GOLDEN WEDDING
There Was Not Vacant Chair in the
Family Circle

SAN BERNARDINO, June 27.-It is sell
dom that an event of such interest in family
circles occurs as the golden wedding ami
versary of Mr.. and Mrs. John M. Morris,
which took place on Saturday and Sunday,
June rs and &c, at the family residence on
the corner of Mt. Vernon and Base Line
avenues. The central figures, who came
here from Kansas over quarter of a cen
tury ago, are as well known as the earliest
of the pioneers, and they have their family
all around them easily available for such
gathering. The children were all there.
and there was not grandchild missing on
calling the roll. OF the former there were
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Hadden of this city;
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles II. Morris of Nevada;
Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Handsaker of Berke-
ley; Mr.. and Mrs. oscar M. Morris of Ingle-
wood, Los Angeles county; Mrs. Katie Will
sey of Los Angeles; Mr.. and Mrs. John
Downs, Mr.. and Mrs. William Irving, Mr..
and Mrs. John M. Morris, Jr., and Cramer
B. Morris, all of San Bernardino. In addi-
tion there were fifteen grandchildren to as
sist, and among them all there was no one
more sprightly and active than the bride
and groom of half a century ago, and the
whole anniversary was two days of merry
making and happiness.
The residence was elaborately decorated
for the occasion, the prevailing color being
golden. The reception was held on Satur-
day from 3 to and from to 10 p M, during
which time there were at least 200 guests
from Riverside Redlands, Hihglands and
other places outside the city. The evening
was partially devoted to an impromptu pro-
gram of music readings and recitations
Refreshments were served at small tables
in the spacious dining rooms under the SUI
pervision of Mrs. Irving, Mrs. Charles Nor
rs, Mrs. Oscar Morris and Mrs. John
Downs, while Mrs. Thomas Hadden received
at the door, the guests being introduced by
Mrs. Theodore Handsaker, Mrs. Katie VIII
sey and Mrs. John Norris Jr.
There was a large number of letters and
kilograms received from those unable to
attend and from relatives at the east. The
presents were rich and handsome. Sun
day was devoted to the family reunion, at
which there were thirty-three chairs and
children and grandchildren prepared a mu-
steal and literary program that was the
close TO a most enjoyable occasion.
A notable popularity of the occasion was
the fact that the same date was the ami
versary of two other weddings in the fam

Effects of the Mauser Bullet.


The wounded soldiers at Tampa
show elean-cut wounds, without laeera-
ton, made by Mluser bullets at long
range. Those who were struck at close
range during the early fighting were
so badly mutiIated that il was at first
believed the Spaniards had hacked
their bodies with maehetes. The diff
erenee isexplained 10 be that the Maus-
er bullet, when It leaves the gun, has a
twisting, spiral motion, which causes
il TO tear large holes in any soft sub
stance that il passes through, while,
after il has gone some distance, il loses
this motion and travels with steady,
even flight, which carries il through
flesh and bone without making a hole
larger than itself The wounded men
say, however, that, though the bullets
gave them little pain when they struck,
they knocked down the men they hit,
and this answers a question of great
interest to foreign military students,
especially among the English, who
have expressed much curiosity as to
the abilities Of the various types OF pro-
jectiles 70 stop an advancing foe.
They find fault with most of the small
caliber bullets beeauseOf their supposed
inability to stop the man they hit, and
defend the spreading Dunn Dunn bullet
adopted by the British army, because,
they say, when it strikes a man it puts
him out Of the combat Immediately.
But now it seems that the slender
Msuser bullets do the same, and Opin-
ion on this point will have TO be revised
again.

Our Forces for the Philippines.

Although the first expedition to aid
Admiral Dewey, at Manila, was long
time in reaching him, two others will
follow more promptly, and each Of the
two is stronger than its predecessor.
General AndersOn's, which arrived on
June 80, consisted ofabOut ?, 800 officers
and men; General Greene's, which
ought TO be there by the middle Of this
month, carried 1856, while General
MacArthur's, which is due at the end
of July, took 4,S47, besides a few nom
military persons.
BY August l, therefore, there should
be under General Merritt, who went
with the third expedition a force Of
nearly II 900 officers and men. Add to
these the landing parties Of the fleet,
as now reinforced by the Charleston,
and it will seen that We have force
enough, especially when aided by the
insurgents, to conquer the Philippines,
and that Spain's cause there is DOOM
ed. Yet even this array is not all.
Within a week the fourth expedition,
General Otis, is to leave San Francisco,
while the fifth aud final one viii prob
ably go about fortnight later. These
two will double the land forces now
there and on the way.
But we expect that long before these
later expeditions reach Manila, the
whole Island Of LUzOn will be ours.
There should then be an end Of projects
Of European Intervention. With Ad-
miral Dewey's victorious feet reinfore-
ed by the Charleston, the Monterey
and the MonadnOck, and with 1900
men to maintain our authority ashore,
no European power will find it a con-
venient matter to question our rule.
The trying time was between the vic
tory over MOntejO's fleet aud the ar
rival Of the Charleston with the first
three transports. There Is less Of snx-
iety now.

