FROM SANTIAGO.

The United States Transport Alamo Ar
rives at New York.
New York, July 31-The United
States transport Alamo arrived at
quarantine to-day with twenty-six pas
sengers from Santiago. The Alamo
stopped at Hampton Roads on the
way north, but was ordered out to sea
to bury one of her passengers who had
died. This man was George Patterson,
a stevedore, who went to Santiago
from Galveston and was employed in
discharging cargo from the Transports
Among the passengers was StOppings
Wright, correspondent Of the London
Illustrated News Mr.. Wright, in COR
versation, said:
I'll is not proper to speak of hard
ships, inefficient commissary and hos
pital service, because this is war and
all it implies. The taking Of Santiago
itself was grand and brilliant. l never
saw the like before. Nothing could
stand the rushes OF the American
troops so full of vim and eager desire
to dislDdge the enemy. But these men
should be relieved as the excitement
is over and reaction will set in. The
men will lose their stamina when the
malarial fevers spread"
Sergeant E. w. Binkley, of the signal
corps, said he was stationed after the
surrender at the cable station to see
that no enc damaged the wires. At
the time Of the assault on Ell Caney,
he was located at the front keeping the
telephone service in order. The men
On the firing line were suffering for
rations, but the refugees who focked
into Ell Caney were supplied one day
with 5000 rations, the next day with
$4,000.
These were promptly sent to the
'front.'" said he, but our boys who
were in the trenches were compelled to
go without. l do not see why the
troops could not be supplied as prompt
ly."

AT CHICKAMAUGA PARK,
The Troops Located There Expect Orders
to Move Soon

ThesTroops Located There Expect Orders
to Move Soon
Chickamauga, Chattanooga National
Military Park, Ga, July 31.-A genu-
| Inc surprise was sprung at Camp
Thomas this afternoon. Instead Of
further troops being ordered out as
might have been expected, Major Cen
eral James F. Wade, commanding the
army at Camp Thomas, was ordered to
report forthwith to the Secretary Of
War at Washington.
In compliance with the order Cen
eral Wade and staff proceeded immedi-
ately to Chattanooga. and left thence
at 10 o'clock for Washington.
There was no indication at Camp
Thomas until late this evening of the
purpose of the order, but it was pref
ty generally interpreted to mean some
thing like what the press reports from
Washington later outlined, and for
this reason the order had the effect
to arouse new hopes among the troops
and especially among those of the
Third corps, who had also come to
think they would not be called for in
the war. General Wade and his staff
will reach Washington some time to-
morrow afternoon.
Brigadier General Royal T. Frank,
U. S. ", commanding the First divis-
ion Of the Third corps. assumed COM
mand at Camp Thomas this evening,
which position he will hold until the
return of General Wade, or until fur
Their orders.
The percentage of sickness at Camp
Thomas, Notwithstanding there has
been rain for a week, continues very
| low.
I, It appears that William Henderson,
7! of the Twelfth New York Volunteers,
| is a deserter, and to deceive the au-
thor;ties. he reported his own death
to the undertaken and to the newspa-
per reporters. Colonel Leonard states
that there was no killing at the rifle
practice of his regiment, Saturday, and
that the man Henderson had not been
in camp for two weeks.

EMBROIDERED N1GHTGoWNs.

An animated discussion took place
at meeting Of the Young Ladies'
Sewing Society at Plainville, N j.,
short time ago. The society wanted
to do something for 'our boys at the
front" and opinion was divided.
Let's make them mending bags"
suggested enc young woman.
ooh, they are such a nuisance!" said
another. Besides, they have their
knapsacks to put all their things In"
Lets embroider some handker-
Chiefs" said a mild-mannered blonde.
"Oh, bother the handkerchiefs," re-
piled a chorus. They've get plenty of
those"
The debate was warm for some ting,
according to one Of those present, until
finally the president cut the GordIan
knot.
III tell you what we'll dog she
said. These poor, dear boys have to
sleep every night in the same tlothes
they wear in the daytime. Why can't
we make them some night-clothes?
So stupid that they hadn't thought Of
that before, they declared one and all.
They promptly got the material and
went to work.

July ed, with one hundred and sixty
two sick officers and men, arrived

cRIGN CT KALAMAZOO.
Pretty Legend That Is Responsible for
the Towns Name.

