served daring the war in company A,
Twelfth liliooio eolunleera, and new
drawa a pension of 112 per month. He
served from April 17,18C1, to Aug. 1,
the Mme year, and receired hie pen
aioo on the grounds of “disease ol the
digestive organs, liver trouble and
rheumatism." The pension was ap
plied for Feb. 12, 1896.
Io New York the harboi authorities
are enforcing the harbor regulations
for the closing of the port at night by
patting down contact mines at night
and taking them up in the morning,
A contact mine is one which explodes
upon being struck by a ship. There
are no vessel masters who are so reck
, lees as to sail over or twist their pro*
pollers among such minM.
Bat every mao in the American
navy will bear himself the better be
cause of their example. Admiral
Dewey will be sn inspiration to the
older men, and Ensign Bagley to tie
younger. A brave man’s influence j
dose not depart with bis life. Tbe
one fought nobly, and lives; the other
fought nobly, and died. Each did hia
fall duty according to bis station and
opportunity, and thereby demonstra
ted hie worthiness to wear bio coun
try's uniform. Both were victors, al
tbough but one survives—Washing
ton Star.
The war with Spain has reacted io
a rather peculiar manner upon the
Pollman Car Company. Many of tbe
company’s finest coaches bare on their
sides classical or poetical Spanish
names, such as Castile, Seville, Merce
dee, Cadix, and the like. Cars having
Spanish names are said to be strictly
boycotted by a considerable part of
tbe patriotic American traveling pub
lic. At Pittsburg tbe other day a
gentleman got almost furious because
he and bis family were assigned to
travel in tbe car Blanco, and tore up
bls tickets and rode in tbe day car.
It io Mid tire Pullman company will
send tbe can with Spanish names to
the shops and have the offending titles
painted oat and mmelbing American
eobetitated.

“Gen. Wheeler, do you expect to go
to Cuba?” asked a Chattanooga Times
interviewer on Wedneeday.
“I don’t know whether I will go to
the island or not.” replied, tbe general.
“During my whole military career I
never asked for an order or objected to
an order, nor have I asked a moment’s
delay in obeying an order. Gen.
Brooke is now my commander, and
every effort of mine will bo to prompt
iy and distinctly comply with bis or
ders and to make my command effi
cient. I take it this way, that the
government knows all of tbe facts,
and the soldiers have nothing to do
Mve carry out tbe policy oi the ad
ministration and obey promptly tbe
orders of the commanders As yet I
have received no intimation about go
ing to Cuba. lam ready to go wher
ever my commander may direct."

around at the cavalry, “looks liks old
time. <o be here.’’

to pot down the rebellion io Cobs
since January, 1895, a fatality uopre
cadeotsd by that recorded in tbe hia
tory of any former campaign in mod
ern times, of 147,000 as killed, died or

over one-fourth part lor active doty.
While there is some comfort io tbe
above figures, as showing the weak
ness of Spain w Cuban army and tbe
difficulties la the way ol successfully
concentrating an army on the island,
there is also much food for serious
thought therein.
If the United Slates has the same
experience, an invasion ot Cuba is not
to be relished by our troops, even
though the danger from Spanish bul
lets is not considered, ft is conceded
that tbe insurgents have killed com*
paratively few Spaniards io battle,
certainly a smaller number than the
Spaniards may hope to kill of United
States troops, so that disease is main
ly responsible for the terrible mortali
ty above noted. And disease is no
respecter of uniforms, knows no flag
and maintains strict neutality.between
two enemies We may have the ad
vantage of belter discipline, bet’er
food, etc , in our favor, but even then,
we cannot expect, to escape entirely
