regiments and these also expect to soon
be sent across the ocean. An especially
rigid physical examination was made of
the Colorado troops by Lieut.-Col. 6ppin-

said to have been very satisfactory. The
Nebraska men were also carefully scan
ned. The men of the Thirteenth Nebraska

now being supplied with substantial camp
fare. The alleged action of the governor
Of Kansas in Withholding the arms and
equipments of the departing volunteers
was strongly condemned in a resolution
adopted tonight by the building trades

Recruits are presenting themselves for
admission into the Fourteenth infantry

Tenth Pennsylvania has caught the fancy
of visitors to the camp. Its appearance
and strict discipline attract much atten-

in for large share of popular approval.
AS for the Seventh California, its officers
and men from the southern counties have
been made at home ever since their ar
rival in San Francisco. The Sixth Califor-
MIA is still at the Preside, where the boys
are perfectly content to remain, hoping
soon to occupy the barracks vacated by

MISSION OF "DoN QUIxoTE ,
Written to Kidicule Absurd Stories o1
Chiva1rv

OAAVd1Iy
The object of Cervantes in writing don
Quixote" was, as he himself declared, to
render abhorred of men the false and alb
surd stories contained in the books of chiv-
airy. The fanaticism caused by these ro-
mances was so great in Spain during the
sixteenth century that the burning of all
extant copies was earnestly requested by
the cortes, or legislature of the realm. To
destroy passion that had taken such deep
root among all classes to break up the only
reading which at that time was fashionable
and popular, was bold undertaking, yet
one in which Cervantes succeeded.
No books of chivalry were written after
the appearance Of don Quxote," and
from that time those In existence have
been steadily disappearing, until now they
are among the rarest of literary curiosities.
This romance, which Cervantes threw so
carelessly from his pen, and which he
only regarded as an effort to break up the
absurd fancies about chivalry, has now
therefore become the oldest specimen of
romantic fiction and one of the most re-
markable monuments to genius.
Ten years after its appearance it's author
published the second part of Don Qui-
xote," which is even better than the first
1t was written in his old age when in pris-
on. and finished when he felt the hand of
death pressing cold and heavy upon him.

KEY WEST and TAMPA
MEN WAITING FOR ADVANCE
ON CUBA
Some Transports Are Ready and the
Captured Spanish Ships May
Easily Be Utilized

KEY WEST, Fla, May 26 copyrighted,
1898, by the Associated Press )-Yesterday
soon after the sailing of Rear Admiral
SIMPSONS squadron, Commodore Schleys
squadron having gone to the south of Cuba
a day or two before, there were left al Key
West seventeen vessels of war, these con-
sisting entirely of converted tugs and aux
iliary gunboats of small size, but consider
able fighting power.
Far back In the harbor are the captured
Spanish vessels swinging at their anchors
and atfording the sailor man happy pros
poets of a large prize fund.
The prize vessels constitute fleet almost
as formidable as that now waiting at Port
Tampa to carry the troops to Cuba, and in
view of the fact that these 27 transports can
only accommodate from $4,000 to 10000
army men are wondering If the Spanish
steamers might not be made available for
the purpose.
The work Of fortifying Key West has gone
along rapidly. The old fort, to be sure,
with it's ancient Cannon" is of small ac-
count, but the new fort Is of substantial
character, and will mount some formidable
guns. Already one S-inch rifle has been
placed in position, and others are rapidly
being placed.
All night long the great searchlight on
Fort Taylor sweeps the horizon. Other
searchlights on the warships are constantly
at work. many boats being utilized in night
target practice.
At Tampa there are about IL, 900 regulars
and as many volunteers. The southern
portion of Florida is beginning to realize
how difficult a matter 1t Is to supply this
of vii
saries and comforts Here at Key West
after dry season of five months, the rain
has come at last and renewed the drinking
water supply.
AT Tampa they are tenting in the sand
hills about the town, strictly disciplined,
kept closely to regulation diet. with. not
much amusement, anxiously awaiting the
order to move on Cuba. This, 1t is general
ly believed by army men, will not be tried
at an early date, for there is, first of all, the
"state of Florida expedition" to be heard
from, an expedition to supply Gomez with
arms and ammunition.
Additional thousands Of troops are to be
mobiized in Southern Florida, and the
question of properly arming them has be-
come, it is said, of no little seriousness.
AT Key West the troop ship Panther,

several weeks the arines sHeltered under
the burning sun in their close quarters
Finally they We're sent to camp ashore.

Bismarck Well Supplied With Cigars

Prince Bismarck has been exuberantly

months. Each of the 12S cigar factories in
Havana manufactures special article,
which it calls Bismarck cigar" In eighty
of these factories these cigars are alike in
shape and size, but in the other forty-eight
factories forty-eight different sorts of Bis
marck cigars are produced. An admrer of

each variety made in Havana, and for

TALK ENGLISH
Spanish Pronunciation Is Far From
Popular

There is a clerk in one of the big offices
in this town who is chock full of lore and
learning. He is a college graduate, and
he knows enough about the pronunciation
of Spanish to say Don Quixote in the
proper way-that is Don Kee-ho-ty. Other
names also fall trippingly from his
tongue. All this wisdom however, got
him into trouble few days ago, when
he wanted to show off before the boss.
One of his side-partners spoke of that
well-known port, Don Juan, and he pro-
nounced 1t just as it is spelled.
"Ha, ha,' snorted Smarty. don't you
know what that place is? It's Don Wan.
That's the way they pronounce 1t in Span
ish.
"I don't know" said the other, in a
meek and humble tone. rather thankful
that he had been posted, ''but I never
studied Spanish.
mo, nor you don't want to-" said the
boss Spanish don't go around this office
in any shape or form. And look here" he
said to Smarty, don't you work off any of
them Spanish LIMOGES around here. When
you speak of San Juan you call it that.
And when you say Porty Rico you call It
Ryeco and not Reeco, See? Why if some
of my country customers come in here and
hear you getting off that Spanish brogue
they would leave the shop and never come
back until the war is over You wrap all
that knowledge you have and put it away
with camphor balls until we get Cuba, Por-
ty Ryeco and all them other islands. Then
you can spring your knowledge, but in the
meantime don't forget that this is America,
the home of the free and the land of the
brave, where nothing goes that tastes, or
looks or sounds Spanish. That'll do for the
present. You can resume your work If you
please"
Then the young man who had most meek
ly received his first lesson in Spanish pro-
nounciation took long breath, laughed to
himself, and became real chesty for the
rest of the day.-Cincnnati Tribune.
