4MAJOR MAC" THEIR MASCOT.
A Fine American Eagle i'm Possession
of St James SOuare,


of st. James Square.
There was howl of agony from a dog
in st. James square yesterday. 1t tore
around the square, rushing between the
tents and yelping as though in great dis
tress. Astride its back was an eagle, one
of the pure American variety. It's claws
were firmly fixed in the dogs back, and
its wicked looking talons were ready for
a plunge into its flesh when a lieutenant
came to the rescue and grabbed the
eagle as its canine prey rushed by him.
The dogs record as a runner will never
be surpassed. A jack rabbit never lop-
ed over Texas prairie with greater speed
than the dog exhibited as it tore out Bar
nard street toward the commons.
Major Mac" as the eagle is known,
is the special pet and mascot of Company
/, Fourth Illinois, which is camped on the
west side of the square in front of Odd
Fellows Hall The major is the finest
specimen of the American emblem that
has been seen in these parts She for
the name is a misnomer as to sex, is well
groomed, strong and active, and while
not inclined to be at all vicious, has pow
er enough TO whip the biggest and worst
dog that invades her territory. Mac, y

A pole has been put in position about
four feet above the ground and there she
perches and plumes her feathers in the
warm sun, occasionally dropping to the
ground for a stroll over the grass. One
wing is kept clipped close
enough to permit the bird
to fly up to her perch. but no

MARCHING WITH GOMEZ.
Mr.. Fiint's Book Describing the Pres.
ens War in Cuba and Its Horror.
From the Sun.


Grover Flint, who was the first reg
ular American war correspondent in
Cuba to visit General Gomez of the
Cuban army during the present war,
has written a book, entitled March
ing with Gomez" and published by
Lamson Wolfe & Co. In il Mr.. Flint
gives many pen pictures of Spanish
cruelty, and describes in detail the va
rious officers of the Cuban army and
their manner of fighting, as well as
many instances of the cowardice of the
well-ar Spaniards, who are repeat
edly put to flight by the poorly armed
Cubans.
Mr.. Flint describes Gomez as "a lit
tie gray man whose clothes don't fit
him and whose figure looks old and
ordinary. But" he says, "the moment
he turns his keen eyes on you they
strike like a blow from the shoulder.
You feel the will, the fearlessnees and
the experience of men that is in those
eyes, and their owner becomes a giant
before you"
Gomez, Mr. Flint describes as a strict
disciplinarian, and above all an uphold
er of the law of the Cuban republic,
own men who break it. He hates cow
ards, and will not tolerate avoidance
of fight by Cubans with arms. Here is
the report of one interview that Gomez
| had with major at the head of some
| well-armed Cubans. Mr.. Flint was

The major-About fifty, my general.
Gomez (raising his voice)-Answer

The major (embarrassed)--Jus fifty

Gomez-Are your men well, in good
health; have they ammunition?
The major-Excellent, my general,
| with some forty rounds per man.
Gomez-How near does your family

The maJor-Two leagues, my general.
Gomez-Go to them today. Prepare
your equipment; turn over your men

morrow l will send you to Pinar del

GOMEZ AND sCOVEL.
An Incident Which Reveals Charac.
teristic Traits of Beth.

From Grover Flint's Marching with Co
mez.
Mr.. Scovel, who made the invasion
with Gomez and saw more of him than
any other correspondent, played a part
in a scene that opens another side of
Gomez's character. 1t was in the days
doubt, and Gomez. probably under
great pressure, gave loose rein to his
always fiery temper.
Scovel had won the confidence of both
the general and his staff. He heard
the whisperings about the campfires
and saw the sullen looks. One day
Scovel wrote a letter to his paper. 1t
recounted in glowing colors the sue
cesses of the march and the hopes of
the insurrection. He closed somewhat
as follows:
THE success OF Cuban arms depends
upon the unity and cooperation of the
rebel forces. The temper of the COM
mander-in-chief has lately become so
uncomfortable as to endanger good
feeling among the officers and act as
a disorganiZing element; but surely the
old commander, who has given the best
years Of his life to the Cuban cause,
will restrain himself in time"
Scovel handed this letter to the in
terpreter to translate aloud to the COM
mander-in-chief, and sat down nearby,
nerving himself for a hurricane. At the
closing passage the old general, whom
no Cuban had ever dared criticise to
his face, became aspen with rage. He
listened with every muscle taut, while
the interpreter hesitated, mouthed and
stammered over the closing lines.
There was moment Of silence. Then
Gomez arose. He went over to where
Scovel still sat, put one arm over his
shoulder and patted him, while mois-
ture welled under his spectacles and
one tear slid down his furrowed cheeks
to the white mustache. Gomez ordered
an assembly, and as publicly as he had
reprimanded others he apologized to
his officers in the presence of all the
forces
