A Wounded Soldier On HIS Way to
HOSPITAL.

Yesterday az K &. Attleman passed
through the city on his way from Mani
la to the hospital, HERALD reporter
talked to him in regard TO the affairs
in the Philippines and the wounded
man said: Il have been in the Fourth
cavllry for about a year. 1 didn't know
when l enlisted that l would ever go
half way around the world to fight for
the United States, but when the order
came TO go l was As anxious to go as
any one in the regiment.
"Our company, G, was right in the
thickest of the fight. Nearly all OF the
men killed or wounded were hit twice
like myself. AS you see, ] was shot 10
the left fore arm and in the body, and
q piece of shell struck my right foot.
"Hopolulu is one OF the prett1est
places [ ever saw. L had a good time
there-we were treated like kings. We
were entertained and given all the lib
erty we wanted. | didn't hear any
com planning about the annexation, as
some of the papers here tell OF. We
were there about a week, then we
started on a long voyage and arrived in
the bay of Manila on rainy, Disagree
able day and it made the whole lot of
us kind of discouraged.
We Landed aud went into camp while
it was raining, and all of US were We t
to the skin, and the whole shooting
match were cursing their lot. The
troops there did all they could to help
and cheer us in our work. When we
landed they had good hot coffee TO
serve US and that warmed the boys
Will they were wet
After we had been in camp for
some time we had chance to get a
squirt at the Filipinos and they are
worse than the Mexicans or even the
negroes of the lowest grade. or
course they are not black like the
African; they are more like the In
dian and their ways are a good deal
like the Indians. They are unable to
take care of themselves. They will
always have to have someone to govern
them and the way the thing Will
wind up is that the country that finally
get the islands will have to govern
these people something like we do the
Indians. Their mode of living is the
same too, for they do not work hardly
they plant little grain, but live most
ly on the fish they cate n and the fruit.
We had all the mangoes that we want
ed, but il took the boys some time to
get to liking them. The other fruit Is
not as good as that which we have
here.
"In the town of Manila, which we
entered after the surrender, we found
that the Spaniards d , most OF the trad
ing and own all the largest stores. The
most tempting displays are made by
the wineshops, which are generally
run by a FreDchmsp, or Swiss, and
they seem to do a good business. for
this sort of shops are always filled and
the liquors sold there are cheaper than
they are here"
On being asked about the fight for
the city, Mr.. Attleman said, 'Well,

II Shortens the Laws Delays.

IAN office with q west front Is q
great thing In the justice line these
days." said Clerk SGurgis, as Justice
Hawthorne disposed of a half-dozen
cases in half an hour yesterday after
noon
1.-THE advantage comes in the fact
that q room fronting the west gets
hotter than any other and becomes un-
comfortable for the crimioal-, the
court and the lawyers. The criminals
give up the truth more readily, aod
the court is more rapid in his deci-
sions, but the principal advantage Is in
the time gained on the lawyers. When
they are little bit more uncomfortable
than usual it is surprising how they
forget to delay the proceedings, and
how they can facilitate business. Now,
this room is admirably arranged, hot
in summer and cold as the mischief In
winter. 1t makes business go with q
dash and hustle, and we officials get
away the same as the rest OF them
when IL Is over. You know we are on
salary now, and only have to 90 what
we caunot get out of any way"
The courtrooms OF most of the South
Side justices are on the east side of the
street, and so located that they are Un-
com forta BILE almost any time in the day
when courts are usually held.-KanSas

our soldiers take an ocean plunge dur

pronounced "Vikeekee." There Is a
great difference in the speech of the
high and low-csste natives. The first
call their island group "Ha-va-ee-ee. "
and the latter begin it all right with
''Hs," but conclude with cultural

"Aloha," sounds soft and beautiful on
the lips of the first, but is lazy, good

Able to Take Care of Himself.

