POINT LOOKOUT. st. Mary's Co., Md,
August ~. 1898.
Down here at Point Lookout, the most
southern extremity of Maryland. where the
Potomac river joins the Chesapeake, there
have been many jolly campers this sum-
mer, and 1t is safe to say that there are
no Westinghouse having a better time
than the sojourners at this picturesque
spot. During all the sitting heat in the
city cool breezes from the bay have been
blowing here, and the campers have been
busy with bathing. rowing. sailing, auoits,
other delights.
One of the most contented and jolHest
crowds at Point Lookout was the party
comprising Camp Chesapeake" which
has Just finished a two weeks out
pine woods, little distance removed from
| the light house. and the ground upon which
most of the other camps are pitched. The
members of the camp were Mr.. E. s Pot

Shirley Potter, Miss Sue Gardner, Mr.

VIII Boyd or Lehigh University and @. C..
! with the duties of camp life and a round
OF pleasures, while the evenings were spent
around the big beach camp fires in social
intercourse, singing and instrumental mu-
sic.
Few campers at Point Lookout can boast
of more enjoyable time than the "Chesa-
peake Club" They have had a hand In
everything interesting going on down here,
and have made a merry party, indeed. The
Chesapeake Club consists of J. R. Barry,
T. F. Barry, H. W. Barry, J. NJ Barry,

LITTLE HOPE OF RESCUE
Pittston Mine Still Caving and Re-
lief Work Is Hazardous.
Props Which Have Been Placed In
the Vein Are Being Forced
Out of PMce.

WilkesbaTre, Pa, June 29.-The situation
at the scene of the PIttstun disaster remains
practically unchanged tonight The CON-
paDy Is making every possible effort TO reach
the victims, but there is absolutely no hope
that any OF them will be recovered alive.
The friends and relatives or the eDtonDed
men haunted day and night the head OF the
SHAFT, hoping against hope that some Cf
the rescuinG party may bring up Il word
of cheer. But as one gang after another
reaches the surface answers the ca ger ques-
tions with only sad shake or the head,
then hope dies out again and despair sets
upon the coun,cnances OF the unhappy ones
The rescuing party that went INTO the
shaft this morning returned at . O'Clock
this evening, and as they jumped from the
carriage the foreman WIS heard 10 say:
NO hope of rescue as yet.''
Henry Mcmillan, inside foreman OF the
Barnum mIDe, who went into the pit this
afternoon To ma ke Il careful survey, says
that III his belief the caving will continue
more or less fora week. The ia His immense
and the progress Of the diggers wheD they
do commence To dig, will GepeDd entirely
on The sulidity OF the fall.
When it became known tonight that it
was more than probable that the men
would never be found. the excitement was
renewed. The rescuing party that came
out of the shaft at 10 O'Clock reported
that the situation is worse than at any
time today. The workings are crushing
nearer the foot OF the shaft and the out
look is very sorrOwful.
At 1918 O'Clock tonight the props and
pillars i'll the shaft tare being forced ont Of
place and no progress can be made until
this difficulty can be averted Monster
pumps were lowered and will be set as
near rs possible to the scene of difficulty.
but there is no telling what the pumps will

TOO INHUMAN FOR BELIEF.

1t is to be hoped that the report from Cuba
to the effect that the rcvoutioDists have
sent circulars into the city of Havana warn
ing the people to take refuge in places of
by dynamite, is fabrication. The alleged
manifesto tells those that can to leave the
constant vigilance proper to those who find
themselves next to mine loaded TO the ut
most" 1t is well nigh inconceivable that
men who appeal to the sympathies of man
kind against the cruelties practiced by the
expressed in that proclamation, with regard
to a city full of women and children and
other non-combatants. The Cuban in
surgents could take no surer means to
aliennte the sympathy of everybody and
arouse against themselves the detestation
of all civilized people. The destruction OF
fortificatioDs by mines, and even the dcmoli-
ton of a public building, is permissible in
civilized warfare, but such wholesale, in
and business houses, us inferab bic from the
alleged circular. is a species of fighting too
much akin to the piratical, not to be un-
equivocally and universally condemned.
Even the dissemination of such a cir
cular is a species Of refined cruelty, which

THE BATTLE AT CHICAGO.

in tue habit OF consigning everybody that
does not agree with his opinions to the
place which Ingersoll says does not exist,
he might possibly enforce his so-called
arguments with an occasional jab OF his
favorite weapon in which case ambulances
and surgeons would be eminently in order.
On the whole, 1t presages rather ominously,
this warlike preparation of surgical staff
with all their tools, so to speak 1t may
be simply humane precaution on the
part of tie sergeant-atarms OF the conven-
ton. He may anticipate such rise in the
temperature OF the convention hall from
the friction OF the two contending metals
as to have a serious effect upon some Of
the delegates. 1t would be too bad
il any Of the brethren should leave Chicago
less able-bodied than they were upon
their arrival on the floor OF the conven-
tiou.

Announcement has been made that in
addition to the usual and customary ad-

the great Democratic gathering at Chicago
is to be favored with full staff of ply

aud all the other paraphernalia of a hos

gentlemen of the medical profession
will be ready for everything. from
giving a delegate a dose of aromatic spirits
OF ammonia to saving off q stray
leg or arm. Just why, at this con-
veution, such particular precautions should
be taken, is somewhat of conundrum,
unless it he that the battle between the
silver and gold men is expected to be
something more tangible than simply one
of words.

The insurgent leaders must know that

Weyler to counter proclamation pro-

instance, imprisoned within the walls o.

cruel than this, cannot well be ina g;ned.
So long as the Cuban Insurgents confine
themselves to permissible and generally
recognized modes of warfare. they will
have the sympathy. and, as far as pos
sible, the aid of the people of the United
States. If. however, they were to resort
to such means OF attack as are above
indicated, and put helpless women and
children in jeopardy, they would at once
forfeit all respect, and execration would
take the place of encouragement. Most
people will for the present prefer to be-
lieve that the alleged circular emanated
from Spanish sources, with a view of
bringing the insurgents and their cause into
disrepute, and a denial of the inbuman
plan should be at once forthcoming from
those authorized to speak for the Cuban
republic.

A reference to the state
ment below will show that
the circulation sworn to is a
bona fide one.
1t is easily possible for a
newspaper with an elastic
conscience to swell its legit-

mousIy, in order to deceive
advertisers, by sending out
thousands of papers to
news stands, which are re-
turnable, and which are in
fact returned, but neverthe-
less are included in what
purports to be an honest
statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers,
however. Judge by results,
and bogus circulation don't
give them.
The family circulation of
The Times is many thou
sands in excess of any other
Washington paper and is
believed to be fully two
times that of its afternoon
contemporary.
