Juno had como, a radiaut Juno, and ?11 at Frayue wan joyous anticipation, dospito the momentous fact tbat the Platte had overleaped its hounds and was raging liko some mad mountain torredt far as the eyo could see. Tie fluts to the west of tho post were ouo broud, muddy lake. The grassy bench beneath the bluffs to the east was par tial ly torn away. Part of Bunko Jim's frontier stronghold still oluug to the opposite bank, hut some of it was dis tributed in driftwood long leagues down stream. Across the river, at a point half a mile above the ruin of tho ferry house, a troop of cavalry, caught on re turn from scout, had pitohed its tents and picketed its horses and was waiting for tho falling of tbo waters to enable it to return to its station, and with that troop, tho maddest man in all Wyo ming, was Lieutenant Will Farrar. Six or scveu weeks previously an or der had come to Fentou to send two troops to scout tbo western slopes of the Big Horn and keep tho peace between tho settlers and tho Shoshones. Timo was whon these latter rarely ventured across tho Big Horn river, partly' through fear of tho Sioux, who claimed sovereignty over all tho lands east of tho Shoshone preserves in tho Wind river valley, partly through regard for the or ders of their loyal old chief, Washakio, who for long, long years of his lifo had kept faith with tho groat wbito fathor, hold his pcoplo in check and suffered tho inevitable consequences of poverty and neglect, tho policy of tho Indian bureau boing to load with favors only those of its wards who defy it and deal doath to tho whites. Settlers seldom encroach upon the Sioux, those gentry boing abundantly ablo and moro than willing to tako oaro of themselves, but tho Shoshones had known long years of enervating peaco and, being hold in subjection by their chief, becamo tho natural prey of tho whites, who mistook subordination for subservience, as is natural to freeborn Americans and as easily adopted by fellow citizens of for eign birth and who soon' began to en oroaoh on their own account, stealing Shoshono crops and cattlo and promptly accusing tho army ofllccr on'duty as agent of cattle stealing and all around rascality when ho reseized the oaptured ?took. Then, while this badgered offloial was defending himself in court, the 8ho i.'C"?-i3d-te <5df??Cd themselves la tho flold, and that poripatotio buffor between the 'oppressor and tho oppressed, tho corporations and the cranks, tho law and tho lawless-vtho much bedeviled aruiy_yfas sent oKt as usual to receive tho slings and arroVs of outrageous fo tune and of both Yartloa Finding difficult to Bwindlo tmShohonos so Ion us their now agent?tV army agent remained in power, th\ obvious thing was to down him by mVopresentation at Washington ?l??a ST work' by de'-*? they dYffi.^Jbe IcwaMaw. v.V?\ ^??iust lying ^Iiwi fu wafl * v?ft and they could to como into nm?t .tu como into court and conrp0| un. ?U0Ceufc n,ul l0?vo his urn pruvo bimscli ?

"You can straighten matters out in a month," said tho commanding officer to Major Wayno, who had hastened back from tho cast to take command, and when it came to selecting tho troops to go, oven though it lnokcd less than two months to his wedding day, Will Farrar gloried in tho fact that his was ono of them. It is hard to concoivo of a lot in>whioh a spirited, soldiorly follow of 21 oould possibly be happior than commanding a troop of cavalry on expedition through so glorious a couu try. Amory's troop and Lcale's wore designated, and, the latter oaptaiu boing still in Berlin and tho senior subaltern on staff duty in tho east, Farrar was his own captain and troop commander and, dcBpito tho troubles of tho Christmas season, long siuco buried so far as ho was concorned, just about tho happiest fellow that woro tho army blue. Tho expedition hud proved oven lon ger'thanwas phumod, hut at last, whilo Wayno, with Aiuory and tho recaptured cattlo oud rounded up Shoshones,. went over tho Owl Creek mountains to render account of bis stewardship at Fort Washakio, Will wos told to mnko Ihc best of his way homeward with his own command, and, marohing loisurely along in the radiaut spring mornings through'a country unmatched for wild beauty in all America, shooting, fish ing, plunging in mountain streams, sleeping droamlcssly in tho open air by night, they reached the valley of tho Platte toward mid-June. Tho blessed landmark of tho Eagle bnttes cumo in sight ono peerless morning, Tho bluo summits of the Medicino Bow loomed up across the horizon to thesouthonst. The flag tipped bluffs of old Fort Frayno would greet their eyes beforo tho closo i of tomorrow's march, and so they did, but with a raging torrent tearing at their base, and this was Monday and loss than 48 horns or Will's weuumg day. Meanwhile thoro had been a partial rouuion within the walls of tho fort, and already a joyons bevy of army folk had gathored in anticipation of the Juno wedding, with Kitty Ormsby as thocen ter of attmotion, since sho was tho colo nel's niece and ho was to givo her away, and Wayno was to bo host man by order of tho bride, provided ho didn't get things mixed in bis own inimitublo way and tnrn, up unexpectedly at somo ouo elso's affair, as ho did tho night of (he Willotts' dlnnor to Captain and Mrs. Billy Ray of the ?th, whore, with