Continuing, Lord Wolseley said: ut

New York, May PA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Another call for volunteers is under
serious consideration by the military
authorities, although it may not be
issued for at least a week or two, or,
at any rate, until the invasion of Cuba
has begun and the necessity for addi-
tional troops is clearly demonstrated.
The difficulties of arming and equip
ping many of the soldiers already
mustered into the service are rapidly
disappearing, and from the expert
ence gained in the recent call army
officers are satisfied that not more
than month will be consumed in
mastering an additional $4,000 men,
and that in this time equipments
could be prepared for that number
The unexpected and extraordinary
drain on the regular and volunteer
force by the Philippines expedition,
necessitating at the outset $4,000 men,
together with the prospect that Spain
will not be influenced by European
powers to abandon her futile strug-
giles, but will wage war until her re-
sources are exhausted, Is causing the
military authorities considerable anx-
iety regarding the sufIiciency of the
armed force of the government for
carrying out the responsibilities which
have been undertaken.
The simple task of freeing Cuba has
been increased, through the necessities
arising in the Philippines and through
the probability of being compelled to

Many public men are beginning to
express the opinion that the forces
of the United States will be as diff
cult to withdraw from Cuba as those
of England have from Egypt, although
there is no modification up to this

| Special TO the Register.
Sistersville, w. Va, May A.-The
intelligence Of a white-capping affair
which occurred couple of miles be-
| low tbs city night before last, has just
been received here. The best report
obtainable Of the affair is that Marion
Shreves, who has been living in the
Anshutz farm, which is operated by
the Carter Oil Company, has been liv-
irg with Mrs Grey for some time.
A couple of months ago Shreves went
to the home of the Grey woman and
after staying there short time he and
the woman told the husband he would
either have to leave or they would
send him to place where it would be
impossible for him to come back, and
as result the old man was compelled
to hunt new home.
There have been stories afioat for
some time regarding the actions Of tho
man and woman. and night before last
just about the time the neighbors had
decided 10 take matters in their own
hands. a party of masked men, who are
supposed TO have come from the Ohio
side of the river, went to the house
where the couple were staying, and
calling Shreyes out, they proceeded to
chastise him in the way approved by
the white-cappers all over the coun-
try.
AS soon as he made his appearance
at the door he was seized by the mob
and hurried a short distance from the
house by a part of the crowd, while
the rest remained on guard. Shreves
was compelled to take off all his
clothes, and then he was severely chas-
tissd by whipping with bundle Of
switches. He was then taken to a
nearby tree ard hung Up by the thumbs
for about ten minutes.
While he was hanging up by the
thumbs the crowd went back 10
the house, and taking the woman out
into the yard. they proceeded to use
the switches on her and gave her a good
trouncing. She was told that unless
she behaved better in the future and
kept Shreyes away from the house she
would be visited again and instead of a
whipping she would be tarred and
feathered.
Shreves was finally cut down and
started down the road ahead of the
crowd He was warned not to stop
anywhere, but to keep straight on and
told that if he was heard Of In the
neighborhood within twenty-four hours
he would not be treated as leniently
the next time.
For some reason the story of the
matter has been guarded very closely
and it was only by accident that your
correspondent was able TO get hold of
it, Among the few who know 1t the
general opinion is that both the man
and woman only got what they de-
served.

Prevention is always better than

But so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act of that instinct OF self

vented and is often cured by the use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.

about thirty miles from the point where
the former Spanish warship Maria Te-
resa was supposed 70 have foundered dur
ing a storm The stranded steamer may
be the warsfip or one Of the army trans
ports.
Newport News. Va. Nov. THE United
States collier Leondias arrived at Hsmp-
ton Roads today. She started from San
tiago with the Maria Teresa, but lost
track OF the cruiser and the repair ship
Vulcan and the tug Merritt after the war
blade was damaged during the storm of
the Bahamas. This caused her delay in
reaching Hampton Roads. The Leonidas
went to Norfolk navy yard this evening.
The transport Victor and the collier Pom
pey also arrived in Hampton Roads today.
The transport brought nearly 100 soldiers.
nineteen of whom were sick. The others
had been either discharged or were on
Through. The men who were brought up
on the transport were mostly members of
the Second and Fifth immunes and Fifth
regular infantry.
Norfolk. Va, Nov. THE Vulcan and
Leonidas came into the Roads together
and the former is anchored in Hampton
Roads, while the latter is in the Norfolk
navy yard. Officers from both vessels
give substantially the same story of the
laundering as that given out by lieu
tenant Commander Harris, who was in
vommand of the Teresa. These officers
speak in the highest terms of the brave
and gallant work of the seamen during
the storm and say that officers and men
acted nobly
In the holds Of the Leonidas are q
guns of the destroyed Spanish fleet, rang
ing in size from five to eleven inches.
Some of these are still loaded, as the
charges could not be extracted. The raft
upon which Lieutenant Hobson left the
Aerrimac after he had blown up the boat
in the mouth of Santiago harbor is also
in the hold, though somewhat disfigured
from a shell.
