VESUYIUS GETS IN.
Her Officers Declare That the Cruiser
is a Success.

New York, Aug. 27.-Admiral Samp-
sons squadron down the bay has been
increased by the arrival of the Vesu-
vius. The dynamite cruiser-hurler of
earthquakes, as the Spanish christened
it-came up from Guantanamo, Cuba,
whence she sailed on August IS, under
orders from the department to proceed
to New York.
The excursiOnistS down the bay quick
1y recognized Lieutenant Commander
Pillsbury's boat and crowded about
imme diateIy after it came to an anchor
off ThompkinsvilIe. Only the booming
of great guns was lacking to make the
welcome complete, for there was a, dip
ping of flags, and whistles and horns of
all kinds made a terrific noise.
The Vesuvius officers were proud of
the way their boat behaved in the bonn
bardment of Santiago's defenses.
Its guns were effective in their
work." said Commander John E. Pills
bury. You can say the Vesuvius is
a great success added another officer.
Twenty-six shots in all were fired by
commanding the entrance to Santiago
harbor. They contained charges of
gUncotton varying from 100 to 200
pounds.
AS to the alarm the Vesuvius' shots
created and the damage they caused,
abundant evidence was obtained from
captured officers and men of Cervera' 8
fleet. Captain Cancas of the Spanish
flagship, the Maria Teresa, told Com
mander Pillsbury that one of the We
suvius' shells struck the barracks be-
tween the lighthouse and MORO castle
and killed over 100 soldiers.

ALL KISS SCHLEY.
Women, Old and Young, Swarm
About the Admiral.

Washington, Aug 27.-Admiral Schley
received a great demonstration at the
navy department today. He came to
the department quite early and after
call upon Acting Secretary Allan he
emerged from the main door of the sec
retary's office. His presence in the
building had become known, however,
and as soon as he was seen, cheers rent
the air from the clerks, who had as
sembled to catch a glimpse of the hero
of Santiago. The officers and clerks
from the navy state, and war depart
ments crowded the corridors leading up
to the navy department until it was
impossible to pass through. They
crowded around the admiral, eagerly
reaching forward to shake his hand.
The lady clerks were even more demon
strative and the admiral was kissed by
old and young without discrimination.
It was finally necessary to form line
and pass the crowd around through the
large rooms of the secretary's Office in
order to give them a chance to shake
hands with the admiral.
Many prominent army officers took
part in the the demonstration. The ad-
miral finally escaped into Captain
CrowninshieId's office.
Admiral Schley will leave Washing
ton this afternoon. He expects to sail
for Porto Rico next Wednesday with
the Military commission

AUNT JAMES eeHONEY."
A CoIored "Auntyo Gives Assistance
to Mrs Thorpe.

Old Aunt Jane Davis, 70 years Of age,
has taken a wee baby to raise. She
is as proud of it as the fondest mother
could be, and she is tender and careful
in her treatment Of the little friendless,
homeless Waif
Old Aunt Jane is a coIored "aunty''
who was born in the Indian territory
the date of her birth. When young
she was stolen by Tennessee men and
sold into slavery. Aunt Jane got into
trouble not long ago, but it more
through ignorance than meanness. She
had a lunch stand and when trade got
poor, she was advised by some people in
her neighborhood to set up a. glass of
beer with a lunch. She did so, and
trade increased. Chief Strauss heard
of it, and her arrest and conviction fol-
lowed. She served some time in the
city Jail and was released when the
council heard the real nature Of the
case.
It was while she was in jail that a
tiny waif was brought to Police Mat
ron Thorpe and left. The baby was
three weeks of age and more dead than
alive. 1t was too weak to take nOur-
ishment from a bottle. The mother
was an unfortunate country girl who
left her home in an adjacent county
and came to Topeka to hide her shame.
Mrs. Thorpe helped the girl all she
could and provided care and attention.
Since the child was born, the mother
will have nothing to do with it, and
nothing was left for Mrs. Thorpe to do
but to care for it temporarily.
It never rains, but it pours. The lit
tie half-Starved Waif was commanding
a great deal of attention when another
Waif was brought to police station and
abandoned to the tender mercies of

TO SQUEEZE WEAK LINES.
Passenger DifferentiaIs Ito Be Abol-
ished in the East

Farmer, of the Trunk Line association,
says that he has received word from
the general passenger agents of the
more important lines that the abolish
is being considered, but the matter has
not yet come before the association in
an official manner. The passenger
agents of several of the big lines met in
this city Wednesday and discussed the
matter but whether they decided upon
a definite line of action is not known.
The meeting was of considerable i'm
believed the agents are nursing what
may develop into a sharp fight be-
tween the strong and the weak
lines. If the plan that is in the air be
carried out all differentials between
New York and Chicago and st. Louis
will be abolished and the weak lines
will be forced to charge the same fare
as the great roads.