The name of Kalamazoo, like Osh-
kosh and one or two others, has come
to be to foreigners a synonym OF
American .absurdity. 1t is often chos-
en-, for some occult reason, to illustrate
that form of vernacular English known
as United States"
But all thought of ridicule vanishes
when its romantic origin is considered,
for it is the echo still lingering abou,
the memory of two dusky lovers, who
in that long gone time when Michigan
was the home mainly of Indian tribes
lived and loved on the banks OF the
river which now bears their names.
Kahla, the young warrior, was
straight of limb and eagle eyed, while
to Mahzoo had been given by the Great
Spirit the many graces and virtues for
which Indians maidens have become
noted in song and legend. Life to
these two possessed all the charm
which true affection has ever granted
to lovers, and the days, as they cane
and went brought only unbourding
joy.
Each summer evening. as the twi-
light deepened and the time drew near
for her lovers return from the chase,
the maiden watched from her bower in
the swaying branches of giant elm
overhanging the rivers edge for the
first sign of his coming As the bow
CT his canoe shot round the curve away
in the distance her clear musical voice
called to him: "Kahla. Kahla!" and
from the young warrior came in low
ing tones the response, "Mahzoo! -

BOMBARDED.
The City Of Neuvitas Shelled, Evac-
uated by the Spaniards and Burn.
ed.-.Dstalls of the Fight Are Not
Yet Known.

Key West, Fla, July $3.50 p. NJ
Reports reached here that Neuvitas,
on the north coast of the province of
Puerto Principe, Cuba, has been bonn
barded by the ships Of the blockading
squadron, evacuated by the Spanish
and subsequently, burned. No details
are known and the only information
Of the affair was that given to Capt
Maynard, of the gunbcat Nashville, by
Lieut.. Col. Rojas, of the insurgent
forces at Gibra, last Tuesday. Col.
Rojas had the news at secondhand
himself, although ne carried private
dispatches from Gen. Garcia which
were delivered to the commander of
the Nashville.
The American ships known to have
| been in the vicinity Of Nuevitas lately
are the Prairie and Badger. The latter
captured three Spanish vessels coming
| out of Neuvitas haIbor and took them
to the Dry Tortugas. All were flying
I Red Cross flags, but when boarded
were found to contain a number OF
Spanish soldiers, only three of whom
were sick. The Badger is expected
here shortly. The Nashville reached
! Gibara on Tuesday when she captured
the schConers Gibara and Espresso.
When Ensign Srow left with a prize
crew to bring the Gibara here it had
been practically determined to raise
the American flag over the town. At
that time only Red Cross Society and
Cuban flags were flying, and there was
small question as to whether dissen-
sions might arise between the Ameri-
cans and Cubans in consequence of
| the Garcia-Shafter incident. In such
case Captain Maynard was resolved
to seize and hold the place.

CONFESSED THEIR CRIME.

PORT ARTHUR, Ont, July N.-The
Moss family of Indians from Heron Bay,
who are accused of a number of afro
cious murders, have made a full con-
fession of their crimes. Six years ago
they murdered two men named David,
father and son, and then this crime be-
ing discovered by three Frenchmen, they
killed them as well, taking their bodies
out into Lake Superior in a boat and
scuttling it, after tying stones to the bod
les. They have just been up for their first
trial for the crimes, the story of which
was told in evidence in detail by the sis
ter of the murderers. The confession says
that the story told by the sister is true.
and that the murderers expect to die for
their crimes.

GENERAL WHEELER'S SLIP.
What He Said and What He Meant at
Santiago.


Santiago
Writing of the battle before Santiago
a correspondent of the New York Press
says:
During all the terrible firing of shot
and shell which lasted until darkness
set in. General Wheeler was the only
man | saw who did not dodge or duck.
He sat astride his horse coo!ly giving
orders, chatting with his aids and tax
ing things as they came as an officer
who was lying On the ground re-
marked.
General Wheeler provoked one good
laugh which went all along the line.
Through his glass he saw the enemy
retreating, and he turned to group
of friends and remarked gieefully:
Its all right boys; the Yankees are
yielding"
The little general corrected himself
| when he saw the smile that came and
said:
Il mean the Spaniards, Of course,
gentlemen"

the electric chair at Sing Sing to-day.
His execution is fixed for tomorrow
morning at II o'clock, and today he
was led to the death cell, which is
separated from the execution chamber
by only a few feet. The condemned
man maintained the same calm, unre-
penting attitude that he has held from
the moment of his arrest.

