DECISION AGAINST THE CITY.
Writ of Certiorari Mast He Heard on
Its Merits.
Judge Falligant decided in the Superior
Court yesterday the motion made by City
Attorney Adams for the dismissal of the
certiorari of J. N. Andersen against tl.<6
Mayor and aldermen. The decision was ad
verse to the motion and to the contentions
of the city attorney.
Anderson was tried and found guilty In
the Recorder’s Court, In February, 1899, of
the offense of selling liquor on Sunday and
was sentenced to pay a fine of SICO. He
paid the fine, and his attorneys, Messrs. D.
C. Barrow and W. E. Morrison, then had
the case carried by writ of certiorari to
the Superior Court. After the sanction of
the writ by the court, process was served
upon Clerk of Council Bailey, by whom
service was acknowledged.
Mr. Adams’ motion to dismiss was based
on the ground that process should have
been served on the Mayor, instead of the
clerk of Council, and that, therefore, It
was void. This motion was argued by
Messrs. Barrow and Morrison, for the
plaintiff, and by Mr. Adams, for the and
- Judge Falligant held that ser
vice had been properly perfected and that
the Recorder should answer the writ, .0
that ft might be tried and determined on
Us merits.
RECORD YVAS ESTABLISHED.
.fudge Norwood Cleared the Criminal
Docket in Half an Hour.
Judge Norwood established a record In
the disposal of the criminal business in
the City Court yesterday morning. In
bu little more than half an hour the
docket had been cleared and the prison
ers before the court, an even dozen in
number, had been sent either to the
chain-gang or back to jail or discharged.
Ira Thomas, a negro woman, was sen
tenced to pay a fine of SSOO and costs or
serve twelve months on the chain-gang
tor the abandonment of her child. Jerry’
Davis and Paul Sykes were found guilty
of the offense of assault and battery and
received their choice of the payment of
fines of $lO and costs or six months on
the gang.
Four of the defendants were sent to the
gang for terms ranging from six to nine
months for larceny. Others were sent
back to jail, there to await the time when,
the witnesses for or against might be
secured. Three were discharged.

AS THEY NOW APPEAR.

Santiago, Cuba.—Approaching Santiago
by water from the east one Is hushed by
the feeling which historic spots inspire.
The entrance to Guantanamo is passed
long before there- is any other sign of
habitation. It looks like a dent in the
mountain range which borders the south
coast all the way from Cape Maisi. Moun
tains meet the sea in this region, and the
waves break against precipices of rock,
but at Guantanamo a border of foot hills
appears, which promise roads or trails to
a less lonesome interior. The hope of
reaching such a passage to Santiago led
to the landing of the marines at this
point, and the discovery of easier ways
at Daiquiri nnd Siboney left the marines
here to hold out against odds while the
troops went forward for greater work.
The settlement of bleach-out dwellings
looks forsaken enough In peace, and sug
gests how utterly desolate it must have
seemed to the little band who held it when
rain and fever, as W’ell as an unumbered
enemy laid siege to it.
Sailing past Daiquiri and Siboney one
is in waters where the troopships hov
ered on the lookout for landing places.
Here the soldiers took to small boats,
which were rowed Inshore in the face of
a peppering fire from te Spaniards, and
with the guns from American wars’wps
thundering behind them—a shivering ex
perience even for men loaded with over
coats and blankets on a July day in the
tropics. One may easily see the landing
spots along shore and the bridges which
the naval guns shot partly away in driv
ing off the enemy. Hero the foot hills
spread further inland than happens east
ward, and from the waters hereabout the
first glimpse is had of Santiago’s Moro
Castle, a white pile crouching against the
horizon.
Under a canopy of softest bine the ship
plows its way' through Indigo waters,
shading to purple where cloud shadows
rest, nnd to bright emerald over pitches
of shoals. Morro grows as it driws tipir,
as If, roused from sleep, it had 1 raised is
grim head to see who approached. Slowly
its recumbent bulk gets into sitting pos
ture. and then, as slowly rises until, on
close approach, it stands overhead, its Yel
low battlements bulging skyward, like
giant sinews. With its scarred breast
blotched with crimson, its otnsiret hed
arms steamed with thick gray muscles, an!
its monstrous frowning brow, it stands a
sentinel fit to guard against a host Great
peaks pierce the blue along the coast in
either direction, and stretch landward, in
capacious areas of green, brown, and red
surface to the furthermost limit of space.
