NEW YORK, April 26.-In addition to the
distribution of food, medicine and clothing
and necessary work now being performed
by the Red Cross in relief of the suffering
people in Cuba, the organization is making
every possible preparation for responding to
call from the medical departments of the
army and navy to supplement ambulance
and hospital work in a e OF ccnfiict betw en-
the army and navy Of the United States and
Spain.
No one can foresee possible demands upon
the Red Cross in this direction. 1t is a
duty to be prepared with the money in
hand to enable it to establish hospitals of
immense capacity, to purchase ambuances
and fed eQu,Imsnts ard iie a personnel

sufficient preparation to meet the demands

originated In 1864, the organizations have
been called upon for work of great magni-

BATTLE CREEK, Neb.. Aug. l5.-(Spe-
cial.)-A gang of crippled tramps struck
this town Saturday. They were begging for
assistance. One had lost a hand. another
an arm, a third had a broken arm in a
plaster paris cast, while a fourth used
crutches. Saturday night at about u o'clock
the residence of Mrs. Fannie Maxwell was
entered by burglars, but a little house dog
frightened them away before any plumber
had been secured. An alarm was inmedi-
ately given and pursuit instituted. bu: the
burglars escaped in the darkness. Marshal
Beck was Immediately sent to Madison for
Sheriff Losey. Early Sunday morning. be-
fore the arrival OF the sheriff, one Of the
suspected gang Of tramps was arrested and
taken to the jail, where he proceeded to
strip himself, tearing his clothes 10 pieces
and pushing them out through The bars
OF the windows, swearing he would have
a new suit. On the arrival OF Sheriff Losey
with his English bloodhounds the scent was
taken up and a lively chase ensucd. a large
excited crowd following. The tramps were
finally located by the hound in the brush
on Battle creek. The sheriff had to knock one
OF them down twice before they would sur
render. All-fye in number-are now in the
Jail. The one with his arm in a cast was
taken to the local physicians, who removed
the east and found an uninjured arm and
the one using crutches discarded them.

ACT OF ENRAGeD VOLUNTEERS
Mixup and Threatened Lynching of a
Soldier Mt the Presidio-
1ovnns Involved.
sAN FRANCtsCo. Anr- 1s--Dnn rhnm

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.-Dan Thomas.
a negro crab fisherman. was wounded and
narrowly escaped lynching at the hands OF
500 Tennessee soldiers today. Two men OF
Troop b Of the regular cavalry. which at
tempted to quell the riot, were dragged from
their horses by the mob Of volunteers and
slightly injured in the tussle. The negro's
house, a block and a half from the Pre-
sidio, was almost wrecked.
Officers Of the Tennessee regiment finally
sent the men back to quarters and took the
bleeding negro to the guard house for pro-
lection.
The trouble began in a saloon. Will Davis,
a private OF Company L, First Tennessee
regiment, was drinking in the saloon. Five
or six other soldiers from different regi-
ments and the negro. Thomas, were in the
place. According to the story told by Davis
the negro approached him and asked for a
drink. Davis replied that he had no money,
whereupon the negro struck Davis In the
right eye with a set OF brass knuckles. The
two closed in a struggle until they were
separated by an Iowa private, who was in
the saloon.
When the negro found himself free he left
the saloon and went TO his home. Thither
he was followed by the soldiers, who
wrecked the house in an endeavor to get
at the colored man. A suggestion to lynch
the negro was taken up and but for the
prompt arrival of Major Cheatham the negro
would doubtless have been killed. Major
Cheatham covered the leaders with his pis-
tl and said he would kill the first man
who injured the negro. This prompt action
saved the colored man from immediate vio-
lence. but on the way to the guard house
at the Preside the negro was attacked by
Private scruggs. who struck him a terrible
blow over the head with a bludgeon. The
soldiers were Quieted with much difficulty.
General Miller is investigating the affair.
All the men engaged 1" tn riot were vol
unteers. Most of them we're Tennesseeans,
but there were a number also from the
Kansas and Iowa regiments.

Londoners Comment Upon Effect of
Mnr on National Life md Aims.


LONDON, Aug. 15.-The Times this morn
ing editorially upon the general
universal recognition OF the part which
President Mckinley has played throughout
the war between the United States and
Spain, and says: III foreign observers
might presume to have an opinion upon his
conduct, 1t would probably he that President
Mckinley has kept his finger constantly
upon the national pulse and has known how
to stimulate and direct national thought
without too markedly outrunning its move
ment.
Everything has been lone in the open,
every move has been discussed as a posi-
bility all over the United States before the
government was irrevocably committed one
way or the other and the result of the eau
ttous, tentative policy is that where he
stands at this moment the president has the
whole American people at his back.
I'VE do rot know that there can be any
higher craftsmanship for a president gov
erning under the constitution of the United
States.
1T is noteworthy that while the Spaniards,
who are usually regarded as chivalrous. ro-
mantle and medieval, have turned first to
the financial aspect of the situation, the
Americans, who are usually supposed to be
intensely practical. have as vet hardly given
a thought to the financial or economic side
Of the question. What occupies the Amer
lean people at this moment is not the cost
OF the war, the value OF their acquisitions
or the balance OF the profit and loss ac-
count, but the moral result of the struggle
and the nature of the ideas which II stimu-
lates.
Whether Organism is dead or ONLY sleep
ing, whether the smaller issues of party
are superseded by large and worthy con-
c%eptions OF national policy or only thrown
J for the time into the background, there can
be no doubt that the war has had and will
have a profound effect upon American ideas
and aims. Nc: only has IT renovated the
idea Of national unity impaired by the great
civil struggle, but it has supplied that sense
Of contact with external forces which is
probably one of the most potent influences
in favor of maintaining the national spirit.
The Antilles themselves introduce a
novel element into American life and open
up questions upon which parties may differ
greatly and worthily. This in itself is a
gain and one which was more or less con-
scieptiously sought when the war was un-
dertGken. The perilous unrest spoken of
by the New York Times was a real ma
tional evil, which sprang directly, so far as
foreigners can Judge. from the disappear
ance of clear. ineligible party issues. That
unrest. we may assume, has vanished and
been replaced by new anxieties or solicit
tudes which may become acute, but are very
unlikely TO become morbid.
Beyond the Antilles lies a more diff
cult questionable PhilipDines-and that
question does not end with the Philippines
themselves. These islands may be taken
just now as a symbol of American awaken
ing and OF the entry OF the republic upon
a new career which, Philippines or no Phil
ippines, 1t is henceforth bound to follow

When a young woman sits down and

all-iulportant subject which she should not
forget. In a day dream she may build
castles in the air with a happy home, laugh
ing children and a loving husband in the
foreground. II that moment she may be
facing death. MatTimony and motherhood
hold out no happiness 10 the young woman
who suffers from weakness and disease Of
the distinctly feminine organism. The wo-
man who suffers in this way will be a weak,
nervous, sickly, p~etulant wife, an incapable
mother and an unaruiable hostess. Not
knowing the truth, her acquaintance will
not understand that she is deserving of
pity rather than reproach.
