OFFERED TO UNCLE SAM.

Deep River, Aug. 11.-James A. Jones of Deep River has offered to the gov ernment the free use for hospital pur- poses of Hicks Island, near the mili- tary camp at Montauk Point, Long Island. This island, which is owned by MT. Jones' is about thirty acres in area, and on it are several commodious buildings, wharves, boilers, engines, pumps, etc. Hicks Island is but two miles from the Long Island railroad and four miles west of Fort Pond bay, where the big camp is located. It is at the entrance of Napheague bay, which affords splendid harbor for light draught vessels.
 Henry c. Rowe, president of the Con- necticut Oyster Growers association has called meeting of that body to assemble August IT, at Bridgeport in the board of trade building. It is eX- pected that besides the general routine work, some action will be taken in re- gard to the discussion of the oyster set" which this season is not very promising. Also something may come up concerning laws that will be of in- terest to the oyster dealers. A large meeting is expected.

Expense of Cable communication.

Washington, Aug. n.-Few people are aware of the heavy expense attached to cable communication, under existing conditions, between the government here and General Miles and the naval commanders at Porto Rico. The reason assigned for the heavy cable tolls is that 1t is necessary to use a, very circu- itous route and transfer through sev- eral different cables in order to reach New York from Ponce. General Greedy, chief signal officer, hopes to better this condition very shortly. The French ca- ble passes about twelve miles north ward of San Juan on the north coast, and 1t is the expectation of General Greedy, with the consent of the cable officers, to have this cable cut at that point and a landing made on the north shore of Porto Rico, where a cable sta tion will be ordered. The immediate result will be to afford much more di- rect communication between Porto Rico and the United States and cut the cable tolls down one-half. The French cable officers are said to have acted with the greatest courtesy and consideration in accommodating the United States gov ernment throughout the West Indian campaign, although of course having strict regard for the obligations impos- ed by the neutrality laws.

THE GorERNuENr OF CUBA,
Matter Receiving the Serious COnsIdera-
 ton of the Administration.


 Washington, Aug, 11.-Plans for the temporary government of Cuba and the territory which will be acquired from Spain as result of the war are now under serious consideration by the president and members of the cabinet. Porto Rico, as an actual acquisition to the territory of the United States, will be placed in charge of military gov
 ernor who will exercise a supervisory control of all of the functions of gov ernment, under the decision of the pres ident, until congress shall determine upon form of government for the isl
 and, The president, under the consti- tuition and laws, has no authority to go beyond this preliminary or temporary stage in the establishment of any sys- tenn of governmental control, and al
 though it is altogether probable that in his message to congress on the subject he will exercise his constitutional privi- lege of making recommendations, upon | congress alone will devote the respon- sible duty of determining the character of the relations which Porto Rico shall
 permanently bear to the United States. There are reasons for the belief that the president himself favors colonial form
 of government, and that this view is shared by the cabinet Canada Is cited as having a model government. This system, however, it is believed, can be put into operation only after the lapse of considerable period of time and af- ter the people have demonstrated sat | isfactorly their ability to govern them | selves intelligently In all local matters. Upon the evacuation of Cuba it is be- | lieved to be the intention of the presi- l dent to establish for the whole island a temporary military government similar l to that now in operation at Santiago When order has been fully restored and the people have settled down to | their peaceful occupations 1t is believed
 to be the view of the president that a | convention of representatives of the people should be called to vote upon the question of a form of government for ! the island The presence of the army | of the United States would be guar antee that every citizen who would | subscribe to an oath binding himself to | support whatever form of government | should be agreed upon should have the | unquestioned right to vote for whomso- | ever he pleased to represent him at this | convention. The action of this body, | however, would have to be submitted | to the United States for approval or 1 disapproVal.

