-u „ Hugo.
e Cuba, Oct. 26.—Maj. Pettit, in
‘ I of the United States troops at
w Ho and military governor of the
i ■ uraphed to-day that the Cuban
j - offered two armed men to as-
Ht . Americans in preserving order,
r , iv eking rations in return.
, Wood -int the following reply:
,i jy not. The only conditions on
. al ionß are to bo issued are the
1,., , disarmament and disbandment of
the troops.
of the Cubans here consider that
)hi -1 States is treating its allies bad-
I, . n ot allowing the Cuban fences to
r n , ,rmod. They contend that the Cu
t, i, ..i .rs who have been tighting three
y , who speak the language of the
fOU i ~ ire better fitted for garrison duty
(hm -untrained volunteers.”
-j . Cuban general, Maeia Rodriguez,
virtually voices the sentiment of the Cu
ban army when he says: 'We thank the
pnii.d States for the assistance it has
giv, n us but ihe time has now arrive 1
when the Cubans should be placed In the
h> , i offices ~nd should prepare to take
over the island on the departure of the
Spanish.”
Cuban extremists here are jubilant at
the reported attitude of the Cuban assem
bly at Santa Cruz del Sur where the dele
gat,--. while expressing their gratitude to
ii,, Americans, practically demand a dis
til, i Cuban government. The Cuban
mo,lt rates, on the other hand, regret this
stand, thinking it best for the United
Suites officers to continue in charge of af
f,ir- for a year at least, so as to set
nines going and to prevent any complica
tioi with foreign governments.
Those who advocate annexation to the
Vi icl States are extremely anxious as to
Ihe outcome. A prominent Cuban, em
ployed under our government, who is a
moderate and well able to judge of the
fing in Santiago, says those three par
ties are well defined and would poll about
equally, but that in the event of the ex
termists endeavoring to force an issue a
majority of moderates would join the an
te xalionists.
The foreign consuls are considering the
advisability of appealing to the Powers to
prevent u too hasty recognition of the
Cuban government.
Gen Wood is fully resolved to allow no
more paupers to land here, especially no
more from the West Indies, a class entire
ly unwiiling to do hard w r ork. One schoon
er from Jamaica and one from Hayti,
loaded with negro emigrants, have been
ordered to return their passengers to the
ports of embarkation.
Lieut. Victor Blue, in command of the
prize gunboat Alvado, arrived here this
morning from Guantanamo and left later
to inspect the wrecks of the six Spanish
gunboats, driven ashore on July 3 by the
Veiled States warships with a view to
raise some or all of them if possible.
Lieut. Blue says the Infanta Maria Te
resa will leave Guantanamo on Sunday
next for the United States, going under
Ft. am. but accompanied by the Vulcan,
which will be prepared to render any as
sistance necessary.
The United States transport Roumanian
arrived here to-day from Manzanillo en
route for Guantanamo with Col. Ray’s
lmmunes.
Col. Ray brought $3,700,000, representing
ci;-tom receipts at Manzanillo. The San
tiago customs receipts for September were
139.233.81. It Is expected that the recei; ts
for this month will exceed SIOO,OOO.

DINNER in honor of WARDS.
Given hy Mr. M. V. Itnley to a Num
ber of His Friends.
One of the most enjoyable dinners re
cently given in Savannah was that ten
dered to a number of his friends by Mr.
M. V. Raley, in honor of Mr. Frederick
Warde, at the De Soto lat night.
After the performance at the theater the
guests gathered in the hotel lobby, and
were soon invited into the banquet room.
Admirable preparations had been made,
and the guests found the most elaborate
of table decorations awaiting them. The
courses were excellent, and intermingled
with toasts, brilliant speeches, wit, humor,
songs, and the tender expressions that
friendship fathers, they w, re enjoyed. Old
wines loaned the spice of their vintages to
the “feast of reason and flow of soul,”
and at an early hour the company dis
persed, bidding adieu and god-speed to
the guest of the occasion and happiness
and long life to the host.
Mr. Railey and Mr. V a nip are
friends of more than 'twenty years'
standing. During this long while
they have been close to each other. When
Mr. Raley learned, that Mr. Warde would
visit Savannah he decided upon the din
ner given last night as a fitting occasion
for tlie introduction personally of the gift
ed actor N:o a number of gentlemen here.
