LOOT OF CUBA. Shameless Plunder By Spanish Officials. New York, Feb. 3.—The Sun's Washington correspondent telegraphs: The office of Captain General of Cuba is one of the richest prizes in the gift of the Spanish crown, Nearly every holder of it at all times has made it his chief business to accumulate a fortune, so that, upon returning to Spain, he may live like a grandee, or figure at court as a favorite of royalty. The office is one that is always sought by vainglorious Spanish Generals, and the rivalry among them to obtain it has often given rise to scandals that brought disgrace upon the Spanish crown and army. The war in Cuba has opened up to Captain General Weyler opportunities for enrichment such as few of his predecessors have ever possessed. In December last the Sun directed attention to some of the ways in which he has taken advantage of these opportunities during the year in which he has been all-powerful at the palace at Havana. Since that time several of the Madrid newspapers have made reference to the subject, in a cautious manner; but these references had to be suppressed when the makers of them were warned that the government would regard them as insulting to the Spanish army and as designed to impede Weyler's operations in Cuba, and to impugn his military honor and to encourage the rebels. The Captain-General himself was so much annoyed by them that he called upon the Ministry to prevent their repetition. Weyler has accumulated vast wealth in Cuba within a year. When recalled to Spain, whether after failure or success, he will be the richest general in the young King's army. He has despoiled Cuba, misused his troops, and perpetrated murder to obtain it. He has gained a part of it in the handling of the millions from Spain that have been sent to Havana. He has gained more of it by confiscation, pillage, plunder and blackmail. Towns and estates have been ravaged for the sake of the loot, or have been spared for a price. Troops have been sent to guard plantations, the owner willing to pay for them. Assessments have been levied upon planters and manufacturers as the price of safety, or for permission to engage in the work of sugar-cane grinding. Decisions have been rendered every time in favor of the parties who could buy them. Lives have been taken because the sum demanded for them was not delivered on time. It is not the insurgents only who possess a knowledge of those things; the proof of them exists at Havana, and the news of them has resubbed Madrid. There are Cuban exiles Woman's Work Is never done, and it is especially wearing and wearisome to those whose blood is impure and unfit properly to tone, sustain, and renew the wasting of nerve, muscle and tissue. It is more because of this condition of the blood that women are run down, Tired, Weak, Nervous, Than because of the work itself. Every physician says so, and that the only remedy is in building up by taking a good nerve tonic, blood purifier and vitalizer like Hood's Sarsaparilla. For the troubles Peculiar to Women at change of season, climate or life, or resulting from hard work, nervousness, and impure blood, thousands have found relief and cure in Hood's Sarsaparilla. The One True Blood Purifier. $1 per bottle. Prepared only by C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass. Hood's Pills are the only pills to take with Hood's Sarsaparilla. November, 1896, when it seemed as if the elements had conspired to bring about another ice age, and annihilate every living thing. Would the "chinook" never come? The wind veered and backed, now howling as if in derision, and anon becoming calm as if in contemplation of the desolation on the face of nature, while the poor dumb animals continue their ceaseless tramp, crying with pain and starvation. At last, on Dec. 1, at about the hour of sunset, there was a change which experienced plainmen interpreted as favorable to the coming of the warm southwest wind. At sunset the temperature was only 13 deg., the air scarceely in motion, but occasionally seeming to descend from overhead. Over the mountains in the southwest a great bank of black clouds bung, dark and awsome, whose wide expanse was unbroken by line or break; only at the upper edge the curled and serrate cloud, blown into tatters by wind, was seen to be the advance courier to the long-prayed for "chinook." How eagerly we watched its approach! How we trained our hearing for the first welcome sight of the gentle breath! But it was not until 11:35 P. M. that the first influence was felt. First, a puff of heat, summer like in comparison with what had existed for two weeks, and we run to our instrument shelter to observe the temperature. Up goes the mercury, 34 deg., in seven minutes. Now the wind has come with a twenty-five mile to the old camp and was made there. Then for nearly twelve Taber jogged along meeting with prosperity. Thousands of times, he walked over Fryer Hill, thought it worth while "to stick