 Robert Taylor, of Bank street, was in a reminiscent mood this morning (Au- gust 9 when Democrat reporter ac- costed him at the New England rail road crossing, Any news?" asked the reporter. Well, yes" he answered. This is the twentieth anniversary of the Wallingford tornado, day fraught with sad memories for many of the people of that town. was living there at that time and escaped death by a hairs breadth, The storm came up about six o'clock in the evening and leVelled everything that came in its way. Just a few minutes before it starter l was sitting in the window and spoke to ship carnsnter named Will son, With an axe in his hand. A little later the crash came, and when l went out Wilson was the first victim I saw. Thlrty-one persons were killed and many others seriously injured, The Catholic church and various other buildings were reduced to kindling wood, and the pond belonging to the Wallingford community, a body of wa ter covering about three hundred acres of land, was swept dry and the water carried in funnel shape a considera- ble distance away Daniel Reilly, now a police officer there, was fishing on the pond in a boat, and was thrown high into the air and carried on to land, miraculously escaping unhurt. It was sight that all who witnessed will nev- CT forget, We had nineteen children in the house that night and people were running wild through all parts of the town. It was on Friday and the bod
 ies of those killed were buried on the following Sunday, and the crowd of people that Hooked in there to see the ruins was so great that many could not get within a mile of the town. Father Leo, God rest him, headed the funeral procession, and every one who could get a sight at the mourners was in tears. ."-Waterbury Democrat.

A NEW LONDON SOLDIER.

He Tells of His Trials at Santiago and
 Describes the Climatic Condition.
 Frederick Morgan Smith wrote home to New London from Santiago under date of July Sl, an interesting letter of which the latter is an excerpt. There is much in his words which contain no allusion to the hardships and discom- forts the soldiers were even then under going to show that war Is a good thing to end as speedily as possible;
 We have received the welcome news that we are to be moved north, rumor says to Montauk Point, L. l., so in about ten days we expect to be on our way. You cannot imagine the hardships we have been obliged to en- dure; the Washington papers say there was nothing like it in the civil war. For one week we lay on a steep hill- side with nothing but rubber blankets for shelter from the violent rain which Is of daily occurrence and the cold damp nights. The days here are very hot, the thermometer running up to 120 to 130 degrees. Towards night, heavy rain is followed by cold dew that trenches you to the skin if exposed to it, in fact after the rain you have no chance to get warm until the next day.
 we are now under our large tents just erected yesterday. The ground is still we from last nights rain. In the shelter tents which covered two of us, we were able to sling our hammocks, but cannot get four hammocks in the large tents, so we use the ground. Tarantulas are very numerous and bold, but their bite is not considered dangerous. Several of the men have been bitten, but no evil results have followed. Our regiment shows the best record for health.
 "The scenery here is varied We are shut in on all sides by high mountains, around whose tops the clouds roll like smoke; across a little hill, on which is located the Division hospital, is the heights of San Juan which, if it had been held by 4,000 of our boys, instead of a like number of Spaniards, we could have defed any nation to capture us, as it is a natural fortress, strengthened by rifle pits and barbed wire fences, and from an adjacent hill, also screened by rifle pits, it seems to-day impregna- ble. From all sides destructive fire could be poured on an enemy, which, from the nature of the country, would have to advance without cover. But when the Spaniards get excited they point their guns in the air and empty the magazines without aim, making the position of their reserve more danger ous than that of the firing line.
 Tt is an awful feeling to be in front of a line of men waiting to shoot you down. You can see men falling on all sides, while you remain dazed, wonder ing when your turn will come. It was terrible while it lasted, but it is all over, we hope, now. I am glad the New London boys were not obliged to come down here"

Military Affairs I'm AInskn.

Washington, Aug. 11.-General Mer- riam, commanding the department of the Columbia, has been given full power in the matter of military affairs in Alaska. He has telegraphed to the de- partment saying that the last boats were about to leave for the Yukon country and it might be necessary to send some portion of the army here to insure the public peace. It is probable that he will send two or three hundred men, including a battery of artillery. General Merriam will select such troops from his command as he thinks are needed in Alaska.

THE WoRcEsTER FESTIVAL.