With the running races at the + ait
grounds and three nights boxing
tournament before the B. A. c., this
will be an exceptional week for lovers
cjf sport. Three of the boxers VIII
come from Pittsburgh, and the com
bination OF boxing and racing is ex-
pected to attract a large crowd from
tbe Smoky City. 1t is likely that
number will come down to remain
three days. There will be no races at
the Fair grounds this afternoon me
track has been in wretched condition
from it's use and the influence OF the
rains last week. Several of the run
ners are lame from Saturday S races.
To-day force of men will be put to

is fair, the Wheeling Jockey Cluo
officials expect record-breaklng time
to be made during the week Inc
races will be even better THAN last
week, as the fastest horses On the
grounds have been entered TOT each
day. The officials have finally deter
mined to reduce the price OF admls-
sion to twenty-five cents ms snoulo
popularize the sport, and should re-
suit in an average daily attendance CT
at least thousand.
Manager Oscar Gardner has compaet-
ed his arrangements for the fistlc tour
nament at the Bridgeport Opera House
this week, under the auspices CT the
B. A. C. Each attraction which has
been provided should draw a big
crowd. Tuesday night Eugene Be-
zenah, of Cincinnati, and Louden
Campbell, Of Pittsburgh, will mix mat
tiers for twenty rounds or more. Both
are well known here On Wednesday
night Oscar Gardner will endeavor to
administer to "Yock" Henniger, OF
Pittsburgh a dose of the same medicine
which he gave McClelland On Thurs
day night there will be an argument
between Eddie Gardner and Jack
Kinlow. The knowing ones predict
that Pittsburgh will be whitewashed in
this series of fights. The Pittsburgh
end will certainly not be the favorite
for auy one contest.
Mr.. w. B. Howell expected a prom
ised full explanation concerning recent
base bail deals, ON Saturday. President
C. B. Powker told him to look for a
letter It did not arrive, nor did it
come yesterday. There are some do
ings" in Interstate circles, however,
which make it probable that Wheeling
will yet have an opportunity to enter
the circuit this season.
Leslie Pearce expresses a willingness
to meet Jim Franey, Of Cincinnati.
When the two met during Franeys Wis
it here, Pearce took occasion to speak
his mind to Franey, concerning several
business letters which he wrote, and
which Franey ignored. Franey claim
ed that he did not receive them. Oscar
Gardner heard OF the war of words be-
tewen the two, and meeting Pearce a
little later, promptly made an offer for
a meeting between the two under B. A.
G. auspices. That Gardner is a wide
awake manager. 1t is likely that the
match will be made.

The dinner of the Hibernian Society is

have each claim the honor of having
given birth to Irelands patron saint, but
the bulk of Evolutionary evidence seems to
be in favor of Scotland. His native place
seems to have been Nemthur, now Dunn
barton, then Roman province, and the
date of his birth is generally thought to
have been about A. d. 1916.
His original name was Succath, Patricius
being the Roman appellative by which he
was known, indicating that he came of a
patrician family. Captured by pirates and
taken to Ireland in his 18th year, he was
sold to a petty chief whom he served as
swineherd for six years, during which time
he claims to have been miraculousy con-
verted while tending his fiocks. Effecting
his escape he went TO France, according to
some of his biographers-to England, ac-
cording to others-and prepared himself
for the priesthood.
OF the writings of ST. Patrick, but two
Latin manuscripts have been preserved
his Confession and a letter addressed to
Coroticus a Welsh chieftain, who had cap
tured several of PatriclI's Irish converts
In his confession he tells us that he was
mracuousy called of God in a dream to
the sacred mission of converting the IRISH
a mission in which he was confirmed by
Pope Ceestine.
Returning to ireland, he devoted his life
to the evangelization of her people, and is
said TO have founded 800 churches and to
have personally baptized 12,00O converts.
The date of his death is assigned TO va
rious widely sundered years, some writer's
placing it as early as ass and others as late
as 493.
