Delay In Sending Troops to Cuba.

Col. Warnings death has been the
dominant factor in the change of plan
on the part of the administration as to
the time of the sailing of the United
States troops for Cuba. 1t is recalled
that three persons who went with the
commission to Havana and had been
quartered under the best auspices have
died. 1t is not contemplated that the
day of taking formal possession OF
Cuba will be postponed beyond Dec. 1,
and Jan. l has been fixed upon as the
limit within which the evacuation
must take place, but the authorities dc
not seem in such haste since the dan.
gers to our troops have been SO clearly
emphasized.

Our Splendid New Coast Defenders.

The Walker Manufacturing Co., Of
Cleveland, has just finished the first OF
the IL carriages for the disappearing
guns, for which it was awarded the
contract last April by the government.
A test shows that everything about
the big machine works with tho
smoothness and accuracy of clockwork.
The carriage weighs 1900 pounds
and the gun $4,000 pounds, but the gun
is so balanced that it can be operated
by hand If necessary. When finally
mounted, however, all its movements
will be controlled automatically, ex.
cept the loading and aiming. The
Walker Co. expect to finish carriage
every 80 days until all are completed.

OF INTEREST TO CYCLISTS.
A Great Wheelway being Constructed
from the South Miohican Line to the
Straits of Mackinac.
ceived an Invitation and not Yet
Responded should Do So at Once.

Probably one OF the greatest move
ments ror the benefit of the cycling pub
lie is the building OF the State bicycle
path, " hich Is being costructed from the
sonth line Of the State to the Straits OF
Mackinac. Work has been commenced
In the vicinity of st. Johns, and Is pro-
crossing finely, and from appearances
this great enterprise will prove 4 success.
The money to defray the expenses OF
constructing the same 10 being mostly
raised by the chain-letter system, and Is
meeting with the hearty support OF the
cyclists In general. The letters are now
reaching the home office Of the associa
tion at the rate of 200 per day, and con-
tain from ten cents TO one dollar. III the
present ratio in the increase Of the letters
contin ues, IL is expected that by the first
OF the year the volume will reach several
thousand per day. The officers hope to
have sufficient funds on hand at the
opening of next season to place gangs OF
men all along the route, and push 1t to
completion In very short time.
The secretary reports that about one
third of the cyclists recommended In the
chain have not as yet responded, which is
probably due to neglect on the part OF
recipients, for we do not believe that any
cyclist would refuse 10 contribute TO 30
good a cause. Hence II you have re-
osived one OF the chain letters, and have
not answered, do 80 at once, thereby
doing your part toward this great enter
prise. On the other hand IL you have
not received an invitation TO contribute
and feel like placing something In this
fund, just send ten cents or more as you
wish, together with three two-cenl
stamps and the names and addresses oi
three cycling friends lin different states
preferrsd) to G. w. Krathwohl, Sec.
Springport, Mich.
1t Is very pleasing to note that the cy
clists from all over the United states are
contributing to this fund, and demon
stratss the fact that cyclists are always
awake to anything that will advance thu
pleasures of the wheeling public. AL
contributions should be sent to Q. w
Krathwohl, Sec. State Bicycle Path Assn

DISABLED IN CUBA.
Warrior of 40 Years Forced to Give
Up His Command.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-'Never during the 40
years of my service in the army of the
United States have I undergone such
hardships as faced on the march from
Baiquiri to Santiago de Cuba
This is the statement made by Colonel
Augustus Hudson cambridge, who COM
man6ed the Fourth infantry in the battle
of FL Caney. Yesterday Colonel Balm
bridge returned to his family at Fort Sher-
idan, broken in health as the result Of the
exposure he encountered on the battle
department to sanction his retirement
from the army. General Shafter ordered
him to return home, and he will not again
return to active army duty unless ordered
to do so by the war department.
The eleventh day of the present month
will close Colonel Bainbridge's fOrtieth
year of service and will end career of
military life which began as a private
in the ranks before the rebellion, cOnun-
ued through the Indian wars and until he
earned the title of colonel less than two
months ago.
Colonel cambridge left Fort Sheridan
with the Fourth infantry April 10 and
went to Tampa as lieutenant colonel with
Colonel Hall. May q he received his last
title and took command of the regiment.
From that time until the fall of Santiago
he marched at the head of his regiment
in spite of white hairs and advanced years
and was unwilling to ask for retirement
until the stars and stripes were floating
over the cuban city;
From the time he landed on the island
June %, he was without horse, and was
compelled to endure the tedious marches
rapidly and it was this which caused
General Shafter to order him back to his
post. Colonel Bainbridge passed through
all the fatigue of the invasion with his
the conduct of both the regulars and vol
unteerS.
