noticeable degree of decency; and the majority of the accounts and opinions pub lished in Spain were not as bitter as those in the Austrian press. The majority of the German and Italian papers sneered at the deed openly. The Berliner Tageblatt, for instance, said: Without doubt the sinking of the Merrimac will have absolutely no practical value, and hence the dramatic performance and so-called heroism of Hob- son will fall as flat as it will deserve to fall'
 Another noticeable fact in the opinions of the foreign press is its interpretation of Spanish chivalry" in connection with the episode. In America we have attributed the escape of Hobson and his crew from the bullets of the Spanish to their inability to hit anything. Many of the German and Austrian papers praise the Spaniards for their chivalry in not hitting the men, try ing only to sink the ship, whereby Spain has once more given proof of humanity.
 The Bathurst Times of New South Wales, the New Zealand Herald, the Daily South ern Cross, of Aukland, New Zealand, and the Argus and the Age, of Melbourne, de- vote considerable space to the story of the sinking of the ship but give little attention to any other phase of the war. The ma jority of the English papers, as is well known, commend the deed as one well worthy of the Angio-Eaxon race The Mexican City Herald says that "Hobson is

 It's pretty rough tale they tell on the Kentucky man who went to big ban quet out of the state.

Alas! MT. Bluegrass was not visible.

When therefore war in Cuba was mem toned it was not wondered that the Unit ed States army felt a thrill of fear at tackling a foe too small to be seen, and too invisible to be felt.
 AN IMMUNE.
 Colonel Hood in his long service along the gulf and southern states had once up- on time got these germs into his system and had yellow fever. How he came out of it alive not even he could tell, for the records show that only one man out of a hundred escapes; but escape he did, and when the war fever took him he felt that he could go to Cuba without fear of talk ing the Cuban disease.
 And then a brilliant idea suggested It. self to him, that he form a regiment of yellow fever immunesl He knew that in short time, should the war be over, it would be necessary to keep an army gar- risoned at NuDa; and for this work no one could be as well adapted as the yell low fever immune.
 He at once paid a visit to Washington and there saw President Mckinley and Secretary Alger Both were fired with en- thusiasm at the thought of an army which could visit Cuba without danger, and In a few days a onl was passed by congress authorizing the raising of an Immune Regiment" The bill was introduced by the house military committee, and provided for the enlisting of a sufficient number

 ments. The membership of each regiment
 limited to ,03S men.
 Colonel Hood set to work to form the
 First regiment The difficulty of it was
 that they must all be volunteers, and all
 of the volunteers must have been through
 a siege of Yellow fever. At last he got

 gathered at camp Caffrey, named after the
 senator from Louisiana, who secured the
 passage of the bill providing for the raising of immune regiments, and there they are now living, waiting for their commission and the order to- march to Cuba. A REMARKABLE REGIMENT. This regiment is remarkable in more ways than one. stranger visiting Camp Caffrey would notice the difference be- tween this regiment and any other It is located almost opposite New Orleans, and from a beautiful point of vantage near Lake Chartran, it temporarily guards the city.

 The Vienna Tageblatt said: "All the pople of the city will rejoice today to know that the Merrimac was sunk. not by Lieu tenant Hobson, as the Yankees would lead us to believe, but by the shells from the Spanish rifles. It is well known here that the Merrimac was sent to the entrance of the channel not to be sunk, but as a decoy and it is further known that Admiral (sie) Schley had all the ships of his squadron ready to follow the Merrimac into the har- bor if she succeeded in running tke chan mel. Thus 1t behooves Us all to rejoice over the fact that not only was the ship sent to the bottom but that she sunk in such a way as to effectually block the channel and keep the foolish American admiral outside. Thus the god of victories has helped to preserve the fleet of the faithful from destruction once more.''

fight a foe unseen and insidious, horrid, hateful, devastating, foe which works in secret and spares few.
 DEADLIEST FOE.
 During the rainy season. which com lnences in Cuba in the spring and lasts until September, the germs of yellow fever are born and grown. They have their be- ing in the swampy lands, and they feed upon the green thick msts. No African jungle has anything more deadly than the yellow fever of Cuba.
 For years yellow fever has been and is the gerat difficulty with which our quar- antine has to deal. Though the quaran- tine is manned by the best health officers of any quarantine service In existence, vet it is eluded every year by these terri ble germs which are carried north from Cuba upon the clothing of tavelers, to become imbedded in the human system, there to grow and work out destruction to the human frame. Yellow fever last year carried off hundreds along the gulf states and was so severe as to be consid- cred a national calamity, calling for the efforts of the Red Cross

manner in which the men take camp life. Necessarily they do their own work, but they do it so gladly and so cheerfully that they seem to be upon picnic.
 Yellow fever has one striking pecu1iarty. Those who have come out of it are sin gularly tranquil all the rest of their lives. Every malarial germ and every latent pois- on in the body seems to be driven out by the fever, or killed in the high temperature, so when the invalid recovers, if recover he does, he is free from every defect of blood or bone. All the evils which be has accumulated in life time are cooked out of him by the deadly heat and his flesh is as pink, and his blood as pure, as that of a healthy, newborn child. With this renewal of strength the yellow fever im- mune commences to enjoy himself. He takes life happily and never knows what it is to be angry. Blues are as far away from his temperament rosy hues are far away from the moonlight gleams. He is sunny, contented, more or less industri- ous, and certainly happy.
 A CAMP SCENE.
 Over the "camp fire'' as the evening semi-circle of warriors is called whether the fire is burning not these immunes, they tell how they got the fever and the horrors connected with it. They recite its humorous side, and there is laughter along with the tears. No one having passed through this ordeal can ever forget it, and

