CARTAGOS DISASTERS
Glimpoes of Costa Rican City Just
Dovastate by an Earthquake
Cartago the Costa Rican city of
which a large part was recently de
stroyed by powerful earthquako
shocks with great loss of life is one
of the oldest towns In Costa Rica Un
til 1823 it was the capital of the re
public It lies about twelve miles to
the southeast of the present capital
San Jose
It Is built upon the Cartago river
dangerously near the base of the vol
canic mountain called Irazu which is
probably the cause of the present
j nster Irazu is a more or less active
J volcano and the town of Cartago lias
been evacuated more than once In its
checkered history on account of the
sruptious of its restless neighbor in
the year 1841 Cartago was complete
ly wiped out by a violent earthquake
In sympathy with Inrus eruptions
j A number of people were killed
The city was partly or In greater
part destroyed also in 1723 1803 1823
1S51 and 1854 On April 13 last a se
ries of earthquakes varying In in
tensity swept over Costa Rica doing
considerable material damage but
practically without loss of life Sau
Jose suffered most severely while both
Cartago and Port Limon felt the force
of the disturbances
The town or city as It bas always
been called is a very picturesque
old place Like Its younger but more
beautiful and wealthy sister San Jose
it is situated on a tableland about 5OU0
feet above sea level It is joined with
Costa Ricas greatest port Port Limon
by a railway which passing through
Cartago goes to San Jose and right
across to the Pacific port of Punta
Arenas Cartago had some very fine
old buildings including the municipal
palace the cuartel and the College of
San Luis which was at one time con
sidered the finest building in the re
public There are also the College del
Carazon de Jesus aud the very ancient
Church of the Angels Besides this
ehurch there are about a dozen others
of various denominations at least six
of which are built of stone
Cartagos streets suggested ancient
Spain aud on a busy day they present
ed a motley of race aud color Ne
groes Hindoos Indians Chinese and
Americans mingled in the straight
paved streets and in the plazas Beg
gars were like files They sold native
fruits and Indian curios an amazing
number of the latter including little
gold images that had been unearthed
from time to time in the Indian tombs
in the vicinity
The Cartago collections of Indian
relics are about the largest and finest
known
Mention has been made of the
Church of the Angels Los Angeles
It is not improbable that this old
church has withstood the earthquake
as it survived many another There
is a strange story attached to Los
Angeles
In the middle of the seventeenth
century in the latter part of which
the church was founded an Indian
woman going to a spring for water
found a little golden image on a rock
where the church now stands She
took it home aud placed it in a safe
place Next day upon going for water
she discovered a similar image on the
name rock Taking it home aud being
about to place it with the first she
discovered that the first had vanished
This happened several times in each
rase the image vanishing from the
niche and appearing on the rock She
reported the matter to a priest Un
der the belief that this was a divine
sign the Church of the Angels was
founded upon that rock

An Incident of the Late War Be
tween the States
By J H ROCKWELL
Copyright 1910 by American P cos Asso
ciation
the latter pan of 1SG2 when
JN General Grant was preparing to
make a movement by land to
reach the rear of VIcksburg In
accordance with the plans ho had made
for the capture of that city he saw
that he did not have a sullicient num
ber of iiU to command success and
that it was imperative that he should
have 800U or 10000 more His plans
had been sent to Washington and ap
proved but to his request for men tin
answer came that he must go ahead
with the force ulreadj under his com
maud In response to this Grant in
formed the president that he could not
do it that the attempt would end in
failure and that the expedition would
better be abandoned than attempted
without re enforcements Determined
that the war de
partment should
fully understand
the situation he
ordered a former
member of his
staff General M
D Leggett ot
Ohio then com
manding one of
his brigades to
proceed to Wash
ington and la
the whole mnttei
before Mr Lin
coin and the sec
retary of war
General Leggett
had a personal ac
quaintance with
Secretary Stanton
there was little hope it
changing his mind when once made
up and accordingly decided to gain ac
cess to the president before the secre
tary of war should forestall him 1
the presentation of the war depart
ment side of the case lie therefoie
called upon the secretary at S oclock
in the morning of the day after his
arrival and said to him Mr Stanton
I wish you would take me to Mr Lin
coln introduce me to him and let me
do the talking I dont want you to
ruin my case with objections
All right was the response and
the call was made General Leggett
was permitted to present General
Grants idea as fully and clearly as
possible while Mr Lincoln listened
When he had concluded the presi
dent took him in hand and gave hini
the most severe and critical cross ex
amination he had ever undergone as to
the situation in the west Grants pur
poses etc Mr Stanton added several
questions of his own and when he had
ended the president quietly remarked
Well he must have the troops
But where will you get them ask
ed the secretary
Turning to General Leggett the pres
ident said EIow many men must he
have
Sixteen thousand General Leggett
responded
Turning to the the presi
dent asked a series of questions as to
the disposition of certain forces not
then in the field how many were at
Cleveland how many at Detroit how
many here and how many there
until he had gone over the available
force in the west and had demonstrat
ed that 12000 or 10000 troops could be
sent to Grant
Then Mr Lincoln asked General Leg
gett when he intended to leave Wash
ington
At 5 p m the general answered
Well I want you until then said
Mr Lincoln
A carriage was ordered and the two
entered it and were driven to the Sol
diers home where the president was
then living Of all the questioning
and close examinations General Leg
gett had ever experienced those of that
day were the most severe
It must be borne in mind that the
Grant who was then planning so great
and important a
move as the re
duction of Vicks
burg was not the
Grant of Appo
mattox but only
of Donelson
and Ilenry and
known then to
neither Mr Lin
coln nor fame as
in the later days
But the president
was determined
to learn all he
could from tne
w i t u e s s then
present and as
General Leggett
was loyal in heart
as well as in
mm ill

speech to his chief and had alrj
had a dawning realization of the great
figure Grant was to play in the civil
war his responses were clear and to
the point and visibly impressed Mr
Lincoln as being as true as they were
complimentary
General Leggett returned to the
west and when the Union troops
marched into Vicksburg he had the
honor although suffering from severe
wounds to ride into that city at the
head of the First brigade which was
granted the privilege 6f being the first
to enter receive the surrender and
raise the Union flag

NEW MORTAR PROJECTILE
One to Carry 17000 Yards Planned
For Panama Canal
The United States government is at
work on a new mortar of greater carry
ing power and will install it at Pana
ma when the canal is completed The
term bomb has become almost obsolete
in the vernacular of the military serv
ice and yet that term best conveys
to the lay mind the idea of the projec
tile fired from the mortar battery
These projectiles always fired into the
air at an angle of forty five degrees or
more fired in salvos that Is four guns
fired simultaneously and designed to
drop from a fearful altitude with a ve
locity little less than that with which
they left the muzzle of the mortar
are designed especially to pierce the
comparatively light armor of the decks
of warships and if possible to pene
trate to the vitals of the ship before
they explode
The present style of mortar projectile
weighs 1000 pounds and has an effec
tive range of 10000 yards but it is pro
posed soon to substitute a lighter pro
jectile one weighing about 700 pounds
but which will have an effective range
of 17000 yards
Biggest of All Battleships
At England the
keel was laid the other day of the
British battleship Princess Royal the
largest warship of any navy in the
world She will be of 2G000 tons dis
placement and 700 feet long
