Disgraced.

MEN EAGER FOR THE FRONT

The Seventy-first of New York, the
Second of Massachusetts and the

. Fourth of Pennsylvania. Start for
the South—Other Regiments Ex-
pect to Follow This Week.

Camp Black, L. 1., May 16.——To-day
the Sixty-fifth and Second Provisional
regiments become divisions of the Fed-
eral Army, and the Fourteenth, Third
and First Will follow on Tuesday. The
last three will be the Forty-seventh,
Twenty-second and Sixty-ninth. Col.
Grant has been disappointed by the
series of little hitches which have kept
the enlisting of the Fourteenth back,
while the Sixty-fifth and Second are in
an enthusiastic mood, because they
were prepared for the muster ahead of
their rivals. ‘

Capt. Schuyler says that there will be
no more marching away until Tues-
day, and possibly not until Wednesday.
The general order to hurry all along
the line will beacarried out vigorously,
and that is all that can be said now.

Four,Men Drummed Out.

Four members of the Sixty-fifth Reg-
iment of Buffalo were drummed out of
camp Saturday. 'They were new mem-
bers who had joined the organization
for the fun they could get out of it, and
who had decided that the fun would
end about the time the regiment start-
ed for the South. Two were in Com-
pany I, one was in A and one in G. The
I men were caught in the morning try-
ing to sneak out of the line. The
guards brought them back. The drum-
mers were summoned, and‘the two de-
serters were marched out of camp to
the tune of “The Rogue’s March,"
while the regiment stood around in
crowds and jeered. By a prearranged
plan the guards looked the other way
while five men broke the lines and fol-
lowed the deserters. Overtaking them
the five set upon the two from Com-
pany I and gave them a thrashing
they will not soon forget.

The experiences of the men from
Companies A and G were not more
pleasant. They were obliged to run the
gantlet while all kinds of missiles,
hard and soft, were hurled at them,
and “The Rogue’s March” was played
by the buglers and whistl'éd by the
privates. When the deserters reached
the railroad station they found _mem-
bers of their regiment, who followed
them on board the train, and escorted
them through the cars, introducing
them to the passengers as‘deserters.

A conspicuous case of “cold feet,” by
which term the soldiers designate in-
stances of unwillingness to stick it out
and go with the regiments wherever
they are wanted, was reported in the
Ninth Separate Company, of‘White-
hall.

New Jersey Men Are Anxious.

Camp Voorhees, Sea Girt, May' 16.—
An air of expectancy pervaded Camp
Voorhees to—day. At every moment’the
men looked for orders sending them to
the front. Since it became no'ised
about that instructions had been re-
ceived from the authorities at Wash-
ington intimating that the First Regi-
ment might be expected to move at
twenty—four hours’ notice, the volun-
teers have been anxious. The work of
mustering the men is now complete,
and several of the mustering officers
have, under orders, returned to their
posts. All that remains to be done be-
fore the men can take the field is to
complete their equipment. Supplies
from Washington are looked for, and
not more than two days wil be re-
quired to put the entire brigade in
fighting trim.

Senator Sewell Decline-.1

Washington, May iii—Senator Sewell,
of New Jersey, who was nominated to
be a 'Major General in the volunteer
army, has informed the Secretary of
War that he will decline the honor.
This action presumably is due to the
belief of the Senator that in accepting
a commission in the army he would be
compelled to resign his position in the
United States Senate. As Senator Sew-
ell was appointed from civil life, the

expectation is that the vacancy will be ,

filled in a similar way. The Senator
had also been assigned to the command
of the troops to be concentrated at
Washington, and his declination will
compel a new selection for that com-
mand.

The First Pennsylvania. Troops.

Mount Gretna, Pa., May 16.—The
first regiment to leave Camp Hastings
for Chickamaug‘a was the Fourth,
which got away between 2 and 3 o’clock
yesterday.

The other regiments are still under
canvas. Last night’s order was modi-
fied by the addition of another regi-
ment, the Tenth, so that the commands
which have received definite orders
from the War Department, are the
Fourth, Sixteenth, Third, First, Fifth,
Fifteenth, Tenth and Ninth.

Massachusets Troops to Chicku:
mango.

Boston, May 16.—Gov. Wolcott has
received a telegram from Adjutant
General Corbin stating that Col. Pew,
commanding the Eighth Regiment, M.
V. M., has been ordered by telegraph
to proced to Chickamauga at o'nce with
his regiment. '

 

Mr. Moody nndl the Soldiers.

East Northfield, Mass, May 16.—
Dwight L. Moody, the evangelist, is
busy planning for religious work
among the soldiers. He is of the opin-
lon that the war will not continue long.
"If it does continue,” he says, “there
will be a great demand for Christian
workers.” Then he added, “I plan to
stay here in Northfield, if possible, dun-
lng the Summer, but if necessity de—
mands I shall go to work among the
soldiers.”

