The jutin of good roads and

DAY'S SPANISH SPOOK ROUTED.
Major 0. S. Day Now In Possession
of a Haunted Castle.
Tho following eamo from San
J nan, 1'ot fo liieo, hu"t week :
Mdjor (). S. Day of tho Fifth
United States Artillery has taken
possession of tho haunted Sin de-
ronimo csstlo. He tins heard the
Spanish ghost, and, to tho utter
astonishment of negro residents,
driven linn from the musty old walls
liiit thoppook did not retreat meekly.
He made three visits to tho Major,
driving a span of horses across the
sfono bndgo and into the yard on
blight moonlight nights, and con
vinced him at least, of tho truthful
ness of ono Spanish ght story.
!an (teroiiiino, a bttlo one ftory
stone enstle, is situated on a pictures
que headland ( t tho north coast at
tho eastern end of San .1 nun Islands.
As early us tho year IT'.1'.' the Span
iards saw tho beauty of the spot ami
built tho first rude walls, a summer
home for thoCnptuin (ieneral. Year
after year, as customary with sll
their forts and cisth s, they strength
ened tho place until last October,
when they departed, they left the
kitchen, living apartment and dun
geon protectt d from the seacard by
asolid masonry wall. Half a centur
ago, in the flourishing days of Span
ish rule, San (ieronimo saw gome
i illianf society, lint for more than
thirty years past, according to tra
dition, tho wall have sheltcicd and
protected, except occasionally, only
a solitary ghost. The nearest neigh-
iors, the negroes in the slab hut on
the m litary road, P'iy the spectre
was the returned spirit of a political
prisoner tortured to desth in the
dungeon cell. Their story v as
providtrnoa few years ago, they
thought, by the mysterious death of
a temporary keeper. Yet, not with
standing the prt soncooffiich a ghost.
when war came with the I mted
Slntes Ihe Spanish artillerymen
laced six big guns in position on
top of the etstle walls in order to
help sink Yankee men-of-war. Two
unmounted gun carnages were
found by our troops on October
is:ts.
n a tour of inspection of the old
Spanish forts and breastworks in
San Juan hist October, Major I My
noticed the j iiot 11 rcnj no site of San
eronimo and wondered whv so
pretty a little castle should have
been deserted. He found the walls
although a century old, in good con
dition, one solid piece of masonry.
On further examination he taw lliat,
by the help of a tew workmen, the
damp, musty interior could be made
into one of the most beautiful dwell
ings on tho island. Accordingly
the Mjor, not having heard of the
ghost, decidtd, if possible, to get
permission from (ten. John 11.
J!rooke,thon in command, to occupy
and repair the castle. J.ut at first
the Major met with a liltle delay,
for the General, having heard the
ghost story, naturally did not want
to have I j is efficient artillery oflicer
encounter, unnecessarily, a danger
ous spook.
"VVe can hardly spare you from
here just now,"' said (ieneral
I'rooke, apparently in earnest.
lint tho Major persisted.
"Nor can we afford to lose yon,"
continued tho (ieneral, with a
twinkle in his eye, remembering the
death of tho Spanish kccer, yd
gay ing not a word about a ghost.
Major Day, nevertheless, after an
other appeal, got permission to occu
py the old Spanish castle. For his
deeping appartment he chose a
room in the temporary second story
wooden shed which overlooked the
backyard, the stone bridge and the
shore toward the capital. His bed
stood directly above the dungeon
and torture cell on the ground floor.
Hut as tho Major then knew noth
in'ofany ghost, he of course, did
not feel superstitious. He had
selected the second story room
merely in order to keep an eye on
the stone bridge angf way.
Major Day spent his first night
in the castle without even an orderly.
In tho early evening he sat on the
stone breastwork enjoying the cool
sea brcczo and then went to his
room, tired enough to build castles
in dreamland. Hardly ha. J he closed
his eyelids in sleep before he heard
a span of horses on the bridge. IJe
muttered something about a lunny
time for visitors and got up to meet
his ca'lers. JJut when hu looked
out of the window lie could see
neither horses nor visitors. Such
an occurrence naturally puz.lcd him,
for, although his cars, carefully
trained to hear the faintest noise of
tho enemy, on the ono hand, had
told him of the approach of a team,
yet, on the other, his eyes, which
sighted 12 inch rifles precisely on
the masts of battleships miles away,
could dettet no sign of horse or
man. Therefore the artillery officer
wondered if Jie was awake. lie
pinched an arm, and, feeling the
test, once more retired lor Ihe night.
In the morning he decided to keep
his experience a secret, but, if the
opportunity ever came again, to be
more on the alert the nex' time for
his mystt rioiis visitor.
On the second night in San (ie
roniiuo enstle Maj r Day, therefore,
did not fall t!eep at the Usual hour,
but lying on hi cot wide awake,
listened intently for any unusul
Boisj, I h-fore half an fmur had
pasMd, nearly at Ihe ams hour
on tho pre ions right, ho defected
the faint rattle of a leatn on the
1. ay. Six.n be recognized the
faimiiar clatter of a span of horte
m the hrid,. He fdainlf beard
thoir h"of s'rike tho sfono pave
ment. Faster and f:ister eamo the
team, seemingly with whirlwind
speed, across tho bridge and into the
yard. Sine of his visitors, tho Ma
j r could wait no longer, but, spring
ing from his bed, threw open the
blinds, and, peering into tho yard.
shouted in Spanish, ".Hello !" Hut
he got no reply. Nor could he see
horso or man. His phantom team
hail disappeared as suddenly and
mysteriously sh if they had driven
right through tho solid Castlo walls
into tho dungeon. He made a closer
inspection of tho yard. Yet in the
bright moonlight, strong enough io
mitko newspiper print readable, he
could not find even astrangesliadow.
And the instant ho threw open the
blinds, moreover, the Major heard
only tho lino of breakers far along
the soacost to San Cristobal fort.
( )n the third and last night, w hen
the ppan of horses seemed to coin"
aerofsthe ramie bridge, Major Dav
sprang to the window and threw
pen tho blinds still ouicker than
tho night be I ore. He went so fast,
in fact, that he forgot to speak in
Spanish. I Stiff his team had already
vanished.
Tho horses eamo across the
bridgo only three nights," said M-
j or D.iy in relating the story of his
xperieiiee in tho haunted castlo to
the Sun correspondent. '0.i the
fourth dav, w hen my native laborers
an'd earpefiteis begin their work,
tho old ghost did not appear. Nor
has he troubled me since. Hut 1
ceitainly heard a span of horses come
across the bridge on tho first time
nights. Yon eui easily tell the
clatter of hoofs on the pavement,
especially those of the native hoists
"My native workmen, by mistake,
spoiled one of the best relics I found
in San (ieronimo, an old Sj anish
dungeon. Hidden from every ray
of sunlight, the cell hImi had a col
lection of instruments of torture. I
told the natives to whitewash the
walls and make a skylight, but a
few days later I found they hud
cleaned out every iron hook and ring
and chain. These things, of course,
would have been quite a little on
riosity to Americans.
"Another interesting thing I
found was a mysterious hole bored
in the Solid wall. On the floor of
the fame room were a big drill and
a pile of fresh sand and stent!, which
showed that the hole had been made
only a few days previous to tho tl ty
the Americans took pofsession of
ihe island. Nothing was in the
cavity, which extended fuliy fittetn
feet toward the front hreastwotks.
Hut 1 am inclined to think the woik
was int. rrupted. No, I did not find
any powder. Now, I would riot say
the Spaniards intended to blow up
the wall with a time fuse, but I
certainly think the hole looked
suspicious."
jS'ow, ae the ghost has gone, Ma
jor Day is completely satisfied with
his little corner of paradise. For
comfort he has built what his frie'ids
call a tin roofid Yankee ham on
toj) ol the castle. I Siat in his wooden
cottage he hopes to avoid the damp
ness of the walied rooms on the
ground floor. On the sea beach,
not fifty feet distant, he has a trop
ical luxury, a bathtub, eight feet
deep, cut out of solid roek. Twice
a day the tido fills this costly Span
ish howl. Then, in a natural aijiitr
ium, guaided by picturesque rocks
nndcr theshadow oftheetsdo walls,
the Maj r can study the habits and
peculiarities of such specimens as
tho salt water tront, sea bliss, rain
bow fish, little sharks, swordfi.dt
and the black, poisonous, long
quilled porcupines. If, on theother
hand, ho p'etirs a little sport, he
can drop a line into the deep pool
on the other side of the yard and
either play with bigger fish or catch
them for a shore dinner. Nor need
he buy fruits, for oranges, bananas
and cocoaiiu'g grow in abundance
in ihe lot on shore And il theo'd
Spanish ghost should happen lo
drive tho phantom team across the
stone bridge again som'j moonlight
night the Major now could summon,
by telephone, a battery from San
Cristobal or Morro Castle.