Where the sea breaks at Morro’s feet
great caves appear tn the rook, showing
how the Vesuvius tried with her dynamite
guns to knock from under the fort the
foundations nature built for it. and let the
mass above plunge Into the depths. The
passage Is so narrow that It would utterly
have disappeared had this occurred. Hap
pily, for art’s sake, if not for war’s, the
havoc worked by dynamite but added a de
tail to the finest scenic picture In the An
tilles, and to-day from Morro’s embras
ures, explosives dropped downward, with
slight aim save that of gravitation, would
bring disaster on the sternest craft that
might try that passage. Along the pas
sage for I.CCO yards the flanking hill?
thick with fortifications none massive like
Morro’s, and some mere crumb ing ruins
of pale y’ellow stone, others upheavals of
earth where batteries might be masked,
but all so well placed as to make it sem
Impossible that an enemy could ever pen
etrate.
How the Merrimac got within would be
not short of marvelous, but for the infinite
capacity for blundering which the Span
iards displayed throughout the war. Twen
ty feefof red spar and a shorter length
of unpainted yard arm show where th -
Merrimac lies, at the inner end of the pas
sage. well-past the Morro and her chief
land supoprts. She is not quite out of (he
| channel, but along one side, the broken
rudder that presented Hobson from throw
ing her across that passage having le t
I her so close to the track of travel that
j from the deck of an entering vessel one
i may flip a coin to the surface under which
she Is buried.
The harbor basin begins near where the
Merrimac wank, the water line spreading
In a broad arc tef the westward and pro
viding a course In that direction for ves
sels of moderate draught around a fisher
men's island, known as Cayo Smith.
The main channel continues straight on
ward, with Cayo Smith along the left
bank and a continuation of the hill* bock
of Morro to the right. Straw-roofed huts,
that a moderate northern storm might
blow over, showing what Is meant by
habitations that tropical hurricanes de
stroy, are strewn plentifully over Cayo
Smith, where i,OOO people live. The main
land bank, steep and thick with stubble
and undergrowth. Is doited here anil there
with Spanish blockhouses—small, circular,
flimsy affair* of wood, fit only for shel
ter from a blazing sun or stiff rain—and
with small dwellings, nearly all occupied
hy soldiers. Beyond Cayo Smith the
banks approach each other again. The
water sweeps inland like a widening,
slightly tortuous river, with hilly hanks
in many shades of green, and uplands
swelling Into mountains not far distant.
At a turn In the channel nhout four
miles Inland the river emerges Into on
oval basin and against a hill at the north
ern end of the basin, with the mountain
range stretching beyond until the further
peaks arc dim. is the town, a mass of
glowing color. Blue boats, with yellow
sails nnd copper-hued occupants, make
lazy headway toward various pier* or
headlands. Tugs and steam barges bus
tle about,//Ameriean fashion, mainly on
government business. The broad thor
oughfare at the water front attests the
town's readiness for buslnens whenever
It may come along. All the other roads
lead up hill through narrow streets, lined
with blue and yellow houses. Hollow
tube terracotta tiled roofs, set off with
the green of court yard trees, complete
the color scheme. At the summit of the
hill looms the Cathedral, its triple .spires
reaching out above the town in perpetual,
benediction.
The Impulse of visitors, who have been
filling up with historical emotion In the
last few hours of the journey, is to visit
San Juan hill and Morro as soon as pos
sible. One must make an eurly start to
cover these trips In a day, for the two
places are in opposite directions from the
town. San Juan hill, the easier of the
two, is usually the first to he undertaken.
It Is distant only a half hour’s ride by
sloxv coach, half the way over pavements
which Gen. Wood turned into asphalt last
year, nnd the remainder along a passable
country road, hedged with neglected un
dergrowth. There are a few unattractive
houses along the way, but the fields have
been given over tw ricxf.
About one mile out of town the coacn
draws up at the roadside, and the driver
points to a tree, a few rods away, the firs
object of respectable growth encour.tend
In the ride. It Is a fine specimen of th
ceiba, or silk cotton wood, who=e gnar ed
roots spurn the ground, and whoso
branches spread a grateful shade, roomy
enough to shelter a full regimental compi
ny. In this shade the preliminaries wer
arranged for the evacuation of Santiago
by the Spanish Army. Two barbed-wire
fences:, as wicked looking as could eve
have been stretched across a Spanish
trocha, keep visitors at a respectful dis
tance. The Initials cut in the tree of
enough Americans to stock an army tell
why this protection was needed.
