WASHINGTON, July %. General Shat

troops At Santiago are rapidly iHprov
ing and he said he hoped In the course
OF day or two 70 have them all located
in comfortable camps where they may
rest and recuperate and whore the sick

The general makes no mention Of the
alleged letter from General Garcia 10

ment has come 70 doubt the authenticity
% published stories on this subject.
In reports TO the war department rel
alive 10 the conditions al Santiago Gen
5hafter has thrown some light on tne
difficulties In which certain Of the news

VOWED themselves. From bis report II
would appear that animated by an am
bition 20 take a prominent part in the
important events following each other
in rapid succession at Santiago after
initiation Of the negotiations for the
surrender Of the city a few Of the cor
respondents were guilty Of grave
breaches Of military law. necessitating
prompt, corrective action by General
5hafter
Thus, for instance. Sylvester scovel,
in his efforts TO take part in the flag
raising over the city hall, resisted the
military officers In the execution Of their
duty and even attempted personal ~
sauit upon the commanding general.
This made him subject to summary and
severe punishment, even death, yet
General 5hafter, probably realizing that
ignorance of military law was the ex
PLANTATION Of the action, contented him
self with expelling that correspondent
! from Cuba.
A more serious offense, from the fact
that it might easily have led TO rioting
and loss Of life, was that Of three other
correspondents who it appears by Gen
Shafter report, by circulating milan
atory posters, stirred up the town.
They were likewise deported and as
evidence that he has no i'll feeling
towards the paper represented by them
but desired only to exercise such control
as Is imparatively demanded in the in

The Fleet Horse in Poetry.

Mankind loves the horse, for the
horse has been one of mans most valu-
able aids and companions in all coun-
tries and in all ages. But there are
preferences among horses. Some are
priced for their steady working-quali-
ties-their ability to draw heavy loads.
From time immemorial the quality of
speed has thrilled humanity and found
an echo in many stirring poem. "How
They Brought the Good News from
Client to Ak makes the blood tingle
in ones fnger-tips, and we follow
brave Roland across the dawn-kissed
Belgian landscape with swift anxiety.
When Browning tells us how 'Muley-
keh's" master, rather than win back his
beautiful favorite by defeating her in
the pursuit, shouts to- the fleeing thief
telling him how to call forth her high
estsspeed, our hearts go out to him in
sympathy as his pet steed in conse-
quence vanishes forever from his fond
sight. "Sheridan's Ride" wakes us up
till the thunder of hoofs is mingled
with the rattle of musketry and the
cheer of the rallying troops as the gal
liant commander spurs on to the front.
In other ballads we dash with Kit Car
son over the crisp, dry prairies with the
roaring fre-demon in hot pursuit, or
we shoot our animal in ''Lasca," that
stirring poem by Frank Deprez, and
take refuge from the stampeded cattle
beneath his poor body. #. S. pellen-

tinued playing of the band, so the
colonel directed the leader to hold back
until we got to the top of the hill. He
did that, and as we drew near to the
place of the burial the massive notes
of Chopin's funeral march reverberated
and echoed from the rocks and heights.
1 am not musician and cannot speak
technically of these things, but it was
marvellous occasion. The band seemed
to gather inspiration from the wild
surroundings and such music I never
heard. Then, just when you were
feeling bow great and vast the world
is and how small is man and his life
and how little he has to expect now or
hereafter, there was change from all
that, and sweet scftness rose, and one
could almost see Hope coming up out
of the desert to greet poor, dead Wheel
or. The band marched on to the open
grave and swung around, still playing,
and at that very moment a face ap.
peared above the overhanging promon-
tory ledge, and as we all stood, sur
prised into utter inability to speak or
move, soldier form appeared and
Soulji, head high and eyes wide, walked
into the midst of us.
"Soulji told me on the night before
his execution, four months later, that
he could have escaped, but he had a
soldiers knowledge of the burial serv-
ice of an officer, and he wanted to hear
the band play once more. Lingering in
an unknown cave just over the ledge he
had waited and waiting had been
drawn out of his hiding place by the
irresistible control which governed
him.
Il had already told the jury of this
mans strange influence and had limited
that he wasn't accountable, but they
thought otherwise. That was why
Soulji was frank with me, I Think

THE HARBOR LIGHT.

How welcome Ger the sea that night
The twinkle Of the harbor light;
A star that trembles on the foam ~
With beams Of love and dreams Of home
The bells ring DER the tossing bars
The white sails dipped beneath the stars:
But fairer than all stars or night
The harbor light-the harbor light!
20 sailors singing in the spars
A merry challenge to the stars!
o captain, at whose glad command
Our brave ship leans toward the land!
Within far vine-clad cots Of white
Love hears the sea-bells in the night;
Swift as seagulrs be our flight
Toward the light, the harbor light!'
And swift we sped from storm and gloom
TO smiling shores of light and bloom;
The sorrow of the voyage past
Sang in the joy of Home at last!
Home! where the ships in shelter rest;
Home! where the light-the love Is best;
Over the plunging seas of night
Loves blessing in the harbor light!
o ships that in the darkness roam,
Sweet sing the harbor bells of Home;
Though far the shore-the voyage long,
The dark will drift to morning song;
The bells sing DER the tossing bars
The sails bend sure beneath the stars;
Still-stlll the distant shore we sight
And gain the light-the harbor light!

all predicted great fame for him But;
he died before the boy was born, and
the mother, determining that the great
ness which the father missed should
come to the spn, gave her whole soul to:
the task of forming his nature after the
fashion of what the dead man had hoped
to be. She went crazy on the subject,
and the child was born in mad ouse.
He grew, receptively musical inordi-
nately so-but he hadn't the slightest
trace of the creative power. III
HE told me that my boys mouth
organ had driven all thought of his hos
pital GRAND out of his mind, and when
the sergeant came and interrupted his
devotions he wanted to kill him.
"Well. that's really what happened
later. The band was at practice one
night and Soulji, as usual, was listening.
Lieut.. Wheeler, coming along, called
the man to him, no one knows for what
purpose. He refused to- hear his SUI
perior, and Wheeler walked over to him
and spoke to him again, rather sharply,
I imagine: Soulji turned on him and
beat him to death. When the guard
found him the officer had just strength
enough to name his murderer, and died.

during all that night, the next day and
the following night was thing long to

ways, while Wheeler was beloved Off
GER. The utter lack of reason for the
murder was another infuriating thing.
So, very, very much like mob the COM
mand spread over the country and into
the coke-built mountains and thetold
volcanoes and water-holes and searched
for the missing man. It was all in vain,
however. The morning of the second
day came and we had to acknowledge
that he had got away across the line to
the south. So the chase was discon-
tinued and the command was set in
readiness for giving Wheeler soldiers
funeral. We sought out as favorable a
spot as we could, a sort of sentinel point
above little, scalding thread of a
river, and there, where the only patch
of green in all the area we had trav-
ersed was to be found, we dug his
grave. The, command marched down
