oilers was stolen and Sold.
NEW YoRK, Aug. 30.-A dispatch to
The New York Herald from Boston
says: The death OF Lieutenant Tiff
fanny and the intimations regarding
the Olivctte made by Belmont Tiffany
and the physician who attended his
brother, has awakened great interest
in the cruise OF that ship.
Frederick Miller, n seaman on the
Olivctte, charged that the delicacies
put on the Olivettc for the sick and
wounded were not given to them, but
were sold in limited quantities to
those who had money to- buy, and
these were the officers and passengers
rather than the sick soldiers lie said:
1--WE left Santiago in n wretched con
dition and lack Of proper food and
treatment on the voyage came
very near being disastrous to all
the sick and wounded men. Their
treatment was outrageous and IL is a
wonder that any of them survive.
Those who were able TO walk got food
from the sailors and fircman, but. OF
course, all could no. be fed in that
way.
Ice cream, ginger ale and other
d%clicacics were put on board for the
sick and wounded. The food and
drink never reached the soldiers, for
they were sold to the passengers.
When we got to Montauk Point what
vas left of the ice cream was sour and
was thrown overheard"

GOT MORE THAN HE EXPECTED.

~ look upon the campaign just
closed as n successful one in the high.
est degree. not only in regard to the
military operations, but more cspeci-
ally in regard TO the great results
achieved. When we decided to attack
Santiago we looked for nothing o
as the immediate fruit OF victory than
the capture OF the city. What has
been achieved Ia the capitulation of the
eastern part Of the province from a
line at Jibari to the south coast, to-
gether with the enemy's forces,
amounting to almost $4,000 men. Sure
ly this was the most notable achieve
ment Of the campaign. bearing in
mind the fierce opposition we encount-
cred and the comparative smallness Of
our own forces.
From IA military point Of view ]
perhaps took steps which might not
be deemed j~ustifablc under other cir
cumstances, but I knew the temper
and the capabilities of my soldiers and
the moral effect Of our gradually
coping up the enemy within his own
lines.

TALKS ON THE ELECTION
Silver Leader Says 1t Wasn't Sweep
ing Republican Victory and I'm
der the Circumstances the Res lit
Is Not OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Tha.
Parties Will Fight Over.

Lincoln, Nov 16.--William j. Bryan
last night gave to the Associated Press
an interview relative to the late cleo
ton. He said: While | do not I'M
derstand that service in the volunteer
army prevents a soldier from express
ing opinions upon political questions,
| declined to take part in the late
campaign lest | should be accused by
partisan opponents of attempting to
embarrass the administration. Now
that the election is over / shall eXcr-
else a citizens privilege of discussing
the returns. Compared with the cleo
ton of 1896, the republicans gained in
some places and lost in others. 1t was
not a sweeping republican victory and
on the whole the result is not
surprising when it Is remem-
bered that the administration
people have not accepted the gold
standard; they have not fallen in
love with the plan to give banks a
monopoly of the issue of paper money;
they have not decided to retire green
backs; they have not surrendered to
trusts These questions were forced
into the background by the declara-
ton of war, but they must be faced
again as soon as peace is restored
Neither can the election be regarded as
an endorsement of any definite foreign
policy. Until the treaty of peace has
been entered into and the terms made
known, the people cannot pass judg-
ment upon 1t. Whether the war will
raise any questions of sufficient i'm
portance to turn public attention away
from the democratic problems 1t is inn
possible to be seen"

FORGOTTEN SIDE OF COL WARING

But there is another field in which
Col. Waring, who recently died of yell
low fever in New York, distinguished
himself although in these latter days
his literary work has almost been for
gotten. Few of those who admired
him as a sanitary engineer and able
administrative head of a vast street
cleaning department knew that in his
early days he wrote a charming series
OF stories, relating to his own expert
ences in the civil war, which were
published under the title of Whip and
Supr, and which deserve to be read
and remembered because Of their keen
insight into both human and brute
nature. The love for the former is
clearly shown by the brief sketch de-
nominated WelIstein, in which the
history of the life and death of brave
little bugler is simply told. with just
the touch OF sympathetic feeling re-
CURED by such history, and his love
for animals is equally we'll demon

SPANIARDS DETERMINED TO RE-
TAIN PHILIPPINES.
THE WAR MAY BE RESUMED
Unless the American Commissioners
Change Terms So Far Laid Down,
the Spanards Say There Can Be
No Agreement Whatever-Seem to
Be After Big Money.

