Wholesome Food Provided for
Them at Pyle's Academy by
Colonel AinscOw.
WAITING FOR THE PAYMASTER
They Will be Given a FurlOugh for
Thirty Days Before Being Finally
Mustered Out Of Service.
Enjoying Life in
City.

The Delaware soldiers are not vet fur
loughed and cannot be. it seems, until
the arrival Of the paymaster, who is daily
expected. The boys are anxious to see
him, although they are being fed and
cared for in proper manner while wait
ing.
Colonel A. L. Ainscow feeds the men
at Pyle's Cycle Academy, and it is won
derful with what little confusion this
great number Of men are fed.
There are no complaints about the
food or the manner in which it is served
to them. They are all seated around
the mess tables at one time and walters
enough are on hand to soon satisfy the
hungry multitude.
The boys say that Col. Ainscow feeds
them well, and the food is properly put
up and they are allowed to eat as much
az they wish.
Monday evening for supper they re-
ceived roast beef sliced tomatoes, pota-
toes, bread and butter and coffee.
Yesterday morning for breakfast they
received steak, sausage, potatoes, baked
and hashed brown, milk rolls and coffee.
The full number of returned soldiers
have not all turned up at the Cycle
Academy for their meals, as many of
them reside in this city and are anxious
to be with their relatives. About $50 is
the greatest number that have been fed
at one meal, although Col. Ainscow could
accommodate the entire command.
The armory presented busy scene
yesterday. A large quantity Of property,
mostly owned by members of the troops,
was unloaded at the building and un-
packed at the former quarters of the
Wilmington companies.
While this was going on, the several
companies were turning in government
property to the respective company
clerks. Each man must account for all
the property issued to him. The uni
form and hat, he is allowed to retain.
The belt, gun, sidearms, knife, fork and
tin plates and blanket must be returned,
or, If man desires, he may purchase
them. The gun, for instance, can be
bought for $40. A few may keep their
guns, but belts, sidearms and tin ware
will be the article usually bought as
mement oes of the camp life.

Never Underrate Competition.

You should never, in your efforts to
learn about your competitor, say or do
anything that will tend to cause him to
be underrated. 1t is better to appear to
your customers as being on amicable
terms than otherwise with him. If you
should casually say to them that Mr..
Blank is good business man and de-
serving OF credit for the energy and ell
terprise he displays, they would proba-
bly, set you down as broad-minded and
liberal and a conscientious man, and
this is the sort of reputation you want to
get. People will come to think by-and-
by that you are prone to Withhold credit
from yourself and they will say so.-.Shoe

District Attorney Graham, in speaking

Later in the day Mr.. Graham gave out
the following typewriter statement:
'I notice that it has been said in some
quarters that the prosecutions begun
against certain high officials were insti-
tuted because of certain political reasons.
This is without foundation in fact, for the
evidence that was submitted to me was
of such nature as to warrant the be-
ginning of the proceedings. If this evil
dence is susceptible of explanation and is
I shall be very glad; for have
no desire to seek work nor the care OF SO
important public case as this is. In
deed, if were to consult my own conve-
nience and comfort, | would far rather
close out the brief period remaining of
my term and retire without having to
bear this new annoyance and care, but
when the evidence was laid before me it
seemed to me, in the exercise of my best
judgment, that there was nothing for me
to do but to have it presented to court

WAS AT GUANTANAMO.
George b. Cambbell, This City, Tells
of the First Landing Oh
Cuban Soil.

