KISSED THE SOLDIER BOYS.
Nebraska's Men Have . Sweet and
Tender Farewell at the
Dock.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
The scenes and incidents along the water
front during the departure of the trans
ports showed that true patriotism is not
lacking in this city. The boys in blue were
given royal farewell. Every wharf and
pier along the front was crowded with
people. The hills commanding a view of
the bay were black with spectators waving

to lungs, was brought into requisition.
Numerous excursion parties went out on
the bay early in the day. The Ck.ah, Grace

Interesting incidents On the steamer as well
Miss Florence Curtin and Miss Katie Hy-

them from showerng the soldiers WITH
to a standstill.
the two girls stood the strIngpiece and
kissed every soldier that showed his head
through portfolio. The holes were just
big enough for mans head, and it was
that popped through the opening. The
young laGies were not at all bashful. The
crowd on the wharf did not restrain them.
They had kisses to give and they gave
them without fear or favor.
Every time the girls kissed one Of the
grinning faces the soldiers the upper
deck, who looked on with jealous eyes,
gave cheer for their happier comrades.
1t seemed as though the girls were not able
to supply the demand. The more they kiss
ed the more heads popped through the
portfolios.
After time the kissing became weari-
some and the two girls were forced to
beat a nasty retreat, happy in the con-
seriousness that they had done their duty
to their country.
Miss Agnes Hollett filed the breach made
by the withdrawal of Miss Curlin and Misc
Hymen.
Come to the portfolios and I will give
you kiss" she called to Nebraska's os-
culators. The order was promptly obeyed
by the younger soldiers.
Miss Agnes is only sweet Is. but she
knows a thing or two about entertaining
the boys in blue. AS the steamer was pull
ing out, and the last kiss had been bestow-
ed. she remarked: Wasn't it IoveIy," The
boys gave Miss Agnes hearty cheer for
her generosity.

MORE YELLOW fever.
Two New Cases Have Been Uncovered
in Infected Houses at Nc
Henry, Miss.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Two new cases
of yellow fever have broken out at Nc
Henry, Miss, the quarantined town, and
were reported to Surgeon General Wyman,
of the marine hospital service, to-day.
These official dispatches announcing the
fresh developments in the yellow fever
situation located the new cases in the same
house where the first seven cases occurred.
Camp Fontainbleau. Just outside the lit
tie town, has been prepared, in anticipa-
tion of further developments, and the fed
eral and state authorities have taken the
precautions they regard as necessary.
While the authoritie here were inclined to
believe the situation was very encouraging
in view Of the uniformly favorable reports
for the past week or ten days, there was
not much surprise at the fresh cases under
the conditions of such outbreak and the
confinements of the fever to the houses
already attacked is significant.

THE KAISER TO HIS ARMY.
Emperor william Speaks of War as

Throne.

BERLIN, June 20.-The official Reichsan-
ger to-day says that Emperor William, in
a speech which he delivered to the i'm
perial guards in the Lustgarten, at Pots
dam, on Thursday, spoke of the army as
being his most important inheritance and
said:
When I ascended the throne, with a
weighty load of anxiety, everywhere was
l regarded askance and everywhere / en-
countered false judgment. The army alone
believed in me, and, supported by you and
trusting in the God Of our forefathers,
assumed my heavy office, knowing well that
the army was the chief support Of my
country and the chief pillar of my throne"
His majesty concluded with hoping the
loyalty of the army will become ever more
pronounced, and that its main supports,
namely. bravery, honor and unconditional
and answering blind obedience may ever
remain mistaken
