/ visited the hospital daily while / had
men there, and | frequently found the
tents unfoored, the cots crowded so close
together that one could not pass be-
tween. The tents were so leaky that
when 1T was raining the men in the hos
pital had 70 be covered with ponchos
and rubber blankets to be protected from
drenching.
DR.. Griffith was in charge of the hos
pital and after visiting all the others l
concluded that this was the best con-
Quoted one at the park. DIR. Griffith and
his assistants were doing all they could
with the means at hand
This Objectionable condition of af-
fairs lasted eight or ten weeks. The
nursing was in many eases Objectionable,
but l came to the conclusion that this
was a necessary evil"
Colonel Caffee said that this regiment
received not only not enough barrels to
boil the drinking water, but not even
enough to haul it the four miles neces-
sary, despite acquisitions made.
SUPPLIES NOT RECEIVED YET.
When we could not get men in the
division hospital on account of its over
crowding,' SAID Colonel Caffee, I'VE had
requisition for it and they were returned
with this endorsement from the chief
surgeon of the corps:
Medicines are issued only to men in
division hospital and not to those in
quarters
In my opinion it was great mistake
to do away with the regimental hos
pitas. But had the division hospitals
at Chickamauga been anything like the
one here at Camp Hamilton there would
have been no fault to find"
Colonel Thomas j. Smith. Third Ken
lucky, said his regiment was not equip
ped with clothing for three weeks after
its arrival at Chickamauga, nor with
arms for a month.
He had no complaint, however to
make, as he thought everything posi-
BILE had been done to supply them.
Lieutenant Colonel ID. d. Mitchell,
First Territorial, testified that although
the regiment was mustered into service
the middle of July it did not receive it's
arms until three weeks ago. 1t has not
yet received all it's clothing. The men
suffered without blankets.
They have told us every day for ten
days." said Colonel Mitchell that our
stoves would be here tomorrow, but they
have not come yet"

the French Embassy at st. Petersburg
formed many close associations there,
and who believed after his return that
by furnishing Russia with Frances mil
itary secrets he could promote the alli-
ance between the two countries. It is
quite possible that Germany got hold
of these secrets from Russia. Indeed,
it is believed that q compact formerly
existed between Germany and Russia
for the exchange of military secrets
which they obtained concerning foreign
Powers. But Germany had no direct
dealings either with ex-Captain Drey-
fus or with the General in question, and
thus has every reason to resent the in
PRODUCTION of it's name and the impugn-
ing of it's honor by the chiefs Of the
French headquarters staff during the
Zola trial. Perhaps it is in consequence
of this that the Emperor is manifesting
all of sudden SO much friendship and
goodwill to Great Britain and has aban-
doned his long projected plan of visiting
the Holy Land this spring He had set
his heart on this tour, and would GER
tainly not have abandoned it after the
Sultan had already spent millions Of dol
lars in preparations to welcome him had
there not been some very important
matters, indeed, to keep him at Berlin.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA.
Entrance to, the Bay Picturesque
and Formidable.

At first sight of the southern coast of
Cuba in the province of Santiago de
Cuba, one wonders where all the boast
ed beauty of the island lies. One sees
a barren, rocky wall of coral forma-
ton, perforated and undermined by
the continual washing of the sea. and
surrounded by receding hills, which ap-
pear at some distance away to be void
of vegetation. A nearer view shows
the rocks to be placed in series of
steps, each perhaps ten feet high. They
rise abruptly from the waters edge
and form a foundation for the hills,
which are now seen to be covered by
forests Of valuable trees and dense
underbrush.
Various kinds Of cacti and palms are
distinguished; the royal palm, with it's
smooth, white bark and it's heavy green
top swaying in the breezes, being most
in evidence. In many places there are
openings in the rocks, which extend
from the water to the summit of the
hills, and form the deep and narrow
canyons leading to the narrow valleys.
Often in an opening between the hills
one can see, with a glass, beautiful
valleys some five or six miles inland.