army bonhomie, a scat was squeez ed in oloso bosido'that of tho winsome guest of tho ovening, nud whore he was charmingly welcomed and made at homo despite tho faot, whioh dawiiod upon him only with tho ohampaguo, that ho was due at the Amorys', where a similar fuuotion was boing hold in honor of tho Truscotts of tho same regi mint, then on the march from to Mva.Mlui "Ycu'll mo It, Kitty, that ever you insisted on my having Wayno ifor best man,'* wrote poor Will, With prophetio i.n' unavailing protest "Wayne saved my Willy," was tho positivo rejoinder, and no one hut Wayne would do. "Ail right," said Will, "if you find yoars later that (hero's been some f*.tal flaw iu the proceedings, don't blame me. " But hove, on this glad June morning, all sunshine ami scrouiiy aloft, all per tuibattou at, tho post, all raging river about It, 1? looked fiH though tho pro ceedings theuiMeUis would l>e dolay<}d and that instead of ft military weddiag like a modern Leandt*, twain .his wild wettern Hellespont in search of his bride. Far away to the east tho flood* had swept their battering ram of logs I and trees and dashed it against the bridgo abutments at tbo railway, and, thongli thoFarrars were safely here and bad been for several days, Kitty's train, that which bore her and Jack on their westward way, had been brought np standing long miles toward Cheyenne, und there was no telling when the pas seugers could be transferred to the wait ing ears upon the hither shore. And so, believing the other in waiting at the post, brido and groom elect woke to I their wedding morn to rail at fate. It would have been some comfort eon Id they have known that, though miles apart, they were at least ou the same ride of tho stream that swept betwoen them and the altar of tbeir hopes. And there was deep anxiety under the roof whom once again tho Farrars were installed, for tho mother was pos sessed with tbe fear that Willy would be mad enough to try to swim tho stream, nud, though Feu ton had had his signalmen out forbidding any such at tempt, no acknowledgment had been received to the effect that tho repeated { message was understood. An Indian who t bought ho could crosB nt Caspor rocks, several miles up stream, was swept from his pouy and only saved by the strength of his horsehair lariat. A scow that was launched at tho bond was battered to flinders, and bottle after bottle, corked aud slung long yards out into tho stream, wont bobbing dcrisivo ly away, carrying their penciled con tents with thom. Arrows, with 6ilkcu strings attached, dropped helplessly in tho6treani. Bullets, similiarly tethered, snapped their frail attachments and whistled over the opposito shoro and told no talo other than that of anxiety. Every fioldgloss at tho post, when brought to beer, revealed Farrnr at 1) o'clock of his bridal morning striding and probably swearing np and down tbe bank, tugging at his tiny mustache and Bprouting beard and possibly threaten ing self destruction. It was u thrilling sccuo. Then, many other people seemed har dened with troubles of thoir own. Ellis hud novcr recovered cither strength or spirits since the events cf that Christ mas week, and her lovely face wr.sthin, and tho bright, bruvo eyes of old were shadowed with a pathetic sorrow; but though this shadow had come into her life >.nodier oue, much hurdcr to boor, had beeu swept aside. Ever since her lover's words had revealed to Ellis that it was her. owu brother, to save whom Malcolm Ideale had periled lifo und lost his sight, tho girl's eyes t:ci med grad ually to opeu to tho utter cruelty of hor suspicions, tho injustice of her treat ment of Helen Daunton, tho woman whoso lifo that very brother had well nigh wrecked forovcr. In tho long hours of her convalescenco sho had turned to Holen iu humility that was sweet to soo, and now the lovo and trust between them was something inexpressible, But thero was something oven Helen could neither explain nor justify, and that whs Jack Onnsby's conduct, sinco her convalescence. Truo, Ellis had told him in their last iutorviow that all* was at an end between them; that ho had forfeited trust, faith and eveu respect and placed a barrier 'between himself and her fomver. . Sho had refused him further audience, aud her iust words to him had been fall of scorn, oven of insult. But no word of anger cv resoutment had escaped him, Iand surely 0 mau who deeply loved woum JKvcuor auger now. sunning ner Sri ' gir* nnrt -brown herself on ?iir.'L s breast just before thoir return to Frayne and told a part of her story until theiveoncealed?how, in their last interview, Oruisby hud gently said that ho would vex her no more with his pleadings, but if a timo should over coino when her eyes wore opened und when sho could believe him honest and worthy he would como at her call, and sho had humbled herself and called, but all in vain. To Helen sho had told tho whole story of that humblo letter and that neither by word nor sign had ho acknowledged it. But Helen saw a ray of hope. The little note had been intrusted to Wayne lato Thursday night, and ho hud prom ised to deliver it oarly Friday morning, and all that day had Ellis waited eager ly, and nightfall came without the look ed for visit. Wayne oamo on Saturday to convoy some conventional T?ords of farewell from both offlcor/, "So sur prised to hear of tho sadder, .return from California; so sorry not to have seen thom, but timo was vory short, and"?I would she uevor hear tho lust of tho Sov enth?"Ormsby had had to attend tht review nt the armory Friday night, and then thero wr?