RETAIN MORO GlSIf.
The United States Government VIII
Garrison and Hold the Fa-
nous Stronghold.
EQUIPPED WITH MODERN ARTILLERY.
Cuba Would be Assisted dA Defend
ing Herself, and the URited States
Protected from Unwarrante@ Ac-
ton ON the Part of the Cuban Gov
mn

New York, July 20.-In addition to
the other bases of supply demanded
in the Platt amendment, ii is the in
tention of the administration to
permanently retain MORO castle,
overlooking the harbor of Havana.
This the Washington correspondent
of the World says is announced or
the highest authority. 1t is the in-
tention, says the Worlds special, te
occupy, control and defend the
stronghold with United States troops
after the government of the island
has been handed over to the Cubans.
The plan is to equip the fortress with
modern artillery, in order that Cuba
may be assisted in defending herself
against outside interference, and al
SO that the United States may thus
have a guarantee against failure on
the part of the Cuban government to
carry out it's pledges and the terms Of
the treaty now in course of prepare
ton as between this country and
Cuba. Under this treaty the reten.
ton of the fort is provided for.
The Castle is CrumbIfag.
At this time Moro castle is crumb-
ling with the weight of years and is
of small account as a fortress. Spain
was 100 years in building it. The fort
was begun in 1867 by Oregon CASTOR
governor of Havana, with money from
the receipts from Mexico, then owned
by Spain. Millions of dollars were
squandered upon it, and when it was
completed it was acknowledged to be
one of the most formidable forts il
the world.
But Spain was not satisfied, and So,
castle during the ~governship of Juan
Francisco Guymas, who, when the
work was finished, said: "Pass it who
cam"
Became q Dreaded Prison.
MORO eventually became the most
dreaded of all the prisons of Spain.
Men of all classes, rich and poor, high
born and humble, nave entered its
gates never to return to their friends.
1t was really more as a prison than as
a fort hat MORO became known
throughout~the civilized world. Hun
dreds upon hundreds of men have
died the slow death of despair in it's
s-ubterranean vaults. From it there
vas no escape unless the magic pow
er of money was at hand to aid the
unfortunate.
Some years before the wal of this
country with Spain Moro castle was
restored to its original use as a fort
and Cabanas became the principal
prison of the island and one of the
most wretched in the world.

OIL BEARING SHALE
Great Excitement Over DiScov-
ely Near Ephraim.
VEIN THREE MILES LONG
EVERY FOOT OF IT HAS BEEN
LOCATED.
Especial to The Herald4

Ephraim. Feb. 16.-EphTaim has had
its usual quota of mining excitements
in times past; but it has never before
been so worked up as it is now over the
discovery of oil-bearing shale, within
three miles of town. Analysis showing
30 per cent paraffin oil from samples
taken almost at the grass roots, look
good TO the locators and to many
others.
1t was discovered a number of years
ago that this vein of shale, which is
from eight to twelve feet in thickness,
would burn freely when placed on a
/ fire. At that time it was thought to
contain gas; but after applying crude
/ tests it was thought it did not contain
a sufficient amount of gas to make the
working of it profitable, so it was aoaH-
dOned.
Attention was turned to it again last
/ fall by parties who saw samples of the
sl1ale, saying it was asphaHum. The
owners of the original claim decided to
find out just what il did contain, so
samples of it were analysed, the re-
suit showing it to be over One-third oil
80 per cent of it being paraffin.
The vein can be traced for over three
miles, from Willow Creek on the south
to Pigeon creek on the north and every
foot of it is now located by two local
companies.
So far as is known here this is the
only find of 4his kind made in the state
The owners are jubflant. They say that
| so per cent oil at the grass roots ought
to mean pure oil before any great depth
/ is reached.
Citizens generally are greatly elated
over the discovery, because they be-
lieve it means the building up of a big
industry here.
Some Salt Lake capitalists already
have their eyes on the property and
have been making overtures to mem
bers Of the company; but the local
owners seem inclined to hold on to the
property and no deals have been made
yet.
So far as can be ascertained here,
| there is no machinery in the state for
separating the oil from the shale. In
quiries are now being made to find
where the proper machinery can be OBJ
tanned.
One of the curious phases of this dis
covery is that men, Who have always
in the past been so conservative that
nothing in the way of a mining pros
pect would appeal to them, are going
wild over it

OENOUNCES CnMPANY'S TERMS
DOESN'T WANT THIS KIND OF
AMERICAN LIBERTY.
Lewis George Of the Strikers Com
mittee Opposes the NIroncladv
Rule of the Company.

Lewis George of the coal strikers
committee made this statement last
evening in explanation of his attitude:
1T was reported in yesterdays Her
aid that I said 1 thought it was a mis-
take to continue the strike when the
men of the other mines refused 20 join.
The statement is true, but when
made it 1 did not know the Pleasant
Valley Coal company had stopped so
low as to require the men to sign away
their personal rights as free American
citizens, and TO adopt the 'ironclad' rule
IN the employment of men.
If this is what is called American
liberty, then don't want to be an
American citizen. Why should l or any
other man be required to reveal to the
officials of the Pleasant Valley Coal
company the secret thoughts of the
heart in regard to the personal welfare
of myself Or my fellOwmen in order to
secure a days work? If the company
hires me to do a days work for II, and
do the work satisfactorily, is there
any reason why l should not be paid
for the work without having to tell
them what my position or conditions
were in the past. or what my intentions
are as to the future? 1 think not, and I
must say that I sincerely pity the man
who does. To sign away my rights
will not, and may God pity the man

BURGLARS RICH HAUL.
Took Money and a Watch from Con
tinental Hotel.

Some daring burglars broke into two
rooms in the COntinsntal hotel on West
Temple street yesterday afternoon and
got away with about $3.50 worth of
stuff. The crooks did their work early
in the afternoon. it is believed, and
when people were moving about the
house, but no one knew anything of
the burglary until last evening, when
the occupant of the rooms returned to
the hotel. The rooms were occupied
by Arthur Gardner, an employee Of the
Elgin dairy.
Early last evening when he returned
to his room he discovered upon open
ing the door that some one had been
in the place and turned everything up
side down. An investigation showed
that the crook had taken about $40 in
cash, a gold watch and chain valued at
about $50, and a diamond stud valued
at about $50.
Mr.. Gardner left his door securely
locked when he went to his work yes
terday, and it is believed that the
crook gained an entrance through the
transOm over the door.
