 Admiral Dewey sustained the objection
 The order of Admiral sampson, wnicm Is letter known as the Dear ocniey letter. was then read.
 The Dear schley' letter Is dated Key West, Fla, May 20, 1898. Referring to telegram from the Nsyy sns sttsr send word to Schley to proceed to san tiago. the letetr says:
 After duly considering this telegram have decided to make no change m the present plans: that Is, that you should hold your squadron off Cienfuegos: IT the Spanish ships have put into Sanuago they must come either to Havana or Glen fuegos to deliver the munitions or war Cuba. 1 am therefore of opinion that your best chance of success Tn capturing their ships will be to hold the two points Cienfuegos and Havana, with all the force we can muster. If later 1t should be- velop that these vessels are at sanuago we could then assemble off that port the ships best suited for the purpose and completely blockade 1t. unuI we, then, shall continue to hold Havana and Glen fuegos."

 All the dispatches received at St Nicholas Mole were delivered 10 com. % modore Schley on the morning Of May 27 1898 There Is no mistake about that. The dispatches l received at Kingston for Commodore Schley were delivered on the morning of May 31 There is no mistake about that"
 MT.

MOxicans Cling with wonderf Tenacity
to Their broad Acres.
The tenacity with which the great
estates of Mexico are maintained in
tact by the old families of this u
try appears all the more remarkable
when it is considered how generally
all lines of industry, aside from that Of
the farmer, are in the hands Of for,
eigners. The dry goods trade Of
Mexico is controlled ~ the French,
the Spaniards of Mexico are the coun-
try's grocers, the Germans do the hard
ware business, the railroads are con
tFolled by American and English, the
bank stock of Mexico is largely owned
in France, Germany and England, and
a large percentage OF the industrial
concerns Of the country belong to for
%eigners. Not SO, however, the agricul-
tural resources of Mexico. During re-
cent years a great deal of American
capital has entered the republic for
investment in tropical plantations,
particularly in southern Mexico, but
the great bulk of Mexico's rural lands
is held in the form of extensive ha-
ciendas> or ranches, often hundreds Of
thousands of acres in extent. Some of
these estates have been handed down
in the same families for nearly 400
years, not a few titles tracing their
origin back to the first grants from
the king of Spain after the conquest.
The aristocracy of Mexico is counted
among these landed proprietors, many
of whom enjoy princely incomes from
their plantations, which often produce
a great variety Of products and en-
brace several manufacturing plants. 1t
is largely due to the fact that the tax
upon land of this character is compar-
atively very light that these estates
have so long remained undivided, as,
in most instances, only a small per
cent of their area is under cultivation.
AS in many states the levy is practical
ly only a tax upon products, the UNI
used acres are no great burden. There
are, naturally, those who desire to see
these tracts taxed so that the owners
will be forced to sell at least portions
of them and the land of the country
divided among a larger number OF
small proprietors. Such a measure
would be vigorously opposed by the
wealthy landed proprietOrs, and such
is the number and Importance Of this
class that no active measure of this
kind has ever been promulgated

his clan with him. There is no such
thing as starting as an office boy and
ending as the president of a railroad,
or of beginning life as a newsboy and
rounding off his career as the COVER

thing as a son attaining a fortune in.
