by midnight rs men were there. An
hour later five more had arrived. They
waited another hour; then, as only
three more had come. the judge de-
cided that il was time for action. Thir-
ty-threc men against hundred What
could they hope 10 do?
No time was allowed for thinking
out such problems, however, and the de-
termined band passed silently out into
the darkness. Not word was spoken
except by the leader, and like moving
shadows they advanced slowly down
the hill towards the camp of Capt.
Eddy. There were faint streaks #
light in the eastern sky when they
halted and crept forward on their
hands and knees to within few yards
of Tarleton's men. Then, at a signal
from the leader, they all arose and
stood together, waiting for the final
word. The gray of the dawn had al
ready appeared. They could discern the
forms of the guards as they paced back
and forth near the camp, and the out.
lines of the tents.
"All ready" said the judge, in low
voice. "Now, then!"
A shout from the united band broke
upon the stiffness of the early morning
There was n swift rush forward and
the calls and cries were redoubled. To
the startled band in the camp it seemed
as IL bowling enemies were on every
side of them. They leaped to their feet
and made rush for their guns. Before
these could be reached, however, a vol.
ley rang out. The startled men nc
longer sought their gums. They darted
into the woods in every direction, intent
now only upon their own safety. But
not all went. There were cries and
groans, and many fell TO the ground.
"Are you hit, Tom?" said John. TIL,
boys had been startled with the others
and, crouching low, had started TO run
from the camp
"No," replied Tom. "Are you?"
"No. Drop TO the ground. Pretend
you're hit. Maybe we can get away
Quick. Lie on your face" And in a
moment both fell PROSTATE on the
ground and lay still. Over them swept
pursuers and pursued. Others lay on
the ground close by, but with them
there was no deceit. Some were groan-
ing or crying, some would never speak
again. Above all sounded the shouts
of the soldiers farther and farther away
For half an hour the boys did not
move, even TO raise their heads. Some
one might be watching, and the slight
est sign might mean for them real
not feigned death. But at last Tom
heard party approaching. Slowly he
turned his head. Yes, there they were
dozen at least, and he thought they
wore no uniforms. 1t must be that the
attacking party were now returning
So thought Tom, and suddenly standing
upright, he called 10 his companions:
Come on, John. we're all right now
They've driven the tories off and were
among friends again"
Suddenly he stopped and looked In

Washington, June 2.-Sultan Abdul
Hamid has changed his mind and James
b. Angel will go to Turkey as United
States minister. The Information

tan had withdrawn his objections to
President Angel. principally through
the efforts of Minister Terrell, who from
the first has made strong efforts to-
disabuse the minds OF the Turkish au-
thorities OF prejudice against DIR.
Angell IL is learned that the principal
complaint of the porte against DIR.
Angel was based on an erroneous idea
OF the Congregational church, OF which
the porte understood DR.. Angel was
n member
Tie representations made TO the
Turkish government were that the Con-
gregationalists were poitico-religious
body. likened by the Turks 60 the
Jesuits. and had designs on the well
fare Of the sultan's empire.
The sultan was therefore advised 20
object TO receiving as the representative
of friendly foreign power n man who
was member Of and in sympathy
with, II not actually concerned in,
body that was working against his i'm
tercsts. This and the other objections
were explained away by DIR. Angel. and
Turkey is now willing 10 welcome him
as Turkish minister.

Commercial Congress.

Philadelphia, June 3.--The Pennsyl-
vania railroad train bearing the presi-
dental party from Washington arrived
at Broad street station at 1903 o'clock
in the morning. Quite crowd had
gathered in and around the station, and
when the president walked from the
train on the arm of Mayor Warwick
TO the carriage awaiting him, his head
was almost continuously uncovered in
response to the hearty greeting ac-
corded him. The members of the party
were taken in charge by committees
assigned for the purpose, and the pres
ident was driven directly 10 Horticul-
tural hall, where the American Medical

WHEN PETER SANG.