Mr. Raley wished to give his Savannah
1 fiends an opportunity of knowing Mr.
Warde. At the dinner were Messrs. A. Sy
brandt, Edward Karow, Emile Newman.
A. Leffier, Herman Myers, A. E. Sholes,
P. A. Stovall, B. H. Levy, D. A. Weis,
W. K. Haile. C. L. Myers, Mayor P. W.
Meidrim, Dr. XV. W. Owens, Maj. Gen.
F. V. Greene and Maj. G. W. Ruthers.
Mr. Raley acted ae toastmaster. He
made a neat little introductory speech, af
ter which the guests were seated. After the
first course he called upon Mayor Meidrim
to welcome Mr. Warde, The welcome was
extended in the manner that character
izes Maj. Meldrim's speeehie, and was re
sponded to brilliantly by Mr. Warde, whose
personality attracted every one.
Mr. Stovall was called upon to respond
to "The American Stage.”
Mr. Warde was again called upon, and
his reminiscences of Booth, Barrett and
McCullough, told with the grace of the
actor and the charm of the gentleman,
were listened to with interest.
Mr. Sybrandt sang “The Palms,” in
French, ‘n response to continued demands.
Gen. Greene was called upon after a
toast had been drunk, standing, to “The
American Army.” His talk was interest
ing, being an account of his experiences
while in command at Manila, and of the
events of his military career.
Other gentlemen spoke before the party
separated. The occasion will long be re
remembered by all who were present as
one of much enjoyment.
SECRETARY LONG'S ADDRESS.
Given a Big Welcome by the Massa
chusetts Republican Club*.
Boston, Oct. 26.—Secretary of the Navy
Long received a genuine New England
welcome at Music Hall to-night on the
occasion of the annual dinner of the Re
publican Club of Massachusetts. There
were more than 800 representative Repub
licans of New England at the tables. The
other guests of honor were Gov. Wolcott,
Senator Lodge and Congressman Dingley.
Secretary Long was the principal speak
er. He said In part; “My experience in
the cabinet has confirmed the impression
that I have long cherished that a cabinet
officer with or without a vote should have
a place upon the floor of Congress, where
he shall at once be subject to question in
all matters of his administration and have
the opportunity to present in person the
needs and demands of his branch of the
public service; so might he best get larger
growth.
“The almost entire freedom of the navy
during the war from loss of life from
sickness and disease, and from even ordi
nary casualties, is the best evidence of
the thoroughness of its preparation, the
intelligence of its direction and the skill,
efficiency and thorough training of its of
ficers and men. Let me bear my testi
mony that all this has been the work of
the navy itself and not of any man at its
head; of the completeness of its system
and the competency of its personnel. Of
its professional spirit I cannot speak too
highly. That spirit animated the officer
on the deck, the commandant at the navy
yard, the chief in the bureau, and no less
the grades, every one of them, below
these. Line and staff, superior and su
bordinate, have all worked with matchless
fidelity and ability, and harmonious no
operation, and deserve equal honor.
“The glory of the navy and the glory of
the war which It shares with the army,
is not, however, In battle alone; or, rather,
it is not in the brutal elements of battle.
“It is rather in the fine instinct, the
courage, the splendid devotion, the intense
patriotism which nerxe men to endure
what otherwise were the unpardonable
horrors of armed conflict for the sake of
the great ends and cause for which bat
tles are fought. The war through which
we have Just passed was not waged for
the exultation of victory. It was for the
loosening of the yoke of bond
age, the elevation of an oppressed
people, the divine civilization of the com
ing century. Its finer touches were more
in the generous humanity it aroused than
In the splendid courage it evoked. Not a
trace of personal animosity toward the foe
was visible, from beginning to end. Few
words will last longer than those which
Capt. Evans uttered when he said to his
men during the battle of Santiago that ‘So
long as the enemy flew its flag, they fought
like American seamen, but when the flag
was hauled down they were as gentle and
tender as American women.’
“It was a revelation to the Spanish pris
oners when'they found themselves receiv
ed in the encampment, rather than prison,
at Portsmouth, with Christian* kindness,
their wounds bound up and every want pro.,
vided for. The* lesson has not been lost on
the- civilization of time when Cervera, re
turning to his seat in the Spanish Senate,
proclaims the humanity of America and
suggests to Spain that she benefit by our
example, awaken from her bondage of old
limitations and fo Ww the lead of Ameri
can enterprise and American institutions."
