helped me to get boarding place in New street, where I paid s2 a week, and got very good board, too. My first employ- ment was at the old tavern, but I soon gave up the job and went to Albany, working my passage on the old steam boat Jefferson, which was then known as Queen of the Hudson. I finally managed to get a job as office boy with the steam- boat company. There were many promi- nent men in the company at that time, among them John Mason, who founded the Chemical bank, and Michael Van Beuren, who built the first block of stone houses in Bleecker street From the AL bany office I was advanced to a position in the New York office at $S a month. It was not long, however before saved enough out of my salary to begin to spec ulate and I have been speculatlng ever since
 'The reason that I could save was be- cause I never drank, smoked nor went to theatres like the other young men in the office. My first deal was in fish. I kept watch on the outside market, and when fish were cheap in New York and dear in Albany I could buy and ship 1t up on our steamboat. After that I speculated in butter, eggs, vegetables and, In fact. nearly everything in the market, and at the end of my first year I found that was over 5000 ahead"

DISARMAMENT OF REBELS
Cannot be Completed Until the Volun-
teers Have Been Paid Off and Dis
banded.

Havana, October 6.-The disarma-
ment Of the rebels cannot be success
fully completed until the volunteers,
organized by the Cuban government,
have been paid off, disarmed and dis
banded. That is the position that has
been taken by various rebel commands
scattered throughout the island which
are strongly inclined to remain under
arms until the volunteer organizations
disappear. This is the only important
factor now retarding the otherwise
fairly rapid dispersal Of the rebel
forces.
The disposition of the provisional
government is to yield to this demand.
The volunteers would have been mus
tered out of service sooner, but for the
necessity to have some force in at
tendance for the purpose Of guarding
the towns. It is realized, however, that
In many sections the presence of vol
unteers and the militia only acts as an
irritant to the surrendering rebels
The conduct Of the volunteers to their
opponents is not always exemplary.
and what seems most needed is the
presence of a sufficient force of United
States soldiers and marines to so gar
rison every town that the volunteers
can be rapidly dipensed with and sue
ceeded by capable and we'll discipiin-
ed American soldiers.

Adams and Solomon, both receiving
wounds in the stomach The negro was
promptly arrested and placed in jail.
A general stampede ensued among
blacks and whites, as friends of the
wounded men made threats of VEN

cars and hacks, and sought home at
once. A mob of 200 soCn formed, and
half of them went to the jail and the
others to the barracks The barracks
were so we'll guarded that no effort was
made to storm it and this contingent
of enraged citizens joined at the Jail
which is now being stOrmed. 1t is said
the outer door has been broken down.
Strenuous efforts are being made to
prevent violence, the mayor exercising
all the power at his command to re-
