and one of the newspapers contained cable dispatch from Santiago and from that he gathered that the Spanish force under Admiral Cervera might have sail ed from Santiago in time to reach Glen fuegos just before the arrival of the force under his command. I said that I had brought arms, ammunition and dynamite for the Cuban camp to the west and that if he would let me go I would find out at once whether they were in Cienfuegos He immediately assented. l asked him if he had seen any lights on the beach. He said he had. I asked If he saw three. He said he had. I then said the lights were from Cubans trying to communicate. l asked him if he saw three horizontal bars in line on the beach in day time" Cap tain McCalla then gave description how he got ashore near Cienfuegos and found the Cubans drawn up in line. He gave them food and ammunition.
 "We found" he added, that Cervera was not inside the harbor, and that, in fact, the situation in Cienfuegos was exactly as 1t was when I left it on the 16th of the same month"
 Captain McCalla then said he sent the information aboard to Admiral Schley by the Eagle, signaling that vessel to proceed at full speed and report to the Brooklyn that Cervera was not in Cien- fuegos. Captain McCalla followed with the Marblehead, reaching the Brooklyn between 8 and o'clock, somewhat be- hind the Eagle.
 Did you go on board the Brooklyn?"
 Went Aboard the Brooklyn.
 "I steamed under the quarter of the Brooklyn, and after some conversation with Commodore Schey I asked if he would like for me to come aboard. He said he would. I went on board, and, of course confirmed the fact that Admiral Cervera's fleet was not in Cienfuegos During the conversation the commodore asked me to read the instructions and after I had read them he asked what I thought he had better do. Previous to this he had said that he could not coal off Santiago; that the English had dem onstrated that ships could not coal at sea. He also said that if he returned to Key West he would be court-martialed. It was after this that he handed me the orders which read. After reading them I said: Commodore, I think you must

one of them said:
Merrill, what time do you get to
Chillicothe?"
This attracted the attention OF an
old man who had been apparently
awaiting some Identification OF Mr..

name he rushed up to his seat and
extending his hand said:

dispatch, are S9GS5S. against S97, 3i4 in
October, 1900. This was when the tar
iff between rorto Rico and the United
States was In force. The fact that
the receipts were only S4S6 less than
in 1900 indicates that the foreign trade
has increased to such an extent that
the receipts are practically the same
as with the tariff. The total value of
the exports for October was 1901 0S7.
For the same month in 1900. the ex-
