Ni:v Yoiti;, Dec. 'J7. Charlton T,
Lewis, president of the New York Prison
Association, who went to Cuba on behalf
ol the elate and oilier organizations in
the I'nited States, has ruudea sensation
nl report to the secretary of war in re
card to the penal institutions of the
island. He contends that this govern
ment is responsible, and Rays that
truthful description of the prisons
"would arouse universal indignation,
which would probably be misdirected."
Alter urging this government, througl
the war department, to stop tho "in
tolerable cruelty and injustice, which
now constitute a national disgrace,"
Mr. Lewis adde:
"Great priBons are overcrowded with
men and boys. Assassins, brigands,
pickpockets and young men charged with
ditorderly conduct, or merely suspected
of slight offenses, are herded together in
absolute idleness and unrestricted inter
course. With no change of clothing, no
blanket or seinblanca of bed, many
hundreds sleep on bare stonep, where
filth and vermin are kept down only by
coiiftant sprinkling with disinfectants.
"Jn Home prisons the only disinfectant
known is insect powder, and cases of
tuberculosis, some of them are far ad
vanced, infect the rooms and doubtless
eprend tho seeds of disease. Moral nnd
physical coutnglou are promoted on u
vast ecalo together. Moet of these
prisoners huvo been proved guilty of no
ollViife.
"In this hell upon earth they are held
indefinitely while the judgeB of first in
fituueo investigate the charges. Each of
tlieue judges has a secretary, who can
often securest dismissal, but the prisoner
without uioiiev or influence must wait."

A BAD ONE
Ten Days Have Past and Last Body
Has Just Heen Recovered.
Lxwibio.v, Idaho, Dec. 27. Although
ten days have passed since the tragic
Northern Pacific wreck in Kendnck can
yon, and the body of the fifth and last
dead trainman has been taken out, the
mass of railroad iron has not been
cleared away. It ie piled so high that it
has turned the channel of l'otlach creek.
Inquiry into the cause of the wreck,
just concluded, shows that the trainmen
were at fault. They had eighteen flat
cars loaded with steel rails for the Clear
water cut off and two locomotives. They
should have divided the train before
starting down the tremendous 2 per cent
grade in the canyon, as the tracks wero
slippery with a light enow. The heavy
oad pot beyond control, and although
thccouduc'or and one brakeman eaved
themselves by cutting off the caboose,
the train was wrecked, causing a loss of
100,000, and the loss of five lives.

SuMPTEii, Dec. 25. A week ago Th e
Oregonian gave the first report of a rich
strike four miles from Granite. Since
then fully two miles of tho ledge from
which the assay was made ha9 been
located. Mr. Murray, of Sumpter, has
made iourteen assays from ore dug out
by hiniEclf at as many different places
along the ledge, the lowest one showing
a value of $4.13, and the highest $29.
These assays are of surface croppings,
and, following the rule for this section,
would indicate an exceptionally rich and
extensive vein. The rock is of porphyry
'formation. The quartz is free milling,
gold being visible to the eye.
The stage road iuns just at the foot of
the mountain, not 200 feet frou the
original discovery, and the tunnel will
start just below and run under this road
Everyman, woman and child that has
ever gone from Sumpter to Granite has
passed this way, and seen the spot
where now staud the location stakes. All
have rjassed on, many to Ami good
property miles beyond ; othere have
failed. They call it luck. One man
passed there a month before this dis
covery was made, and in his ignorance
remarked to an old prospector in the
stage ttiat there might be gold in that
mountain. . Tlii prospector looked wise
and paid there was no ore there; the
rock was not the right formation.
