Good Work in Santiago.


Once again saw him at the beginning of
one of his great life passages. 1t was
only the other day after he had been ap-
pointed military governor of Cuba. He had
already had charge of Santiago province
for many months. Whatever there is dan
gerous in Cuba is contained in Santiago
province. Some of the population there is
unmannerly, unmanagable and half savage
The province was, when Wood took hold of
it, full of bandits, whose special mission
was the footing of property and the de-
struction of human life The years of the
insurrection had permitted organized bands
of these robbers to grow up, and the days
of the Spanish war encouraged them and
made them more dangerous than ever,
When 1 asked General Wood the other
day what had become of the bandits he
told me that they had ceased to be from
blesome. I knew what this meant, II
meant that they were either dead or tailed
1t meant mostly that they We're dead
He is a man of few words.
He Is a man Of quick action.
He Is man who never becomes excited.
or If he does it Is never shown
That is the kind of man Leonard Wood
Is, and he is now military governor of
Cuba.
There Is opposition to his appointment

INDIANS DRIVE AWAY. A SEALING
SCHOONER.

Astoria, Ore.-The sealing schooner
Kate and Ann. nineteen days. from
Alaska, was spoken by the pilot
schooner San Jose Wednesday last off
the mouth of the Columbia. Her OBJ
5ective point had been one of the small
islands in Alaskan waters known to be
breeding ground for seals, but out
side of the prescribed limits.
AS the schooner approached the ISL
and seals by the thousands were seen,
but as she was about to drop anchor
and put out her boats twenty canoes
filled with armed Indians, came out
from the shore and ordered the
schooner away. Captain Johnson tried
to argue the question, but the Indians
were armed and he hastily lifted anchor
and got away after several shots had
been fired. The Kate and Ann is
bound for San Francisco.

Our railroads are In much better
physical condition than they were ten
years ago. and this fact counts in great
measure for the decreased casualties
to passengers. but it is still fearfully
large. We brag of the superiority of

but there is one thing in which the
European railroads surpass ours very
far-the better protection of their pas

In the oldest and greatest of our uni
versities the expenses of the work done
are not by any means met by the fees
received from students, although these
are large in comparison with the
charges Of other institutions of like ma
ture. 1t is the constant flow of gifts
from men who appreciate the value to
the country Of the work done by great
universities which keeps them strong
and progressive and enables them to
give their students such advantages as
are expected and enjoyed. The youth
you takes q course at any good Amer
lean college or university makes q sad
mistake If he imagines that he pays his
way and incurs no obligation to the in
stitution which has given him Its op-
portunities for self-culture and useful
ness. he Is debtor to generous and
good men and women, living and dead
