The MAVERICK CASE.
Interest Revived-Deputation Of Wo-
men VIII co to London.

IOCU NNil W 70 GONuONs
London, Nov Elm view of the re-
vival of interest in America in the
Maybrick case and the fact that
deputation of women is shortly to
come from the United States to plead
for mercy for the famous prisoner,
statement made by one in close touch
with the Office of the home secretary
is Of particular interest. About a year
ago it was rumored that Mrs. Maybrlck
would be included among those re-
celving clemency from the king at the
time of the latters coronation. The
coronation passed, however. without
any new developments in the case.
No such proclamation of pardon was
forthcoming and hope was quite
abandoned by those who had been
anxiously expecting that his majesty
would extend royal clemency TO a con-
siderable number Of prisoners and re-
store them to freedom and civil life.
The announcement just made that
in India, in connection with the APP
preaching coronation ceremonies at
the great Durbar the viceroy would
release large number of prisoners
has awakened public expectation here
that the king will be graciously pleas
ed to extend his consideration in a
cfVnf1aV 4 L.
the person already referred to that
such an act Of clemency is in contem.
plation, but II carried out IT will ex.
tend only to minor offenders. So far
as can be learned the prospects Of
Mrs. Maybrick being released are no
brighter now than they have been at
any other time during the many years
of her imprisonment.

they are not ought up' over the
Presidents action in the Tillman mat
ter, and that if Col. Tlllman used the
expression reported he Is entirely mis-
taken.
The Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier, after declaring that
the officials Of the State were not in
volved in this transaction in any way,
says that inquiry into the matter has
developed the following facts:
Lieutenant Governor James III. Till
man is a great personal friend and adj
mirer of Major Micah Jenkins, former
ly of the United States army, who
served with distinguished gallantry
with the Rough Riders under Col.
Roosevelt. President Roosevelt in his
written history and in a letter to Col.
James III. Tillman stated that Major
| Jenkins was the bravest soldier he had
c, er seen under fire, and compliment
ed Major jenkins in the highest terms
for his distinguished gallantry while in
the fight IN Cuba. Col. James III
Tillman, who was in command Of the
LIST South Carolina regiment, and who
later on became Lieutenant Governor,
got up the idea of presenting a sword
to Major Jenkins and went about the
arrangements on his own account. He
! raised the money with which to pur-
chase the sword from about fifteen or
twenty we'll known citizens of the
State, and incidentally, it may be men
toned, Senator Tillman was one Of the
contribut )rs to the fund. After the
sword had, been purchased Gen. Hamp.
ton was asked to select from the letter
, of President Roosevelt one OF two ex-
pressions of commentator, and Gen.
Hampton took a great deal of pleasure
IN selecting two sentences hat were
written by President Roosevelt, and
which are now engraved or the scab-
bard of the sword. 1t was the lnten-
ton of President Roosevelt to lie in
Charleston on the 10Th of February,
but on account of the illness of his son
he could not be there. President
Roosevelt, it was announced, was to
have delivered the sword to his friend
and comrade, Major jenkins, and The
statement is made that President
Roosevelt accepted with a great deal
of pleasure the invitation to deliver the
sword.
When the President was compelled
to abandon his trip nothing more was
said of the matter until to-day, when
the unexpected telegram was received.
The sword is now IN the Carolina
National Bank, under the directions of
Lieutenant Governor Tillman, and it
appears that, as he has raised the fund
with which to purchase the sword, he
has taken charge of the arrangements
for its presentation and custody. AS
far as is known no N of the con-
tributors to the fund has been consult
ed with reference TO the change o. the
original plans as to the presentation of
the sword. Col. Tillman has made all
the arrangements thus far and pre-
sunably takes the position that he has
the right to change his mind after the
President recalled the Prince Henry
dinner invitation, and no one other
than Col. Tillman had a thing in the
world to do with the telegram to
Present Roosevelt, if really sent. 1t
is in no way a State matter, or n in
which the State has any part, officially
Otkerwise.

THE RESOURCES AND
CLIMATE OF CUBA
An Interesting Bulletin From
United States Geological Survey.