An American admiral, it seems, is
going to lombard the coast towns Of
Spain. With the smoke Of the first
guns viii vanish the Monroe doctrine.
II America will not let Europe alone,
she cannot expect to be let alone by
Europe Goldwin Smith.
Usually wise and well informed, the
professor here falls into an error which
would be natural to an ignorant Berlin
scribbier, but is really objectionable in
his case.
There IS not sentence, not n line.
not an implication in the message Of
Monroe OF in the subsequent and au-
thoritative utterEnees by which the
doctrine has been interpreted and APP
piled that forbids US or makes il ineon-
sistent and unsafe for us to assaii, bonn
bard, ravage and destroy any European
city OF country in q war undertaken
for Just cause in the defense of our
national interests. The proof Of that
statement lies in the fact that We per-
NIT the European nations to make war
on our sister Republics in the new
world whenever they have a grievance
that justiiies that method Of redress.
The British at Corinto, the Germans at
Port au Prince, Spain herself in Chilli,
were met by no assertion ON our part
that the Monroe doctrine forbade them
to proceed nor did We restrain the
French in Mexico until it became evil
dent that the professed object Of their
foray was not its real object.
We shaA in our own good time pro-
ceed to lombard the coast cities OF
Spain, if in the meantime she does not
sue for peace. Does Prof. Goldwin
smith really suppose that any Euro
pean powers will be 50 foolish as
to 20 to war with Us for exercising our
lawful and proper privileges. II they
do, it will not be because We have
violated our own Monroe doctrine, nor
will our attack ON Spain at home be an
act in any manner inconsistent with

Cervera Embraced schlsy.

On the return Of the United States
cruiser Brooklyn TO the blockade of
Santiago de Cuba on the evening OF
July the Iowa reported to Commodore
Schley that Admiral Cervera, the COM
mander Of the Spanish fleet, was on
board. The commodore at once went
over TO pay his respects.
The Spanish admiral was much east
down by his defeat, but preserved a
dignified and courteous demeanOr not
withstanding. He said he deeply ap-
preeiated the fact that the men Of the
Brooklyn did not exult by cheering
when it was learned that he was
prisoner on the Iowa. He replied, in
response 20 the cOmmodOre's remark
that il was the fortune of war:
ayes; but I've lost my career now
that Pve been defeated. +"
Commodore Schley, however, told
him that such brave deed as bring
ing out his squadron could never be
looked upon otherwise than as a most
gallant feat, upon which Admiral Ger
vera threw his arms around the com-
mOdore and said:
"Ah, sailors always are gentlemen9'
He then said he thought his dead
would probably number seven hundred
and fifty, though he could not tell
definitely.
He spoke of the accuracy and dead
l;ness of the BrOOklyn's fire, saying
that in the early part of the action one
OF her shells had traversed the entire
length Of the gun deck, killing and
wounding probably eighty men. On
the Vizeaya alone there were one hum
dred and ten men killed. Admiral
Cervera said he feared the losses might
be greater than he anticipated, for
many men were below the protective
deck, and when the ships were on
fire ii must have been difficult for
them to escape. He added that all his
captains had been killed or wounded,
but later it was found that the captain
of the CristObal Colon was saved.

Our Treatment of Prisoners.

Good gunnery and dauntless valor
are not the only features Of our fighting
that have astonished the Spaniards.
They are amazed at our courteous
treatment Of our prisoners OF war.
The Spanish press has eontemptuous-
ly characterized our soldiers and sailors
as american pigs" The Spanish
editors, many of whom never saw an
American, have pictured our officers
with all the brutal attributes of bar
barians. But Spanish prisoners have
found our officers chivalrOus and hu-
name. They find that among the first
concerns of an American admiral or
general after an engagement are the
safety and comfort of the prisoners.
The conduct of the victors toward
the vanquished after the destruction of
the Spanish fleet at Santiago was mag
unanimous in the extreme. Admiral
Cervera was more impressed by the
courtesy of the American feet officers
and their enthusiastic congratulations
than by any other incident connected
with the crushing defeat. He was 80
elated over the generous treatment ac-
corded him that he took especial care
TO acknowledge it in his official
dispatches to the Spanish authori-
ties.
1t IS a pleasure to record the fact that
the American policy of dealing with
prisoners was fully reciprOcated in the
chivalrous treatment Of Lieutenant
Hobson aud his crew of the Merrimac
by both Admiral Cervera and General
Linares.
The Spanish officers at the front know
more than Spanish editors about the
gallantry and humanity Of the Amer
ican soldier. They know that in bat
tie he can fight like demon that
after the battle he can act like a
Christian.

Human Nature to Dodge.

When Dewey was first lieutenant Of
one Of the gunboats which Farragut
used as dispateh-bOat, the Admiral
used often to come aboard and steam
up near the levee to reconnOitre. The
SOutherners had a way Of rushing a
field piece to the top Of the high bank,
firing point blank at the gunbOat, and
then backing down again. Upon one
such occasion Farragut saw Dewey
dodge a shot
''why don't you stand firm, LieR-
tenant? ~ said he; don't you know
you can't jump quick enOugh?"
A day or so after, the Admiral Godg-
ed a shot. The lieutenant smiled and
held his tongue but the Admiral had
a guilty conscience. He cleared his
throat once or twice, SHIFTED his atti-
tude, and finally declared:
"Why, sir, you can't help it, sir. It's
human nature. aud there's an end to- it."
