THE RICHEST ON EARTH.
Gen. Fitzhueh Lee Talks About
Cuba and Its Wonderful Fer
tility-WOrds of Caution.


st. Louis, Dec. 25.-Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, commaiding the department of
the Missouri, during his recent visit
to st. Louis, was the guest of the
University club, and, in the course of
an impromptu speech, had something
to say about Cuba.
Cuba. he declared, was the richest
island on the face of the earth, hav-
ing a soil 30 feet deep, and as good at
the bottom as on top. For tobacco and
sugar raising it had no equal any
where, He described its stragetic po-
sition, standing like an armed SEN
tinel across the gulf of Mexico" with
a space of only about ninety miles to
Yucatan, and the same distance to
Key West. In the hands of strong,
hostile power, the comparatively
short space on either side could be
covered by line of battleships, and
the commerce of the gulf, of the Nj
caraguan canal, and of the mighty
Father of Waters, as well as the coast
cities of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas would be at the
mercy of the enemy. England owns
the railroads and Germany the to-
bacco factories of the island, and let
civil war arise between the natives.
as might be the case were the United
States troops withdrawn tomorrow;
let them burn one railroad bridge or
tobacco warehouse belonging TO a
British or German subject, then those
nations might take notion to inter
fere, and it would be difficult prob
lem for the United States to face.

SERIOUS FIRE AT JOLIET.
The Fox Pressed steel Car Works NJ
Joliet, ILL.,, Nearly De-
stroyed by Fire.

Joliet, H., Dec, 25,-The Fox
pressed steel car works, one Of the
largest industries in Joliet, was near
ly destroyed by fire. The plant con
tanned much costly machinery, which
is more or less damaged. The loss
will reach many thousands of dol
lars.
1t is impossible TO get definite fig
urcs on the loss of the Fox plant. Of
ficials say they can make no estimate
at this time. 1t is thought all the
costly machinery, valued at 100000
Is ruined. The burned building can be
replaced for about $4,000.
There Is some insurance, but the
figures on this nre all at Pittsburgh,
at the headquarters of the company
and eau not be obtained here. The
mills employed nearly 500 men.

STRIPES HAVE DISAPPEARED.
Not n Prisoner In the Indiana

Now Wearing stripes.

Jeifersonville, Ind, Dec. 27.-For
the first time since prison was locat-
ed in this city not a prisoner in the
reformatory is wearing stripes, the
uniform of the lowest grade. When
the old prison south was transformed
into the Indiana reformatory, three
grades of standing were established,
the first designated by a gray suit,
hardly dstinguishable from citizens
clothing; the second, check suit,
without repulsive appearance, and
the third, black and white stripes.
None but those refusing TO obey pris-
on rules have been nttired In stripes
for a long time. Tuesday there were
81 men who had on zebra-likc cloth
ing, and Superintendent Hert decided
TO advance these TO second grade.

THE RETURNED CANADIANS.
Col. otter Reaches Toronto, Ont, and
Talks About the Services of
His Command.

Toronto, Ont, Dec. 27.-Col. otter
and a number Of officers and men OF
the first Canadian contingent, which
did such excellent service in South
Africa, have arrived here after an alb
sence of IA months.
Col. Otter said that the Royal Ca
nadians reached South Africa 1000
strong, and after six months service
were asked whether they would con
tinue in the service or desired to re-
turn home. 70 man the regiment,
then reduced through arduous service
to $50 men, decide to serve six months
longer. At the end of the twelve
months service the Canadians were
again asked to make a choice.
Three hundred of the 600 on duty
decided to return,as the war was then
considered to be over by those in the
field, and their old situations were,
in almost every instance, awaiting
them. The others decided to remain
some time longer, and did remain UNI
til it became apparent that the cam
paign had reached a guerrilla stage,
when they also decided to return.
The present operations in South At
RIGA, the colonl considered, would not
last long. In spite of the alarming re-
ports and the operations of a guar
lila nature, he did not consider that
there was any room for a serious view
of the situation.
In conclusion he pointed out that,
from first to last, there were 947
casualties in his command out of a
total of 1000, but many of the men
were. of course, able to resume serv-
ice after a few days treatment in the
fald bOcpito1c

Details of the Deal are Not Obtainn-
bile mt Washington.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Details are
not obtainable here of the placing of
an order by the sultan, with the
Cramps, for warship, but it is UNI
derstood that the statement TO that
effect from Constantinople is correct.
From the character and size of the
ship ordered il is believed that the
contract will involve the payment by
the Turkish government to the
Cramps OF about S2,500,000, which
should afford an ample margin for the
settlement Of any proper claims
against the Turkish government.