Sometimes at Camp Calf frey potatoes are little scarce, but the itnmunes are just as happy as though they came in barrels, peach blow potatoes washed and ready for the kettle.
 HAPPY REGIMENT.
 This regiment is happier than any other since the days of Nero. when the wicked king appointed private regiment to guard him and told each man to kill the whole world whom he did not like. Each man in Nero's regiment went out with drawn sword and beheaded all his enemies. The immune has already killed that which to an American is a forse enemy than an armed foe, namely, disease, and he has nothing now to fear from it.
 There is another peculiarity of the yell low fever immune-he does not easily con- tract other diseases. Of course he can nev- CT get typhoid or other fever, but there is multipncsty of other diseases which it may be supposed that he would contract, such as pneumonia, rheumatism and other common ills. But the immune seems to be immune from these also and it is rare that he even gets consumption. He dies of old age in time, or enjoys himself to death, but until that day comes he is pret- ty sure to keep his boots on.
 These immunes, let it be known, are men from fine families. Many of them, like Colonel Hoou, are born aristocrats and most of them are patricians; and they come to the camp bound only by one tie, namely that of a fearful fever through which they have passed safely. The false opinion prevailed for a time that the inn munes were a very low class who had been through yellow fever in the tenements of the large cities in which they live, but this is a mistake. It would be hard to find any regiment in the war which is com posed of men of better families than these remarkable yellow fever immunes.

 Arthur Buel Deming of this city has just created a sensation in Philadelphia. On the 4th of July. at the conclusion of Senator Edmunds' speech at Independ- ence Hall, a patriarchal man of com manding presence arose from the front row, and, with gesture, bade the audi ence listen to him.
 The chairman and others who had fought in the second war with Great Britain were too much surprised to re- monstrate. "Sons of the Revolution" said Dening, 'I have come all the way from California to speak to you. My mis- sion is to proclaim the alliance of the Anglo-Saxon races. That alliance is sure to come. My mission is to promote and perfect the amity of our race in the bonds of peace. Such an alliance is absolutely necessary for business, society and re- Hgion."
 After he had left the platform and been cheered by the audience, the speaker said he was A. B. Deming of Oakland. Cal. He said to a reporter: "A man is greatly impressed by his waking thoughts. I was awakened at 4 o'clock on December 20, 1897, by the idea of an Anglo-American race. I formulated a proclamation and mailed copy of it to Queen Victoria.

 sos Broadway, July Il.
 The Southern Pacific Company sent a communication to the Supervisors to-day offering to the County the use of the Alice-street bridge as a means of com munication between Oakland and Ala meda until such time, as the new county bridge shall be built at Webster street. The Supervisors refused the offer.
 The railroad company has almost com pleted It's arrangements for transferring the Alice-street steam travel and the Webster-street steam travel from these two bridges to its new bridge at Harri- son street. Under the old system, the railroad used large part of the county bridge at Webster street and had a bridge of it's own at Alice street Their Harrison- street bridge, which Is now being finished will accommodate all their travel and they must within a certain time entirely remove the discarded Alice-street struc- ture. The communication from Chief En- gineer Curtis to the Supervisors states that after the tracks are taken from the Alice-street bridge, and while the old Webster-street bridge is being pulled down and the new one built. the public could use the discarded bridge if the It was learned that in order to make the Alice-street bridge fit for teaming, after the tracks were torn up, about 5000 would offer was declined by the votes of Roeth Talcott and Wells. Messrs. Church and Mitchell favored the acceptance of the offer. stating that it would be a great con venience to both towns while the new bridge is in course of constructor.
 Nothing Is known at present of the future of Webster-street bridge All the plans. petitions and protests have been forwarded to the War Department. and as Secretary Alger is supposed to be very busy at this time, Alameda County's bridge Is not likely to be considered as an urgent necessity.

MUST PRODUCE A LAST WILL.
Judge Greene Believes Mrs. Bridget Muldoon Responsible for Its
 Whereabouts.

OAKLAND, July 11.-Mrs. Bridget Null doom, one of the devisees under the will of the late Mary Sweeney, which has been missing since the day before the maker S death. was ordered by Judge Greene to produce the document. He did this after the examination of Elijah Foster, one of the executors of the will, Mrs. Muldoon, and Nora Johnson, her sister. Mrs. Mul- doon's son also receives several small Iegacies and a one-third interest in the estate for her support. This led the Judge to suspect that she was making an ef- fort to secure the entire control of thau portion.
 "You will produce that will in court next Monday, madam" ordered the court in his sonorouS tones.
 "But I cannot do SOL announced Mrs. Muldoon in an injured tone.
 "Well, madam, you have heard the in- struction of the court, and you will have the will here at that time" replied the court as he turned to the next case.

Anna Taylors Will.

The Supreme Court has upheld the de- cisfon of the lower court in the contested will case of Anna Taylor The action and appeal were not based upon the usual grounds of fraud or that the deceased was of unsound mind and did not comprehend what she did when making the will, but that the execution of the will was not sufficiently proved The document was made over twelve years ago, and one of the witnesses, named Heard, only remem- bered that he was present when the sev- eral signatures were affixed. many of the incidents having slipped from his mind. The higher court decided that the failure of one witness to remember all that took place on a certain occasion was not sufficient to invalidate the will.
