It was assumed he department that the vice and ty coisul, William Orrett, at gston, had sent the dispatch. A rence in the cablegram to the proof safe is understood to cQn assurance of the safety of the ular records and papers. It was o regarded as possible that the nies imight have come from Nicholas Snyder, the Amcrican consul at Antonio, on the island of Jama owever, the dispatch was regard s warranting the taking of instAnt sures of relief. Indeed the navy artment had been inadvance in s matter, for through Capt.

When ecretary Root later indicated the sirability of sending warships at ce to the distressed island, it turned t that Admiral Evans had antici ted instruction and had started on torpedo boat destroyer, the swiftest -sel in the American fleet, for King on, ordering two battleships to fol w as soon as they could. The appeal for food supplies direct -d attentioni to the fact that under rdinary conditions none of the gov iment supplies could be ised for utside relief save by special author ty of eongress. That fact, however, id not prevent Secretary Metealf rom orderinl"g two Supply ships with -ill cargoes of food at. once to Ja aica, leaving for tomorrow the nestion as to how the supplies aie to e given to the needy inhabitants.

Jamestown Ter-centennial Exposition WiQl Have a Greater Display of Transportation Adjuncts than Any Previous Exposition. By W. H1. Bright. Norfolk, Va., Jan. 17.-The word 'Transportation'' has in late years gained such a wide significance that under its caption volunins iniglit be written. Until recently it referied principally to railroad and steamboat service, but now it reaches from the upper depths of aerial navigation to the bottom of the sea Where the slb marine boats disport. with the deniz ens of the deep; from the flying lo comotive to the trolley car, the auto mobile or the aut-eycle. Or from the handsomest equipage in carriage or tral) to the broadtread or ox cart of the burdenlbearing type. There was a time when the ques tion of rapid transportation was only discussed in the great centers of civi lization or between those centers, but now it is a question of deep interest to everybody, and as the canal and the National pike have given way to the modern steamer, the railway and the automobile, so even the more re cent means and modes of transporta tion will give place to the latest mo tive power that really constitutes the master-wheel to the mechanism of novin- passengers and freight. The incalculable value of an exhibit at tile Jamestown Expasition is be coming manifest every day as the call for space continues to increase, and more particularly is this true in the motive power department of transpor tation. When the manufacturer of motive power devices or mechanism begins to realize the vast territory along tile Atlantic coast that by rea son of the last few years of special prosperity, is looking for better means of transportation both on land, river and sea, the more readily notes the vast importance of properly display ing that for which the people are clamoring Pnd which they will iave. The oar and the sail must give way to a surer and more rapid mode of propelling. That the hundreds and tlousands of people wlo visit the Exposition next year will have an opportunity to compare tile various Illodes of trans portation ill the past with tile per fected modes of time present is evi denced by the fact that such vast coneerns as the American Lomotive Works, The Baldwin Locomotive Work and tld Climax as well as other locomotive works and vompanies mil Ierest ed ill tlie motive power for var ions modes <9transportation as well as velicles and olier adjullets will have complete exlil)its at the Exposi tion showing tihe old timlne means of transportation and of applied motive power, side by side with the imost mod ,ern vehicles and modes of propelling them. Not only will these ext remnes se'para te b'1ly thiree huniIdred yea rs, he( on exhibition hut every step) taken from thlen till now will be shown and fully demonstrated. How to Deal With the Butcher. ; It is qulite as true tihat wisdom is money as that time is money, and nev em so true as whlen dealing withl tile butcher. To knowv to buny a piece of beef that will cost only twvent.y cents but when cooked aright will be as delieionis and as nourishing as onme wvhich c'ost forty cents means money to the huousewife.

Along these lines a series of artiels in the Newv Idlea Woman's Magazine is giv'ing infor mation. Miss Elizabeth W.

It vas when Senator Clay got up, though he fun was at it liei.-hit.

The unterrified Clay woceeded then to state as his causes )f action that '' the people of my state ibhor mob violence. They abhor li Tense law. There is not a man iii the ate who would countenance such iets.'' Up rose Foraker. ''Didn't a >rominent Atlanta paper run a stand ng offer of a reward for a lynching ast summer?'' lie asked. ''If it did I [ am sur not a dzen men in' Geor 'in approved it if it dlid.'' Then lie urned his batteries toward South arolina and instantly had Tillinan -oinlg. ''Eery maii, womaln and child 1i this great republic ought to ap WrVe and applaud the president for lisCharging these brutes,'' was his pening shot at the pitchfork artist. ''If lie had discharged tlhem the 7irst time or the second -or the third w the fourt.i'' retorted Tillman, 'here would never have been an af rayi at Brownsville.'' ''If the presideit Vas wron.g thle irst time or tlie second or the third, ' TS0nded Clay. 'we olu'lt ievertlie ess to he glad that lIe was right at, ast.'
