GEN, WOOD WAITS CAVALRY
Horses for Ray’s Soldiers—Too
high Money Rates Charged by
the Government.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
(Santiago de Cuba, Dec. 7. —Tile work of
translating and codifying the Cuban laws
is progressing rapidly. Lieutenant Blount
haw completed the translation of the code
of the organization of the courts and the
autonomous decree and has nearly comple
■ted a digest of the railroiad laws of Cuba.
The charges of the government fiscal
agt nt« are considered here to be excessive
as they charge 1 per cent on all money
s*. nt to rhe United States; also 1 per cent
on their own drafts from the United
iStatcs. The consequence of this is that
men having large sums of money to send
off prefer sending it direct by steamer in
stead of obtaining a draft.
General Wood has <for some ’time been
aid vising the Washington governmen t that
a regiment of cavalry was needed in the
district, and he has recently been notified
i hat though they arc unable to grant his
request for a regiment, ithpy will send him
a thousand horses, carbines and accountre
ments for the -purpose of mounting two
companies in each of the white infantry
regiments in the province. The Fifth im
munes, iwbo are stationed in Santiago, will
have their two mounted companies at San
Lute?, twenty miles away, near where the
negro regiments are stationed. Those of
the Third immunets will ibe -used in the
neighborhood of Guananio, where their
regiment is stationed. Those of the Fourth
immlines will be located in the district
around Manzanillo and those of the Sec
ond Immuncs will be placed in the neigh
•borhood of Holguin.
It is expected that the horses, etc., will
arrive before the beginning of the year
-and the companies have been told of this
by the colonels of their respective regi
•ments and are now going through a course
of -cavalry instruction.
BUSS’ SUCCESSOR.
H tr-nin of Oregon or Dwis the Next in
Rank,
By Associated Press.
iNerw York, Dec. 14. —A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Il is the opinion of the leading members
of the adminisftration still in the city that
the vacancy to be caused by the resigna
tion of Secretary Blis-s, of the Interior,
will be filled -by premotion. In this collec
tion the names of Binger Hermann, com-
Rni-esioner of the general land office, anr
\ssistant Secretary of the Interior Web
ster Davis, are* both being considered.
•Both officials are personal friends of the
(president and have given excellent service
to the .party.
For geographical reasons it is thought |
•that Mr. Hermauu’s chances are the better.
•There is no representation in the cabinet
from the Pacific coast, and on -account of
■the vote of Oregon in the recent election,
*ii is thought highly probable that the pres
ident will confer the office of secretaary of
the interior upon Mr. Hermann.
Mr. Davis, however, has given ‘very val
uable campaign services in many -states,
for whic hthe president feels very grateful.

A RUBBER COMBINE.
Eight Companies Unite Under a Capitali
zation of $5,000,000.
By Associated Press.
New York. Dec. 14.-A combination of
■ail the rubber concerns of Trenton, N. J
has been formed at a meeting in this city'
The companies consolidated are the Em
pire. Globe. Hamilton. Home, Mercer and
Trenton, with the United Rubber Company
and the Whitehead Company. The capital
is $5,000,000 and the object is to economize
to meet competition.
These six companies will be operated
from one office. The consolidation will
throw many saJmes and clerks out of em
ployment. but it is believed it will in
crease the number of operatives, which is
now 1.400 to 2.00. because the reorganiza- !
hion will reach out for naw business and 1
’"ill try to lead rhe rubber business of the
country. -Nearly all lines of ruber goods
are manufactured by these factories, ex
cepting shoes and clothing. Four of these
factories owe their to Frank A.

HORRIBLE CRIME.
Details Beinjr Brought to Light in Hot
Springs.
By Associated Press.
Hot Springs. Ark., Dec. 14 —Gradually
the mystery surrounding the disappearance
from this city several weeks ago as Mrs.
Nellie J. Horne, a beautiful young woma»
who was visiting this health resort and
who the authorities believes was murder
ed by young Hardy Sheffield and robbed
of her money, is being cleared up and by
tonight Sheriff Williams hopes to have
evidence to prove that one of the most
heartless crimes ever committed in this
vicinity was that by which (Mrs. Horne
lost her life.
Hardy Sheffield is in jail charged with
the murder. The sheriff reurned to the city
today from the home of Sheffield’s brother
in (Hot Springs county where it was re
ported the body of Mrs. Horne had been
found. He brought with him a sack con
taining gruesome evidence that a human
body (had been cremated piece by piece in
Sheffield’s house. The sack contained hu
man bones, ashes and other articles re
covered from the place in Sheffield’s
house. Experts are at work making a
scientific examination of these ghastly re
licsand it is already established that the
bones are those of a human being. Shef
field’s brother, in whose (house the crime
is supposed to have been committed, was
brought to Hot Springs by Sheriff Wil
liams and placed in jail, as were also sev
eral others who are charged with being
accessories to the crime. Some startling
developments are expected today.