*? ??"??* t!~o *^ ?Ho'n Leah and get him aboard, for their good ship sailed at 7 a. m. to catch the early tide at Sandy Hook. Falteringly Ellis had asked if he were sure he had given Ormsby hor note?if?if Mr. Onnsby hud read it. Wayno was qnito positive. Rnt Holen would not believe, nnd with unabated hope she awaited Wayuo's return to tho post. Thoy ar rived a week before him, for on leaving bis charge at Washakio the previous month he had hurried straight to Wash ington in response to n summons from the secretary of war, had made his re port and then gone to Now York. Not until the Monday before thoueddiug did he roappear, and thon only by de termined offort did Holen corner him loug enough for cross examination. "Certainly^*' Bald Wayne. "I remem ber the note perfectly well. I put it With oho from tho club that I found there and handed both to him togothor. He'll be hereto the wedding, Ho'scon ing right along with Kitty. I'll ask lum ?gain, if you like." "Don't dare over mention it, major, or that I askod any questions concern ing it How long has ho been back?" askod Helen, with vivid interest, an other quest ion uppermost in her mind. "Not a week. Just back, yon know. I only saw him a minute. I wbb just stort ing for tho train. Ho looked astonish ingly wolh and, you know, I forgot to ask was Lealo hotter. Ho was full of his wedding preparations." "Her wedding preparations?Kitty's ?you mean, do yon not, major?" "No, his; I givo yon my word Ho said sp, you know. Ho told mo the lady's unrac?pnrt of it, at least. Effle something. I oan't recall it just now. Ho'll tell you. Oh, it was all on that account, yon know, Kitty conldn't start soonor. Sho had to wait for him. " Helen was astounded. It was nows b!io deolorod she would never believe, nnd yet she remembered having hear 1 mon tion of an attractive cousin, a Miss Eflle Loalo, and might it not be possiblo that in his wanderings with iho blinded In valid, with his owu soro heart, Jac k " v bad met nnd found consolation 1 o thin toir rolativo of his stricken friend, that sho 5n turn had quickly learned to admire tho manly fellow who wns so dovoted to their particular hero?

Tho salaries ?od expense,, in elm'in/ one deteetlvo sTnd the clerk in my office, amounted to $47,726 01. Thirty-one constables are assigned to the upper and twenty-four to the lower division. The upper division bus ..been, much harder to handle by reason of the proximity of North Car olina and the mountain distilleries. The amount of whiskey and brandy seized iu the upper division for the East year was 3,345 gallons, ninety arrels of beer, 8.070 gallons of older and beer In bottles, twelve vehicle? and sixteen head of mules and horses, and ten Illicit distilleries were destroy ed. In the lower division there were seized and confiscated 6,090 gallons of whiskey, wine and brandy, thirty-nine barrels of beer, twenty-t?o hundred and fifty-live gallons of beer and older in kegs, tin eo vehicles and four head of mules and horses, one illicit distil lery was destroyed. The resistance to the law In the uppor tier of the coun ties adjoining the North Carolina line and In the oounty of Charleston has been most stutooru. to the remaining counties of the State a healthy condi tion exists aod the citizens are almost unanimous In support of the law, and I am glad to report that the law Is being better enforced throughout the State at large as is shown by the scales of the dispensaries and the number of convictions of illicit dealers In the State and municipal courts. Tbo violations reported to my office show a largo decrease and the dally reports of the constables show a bettor state of feel in/ throughout the State at large. In the counties of Oconee, Greenville and Chesterfield oiffioultles have been had with traders coming from North Carolina. These despera does invariably go armed to the teeth with a determination to resist the ollicers to tbo extent of losing their lives if necessary. In Oconee a das tardly attempt was made to assassi nate the constables almost at the doors of tho court houso and they narrowly escaped with their lives. Tho good people of tho county became indig nant and an honest attempt has been made to bring these offenders to jus tice. In two instances the constables have been cornpolled to shoot down theso desperadoes, and although fully justified and acquitted by the courts of the land of any wrong, thoy have been hounded dowu by the newspapers opposed to this law and branded as common murderers. The only way to deal with such offenders Is to let them know that tho law will bo enforced oven If it be necessary to take their lives. We have boen greatly embarrassed by tbo decision of the United States Court which allows tho Importation of whiskey for " personal " uso. The mat ter is now before the United States Su premo Court and if our position is sus tained there will bo little troublo In putting an end to the illicit traffic. One of the best evidences of tho de oroaso in tho illicit traffic is tho de crease in the number of licenses Issued by the United States Internal revenue department. For tho year ending June 31, 1890, there were issued to purties outside of dispensa.