CUBAN HOSPITALS.
The Great Lack of the Insurgents Is
 Surgical Care

On account of the t~ctics employed by the Cuban forces and the division made in them, together with the fact that small bands often operate alone, there IS not sufficient number of doctors to properly attend to the wounded. One doctor, and in some cases two, are as- signed to an entire division. These doc tors appoint assistants from the men in the ranks, who, after little instruc- tlon, are given few bandages, cotton, carbolic acid, quinine, etc, and assigned to the various regiments in the division. These men are expected to give the first aid to the wounded and administer such medicines as they may have when they are required, but even then it often happens that they are not present when the men are wounded, and it is neces- Sary to take them many miles on horse back, or in hammocks hung on long pole before their wounds are dressed. Owing to this delay small wounds often prove very serious. After their wounds are attended to they are taken as soon as practicable to one of the many small hospitals in the woods, where they are given every attention possible under the circumstances.
 These hospitals are nothing more than deserted country houses, with beds made by driving forked sticks into the ground, two at the head ana TWO at the foot; a heavy stick is then laid in each pair of the works, and thin sticks, laid lengthwise of the bed. rest on these. The frame is then covered with banana leaves and, if possible to procure it, sheet completes the bed. These hospitals are in charge of practicante, but under the general su- pervision of the doctor, who visits them as often as possible; and in some cases, after a heavy engagement, a doctor or several doctors are assigned to them, and remain as long as their services are required. As soon as a new pa tient arrives he is placed on a new bed, as the same bed is never used twice, and is given an attendant to do his cooking and attend to his wants.
 These hospitals are well supplied with bandages and medicine, and the prefect Is required to keep them supplied with vegetables, sugar, milk, etc. The gen. eral in whose division they are fur nishes meat, and the country people bring chickens eggs and any little dainties they may have. AS the wounds are mostly from Mauser balls, few am- putations are necessary, and the pa tients recover rapidly; but when the wounds are from Remingtons with the ordinary lead ball, or the lead ball with a thin brass jacket Explosive balD, they often prove fatal, and if the pa- tient recovers, the Improvement is slow Century for June

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 3.-A Washington special to the Herald says: Unless the war revenue bill shall be unex- pectedly delayed in the Senate the Ha- waiian annexation resolution will be taken up in the House of Representa- tives next Tuesday
 This is the present understanding be- tween Chairman Hit of the Commit tee of Foreign Affairs and Speaker Reed. It is not yet certain whether 1t will be brought up under a special order or be called up under the rule which provides that after the House has considered the business of commit tees for one hour it shall be in order for a member to move the eonsidera- ton of any bill which has been pre- viously reported from the committee of the whole.
 No agreement has yet been made as to the length of the debate. The an- nexationists wish to have as little talk as possible and they hope to reach a. vote after two days of speech making. If some arrangement as to the length of debate cannot be made by unani- nous consent. a special order will be reported from the Committee on Rules to limit the debate. -....
 While the House Is talking on Hawaii the. conferees on the war revenue bill will be at work and it Is expected they will reach an agreement by the time the resolution shall have passed the House.
 When this conference report be ois- posed of by both houses there will be nothing more to hold Congress in ses- sion but the remaining appropriation bills and the. action of the Senate on the Hawaiian resolution. It is expected to accelerate the action of the Senate by concentrating the attention of the public on that body.

Where Marriage Is a Lottery

That marriage is lottery is not merely
figure of speech In the province Of smolensk,
Russia; 1t is an actual fact. There four
times every year a lottery is drawn, the
capital prize being young country girl
with sometimes good dowry in sheep and
farm tools, with also perpetual rent Of a
farm thrown In. The price OF a ticket is a
ruble, or about so cents. At single draw
ing 5000 tickets are sold He who is fortu-
nate enough to draw the lucky ticket has
this alternative-he may marry the girl if
she pleases him, also gaining thereby 5000
rubles $4,000 in addition to whatever the
girl brings with her as dowry, or If the
"prize" in question does not please him,
he can turn the ticket over to a friend.
But in so doing the winner loses his rights
to the dowry which belongs to the girl.
He has, however, another choice. The
prize" sometimes refuses to wed the
winner. In that case they divide the 5000
rubles, and must regard each other as
strangers until three months have passed
and the time for the next lottery comes
around again. Just now the lottery seems
to be very popular. for the same couple
has for the third time divided the 5000
rubles and separated. The capital prize
is still in the market, and so is the thrice
winner.

THE sAwDUsT MAN

A simple sawdust man was he.
A clown with scarlet vest,
With a story and song and merry laugh
With never a thought for the sober half
or life, you said, when he sang and sent
The long applause through the great white
tent;
Only sawdust man-ah, mel
Only a sawdust man was he.
Only a sawdust man, know,
But a fathers heart beat warm;
And his cheeks were flushed with a deepe1
red
When forth from the dressing room was led
A beautiful child with golden hair
Who kissed her hand to the great thronn
there
The child of sawdust man-ah, me!
But sawdust man can love, maybe.
Only a sawdust man stood by
And saw with throbbng heart
slender form drawn high above
The human sea; but fathers love "a
Must wear the mask of a merry air
But his eyes ne'er left the golden hair!
And his heart stood still when she
missed-ah, me!
But only sawdust man was he.
With tender hands they bore her out,
And gently laid her down;
So white was the brow meath the goldeu
hair,
But the sawdust man must stay out thereS
For merry song must yet be sung,
Though the heart be crushed and the harp
unstrung.
He was only sawdust man-ah, mel
But sawdust man can love, maybe.

An Average Verdict

1.-THE strangest trial in which was ever
engaged was one Of my first" said a griz-
zled-headed attorney. II was counsel for
the plaintiff in suit brought to recover
damages caused by runaway horse. My
client had been knocked down and slightly
bruised, not very much, just enough to base
u lawsuit on. I had very strong case; in
fact, there was practically no defense, and
the defendant was a rich man, so asked
for $1,000, hoping to get half. Well, when
the jury came in they rendered a verdict
for the plaintiff, with damages assessed at
SS6S7. OF course the judge promptly set the
verdict aside as excessive and l had to be-
gin all over again.
the jury and asked him how in the world
they arrived at such a verdict.
Well, don't quite understand 1t my
self he said, scratching his head. We all
agreed for the plaintiff on the first vote, but
each fellow had his own ideas as to the
damage. J. was in favor of $1,000, another
fellow thought it ought to be $20OO and an
other stuck out for 500, and we were get
ting all tangled up, when one of the jury
suggested that we strike an average
But you couldn't have done that,
said 1.
That's just what we did, said the fore
man. Each man put down what he
thought right and then l added them to-
gether. l know there does seem to he
something wrong about that verdict but
hanged If I can see where 1t is! "-Chicago
