A New Novel BY the winiamsoas.

In the July Delineator is begun
a new novel by G. N. and A. NJ.
Williamson, authors of "The
Lightning Conductor "rhe
Chauffeur and the Chaperon.'
which is the title of the new story,
promises to be the brightest, clev-
crest piece of fiction that the two
famous authors of motor stories
have vet written.
Of the several groups of collab-
orators who have won success in
large measure, none is more inter-
esting than the two Williamsons.
Before their marriage Mr.. Will
hanson was an editor of renown.
Mrs. Williamson employed her
time in devising countless romano
es for the better class of English
papers. 1t is said that she could
turn out a story of any length,
bnilt around any given plot, in y
stats I'd number of hours. Their
methods of work are interesting.
Between them, it is understood,
they devise the plots of their stor-
les, while Mrs. Williamson sup
plies the dialogue, which is their
brightest feature, and Mr.. Will
hanson the facts and data. 1t is
one Of their literary traits to write
their experience into their books,
and their story which begins in the
July Delineator is the direct result
of : torls ~. Holland that the au-
thors recently made in 4 .motor

JOSE MIGUEL GOMEZ.
Cuban General Arrested For Alleged
Completely In Revolution.

After four years Of comparative free
dom from internal strife the Cuban
government has been having trouble
with insurrectionary bands. Among
the Cuban malcontents is General Jose
Miguel Gomez, who was the Liberal
candidate for the presidency last fall.
He withdrew before the elections were
held and President Palma was re-
elected without formal opposition.
Gomez and his partisans claimed that
the government would not permit a
fair election, and hence that it was
futile for an opposition candidate to
remain in the field. General Gomez
later paid visit to the United States
and in interviews here charged Presi-
dent Palma with despotic acts and the
officials of the Moderate party, of
which Senior Palma is head, with cor
ruption. On his return to Cuba he be.
came administrator of the Silveira
Sugar company at Ciego de Avila, a

VALPARAISO'S HARBOR.
The Stricken South American City
ana It's Importance as n Seaport.

The Stricken South American City
ana Its Importance as Seaport.
The city of Valparaiso, Chile, which
has been overwhelmed with earth
quake, has one Of the finest harbors on
the coast Of South America. It is the
most important seaport Of Chile and
the center Of the trade Of large part
Of southwestern South America. It is
the terminus of European steamship
lines, whose business Is Of very great
extent. Among the features of the
harbor are the big custom house wharf
and the floating dry docks shown in the
accompanying picture. Vessels Of heavy
tonnage can be repaired in these dry
docks. Such docks were first construct
ed in Valparaiso in 1860, and 1t was the
first South American city to possess
facilities for the prosecution of mari
time commercial enterprises on large
scale. Valparaiso was also the first
city of South America to establish tele-
graph lines and street car lines, to
adopt gas illumination and to construct.

THE PRESIDENT OF CHILE.
Senior German Riesco and His Eff
Client Administrations.

The government of Chile has been
prompt in meeting the various emer-

Valparaiso and other cities through
earthquake and fire. At the head Of
the republic is Senior German Riesco,
who was elected president by the Chill
can electoral college June %, 1901.
He took Office Sept. IS, 1901, and his
term has been characterized by peace,
progress and prosperity for the repub-
lie, with the exception of the terrible
disaster that has recently overwhelm-
ed Valparaiso and some other towns.
The term of Chilean president is FIVE
years; therefore that of President Ries-
CO will soon expire. He will be sue
ceeded by Don Pedro Mont. whose
wife was victim Of the earthquake in
Valparaiso. When the house Of Presi-
dent Elect Mont collapsed, his wife
