think the United States should demand
an enormous indemnity and use any
necessary measures 10 collect it with

be employed with Spain in matter Of
this kind. No amount OF money can
pay for the lives lost, but the American
people will demand some heavy com

rest until they get it, The time has
come for decisive action

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S.-Facts were !

action could be taken.
Adm Sicard's board has ample au-

will recall the Indian exhibit or en-.

pond. One of the tents or wigwams
was occupied by an athletic and fine
looking but somewhat taciturn specimen
OF young Indian manhood as his own
particular home, and while it was Open
at all proper hours for the inspection of
visitors he resented any approach to i'm
pertinent curiosity.
A bcvy of young women dropped into
his tent ono day before his usual hour
for opening it and found him sewing
rent in a blanket.
"See how he bushes, exclaimed one
Of the visitors. "Wo have caught him

why, that's his natural color, " gig
gled another. "He always bushes"
eyes, young ladies'" said the Indian
in perfectly good English, "he bushes

ed white Americans of the nineteenth
century,"
The visitors joined him in blushing
and shortly afterward went out without
further enthusiastically Companion.

Chlckamauga, Aug. 12.-Preparations
TO comply with the order issued from

plan OF dividing the army, but it now
seems that the decision of the war de-
partment Is positive and interchangeable
The plan Of General Breckenridge anG
MS officers was to reduce the size of the
army by sending the brgades to various
places In the mountains around Chatta
nooga. and 1t is said that one place had
already been selected before the Wash
ington orders were issued.

The General VIII Probably Leave Cula M
Soon as His Troops Have Departed.
Washington, Aug. 12.-Several impor-
tant developments in the military situa-
ton in Santiago are expected to grow
out OF the creation Of new military
department, including the surrendered
territory IN eastern Cuba. The depart
ment Will OF course be temporary one.
maintained only until such time as the
cuban government shall have been in
stalled. Meanwhile the administration
OF the military government by the Unit
ell states Will be facilitated by the nav
geographical department.
The appointment of Major General H.
w. Lawton to he commanding general
OF the department Of Santiago will of
course lead to the withdrawal of Cen
eral Shafter from the city and provinc es
as soon as the whole of his comma nd is
Withdrawn.
AS some troops will be maintained for
garrison purposes, however, it would lie
entirely appropriate for General Shafter
TO remain in Santiago in command of
tnls part of his corps in the same way
that General Merritt remained in the
department Of California for some time
