Oldest market in Havana, known as the
Plaza Nieia. 1t was secured through
thecourtesy of Mayor rerfecto Lacoste,

On March 81. 1895, at the beginning
of the last revolution. it was taken
down and thrown into the street by
Cuban named Jose Gonzalez. He was
captured after hard chase and shot
the next morning, at Cabanas, for the
crime of insulting the Spanish crown.
Seventeen years previous Spanish
colonel was detailed by the captain
general to inspect all the Spanish
property within the city limits. On
entering the Plaza Vieja the colonel OBJ
served that the crown was entangled in
cobwebs and ordered the porter of the
market to clean it. A ladder was i'm
mediately secured, while the colonel
stood under watching that the work
should be thoroughly done. and while
so directing the copper wire parted
which held the crown in position and
struck Colonel Ramon Perez Novas
over the temple. breaking his skull and
killing him, instantly. The porter was

was soon on the ground, but was
handled by others than members OF
the IRE department. The persons
bringing the engine to the fire did not
understand how to manipulate the same

it for the lime being. The engine being
useless, attention was given to saving
the buildings across the street and across
vacant lots and by hard work and the
use of abundance Of water the fire was
kept from spreading. Conditions SEEM
ed to be favorable for controlling the
fire as there was very little wind. The

Change. in bureau Of Soils.

The Secretary of Agriculture announces
the establishment of a new division of
soil management in the bureau of soils,
with Prof. F. H. King, formerly professor
of soil physics in the University of Wis
consin In charge. The work of this diyi-
sion will consist of following up the soil
surveys and investigating the many i'm
portant problems connected with the prop
er distribution of crops and the best meth
DDS of cultivation.
The eastern and western divisions of the
soil survey have been combined and put
under the supervision of Mr.. Thomas H
Means, who has heretofore been in charge
of the western division only; and a new
division of insular soil survey has been
established and assigned to Mr.. Clarence
w. Dorsey. formerly in charge of the east
ern division of the work. The reason for
this step is the necessity for inaugurating
soil surveys and soil investigation in the
different insular possessions. Mr. Dorsey
leaves Washington on January 4 to or
ganize a party in Porto Rico, and Will
later go to the Philippines and Hawaii for
the same purpose.

EARTHQUAKE IN ERZERUM.
Fear of Falling Walls Drives People
Into Tents.

Fear of Falling Walls Drives People
Into Tents.
An account of serious earthquake in
Erzerum, Turkey, November 8, is contained
in dispatch just received at the State De-
partment from Vice Consul Ojalvo at Err
zerum. He says that the first shock, though
strong, did not disturb the people much; the
second was of less force, but the third drove
the people from their houses. The last
shock brought down shower of stones and
plaster from roof and walls and the peo-
pie were compelled to put up tents on the
snow in the streets. During the day other
shocks occurred with more or less force, re-
sulting in the destruction of many houses,
the death of twenty persons and the in
jury of fifteen.
In the evening the governor general sent
two tents for the use Of Mr.. Ojalvo and his
family and servants. The vice consul says
that the coldness of the nights compelled
them to put up temporary huts to protect
themselves against the inclemency of the
weather. The damage to the United States
consulate was considerable and the vice
consul was only able to save the typewriter
and registers from the office. The can
vases are full of fear and dare not enter
the building.
Cp to the time the dispatch was forward
ed there had been fourteen heavy shocks
and a large number of lighter ones Re
port has it that 200 houses have been de-
stroyed and large number of others rem
dered uninhabitable.
Consul Ojalvo evidently forwarded his dis
patch before the danger was entirely over.
1T looks as though" said he, I'VE may be
compelled to remain in tents during the
winter, and If so 1 beg the department to
allow me to take my family to Trebizond or
some safe place for the winter The con-
suls of the various powers here were till
yesterday in tents, but as the mercury is
steadily dropping and the snow is still fall
ing they are today building huts for the
winter. / hope to be able to report with
the next mail Improvements in this great
distress. 1t will be preferable to take the
consulate to TrebiZond for the winter"
