ing. He had not the slightest difficulty
in securing full complement and at
last accounts his regiment was encamp-
ed on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain,
exactly opposite New Orleans. In the
operations at Santiago there has been no
urgent necessity for the presence Of the
immunes, for yellow fever has not been
raging ON the hills of the southern
shore, but with the beginning of the as
sault ON Havana the immunes will be
in demand.
That Colonel Hood was fully entitled
to his commission there is not the
slightest doubt, for he is graduate of
West Point, although he did not see fit
to enter the regular army when he had
completed his course at the Military
academy. He is by profession a mining
engineer, having been graduated at the
Columbia School of Mines
After leaving West Point in the
spring of 1896 he made an extended
tour Of the south and Central America
and the West Indies, visiting Venezu-
ella, Panama, Colon, Jamaica and other
West Indian islands, and then returned
to the United States through the repub-
lic Of Mexico Previous to offering his
services to Governor Foster Of Louisiana
he was in New York prosecuting his
studies in mining engineering prepara-
tory TO going 30 South Africa, where he
has a cousin engaged in that profession
at the magnificent salary Of $50, 900 PEI
year.
Colonel Hood is six feet in height
and weighs $50 pounds and that he is @
muscular, all round athlete may be de-
termined by the fact that he played on
the West Point football team for thret
years A more rugged appearing Officer

BATTLE BURIAL OF MARINES. -
was his expert testimony concerning
the bent armor plates that fastened the
guilt on Spain. When war was declared,
he was transferred to the st. Paul, he
having requested TO be assigned to duty
under his old commander, Captain Sigs-
bee.
Il was the intention Of the navy de-
partment 20 use the st. Paul as scout
ship, but she was provided with a few
gyms Just as matter Of form. Captain
Sigsbee determined to use these guns
and waited for a chance. At last it
came. He was shopping around off the
harbor of San Juan whsp the Spanish
torpedo boat destroyer Terror aud the
cruiser Isabel came out TO eat him up
You will remember that the thrash
ing was reversed. After exchanging a
few shots the Isabel sneaked back under
the protection Of the forts The Terror
was. not fortunate enough to get away
IN time She was still nearly five miles
from the st. Paul when she saw her
mistake and concluded to let the Yankees
live, but the st. Paul steamed straight
for her and began making the water
boil all about the Spaniard.
The Terror managed TO turn tail
without injury, but as she was running
for shore 8 inch shrapnel she'll struck
her fair in the stern. For single shot
1t did terrific amount of damage Two
of her tunnels were knocked down, her
deckhouse was smashed, two engineers
were killed, and IL were injured Be-
sides this the engines were disabled, and
In making its adieu the shell punched
o big hole in the Terror bottom plates
This shot was fired at q distance Of
8, 900 yards away. The man in charge
of the gun crew was Ensign Powelson,
and the gunner was q hero Of the name

YELLOW JACK CAN'T TOUCH HOODS
REGIMENT OF IMMuNEs.

More Than One Thousand Soldiers who
May he Sent Anywhere In Fever Cursed
Cuba without Danger Of Contracting the
Dread Disease--A staiwart Commander.
Our volunteer army Is unique in
many respects, but perhaps next to
Roosevelt's rough riders its most un-
usual feature Is Colonel Hoods regi-
ment Of immunes IL is the first regi-
ment Of the kind ever organized. II
comprises 1,03S men, and every one Of
them is immune to yellow fever.
The word Immune, of course, is here
used in restricted sense, for man
who has survived an attack of smallpox
or any other disease which you may
have but once is immune to that partic-
ular malady. In the southern states,
however, where the dreaded yellow jack
overshadows all other epidemics an
immune is understood to be person
who has had yellow fever.
Colonel Duncan Norbert Hood, with
whom the idea Of an immune regiment
originated and who has raised and now
commands the organization, knows all
about yellow fever. He is a native of
New Orleans, and most of the members
of his family, including his father,
mother, grandmother and sister, have
been carried off by the disease. He him
self has lived through it and therefore
fears 1t no longer.
But Colonel Hood knows that Cuba Is
the home of yellow jack, and early in
the war he realized that even If the vol
unteers could manage to escape its raw
ages during the active campaign there
would come a time when troops would
have to be stationed at posts which had
been for years hotbeds of the disease.
1t was with this idea that he urged the
governor of Louisiana TO recruit such q
regiment. But the governor was oppos-
ed. He had promised to give the nation
al guardsmen first chance and there was
no room for the immunes
Undismayed by this obstacle Colonel
Hood went to influential friends and SO.
cured an interview with President Nc
Kinley. The chief executive enthusias-
tically indorsed Colonel Hood plan and
gave him a commission on the spot. The
president took up the matter of immune
regiments with Senator Caffery and the
war department and soon an appropriate
bill was introduced by the house mill
tary committee providing for the re-
cruiting of ten regiments of yellow
fever immunes, the maximum number
Of each regiment to be 1,03S.
In the meantime Colonel Hood re-
turned to Louisiana and began recruit

