PICTURESQUE SANTIAGO al
DELIGHT TO THE ARTIST
Situation Of the Town One Of Unusual Beauty

Memories Of the Old Churches.

Especial correspondence.)

It is after the desolate eastern end
OF Cuba has been rounded, and the lit
tie lighthouse, looking like a Turkish
cigarette standing upright, on the
shore Of Cape Maysi, has sunk out OF
sight behind lie jungle-covered
steppes of the south coast, that ones
interest in the island becomes a vivid
reality. Then all the anticipations,
the war memories, assume a material
significance, and, little by little, meet
their realization or disappointment, ac-
cording to your point Of view.
Some time during the earliest dawn,
usually, stop has been made in the
darkness at Guantanamo, but when
daylight comes the steamer is draw
ing by the tiny village of Daiquiri and
Siboney, full of thrilling memories OF
the landing of the American soldiery,
and an hour later the long, low wall Of
cliffs blossoms suddenly with the
beauty and harmless menace of Nor
TO castle. This superb relic of medic
val fertilization has yielded nothing of
it's pride in losing all that its thick
walls and antique ramparts signified.
Impotent, but proud, it looms above
the narrow pass through which the
steamer turns, one of the most beau
tiful castles in the world.
The bay narrows beyond Cayo
Smith, and then the steamer rounds a
sharp spur of land; all at once the
whole city of Santiago and it's wonder
full background of purple mountains
break upon the vision.
Santiago is one of the Oldest cities
Of the Western hemisphere, and its
architectural features present an ex-
cellent illustration Of the substantial
and picturesque cities built by the
Spaniards during their wonderful con-
quest of the Americas.
The situation of the town is one of
unusual beauty. 1t covers a symmet-
rical hill at the end of the bay, and
all of the streets. as In the case of
nearly every Spanish city, radiate
from a central plaza, which In Santi-
ago is the highest point in the city
with the exception of the positions of
the military and civic hospitals at the
eastern outskirts of the town.
The Plaza del Armes is a small and
now well-kept square, raised about six
feet from the level of the surrounding
streets, the parterres of which are
filled with tropical plants, while four

to That Effect.
Jefferson City. Mo-: Late Saturday
night Governor DOckery issued the fol-
lowing proclamation, asking the peo-
pie of the State to suspend, SO far as
practicable, their usual avocations, on
April 30, to unite in the celebration Of
the Tooth anniversary of the signing
Of the treaty at Paris, by which the
Louisiana purchase was ratified:
The both of April, 1903, will be the
centennial anniversary Of an event
than which there has been none great
er in the history of the United States.
On that date, 100 years ago, was sign
ed, in Paris, the treaty which crown
ed the diplomacy OF Jefferson with the
peaceful acquisition by the United
States of territory greater than the
original domain. That act has been
fraught with mighty consequences to
this country. It gave not only the ter
ritory out of which have been created
IA States and Territories, but made
possible and natural our expansion to
the Pacific Ocean. II is to celebrate
the Tooth anniversary of the signing
Of this treaty that the people Of the
United States have proposed the Lou
isiana Purchase Exposition and invit-
ed the nations Of the earth to partici-
pate. The present progress Of pre-
parations assures the triumphant sue
cess Of this Worlds Fair. Upon the
both of April. 1903, the grounds and
buildings of the Exposition at the city
of st. Louis will be dedicated by the
President Of the United States, in the
presence Of representatives Of 80 ma
tions and Of the chief officers of the
several States Of the Union. 1t there
fore becomes not only the duty but the
high privilege of the people of Mis-
souri, to show their regard in fitting
manner for this anniversary and its
celebration.
Now, therefore, l, Alexander M.
Dockery, Governor Of the State of
Missouri, do hereby request the peo-
pie, at the approaching centennial an
niversary of the acquisition Of the
Louisiana territory, to suspend, so far
as may be practicable, their usual
avocations. and unite in the celebra-
ton of this suspicious event.
In testimony whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the State of
| Missouri.

Objects to Method Of Valuation for
Property Taken from Citizens.
Jefferson City, Mo-: Governor Dock
cry Saturday morning vetoed the
"waterworks bill' introduced in the
General Assembly by Senator McDav-
i'd. The bill provided for the acquisi-
ton of waterworks by cities of the
third class by condemnation, and pro-
vided the procedure for condemning
the same; fixed the method for arriv-
ing at the just compensation to be
paid therefor; provided for obtaining
the money by the issuance of bonds,
which were to create no general liza
bility on the part of the city, but to
be secured only by the property COM
posing the waterworks plant, together
with the revenues arising therefrom /;
provided a method for the payment of
the bonds and the right to continue
the operation of the waterworks after
default, and board Of commissioners
to manage and control the works.
Governor Dockery's reasons were
that the bill would take property
rights from private citizens without
providing just compensation.
