A conservative estimate places tho crowd of visitors at fully 20,000 and it is believed that fully 110,000 persons witnessed tho ceremonies nlteuding upon tho launching. Tho weather is ideal. Among the prominent persons from the national capital was Assistant Sec- rotary of tho Navy Allen, who came from Portsmouth, whore ho has been in spect in;: tho uavyyard. lie was on board tho dispatch boat Dolphin, and also attended tlro launching luncheon at ihe Chamberlaiu hotel this afternoon.

Finally the saw was hoard as it cut through the sole pieces of timbers that hold her on the ways and shortly afterwards sho glided gracefully into tho water.

Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 4. — State Hoalth Officer Sauudors received infor mation of an epideuiio of dengue fever at Jacksonville, Fla. A state quaran tine was immediately declared against Jacksonville and Mr. Saunders went thore to investigate the exact nature of the fever. : ’i of Military Operations From .the Embarkation of Troops at Tampa to tho Fall of Santiago. Washington, Oct. 4.—The war in. vestigating committoo began its exami nation of witnesses today by placing Gdneral J< u iph Wheeler on Uiojltaiid, Chairman Dodge stated to him the scope of the commission’s duties and asked General Wheeler whothor ho had auy objections to being sworn. Ho repliad that he had none, and Major Mills, the recorder for the commission, adminis tered tho oath. Ex-Governor Beaver conducted the examination, developing tho essontial facts as to General Wheeler’s rank and his command. General Wheeler stated that he left Tampa for Cuba on June 14, but lie had no knowledge of the cam paign before going aboard tho transport. Ho tLion told of tho voyage. On June 21 General Shnftov ordered him to dis embark the next day, which ho did with a portion of his command. He rode into the country 4 miles thnt day anil tho next moved his troops to Jagnracita. lie thou bogan bis rocon- noitering, arranging with General Cas tillo of tho Cuban army to send Cuban troops with his men for tho rocouuoiter, but unfortunately tho Cubans did not keop tho engagement. He- told of the first battle at La Quasiinn, stopping to compliment especially the regular troops and also to speak of their excellent fil ing. They soon lenrnod to distrust tho reports and estimates of the Span* birds. Genornl Whoolnr had not been ablo on his own account to secure any accurate estimate of the Spanish loss during tho American approach upon Santiugo. After tho First Rattle. Speaking of tho proceedings after the first battle bo explained that lie bad been reported sick and there were some movements just prior to the battlo at El Cnuey with which ho was uol familiar. “I was not sick,” ho said, “but had been on tho twenty-ninth uud thirtieth. Still I had not gone to tho sick list. 1 hnd a fever, but I appreciated the situa tion, took medicine and came out ail right.” Ho was in tho battle of El Caney and expressed the opinion, that more men had been killed in tbo formation of the line thou afferwnrdsi Ho told tbo necessity for wading tho San Juan river, saying that tho water was about waisi deep. “I ought to say,” said the goncral in the course of his testimony, “that il was magnificent to soo officers of high rank go across with their packs on theil backs, accepting nil the fortunes of wui with their men. They slept on the ground with the soldiors. None of us wero mounted and wo wore without tents for seven days.” Speaking of tho character of tho roads from tho coust to tho points occupied by tbo Americans, ho said that with such attention as tlioy wero ablo to givo to them tlioy wore very good. Bonds Equal to Demands. Tho rains had not been sovero up to that time. Tho roads were narrow but equal to tho demands. The supplies were considered sufficient, except in n few instances, and in tboso instances the deficiency was only temporary. “General Shafter, ” he said, “deserves great credit for the zeal ho displayed in this respect. Ho devoted hiuisolf to this task and I think there is no doubt he succeeded. Wo used pack trains and there was comparatively little suffering because of the shortness of quartermas ters’ supplies.” General Whoe'er said in rosponso to a question that Cervera’s fleet was tho object of the campaign. There was no reason why tho Spanish troops should not have made a sortie from Santiago and ho askod Geuoral Toral after the surrender why he had