Senators Funerals

The first time any part of q deceased
senator's funeral expenses was paid out Of
public funds was on the occasion of the
death Of John Gaillard Of South Carolina
who died Feb. 26, 1926. Two other sen
ators died that year-Nicholas Van DykC
of Delaware, May 10, and Joseph McIl
vaine Of New Jersey, Aug 10. The aver
age public expense incurred ON account oi
these three deaths was sa92.47.
Within the next 22 years-from 1929 t.
I847, inclusive--27 senators died, and the
remains Of IL Of them wero inferred at the
governments expense. The average ex-
penditure In those cases was S6lS.S so.
From 1s4s to 1867, inclusive, 90 senators
died, and IS Of them were buried by the
senate at an average expenditure Of S1,'

over TO him from distance Of about 20
feet-he was In with half dozen fell

badly the patient was hurt. The young
surgeon looked over his shoulder In the

the Texas had come ashore to perform
the solemn service.
One of the bodies was that of DIR.

The marines threw themselves upon

the enemy and the other on the open
graves, but the chaplain stood erect,
continuing his solemn service The bull
lets whistled around him, but there was
no tremor in his voice, and he moved
his position only step or two to one
side. He read the service as calmly and
as reverently as though he were in the
peaceful cemetery near the church
where he once preached not far from
Pittsburg, and when he pronounced the
last words he turned calmly and went
to his place seemingly not realizing that
he had stood both in the presence of
death and in the certainty of it,

LIEUTENANT COMMANDER WAINWRIGHT ON
THE BRIDGE OF THE GLOUCESTER
30 be written history, although when
the serious minded man of facts comes
to tell of how we thrashed the Spanish
In 1898, he will probably relegate them
10 the footnotes
AS satisfying as any of these Incl
dentals is the account Of the part taken
In the naval engagement of Santiago by
the little converted yacht Gloucester.
With nothing more formidable than 8
pounder guns Lieutenant Commander
Richard Wainwright steamed right into
che thick Of the muss. When the big
Spanish battleships sailed out of the
harbor, he began peppering away at
them, like boy with putty blower
tackling an armored knight. The ap-
pearance Of the two formidable torpedo
boat destroyers Pluton and Furor, those
long grim terrors with which the Span
ish boasted that they would wipe our
entire navy from the seas, was the occa,
sion which Wainwright eagerly seized
for distinguishing himself
Ignoring the fact that a single shell
from one of the big guns on the destroy
ers would have made kindling wood of
his own tiny craft, he went for the Plu-
ton and Terror as q wasp does for lion.
His activity was met with a storm of
missiles of all kinds, bpt although the
water around bis boat was churrBd into

mering away and getting into closer
Quarters with his antagonists. During
the entire action he stood on the bridge
and directed the fighting Of his boat.
With some help from the rest Of the
feet no pounded away until both the
destroyers were shattered hulks.
1t was one of the most remarkable ex-
hibitions of audacious bravery In naval
annals. Probably no ship ever fought
such an unequal fight and came OFF vic
torious. OF course it is too much to
claim that Wainwright alone was re-
sPolsible foS the destruction Of the de-
stroyers, but It is wonderful enough
that his boat should have taken any
part in snch q battle Of giants 1t is a
fact, moreover, that the well directed
fire from his Founders did much to
disable both the Pluton and the Terror.
But the navy is not winning all the
glory by any means The army is far
