BULLETS FOR THE MAN WHO
KILLED A NURSE.
A Trial in the Woods, No Mercy, and
a Court Martial with but One Judge
-Perils of the Wartime Nurses - No
Merc- for Outlaws. "

General Gomez and several officers
Of his staff were taking their after din
ner nap, when there was commotion
In the thick chaparral, between them
and the narrow, rugged road which
runs all the way from the mountains
to the western coast OF Cuba
With a rush and a swish a dozen
men plunged out of the bushes.
The newcomers had with them fet-
tered prisoner-a tall man with dark,
stern face, who wore the uniform of
Spanish captain. Gomez looked at
him curiously as he listened to a
whispered report from Vando.
Then he frowned and his eyes fash
I'd fire.
"Carrajo!" he hissed between his
teeth. "A good days work, Vando.
III not forget it."
What can we do for Captain Lo-
pez?" asked General Gomez
Release me, restore my weapons and
my horse" said the prisoner. Il was
on a peaceful mission, visiting a sick
friend, when your men ambushed me
on the road. They have treated me
with great indignity."
1T gives me great pain to refuse
your request" replied Gomez, "but we
have given your case careful consider
alton for the past six months, and the
main OBJECT of our recent scouting eX-
petitions was to capture you. You
see, captain, you are not an ordinary
guerilla. You have a gang of the worst
eut-throats and robbers in all Cuba.
All your work is done in the dark.
You destroy the homes of peaceful
farmers, murder and rob prisoners, as
sault helpless women, and Captain
Vando reports that when you were
captured you had on your person the
watch and the handkerchief of Red
Cross nurse, young woman who was
outraged and murdered by you and
your rufiians two nights ago.
1T is lie!" shouted the Spaniard
Il found the handkerchief in the road
the watch l bought from a soldier"
Mistakes will occur in war times, ;"
answered Gomez calmly, "and l may
be mistaken now, but l am willing to
swear to the truthfulness of Vando's
report"
Il must go with you, then, and be
tried by court martial, l suppose?"
said Lopez.
"You will be tried by court martial" ;"
responded the general, smilingly
Your trial is in progress now. This
Is court martial.

in Washington, outranking any Of the
ambassadors of the great countries Of

upon him the highest diplomatic hon

HOW A SAILORS WAGES GO.
Jack Squanders His Hard Earned Money
Sometimes by Proxy.

Sometimes by Proxy.
What do the Jack tars in the navy
do with all their money? has often
been asked, although most people have
answered the question to their own
satisfaction beforehand by deciding
they spent it the first chance they got.
Many of the younger or newer ones do
get rid of their cash at the first op-
portunity, but they spend it them
selves, and get their moneys worth,
or what they think or are made to be-
lieve is their moneys worth. Those
who are really warm in their follow
ing seldom take all their wages from
the paymaster They let him keep it
during the cruise and draw per cent
interest on it until the cruise is over.
Then, of course, some spend it all be-
fore they go back to the ship. They
have good time all in a lump and
are satisfied to wait for extravagant
days again until another cruise is
over. These are the men who have
no one except themselves to care for.
While on the man-of-war they need
not go short of anything and yet not
use their money. Moreover, they will
probably attend to their duties better
and have a much finer time when the
cruise is at an end. Those who have
wives or families or relatives to care
for usually send their money home
regularly ard faithfully. Often, how
ever, their confidence is meanly
abused. Married men make up this
class. They send their wives COM
Portable incomes, and that is all these
wives care for them for These are
the wives who married simply for what
there was in marriage in money
way, with the additional advantage or
convenience of not having a husband
around much. Unluckily for women Of
this class, not all jack tars can main
tain wives. Only chief petty officers
or first-rate petty officers can afford
the luxury Of marriage, and even they
have to watch out pretty keenly not to
impair the due to their better halves.

The most ancient method Of making
ice appears to be that practiced in
India. Holes are made in the ground,
dry straw is put at the bottom Of these.
and on it, at the close Of the day. are
placed pans of water, which are left
until the next morning, when the ice
that is found within the pans is col
lected. The industry is carried on
only in districts where the ground is
dry, and will readily absorb the vapor
given off from the water in the pans
The freezing, of course, is due to the
great amount of heat absorbed by the
vapor in passing from its liquid to its
gaseous form.

