M'Ihatj‘BefeIl/a Veteran of
the Civi War Long Af- .
ter His Discharge.

An old colonial soldier lying in a
hospital improvised for the occasion af-
ter the battle of Saratoga, was patient-
ly waiting until his time came for ex-
amination.
rounded his humble pallet to probe for
a bullet in his chest, he opened his
shirt bosom, shut his eyes and said,
“I’m ready.” Neither groan, sigh or
cry escaped him, but as the probe
reached the piece of lead he opened his
eyes and said: “Doctor, an inch deep-
er and you will find General Wash-
ington. ” In the Revolution and Civil
War the American soldier withstood
hardships that almost equalled those
when Napoleon retreated from Moscow,
and Sir John Moore retired to Corruna.
Disease left its mark and shattered

DOG RIDES A BICYCLE.

 

Master 'and Mistress Always‘ 'l‘ako Hill
Wlth Thom on 3 Spin,

It is not uncommon to see silken—
haired poodle dogs carried around the
streets by richll attired women or to
see them enjoying the luxury of a. cush-
ioned seat in a. handsome victoria.
isn’t every day, however,
sees a. big. ugly-faced bulldog ,enjoy-'

There is a bulldog in Chicago, though,
whose master and mistress have so
high a. regard for his comfort and
pleasure as to carry him along when-
ever they go wheeling. To do so they
have to resort to a. somewhat extra-
ordinary contrivance. They fasten
their bicycles together with that
double-cross iron brace devised to e111
able timid old folks to ride abreast
without fear of tipping over, and
where the braces cross between the
wheels they lace a. cushioned box big
enough to hold his dogness.’ As the
two pedal along the street the dog
rides between them, complacent and
self-satisfied and with a fierce, get-out-
of-the-way expression for anybody
who happens to bar their progress.—

A TOWN OF REAL anmc FREAKS

Chesterfield, Indiana, the Banner Place
. [or Curiosities.

The Stork who presides over the
State of Indiana has decided to make
things easy for the managers of muse-
ums and freak shows. H-e nOw
"‘bunches" all the abnormal children
and places them in the'small town of
Chesterfield. The annual crop of freaks
is taken as a matter of course by the
300 inhabitants of the little town, most
of whom belong to the collection. The
tallest man in the world registers
from Chesterfield.

The largest and fattest four-year-
old baby in the State is of this odd
township. He weighs 116 pounds and
is gaining rapidly. His nearest neigh-
bor is a tiny specimen of humanity
who weighs 50 pounds and is 17 years
old.

Opposite live two children, twins,
who are utterly devoid of sense, even

- animal instinct is lacking. They nev-

er move unless impelled, and never
crave food. A mother there has spent
fifty-two years in bed, and during this
time has given birth to and raised
eleven children. She is Well content-
ed, even happy.

Not the least of the freaks is one who
claims tohave discovered perpetual

The Arrival of Panda’s Troops and :1
Severe Tropical Storm Cause Shatter

-to Postpone the Attack—The Cuban!

Not.to Bo Depbodenl (on Hereafter—
_ Plans of General Miles—Cabinet Meet-
ing Held, ~ ~- ..,

Vi’ashington, July 6.—-The bombard-
ment of Santiago has been postponed.
The cabinet decided to allow General
Shaffer to use' his discretion in regard
to the matter. General Alger said af-
ter the cabinet meeting:

“General Shatter and Admiral Samp-
son vhavc been advised to hold a. con-
ference before any movement is made."

A dispatch from General Shaffer an-
nounced that a sevens tropical storm
wasraging alt Santiago. He said it
might be twenty-four or forty-eight
hours before the storm subsided and
and this
was the principal reason why a. post-
ponement of the bombardment was
decided on.

Secretary Alger cabled to General
Shaffer to use the reinforcements that
have arrived -to' fill the places of the
men killed and sick, and that reinforce-
ments equal to Panel-3's regiments were
on the way. This message also stated
that the president had directed Admi-
ral Sampson and General Shafte'r to co-
operalte and bombard at their discre-
tion.

There is aigreat deal of feeling at the
war department in regard .to the action
of the Cubans and their seeming fail-
ure to prevent General Band'o with his
reinforcements from entering Santiago.
Iii: is the general opinion among the
officers that the Cuban-s hereafter must,
be left out of all calculations. The re-
ports at the vast department received
during the last few days show that
they cannot be depended upon to take
orders and fulfill chem.

