeping is called "incidentals."

New York, March 1.-The stock mar
ket displayed weakness, particularly in
the grangers, Paci1cs and specialties,
practically all day, with but incidental
rallies. There was an appearance of
| support in certain stocks in the final
dealings, which caused fairly steady
close, although the grangers We're still
under pressure. There was no news to
account for the decline. except for a
| firmer tone to money, call rates touch
| ing 3R, attributable to call issued pre-
| limnary to the settlement between the
Central Pacific railroad and the govern
ment.
| The easier tone in money indicated
| that an increased demand for money
might contract the volume Of Ameri-
can funds now loaned abroad. There
were denals from bank officials of the
current assertion that undue discrimi-
nation was being exercised against the
industrial collateral. Selling orders ap-
peared from Boston and Chicago houses
and London, while trading both ways

coucheS, enough to accommodate an
army, are ranged in prim rows against
every wall; and here and there in the
vast eXpanse of bare sala a small square
| rug is spread, with two rows of Ameri-
can rocking chairs set vis-a-vis upon it.
Every corner is religiously occupied by
a triangular claw footed table laden
with little wooden saints, glass balls,
china vases and other bric-a-brac.
Splendid paintings-mostly scriptural
subjects, suitable for churches-adorn
the walls; and there are many quaint,
massive, deliberately pieces OF
furniture, brought long ago from France
or Spain which in the United States
would be considered of priceless value.
The patio, or inner court, is truly "a
joy forever" with its tall fountain
sprinkling the passion that sur
sound it, and gold fish darting among
the turtles in its marble basin. The
broad space is unroofed except for the
covered trellises; and under the
cool shadows of it's banana and pome-
granate thickets, great red ollas of po-
rous clay, shaped like the oil-jars of
Egypt, contain filtered water for the
family table.
Most of these big casas have two pa
tics, the second used for stable-yard and
servants quarters. Like all Cuban
kitchens--so-calle of mine host
ess is a corner of this back court,
hanked by stamping mules and horses
on one side, carriage and store-rooms on
the other. It's floor of rough bricks Is
raised foot above the ground, and
there is no need Of windows and doors,
for the entire front is open to the patio.
1t contains no article of furniture, not
even a chair or table. A long adobe
shelf outside answers the latter pur-
pose, and when the servants sit, as they
are continually doing. their bare feet
and legs form black fringe along the
step formed by the slightly elevated
floor. An adobe bench, built against the
farther wall of the kitchen, is topped
with porcelain tiles and has several
holes in it for charcoal fires. As char
coal is the universal coolSing-fuel of the
country, and is very expensive, every
body must economize it, and therefore
these odd ranges serve the needs of the
country better than any other kind.
American stoves would be altogether
out of place on account of their waste
fulness, as well as the intolerable heat.
Gas stoves are out Of the question.

Stirred Up a Hornet.

When General Miles stated before
the Investigating committee that
the beef furnished to the soldiers
to eat, at Santiago, by Commissary
General Egan was embalmed in
stead of being refrigerated, he did
not look to get roasted by General
Egan in the manner the general
did, when his turn came to testify.
Eagan, while testifying, said of
General Miles: That he was a
liar, who lied in his throat, lied in
his heart, lied in every part of his
body, who perpetrated gross scan
dal and who should be drummed
out of service and imprisoned" and
SHOULD be avoided by every honest
man and barred by every club" He
characterized his interview as
"flth."
If Gen. Miles can take this he is
good one, but then why should
these generals fall out, they all
have fat places, are getting good
salaries and they whipped the Span
iards and should be content, The

WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE
Much Damage Done In and About
the City.

We have stated in small squibs
that it rained a bit, aud now we
wish to more fully impress the fact
upon our readers as to the extent
of damage and inconvenience it has
wrought.
We visited Swampoodle in com
pauy with Mr.. A. L. Ghlo, at pm.
and found the water running over
the bridges spanning the canal and
had spread out at the foot of
Broad street from the intersection
OF Walnut to the railroad tracks on
the west. We noticed many negro
shanties under water, as was also
Rehkopf's mattress factory. There
was much rubbish ahoat.
While talking to Mr.. Chic he was
informed by a gentleman who had
passed his park, two miles out, that
the water had washed a three-foot
creyase on the west end of the dam
aud the water had wasted out
The new levee thrown up on the
east side by the Iron Mountain road
to be used as a street is badly
washed out and the bridge damaged
considerably.
At the water works station the
water has backed into the engine
room and the engineer is having
time to keep his fire burning,
A washout on the Pee Gee road a
few miles out has delayed the train
from arriving here on time, it being
reported 6 or Z hours late. This
train has Beach & Bowers Minstrels
aboard, the same billed to give
performance here to night.
There are other minor details we
could give, but this is sufficient at
this time.