OREGON INDIVNS MURDEROUS.
They Wound Several Parties Near
Canon City.
Baker City, Ore., Oct. 26.—Word was re
ceived here to-uay by telephone from
Canon City of a shooting affray in which
Indians shot and seriously wounded Dave
Cuttings and shot the horses from under
E. Duneaq and F. Mosier. The redskins
then went to the home of John High and
shot him, but not fatally. The scene of
th<- trouble is on the Fouth fork of John
Day river, about thirty miles southwest
of Canon City. A well armed posse- from
Canon City has taken up the trail and
haid lighting is expected as the Indians
are well armed. _

THE NURSE WON HIS HEART.
Prof. Daniel* to Wed a Presbyterian
Hospital Attendant.
From the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette.
Princeton, N. J., Oct. 22.—Princeton Uni
versity has a romance such as it has never
had before, and the staid people of the
little old college town have turned to won
dering. It came about In a most remark-,
able way.
Last January Prof. Daniels did not
meet his classes in political economy, and
it was announced that he was very ill. He
had been compelled to give up work for
the time being, and had gone to New
York to occupy a private room in the
Presbyterian Hospital. It was there that
he found even more than health, for by
the time he was recovered from his illness
he had lost his heart to the nurse who
had saved his fife.
He had been attended by Miss Robert
son, one of the regular attendants in the
hospital, and her womanly qualities had
app aled to his admiration as strongly as
her skill as a trained nurse did to his
bodily needs. He went back to his classes
not only recuperated In strength, but with
a more buoyant spirit.
The students notic and that his lectures
were more interesting and his smiles more
frequent. A new force had entered Into
his life. Frequently thereafter It was no
ticed that he made trips away from
Princeton, and the students soon found
out that he went to Montvllle, Conn. That
was the home of the nurse who had at
tended him at the hospital.
Last Saturday the professor left Prince
ton, and it was announced that he would
not meet his classes again for a week. The
students prepared to give him a rousing
reception on his return, but were in the
dark beyond the fact that he was to be
married. They had no Idea of the identity
of the bride. Just before his departure
they had decorated the board in front
of which he lectured with pictures of old
shoe-s, rice and other emblems of matri
mony, but the professor only smiled, and
gave them no details of tlie approaching
ceremony.
The secret leaked out this week, when
Profs. Thompson, West and Wickoff took
the train for Montvllle. They went to at
tend the wedding. Prof. Wickoff, of the
department of sociology, acted as best
man.
Prof. Daniels is very popular with the
students, and they are making extensive
preparations to welcome him properly
when he returns to Princeton.
THE ORIGIN OF “YANKEE.”
It I* an Old Cherokee Word and
Means Coward or Slave.
From the Charlotte Observer.
Maj. W. A. Guthrie of Durham, in ad
dition to being an able lawyer, an astute
politician, and an admirable gentleman
otherwise, is fond of literature of the
best class. He likes to eearch through
rare books and papers. Some years ago
at the sale of the elTects of some aged
citizen he bought two rusty-looking vol
umes for a mere trifle, along with other
books. On examining the books he found
them to be “Travels Through the Interior
Parts of America, in a Series of Lectures
by an Officer of the British Army.” They
are the letters of Lieut. Thomas Au
burey. He was taken a prisoner at the
battle of Saratoga during the revolutionary
war. From there he was sent as a pris
oner to Boston, and later was marched
with many other prisoners of the Brit
ish army, who had been captured at
various places, to Charlottesville, Va. Mr.
Jones, a large planter of Virginia, and a
member of the Continental Congress, had
tendered his plantation and negro quarters
to the Congress for a prison camp. From
this plantation Auburey wrote many of his
letters. All the prisoners were paroled.
This officer spent his time In riding about
the country around Charlottesville. The
letters were to a friend of his in England.
Later the letters were published in two vol
umes and were dedicated to the Earl of
Harrington, Viscount Retersham, and col
onel of the Twenty-ninth Regiment of
Foot. They begin Aug. 8, 1776, and run
to Oct. 30. 1781.