not attaekod. Tho latter replied that tho failure to do so was because his men were footsore. Yet General Wheeler could not accept this explanation, for tho Spanish sol diers wero not footsore. General Wheel er’s opinion was that the Spanish com mander was not ablo to face the Ameri cans in tho open. Discussing the plan of campaign, he said bo doubted whether any more ef fective plan could havo been adopted. Speaking of tho medical department, he said that at times there wore com I 'aints, but that they wero not serious, On occasions there was a shortage of surgoons, some of the surgoons being sick or wounded. Wounded All Cared For. According to General Wbeoler’s be lief tho wounded in battlo were promptly cared for by tbo surgeons. After tho fight of July 1 all the wounded were carried from the field that night. The witness had heard that there was more complaint of tho shortage of medicine among flic infantry than in tho cavalry arm of (lie service. Going back to Tampa, ho said that just, at that season, he was tliero the first half of June tho sito was without objection, but bo had felt that it would bo wot later in the season. It was his impression that Tampa liad beon se lected as a camp after the biginning of the war, and was incidental to the im tended movement on Havana. There was, ho said, at times some shortage of supplies at the camp, “but nothing,” he added, “that a soldier could complain of.” They had com- nurses, ho thought that if more had been furnished tho men would have been bettor cared for. As to rations, throo days’ supply wa« gonorally issued. Whenever tho troops went into notion they would throw tlieir food away, as wolf ns thoir packs, and they often did not recover them. General Wheolor took up tho common I A HUNTED ROEBUCK. REV. DR. TALMAGE ORAWS A LESSON FROM THE CHASE. Mnn Is Like ttic lfart Fleeing From (Ho DogH—Pnrnnetl hy Bln, He Finals Safety nnd Refreshment In the Wa ter* of Eternal Life. ICopyrlght, 1898, by American Press Asso ciation.] Washington. Oct. 2.—Dr. Talmage, drawing his illustrations from a deer hunt, in this discourse calls nil the pur sued nnd troubled of the earth to coma and slake their thirst ut the deed river of divine comfort; text, Psalms xlii, 1, “As the hart pnnteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul-after then, |0 God." David, who must some time have seen up mu V/UUHUUU 1 I *. • . report that tbo Cubans stole goods thus!® <Joor *' u . nt > points us here to a hunted discarded. It was not fair, ho said, to i Rtl *8 making for the water. The fasei- fortablo tents and tho commissary sup Tho wator supply his plies were sufficient, was also good. Ho said the men in command were well taken caro of. How ever, very few men at that time were sick. Ho had himself gone into the hospitals and had found the men doing well. General Wheeler said ho had no con trol over auy of the supplies whioh were taken to Santiago on the transports when he left Tampa. This was at tended to by the different staff officers. He only knew frotu conversation with thuH accuse tbo natives, for there was so much of this flotsnm and jetsam that, hungry nnd poorly clothed ns tho Cu bans were, thoy wore not to bo blamed for helping themsolvos. Ho said he had neon among the 22,000 pooplo who came out of Santiago manv ladies of refine ment who wero emaciated and evidently hungry. Scone on the I'nttlefield. In reply to quoslious ho stated ho never had heard of any shortage of commissary or ordnance supplies at Santiago, but he had been told that the medical snppiies-were short, yet he had no personal knowledge on this point. Ho hud seen some wounded men crawl ing to tho rear of tho engagements, but is a rule as soon ns a man foil in battle bo was carried to tho hospitals by the medical corps. Ho said that as n rule the quality of hard tack was good. Where tliere was any deterioration it was due to local rains and not to tho fact of original in feriority. Tho spirit of tho army was such, ho said, that there was no disposition to complain. “They worn all proud to bo there and willing to undergo hardships.” Replying to a question from Colonel Douby, General Whcelor said the regu lars had shown a greater ability to take care of tbeinsolves than tho volunteers. Tho volunteers were more careless, but tho volunteer cavalrymen wore not so uogligont as tbo other volunteers, be cause they wore generally western men, who had boon used to. camping. Ho