There Was a. continual telegraphic
correspondence between the war de-
partment and the headquarters at

Santiago all the morning, and the prin-

cipal subject .gforg the cabinet meet-
ing yesterday .he situation of our
army at Santiago. Admiral Sampson’ s
fleet has not emered the harbor of San—
tiago because the trucewas not up un--
til noon yesterday, and he is evidently.
awaiting instructions fro‘m Washington
before making the attempt. Th ere was
a. great deal of anxiety felt at the de-
partment; yesterday in regard to the
army, but General Shatter's dispatches
were reassuring and stated that he was
able lto maintain his position.

There was .alsdmuch uncertainty in
regard Ito General Miles’s movements.
It was stated that he would leave for
Santiago on the St. Paul from. New
York to-day. wl'thf t-he' Eighth Ohio.

After the cabinet meeting. however. a. ’

cabinet officer stated that General Miles

would not go to Santiago, at least not.
at present, andzithat General Shaffer "
would be allowed to continue the cam-.
paign there alone.

General Miles was
at the war department and refused to
be interviewed."

Another question d-iscusSe‘d at the
cabinetmeeting yestepday was the dis-
position of the prisoners taken by‘Ad-
miral Sampson and his fleet. It was
decided that while the minor officers
and seamen from the Spanish fleet
should be sent to the ,United States to
be confined in military prisons, Ad-
miral Carvers. and his staff will be
kept on board one- of the vessels in the
vicinity of San-tiagonntil the fate of

Lieutenant Hobson and his crew is de- '

ci-ded. Of course, there is, no intention

of exchanging the admiral for Hob's'on, ,

but the? cabinet as well as the officials
were of the opinion thalt "if Admiral

It Cervera. was kept in the vicinity of
that one Santiago, it might have a moral effect

”upon the treatment of Lieutenant Hob-
on and his crew by the Spaniards.

Admiral Cervera. will be treated with
the greatest courtesy and consideration
due an officer of his rank. and. in fact
the administration has decided that
all prisoners of war shall be cared for
in the best way possible. As this is a
war for the sake of humanity. the
president is determined that humane
treatment shall be accorded everyone.
so far was possible. Although the 1,600
prisoners under Admiral Sampson are
naval prisoner's, they will 'be turned
over to the war department for con-
finement. It is now supposed that they
will be sent to Atlanta. and cared for
at Fort McPherson. It. was proposed,
to build a stockade at lt-h-at place, and
this plan may now be carried out.

Congress to Adjourn After Hawaiian Vote.

VVlashington, July 6.—The statement
is made with positiveness now that
Congress will adic 1m within three
days aftrr the passag e by the Senate
of the Hawaiian annexation resolu-
tion.

There is no important business left.
for Congress to transact. Only the big
general deficiency bill remains, but the
confrerees are almost agreed on it and
it will soon be disposed of.

Good reasons exist for an adjourn-
ment. There has been abundant legis-
lation for the success-1‘11! conduct of the
war, and neither the president nor the
department expect to ask for further
authority in connection with military
and naval movements against Spain.

If the war comes in an end before De-
cember «the preliminary negotiations for
peace must be conflicted by the execu—
tive. Should it ‘05 necesSary to con-
clude a. treaty ben.‘:'.rc_-. December the
president can at any time call the Sen-
ate together.

Entire Class Arrested.

West Point, July 6.-—-'I‘he entire third
class of cadets at the Military acade-
any has been placed under arrest by
Colonel Otto L. Hein, the commandant.
They will remain under arrest until
they decide to submit Ito an explana-
tion of their conduct on last Sunday
evening. They assembled on the pa-
rade ground after parade and created
a. disturbance by cheering for Colonel
Samuel Mills, their former command-
ant, who was very popular with the
cadets during his stay here, and. who is
no“ in f1 out of Santiago with General
Shaffer's army. in command of the

COMMENT IN LONDON.

 

Spain, Urged ito Sue for Peace at the
' Earliest Moment.

London, July 6.—The Daily Mail, 1'
an editorial, under the caption, “As in
1863, ” says.

“Wherever the English language is
spoken, yesterday there was jubiliation.
Admiral Cervera’s defeat by the Am-
erican navy ‘has nobly redeemed the
latter’s recent apparent inaction. Ad-
miral Sampson’ 5 name stands with
Admiral Dewey’s. With Sampson rests
the glory of this Fourth of July. If the
War had shown nothing else it would
have proved the amazing efficiency of
the American navv.”

The Times says:

“Admiral Sampson‘s brilliant exploit
was as complete as Admiral Dewey’s.
Nothing but the conviction that; his
plig’ht- witth the harbor was hopeless
could lave justified Admiral Cei'V'ei'a’s
attempt to leave. Had he been able
to judge correctly what was passing
in General Shafter’s mind. doubtless
he would have remained. The dlflicul-
tics of navigation probably caused him
to make 1a bold effort by daylight.