Continuing, Mr. Moody said: “I can’t
help pitying Spain. She has been forced
into this war by her rulers. She is
sure to be beaten. It is like a big mas-
tiff licking a. little cur. The cur may
deserve whipping, but you can’t help
pitying the little dog, while the whip-
ping is taking place._”, , , -

 

 

' \
. 'EXPEDITlON PAILEDTOLAND.

The Gussie Had Arms‘rsnd Ammuni.
' ‘tion for the Cubans.

Key West, Fla, May I‘d—The steam—
er Gussie, which left Tampa, Fla... on
May 10, with two companies of the
First Infantry, in charge of 7,000 rifles
and 200,000 rounds of ammunition, in-
tended for the insurgents in the Prov-
ince of Pen'ar del Rio, remained off the
coast of Cuba. Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, conveyed .by "the auxiliary
gunboat Manning, in a vain attempt to
land her cargo. ‘

Capt. J. H. Dorst, office staff of Gen.
Miles, and formerly United States Mili-
tary Attache at V'ienna,‘headed the ex-
pedition, which returned here Sunday
morning. Her commander, who ap-
peared to be much crestfallen, having
failed to accomplish. the mission in-
trusted‘to him, refused to discuss the
matter beyond admitting the failure,
and saying the Gussie will return to
Tampa, Fla.

Previous to leaving Cuban waters,
the Dorst expeditionary force had a
skirmish with Spanish cavalry near
Cabanas, fifteen miles west of Havana,
where an attempt ..was made to land
part of the cargo. On Friday morning
Capt. Dorst abandoned the attempt at
that point, and steamed eastward to
Matanzas, where an arrangement had
been made with the insurgents to send
supplies ashore at Point Maya, 8. mile
or so east of the entrance to the har-
bor.

The Gussie and her convoy Saturday
morning steamed in until about two
miles off shore, when the rattle of mus-
ketry from a considerable force of
Spanish soldiers concealed behind un-
derbrus-h ashore warned them that
they would receive a lively welcome if
they landed. The Spanish troops
seemed to have been furnished with in-
formation of the contemplated landing
at both points.

After the 'second‘ failure Capt. Dorst
decided to abandon the attempt to land
the arms and ammunition and returned
to Key West, where‘, as already cabled,
he arrived this morning. .

He did not return empty handed,
however. Off Matanzas, the Gussie
sighted a small Spanish fishing smack
and gave chase. When the boat was
overhauled, her occupants 'surrendered
to Capt. Dorst, and the prize was
brought into Key West. ' "

Capt. Dorst says the failure of the
expedition was due to the fact that the
Cubans. were unable to meet {the land-
ing party at: the rendezvous, and the
Americans could not land supplies with
no one to receive“ them.

Capt. Dorst is convinced that the
Spaniards have a good system of com—
munication along'the coast, and that
they can quickly mass enough troops
to prevenl the landing of a smallfiforce,
such as the one he commanded, ahidrthe
Captain believes the‘only way arms
and ammunition can be sent'to the in—
surgents is to land them .under the
cover of warships with guns sufficient
to beat off any attack. Then, he adds,
the arms and ammunition, should be

convoyed inland by United States sol-.

diers.

. The Seventy-first nnd’Massnchusctts

Men Go By Rail.

New York, May 16.—The Seventy-first
Regiment of the New York} Volunteers
arrived at Jersey City Saturday in the
steamers City of'Washington’and Sen-
aca, on which the men had spent the
night. The troops marched ashore, hop-
ing soon to be on their way‘to Tampa.
In this they were disappointed, owing
to the fact that Col. Greene decided to
take five days’ rations. These did not
arrive until a late hour, and this en-
abled the Second Massachusetts Regi-
ment, which did not arrive until 7
o’clock on the Vigilanca, to get ahead
of, them. The New England men took
only train rations; and carried them in
their haversacks, so that they were
ready to start at the moment they
landed.

The men were marched into the rail-
road yards, and the guards at first at-
tempted to keep the crowd back, but
after awhile their vigilance was re-
laxed, and great numbers crowded into
the yard and mingled with the soldiers.
After nightfall, the crowd, weary of
the delay, dwindled, and the tired sol-
diers sought refuge in their cars and
went to sleep.

The regiments will go direct to Tam-
pa, it is understood, and it is expected
that the trains will have precedence
over all-others along the whole route.

The train carrying the Massachusetts
troops was in three sections, each con—
sisting of fourteen ordinary passenger
cars and a Pullman car for the offi-
cers. The train carrying the Seventy-
first Regiment was in three sections,
and a fourth section, made up of bag-
gage cars. _

The Massachusetts men’s trains.
moved at 10 p. m., and the Seventy-
first started at 11.35.

Rushing Supplies to the‘ Troops.