George B. Campbell, Of Thity-ffth
and Tatnall street, and a member OF
Company E, First Marine Battalion,
has been home several days on a fur.
Tough. Mr.. Campbell was among the
marines that first landed and planted
the Stars and Stripes on Cuban soil.
The landing, according to Mr.. Camp
BELLS account, was very exciting. The
boys undressed and took to the water
from the transport Panther when near
shore and made for the land, holding
their rifles above their heads amidst a
shower of Mauser bullets which proved
fatal to some of the marines.
The landing was made at Guantanamo,
and the boys were subjected to an irri-
tating fire from the Spanish guerillas who
regular Spanish soldiers.
The 600 marines on landing encamped
on hill and the Dons made it so hot for
them that they were forced to retreat to
the hillside.
The marines were reinforced by sey-
eral hundred Cubans. The Wilmington
boy says that the Cubans are fierce lot
of men and treacherous set, their only
desire seemed to be to cut somebody's
head off and it didn't appear to matter
whose it was. As an example of their
bloodthirstiness the marine: cited an in
cident which came under his notice.
There was finc-looking Spanish colonel
who was on his way to the marine camp
escorted by Cubans, with the avowed
intention OF surrendering himself to the
Americans and when within 100 yards
of the camp, the Cubans drew their
machetes and deliberately cut the Span
iard's head off, bringing his cap into
camp as trophey of their bloody deed.
When placed on guard duty in COM
pany with Cuban, Mr.. Campbell said
he considered it his first duty to watch
the Cuban to see that his machete wasn't
used on his neck.
Mr.. Campbell helped to bury DR..
Gibbs, who was killed during this en-
gagement and when the two sentinels
were shot and horribly mutilated by
Mauser bullets the Wilmington lad as
sisted in their burial. He says that the
Spaniards made it SO warm for them
during this funeral that two of the boys
jumped into the open grave on top OF the
corpses to escape the rain Of lead.
He said that the most trying times for
a soldier is when he is forced to lie still
and have the enemy shoot at him and
not be allowed to fire back. The fight
ing proper makes a man mad and the
ping of the flying bullets only serve to
add fuel to the flames of his passion.
spanish soldiers are tricky, "said he.
"they fasten palm leaves to their hats
and move around among the dense foli-
age, and it takes sharp eye to detect
them.'
A private in the same company as Mr..
Campbell named George Fenton shot
four of the Spaniards disguised in leaves
and received promotion for his skill.
Mr.. Campbell LETT Wilmington last
night for Brooklyn navy yard where he
is assigned te the Chicago and will soon
sail for China.
The nearest that the marine came to
being killed was having a Mauser bullet
put through his canteen.

BOYS AMONG THE MISSING
William Grady Disappears With
1856 Which His Father Told
Him to Bank.
COMPANIONS GO WITH HIM
Andrew Hickman and Charles Groves,
Jr., Leave Wilmington at the
Same Time-.POlice Have
Not as Yet Located
Them.

William Grady, aged IA years, son OF
Michael Grady, shoe dealer at Third and
King streets, disappeared from his par
ents' residence on Friday afternoon OF
last week and since then no trace has
been cleaned Of his whereabouts.
Accompanying him were Andrew
Hickman, aged IA years, Of No. 500 Wal
nut street, and Charles GROVES, aged Is
years, son of Charles Groves, Sr., candy
manufacturer, of Fourth and King
streets.
On the day mentioned young Grady
was sent to the bank to deposit $S6,
which his father had given him for that
purpose. AS the boy in doing these er-
rands frequently stayed away for an hour
or two, no attention was paid to his alb
sence until about o'clock in the even
ing.
His parents becoming alarmed, then
searched for him in his usual haunts,
but finding that he was unable to find
him notified the police department of
his sons disappearance.
On investigation they soon ascertained
that young Grady had not been at the
bank with the money and they at first
supposed that the boy may have met
with foul play.
This theory was dropped after rigid
investigation and it was then learned at
the French street station of the P, w. q
B. railroad that Grady, in company with
young Groves and Hickman, had pur-
chased tickets for Philadelphia and had
departed on the train leaving at l.37
O'Clock in the afternoon for that city.
When he purchased the tickets Grady
had displayed large roll of bills. The
police telegraphed description of the
runaway boys to the Philadelphia po-
lice, but they have not as yet been able
to secure any trace of them after they
had alighted from the train in the Quaker
City.
The parents of the runaways are con-
siderably exercised over their disappear
ance, but the supposition prevails that
they are enjoying themselves ON the
money of Grady's father and will not re-
turn until it is all spent.
In the meantime the police will not
relax their vigilance and will arrest them
on sight. Neither Hickman or Groves
had any money when they left here.