“.t is not: easy at. this moment to fore-
see 1the wider consequences of :the un-
challenged suprem-acy of the American
fleet in Cuban waters. Overpowered,
after an heroic defence, Spain’s only
course is—h’er friends even- in the
French press urge hen—to seek-peace.
which, even if onerous, cannot now be
dishonorable. ”

The Daily-Graphic says:

‘ “If Senor Sagasite. elects to risk fur-
ther disasters for fear ‘of the frothy
jingoes in Madrid, he will incur a. ter-
rible responsibility. The Spanish flag
has been borne with undying glory in
the face of tremendous odds, and the
punctilios of honor have been generous-'
ly satisfied."

The Daily News tenders similar ad-
vice. It says:

“The Spaniards can fight and die. So'
can the Americans. Ambassador Hay,
in his glowing and eloquent speech of
yesterday, gioried in this thought, but.
to their equal courage Americans add

in this unequal combat with Spain not

only vastly superior material resour-
ces, but in. devising of mind and a ski 1-
led organization without which brav-
ery is not-hing but a. means of provid~
ing stuff for the shambles. "

VICTIMS OF A TORNADO.

 

Elght Death: on the Result. of Yesterday’s
Storms at. Hampton Beach, N. H.

Hampton, N. H., July 6.—T-he toma-
d-o which swept over Hampton Beach
July 4 has almost dazed the people of
that. village, and aside from caring for
tt-he injured little has been done to—
wards clearing up the wreck of the
storm or estimating the full extent of
the damage. It is now set-fled that
the number of killed was eight, and
that he pecuniary loss will be several
thousand dollars.

Six cottages were wholly or partly
demolished, che casino, 3. restaurant,
and sever-3.1 barns, carriage houses and
other buildings. The Hampton beach
and the new Bearshead hotels also suf-
fered sOme damage.

The list of injured exceeds a score,
and the wounds in some cases are se-
rious. It was reported by the physi-
cians yesterday, however, that all were
doing well.

 

 

Waco Reduction in Canada.

' Montreal, July 6.—A 10 per cent. re-
duction in the wages of shirt makers
in this city came into effect on July 1
The manufacturers claim that Cana-
dian goods are being crowded out by
American and foreign and that the in-
dustry has been struggling against
great disadvantages since the present
tariff came into force. The shirt
manufacturers of Canada employ over
3,000 hands. ninety per cent. of whom
are women. These are paid wages av-
ereging $1 per day, which enables
them to‘livxe, if nothing more.

The Spaniards Think' Genera
_, Squadron Escaped. , '
Ms drid, July 6.—T‘ne general public 01

believes Admiral Cervera and his squa-
dron have escaped from Santiago ds
Cuba, thanks to the official ispatches
given out by the governmefft and the
interviews granted by the ministers. A
dispatch from Captain Geneml Blanca
says: , '
“Cervera' s squadron, at 11 o 'OlOck on
Sunday morning, broke the, center of
the line of the American fleet and pro-
ceeded at full steam in a. westerly di-
rection. "

The Spanish minister of marine, Sen-
or Aunon, is quoted in an interview as
5'? gar. 3.5; I)-

“I am highly pleased with the feat of
arms performed by Admiral Cervera’s
squadron, which left Santiago the mo«
ment Admiral Cervera. judged It oppor-
tune to do so. "

After euloglzing the‘ Spanish admi-
ral, the minister of marine added:

“The squadron con-1d only leave the
harbor at a. given moment, and when
the moment arnlved Admiral Cervera.
seized it. haVe never doubted he
would do so. But, of course, it is diffi-
cult to foresee the result. The Amerio
can sqaudron was taken by surprise.
After attacking us, the Amenican ad-
miral detached five of his best ships.
which steamed for some time abreast
of ours; but they Were soon left astern;
only the Iowa and Brooklyn were able
to follow our fleet, but it is certain they
will not do so far, for fear of reprlsals
on our part. Admiral Cervera. deserves
great praise."

Not one of the official dispatches re-
ceived from Cuba up to this hour make
mention of the destruction of Admiral
Cervera’s squadron, and, consequently,
the American accounts of the bat-tie
cause immense surprise and sensation,
though they are discredited by Span—
ish officials. ”

Everyone (13 «anxiously waiting for
news of =to-day’s expected bombard-
ment: of Santiago de Cuba, and it is
anticipated that the fighting will re-
sult in appalling bloodshed. The Span-
iard-s doubt whether the Americans,
even if they destroy the city, will suc-
ceed in penetrating .into it, as their
losses are confidently expected to be
enormous. The arrival of the Spanish
reinforcements at Santiago de Cuba
will, according to the people here, ena-
ble Santiago to make a. more tenacious
defence than would otherwise have
been the case.