thought (his fact had hud u strong in fluence in causing tho health of tho regulars to bo butler than that of tho volunteers. Query bj Evan Howell. Captain Howell usked to what he at tributed tho developments of disease after tho capitulation of Santiago, and Goneral Wheeler replied that it was duo to tho climate ujid to the oxposure made liocessary. All tho men seemed to bo more or loss affected by the condi tions. He had, ho said, known of no instance of a sick or wounded man dy ing from want of caro from tho physf ciuus. So far ns lio know there was genornl commendation of tho medical corps, except that on ono or two occa sions there had been some grumbling in regard to general conditions. He thought there was a deficiency in the number of ambulances, but this defi ciency was duo to tho exigencies of the campaign. General Wheelor also said in reply to Captain Howell that ho knew of no con fusion in shipping snpplios to Tampa. He was not acquainted with a casein which tho body of a vehicle was shipped on ono vessel and the whoels on another. Ais memory was not distinct as to com- plainss from physicians in his command as to the scarcity of medicai supplies, but lio thought there were some such complaints, and in snch ho had had them supplied as promptly as pos sible. There had been difficulty in getting the transports to lio as near inshore as was desirable, rendering it difficult to get at supplios promptly. CAMP POLAND INSPECTED. Nothing to Iinlinuto a Rcmovul of the Tennessee Division. Knoxville, Oct. 4.—Today’s evont at Camp Poland is the rigid inspection of various commands conducted by staff officers of General McKee in compliance with his orders. Especial attention to sanitary conditions is boiug directed. Nothing has beon received boro indi cating a removal of tho divisiou to any other camp. Regimental officers and men aro in favor of remaining. Health conditions have greatly improved hero and camps are all ideally looated as far as water, transportation facilities, etc., are concerned. No deaths are reported this morning at the division hospital. Orders restor ing regimental hospitals will not enuso abandonment of the division hospitals. It will be hold for worse cases. Regulars lu Poor Simp:*. Anniston, Ala., Oct. 4.—Lieutenant Colonel Marion P. Maus, inspector gen- oral on General Milos’ staff, spent the day hero inspecting the First and Sec ond regular infantry, which have been designated as a part of tho army of oc cupation which goes to Cuba about Oct. 20. Colonel Maus found these regi- meuts, which wero in all of the fighting around Santiago, and whioh came here recently from Moutauk Point, so badly broken up, both numerically and physi cally, that he will advise ngalnst their going until thoy got in better shape, and other regiinonts will undoubtedly be named in their stead for tlio first ex pedition. Peace .Jubilee For Atlanta. Atlanta, Oct. 4.—This city will havo a peace jubilee some time next month. Steps to that end wero taken at an in formal conference of business men, when Mayor Collier was requested to appoint preliminary committees on ar rangements. Efforts are making to se cure the attendance of Generals Lop and WJieeler and President McKinley and his cabinet. City ol itriiuswlck Flooded. Baxley, Ga., Oct. 4.—Advices reach ing this place from Brunswick say that city is from 2 to 10 feet under wator as a result of Sunday’s storm and the us ual high spring tide combined. Business houses uro reported flooded, two negro children drowned and a white wan killed by a falling chimney. The prop erty Joss will be enormous. Hating animal oulled in my toxt the hart is the same animal that in sacred and profane literature is oalled the stag, the roebuck, tbe bind, tho gazelle, the rein deer. In central Syria, in Bible times, there were whole pasture fields of them, as Solomon suggests when ho says, "I chargo you by the hinds of tbe field." Their autlers jutted from the long grass as they lay down. No hunter who has beeu long in "John Brown’s tract" will wonder that in tho Bible they wore classed among olean animals, for tha clews, the BhowerB, the lakes, washed thorn as olean as the sky. When Isaao tho patriarch longed for venison, Esau shot and brought home a roebuck. Isaiah compares tho sprightlinoss of tbe re stored cripple of millennial times to the long nnd quick jump of the stag, say ing, “The lame shall leap as the hart." Yoloinon expressed