A YOUNG wOMAN's RusE.
Which Led to an Innocent Display
of Her Fathers ArtilIerv.

Colonel l. N. Walker is the authority
for story which, as he says. is a very
proper one for the parlor and one which
contains several suggestions of value
10 young ladies who may occasionally
nnd themselves in position requiring
the use of diplomacy and tact. This
story AYERS that in a certain place not
very far away, and at time not very
long ago, there was a young man who
came from distant city on a visit to
one of his friends, another young man
who stood high in the esteem of the
community. The visiting youth was
seriously afflicted with the ambition of
meeting some nice young lady of cult
ure and refinement who might be mat
rlmonially inclined, and when his
accommodating friend told him Of a
very handsome maiden of his acquaint-
ance his soul was fired with ardor and
he resolved to pursue his suit with en-
ergy. This laudable purpose was
strengthened perceptibly by an inciden-
tai recital on the part of his friend of
the old gentleman's worldly possessions,
and the young man was on tenter-
hooks until he obtained an introduce
ton. The Introduction observed, he
lost no time, but called the next even
ing. The events Of that memorable
evening abide with him to the present
day.
1t seems the pair were alone in the
parlor for something like half an hour
when the ardent youth threw discretion
to the wind and essayed a feat of oscu-
lation that was Indignantly resented.
Whether he received a blow Of the
hand upon his features is mere mat
ter Of speculation, but it was quite evil
dent that there was some stamping of
a dainty foot and a darting fire from
indignant eyes, for the young man was
given thoroughly to unG arstand that if
he did it again the p; -arent
would be informed. But ttl~ unrust fell
on needless ears, for no sooner was it
made than the bold suitor once more
attempted his trick. Then war ensued
inStanter. Out of the room swept the
young lady and the young man was left
to cogitate, but only for brief space.
In the next room was the paternal
parent, a man who loved sporting
above almost everything else, and when
his daughter entered he was examining
a double barreled shotgun in fond
and doting manner. Said his daughter
to him: Papa, there is a young man in
the parlor who, like yourself, is much
interested in hunting. wish you would
meet him. You might take your new
gun in with you, for I know he would
greatly admire the pattern" Nothing
could suit the old gentleman better
than this, so he marched into the par
lor expecting to receive the enthusias-
| tic praises of a true sport. But in
this expectation he was doomed to sad
disappointment. The young man saw
him coming and saw the gun also. Exit
by the door was impossible and the
window offered the only hope for es-
cape, so out he jumped with all his
might and down the street went flying
as fast as his aroused fears for life
could make him. The old gentleman
gazed on this strange scene with be-
wildermnemt but his daughter had OBJ
tanned a point of vantage where she
gloried recklessly in the success Of her
! ingenious contriving. - indianapolis

The Lion Has the Mumps.

Nineteen n-mOnths-o lion Mckinley,
at the Zoo, woke up Christmas morn
ing only to find his sock full of sick

animation of the tawny laddybuck
could come to no other conclusion than
that the young lion had a sudden and
we'll developed case Of the mumps. I'm

to the tune of 100 degrees Mac was
a sight-a sight to wiring soberest pity

His chops were swollen like those of
the kid in "a Swell Affair" The tender
way he rested that crippled face on a
crooked-up paw, while shedding tears

produced wild hilarity in plenty. But
whether or no Mac will ever smile
again is question.
II hope to Merry Christmas that the
swell will go down instead OF up!" said
DR.. Stephan as he viewed and studied
hard upon the case. 'If It really is
what I've heard called the lion mumps'
we're in for one OF the rockiest times
the Zoo has ever known. Macs sister,
Queen, has been right in with him all
the time, but doesn't show a trace of

CATS IN A PALACE.
Queen Marguerite Of Italy Has Two
Beautiful Angora Cats.

