he Tells Of the Landing of Troops at Bal
quiri
What Could He Done IL the Cavalry
Had Their Horses With
Them.

The following letter from Maj. Gen. Jos.
Wheeler. written to a friend here, will be
read with interest. 1t Is dated ''Headquar-
tiers Cavalry Division. United States Army.
Baiquiri near Santiago de Cuba, June %,
1885," and says:
I'VE commenced going ashore yesterday.
l rode about eight miles, penetrating in
land about four miles. The road to Santa
go is very good military road Bananas
and cocoanuts abound. Vegetation OF all
kinds is so dense and luxuriant that to
leave the road at all is quite difficult, ex-
cept in certain elevated places. which are
quite open or only covered by scrubby
growth. The Spaniards have blockhouses
at various points along the road. The near
est one now held by them is some three or
four miles beyond the point occupied by
our advanced troops. 1 think they Will
abandon these as We approach. 1 doubt If
there are over 1900 or 10000 Spanish
troops in the province. and probably less
than 10000 in the city Of Santiago.
Cuba Is not SO entirely different from
other countries as we might have been led
to believe. 1t is easy to imagine that We
are still on our native soil.
Our horses are so weakened by the trip
that We cannot get them off the ships and

CATARACT.

This Is condition OF dizziness Of vision produced
by opacity Of the lens Of the eye. The only
method OF relief in the past has been by surgical
measures The great dread of the knife has
caused many thousands Of people TO go through

more or less hanger of all surgical operations and
the great chance Of the ordeal in the end proving
OF no benefit. Medical science has for once super

method Of treating such eases by absorption. No

AMERICAN-IRISH SOCIETY


American ALLIANCE.
The annual banquet of the American
Irish National Society was held at TIE
Wentworth. in Newcastle, N. H.. last even
irg. and a large number of members from
all over the country were present.
A letter was received from President
General Mossly. Washington. D. c.. ex-
pI essing regret at his inability to attend,
an official visit. as secretary of the inter-
state commerce commission, to the Pacific
coast having prevented him.
A minute was adopted protesting against
the mooted Anglo-American alliance. 1t
denominated those who prefer to call them
selves "Anglo-Saxons" rather than Amer
leans" as the same class as the tories of
the revolution. who took up arms against
the patriots. and who. in a later genera
traitors who burned blue lights along the
coast to give Information to the enemy.
The minute further declared that the
American is not an Anglo-Saxon people,
and the bold attempt to bolster up the
chronological lie has rendered the authors
of 1t quite ridiculous.
An interesting feature of the evening was
the reading of an application for the es
Establishment Of chapter of the society in
the Transvaal. South Africa. The matter
vas referred to the executive council for
action. The officials extended a vote Of
thanks to Secretary John D. Long of the
navy for giving the names of Barry and
Ma cdonough to two of the torpedo boat de-
stroyers and the name Of O'Brien to one of
the new torpedo boats.
Thomas Hamilton Murray, the national
secretary. reported the present member
ship as between 5000 and 1900. Thirty
seven states are represented.

From the Nashville Bonner.
The mastering in of Company G, the last
70 take the oath, was marked by an In
ctdent worthy of patriotic soldier. G. at
the last moment was lacking a man. and
the sergeants were out securing camp for
some one to take the place, SO that the
entire regiment could be sworn in Learn
ing the need. Captain Beyland, who
brought down an extra company for the
Sd. thus making one more than the re-
quired number and requiring division
among the other companies, retired to his
ten without word to the other officers
who were standing before the men anxious
ly waiting for one more man to be found
Hope was almost gone. when from the
tents of the Sd an erect figure came strid-
ing toward the line. When he came in full
view, some one sold: It's Captain Bey-
land" The young man marched up to the
line of privates and silently but determined
ly took his place in the ranks. He had cut
off his shoulder-straps, and he took the
oath as q private.
This noble act thrilled the men, though
there was no demonstration of approval
from these military men. Speaking after
ward OF Captain Beyland's conduct, Col
onel Fyffe and Captain George Leroy
Brown commended him in the highest
terms. 1T is just what we might have
looked fof In a man like Beyland." said

In state convention the republicans of

The third ballot gave Eustis 555, where
691 were needed, but changes before the
vote was announced quickly brought enough
to nominate, and the St. Paul delegation
moved to make 1t unanimous, which was
done with burst of applause of the sort
which invoked William Henry Eustis' ia
nous speech when he almost stampeded q

RESOLUTIONS were adopted presenting Sem
ator Cushman K. Davis to the incoming