 

London, July 6.—A dispatch to the
Evening News from Madrid says that
after Friday's battle at Santiago de Cu-
.ba. the marines and guns belonging to
Admiral Cervera' s fleet were reshipped,
preparatory to the squadron' s sortie
from the harbor.

 

Madrld Reports. About Manila Cmnpalg—h‘
. Madnld, July.6.—,-There,is~,much.com—
ment’here over the newa of the depart-
ure of the foreign warships from Ma-
nila. at the moment of the arrival there
of the American z-sz'nfdrcements. Only
two German, two French and four Bri-
tish warships now remain at Manila.
and the question i's..asked whether in-
ternational politics have undergone a
change. and whether the Americans
are to be given '3. free hand in the Phil-
ippine islands.

The news received here that the Bri-
tish conshl at Hong Kong has sent a
dispatch boat-to Manl‘la. for the pur-
pose of informing Rear Admiral Dewey
of the fact that Admiral Camm's
squadron. has «traversed the Suez canal
is much commented upon, and the
newspapers assert that the Egyptian
and Buitidh authorities purposely plac-
ed obstacles in the way of Admiral Cu.-
mara’s departure in order to delay his
arrival at Manila as. long as possible,
adding-that the British have been more
scrupulous in maintaining the neutral-
ity of the Suez canal than they were
when,they,allowed a steamer to leave

It is inferred that the neWs received
in Madrid about the. “Britishconsul”

thorities at Hong. Kong.

 

Affairs at 11011111...

London, July 6.—A dispatch from Ma-
nila. dated .July 2, says that. Captain
General August! made a sortie for the
purpose of repairing the aqueduct that
supplies the walled city in an endeavor
to communicate with General Monet.
The insurgents concentrated their
troops and opposed the sortie, forcing
the Spanish commander Ito return to
Manila.

The insurgents are said to have suf-
fered severe loss and the Spaniards are
reported to have had fifty men killed
and 150 men wounded.

San Francisco, July 6.—In accordance
with the wishes of the war department,
Major General Otis proposes to hasten
preparations for the departure of more
troops 'to Manila. The Peru and City
of Puebla. can sail this week if so or-
dered. The Pennsylvania. has been fa.-
vorably passed upon by Major Ruhlln,
chief quartermaster. The Titania will
be taken by the government on her
return from Northwest ports, and oth-
er steamers are being considered.

 

The Care of Prisoners.

Washington, July 6.—The capture of
1,600 men of Cervera's fleet, destroyed
off Santiago by Admiral Sampson and
Commodore Sch‘ley on Sunday, and of
2,000 in El Clancy, the suburb of that
town, on the right of the American line,
which was practically occupied by
General Shafter' s forces on Friday, and
the expected fall of Santiago give the
officers here an additional burden to
carry.

They 'must provide food and supplies
for the large number of prisoners that

of the land and sea. forces of the Uni-
ted States in Cuba, and the problem is
already engaging their serious atten-
tion. One of the great difficulties of
the question of getting troops to Cuba
was that of carrying with them suffi-
cient supplies; and with 'the addition
of thousands of Spanish troops to pro-
vide for, the departments of supplies
and transportation have their hands
more than full.

What we have won with our blood,
what we have won at the cost of life,
that we will never give up. What has
been won by saving life is none the
less a conquest; and it is by restoring
health and saving life that California
Catarih Cure has won the first place' 1n
the esteem of Norwalk people. That
place it will always hold, because by
rapid advance in popular favor, won its
almost instantaneous relief of the
Worst sufferings, has been followed up
and secured by thousands of perma-
nent cures. Its popularity is lasting,
because it rests upon cases like this:

Mrs. William W. Bloom, who lives
at 7 Water street, NorWalk, says: “I
have been troubled with catarrh 1n my
head and throat for some time. My
Whole head was stuffed up; the passages
of my head and throat would at times
become so filled with mucous that I
could not talk, and altogether it was ,
very annoying. I also suflered a great ‘
deal of the time with headaches. I
got a bottle of California Catarrh Cure
at Plaisted’ 5 drug store in South Nor-
walk, and ] think it is the greatest
'stuif' 1n the warld. It has cured me of
all the disagreeable suffering I have
had for so long; my throat troubles me
no more, and I haven’t had a headache
for weeks. I have recommended it to
several friends who have used it with
satisfactory results, and we all unite in
saying it is a wonderful medicine.”

C. C. C. is also invaluable for break-
ing up colds and preventing colds
“hanging 011;” it will absolutely pre-
vent an attack of hay fever if used
faithfully for several weeks before the
season, and used at any time it gives
great relief in all mucous diseases. All