-les 315 licenses and one whole salo license included. Of these 100 were tuken out in the city of Charles ton. For tho same period ending June 31. 1895, 720 licenses were taken out. Of this number 107 were taken out in the city of Charleston, showlug a de crease of 405 in tho State and an in crease of thirty three in the city of Charleston. For tho year ending Juno 30, 1897, there have been issued so far to illicit dealers 173 licenses of which 18*? were taken out for Charleston, among th*..-.t four wholesale licenses to dealers in that city. For the same period the previous year thero are 390 licenses to illicit dealers, 157 of which were taken out iu the city of Charles ton. It will thus be seen that for the rovenuo year ending June 30, 1890, tho State at large showed a deerease of 30 por cent, while the city of Charles ton showed an increase of over 20 per cent. Since tho 1st of June 1890, tho Stato at large shows a decrease of over 42 per cent., while the city of Charles ton for .he same period, under the metropolitan police shows a decrease, of over 20 per cent. It is another signillcant facL that in the counties of tho State where public sentiment has upheld the law, as for Instance, tho county of Abbeville, the sales of the dispensary have fallen off. Thus show ing a decrease lu the consumption of whiskey and a promotion of the cause of temperance. During tho holidays one instance of tho commission of crime of which whiskey was the direct can o was reported in the State and tho Christmas holidays were marked for their sobriety, ipeaco and quiotudo. During the recent State fair held in tbo eity of Columbia, 20,000 people were reported to have beou upon the grounds Thursday and not an arrest for drunkenc88 was made in tho elty. Tho samo record has been mado in every county Ir tho State. The greatest problem that 1 have to meet s*.nce my connection with the dis pensary law has been its proper en forcement In the elty of Charleston. There are more friends in this city to tbo law than an outsider who has had no dealings with them would imagine, but it has como to bo a political and a social question in that community and a great number of its friends have not tho temerity to publicly uphold it. I realize that to bo polite in dealing with this question meant to bo false to tho great majority of tho people of South Carolina and untruo to those who had elected mo and I determined upon an aggressive policy towardb this - city. The question narrowed itself down simply to this : Whether the illicit traffic and contempt of law and order should prevail In Charleston and bo restrained in the rest of the State or whether I should support and en force the law with a strong hand, giv ing equality to all men. Seeing the increase I amount of Illicit sales of whiskey in this city and the contempt with which tho officers of tho law were treated and having warned the mayor and olty council repeatedly of my in tention to no avail, the State commis sion consisting of the governor, the secretary of State and the comptroller general, was. called together and thor oughly reviewed the situation. They unanimously agreed that tho only courso left was to uso every powor for tho enforcement of this law placed in our hands by tho General Assembly, or to abandon tho city to the barkeeper and i urn seller, we decided on the former course. I expeoted nnd so did the otbor members of tho board to re colvo tho condemnation of this olty and of tho enemies of tho dispensary law throughout the Stato, but I deter mined to do my duty and failing in tbat, to recommend to you such legis lation as I dot med necessary to meet the oaso. The metropolitan police has proved a success in every sense of the word and I am satisfied if left to a veto of lbo.honest, Christian, law-abiding citi zens of Charleston, freed of political ivalloc, they would sustain It. In the first place It is admitted by its enemies that the chief of the foroe and the police are moro effiotent and have given better service than any in the history of the oity. Tho polloeman as a political ward heeler has been de stroyed and even Mr. Barnwoll, chair man of the opposition and a bitter op ponent of tho law and the police, in an Intervlow In the city paper after the hist ejection, Hut? d that Marshal Mar tin and hit entire force had acted with absolute impartiality and had perform ed their duty faithfully. Praise from Sir Hubert is praise Indeed. Tbe only ol j -otlon seems to bo tbat the elty has been deprived of one feature of home rule, and this has been tbe slogan in the absence of any meritorious objeo Whtit it home rule 'i Does it ineau the absolute power of a municipality to abrograte and nullify tb j statute laws of a sovereign State? Does it mean tho submission of tbe lives and homes of hottest citizens to a govern ment of rumsellers and illicit dealers in whiskey ? Does it mean tbe free parade through the avenues of lawiess Italians with whiskey barrels wrapped in the flag of the Union ? If so, then let this conception of Jefferson perish in South Carolina. Under tho laws of thiB State, police officers are Stato of ficers. Municipalities are formed for