The letters aro full of interesting and
instructive reading. In volume 2, page 16,
written from Cambridge, New England,
Nov. 25, 1777, is a history of the word Yan
kee.
Before the revolutionary war the Vir
ginians called the New Englanders Yan
kees; from then to the civil war every
body that was not of the New England
states called the New Englanders Yan
kees. and during the civil war everybody
north of the Mason and Dixon line was
called Yankee.
As to the word, Lieut. Auburey wrote in
1777* “The lower class of these Yankees—
apropos it may not be amiss here Just to
observe to you the etymology of this term
is derived from the Cherokee word,
Eankke, which signifies coward and slave.
This epithet of Yankee was bestowed upon
the Inhabitants of New England by the
Virginians, for not assisting them in a
war with the Cherokees, and they have al
ways been in derision by it. But the name
has been more prevalent since the com
mencement of hostilities; tlie soldiers at
Boston used it as a term of reproach; but
after the affair at Bunker Mill, the Amer
icans gloried in it. Yankee Doodle is now
their pean, a favorite of favorites, played
in their army, esteemed as warlike as the
“Grenadier’s March." It is the loon’s
spell, the nurse's lullaby.
“After our rapid successes we held the
Yankees in great contempt; but it was not
a little mortifying to hear them play this
tune when their army marched down to
our surrender.”
Such is the history of the etymology of
the word “Yankee.”
CHINESE REVEL IN ODORS.
Dead Friend* Frequently Kept for
Months In Living; H ion s,
From the Fall Mall Gazette,
The Chinese have no olfactory nerves,
as we understand them, amt novel in the
foulest odors as they do In tilth. Remark
ing on this trait to an English missionary
whom I met In Inland China, be related
how that the atmosphere in the house
of a native pa was so bad that once
when visiting iqm he exi>o.ful,ated on the
need of recommending Christianity by
some attention to the drains. But a fort
night later, when he came again, the evil
odor was even worse, though the much
troubled pastor explained that everything
had been overhauled since last time, and
that ail was now sweet. Tnsisting. how
ever, on ascertaining the cause, the Eng
lishman commented a lour of inspeuion
by tapping the handsome ooffin. which
every well-to-do Chinese keeps under the
sitting-room table, with the casual sug
gestion that something might have got
in there.
“Oh, yes,” replied the reverend native,
“that's my wife’s father He came in from
the country some weeks ago, and died
here; so we Just put him dn there :ill his
friends should come for him.”
The clannish instinct of the Chinese Is
so strong that eve y effort is made to n
sure burial at the ancestral temple, and
bodies often have to traverse Immense dis
tances that this may lie accomplished.
Dead Chinese are commonly repatriated
from Australia and America- Oil one oc
casion one of the 150 Chinese on. a Cana
dian Pacific train in which the writer was
traveling died “on board.” He was trans
ferred to the baggage wagon, a coffin was
telegraphed for at the next town of im
portance, and thenceforward he was stow
ed among tho Saratogas till lie reached
China.
A. H. Smith, in his incomparable “Chin
ese Characteristics,” tells, among many
good stories, of an old woman who, to
save her heirs the cost of transporting her
body, tramped home seme scores of miles
when about to die, and felt rewarded
when the end came. For some years
past there have been difficulties in the
way of taking home the bodies of the
Nlngpo colony in Shanghai, famous for
their fretwork, and carving, so that an
accumulation of bodies has been taking
place at their temple to such an extent
that this summer thei French have iieen
driven to drastic measures, the result
of which we* now near of in the papers.
Were this sanitary method always . m
pioyed it would not so much matter, but
the Chinese are too oftt n content to elis
pense even with burial. Often as not they
leave the huge, solid coffins containing
their friends in the open country, witn
nothing more than a ckel of earth on top,
till they begin to fall apart, when they
are banked up a hit. Petroleum eases
come in usually for children., and may b<-
seen standing out In rows with the iiti.e
forms doubled Inside. Oihers bury in the
hillsides, tunneling in and building up the
entrance, so that almost every bit of ris
ing ground Ln some parts has lieen thus
“consecrated" aginst railways and Eu
ropean concessions. Chinese cemeteries
are not, on the whole, inviting-places, end
It is not exactly pleasant to be stopped
in a narrow canal by the passage of the
boats conveying celestial remains.