into it," when within twenty feet the surface lay the crest of a silvery worth millions of dollars. Every "grub-staked" men to prospect for themselves, and every season was that much, for they never fenced. For the benefit of those unfunming terms it may be said that stake" a prospector is to furnish-free of cost for a share in any minum may discover. But on the last 1878, Tabor "grub-staked" Rische They began to dig on Fryer Hill, old miners laughed at them away and at the depth of twenty-struck silver ore that ran 200 ounces. They called their mine Pittsburg. This was the fourth Taber's great fortune. In less than after the discovery he paid Hook his share, and in three months Rische $262,500 for his third; thus sole owner of the Little Pittsburgh greatest mines ever discovered at from which he received more than Taber. Taber now a konanza king more than that, he was a public open-handed citizen. He built a house for Leadville at a cost of then he built the Taber block and had chiselled on the keystone over the entrance two waft Faustes," for those were indeed he The block was worth nearly half dollars. Then he erected in D Taber Grand Opera House, second beauty to the Graud Opera House and costing $900,000. For ten years every thing went Tabor. He was rated as worth $ He became ambitious for politics He poured out money like water plish his ends. He was always b those who pretended to be his friend was given the Lieutenant-Gov which he didn't want. Then he race for United States Senate chosen for a term, made vacant both of the incumbent He was S three or four months. After his return from Washington to invest in real estate. He loaded Chicagoicago and got the w bargain. He invested in Minnesota Arizona, and old Mexico were failures. He borrowed vast mortgaged his Taber block and opera house. The panic of '93 fire work begun by injudicious investors fought foreclosure, but in vain. He took possession of all the proper His wife gave up her diamonds, few days ago the last fragment o was taken from him. Now he "d gravel. There isn't romance in any hard work. The preliminaries are proxic. The romance is always handling of the millions from Spain that have been sent to Havana. He has gained more of it by confiscation, pillage, plunder and blackmail. Towns and estates have been ravaged for the sake of the loot, or have been spared for a price. Troops have been sent to guard plantations, the owner willing to pay for them. Assessment have been levied upon planters and manufacturers as the price of safety, or for permission to engage in the work of sugar-cane grinding. Decisions have been rendered every time in favor of the parties who could buy them. Lives have been taken because the sum demanded for them was not delivered on time. It is not the insurgents only who possess a knowledge of these things; the proof of them exists at Havana, and the news of them has resided Madrid. There are Cuban exiles in Washington and New York who are able to verify every statement that has been made. Spain has reports which, if the like had not always come from Cuba, would upset the government to which the Spanish mercenary at Havana is nominally responsible. It is blood money that Weyler is accumulating in Cuba. It is through the war that he is enriched. The longer the war lasts the more to his profit. There are men who do not sorrow to say, while speaking of the trifling results that have been gained by the great army under his command, that he has barely sought to prolong the war for his own aggrandizement. They have no doubt of his military incompetency, but they believe that this is not the sole cause of his lingering success in the field. It would be impossible to entertain such a thought of any military commander other than a Spanish Captain-General of Cuba. The Madrid government shrinks from dealing with Weyler. An exposure of his practices would be rainous to it. It would serve the purpose of Canovas' watchful enemies, the Liberals, Carlists, Republicans and Revolutionists. It would have a demoralizing influence upon the soldiery of Spain in Cuba. It would undermine such credit as may be left to Spain in the world's money markets. It would discourage the royal family. It would compel the government to search for a competent and honorable successor to the present Captain-General, and there is not within sight any other than General Martín Campos, who suffered insult and humiliation last year when peremptory removed from the office of Captain-General of Cuba. It is not to be denied that under the circumstances which exist, the Ministry is helpless against Weyler. One need not believe a report recently circulated at Havana that Weyler has deposited millions of pesetas, the proceeds of his plunder, in a Madrid bank since he took command in Cuba. He is not a fool who would put the evidence of his guilt within the reach of his enemies. He possessed both the omining and cruelty of a savage. It is not likely