the purpose of aiding the State gov ernment in onforolng tho laws of the State. They are intended as subordi nate limbs of the government, and when they fail to perform their functions they should be put under State control, or have their charters repealed. It has been contended that the police have been taken from tbe control of the citizens. This is untrue. They are in tbe hands of native born Charlestoniane, whose interests are linked with those of tbe city. They are under the control of a chief who has enjoyed tbe confidence and respect of tbe city, aud they cannot be other wise under tbe law. The report of the commissioners has been made to ine as Chairman of the State Board, and I herewith- transmit it to you with tbe hope that it will be printed, for this Is the only way that it can be done and laid upon tho desk of every member of tbe General As sembly. The following tablo of oases of arreBts made for being drunk aud drunk and disorderly is taken from the Recorder's docket, polico court, during tbo period extending from January, 1800, to November, 1896 : 1890, 294 j drunk and disorderly, 507 ; total, 801. 1891, drunk 272 ; drunk and disorder ly, 577 5 total. 849. 1892, drunk, 192; drunk and disor derly, 498; total, 090. 1893, drunk, 110; drunk and dieor dorly, 290; total, 412. 1894, drunk, 120; drunk and disor derly, 339; total, 459. 1895, drunk, 101; drunk and disor derly, 304 ; total, 405. Prom January 28, 1895, to November 30, 1895, drunk, 77; drunk and disor derly, 2-13; total 320. From January 28, 1800, to Novomber 30, 1890, drunk, 74 ; drunk and disor derly, 203; total, 277. It will thus bo sceu that tho total drunks und drunks and disorderlies have grudually decreased from 801 in 1890 to 277 in 1896 under metropolitan police?a dee re use of nearly 35 per cent. During the year 1896 thero wore bound ovor by tho Magistrates for vio lations of the dispensary law 231 cases. Their names and and residences ar duly given in tho report. Of this number 32 bavo been tried and con victed and have paid into the county treasury $5,250 In tines. A better showing than this would have been made, but for the fact at tho last term of court ovory case wad continued upon the ailidaviis of attorneys who claimed to be sick and were Been upon the strcots tho next day. The grund jury found 24 additional true bills. In 1895 not a conviction was bad, tho grand jury refusing in many cases to Und truo bills. It is a notablo fact that two of tho city council who were sworn to enforce this law, wero among the number indicted and against whom truo bills were found. Possibly tho best evidence of tho effective work of tho force would bo a comparison of the sales from the dispensaries. The amount of diBpensary profits paid to the city and county during the first, second and third quarters of 1895 and tho corresponding time for 1890 is as follow:- I 1895? Paid city and county, first quarter, $1,436 88; second quarter, $2,995.72; third quarter, $3,192.42 ; to tal, $7,025.02. 1896? Paid city aud county, first quarter, $4,440.41 ; second quarter, $4,984.26; third quartor, $5,627 39; total, $15,052.06. Gains in profit under metropolitan system to tho city and county, $7,427.02 ?nearly 100 per cent. The polico mado during the year 1896 502 raids and recovered 418 bot tles of whiskey partly filled, 39 bottles of wino partly filled. 70 demijohns of whiskey partly filled, 6 kegs of whis key partfy tilled, 5 half barrels of whiskey partly llllod, 42 full half bar rels of whiskey, 54 ten-gallon kegs of whiskey, 16 cases of whiskey, 88 kegs of beer and 10,304 bottles of beer. Tbe raids whero no seizures were mado bavo not been entered. Thirty-one ex-barkeeper? and illicit dealers havo been made to discontinue their business, and most of them have left the city. The polico department consists of the powers conferred by law upon tbe department. Tho strength of tho force is as follows : Ono marshal and chief of polico, threo lieutenants, two order ly sergeants, eight lino sergeants, one chief deteotive, threo detectives, sev onty-threo privates, four gatemen, two draymen, five drivers, ten special otllcors. Tho discipline of the forco has been thoroughly maintained ; the morals and efficiency kept up to a high stand ard. As an evidence of tho superior character of those appoint, d it is worthy of noto that tho city has gained $655.50, saved by the difference in lost time, caused by sickness, etc., as against tbo past year under the municipal management. No criticism as to tho management and cthcicrcy of the forco has been inude even by itb bitterest enemies. Tho work of tho department, as tho foregoing will show, with referonco to the dispensary law in comparison with the old regime, not only vindicates tbe course whloh brought about the establishment of tbe tystem to any unprejudiced mind, but proves the necessity that exists for Its continuance, except to tho political machine. Tho decrease of arrests for drunkenness and drunk und disorderly cases and the increased yield to the city and county of disponsary profits, tho largo number of convictions of dispensary < ffenders and thu amount of tines collected and turned into the county and city treasuries, is o. idence enough of faithful woik. Much more effectivo work could havo been accomplished by tho de