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.

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." 1 ‘•Thia,” added Gen.

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.
