In the debate upon the Teller resolu-
ton Friday, Senator Aldrich declared
that 1--WE intend to meet this question
squarely. We are responsible to the
great party we represent. 3"
This was grandiloquent, yet we observe
that upon the proposition embodied in
the Lodge amendment, that the bonds
are payable in gold, two distinguished
members of Mr.. Aldrich's great party
refused to go on record-Mr. Allison, Re-
publican leader in the senate, and Mr..
Burrows, long the Republican leader in
the house.

THE WANDERER'S EXPEDITION.
Fails to Effect a Landing on Cuban
Soil.

KEY WEST Fla.), July -, 9:30 a.
m.-News reached here to-day of the
attempted landing on Cuban shores of
a large expedition, men and arms, by
the steamer Wanderer, which left Key
West about a week ago. BaneS, west
of Havana, was the point selected for
debarkation, but on arriving there the
expedition was confronted by a body of
cavalry, numbering LOCO or more, and a
sharp engagement ensued. The Wan
derer was to have been met by a party
of Cubans, who had evidently been
driven off by Spanish forces before the
arrival of the Wanderer.
The Wanderer, which was not under
convoy, drew up about 400 yards from
the shore and began discharging her
cargo by means of small boats. At
first there were no signs of resistance,
and a portion of the supplies had al
ready heen placed on the beach, when a
vigorous rifle fire was opened on the
members of the expedition from wood
lining the beach, and a force of Spanish
cavalrymeu burst into sight. There
were about two score of sharpshooters,
who evidently expected the expedition,
and they attempted to cover the re-
treat by lying flat and returning the
Spaniards fire. They picked off a num-
ber of the cavalrymen, and as the open
ing force backed to the woods the Wan
derer's men got their boats off, but not
before William Davis, mate; William
Ross, seaman; Gabriel Alvarez. Felix
Lopez and Rojolu Garcia had been
slightly wounded.
After the Wanderers men had gotten
away the Spaniards pushed down to the
beach and resumed their fire. peppering
the hull of the Wanderer with Mauser
bullets, but infiicting no further dam
age.
The gunboat Vicksburg returned here
this morning, after having been thirty

that on Tuesday last while two miles

The Eagerness of Lawyers.

A story is being told among some OF
Louisvile's lawyers to illustrate the
point that kentucky's rural attorneys
never overlook a chance to turn rail-
road accidents into coin of the realm.
Not long ago Thomas H. Johnson of
New Albany, an employe of the Illinois
Central Railroad, running on a freight
train between Louisville and Central
City was killed while leaning out from
the top of a car. Before the widow
even knew all the particulars of his
death letters were showered in upon
her by lawyers along the line of the
road. In due time the coffin bearing
the remains of the unfortunate man
reached the mourning widow 1t was
opened, and to the coat sleeve of the
dead mans grave-clothes was pinned
a note written by a lawyer near the
scene of the accident offering to prose-
cute the road for a percentage of the
damages.
Another story is told illustrating the
avidity with which the Illinois Central
is sued. Emory A. Storrs, the famous
Chicago lawyer, was approached by an
old man with a note one day. The
note had been found among the effects
of deceased relative.
Whats the nature of the note?"
asked Mr. Storrs.
II don't know, SIR" answered the old
fellow.
Have you any idea who wrote it?"
asked Mr. Storrs.
mo, sir" answered the note-bearer.
We'll, do you know anything about
the note at all? asked Mr. Storrs.

man.

to-day. There will be thousand II we

This was the prediction made this

teraz is looking after the health of the
army in that particular line. The bolt
OF fever has fallen out of an apparently
clear sky Three cases were diScov-
cred four days ago. There were twenty
the next night Now there are 20O. DIR.
Senn's estimate of / 200 in two weeks
seems conservative in the face of these
figures.
DIR. Guiteraz said to-day: Il cannot
say that the fever is of a mild type, but
there has been only one death SO far,
though there have been two cases of
suppression and two of black Vomlt,
symptoms supposed to mark only the
last stages of desperate case. All
four of these, however, seem to be doing
we'll The usual course in an epidemic
is a mild beginning with low death
rate, followed by more violent cases,
more of them and a higher mortality;
then a gradual decline, both in the
number of cases and their violence.
i should say that in this campaign
we will have an apparently lower raSe
than usual but it will be because we
will get nearer to true figures than in
an epidemic in a large city. Here
every suspicious case will be care
fully noted, and it will practically be
impossible for even q mild case to es-
cape detection. In city many of these
light cases are not reported, and are
set down to malarial fever, hence the
yellow fever death rate being taken
from among only the more violent cases
is made to appear higher in proportion
to the number of cases than it really 1t.
1t cannot be denied that there will BE-
great suffering, but the detention camp
is being put in the best possible order

been of great service to the marines.