partment had another tribunal been open to thom whero cases could havo been promptly prosecuted when made by tho officers. As tbe law now stands violators can only ho reached through the court of General Sessions, which convenes only threo times a year, and it is impossible under such conditions to try one half of the cusos brought against the violators of tho Jaw. Dur ing the Pobruury and Juno terms of tho court last year tho polico depart ment made a handsomo showing, but was seriously hadicapped in their efforts at tho November term by a con tinuance of cases against tbo most no torious blind tigors in tho oity. These delays naturuily embolden thoso en gaged In this unlawful business, and make It moro difficult to suppress tho illicit sale of liquor. . In the enforcement of the dispensary law tho polico force havo not neglect ed their duty in tho detection of other offondors against tho peaco and good order of tbo oity, and no complaints bavo been mado on this score. Capt. J. Elmoro Martin has onforced the laws In an aggressive and vigor ous mannor. Notwithstanding tho hundreds of arrosts mudo and tho in tricate and delicate questions ho has had to deoldo as tho executlvo olllcer of tho department, on overy occasion he has displayed the ability to amica bly adjust the Issues involved. Ho and his efficient force and the police commUslonors deservo tho thanks of all good oltlzens In placing Charleston upon a* high a plane as tho other cities of tbe Stato. So far as tho other cities of tho State are concerned, I am happy to stato that the municipal authorities in , every instance have shown a desire to eu-operato wih the State adminlstra tiou In enforcing this law, and while we do not claim to have entirely stamped out the illicit traffic, all good citizens must admit that in Columbia, Greenville, Spartanburg and the smaller towns * better feeling exists and earnest ifforts are being made to enforce the law. I deeiro to call your attention to a feature of the law wblob I think could be dispensed with. The county beards of control In most instances do oot con trol. They could easily be abolished and their duties Imposed upon the State board of control, and three or four inspectors, whose duty would be to visit the county dispensaries from time to time and see that they are properly conducted. There have been sevoral shortages in the accounts of county dispensers and they have been invariably the re sults of negligence on the part of the county board of control. Theao delin quent dispensers have been promptly reported by me to the Attorney Gen eral with Instructions to prosecute, and be has perforated bis Uuty in u manner deemed best by bim. it is uo argument against this law because forsooth an officer occasionally errs and becomes unworthy of his position. Wo might as well argue that the banking system should bo destroyed because a cashier occasionally goes astray. There are good men and hon est men and they can be hud to till these positions. It is your uuty not only to the dispensary law, hut to the Reform movement and to those huviug its interests at heart, to investigate this business from Its organization to the present time. If anything wrong is discovered, let It bo ventilated aud punish the guilty parties and rebuke tho slanderers. This should be done not only with the dispensary, but with every department of the State govern ment whore tho slightest wrong doing is suspected. In this way aleno can ] your government bo kupt honest ami bo perpetuated. -???. - nS mm saw fi;E r*CTS in guba. THK TRUTH PROM HIGH SOUR CES. Seoul or l '.leef II. D.

At the very outset 1 will say that everything I saw and heard taught me that Spain is unable to cope with this Inourrection. She will never put it down : Spain will never end this war with victory to herself. This is also tho opinion of Consul General Fritz Hugh Leo, and he has heretofore expressed it to Seoretaiy Olney. Ho has told tho Secretary of State that tho insurrectionists, wheth er soon or late, were bound to succeed. The last thing General Fltz Hugh Lee said to me as I left Havana was : '?Pleuse see Secretary Olney and tell him that to-day I am more (irmly convinced than ever that Spain cannot put down the insurrection, and that every day it continues meaus a loss ol life and property, without the remotest encouragement of any final Spanish success. As I long since told him, the insurrection will succeed. My judg ment to that effect receives daily con firmation." Yesterday I saw Secretary Olney and communicated to him General Lee's message. I am not permitted, however, to make public Mr. O.uoy's comments. Last Tuesday, uccompanicd by Gen eral Lee, and with Mr. Diane, a clerk of our Consulate at Havana, to act at interpreter, I called on Captain-Gen eral Weyler. Ho received me with great kindnessaud cordiality, and said bo was glad I had visited Cuba. " I am only sorry that more mem bers of the American Congress cannot come and take a look at the situation here for theniselvon," said General Weyler as ho shook me by the hand. No one should make a mistake con cerning General Weyler. He is a small man physically, but of greataud evident power, full of alert, nervou action. He does not hesitate in hl& replies, und speaks rapidly and with an emphatic confidence. He bad just returuid from u visit to the front wUjCii 1 met him. " I am sorry you wcro not here," Bald General Weylor, " when I left on my trip to the Iront. I wouul buvo been pleused to have had you uccompuns me." The Spanish newspaper.