After a ride of a few minutes beyond,
the coach again halts, and one may climb
a stone fence into the battlefield. The hill
probably looked much higher in July, 189’,
thnn it does now, although there la enou.h
of it to-day for all practical purposes, wl'h
the sun blazing overhead. Grass and w ed<
have grown in the trenches and hea e 1
war’s sears, but enough remain to show
where the Americans shifted the embank
ments when they hnd driven the Spaniards
out. The mounds are nearly all toward
the town, instead of toward the valley, as
first tossed up. Trenches that opposed
the main American force could never hate
been deep enough to conceal standing
men. Near the block house, however, of
which only a few scattered bricks remain,
the trenches are the real article. Nature
has not begun to heal them. They remain
as gaunt and bare as on the day they w, re
dug. Close to the trenches aie marks qf
graves, where American soldi, rs fell
They are empty, the bodies having been
sent home.
A plumb line from the crest of the hill to
(he level of the valley would probably lot
drop much more than fifty feet, but this
descent on the surface covers a elope of a
good half mile over a length somewhat
greater. In the valley Iks the San Juan
river, a limpid, lazy brook that an athlete
at this season might leap. If he misse 1
his footing at the deepest place, he could
hardly get wet above the knees. From th ■
crest also one may see the roads from El
Caney at the south and the roads and
trails among the foothills across the val
ley eastward, whence came the troop?
from Siboney and Daiquiri, who made San
Juan historic ground. There Is a farm
house acrops the river, but elsewheie In
every direAion the country is a dieary
waste of tangled grass and undergrowth.
Although the hill does not teem formida
ble, one is impressed that a Yankee force
intrenched there could net have been dis
lodged. It easily commands approaches
for at least a square mile In front. The
Spaniards had nothing to dread from the
rear. Even a lay observer must see that
persistent pluck was needed to drive them
back.
From the town to Morro the drive Is
seven miles seaward, over a road that
seems to ba all uphill whichever way it
Is traveled. Morro. In fact, has a much
higher elevation than the town. The road
skirts a precipice much of the way. It
seems perilously narrow when two teams
meet. One finds at the fort the usual
Spanish equipment of dark dungeons and
antiquated cannon. A guard house room
is interesting because of some crayon
decorations, including various portraits,
cartoons, and a reproduction of a home
newspaper which a Spanish soldier left
there. The work is strikingly good. It
must have taken time enoijglA to prove
that the man who did it was iH-behaved as
a soldier, however admirable as an artist.
This room confined the Merrimac’s crew.
Lieut. Hobson at that time occupied a
large cell on the same larnTthg. Later his
captors original landing by a flight of a
dozen steps or more. A lightning rod sur
mounted this room, and from It a Spanish
flag was said to have been floated, to
draw American fire there. Whether that
is so or not, when active firing began on
Morro Hobson was taken to town and ex
changed a few days later under the cetha
surrender tree on the road to San Juan
Hill. One may climb or descend endless
stairways In the castle, os in all Morros,
going in one direction almost to the wa
ter's edge and in the other so high that
small crltft below look tiny and large
vessels foreshortened. Only prisoners
sleep in the fort. All others are lodged
in spacious, aft-y barracks outside, w-here
the breeze is cool and there is no chance
for lurking disease.
The palace In town, where the formal
surrender occurred, Is not pretentions. Its
blue paints peels too readily for good
looks, and compared with some of the
palaces elsewhere It seems cramped and
dingy. On the walls are some pictures
of royalty and other examples of indiffer
ent painting. The Spanish oocuponts
stripped the frames from the pictures, nnd
they hang without frames, looking bet
ter, perhaps, than If they had them. The
reception room contains a large number
of chairs made of Cuban mahogany. They
are nicely finished an.l well put together,
and commend themselves as one of the
articles wholly nattve that visitors may
sincerely admire.
For those who wish to see relics of the
struggle for Cuba Libre there Is a public
museum where the atm seems to have
been to leave nothing to the Imagination.
If a Cuban of any accoun* was shot in
the body museum would collect the bullet
ixirtions of the vital parts through which
It sped, clothing worn by (he victim from
babyhood until death, his photograph and
those of his wife and children, and any
available details of family history. That
is about what the Antonio Maceo collec
tion contains. Il Includes an undershirt
and other clothing taken from his body
a year after death his boots, spurs, sad
dle, machete, sombrero, engagement ring,
notebook, and murh similar truck. The no
tion seems to be that sine-’ this was Ma
teo's home the people must bo Interested
in preserving his memory by turning a
section of glass cases Into a Maceo junk
shops.
