Washington, Sept. c22.-The true
condition of affairs in Cuba has been
made known through government adj
vices received here of most authentic
origin. These positively assert that
the present instruction can last in
definitely because of the fact that
neither the insurgents nor the govern
ment is able to overthrow the other.
All business interests, it is declared,
want Intervention, while the insur-
gents are opposed to it because they
want Offices and graft, which interven-
tion would not bring. Trade is dead.
Six weeks more of the present state
of affairs, it is stated, will mean ruin
for the tobacco crop and immense loss
in the next sugar crop.

The F,loor Of the Pacific.


The red clay which covers the deep
doors of the Pacific and the Indian
oceans is made up Of refuse ard residue
that which can withstand the strong
chemical action Of the gases. In it
may be found decomposed volcanic
rock, pumice. zeolitic crystals, man
ganese oxides, meteoric iron, teeth of
sharks and ear bones of whales. Few
IL any shore deposits are apparent in 1t.
The rock is vitreous refuse, belched
forth by subterranean or insular vol.
canoes. The minerals are supposed to
be Of cosmic origin planetary dust and
meteoric fragments that have fallen
into the sea and have become rdlsinte-

teeth remains quite unaccounted for

In horses. live stock, and stores the value
OF our captures must have amounted to many
thousands of dollars. OF course the larger part
of this booty turned over to the Con-
iederate Government, but once in awhile we
got the cold cash, and that different.
One OF our most important captures of cat
tie and stores was made in an attack OF
SherIdan's supply train in the Shenandoah
Valley IN August, 1904. Sheridan had been
ordered by Grant to 60 up the Shenandoah
for the purpose of breaking the communica-
tions between Richmond and the South
Harpers Ferry was his base of operations and
depot of supplies. 1t was of great strategic
value on account of the railroad and canal
that connected it with Washington. In pre-
pairing to move up the valley, Sheridan showed
4 great deal of solicitude about his Communi-
cations, because he knew they are the weak
As well as the vital part of army. Before
striking at Lees communications, he was
CAUTIOUS to provide for the security of his
own.
Sheridan started up the valley on the tenth

danger in his rear. His headquarters that
night were III Berryvie.

The latter consisted of between five hundred
and SIX hundred horses and mules, upward of
two hundred beef cattle, and many valuable
stores. We captured and DESTROYED seventy