Chinee.- notions of death are hy no
means morbid, and a prosperous trades
man is proud of tlie handsome "shell”
which confronts all who enter his door,
especially as it is adorned with deep
car* ed golden charaoPTs which tell his
virtues —“Mr. Bullder-of-a-Monastery-
Ohang.” "Mr. Feeder-of-the-Wldo ws-
Tseng,” and so or. This is less expen
sive and more useful than the erection
of wayside arches, such as one often
sees set up to commemorate “work* of
merit.” These “dawing-rofem” coffins
are of polished cedar or kindred wood.
They arc massive constructions of a pe
culiar shape, with curving skies some two
and a half inches thick, overhanging base
and top ar.d sunk with straight sides.
Within they are carefully prepared for
use, and furniehed with four to six gal
lons of lime, in which the body rests.
Clad complete with a special cap and roll
ed in a bed quilt, the defunct Celestials
are laid to rest.
—Jimmy—But what do you do when
you git real sleepy? You don’t own up

Tribal Punishment for Officer* Who
Kill Thrfr Men by Way ol' “Dtsclp
llne.”
From the London Chronicle.
A correspondent send, us the following
translation from a German paper of the
recent killing of a sergeant by his officer,
Count Stolberg-Wernigerode:
"The following particular, are now
available of the exploit of Count Stolberg-
Wernigerode, captain in the Fifteenth
.Regiment of Uhlans, in Saarburg, Alsace,
who cut down Sergeant Stelnhardt of hi*
regiment. Stelnhardt was quartermaster,
nnd was ordered off to forage. The sol
diers engaged in cooking forgot. In the
sergeant's absence, to insert the rubber
rings iu the covers of the (Kits, in con
sequence of which the food got spoiled.
Capt. Count Stolberg called Stelnhardt to
account for this. sergeant excused
himself from blame on the ground of his
enforced absence. Later on the captain
renewed his reproaches, and told Steln
hardt he was the lowest cur and greatest
blackguard in the regiment. Stelnhardt
answered that he did not think he deserv
ed to be called that. On this Count Stol
berg gave him a box on Ihe ear that made
him reel over against the wagon. Steln
hardt said to two of hi. comrades: "You
saw how I was struck.” Count Stolberg
immediately drew hts sword, and first
gave Stelnhardt a cut on the leg, and
then a thrust on the left side of the head.
Stelnhardt fell down unconscious. (An
other account tells how Stelnhardt, on
first coming to, tried to stop the blood
with his handkerchief, and to stand at
“attention” till he fell unconscious again)!
He was taken to Hagenau, where he died
without recovering consciousness. The
funeral look place with full military hon
ors, according to the "B. N.,” (Badlsehe
Nachrichten), which demonstrates that
Stelnhardt’s Innocence Is recognised even
officially. The parish priest in his funeral
oration before the whole body of officers,
denounced the act perpetrated by Stol
berg as one of the most brulal violence.
The father (of the murdered man), himself
a veteran wearing the medals for, the
campaigns of 1864, 1866 and 1870-71, looked
as If he would sink Into the grave of til.
son, for sorrow' and pain. The son had
supported the old pensioner from his pay.
Count Stolberg has been arrested and tak.
en to the military prison In Slrashurg. It
is said that he has already killed an or
derly of his.” I
A year ago a Lieut, von Brusewitz, In
Karlsruhe, pursued, cut down and killed
a civilian who had bumped against his
chair at a cafe. He was sentenced to
two years’ simple Imprisonment, of which
the Emperor remitted eighteen months.

But a well person becomes tired of land
scapes, so Mr. Whitney’s one effort has
been to change the scenery, so far as
money and brains can, to assuage the
dreadful monotony of her sickness.
First, he built a race course, where his
and his son’s horsts are schooled over the
Jumps. Now he Is having golf links laid
out, the great part of the course being
within tlie track circuit, and directly in
view from the sick chamber.
Dr. Mann, the attendant physician, lived
at Koslyn, three miles from the Whitney
home, and although they had telephone
connections and horses and traps In
plenty, the Whitneys thought it better to
have the physician nearer; so the Velsor
farm, adjoining the Whitney property,
was bought last week at a cost of $13,000,
and Dr. Mann is now living there.
This no doubt, gives rise lo the rumor
that Mrs. Whitney was growing worse.