-Philadelphia, May 16.—-—Great activity
continues at the Schuylkill Arsenal.
About three trainloads of supplies start
nightly for Chickamauga,'Mobile and
other points. In the neighborhood of
five thousand tents are being turned
out daily, and thisactivity will con-
tinue for weeks to come. Orders for
50,000 pairs of shoes have been placed,
which are ready for delivery within
three days. Fifteen thousand pairs of
trousers, 20,000 shirts and 5,000 over-

' coats are being completed weekly, and

this will continue until orders are re-
ceived to the contrary. Up to date
about sixty thousand blankets have

been shipped from the Arsenal.

BLACKMAYLED THE GOULDS.

'Instigated the Story of Jay Gould’s

Marriage.

Albany, N. Y., May 16.—Mrs. Marga-
ret E. Cody, the aged woman arrested
in New York by Central Office- detec-
tives on a bench warrant charging that
she had attempted to blackmail George
J. Gould and Miss Helen Gould, in in-
stigating the story that Jay Gould had
heirs by a previous marriage with a
woman at RouSe’s Point, is now in jail

in this city. She will remain there un- '

til her trial is called.

Remenyi Drops Dead.

San Francisco, May 16.——-Edouard
Remenyi, who has held royalty en-

all over the world with his violin, fell
dead last evening at the Orp'heum ’The-
atre, in this city. It was Remenyi’s

mveiv'rw's WOMEN,

80-0 (foetal and Unique' Devices Discov-
' ered by the Fair Sex.

It is not generally supposed that

the world may be. credited to women.
The.Chin«ese Empress Tao, for exam-
ple, worked out useful ideas in her
busy brain. She invented the spinning
of silk, never dreaming of the immense
industry that would grow from her cre-
ation. Aluxurious woman of Asia dis-
covered‘the attar of roses, and this
-same woman, Mhearai Misi, invented
the ingenious handicraft, the cashmere
shawl. History is silent as to her end.
The women who are kept from want
by the making of pillow lace have rea-
son to bless the name of Barbara Utt-
man, of Saxony. Wood engraving was
discovered ,by the Cunio sisters, two
Italian women, and it was the widow
of General Nathaniel Greene, who
made the Suggestion of the cotton gin,
which was perfected by Eli Whitney.
The grandmother of Clara Louise Kel-
logg invented an attachment to the ma-
chinery in looms in mills, and another
woman’s genius worked out a device
for deadening the noise of railway
trains. ~A Miss Knight invented the pa-
per bag, and at once people wondered
why so simple a. contrivance had never
been thought of before. .
Mme. De Long invented metal-cut-
ting machinery, which has been used
_in France for some time. This ma-
chinery is worked by steam, and from
the solid metal cuts out gates and
other architectural work without cast-
ing. Mme. De Long has cut plates of
brass a foot thick into lattice work at
a single operation. She has also made
picture frames, crests and lace pins,

finished, every operation being per-
formed by the steam-driven machine-
ry. She first conceived the idea. of her
remarkable apparatus over 20 years
since, when a. paralysis of her right arm
compelled her- to give up her trade of
jewel worker. She has received many
medals from various Paris expositions.
The first laureate crown ever offered to
a woman has been bestowed upon
Mme. De Long by the Society..of
French Architects in Paris. Mrs. Bar-

secret of treating ore before roasting
it so that as much gold as brown stone
‘could be obtained from it. Mrs. Par-

trained to be practical miners. It is

SENDS CUBA THE SINEWS OF WAR.

Palma Lost His Estate by Rebellion and
is now Head of the Junta. '

Thomas EStrada Palma, the head of
gthe Cuban Junta in Americaa, has
'_ been a conspicuous figure in the af-
,f_airs of Cuba «since the last rebllion
'began. He ,was proclaimed president
of the revolutiozzmry party when the
flame broke out :three years ago. In
‘1877 Palma was chosen as president of
the Cuban republic. .He fought valui-
antly in :the ten years ’war, and a. the
restoration of peace was offered par-
don and a. restoration of his fine Cuban
estates if he would swear allegiance to

States. He established in Orange
Cotmty, New York, ‘an institute for
the teaching of languages and to this
school hundreds «of the children of
wealthy Cubans were sent for their
education. Senor Palma. was born in
Cuba, but he is a. descendant of one of
those ancient families of Castile, cele-
brate-d in thesong‘s of the country. His
father was a rich planter, at whose
death Estrada was studying law in
Seville. On his return to Cuba young
Palma determined that he would do
all in his power to strike the shackles
from the Pearl of the Antilles, and he
has kept his promise.

 

Hawthorne and dlAubeplneI‘

As a nom de plume for a great deal
of his works Hawthorne assumed the
French translation of his name. His
stories in the Democratic Review of
:his time are attributed to M. d’Aube-
pine. Lowell says of him in his Con-
20rd address: “You would think me ex-
:ravagant, I fear, if Isaid how highly
i rate the genius of Hawthorne in the
history of literature. At any rate,
Hawthorne taught us one great, and
needful lesson, and that is that our
'own past was an ample storehouse for
the brightest works of imgination and
faucy.”—-Edward Everett Hale in Out--