Franco-Prussian war, he entered the
diplomatic service of the republic as
an attache Of the governor general OF
Algeria. On the recommendation OF
General Chanzy he was made in 1878
the prefect of the department of Con-
stantine. He was largely instrumental
in Transforming Algeria to a civil from
a military colony, and was highly hon.
ored by General Chanzy, who regarded
him as one of the ablest diplomats in
the French service. On his return to
Paris he was intrusted with several
important missions of state, all Of

THE ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.

E have opposed the annexation ot Hawai-, and \AI reasons, published in these columns,
 have never been answered neither ill the Sen ate in the annexation press.
 When annexation was attempted by treaty, 1t failed. By the method provided by the constitution and the only method so provided, it impossible of ac- complishment Its opponents having beaten 1t on the only field provided by the constitution, had right to expect that its proponents would submit to the law of the land. Instead of such submission they have chosen to override that law and to win outside of it, by methods which have sanction in the constitution and which were not even defended constitutional grounds by those who used them.
 Naturally a proceeding SO begun and policy ac complished by such means must go on in the line of its projection. Our taxpayers at com peled to pay the debts of the Dole government and to put up $Iooooo to pay the salaries of commission which is to provide and recommend to Congress such form of government as the Commissioners think proper The appointment and payment of such com mission has sanction in the constitution, and that instrument provides the only form of government and forms of authority and Jurisdiction which the United States exercise As the report of commission is to supersede the constitution the form of government it may provide is problematical at present.
 What 1t is likely to be may be surmised by the ac ton of the Senate Flushed by their successful breach of the fundamental law the annexation Senators gave us glimpse of what is to be their amendments which offered to safeguard the rights of the peo- pie of Hawaii and protect white labor and its wages These Senators refused the ballot to the native born Hawaiians and to naturazed aliens. They refused also to repeal the contract labor laws in force in the islands. Panoplied in these sinister shadows ereignty extended over Hawaii, but not con- stitution and system of equal laws created by it. Our flag by law unfurled to the eyes of people for the first time in its glorious history to signify their disfranchisement and degradation and to take their brthright Its folds utter in the tropic gales over contract labor laws which with their penal clauses, set up system of slavery open to ob jecton than that which the Civil War destroyed.
 But power without respect for the constitution of the country regard for the consistency of its policy has taken autonomy away from Hawaii against the protest of o8 per cent of the people while the moment Americans dying of wounds and fever to punish Spain for denying to Cubans the rights we have taken away from Hawaiians. As we stood for those rights while the constitution barred the way their destruction, accept what is in the expectation and for the purpose Of aiding in securing for the peo pie of the islands good a form of government as can be had, albeit outside of the constitution

A FITTING CONCLUSION.

N SSOC1ATED PRESS dispatches up the proceedings of the closing day of the session of the Senate these words After halt- dozen objections had prevented the consideration of the bill permitting volunteers at the front to cast their votes for members of Congress, Thurson secured the adoption of a resolution for the appointment of a committee of fifteen Senators to attend the Trans Mississippi Exposition at Omaha stated day. Then, at I:o5 D. m, motion of Allison, the Senate went into executive session. At minute of 2 o'clock the executive session ended and the doors were opened for the closing legislative session" It will be that the incidents of the day small. None the Jess, they significant. The Senators unable to find time to pass the bill authorizing volunteers at the front, or in muster camps to at the coming elections, but they did find time to authorize junketing expedition of hf teen of their members to the Omaha exposition, where
 they will be neither useful ornamental and where they might as well have gone on their money as at Uncle Sam's expense
 The junketing expedition is trAing matter. In the general run of Congressional rake-ofs from the treasury 1t is almost too small to be noted The re- fusal to pass the volunteer suffrage bill is the other hand, gross wrong The men who have vol unteered to go to the front will take earnest
 interest any other class of citizens in the issues of the coming campaign for these likely to be closely related the conduct of the war; and 1t is therefore grave inj justice to deprive them of the right and privilege of casting vote for the election of Con- gressmen.
 During the Civil War the troops at the front were permitted vote; and the precedent should have been followed in this Had the Senators been in sym pathy with the measure and willing to arrange for the soldier it would have taken but little time do so The bill already before them It had been duly passed by the House It could have been adopted in less time than required to adopt the unketng bill The only possible conclusion from the
 facts, therefore, is that the Senators for reason desire to disranchse the volunteers and determined to carry out the desire by indirecton.
 It was fitting close for session of the Senate marked by few incidents which can be recalled with satisfaction, and by many of the opposite character As little possible for the soldiers the people and the country, but much possible for the Senators and their friends, to have been the policy of the session throughout We have been called upon by the President to give thanks day for victories in war. Let also give that the Senate has adjourned