The parents of "Pussinella" had been
! brought from Bagdad by the Prince Of
Naples to his mother, the good and
beautiful Queen Marguerite of Italy.
And a most original gift it was; for
these two cats, though very beautiful,
were as wild and ferocious as young
tigers, and not at all disposed to take
kindly to captivity, though their prison
was a royal palace, and their keeper
the gentlest and loveliest of women.
When the cage in which they had trav-
eled SO far was opened, they were moth
ing daunted at finding themselves at
court and right in the presence of roy
atty, but Kissed and raised their backs,
and showed their displeasure in the
most decided way. The King and
Queen and many of the ladies even got
down on their knees and made all sorts
of OVertures of peace; but it was of no
use; the strangers were not to be ca
joled into even a semblance Of good
will, and at last were carried off, still
growing and protesting, to the Queens
own apartments, which were for the
future to be their home.
Now you might certainly think they
would be we'll content, but not so; they
longed for the freedom of their native
Z
and Queen themselves, and had ruled
right royalty over a mighty kingdom.
Who knows?
In time they became accustomed to
the Queen, and submitted without pro-
test to her presence. 1t is seldom that
kindness and gentleness do not over
come the widest heart. But with the
King they We're ever the same as at
fret hpU o1 1xx-ax xx1o nd orlo
and raised quite a rebellion against his
| coming into any room where they might
! be.
| After a while two little kittens came
to make them feel more at home. Pus-
| sinella was one of these and, as you
see, first opened her eyes in the Queens s
own bedroom, surrounded by every
| mark of respect and royalty. Is it
strange that her heart sWeIled with
pride and coldness toward the less ia
vored world; that the majestic wave
of her tail showed consciousness Of
superiority; that she demanded and ac-
cepted as simply her right the best to
be had? Remember, she is only a cat !:
might not many little boy or girl act
in a way that was quite as unreason-
able?
| Pussinella was the prettier of the two
kittens; little, soft, pure white bali,
with long, silky hair, beautiful, big
gray eyes, and a tail not like any or
| binary cat-no, indeed. Pussinella' s
tail is as big as the end of boa, and Of
a soft dove color; and she has also one
spot of the same pretty gray right in
the middle of her back. This is now
about the size of a 50cent piece, but
when she was little of course the spot
was little, and a source of great annoy
ance to vain Pussinella, who spent
much time licking and licking and lick
ing with her little pink tongue, trying
/ to wash off what she thought a blemish

| stayed nevertheless, and it is a very
/ pretty spot, indeed.-St. Nicholas.

Dreyfus had never done any spyine on
behalf of Germany. 1t is known that
even William himself pledged his word
to this effect to M. Casimir- -Perier, who
was President of the French Republic at
the time of the Dreyfus court martial.
Yet, in spite Of this, the chiefs Of the
French headquarters staff, notably Gen.
eral De Boisdeffre. General De Pellieux
and General Billot, the Minister of War,
did not hesitate to insist during the Zola
trial that the treachery of Dreyfus had
been perpetrated on behalf Of the Ger
man War Department.: that is to say,
they gave the lie direct to Emperor
William, to his Chancellor and to his
Minister of Foreign Affairs. 1t is said
that demands for explanations, tending
in the direction of an ultimatum. have
already been addressed by the German
Government to that Of France and that
if the matter is not pressed just now it
is because the Emperor wishes to see
whether the Supreme Court of Appeals
will not quash the decree which brought
the Zola trial to a close, and annul the
entire proceedings as illegal.
A FRANCO-GERMAN WAR.
Unless this is done a war between
Germany and France is by no means i'm
probable. 1t is topic of general con-
versation in the Government circles at
Berlin and among military men who
consider that Germany has been shame
fully insulted and falsely accused by the
heads Of the French army-falsely, be-
cause it is pretty we'll known through
out Europe that the spying for which
Dreyfus was punished was done not for
Germany, but for Russia. and that the
persons who did the spying was not ex-
Captain Dreyfus, but an officer who is
now one Of the principal commanders
Of the French army, who during his
term Of service as Military Attache to