On investigation that was proved to be
untrue, as the suffering woman Is slowly
but surely improving, and her family and
physicians have every hope of her ultimate
recovery.
Besides the new golf course another
amusement Is in store for Mrs. Whitney,
although it Will be only temporary. The
Meadow Brook Steeplechase Association
will hold Its third annual cross country
races at the Whitney place on Nov. 8,
and Mrs. Whitney will have the pleasure
of tPiiricssing a real race meet—something
which few. If any. other invalids ever en
joy'd. The card will consist of six races,
three steeplechases for gentlemen riders,
one flat race for hunters, an open steeple
chase and a team race, the last being the
feature of the programme. Besides the
natural hunting property the six furlong
course already laid out makes the Whitney
property particularly adapted for the
races.
Mrs. Whitney will have an uninterrupt
ed view of all these, and will, no doubt,
be the most interested spectator.
IN MEMORY OF ENSIGN II AG LEY.
A Tablet to lie Placed In the Naval
Academy Clinpel.
From the New York Times.
A tablet in memory of Ensign Worth
Bagley of the Toriedo Boat Winslow,
killed on May 11 In Cardenas harbor, is
now in preparation at the studio of the
ilYany Deeoraltng Company. When
completed It is to be placed in the Naval
Academy chapel at Annapolis as the gift
of Ensign Bagley’s brother officers of the
torpedo boat flotilla.
The memorial is of polished brass, and
has at the top, a palm branch ami a
sword crossed, and at the bottom n laurel
wreath crossing the palm. The inscription
is as follows;
In Memory of
WORTH BAGLEY,
Ensign United States Navy.
The first American officer who
fell In the Spanish-American war.
Killed on board the torpedo boat
"Winslow” during the bombard
ment of Cardenas, May 11. 1888.
"X have fought a good fight; X
have finished my course; 1 have
kept the faith.”—Xl. Timothy, 1v,7.
This tablet Is erected by the
officers of the Atlantic torpedo
boat flotilla.
The tablet will be put In place sometime
during the coming month.
There are memorial tablets In all the
spaces between the windows In the Naval
Academy chapel. With one exception they
commemorate the lives ol Ihe men most
distinguished In the navy. The exception
Is that to a professor of mathematics. The
Bagley tablet Is to be placed to the right
of the. chancel facing the eongr. gallon.
"I want it to be where the boys can read
it,” said an officer concerned in securing
this memorial. These tablets with their
inscriptions are what the cadets read dur
ing the service, and they are often worth
more to them than the sermon. They are
our creed, and silently preach to the boys
who will soon take the places of those
whoso valor the tablets commemorate. The
chapel at Annapolis is the Westminster
A i .bev of America.
DIED FROM TOO Ml’Olf Ain.
New line 111 u m Makes n Balloon of the
Victim's Skin.
From the New York Press.
One of the strangest cases the authori
ties of St. Vincent's Hospital have had in
a long time is that of John McGuire of No.
593 Greenwich street, who died at the hos
pital yesterday. He had an ailment called
emphysema, which caused the skin of his
body to become like a Madder and air, get
ting under it, caused It to swell until the
man was unrecognizable.
McGuire fell or was pushed downstairs at
his home on Thursday morning. No ambu
lance was summoned till 9 a. m., six hours
after the man had been injured. Then Dr.
Denaouilly of St. Vincent’s Hospital found
that McGuire’s skull had been fractured.
There were also a fracture of the collar
bono, eoveratl fractured ribs and a puncture
of the lung. The last named affliction, Dr.
Denaouilly said, produced emphysema.
"There are only six eases of this disease
on record,” said Dr. Denaouilly. ' Three
of them have been at this hospital. The
ailment Is due to anew bug, called the
aerogenes bacillus, which germ produces
atr.
"Half an hour after McGuire reached the
hospital his skin, from head to foot, was
in the same slate, Ihe skin swelling up
from the air which was pushed under It
and which pushed the skin out so that the
man could not be recognized. When I
pressed my hand on the skin it crackled
as though eggshells were beneath the sur
face.”
The swelling did not go down at any
time, and the man died yesterday. The
body Is sttll In Ihe same condition, and
several physicians have called at the hos
pital to see it. The police have been en
able to learn anything regarding the cause
of the injuries to McGuire.