- hud been c? mmenting on my own personal ah bence, two days before, from Havana, and bad called it " u mysterious dis appearance." I bud, however, only been up the country about thirty mib s. 1 mentioned my absence and the news pap< r comments to General Weylor. ?? l uin glad you went," he replied. "It will show others that such trips can be made with safety. That is the state of affairs. I would like to prove to the world that the country round about hero is safe from Insurrec tionists." Tho country round about, however. I will say right here, is not safe from insurrectionists. Tiny are so close and powerful that to-day tho insurrec tionists levy a lux on ull the fruit, vegetables, milk, corn and meat that enter Havana fiom the country. Ii is a tax like a tariff, aud goes to the height of about 26 per cent ad valorem. Not a mouthful of Cuban product is to day eaten in Havana that does not pay a tariff to tho revolution. In this In* direct way, Weyler himself is contri buting to the revolution. "Very soon," fcaid General Weyler, while talking to me, ' I shall announce that the provinces of P.nar del R o, Havana, Matanzas and Lusi Vilas are pacified." Wey ler repeated tho phrase "very soon" several times with em phasis. " What do you mean by 'pacified,' General?" I asked. "Explain tome tho conditions which will exist in these provinces after you havo 'pacified' them." " Why," roplicd General Weylor, "general bUSlnCS) will bo resumed and go on us it did before tho insurrection. Tho insurrection, with tho Insurrec tionists, will have disappeared in theso four provinces." " Do you mean," I said, " that busi ness will bo resumed as heretofore, but only within the prescribed z >nes around your garrisons und fortified towns V" "No, no," replied tho General. "Not at all. 1 mean that work will bo resumed all over, In the country, as weil as in tho cities and around them. Evorywhoro thero will bo poaco in these four districts. Thero will bo then no insurrectionists there to dis turb; work will bo resumed on sugar estates and on the tobacco farmp. Everything will go back to the condi tion of peace which existed before there was any Insurrection, an 1 with tho same freedom. Our commeroo and t:ado with the United States will bo resumed as old." I asked General Woylor what his dpinlon was of tho attitude of tho United State?. " I realizo," bo answered, "that the e of the United States sympathise Highest of all in Leavening Power.?Latest U. S. GovTleport Baking Powcter Ab&omjteily puke I with tho insurgents, but with the ad ministration at Washington tbere oan be no complaint. It has kept faith witb Spain." M You bavo, then, no complaint to roako of tbo action of the govcrnmont as a friendly neutral In this contest V" I asked. "No complaint whatever," was the reply. "It Is, of course, to the interest of the United States that tho war should bo onded and Spanish supre macy in Cuba restored as soon as pos sible, as the commerco of your country with tho island has suffered a great deal, and all the United States has made from tbo war was tbo sale of a little ship armor." In explanation of what Weyler in tends, touching tho provinces of Hava na and Matanza and tbo cleaning out of tho insurrection therein, prepara tory to his coming declaration that "They aro padded," I will say that he is at. once arranging to withdraw some 25 MX) to .10,000 of tho 00,000 soldiers from his trocba and send them into these provinces. They aro expected to drive out tho rebels. I General Lie, our Consul-General, is j very popular with all sides here, and has the conUdence of both tho Spanish and tho Cubans, llu Is plain, straight foi v. vnl und soldier-like in bis dealings with General Weyler. At one point in my conversation with tho latter, General Lee interrupted. " 1 oxpeot to keep on making you trouble, General Weyler," he said. "1 expect constantly to 6eek the release iif your American prisoners, and will bo obliged to disturb you daily in that direction." "Never you mind, General Loe," said Weyler. You arc all right. You' aro only doing your duty, as I am trying to do mlno. You do not disturb mo at all. I have nothing but respect for you. You are a soldier, and 1 cun deal with you in a straightforward way. 1 bavo only one hope in connec tion with you, General Leo, and that is that you stay in Havana as long as 1 do." J asked Weyler whether tboro were any insurgent troops in l'inar del Rio. Elo replied that since tho death of Maceo they had QU It. Before Maceo's death it was estimated that the In surgents at l'inar del Hio numbered from 8,oou to 10,000 troops. "But they aro all gone now," he continued. " None are there now. On, there may ho a few hands of robbers, scattered bunches of outlaws, but they amount to nothiug and aro of no great numbers." "What has become of Maceo's i forces," t a'ked ; " those who were tbere at tho time of his death V Have they surrendered to you?" "No," was the reply. "None has surrendered, nor have they been cap tured, but they have quit their light ing and go-no hack to their farm work. They no longer