THE USES OF CACAo.

tionery AS an article of food it is very
nutritious, healthful and stimulating
The butter Of cacao is well known In
medicine, and is used in the cure OF

and ground, are used for cocoa" a

products. supposed to have the same or
better qualities, have affected it's Use In
localities where it Is once known. The
active principle of cacao is theobroma,
powerful organic reagent
The possibilities of the cacao market
are vast. The consumption has not yet
begun, or at least made any Roadway,
in the Asiatic countries, among which
Japan, Persia and British India may
some day become important customers
Chocolate is scarcely known in Oceani-
ca, the British colonies or Hawaii.
Even Russia. Turkey and Greece are
but recently becoming familiar with the
product, As there has always been a
ready market, no special effort has been
made to extend the demand to new
countries.
While some progress has been made in
the utilization Of the shell and pulp. no
tempt of importance has been made
to manufacture the product for ex-
port, although there is plenty of vanilla
and sugar available for the preparation,
and the profits would be considerable.
Ecuadoran cocao, being somewhat bit
ter, has an advantage over that ofGbth-
er countries in assimilating larger
amount Of sugar in the manufacture Of
chocolate, thereby reducing the cost of
the product.
The consumption of cacao is increas-
ing at the rate Of five or six per cent
annually, and inside Of eight or ten
years the demand will be greater than

cacao on a large scale in various other
tropical countries have not been attend
ed with favorable results. In no other
part of the world can its cultivation be
brought to the fourishing condition
which prevails in Ecuador where there
is still vast extent of land suitable for
new and productive estates. All that is
necessary are capital and energy, which
will be welcomed, and which will surely
come when the railway to Quito is built,
for no line of agriculture shows such
tempting returns. South American

The romantic play of the Tennessee
mountains at Piney Ridge, returns to
the Grand opera house tomorrow for
three performances. tomorrow, Satur-
day matinee and Saturday night. The
play is not war drama in the ordi-
nary sense, it deals with the rebellion
in the reminiscent fashion, in that it
portrays some of the dire results and
cruelties of war, and appeals also to the
highest motives of patriotism but, in
it's most effective SIDE IT is play of
peace, "a story Of the Preside. Seats can
be secured by mail or telephone at
regular prices
There will be no performance at the

flying from behind the loopholes in the
Tort, and it may have been that, had
we not had our responsible officers shot
or killed before we reached the walls Of
the fort, a different story might have to
be told. AS it happened, when Captain
| Vernon with whom was Lieutenant Pa
| ton, steadied his men for the last
charge, a bullet struck him in the body.
For brief interval he stopped. but, re-
fusng the entreaty of Lieutenant Pa
| ton that he should fall out, he joined
that officer once more in taking the
lead. From the point which they had
gained the character of the fort was
| seen, and the heavy fire under which it
was defended showed it to be impreg-
nable.
1t rose some seven feet from the
ground, from the edges Of a ditch, with
sides that it was almost impossible to
climb. 1t was certain death which
stared, them in the face within twenty
five yards, but not a man was dis
mayed. They continued The ditch
was before them, the fort before them,
and through three tiers of loopholes
came the enemy's fire. ur men from
one side of the ditch fired point blank
at him. Here those who had survived
until now, were either killed Or wound
ed, and it was here that Captain Yer
non was hit again, as he, with Lieuten-
ant Patton and the scout Cooke, whose
tunic at the end of the engagement was
found to be riddled with bullets, en-
deavored to Chamber into the fort. Cap
tain Vernon and Lieutenant Patton
managed by superhuman efforts to
reach the loopholes into which they
emptier their revolvers. Their exam
pie was eagerly copied by the few who
remained, and who were shot down as
they piled their bayonets through the
apertures. Here Captain Vernon,
Lieutenant Patton. Corporal Packard,
Sergeant Boss and many others were
the head, the third wound which he had
received within two hundred yards.
Lieutenant Patonswas shot in the re-
gion of the heart. Bugler Morgan, who
was the first to ply his bayonet, was
shot in three places, but it is believed
that he will live. Then a mighty roar
rose up, and we who had not taken part
in the charge again thought that the
position had been carried. But it was
the triumphant shout of the Beers

CATION. There is no doubt that in re-
spect to seamanship. skill in gunnery
and bravery the japanese feet would
give very good account OF itself
against any force of equal strength"
ANY equal OF British naval force:
was asked.
Yes" was the reply. ITO give a
good account of oneself is not to win. y
le added.
Ny next question was aimed to draw
forth q comparison of japanese and
Russian naval power 1t was only
partially successful NO greater con-
trast can be imagined" the officer
said, than that TO be found in the en-
CINE rooms of japanese and Russian
warships. The laps keep their ships
as clean as English men-ofwar are
kept, while the Russian ships are near
~ as dirty as the Chinese vessels. The
truth is that the Japanese is a sailor,
though circumstances are against him /;
the Russian is not a sailor, although
Russian emperors since the days Of
Peter the Great have tried to make
them seamen." / may add that ii is
the opinion of all competent and IN
prejudiced observers in the east that
Russia would not stand any chance
whatever with the Japanese on the
water. On land there would be another
story to tell.
AS l have said, the maneuvers pre-
Ceding the review were kept so closely
shrouded in mystery that no one knows
anything about them. In general.
however it is understood that Il squad
ron repealed an assault in the inland
sea. attempts at torpedo boat surprises
and night attacks. The results are
said To have been highly reassuring."
This is the official phrase. At all
events. Japan has shown that she can
assemble fleet of modern ships equal
i'll every way to the combined naval
force of Russia, Germany and France
in the far east.
