that touching it's revenue.
1.-THE government was counting on Gus

this source will be very small Sixty
thousand Cuban soldiers are clamoring
for four years pay, and there is no money
for them. The Cuban government will
find it extremely difficult to meet run

RYAN GOES TO
SEABOARD AIR LINE
Becomes General Passenger
Agent of the Road
APPOINTMENT JUNE 18TH
Leases the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
road, With Which He Has occu-
pied the Position Of Assist
ant Passenger Agent.
APPOIN TMENT JUNE 18TH

Mr.. c. B. Ryan, of Cincinnati, resigns
the position of assistant general passen-
ger agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio
to accept the general passenger agency
of the Seaboard Air Line, with head
quarters in Portsmouth, Va. His new
appointment will become effective June
18th.
Mr.. Ryan is one of the best known
passenger officials in the United States.
He has frequently visited the Birmingham
district as the guest of his brother, Mr..
John R. Ryan, who is assistant general
manager of the Corona Coal and Iron
Company.
Mr.. Ryan is a native of Maysville, KY,
but entered the railway service In Rich
mond, Va, when he was q yeafs old in
1881. Before going to Virginia he was in
business in Cincinnati. His brother hav-
ing removed to Richmond, young Ryan
decided to make his home there. The day
he arrived in Richmond he started to
work for the Richmond and Petersburg
Railroad Company at $40 a month. In a
few months his salary was raised to $6o
and at the emu CT a year he accepted a
position in the passenger department of
the Chesapeake and Ohio at SIPS month.
General Passenger Agent H. w. Full
Ter soon made him his chief clerk and in
three or four years had him appointed
division passenger agent with head
quarters at Cincinnati.
In 1894 the office of assistant general
passenger agent was created for Mr..
Ryan and for several years he has been
looked upon as one of the fixtures Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio.
In speaking of the appointment Assist
and General Passenger Agent w. e.
Christian of the Seaboard Air Line, with
headquarters at Atlanta, said:
1T have known Charley Ryan for
twenty-five years. 1 heard of his ap-
pointment today for the first time. In
my Judgment his is an ideal selection.
He is a man of AZ, of singular poise and
repose of manner, and from long expert
ence and natural ability has the executive
quality developed to a high degree.
There is no man in the South more val
liable to a young man as a superior OFF,
cal than II. w. Fuller, and Mr.. Ryan
has profited to the full by his association
with this prominent general passenger
agent. From time to time I have heard
of the splendid record he has made for
himself In the management of his office
in Cincinnati, and as far as he is concern
ed it will be an easy step from his pres
ent work to that to which he has been
| called. He comes back to Virginia young
in good health, fully equipped and 1 be-
lieve both by reason of his kindly temper
am tent and his we'll ordered and accurate
knowledge of the passenger business that
he will not only add to the reputation
which he has already won, but that he
will by reason Of these qualities get the
best out of the men that report to him"
