“finch an Exporting Born-e

“There are lots of queer inside. stories
connected with the war,” said a visitor
mule lobby of a hotel, “but I thinkI can.
tell the very oddest of the lot. I don’t
care to call any names, but the facts are
these: Late last summer a certain
manufacturing company, one of the
~ biggest in its line in the world, received
quite a large order from the Spanish
government for supplies to be sent to
Cuba. There was nothing remarkable
in this, because Spain was at that time
a. liberal customer in the American mar-
ket, but it already owed a pretty good
stiff bill to the house in question, and
there was some doubt about filling the
last. requisition. However, the stuff
was finally sent. on promise of a 90-day
settlement in full. That- was in Septem-
ber, 1897,” relates the New Orleans
Times-Democrat;
“When the 90 days elapsed a small
payment was made and the balance
promised directly after New Year’s.
Some time in January there was anoth-
or payment and another big promise.
On February 1-5, as ybu may happen‘to
recall. the Maine was blown to smith-
briefly, is the commercial history of
the case, and the house now finds itself
in a peculiar predicament.
“It is possible that it might get its
money' by an appeal to the president,
but- as most of the stuff furnished to the
dons W‘s used as munitions of war
against-0hr own troops it is reluctant
to make the claim for fear of exciting
popular prejudice. The amount- in-
volved' runs away up into the thou-
sands, but they figure that it would be
more than offset by loss of home trade.
So they have concuded- to keep their
mouths shut and charge it to profit and
loss." 'c —
BLIND FISHES.
Two Singular Species Are Found In
the Fresh “’aterl
of Cuba.
According to Dr. (iii-l, Cuba. is re-
mark-able for two species oi blind fishes,
distantly related to the cod family and
otherwise represented only in deep sea
forms, says the New York Tribune.
They have, after many years, adapted
themselves to the fresh water 0f the
caves in which they have become iso-
lated, and have lost their sight after
living many generations without seeing
daylight. In Cuba there are also fresh-
water “gar pike,” curious because of
their resemblance to alligators. This
similarity in appearance is suggested
by the. “gar pike’s” hard, bony scales,
which resist. musket-shot; also by its
snout, conspicuously crocodilesque.
Other fresh-water fishes of Cuba are
related to- similar species of South
America, Mexico and the southwostern
United States. Those related to our
speCies are some forms of killifishes and
mummachogs. The only food' fish in:
Cuban water is a large mullet, which
has wandered inland from the sea.
Dr. Gill says that the fresh-water
fishes of Porto Rico are scarcely known
-to scientific men. The fish commis—
sion’s vessel Fish Hawk is now in Porto
Rican waters- investigating the-m. Por—
to Rico will contribute but 'meagerly
to our list of new fauna. There we no
indigenous earth animals, but rats and
mice, of course, have followed man
thither. About the only indigenous an~
imal of Porto Rico is believed to be a
species of bat, which from the popular
point. of view has not-hing peculiar per-
taining to it.

Traveling brings out the idiosyncra-

be said to be asconvenient-ly adjusted
as Jack .Sprat and his wife.
It. was a very cold morning outside

“Porter,” snapped the man viciously,
“I want. those ventilators closed.
You’ll give us all pneumonia in. a couple
of seconds,” and the porter meekly
closed the transom. "
“Porter,” immediately called the
woman, “I want the ventilators on my
side or the our open as wide as you can
open them.”
The oiiicial hesitated only an instant,
for the woman’s: quick “Do it at- once, '
porter,” brooked. no .delay. He pulled
them down with a grin at the opposite
passenger.
But the man didn’t smile himself.

THE MACHETE’ SuD‘EADLY CUT.

The execution possible with a machete
when wielded by a brawny Cuban
horseman is told by Lieut..L. Lyng,
assistant. surgeon.U. S. A., who is home
inMinneapolis on a furlough fromCuba.
During his service in Cuba Lieut. Lyng,
whose swarthy complexion causes him
to be mistaken for a. Cuban ofiicer often-

he is, collected many photographs and
relics, says the Chicago News.
“While I was in attendance in one of

Among Lieut. Lyng’s collection of
photographs is one- of a. gigantic heap
of bones of reconcentrados whose bod-
ies had been thrown in a pile on the out-
skirts of Havana and covered with
lime. Another picture shows a pit full
of skeletons, where the work of the
quicklime had been left to vultures.
These were bones of persons whose
bodies were dug up and moved out of
cemeteries because relatives had been
unable to keep up the installment pay-
ments on their graves.

Private Yamashita, of the Third regi-

listed in December last, and is now
22 years ofi age. His muscular strength
is. so great. that he can carry a field
piece on his shoulders and climb up
a mountain when horses are not avail-
able. Yamashita regularly receives
two men’s rations. and his uniforms are
made to order.
