Tells shafter What He Thinks of Action
of the Americans.
A Santiago special to The New York
Journal, dated July 20, says General
Garcia has written q letter to General
Shafter declaring that he is disguised
at his treatment at the hands of the
Americans and will therefore withdraw
his forces to the hills.
Among the things Of which General
Garcia complains is the failure of the
American commander to officially noti-
fy him Of the surrender Of the Spanish
forces under General Toral
Another grievance is the retention
Of the Spanish civil authorities in the
administration of their functions in
Santiago.

PRESIDENT THANKS VETERANS.
Sends Message to Gen. Gordon Regarding
Reunion Resolutions.


President Mckinley is truly CRATE
full for the sentiments of loyalty and
allegiance expressed by the message
from the confederate veterans sent by
Commanding General Gordon during
the reunion held in Atlanta and has so
expressed himself in letter
The letter which the president writes
to General Gordon is as follows:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
d. c., July 80. To Hon. John B.
Gordon, Commander-in-C Chief United
Confederate Veterans Atlanta, Ga
Dear General Gordon: Your recent
telegram in behalf of the United Con-
federate Veterans was very welcome
and would have written to you before
in acknowledgement, excepting for the
unusual demands upon my time
The present war has certainly served
one very useful purpose in completely
obliterating the sectional lines drawn
in the last one. The response to the
unions call to arms has been equally
spontaneous and patriotic in all parts
of the country. Veterans of the gray,
as we'll of the blue, are now fighting
side by side, winning equal honor and
renown. Their brave deeds and the
unequaled triumphs of our army and
navy have received the gratitude of
the people of the United States.
To have such hearty commenda-
ton from yourself and your colleagues
of the work of this administration in
the conduct of the war and the pledge
Of whatsoever support may be needed
to help in bringing it to successful
completion, is indeed most gratifying,
and I thank you especially for the
frank and cordial expression of the
resolutions passed and forwarded to
me. With very kind regards, I am,
sincerely yours,
WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
The resolutions adopted by the
United Confederate veterans, which
were telegraphed the president and
which were responsible for his letter
of thanks, follow:
Whereas, the United States Of
America are at present engaged in
war with Spain in the interest of
human liberty, and,
Whereas, our comrades and our
sons are members of that glorious
army and navy, the achievements Of
which are now the wonder of mankind;
therefore, be it,
Resolved, "That we, the members
Of the United Confederate Veterans,
pledge our government the support Of
the organization in this crisis Of
affairs, standing ready at all times
with men and money, irrespective Of
political affiliatiQn, to support the
president of the United States as com.
mander-in-chief of our army until an
honorable peace is conquered from the
I. enemy
The passing Of the resolutions was
one of the most significant things that
the convention of veterans did, and
will be appreciated by all patriotic
citizens, who love to know that the
country IS reunited and that the con
federate veterans are as anxious 10
fight for the stars and stripes
as they were for the stars and bars
thirty-eight years ago.

animals may be seen, and their noise
can be heard. for directly they see any
thing unusual they utter a short bark.

TO MAKE OLD FASHIONED SHOES.

A plan long discussed in Lynn. Mass,
great headquarters of the shoe in
dustry, has at last come to a head. and
within short time one Of the old
fashioned. ten-foot shoe shops, in which
the first Lynn shoes were made, will be
fitted -eutwith all the tools formerly
used in shoemaking and set up in some
public place, where the rising genera
tions of Lynn may see how the shoe
trade was carried on in the early days
OF the industry.
There are several of these old ten-foot
shops in Lynn in a fair state of preser-
vation. Some of the most prominent
families in Lynn have old shoemakers'
benches which have been handed down
as herlooms, and several will donate
them for the use of the Lynn Historical
Society. which is the prime mover in
the matter. The entire cost of fitting
out the shop will be borne by the So
cety. and probably all the expense OF
maintaining it.-Boston Transcript.

INDIAN SIGNAL SERVICE.

Travellers in uncivilized countries
have often wondered how some savage
tribes were able to transmit news for
hundreds of miles with no apparent
facilities for doing so. An interesting
light is thrown on this subject by Jose
Bach, who tells of the means by which
the Indians on the Amazon commune

sons, i'm settlements half a mile or a
mile apart In each dwelling there is a
wooden drum which is buried for half
its height in sand mixed with frag-
ments of wood, bone and mica, and has
n triple diaphragm of leather, wood
and rubber. When this drum is struck
with a wooden mallet the sound trav-
els far. and is distinctly heard in the
other drums in the neighboring dwell
ings.

the communication is facilitated by the
nature of the ground the drums doubt

through ordinary alluvial earth could
not be depended upon. This method

Seymour, Ind, Nov 14.-Last night a
masked and armed mob took out of Jail
John Baird, a colored Democratic stump
speaker who had been imprisoned on the
charge of obtaining money by false pre-
lenses. Once outside the mob beat him
with sticks, pounded him over the head
with revolverS and ordered him to leave
town at once. Instead OF obeying the
order he went TO the prosecuting at
torney and sheriff for protection. Half
an hour later he accompanied the sheriff
and posse in search for memSers of the
mob. 1t Is not known whether or not
the assault upon him was inspired by

what If less merited would be termed
the most cXtraNagant praise ever ac-
corded TO a performer in his line of
work, and whose wonderfully daring
and sensational leats have created a
perfect furore i'm Boston and New York
where his act alone has been sufficient
20 crowd the houses day after day dur

THE Great Caicedo' is the title under
which he is known throughout Europe,

crowned heads by special request, the
Prince of Wales and the Car of Rus
sia, each having invited large gather
ings of the nobility 10 see his marvellous
feats.
Caicedo is the only successor of

and slack-wre performer; but his dar-
ing feats are said far to surpass in sem
sational interest those OF the man who
walked on "A wire across Niagara Falls;
AT Keith's New Theatre this week he

edly "A safe prediction that thousands

This one engagement is all that this
community could ask fulflllment of Mr..
Keiths promise 10 provide at his new
theatre the same class of entertainment
as are given to the people of the largest

includes Mr.. and Mrs. Charles 7. Ellis,

ers will attend in a body with their la