TURKEYS
FOR SOLDIERS
The Boys in Cuba to Have a
Real Christinas Dinner.
By Associated Press.
New York, -Dec. 14.—The United States
soldiers in Cuba and Porto Rico will not
lack for good Christmas dinners. Colonel
C. A. M oodruff, assistance commissary of
subsistence, will forward to them by the
amship Mississippi, which sails at noon
today for Santiago and Ponce, ten thousand
pounds of prime turkeys and two thousand
pounds of cranberires, which should reach
them in plenty time for their faraway
holiday celebrations. The birds will be
shipped in cold storage and will reach
ihe cooks in as geed condition as though
they had bought them off the Washington
market stands and they probably will not
cost them much either.
Colonel Woodruff said that if the gov
ernment -had not taken this action the I
soldiers would not have been able to get 1
turkey for Christmas for love or money. ■
It will be an additional treat, too, be- i
cause the men did not get any turkey for i
Thanksgiving. This was not because Colo
nel Woodruff did not think of it. but th' -1
weather was warmer than usual and cold
storage facilities, which have since been
introduced in the islands, were not in op
eration.
The Mississippi will also carry hundreds I
of privates boxes of things sent by indi- ■
viduas friends of the officers and men as |
reminders that they are not forgotten at ■
heme at his joyous season.
Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making a better ar
ticale than your competitor if you can
not get a beter price for it?
Ans. —As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
=o that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much larger
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
that your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before -the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy. The people have
been using it for years and have found
that it can always be depended upon. They
may occasionally take up with some fash
ionable novelty put forth with exagger
ated claims, but are certain to return to
the one reemdy that they know to be re
liable. and for coughs, colds and croup
there is nothing equal 'to Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. For sale by H. J. Lamar

UNLUCKY
BATTLESHIP
Accident to the Massachusetts
Very Serious.
OUT OF COMMISSION
I
Her f Keel Injured by Running on
the Reef-Gone into? Dry
dock.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 14.—The Herald says:
Naval officers believe the battleship
Massachusetts may go out of commission
and that practically a new keel and sev
eral new frames must be applied to her
before she will be fit for sea.
This apprehension has been caused by
an incomplete examination made by naval
constructors and divers which showel that
the keel is buckled for two hundred and
forty feet and the frames are twisted in
about seventeen different places in the
resistance. These injuries are the result of
the accident last Saturday, when the big
vessel struck a mass of rock near Diamond
Reef and drove over it.
The full extent of the injuries will not
be known until the ship is in dry dock.
Naval constructors were startled when
they learned the true nature of the acci
dent to the ship. They supposed that bey
ond the buckling of a few plates in the
outer skin the ship was uninjured. They
are now astonished at the fact that the
big ship di not sink and was able to go
to Tompkinsville and return to the navy
yard.
Naval Constructor Bowles’ preliminary
report forwarded to Washington on Mon
day showed that the keel and frame No.
H> were buckled badly. The report of Mr.
'Bowles sent last night showed a state of '
affairs far more serious. In a war ship the
keel is the backbone and the frames are
the ribs. The keel of a battleship is made
of steel plates and angle iron and the
frames are or heavy steel. The ship has
two skins, which form the double bottom.
The space between the two skins is di- !
vided into compartments by the keel and i
frames.
The battleship when she struck at
frame No. 6 was lifted eight inches and
the weight of the ship cruched and twist
ed the great plates and angle irons and
bent the ribs of steel. The injuries ex
tended to frame No. 78 or 240 feet. The
vessel listed slightly to port and the in
jury was more severe on that side of the
keel.
The officers who are examining the ship
found one of the compartments so lull of
water and others so badly crushed that it
was impossible to enter them. In abou"
seventeen spots, however, they found the
keel plates and iron bent and broken, so I
that new ones must be put in. The frames
however, may be straightened. At frame
No. 16 the keel frames were most serious
ly damaged. It was at this point only
that water entered the inner huh. The
man hole cover in the inner bottom was
bent unward and the water rushed into
the water-tight compartment above, the
pumps have cleared the compartment o r
water.
The cru'ser Newark is to be ’loafed out
of dry dock No. 3 this morning, but the
Massachusetts probably will not gym un
til Monday. Sa? will not rest on keel
blocks, as vessels usually do. Instead
blocks will be placed under her bilge keels
and she will be shoed upon the sides, eg
as to rel’eve the buckled keel of all pres
sure. 'She must be relieved of her entire
cargo and naval officers believe her heavy
guns wil have to be taken off also. The
shock of the accident disarranged the
delicate machinery of the forward turret.
