A NOTED TAMMANY LEADER’S WORDS
ABOUT PERUNA, THE IDEAL SPRING REMEDY
Hon. Daniel Bangh Writes an Inter-
" esting Letter to The Standard.
Oran, Algeria, March 2(itb, 1900.
Messrs. Bussell & Coleman:
My Dear Friends.—We left home on
Feb. 2Stl>, and the first home news
met ns on the arrival here on the 24th
inst. We also received The Standard
of March 1st. I hope to get the paper
quite regularly at different points. Al
though belated, these copies of your
papers are not the less gratifying links
of interest to home and friends.
We feel absolutely assured that all our
interests, social, persona! and business
in Cedartown, are safe in the hands of
our Southern friends and neighbors.
There are no responsibilities that we
want to shirk; there are no indiscre
tions or errors we desire to have ex
cused nor to be shielded from their
just consequences. We want to act our
part as men of principle, and thus al
ways enjoy the esteem and confidence
of these Southern' friends and co-
workers.
We came here from Tangier, Mo
rocco, on a French coasting steamer.
It was a cargo boat, but with very tol
erable accomodations for passengers
and a good cuisine, running twice a
month between the two places and the
only means provided for passengers be-
tween them. The calls to receive and
discharge are freqnent, the steamer

lightered by small boats. Onr first
call was at the port of Tetuan, Morocco,
the town itself lying a few miles in
land but in plain view of the port, its
white walls and minarets forming a
beautiful picture stretching clear across
a green valley which rises with a gentle
ascent from the port, and the whole
framed by lofty, rugged moantains.
The port consists simply of a square
Moorish tower and the month of a lit
tle river not navigable for any bnt small
boats. The city of Tetuan is distinct
ively Moorish. It contains no marks
of European civilization, and is only
visited by travelers, althongh it is per
fectly safe.

tains are worked in ledges from bot
tom to top in the most scientific min
ing methods. Inclined plane railways
reach every level or stage of the mines
clear to the mountain top; tlie empty
cars are taken up anil the laden ones
let down by steam-driven cables; from
the bottom of the plane tlipse laden
cars are coupled together and a small
locomotive takes them over rails laid
on the top of the long breakwater or
sea wall, inside of which great English
tramp steamers and vessels are closely
moored, and their loads are dumped
directly, by chutes, into the vessels’
hold. The whole work is the result of
intelligent engineering, and it is to
my mind the most economical and
labor-saving method that could be de
vised.
This city of Oran is to me most in
teresting. Its situation is picturesque.
Once the stronghold of Algerian
pirates, many times the scenes of
siege and plunder by Spaniard and
Turk, its old forts which crown every
hill have a fascination for me irresis
tible and abiding.

Tourists usually go from
Tangier by mnlesn’nd camp eqnipages.
There are no roads, and wheeled ve
hicles arc not to be had in Morocco.
The bazaars of Tetnan are inferior to
those of Tangier, bnt they contain only
Moorish goods, while those of Tangier
are invaded by Jews and Spaniards
and Enropean wares. As one sees Te
tnan from I ho little port, its appearanco
at a distance of four or five miles is
most pleasing. In the clear air it seems
much nearer. The glistening white flat-
roofed houses completely cross the val
ley from monntain to mountain, and
the green valley sloping down to the
sea seems like a great highway to the
forbidden interior of Morocco—the city
its closed gateway.
We called at the strong Spanish
fortress and village of Melilla and dis
charged for a whole day a large quan
tity of garrison stores. These consisted
mostly of flour, beans, rice and pota
toes, shipped from Marseilles. The
fortress is bnilt npon and aronnd a
high rock and seems to be a stronghold
indeed. The garrison is large, bnt my
inquiries as to the number of soldiers
there were met by such widely diverg
ing statements that I cannot give it.
These ranged from 7,000 to 20,000 men,
and one can take his choice. The Moor
ish hills hack of Melilla are barren;
there is not a vestige of green or any
signs of life or soil cnltnre.

Look at these Prices
proached by a winding wall; 1
two-thirds of the way to the top is a
chapel crowned by a beautiful Gothic
tower, upon which is a gigantic statue
of tjie Virgin. Lower down, on two
of the sides of Mourdjadjo, are three
Algerian forts which are connected
by subterranean rock-hewn passages
to other forts upon the hills within
the the town and those beyond it.
These passages are carried under the
town, descending and rising with tile
surface grades. In the center of the
town, close to the port, is a beautiful
mountain, a lofty hill with an ancient
fort whose round white towers or bas
tions give one of the most pleasing
pictures to the eye I have ever seen.
The slopes down from the old fort, the
ancient moats and battery terraces,
have been planted with trees and
shrubbery and flowers; delightful
shady walks, rustic seats, and above
all the charming views over the ra
vines on one hand and over the bay
and blue Mediterranean on the other,
render this once grim and war-deso
lated spot almost a dream to the senses.
I am lingering in Oran because it
pleases me. It is a healthful spot and
the climate is mild. The change from
day to night in the tliemometer do not
range over nine degrees; the average
for Marcli lias been less than. 7 degrees.
The air is singularly free from humid
ity. Besides this, we find in this hotel
every comfort which a man can get
away 'from home. The rooms are
bright and well ventilated, the beds
fine, sanitary arrangements of the
highest modern perfection, and above
all tlie table is the best that French
cooking and ample provisioning can
bring to keen appetites.
Pardon me this long letter. I did
not intend it when I began,but simply
ran along until I have reached a point
which scares me.
Sincerely your friend,
Daniei. Baugh.

commerce, and in this form baled up

probably for other purposes. In the