When Peter sang the rafters rang.
He made the great church reel
His voice Il rang clarion clang.
or like a cannon's peal.
Yes, Peter made the rafters ring
And never curhed HIS tongue;
Albeit Peter could not sing.
Yet Peter always sung.
An, wide did hc HIS wi.n voice fling
Promiscuous and free
Despite the fact he could 10. sing,
Why, all the more sang he.
With clamorous clang
And resonant bang
His thunders round he flung;
4 He could not sing
One single thing
Yet Peter always sung.
The choir sang loud and all the crowd
Took up the holy strain:
But Peters bawl rose over all
Tempestuously plain.
The organ roared and madly poured
Its music food around.
But Peter drowned its anthem loud
In cataracts OF sound.
The people hushed. tho choir grew still
Still grew the organs tone.
Then Peters voice rose loud and shrill
For Peter sang alone.
His clamorous shout
Had drowned them out
anu SlieNccu every lOnEuts
k He could not sing
One single thing;
Yet Peter always sung.
When Peter died tho people cried,
For Peter he was good,
Although his voice produced a noise
Not easily witnstood.
Though many cried when Peter died
And gained his golden Tyre,
They nursed a heartfelt sympathy
For Heavens augmented choir
They knew whcreer his soul might be
Loud would his accents ring,
Hold sing through all eternity
The songs he could not sing.
The Heavenly choir
He'd make perspire
And Heavenly arches ring;
Though he can't sing
One single thing
Forevermore he'll sing.

Memhers Of concreas Talk.

Washington, Dec. Members of
congress are unusually slow in putting
In their appearance here for the regu-
lar session, which convenes next Mon
day. Up to this time there have been
scarcely more than half dozen ar
ever, IL is expected the rush will be-
gin. and that every attendant will be
in his place on the opening. Few of
the leaders of either house are here
yet. This is especially so of Repub-
licans. Neither Speaker Reed nor Mr.
Dingley, the floor leader, will reach
Washington until Sunday or Monday
next.
With the exception of pronounced
and radical pro and anti-Cuban con
gressmen, the members of both
houses, as rule, seem to be holding
their judgments in allegiance until
they ascertain from official sources ex-
actly what the situation is as to Cuba.
In the matter of the currency, it
seems already established that the
Democrats and their free silver allies
will oppose stubbornly anything the
majority is likely to propose, and the
fact that the opposition in the senate
seems 'insurmountable inclines many
of the Republican members of the
house to the opinion that it would be
wise not to attempt any Legislation
whatever.

STARVATION FIGURES.
weyIor Responsible for Nearly One MIL
lion Deaths.


New York, Nov 3O-The World
figures of Cubas starvation were tim
idly moderate. They showed the dealt
of only 200, 600. Bnt every painful fac
underneath tends to prove them nearly
double that number.
When the grim returns are all In II
is now almost certain that this Cuban
massacre OF the innocents will reach
400, 600 And this awful number does
not include those killed In battle or
the thousands and thousands of women
and children who have died OF expo
sure, disease and massacre in the
swamps. 10 now seems certain that
more than half a million people, for
the most part loyal subjects Of Spain,
have been killed by Spanish war in
Cuba.
A weeks trip through the provinces
of Havana, Matanzas and Santa Clara
has tended 10 make moderate this tre-
mendous extreme figures The figures
OF Spanish official reports show but a
part of the mortality. They only give
the number buried in consecreted
ground-they do not give that fully.
And yet, these official, ultra-Spanish
reports of burial permits issued admit
that in the province of Santa Clara
there have died and been buried since
Weyler's fiat, II ,s47 persons.
The number of people for whose ex-
istence Weyler is directly responsible
is 1856, 1872 in Santa Clara province, and
of these he has killed s6,216, or over
one-half of them.
Santa Clara has so far been by far
the least destitute of the province. 1t
has many cattle and not very thick
population. Between its SO per cent
dead to Pinar del Rio, admitted, are
the provinces of Matanzas and Ha-
vana, within go and 20 per cent NOR
tality, respectively, These percentages
are established now by the actual fig
ures in some thirty cities and towns.
Applied to the denser population of
their respective provinces the total
deaths since Weylers "Bando' will
foot up nearly a million.