Since the bullet holes In the arsenal and
barracks, which decorated head high the
walls of rooms in which political prison
ers stood to he shot have been plugged
up and whitewashed over, one bound to
complete the round of historic reminders
has yet the cemetery before him. A Cuban
gravyard, gaping everywhere, with ghast
ly* hollows and having always on exhibi
tion a pile of bones dispossess- and for non
payment of rent, Is th" last place for rev
erent memories. A gravt well preserved
here, however, and always Invested with
melancholy lntertst to Am r cans, Is that
which marks the resting place of the
crew of the Virginias, executed by Span
iards a generation ago. It now bears de
corations freshly laid by Americans,whose
thoughtful attention. In this gruesome an l
forbidding spot seems glorified.

they were of the right shade of brown, you
couldn’t tell that there were any troifa-rs.
Nothing so fight ever was contrived by
any sartorial artist who uses the English
language. But for one thing the conclu
sion would be irresistible, that they are
made on the wearers, ard worn off; that Is,
that sometimes they are changed. Gen.
Bates once -waited about two hours for a
Dato. with whom he hud some business, to
change his trousers, and those two hou
were filled with language and strange
sounds from within the house of the Dato.
But at the end of them there was the dem
onstration that the trousers could be
changed, although the mystery of their
construction was increased.
"Moro women wear trousers also, hut
they go to the other extreme. Each trouser
leg is big enough to make Backs for 4CO
pounds of bran. Each woman dyes the
flmsey silk of which she makes her trous
ers to suit herself. I saw some that were
of seven or eight colors, the different dyes
running In uneven streaks around the leg
The women wear very tight waists, but
the men usually leave their jackets unbut
toned, displaying their brawny cheats. If
a man Is a howling swell, his Jacket Is em
broidered all over with prayers and other
remarks In the Moro tongue. Sometimes
the women twist a bolt or two of gauzy,
gaudy stuff Into a big loop and throw it
over one shoulder. If the woman Is young
enough, that is all she wears."

GRAY WOLVES AS PETS.
\ Wyoming Mon Finds Them Affec
tionate and Tractable.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Gray wolves are the most favored do
mestic pets ob the ranch of A. J. Both
well on the Sweetwater river, Wyoming.
The children romp with them and have
taught them many of the amusing tricks
that earn applause In denser centers of
civilization when performed by French
poodles. There is never a thought of fear
In the relationship.
Theso wolves were captured as pups a
year ago. They were only two weeks old
and their blue eye* had not long been
open. From the snug den In which their
wise old mamma was beginning their ed
ucation they were dug out by human
hands and carried off to the ranch.
From the very first these wild found
lings exhibited lovable qualities. They re
paid caresses and kind words with every
demonstration of gratitude and gamboled
with their captors In a way that was Irre
sistible.
Like more civilized puppies, they had a
tendency to chew shoes and slippers, drag
table etoths from their appointed places,
and dig holes in treasuredflower beds, but
they never attempted to bite their friends.
As they grew bigger a playground was
fenced In for them with stout wire netting.
There to this day they disport themselves,
quite contented In captivity so long as the
children of the ranch frequently go In to
play with them and teach them new tricks.
They are grown up wolves now, with all
the strength of their species. They have
the gleaming eyes, the great fangs, the
blood-red tongues, the speed and activity
that have aroused the horror of mankind
from Little Red Riding Hood's time to
this, but the eyes gleam with fun, the
fangs are shown only In mirth, the speed
nnd activity are used In frolic. In a word,
these great hounds of the forest have ox
er ted all their doggish gifts to prove that
the wolf has from time immemorial suf
fered under the most unjust aspersions.
AVlille House China.
From the Chicago Journal.
Washington, May 12.—Broken china
from the White House commands a very
high price. Unless It is broken it is nog
supposed to be outside of the executive
mansion, and poss®ilani of a perfect
piece la prlma fade evidence of theft Iry
the possessor. But when nicked or broken
the china is disposed of by the steward at
public auction. Then collectors, profes
sional and otherwise, buy It up, and mend
it, ami add It to their collections or dis
pose of It again at a profit.
There Is a White House set for nearly
every administration. Whenever It seems
to be necessary Congress appropriated $3,-
000 for anew state dinner service. The
master and mistress of the White House
have designs made and then the service
Is made by some such maker as Havelln.
When anew service Is brought in Ihe one
which has been in use is put in a cab
inet, and Is kept for show purposes alone.
The Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, and Cleveland
sets are now thus preserved. Harrison,
when President, did not have a set made.
The Hayes set Is the handsomest and
most costly.
Mrs. Senator Fairbanks recently bought
at an old curio shop a Lincoln, a Grant,
and a Hayes plate, and considered herself
fortunate to get them at a price which
would have bought a small house. The
la#! auction held by the steward of the
While House was the 20th of last Decem
ber. Mrs. Dawes secured a fine Grant
p’ate.