his disgust at a hunt- n who, having shot a deer, ia too lazy to cook it, saying, "The Biothful man ronsteth not. that which he took in hunting." Bntonoday David, while fnr from the home from which ho had been driven, nnd sitting near the mouth of a lonely cave wiiere ho hnd lodged, and on the banks of a pond or river, beats n pack of hbnnds in swift pursuit. Because of tbe previous silenoe of tbo forest tho clangor startles him, and he says to himself, "I wonder what those dogs are after." Then there is a crackling in tho brushwood, and tho loud breathing of somo rushing wonder of the woods, and the antlers of n deer rend the leaves of the thiolcet and by an instinct whioh all hunters recognize tho creature plunges into n pool or lake or river to cool its thirst and at the same time by its capacity for swifter and longer swimming to get away from the foam ing harriers. David snys to himself: “Aha, that is myself! Ban) after me, Absalom after me, enemies withont number after mo; I am chased; their bloody muzzles at my heels, barking at my good uamo, barking after my body, barking after iny sou). Oh, tho hounds, tlio hounds I But look there," says Da vid to himself; "that reindeer has splashed into tho water. It puts its hot lips nnd nostrils into the cool wave that washos its lathered flanks and it swims away from tbe fiery canines and it is free at last. Ob, that I might find in the deep, wide lake of God’s mercy and consolation escape from my pursuers) Oh, for tlio waters of life and resonel ‘As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my bouI after thee, O God.’ ” The Rlble True to Nature. Tho Adiroudncks nro now popnlons with hunters, and tbo deer are being slain by tbo score. Talking one summer with a hunter, I thought I would like to sco whether my toxt wns aocurate in its allusion, and ns I heard tho dogs bay ing a little way off and supposed they wore on the track of a deer, I said to one of the hunters iu rough corduroy, “Do tho deer always make for water when they are pursued?” Hesaid: "Oh, yes, mister. Yon seo they nre a hot and thirsty animal, nnd they know where tho water is, and wlion they lionr dan ger in the distanod they lift their ant lers nnd sniff the breeze and start for the Rnquet or Loon or Sarnnao, and wo get into onr cedar shell boat or stand by the ‘runaway’ with rifle loaded and rendy to blaze away. ” My friends, that is one reason why I like the Bible so much—its allusions are so true to nature. Its partridges are real partridges, its ostriches teal ostrich es and its reindeer real reindeer. I do not wonder that this antlered glory of the text makes the hunter’s eye sparkle and his cheek glow and his respiration quicken. To say nothing of its useful ness, although it is the most useful of all game, its flesh delioious, its skin turned into human apparel, its sinews fashioned into bowstrings, its antlers patting handles on cutlery and the shavings of its horn usod as a pungent restorativo, tho name takon from the hart and called hartshorn. Bnt putting aside its usefulness, this enchanting creature seems made out of graoefulness and elasticity. Whnt an eye, with a liq uid brightness ns if gathered up from a hundred lakes at sunset I The horns, a coronal branching into every possible curve, and after it seems complete as cending into other projections of ex- qnisitencss, a tree of polished bone, up lifted iu pride or swung down for awful combat. The hart is velocity embodied; timidity impersonated; the enchant ment of tho woods. Its eye lustrous in life and pathotio iu death. Tho splendid animal a complote rhythm of muscle and hone and color and attitudo and locomotion whether conohed in the grass among the shadows or a living bolt shot through the forest, or turning at l&y to attack the hounds, or rearing for itM last fall under tho buckshot of the trap per. It is a splendid appearanae that the painter’s pencil fails to sketch, and only u hunter’s dream on a pillow of hemlook at the foot of St. Regis is able to pioture. When 20 miles from any set tlement it comes down at eventide to the lake’s edge to drink among tbe lily pods and with its sharp edged hoof shat ters tbe crystal of Long lake it is very picturesque. But only when after miles The World’s Great Blood Purifier is Hood’s Sarsaparilla, Which absolutely Cures every form of Impure blood, from The-pimple on your Face to the great Scrofula sore which Drains your system.
