ABOUT "YANKEE DOODLE"
The Controversy as to its Origin
Has Broken Out Afresh.

A writer in the Daily Telegraph
tells US that yankee Doodle" the In
spring notes of which are likely to be
heard for some time to come in many
strange lands and on the waters of
many remote seas, was originally
"Nankee Doodle' and was written in
ridicule of Oliver Cromwell. Further
more, though upon this he casts
doubts, that the famous tune was COM
posed by q DR.. Shakburg, says the
London Review. 1t would be difficult,
for the doctor, who was q surgeon, wit
and musician in the American war of
Independence, to have composed (plag-
years before! But the photography,
so to say, of the song and tune is far
more complicated. No doubt some
words were sung to the air of yankee
Doodle" in contempt OF the protector
but the air is almost not English at all.
There is harvest song of the German
laborers who yearly migrate to the
low countries which is almost certainly
the origin of the American national
air. In the musical antiquities of Eng
land the very tune Is said to exist
The tune was known also as Lydia
Fischer's Jig" in Charles IFS time.
The only verses belonging to this
real American national emblem are
these imperishable four:
Yankee Doodle came to town
Upon a little pony;
He stuck feather in his cap
And called it Macaroni.
The words cannot be older than the
slang use of the word "macaroni," the
macaronis, the Washers of that day,
dating from ITO to 1875.
1t is, however, the air and not the
words which has made the song world
famous. The great Austrian composer,
Schachner, told the present writer that
no simple musical theme he knew so
lent itself to variations and he proved
the assertion on the piano. The Amer
lean poet, Halleck, testifies to the fact
that Yankee Doodle" is the true
American hymn.

LONDON, June 22.-Dispatches from
Manila under date Of June II say that
Admiral Dewey on Tuesday last re-
ceived intimation that the Spaniards in
tended to make night torpedo attack
on the feet. The admiral sent the Con-
cord and the Callao to forestall such a
movement, and then decided to send a
steam launch past the batteries into the
Pasig river to destroy two torpedo craft
known to have taken refuge there. En-
sign Caldwell, the admirals staff secre'
tary, volunteered to command the expe'
diton.
However, the Callao's preliminary
reconnaissance ON Wednesday so scared
the Spaniards that they sank the steamer
Cebu across the narrowest part of the
river entrance, thus effectually closing
it against even a steam launch, and al
the same time preventing the egress o.
their own torpedo craft.

via the Mole of st. Nicolas, Haiti, June
22.-The feet of United States trans.
ports, having on board 10000 men un-
der the command of General Safter, ar
rived off Santiago dc Cuba at noon to-
day, being exactly six days out from
Port Tampa.
The weather throughout the voyage
was excellent, and consequently there
was little suffering from seasickness.
But IA cases of typhoid fever and some
measles developed, the CORNER being es.
specially on the boats which carried
horses and mules. Surgeons, however,
say the health of the men is unexpect,
edly good.
The first sight of land was obtained in
the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba, and
when the topmasts of the biockading
ships were seen they sent thrill of en-
thusiasm through the soldiers, and they
are now eagerly awaiting the landing
in Cuba.
The men.seem confident of a swift
and easy victory, but they seem rather
to hope for hard fighting.
The heat and long confinement in the
holds Of the transports have told very
severely on the horses and mules, and
many of them died during the last days
of the voyage.

Mark TWain'S Advice.

When in doubt, tell the truth.
Noise proves nothing; often a hen
that has merely laid an egg cackles as
if she had laid an asteroid History
is better than prophecy; in fact his
tory is prophecy; and history says
that, where weak and ignorant peo-
pie possess a thing which strong and
enlightened people want, it must be
yielded up peaceably. Honesty is the
best policy, but sometimes the appear
ance of it is worth six of it. We can
secure other peoples approval if we do
right and try hard: but our own is
worth a hundred of it, and a way has
been found out to secure that. Truth
is stronger than fiction, but it is oblig-
ed to stick to possibilities; truth is
not Man is the only animal that
blushes-or that needs to. The man
with a new idea is crank, until the
idea succeeds. Let us be thankful for
the fools; but for them the rest of us
would not succeed. When people do
not respect us, we are sharply offend
ed; yet deep down in his private heart
no man respects himself. There are
several good projections against temp
tation, but the surest is cowardlce.
Grief can take care of itself; but I'd
get the full value of joy, you must
have somebody to divide it with.