aro Insurrectionist." At this point 1 am obliged to dis agree with General Weyler. At the time of Macro's death there was a force, as I slated, of fully 8,UU0 insur rectionists in l'inar del Rio. My best information it that they aro there ytt. They have been neither killed off, cap tured nor dispersed ; nor have they crossed the trooua to the oast. They are still in the hills of l'inar del Rio, with arms in their hands, as formidable to Spain as ever, savo for the death of M acco. Weyler also informed me that there were only a few scattered hordes of rebels in tho province of Havana : that tho insurgents now appeared in no positive or formidable foice in that province. Yet only a fesv days before my arrival the Insurgents three nights 10 fciiccession attacked tho city of Guan abacoa, of li?.UliO inhabitants, within four or live miles of t he city of Havana, and burned twenty-Hv bovis s. They were unopposed by Weyler's troops; they did as they pleased and withdrew. After the withdrawal of tho insurgents the Spanish troops occupied the place, and slaughtered twenty-seven of the pcoplo, not Insurgents. They took them to a grove near at hand and killed thorn witn their machetes. My information was that tnoy were still unburied while I was there. 1 wont out to this town of Guana hacoa and found the Spanish troops building barricades across the streets ?a strange piece of work of itself if there uro no insurgents in foroe in this region. 1 attempted to visit the grove where tbo twenty-seven pacinuos bad been slaughtered oy the Spanish troops. It was only a short distanco from the town. As I drove down the load, however, I was stopped by a Spanish guard. " You cannot go down this road," he said. "Can 1 go the other road '?" 1 asked. "You can go all tho other road-," said the guard, " but you cannot 140 tills road, it is our orders." My guido, who was with me, told me that had tho wind been rigol I might easily have been made aware of tho unburhd condition of,the twenty-seven slaughtered pacific's by my nrse. Referring again to General Weylor's statement that tho insurgents had practically been driven out of the province ol Havana, my information, rooeived from several positive and truthful sources, is that thorn are h> vi ral bodies of armed Insurgents in that region. There is General Aguirre, whoso command numbers from 1 .-? 0 to 1,400 mi n ; General Danolu with be tween 800 and 1,U0U men, and General Camillas, with not) to 1,000 men There aro also smaller bod los, and there is no possible, show for Wry lor to dlslodgo any of them, as the Spanish troops conlinc their military op ration entirely to tho beaten roads. An in surgent force a quarter of a mile either to tho right or to tho left of the plain highway is as safe, front the Spanish I troops as if they wore a thousand miles away. General Woyler more than once re-1 ferred to the fact that Cleveland and Ulney woro doing full justio 1 to Sp tin As an evidence 01 Olevolaud's p 'po larity with tbe Spanish and the high re-pect in which ho la held by them, I might menthm that In tho city of Guanabaco,* I saw a ucw sign painted 1 _I over a large shoe storrf On the sign was set forth a very ad picture of ' Cleveland, with the Airiean ?ag on ono side and the Spanu (lag on the other. \ Tho common Amcricaueople, how ever, come in for much utempt and aversion by tbe Spanis people. At one of their theatres the ther day an aotor threw down the 1 erloau Hag on tho stage and danced i it to show tho low opinion iu whit ho held it. Tho applaueo was deafen g. In their caricatures tho Spanis invariably draw anything and every ing Ameri can in the guise of a g?that is, everything but Cloveland There is a movement iw on foot, mainly with the Maiqui Apezteguia to promote It, which uulhuvo some political < licet in Cuba. tVhen I lift the island the other day i of the Marquis to start f January 10 to demand General Wey ler and Mini He is vory muohdlssatlstl ley's management of tbe orj hays that, Woylor is not trying to it down the insurrection, ar.d that d Lome is of no Spanish uso ut Wailngtou. I) charges do Lome with uoh foolish expenditure of Spanish raioy at Wa - ingtou, and says that hoas seen Ii ? accounts at tho Madr Treasury, Whioh showed that the. ^ lOlsb -Mie - ter was paying out an u rage sum of $1,600 a day at Washing n la the ua j tare of "secret service " lonoy. This would bo aside from eitl r de L >mo'a salary or tho natural ex uses of Lim and his suite. Tho Marquis Apcztcgi >, is tho head of what is known as the institutional or absolutoly loyal Spa sh party in Cuba. There are three irties there. First are the Constltut in lists, who are tho torlos of Cubn and blindly loyal to Spain. They v nt the o:d Spanish conditions rested and the insurrectionists wipi d o and burned out, root and branoh. rimu there ^as the plan Madrid on ? recall of rde Lom with Wey is the Autonomist parti loyal to tho Spanish 1 wunt homo rule und se on the Canad ian plan.

I was also reliably luformedlhat other estates have not only paid fr Spanish garrisons, but have also pirated tho insurgents by producing arm.4ammuni tion and money when called upon. I suppose that the Constanoiaptato af fairs will be interesting toKmerica, as I was informed it is heuvil indebt ed to Philadelphia merohluts and money lender.-.