The Department of the Interior has
now 1 n press and shortly to be pub
lishcd GA Gazetteer of Cuba" by
Henry Gannett, Geographcr, which is
the title of Bulletin No. 1872 of the
United States Geological Survey. The
following is a condensed statement of
the information contained in the Ga
zetteer:
Cuba, the largest aud most popu-
lous of The West Indian islands, lying
directly south of Florida, has an ex-
IRENE length, from Cape Maisi OH the
east to Cape San Antonio on the
West, of 730 miles, a breadth ranging
from 100 in the east to 25 miles in the
nelghhorhood of IIabana, and an area,
including the isle of Pines and the
bordering Keys, of approximately 49,
600 square miles.
The north coast Is manly steep and
rocky. In the western part of Cuba
the bluffs are low; toward the eastern
end, in Santiago Province, the coast is
rugged and almost mountainous. The
south coast from Cape Maisi westward
to Cape Cruz is bordered by mountains,
partly by the Sierra Maestro. West
of Cape Cruz is the Bay of Buen Es-
pelanza, into which flows the Rio
Cauto, the largest stream Of the is
land. Thence westward the coast is low,
and marshy: broadening, west of Glen
fuegos, into the Great Zapata Swamp,
rs miles long and 30 miles broad.
OFF the southern coast are mainly low,
mangrove-covered islands. Most of
the barbors CT both coasts have mar
row, crooked entrances opening into
sheltered basins. The middle portion
of the island, including the provinces
OF Habana, Mavanz,s, Santa Clara, and
Puerto Principe, consists of broad, I'M
dulating plains, and shallow valleys.
Throughout Pinar del Rio Province in
the west, parallel to the coasts, runs a
watershed, the Organ Mountains, ex-
ceeding 1000 feet, whose southwark
slopes form the celebrated Vuelto
Abaio tobacco land. In Santiago
Province, the Sierra Maestro reaches
attitudes exceeding 5000 feet, and n
peak, Turquino, Is 1920 feet high.
The rivers of Cuba are numerous, but
short, and few are navigable except
through their estuaries. The Cauto.
IN Santiago Province, is navlgable for
about 80 miles, and the Sagua Grande,
in Santa Clara Province, for about 20
miles. The interior of the island is de-
pendent on only HOO miles of railroad
and its poor wagon roads for inter-
communication.
The mineral of the island,
so far as developed, consist almost
entirely of hematile iron ore, which
has been mined for many years at the
south base of the Sierra Maestro, a
few miles east of Santiago. Nearly all
the ore, which contains about 81 per
cent. of iron, is shipped to the United
States. Copper, gold and silver were
mined formerly. Asphaltum has been
found in several places, particularly
near the City of Santa Clara, Mhere il
has been utilized to make illuminating
gas.
The climate Of Cuba is comparative
ly simple. The northeast trade winds

Cheap Rations for Horses anf
Mules.
To the Editor Of The Farmer:

10 the Editor Of The Farmer:
from various sections of the
state nave been writing asking about
the advisability Of feeding horses and
mules on cotton seed meal and hulls and
also asking for a cheaper ration thar
corn.
The following prices are given in q
letter from Scranton, 8 O.: Corn. $40
per ton; oats, $45 per ton: wheat bran.
$25 per ton; cotton seed meal, $25 per
ton; rice meal, 500 per ton. OF course
corn n oats are out Of the question as
a 1000 Tor horses and mules at the above
prices. so something cheaper must be
looked for. ~
Inc analysis shows that rice meal has
ABOUT the same composition as corn meal
ana we have found that it is lust as good
for feeding pigs. We have fed i to
horses with good results. | think we
are safe in say ing that it may be used in
place or r pound for Found.
II no hay or fodder is used in the
ration and bulls are resorted to as rough.
ness some heterogeneous food such as bran
or cotton seed meal must be used TO
supply protein. Hulls may be fed with.
out any further fear of injury to the ami
nal. Should they refuse to cat the hulls
a little corn meal or bran sprinkled over
the surface will tempt them,
as follows: W
Six pounds of rice costing 66 cents:
four pounds Of wheat bran costing s o
cents; two pounds of cotton seed meal.
costing 20 cents ten pounds of cotton
seed hulls, costing 80 cents total cost
OF ration per day Ill.
The above is for a horse or mule OF
i 900 pounds In live weight.
1t is evident that a ration made I'M of
corn and fodder and containing the same
amount of digestible matter IS the above
ration would cost much more than the
above. "'
The North Carolina experiment station
has fed cotton seed meal and bulls to
horses with good results, but the expert.
ments along this line have not been ex-
tensive enough to say that cotton seed
meal can be fed in unlimited quantities
tor any length Of time without injury to-
the animal.
Numbers of farmers, however, have
reported that they have fed cotton seed
mea! to mules and horses with good
results.
