PRISONERS ARE HERDED Together Regardless of the Crimes They Are Accused of Committing Some Hardened Criminals Wh'le Others Are Petty Offenders.

New York, Dec. 27. Charleton T. Lewis, president of the New York Prison association, who went to Cuba on behalf of the state and other organizations in the United States, has made a sensational report to the secretary of war in regard to the penal institutions on the He contends that this government is responsible, and 'says that a truthful description of the prisons "would arouse universal indignation whioh would probably be misdirected." After urging this government, through the war department, to stop the "intolerable cruelty and injustice which now constitute a national disgrace," Mr. Lewis adds: "Great prisons are overcrowded with men and boys.

Assassins, brigands, pickpockets and young men charged with disorderly conduct, or merely suspected of slight offenses, are herded together in absolute Idleness and unrestricted intercourse. With no change of clothing, no blanket or semblance of bed, many hundreds sleep on bare stones, where filth and vermin are kept down only by constant sprinkling with disinfectants. "In some prisons the only disinfectant known is insect powder, and cises of tuberculosis, some of them far advanced, infect the rooms and doubtless spread the seeds of disease. Moral and physical infection are rromoted on a vast scale together. Most of these prisoners have been proved guilty of no offense.

"In this hell upon earth they are held indefinitely while the judges of first Instance investigate the charges. Each of these judges has a secretary, who can often secure a dismissal, but the prisoner without money or influence must wait." THE BONE JINGLE. Every one knows the helpful little rhyme beginning "Thirty days hath September," and the scholars who are "grinding away" at anatomy will perhaps find this one of some value: How many bones in the human face? Fourteen, when they're all in place. How many bones in the head 7 Eight, my child, as I've often said. How many bones in the nurnan ear? Four in each, and they heir to hear.

How many bones in the human spine? Twenty-four, like a climbing vino. How many bones in the lunnm chest? Twenty-four ribs, and two of the rest. How many bones in the bind? Two in each one before. )ne behind. How many bones in the human arm? In each arm one: two in each forearm.

How many bones in the human wrist? Eight in each, if none are missed. How many bones in the i.alm of the hand? Five in each, with many a band. How many bones in the fingers ten? Twenty-eight, and by joints they bend. How many bones in the human hip? One in each, like a dish they din. How many bones in the human thigh? One in each, and deep they lie.

How many bones in the human knee? Two in each, we can plainly see. How many bones in the ankle strong? Seven in each, but none are long. How many bones in the bail of the foot? Five in each, as the palms are put. How many bones In the toes half a score? Twenty-eight, and there are no more. And now altogether these bones may wait.

MANY INDIANS KILLED By the Walls of an Adobe Building: Falling: on Tnem All Business Blocks in San Jacinto Are Very Badly Damaged San Jacinto, Dec. 26. This little city Is the scene of desolation today. People are beginning to recover from the shock of earthquake which centered here on Christmas morning and destroyed every brick building in the town, and some estimates of the damage wrought can now be made. At the Saboba Indian reservation, near here, a dance had been held the night before and large quantities of whisky consumed by the Indians had sent most of them into a drunken slumber before the shock came.

A number of squaws had huddled together in an old adobe building and were sleeping off the effects of the liquor. The heavy walls fell in upon them. Six were killed outright and two died later, while a score more are badly injured. Those killed were horribly crushed. Main street presents a sad appearance.

It is impossible to walk along the sidewalks because of the heaps of debris and overhanging walls. Two-story brick walls may be seen razed to the level of the ground, with thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise buried underneath. There is not a business house in town but has suffered. Electric wires are down and one of the power houses has fallen in. The walls of the county hospital, erected recently at a cost of $10,000, are badly damaged.

The losses are estimated as follows: Hards Daggett, general merchandise, building-, Dallas building, Jones building, $500; Vaawater building. McReath, bricks, Daggett's building Spigous $500; Indian agency, McKin Chambers' drug stock, bank building, Domingoni building, M. A. Wright's drug store, S. Mead, I building and goods, R.

D. Mead, hardware, Durett's building, Freeman's store, Colonel Kitchen's, Baker's store $1,000. The minor losses amount to considerable. At Hemet the hotel was damaged to the extent of Bingham's flour mill, $2,000. The fire walls of "Webber's brick store fell out, the plate glass win- dow-s were smashed and the entire stock of goods is on the floor in a.hea.n.

The chimneys of the hotel fell, many of them crashing through the roof and fell upon the bed of Frank Robinson, bruising him badly. The verandas are all down and the walls badly cracked. The rear wall of the Johnson block fell outward and the whole building was badly demolished. The third story of the Hotel Mills is down and the second story walls fell in. Prugh's grocery store fixtures were all shaken down and he has his sroods piled on the floor.

The front of Parker's store fell over and the shelving was shaken down. There are but two chimneys left in town. The gables of the Holland asylum were cracked and the chimneys shaken down. It is said rumblings had been heard for several days about Tau-quitz peak, in the San Jacinto range, supposed to be an extinct volcano. Between San Jacinto and Hemet geysers of hot sulphur water appeared yesterday and the fumes are so strong that no one can get near them.

The streets of San Jacinto are being cleared of debris and merchants are moving their stock into warehouses and frame structures. Preparations are already being made for the rebuilding of not the most important. Mass Meeting Called. San Framlseo, Dec. 27.

Arrangements are being made for a mas3 meeting in tbiis city on Jan. 6 to express sympathy for the Boers.

The Chronicle says: Countess of Canavarro, a convert to Buddhism has either found her new faith unsatisfactory or at least: her ardor to devote herself to an ascetic life in the Orient has cooled.

The countess is the daughter Of tlhe late Major McElroy, who died in Merced about 17 years ago. Her mother was Spanish and she was born in Texas. She received her title through her husband, who is the representative of Portugal in the Hawaiian islands. Count A.