that anybody will ever unearth the treasures which will be useful to him when he returns to Spain. There are other criminals than Weyler in the Spanish Cuban military service. Rank corruption prevails among his subordinate generals. There are many officers even of the rank of colonel who make it their main business to pillage and plunder. Unfortunate Cuba, in war as in peace, is the prey of Spain. So vast are the resources of the island in times of peace, so numerous are the opportunities of civil and military functionaries for gaining fortunes there, so greatly oppressed have the Cuban people been under the Spanish rule, that temptation may be said to have lain at every corner. The office of Captain-General at Havana has nearly always been reserved for special favorites of royalty. The place has often been bought. The royal exchequer has often been enriched by the men to whom it was awarded. In hundreds of cases since the time of Christopher Columbus impoverished Spanish aristocrats in authority have there made fortunes which were afterward dissipated in Spain. Cuba has always been an island of desire for high-born rapacity. It is as much so as ever at this time, when its fields are drenched in blood and when 13 deg., the air scarcely in motion, but occasionally seeming to descend from overhead. Over the mountains in the southwest a great bank of black clouds bung, dark and awesome, whose wide expanse was unbroken by line or break; only at the upper edge the crumled and serrate cloud, blown into tatters by wind, was seen to be the advance courier to the long-prayed for "chinook." How eagerly we watched its approach! How we trained our hearing for the first welcome sight of the gentle breath! But it was not until 11:35 P.M. M. that the first influence was felt. First, a puff of heat, summer like in comparison with what had existed for two weeks, and we run to our instrument shelter to observe the temperature. Up goes the mercury, 34 deg., in seven minutes. Now the wind has come with a twenty-five mile velocity. Now the cattle stop traveling, and with muzzles turned toward the wind, low with satisfaction. Weary with two weeks' standing on their feet they lie down in the snow, for they know that their salvation has come; that now their bodies will not freeze to the ground. The wind increases in strength and warmth; it blows now in one steady roar; the temperature has risen to 38 deg., the great expanse of snow, 30 inches deep on a level, is becoming damp and honeycombed by the hot wind, and we retire satisfied that the "chinook" is a gossine and lasting one. Twelve hours afterward there are bare brown hills everywhere; the plains are covered with floods of water. In a few days the wind will evaporate the moisture, and roads will be dry and hard. Were it not for the "chinook" winds the northern slope country would not be habitable, nor could domestic animals survive the winters. NO$1,000 NIGHTSHIRTS NOW. THE ROMANTIC CAREER OF TABOR, NOW SWINGING A PICK AT CRIPPLE CREEK. The fact that "Fortune is a fickle goddess" was never more aptly illustrated than in the career of ex-Senator H.A.W.Tabor of Colorado. A farmer, a stonemason, a small grocer, a great mine owner, a multi-millionaire and proprietor of great blocks of buildings in Denver, the possessor and builder of one of the finest opera houses in the world, Lieutenant-Governor of Colorado, United States Senator, and now a poor man once more, delving in the dirt for another fortune among the golden hills of Cripple Creek—this is the history of a man who has received more flattery and more criticism, more favors and flaunts of fortune than fall to the lot of most men. The other day a brief telegram from Denver was published to the effect that the last piece of property owned by ex-Senator Tabor had been sold under the hammer to satisfy a mortgage for $800,-000, thus closing one of the pages in a strange eventful history. November 26, 1830, this man of varied fortunes was born, and on the 26th of November, 1896, he found himself at the age of 66, as benefit of earthly possessions as upon the day of his birth, notwithstanding the fact that less than ten years ago his fortune was rated at over $6,000,000. When Tabor was rich and prosperous he was fond of recalling days of poverty and labor through which he had passed. The following facts are a condensation of his history as related by him, seated in his private office in the Tabor Grand Opera House before adversity had overtaken him: In 1859 Tabor came to Denver, leaving a farm in Kansas and a seat in the Kansas Jail. He stayed in Denver through the winter, and early in the spring of 1860, two friends drove a yoke of oxen attached to a rickety old wagon out of the city en route to California Gulch, the present site of Leadville. Runners of the finding gold in the guth had reached Denver. of incumbent He was S three or four months. After his return from Washington to invest in real estate.

