Spanish Smokeless Powder

Among the soldiers who were returning from Cuba yesterday was Private smith of the First United States cavalry. and he told a dismal tale of his war career.
 At the outbreak of hostilities he enlisted in the army at his home at Cleveland, O., and was sent at once to Cuba By the time he arrived at Santiago he was pretty sick. and was put in the hospital there with A severe case of typhoid fever. All during the battles of the last of June and the first of July he was lying on his back fighting death, while his comrades were out fighting Spaniards.
 Smith did not see any of the fighting for himself but he heard many stories iresh from the battlefield as the wounded men were brought in. He said that nearly all the men discarded every vestige of cloth- ing they possessed except shoes, leggings, drawers and hats and, armed witt can teen. cartridge belt and rifle, they stood in the battle lines.
 Smith said that the only thing that the American soldiers feared was the smoke less powder when they first sa@ it-or rather failed to see it-coming from the Spanish rifles. They would hear a report LID on the hill and an American would drop punctured by Mauser bullet. "Where must we shoot?" some private would yell.
 "Yonder they are up in the trees" "No, they're not; they're behind that clump of bushes"
 So that there was nat.si,rTss.stto % do but fire in the sdirection from which the Spanish h111Ats were supposed to be cor'''g, and
 \e forward until the enemy could be seen. 7-- e z---- s = ------- And that's what they did.' said Smith. '. it

 Cubans Want Annexation
 'The better classes of Cubans undoubt- edly want their island to be annexed to the United States as they realize the dangers of republican government composed of such primitive inhabitants as live in many parts of Cuba.''
 Major Smith thinks that one of the very best results of the war has been to wipe out all sectionalism. He is a native of Vermont. He Is a rank "imperialist" and doesn't fear that Germany will meddlie with any of our Philippine plans. He says Emperor William knows better than to wilfully engage his army of linen ma chines'' with the dashing army and navy of the United States. all of whom are vol unteers in the strictest sense of the word even the regular army.
 Major Smith is on his way to St. Louis on business for the government. As soon as this is completed, he will return to Cuba.
 And now," sai, Major Smith, as he climbed lack on his ttain, while have great liking for newspaper men, l had better take measures to prevent my faii- ing into the hands of any more Of you re- ptrtcrs in thc cities north of here;' and with that he took off his peculiar military blopse and nut on a citizens coat of black alpaca.

After Death.

1t is very singular how the fact of a
mans death often seems to give people a
truer idea of his character, whether for
good or for evil, than they have ever pos
sessod while he was living and acting
among men. Death is so genuine fact
that it excludes falsehood or betrays its
emptiness 1t is touchstone that proves
the gold and dishonors the baser metal
Could the departed, whoever he may be
return in n week after his deceas Sc he
would almost invariably find himself at Il
higher or lower point than he has for
merly occupied in the scale of public APP

the purpose of this article to consider She