Paris, Nov. 16.-The Spanish declare
based on any Philippine terms thus
far suggested by the United States is
irrevocable. They do not and cannot
view the taking of the Philippines as
anything else than rayishment #
their possessions, unless it is accom-
panied by financial consideration Of
appreciable size. Therefore a turn of
events in the peace conference de-
ponds upon the purpose or Willingness
of the American commissioners to OK
tend their financial terms. The Spanish
sovereignty in the Philippines is now
clung 20 by the Spaniards chiefly as a
means to obtain financial relief If pos
sibe. A Spaniard, who Is posted as
to the exact status of affairs, informed
the correspondent of the Associated
Press last night that he did not be-
lieve the Spanish commissioners would
take their final stand at todays SEES
sion, though he thought 1t was posi-
Bile that they might finally decline to
continue the discussion except within
the limits of SPANS construction Of
the protocol. This Is another way OF
saying that Spain may cease her COM
tentions. Should she do so she would
make an open protest to the world
against "spoilaton."
Madrid Nov. 16.-AcCOrding to semi
official statements here, the Spanish
peace commissioners will maintain
their present attitude in regard to the
Philippine islands and will certainly
not accept the conditions of the United
States. If the discussion does not re-
turn to the limits of the protocol, as
viewed by the Spaniards, the Spanish
commissioners have decided not to
sign a treaty Of peace.
London, Nov. 16.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says: "A
leading Carlist tells me he will be as
tonished if formidable uprising does
not occur in Spain within a month
after the peace treaty is signed. The
Carists have abundant supplies and
money and, my informant says, only
something very big and unexpected
can prevent rising. This appears to
agree with the news that Don Carlos
has succeeded in raising an important
loan in London and in Paris, and that
wealthy Carlist families are insuring
their property against war risks, A
prominent official of the Spanish war
office says that the government Is
aware of the Carlist activity and is
even more ready than the Carlsts."
London Paris, Nov. l6.-The rumors
circulated yesterday that an American
fleet was en- the point of starting for
Europe caused great excitement in
commercial circles. The Daily Graphic
said: Spanish transatlantic steam
ers have been ordered to be prepared
for a renewal of hostilites and the
forts on the Canary islands are being
rapidly manned"

HOMEMADE TOYS.

OFTEN homemade pIaythings are
treasured by little people more than
expensive trinkets, writes Margaret
Lyndlth in the Household. Our chill
dren are domestic in their tastes at
present, so procured some pasteboard
boxes about ii by Is inches, and nine
inches high, and we made a house and
barn. Have plenty of old pasteboard
boxes to cut up for partitions and
furniture. We made kitchen, pantry
and dining-room in one box: in tbs
other, called the upright. was the
sitting room and bedroom. Cut the
partitions to fit tight, or they will AL
ways be tumbling down. Cut double
doors between sitting room and bed
room, and use any pretty little scran
you may have of silk, lace or velvet
for porteres The pink and green
papers in which so many packages
come wrapped We're cut in fancy pat
terms for carpets, which let the white
or the bottom of the box show through
FOR the pattern. They also make pref
ty coverings for the tables and beds.
Inc chairs, tables. beds, etc. are cut
from pasteboard, more OF less fancy,
according to the skill of the artist.
Then we cut a family of paper dolls
to inhabit the house, clothing them
from some of the bright paper. An
other box has been made into a
barn with pasteboard stalls, managers
and stanchions, being divided into
compartments for horses and cattle,
with place between them for hay;
the hay IS represented by very thin
little papers. The horses, cows and
calves are made of pasteboard, and are
fed regularly on paper raticns; the
cover to this box is set one side for
barn-yard, in one corner of which
are the tank and windmill, made also
OF Dashboard; the pitchfork, shovels,
hamm ers, etc, are made of stiff PASTE
board. "A small shoe box, with paste
board wheels and tongue is the wagon,
and Wrapping cord is utilized for
harnesses. A handsome rag doll can
be made of cloth, if one is handy about
sucn things; and they are often pre-
ferred to more expensive one. An
elephant made of gray cloth with a
small red blanket on. is greatly en-
joyed by children especially when
playing circus. A pair of lines, one
inch wide and three yards long, can be
knit OF odds AID ends and are very
serviceable when one drives another.
In short If one has little ingenuity,
little time and remembers what
pleases them when they were children,
their children need never lack play
things, even though the purse is
empty.