Cuba has always been an island of desire for high-born rapacity. It is as much so as ever at this time, when its fields are drenched in blood and when Weyler is its absolute master. When other Spanish-American countries were under the denomination of Spanish royalty their history was in this respect similar to that of Cuba. The Spanish generals and other old-time rulers, from Louisiana to Patagonia, were mercenaries of the pressest character, rapacious as the rulers of Roman provinces in the days of Rome's decline, or as those of Turkey's provinces during the ages of Turkish decay. This trait of Spain's rulers for her foreign dependencies was one of the chief causes of the revolutions that gave independence to all the continental countries of Spanish-America. Spain has learned nothing from these revolutions. At this present time she gives to a jobber of boundless rapacity the power to plunder Cuba. Her dishoored flag must be driven therefrom as it has been driven from so many other countries. HOW THE CHINOOK COMES EVEN THE CATTLE IN MONTANA RECOGNIZE THE FIRST BREATH OF THE BENIGN WIND. Picture to yourself a wild waste of snow, wind beaten and blizzard furrowed until the vast expanse resembles a billowy white sea. The frigid air, blowing half a galon, is filled with needle like snow and ice; stalks which sting the flesh like the bites of poisonous insects, and sift through the fine crevices. The sun, low down in the southern horizon, looks like a frozen globe, with halves, crescents, and bright prismatic bars encircling it. Great hards of range cattle, which roam at will and thrive on the nutritious grasses indigenous to the northern slope, wander aimlessly here and there, or more frequently drift with the wind in vain attempts to find food and shelter meaning in distress from cold and hunger; their noses hang with bloody icicles, their legs gallled and bleeding from breaking the hard snow crust as they travel—they appeal to the hardest heart for pity. It is sure death for human beings to be caught out in one of these awful blizzards, with the temperature down to 30 or 50 degrees below zero, unless rescue is speedy.

President Cleveland has shown an unusual courtesy to President-elect McKinley. During the past few weeks the retiring Executive has forwarded to the man who is to succeed him every state paper and every official document concerning the business of this administration, which might be of value to the next. The treaty with Great Britain was in Major McKinley's hands long before the newspapers got it, and a great mass of stuff about Cuba which has never reached the public has been forwarded to Mr. McKinley with Mr. Cleveland's compliments. In fact, the two have been in correspondence ever since election day, and it is proper to say that they are better friends now than any other two men have ever been under similar circumstances. Mr. Cleveland had a good deal of experience, both as a retiring and as an incoming President, and he has been in a position lately to give the Major a great many points. That he has not failed to take advantage of his opportunity is evidenced by the fact that the President-elect is right now in possession of more state secrets than even Secretary Olney will transmit to his successor when the day of the great change comes. The meeting between Mr. Cleveland and Major McKinley on the 4th of March will be one of more than ordinary significance, because the developments of the past few weeks have brought them closer together than the ordinary course of events would in as many years. Public men have just learned of Mr. Cleveland's action, and he is generally applauded for the common sense view he has taken of the situation. That he has given Major McKinley a great many valuable tips is not disputed even by his political enemies. The two men may be said to agree on the currency question, and Mr. Cleveland appreciates fully the difficulties which will confront Major McKinley when he assumes the rins of office. He has prepared a full history of his own administration experience in the matter of bond issues, both public and private, and has incorporated with it a review of the effects on business of the fluctuations of the gold reserve, which Mr. Cleveland firmly believes serves no more purpose as to trade than a monometer does as to weather. A man with confidence in the conditions which surround him can get along without either. Comptroller Eckels has also prepared a careful history of his administration, at Mr. Cleveland's request, for the guidance of his successor. One Trait of American Character.