There Is never any question about the
genuineness of these specimens, as they
all bear the special White House murk
which is copyrighted. There is other
china used at the executive mansion on
ordinary occasions which has no marks,
but it is not particularly choice and is not
sought after. A Rochester, N. Y., lady
recently secured a Lincoln plate and com
municated the fact to a local paper, which
•wrote It up and published a picture of It.
But their enterprise did not stop here,
for they proceeded to accuse Mr. McKin
ley of gross vandalism In smashing up
the historic crockery of the White House
and then peddling it out to second-hand
dealers. Asa matter of fact, the Presi
dent had nothing to do with it. It Is all
In the hands of the steward, anti he has
to account for every plate, saucer, or but
ter-dish. If he has not the original he
must have the pieces or the price brought
at public auction.
How Much Have They?
F'rom the New York Press.
After a man has robbed his fellow coun
trymen and been sentenced to the peniten
tiary the Interesting question Is, "How
much has he got?” How much has Weeks,
who embezzled $1,360,000? His sentence
was ten years; by good behavior he gets
out at the end of six nnd a half. If he
had remained honest be could nol have
made 31,300,000 In lifetime. If he has
hidden away $500,000 he has more than
nlrety-aeverv men In 100 make in seventy
years. How much has Syndicate Miller
up his sleeve? He goes up for ten years,
and will get out In six and a half. Referee
Kohler tried to get from this precious
scoundrel some Information about his
property. He refused to nustlrer "by ad
vice of counsel,” Mr, House, who said,
with amazing sangfroid: “You may keep
on asking question* til) the crack of doom,
but you will get no reply from the wit
ness ns to his assets. He is not going to
furnish evidence that may be used against
him on the other Indictments found
against him by the Kings county grand
Jury.''
Ferdinand Ward got ten year* and)
served six and a half for financial frauds
of huge magnitude. His transactions
upon the good name of Gen. Grant and
others involved more than $14,000,000.
James D. Fish got ten years for misap
propriation of funds. He was secretly
connected with Warts. Capt. Oberlln M.
Carter is serving a sentence of five years
in u United! States prison for embezzle
ment. It Is known that he has hidden
away a large fortune, which he will enjoy
when released. Is there no way of making
a thief disgorge? How much did the
boodle aldermen hide away? They have
been living on the fat of the land. The
trick is easy. Steal much, serve a short
sentence, accept an "honorable discharge '
and have a "hell of a time" for the rest
of your natural life.
“Ml Lota of FViliiura.’’
Robert Frank, the well-known artist, is
a self-made man, and not until he had
become self-supporting did he hat*e a
chance to pursue the rogulAr sradios whioh
moat people have in earlier life, says tho
Washington Post. When he began draw
ing for a living his workmanship was so
excellent that he had no difficulty in se
curing orders. Cne Jay he delivered scrr.o
sketches to an employer, who said: "By
the by, Frank, I want a picture drawn
in a great hurry. It Is a novel thing, a
boxing kangaroo,”
"Ja wohl,” answered the artist, "I will
have it ready to-morrow for you."
“You know what a kangaroo is, of
course?"
Frank must have been thinking of an
ostrich, because he answered with a com
placent smile:
"Ja, gewissllch. I* is a long, fall thing
mit lots of foddars." And "Feddars" has
been his nickname ever since.
How fle.-elier Rend Fronde.
Here, says the New York Press, is one
of Hamilton W. M a bin's stories of Henry
Ward Beecher: “Mr. Beecher once told
me that he nerver ate soup, that he go*
very tired of sitting through the first
course of dinner, and that he finally de
cided he would do something with that
time. He had Froude’s “History of Eng
land" nt hand, In twelve octavo volumes,
and every dny when the people filed Into
the dining room he sat down on a sofa
and picked up a volume of Froude and
read until the second course woe an
nounced. In that way he read Froude'n
‘History of England’ In two winters." 1
—The Washington correspondent of "The
Chicago Record says: “President Roca of
the Argentine Republio, President Erazu
riz of Chill, President Gumpos-Salles of
Brazil and President Diaz of Mexico,
have all given promises, more or less defi
nite, that they will attend the Pan-Amer
ican Exposition at Buffalo in 1901, and if
the plan can be carried out it will be a
great advantage to their countries as
well as to ours, but If they come they will
expect to have their visit returned. Of
course, It would be Impossible for the
President to go to (Brazil or Chill or the
Argentine republic, although he might,
without any difficulty, make a short trip
through Mexico. It would be perfectly
legitimate, however, for him to designate
a substitute, and that would offer an op
portunity for a Vice Prosldent to make
himself useful."
