UNION VETERANS.

NSW 4OEAS aug. o.-4uo OulOu
Veterans Patriotic league, of which
Maj. Gen. Daniel e. Sickles is presid-
ent. and Maj. Gen. William B. Frank.
lin and Maj. Gen. Horace Porter, vice
presidents, to-day issued an address
to the surviving soldiers and sailors
who served in the Unionsarmy and,
navy during the war Of the Rebellion
The. address 10 part follows: SIS;
"0omrades: Your country is again.
in peril. In the present presidential
campaign dangerous combinations
again threaten the integrity Of the
government. Misguided men con-
spire to bring repudiation, dishonor.
and financial ruin upon this nation
once saved by your valor. Many of
our great leaders have been mustered
out, and have gone to their reward.
Were they living they would be un-
ted with us in this crisis as they
were in the days of the war. 1t re-.
mains for US, their comrades, who
followed where they led, to guard the
good work they upheld while living,
and to preserve all they helped us to
gain for our country. Should this dan
gerous and revolutionary conspiracy
against the financial honor and integ-
rlty of the government meet with
success every pensioner, every depos-
ttor In q savings bank, every policy
holder In an insurance company, etc, :,
would lose one-half of what is due
him by being paid In 50-cent dollars.
The price Of everything the working
man buys will be doubled; but he
would have to struggle and wait long
before he secured any substantial IN
crease in his wages.
We appeal to you to lay aside all
partisan differences, to prefer country
oparty now as we did in the dark days
OF the civil war, and rally to the sup.
port of our gallant comrade. Maj. Nc.
Kinley, the first private soldier who
has ever been nominated to the high
VAAASS VI oAV VAV0IOOuO VI Uu0 OulUcU
States, who stood shoulder to should
er With YOU in many memorable bat
ties, and for two long years carried
his musket and shared the tolls and
dangers which fell to the lot Of the
men In the ranks who defended the
Union; and who to-day stands for the
good name and maintenance of the
party.
Therefore, we urge you to form
yourselves into an association to be
known as the "Union Veterans Pat
riotic League" and to do all IN your
power as individuals and members of
the league to secure the triumph of
the right.
The address urges every veteran
and son of a veteran to send his ad.

A strange coincldence.

A certain peasant and his wife, In
Germany were married on the same
day as the Emperor and Empress, the
peasants Christian name being VIII
liam. Their first child, boy, was born
on the same day as the crown prince.
after which they had five other sons,
each Of whom was born at the same
time as the five younger boys of the
Emperor. The royal couple were in
formed of this, and were exceedingly
interested In the very strange coincl-
Lence, but this interest was intensified
when. on the last occasion Of a royal
birth, viz, the little daughter of the
Kaiser, 1t was learned that the peas
ants wife in question had also given
birth to a daughter on the same day.
So astonished were the Emperor and
Empress that they stood as godfather
and godmother to this little girl, and
have we'll provided for her future. -

Feed Your Bamboo Chairs.

The pretty and inexpensive bamboo
furniture. so much used now, requires
to be treated differently from the or
binary wooden furniture AS bamboo
Is liable to crack and come apart. it
must be fed so as to counterfeit the Ill
effects Of dryness in the room. The
furniture should be exposed to the air
whenever possible. Do not place too
near a fire, and it should be rubbed
regularly with equal parts Of linseed oil
and turpentine applied with a fannel
and then rubbed in with soft cloth
An occasional wash in cold water, fol
lowed by thorough drying, is good for
bamboo furniture.

A4HAVANA'S GATES
InSur6ent Attack on Guanaba-
Goa Serious.
SPANS GARRISON KILLED.
They Left the Fort to Defend the
Town and Not Ono Escaped
The Insurgents Entered
the Town and Burned
Many Houses.

fho iDsurgent attack on Guanabacoa, on
the outskirts Of Havana, on Tuesday night
last, was a much more serious affair than at
first stated. According to insurgents ac-
counts, Guanabacoa was attacked stimuli
taneously at several points at 10. 30 o'clock
Tuesday night. while another insurgent force
fred upon the Spanish outposts at Bucar-
anas, on the coast. The garrison OF the fort,
it Is added, left that place to resist the at
tack on the town, but was ambuscaded be-
tween stone walls and farm fences by about
300 insurgents and. in spite Of the gallant
defense made, all the Spaniards were killed.
The exact number OF soldiers slain Is not
known. 1t is admitted that q number OF
insurgents were also killed, but here again
the number Is not stated.
The insurgents broke the Spanish picket
lines, entered the city and set fire to large
number OF houses In Aguacate and Palo
Blanco streets hese thoroughfares, as a
rule, contained private residences or cheap
buildings occupied by refugees. Only one
store of Importance was burned, 1t is said,
although the insurgents made many efforts
to set fire to other stores.
The local authorities are doing everything
possible to conceal the real facts In the caso
but there is no doubt that they have received
a bad scare and that the insurgents have
demonstrated that 1t would not be a very
difficult matter, In spite OF the reports Of the
military commanders, to create just such
another 'scare" to say the least, In the city
of Havana ITSELF
Private advices from Santiago de CutA
say that the Province OF Puerto Principe has
been exceedingly quiet since the last engage
ment OF General Casteilanos with the COM
bined insurgent forces of Gomez and CAL

be divided. Garcia is reported to be return
Ing eastward, while Gomez Is moving west
to reinvade the Province OF Santa Clara.
The latest advices indicate that Gomez
crossed the trocha between Jucaro and
Moron when the military train there was
dynamted recently.
Official dispatches dated November % say
that the local Spanish guerrillas II Rene
dios and Calbarien, mlstaking each other for
insurgents. have had serious encounter,