The Separate Car Law.
The white people are almost a
ut.it in favor of tho passage of the
bill requiring that tho railroads in
this State furnish separate coaches
for the races ; this has long laen
known ; but it is interesting to find
that there are numbers of colored
men w ho take tho same view, and
agreo that it will bo better for the
races to bo separated in rai.wsy
traveling. The Maxton Hlade, an
inliuential negro newspaper, says
tho colored people have "long since
become accustomed to separate
waiting rooms at railroad stations
and thcv will take tho separate ears
just as they did to the separate wait
ing rooms. Asa matter of fact such
law would not have a tendency to.
humiliate the colored people in the
least. No St If respecting colored
person will attempt fo force himself
in places whero he knows he is not
wanted. All that he wants is that
when ho pays first class fare he be
triveu first -class accommodations.
Ie wants that which he pays for and
nothing more, and if his presence in
first class cars among white people
is objectionable, then by all means
provide equal accommodations for
um in a separate car.
ihe separate car is no more a dis
rimination than separate waiting
rooms, fepaiate hotels, separate
hiirches and separate schools. And
it is in the interest of peace and good
eelifig that the races should be kept
separate. Charlotte News.

Bad Conduct of Soldiers in Havana
There wore three cases in Havana
last week of tho abuse of citizens on
the part ol American solJiers. Unon
two occasions soldiers took eatables
from street venders, refnsed fo pay
for them and struck the venders and
citizens who took their part. Upon
one occasion two druukeu soldiers
upon penetrating into private hous
es, insulted the women of the house-
j holds and only desisted upon the ap
proaeh of a patrol. The local com
ment upon these incidents is severe.
To be entirely relieved of the
aches ind pains of rheumatism
means a great deal, and Hood's Sar
saparilla does it.
Picginning this week there will
lie live mailsa week between Tampa
and Havana instead of two a week
as at present.