Samuel Eckmsu of Indianapolis is q
hustler. He has been appointed man
ager of the American Hotel at San
Juan, Porto Rico. He tried to go to
war as a mum Der of the Twenty seventh
Indiana battery, but was rejected. He
followed the battery to Chickamauga
and was soon doing thriving business
in supplying the Indiana and other
troops with their home papers, his
business growing so rapidly that he
had to get a mule and wagon to de-
liver his papers the third day he was
at il. When the order came for the
battery to go to Porto Rico he
said to the battery boys, "Oh, yes, I'll
be with you on the island" He start
ed at once. How he got there is not
related, but he was waiting at Ponce
for the battery when it arrived. Now
he's hotel manager.

Case the prisoner was remanded TO all
In default OF $500 bail. His poor old

him a minute.
This moruiug In Judge McKie's
court. the civil case brought by Me- srs.
Patterson aud Wallace against Chief
Lockhart for the recovery OF the
money which was taken from the per-
son OF A. w. Morris at the time OF his

From the evidence produced by
Judge Smailwood, attorney OF Patter-

employed these two attorneys to de-
fend him in his suits and he gave them
nm order on Chief Lockhart for the
money which was still in his posses

the money until he had the proper
instructions from the courts.

Our Chinese Trade.

Owing to the form IN Wnlcn INC re

between America aud Chinese ports,

THE NOTE WAS PACIFIC.
Nothing OF a Threatening Nature
in Minister Woodford's
Communication.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 27.-The Off
Gals here are somewhat surprised at the
exhibition of feeling at Madrid over the
latest note of Minister Woodford, deliv-
cred to the Spanish foreign Office the day
before Christmas While the note itself
will not be made public at present, 1t
is said that there is no reason whatever
why it should be withheld save the fact
that the preceding scenes III the negoua-
tons have not yet seen the light III the
newspapers. and it is desirable. when a
publication is made. to preserve the com
pcte chain of events IN natural ordcr.
Possibly the correspondence Will shorty
be called for by Congress, III which case
il is not likely to be withheld on grounds
of public policy. ,
The last note presented by Minister
Woodford was in answer To the spanish
note called forth by Mr.. Woodfords
very first note after his arrival at Mad,
rid In the initial note the United
States minister pointed out the interest
of his country i'll an early termination
of the present struggle IN Cuba ana
asked when such Il conclusion could be
expected
The Spanish government III its reply
acknowledged our interest III the matter,
but suggested. after stating what 1t IN
tended to do to amelioratc conditions IN
Cuba, that the United States could best
exercise its good offices by stopping hll-
clustering.
TO this Mr.. Woodford responded with
his note of last week. 1t is said to be
a purely argumcntative statement of the
position taken by the United States and
the facts set out are substantially those
so strongly woven into the Presidents
message to Congress. of which it was
supposed the Spanish public had been
fully advised through the newspapers.
The most fOrcible statement in the note
is based upon the facts collected and pub
liShed recently by the treasury depart
ment, exhibiting the great expense to
which the United States had been put by
reason of ijS efforts to patrol an cnorm-
Gus coast line in the pursuit of 4 few fill
buSterers. and the remarkable success of
the government officials in stopping these
expeditions as contra sted with the feeble
efforts of the Spanish authorities to main
tain a patrol around the island of Cuba.
All of these facts were included i'll Mr..
Woodford's note. and while he put them
IN his own language in presenting them to
The Spanish foreign Office. it is said that
the statements concern only events that
have already been touched upon.

Then clover tea, and tansy tea, and eat
nip and mint tea are used, though not

In Sumatra they use coffee leaves to

said to be very refreshing. In Mauritius
the leaves Of an orchid. Angraecum fra
grams, are used. The Tonquinese have
teas of their own, made of leaves. Der
ries, barkS and woods. The Abyssin-
ians make tea out of the leaves of the
Catha edulls; when a sentinel can't leave
his post to get a cup of tea he can chew
a leaf or two of this plant, and he won't
feel like going to sleep all night. In Tas-
mania there are said to be more than POO
substitutes for tea; i'll England they used
to make tea of sage, betony or rosemary,
and of raspberry leaves; in France they
use black currant leaves and borage to
make tea; and a century or 50 ago they
gathered in English gardens and fields