Points out the Way to Relief from Various Ills. The Story of a Mother and Daughter. From the Chronicle, Chicago, Illinois. A story remarkable in many respects is told by Mrs. George Argile which contains much information which will be appreciated by thousands of women who are suffering as she did, and they will find relief from all their trouble, so easily, so quickly, and so permanently that they will wonder how the possibility came about. Mr. George Argile left his native home in Yorkshire, England, eight years ago to embrace the greater opportunities this country offered. He was fortunate in immediately securing a responsible position on his arrival in Chicago with the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad Company. Faithful to his duties he received recognition by promotions and to-day is in sole charge of the team tracks of this great railway system. The position is known in railroad circles as foreman of the teams that load and unload freight. After one year and a half in the employ of this road he sent for his wife and children, who arrived safely here and in good health. After some two years residence here Mrs. Argile commenced to feel badly. Like thousands of other women she had womb trouble of over twenty years standing. At first this trouble, in Chicago, was not sufficiently acute to interfere materially with her household duties, but in course of months it developed to such a degree that it proved exceedingly painful to her to attend to the many little duties required to keep a house neat and tidy. This condition continued to grow worse and worse till she was forced to recognize that if she did not get skillful medical aid, she would grow into a confirmed invalid. During this period a neighbor whom she had known for quite a while told her that she was using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People with excellent results, and she believed that they would rid her of all her troubles without the aid of any physician. Having confidence in her neighbor's words she commenced to take the pills some six months was growing nervous. Her condition during the following year after her sickness did not improve, in fact, I thought it was a little worse. The second year, I know it was; but probably being with her constantly did not fully realize that she was decidedly getting in a very bad way. "It was only in the forepart of last year that I became seriously alarmed, as her language, her constant tiredness increased and she became so nervous and so fretful that if any person spoke to her, it would make her ery. Her appetite got poorer with every month and I did really wonder how the little thing could live on what she ate. Her complexion became sallow and assumed a greenish hue, and she became what I called 'skin and bones'—very thin indeed. This was her condition some four months ago. It was at this time that I had taken a few of the pills, and commencing to get faith in them I made Emily take them. I say, immediately she felt better, perhaps that is not quite true, but certainly after the third week I could see an improved condition in her, and this improvement continued up to the second month, slowly but surely. Then the improvement of the child became marked, her appetite returned and grew better with every day, she commenced to fatten up, she became more cheerful and lively and her nervousness at times left her altogether. "In the last two weeks her complexion has regained the perfect color of health her cheeks are fleshy and plump and she is as lively as a cricket. Her appetite—well less said about that better, she is eating all the time, and all the time is hungry. When she now comes home from school, instead of listlessly crawling into the house to lie down rest, she is romping all over the house and cries 'Mother you don't know how good it feels to be full of life, how glad I am that I don't feel tired any more.' She has completely thrown off her nervousness, and all those symptoms which for three long years made me fear very much that she had not long to live." Conant Major McKinley when he assumes the rins of office. He has prepared a full story of his own administration experience in the matter of bond issues, both public and private, and has incorporated with it a review of the effects on business of the fluctuations of the gold reserve, which Mr. Cleveland firmly believes no more purpose as to trade than a monster does as to weather. A man with confidence in the conditions which surround him can get along without either. Comptroller Eckel has also prepared a careful history of his administration, at Mr. Cleveland's request, for the guidance of his successor. One Trait of American Character. There is one trait of our national character which foreigners can never comprehend, and that is our unshakable faith in our ability to "come out all right in the end." We stand idly and more or less indifferently by and allow a country to be pushed to the verge of a financial or political precipice under the impulse of some kind of popular craze or another, entirely confident that just before it slips over we can take hold of it and pull it back. We have done this again and again, and nothing seems to shake our faith in our ability to repeat the operation whenever occasion arises. It costs us enormously, not only in reputation, but also in money, and retards our growth and progress in a thousand ways, but nothing seems likely to cure us of the habit, unless it be a great national calamity due to our falling in some crisis to take alarm quickly enough.—Century.