The annual music festival at Worces- ter begins this year. Monday Septem- Der 26, and continues through Friday, although the Monday evening perfor- nance is classed as a public rehearsal and the first concert is announced to be the performed of Elijah" on Tuesday evening. Among the novelties of the week will be Tschaikowsky's Overture Fantasie from Romeo and Juliette" |" Raff's symphony, I'm Walde," and a cantata, "The Rose of Avondale," by Mrs. H. H. A. Beach. One of the nota- ble things at the festival will be the funeral march which will be played be- fore the performance of Elijah" in memory of the musicians who were lost on the steamer Bourgogne. They had all been prominent at the Worcester festivals. Leon Pourtau was first clar- inet, l.. Jacquet first flute, and A. Weiss second oboe. All were fine musi- head of players of his preferred instru- ment Of them a writer in the August Musical Record says.
 "They were admirable musicians; they were honorable men.
 Nor is 1t too much to say that Leon Pourtau was genius. The fact that this young man won first prize of the Paris conservatory would induce you to admit at once that he must have been a player of indisputable technical skill. But he was more than virtuoso--for the word is now used chiefly in it's low CT sense. It was not the brilliance of his technic, which was dazzling; it was not, again, the mere sensuous beauty of his tone, which was indescribable, that convinced you that he was genius; 1t was not the purity, or the exquisite, unerring taste displayed in phrasing, that set him apart from others; for clarinetists have exhibited all these qualities and yet you, listening, have been restless or cold. When Pourtau played, in solo or ensemble, you thought more of the musician than of the instrument, you thought more of the rare and poetic individuality than of the musician"
 The vocal soloists at the festival will be Mme. Gadski Miss Gertrude May Stein, Miss Marie Downey, Miss Sara Anderson, Miss Minna Molka Kellogg, Mme. Carl Alves, H. Evan Williams, Dudley Buck, Jr., D. Ffrangcon Da- vies, Gwylim Miles and Mackenzie Gordon. Instrumental soloists are Adele Aus der One and Ovide Musin. The chorus numbers four hundred and MT. Chadwick will be the director

THE COURT RECORD.

The Yale National bank has, through Attorney Henry G. Newton, brought suit against Henry Ives, now of New York, for $20,000, and has attached property at the corner of Orange and Wall streets to cover the amount of it's claim.
 MT. Ives was formerly of New Haven and an officer in the Edgewood compa- my, whose place of business was on Goffe street. This company failed and went through insolvency. It paid a small dividend. It seems that Henry Ives was an endorser for the company on several notes, the exact amount of which cannot be learned.
 Mir. Ives is now an heir of the late Miss Mabel Stevens, daughter of s. A. Stevens. She owned the property at the corner of Orange and Wall streets. Attorney Newton, in order to secure the banks claim against MT. Ives, brought a suit against MT Ives and attached his interest in the property. The attach ment, which was placed by Constable Bree, was for $25, ,000, but it is stated that Mr. Ives indebtedness to the bank is not nearly as large as that.
 Henry Ives is a Yale man and while in college was very popular and gen. eral favorite. His grandfather was Henry Ives, who was a prominent man. ufacturer and carried on a large man. ufacturing business at Mt. Carmel and built the house at the corner of Orange and Wall streets which has just been attached. His father, the late Freder- ick Ives, succeeded to his fathers busi- ness and resided on Orange street, ad- Joining the residence of Henry c. Rowe. He was a man very highly esteemed, Mrs. s. A. Stevens was sister of Fred erick Ives, and when she died her in- terests in the property were inherited by her daughter, Miss Mabel Stevens, who died recently. On Miss Stevens death the property went to her mothers S relatives, one of the heirs being Henry Ives, who endorsed the notes which fig ure in the action just brought.
 Henry Ives some years ago engaged In business on Goffe street, the firm be- ing known as the Edgewood company and manufacturing brass goods. The business gave indications of being a prosperous one, but the hard times came on and difficulties followed. It is understood that MT. Ives endorsement on the paper of the company was not for large amount
