Phoenixviile. Pa, yesterday. after two
weeks absence. and endeavored to
smooth over the dissension among his
men, who have taken steps 10 bring about
his removal FROM the service. The MEM
bers of the battery showed no inclination
TO recede from their posi- ion.
Capt. Waters emphaticalIy informed
them that every man who refused TO
withdraw his name from the petition ask
ing for their captains dismissal would
be court rt-mar:ialed. Nevertheless. the
men are determined to go right ahead
with their fight They are acting under
the advice of two of the ablest attorneys

Wait for Your DOG.

(From the New York Commercial Advertiser.)
A lover Of dogs can witness nothing
more pftiful than the distress Of dog
separated from his master In the crowded
streets of large city. The dog shows
he is lost: his actions portray faithfully
the perturbed state of his mind. He runs
hurriedly here and there. stopping at in
teryals and listening for the familiar
whistle or voice Then comes along the
street arab and the customary half
brick Shortly afterward there is the usu-
al subject for the familiar headline: An
other mad dog" The dog wasn't mad:
he was only lost. If owners Of dogs. who
take those same dogs cut into the crowd
ed streets would only remember that the
sarest way .to.find, lost dog Is to stand
still and let the dog find him, there would
be fewer lost dogs and fewer mad-dog
stories for space-writers to sharpen their
pencils on. A lost dog invariably haunts
the spot where he last saw his master,
returning again and again to that spot.

Taking the Matter In Hi. own Hand

(From the Detroit Free Press)
The boy looked very much grieved. He
had vainly endeavored to explain to his
parents that the fight for which he was
being reproved was entirely due to the
aggressiveness OF the other youngster
He felt that instead of being a proper
subject for rebuke, he was entitled to
some apology for being discovered and led
home before he had time to complete the
enterprise upon which he had embarked.
Now you must go and shake hands
with him." said his aunt. while his young
er brother put his hands over his mouth
to conceal a grin.

Capt. Maximilian Luna. who was KILL
ed in the fight with the Spanish near San
tiago. Cuba. yesterday. was son Of Hon.
gate in Congress- from that Territory
about fifteen years ago.
Delegate FERGUSON. of New Mexico.
says that Capt. Luna was one Of the
most promising young men Of the South
west. He was twenty-five years old
and had been married only a few months
ago.
When war was declared with Spain
Capt. Luna and other Americans of Span
ish descent in New Mexico. were among
the first to enlist Mr.. FERGUSON says
that Capt. Luna smarted under insinua-
tions that the Americans of his race and
lineage were not loyal to the Stars and
Stripes. Capt. Luna regarded the per-
sissent refusal to admit New Mexico to
Statehood as reproach to himself and
to his people. 1t had been said in the
halls of Congress that the Territory was
not fit for Statehood. because a large
proportion of the population was of Span
ish blood.
Capt. Luna raised company of cow
boys and entered Roosevelt's regiment.
He was determined to rindicate his race
from the implied aspersion upon its pa
triotism. and Mr.. FERGUSON says he has
no doubt that when the details of the
fight are received 1t will be shown that
Capt. Luna went to the front with all
the ardor of brave American deter
mined TO give his life, if necessary. to
remove the stigma placed upon himself
and the people of his race.
He was born and reared under the Stars
and Stripes. and was finely educated

Many of the regiments at Camp Aiger

cartridges were issued. and all day long
the woods rang with the rattle of thou

The men are rapidly becoming aecus-
toned to firing and their work grows bet
ter each day. The Seventh Illinois had
an interesting struggle all afternoon
The First Battalion was sent out two
hours ahead of the rest of the regiment

Rifle pits were dug and other precautions
taken. The Second and Third Battalions

struggle.
The cavalry troops are doing splendid
work although Troop made a little
break yesterday and allowed itself to be
captured by the Pennsylvania brigade.
General Graham has complimented the
troopers, and they will hardy allow them.
selves to get into the hands Of the enemy
again.
The pile of missing letters addressed to
the Sixty-fifth New York. found at the
rear of the Falls Church postoffice. is still
causing no little excitement. Col. Welch
has demanded an investigation by the
Postoffice authorities. The letters had
all been opened and thrown into an ash
pile where they were found. AS the
troops have only recently been paid on
it is probable that the fetters We're sup
posed TO contain money.
Discipline is growing more strict in the
various regiments. The hope of getting
to the front has changed the old easygo-
ing routine of camp life and the boys are
now stern and rigid in observing military
rules.
Lieut.. c. =. Ames. of the Seventh Ohio.
will be tried by court-martial on Monday
for being absent without ;eave, disobedi-
erce of orders and conduct unbecoming
