TO ACT AS NURSES.
Suggested That Soldiers Recovered
from the Fever Serve In This
Capacity at Santiago.

In consequence of the light which
Lieut.. Col. Nicholas Senn's letter shed
upon the yellow fever situation at San
tiago, Surgeon Gen. Sternberg has
formulated a plan which will aid the
medical corps in caring for sick SOL
diers. Through Secretary Alger Gen.
Sternberg sent the suggestion to Gen.
Shafter that soldiers who have recov-
cred from the fever be detailed TO nurse
and care for their stricken comrades.
Once having withstood and recovered
from the disease, victims become i'm
mune 10 the fever, and hence would
not be in danger while nursing their
companions.
If Gen. Shafter sees fit TO follow out
this suggestion, Gen. Sternberg is con-
fident the medical corps will be able
10 check the spread of yellow fever, for
just as many soldiers recover each day
from the disease as are attacked by it.
One hundred and twenty-five immune
nurses and G5 immune doctors are now
on the way TO Cuba, and Gen. Sternberg
states that 25 surgeons and so nurses
will leave for Santiago in few days.

AS for myself and Miss Bronson do
not like to say very much, for Miss
Bronson is now the wife of an Italian
nobleman, and am welded TO an Amer
lean noble woman. IL must suffice for
me to say, without entering upon any
details whatsoever, that while we
never needed the kindly Intervention
of chaperon we sometimes detected
in the lady's remarks upon social OBJ
servances, or the lack of them, certain
illusions which under ordinary cir
cumstances we might have construed
as personalities.
But il must be confessed that while
we all felt the iron hand beneath the
soft glove of our chaperon, the glove
was so very soft and fitted so well that
there was no resentment of il any
where. Furthermore, the young ladies
were in sense grateful to her. They
had come upon the little inland voyage
fully expecting to be called at an early
hour in the morning to set things
straight in the cabin. They were go
ing off on a cruise, and they naturally
expected to find certain little pleas.
antly unpleasant duties TO be per.
formed, such as trimming the wicks OF
the cabin lamps, or dusting the chairs
or moving an occasional flake of cigar
ash from the piano top; but from the
beginning TO the end of the cruise
nothing of this kind was exacted OF
them. Breakfast was served at nine
and it always happened that when
breakfast was over the young ladies

simple reason that Mrs. Tissington had

To this Mrs. Tissington, with ad-
mirable self-possession, replied:
1T is not necessary, my dear. am
used to housekeeping, and you are
not" And then remembering that she
was a chaperon, she added: "And, be-
sides, If you will sit up late you must
get your sleep at the other end of the
night. Don't bother"

CHAMPION OF THE cUBANS.
Reverend Gentleman, Who speaks
from Knowledge. Says They Are
Capable Of Self Government.

Rev. Henry j. Becker. general trav-
Young Mems Christian association, has
just returned to Cincinnati, o.. from a
tour of the military camps throughout
the south. He says: IL have visited
10000 of the American soldiers in the
camps at Chickamauga, Tampa, De
Soto Park, Cuba Libre, Panama and at
Key West. / have also been among the
sailors and marines of the ships of the
various squadrons that come and go
from the great supply station of the
government. have also had numerous
interviews with leading Cuban pa
triots, soldiers and statesmen. among
them being lnfante, patriot IF Havana.
Col. Bose, chief of the staff of Gen.
Gomez; j. NJ. Gown, secretary of the
Cuban junta at Key West, and John F..
Jova, United States vice consul of Sagua
la Grande. They are types of the intelli-
gent Cubans, who desire independence
from the yoke of Spanish oppression.
The statement made by certain Span
iards and other symsathizers that the
Cubans are incapable of self-govern-
nient is false, and should be set aside
as one of the numerous attempts of the
enemies Of our government 10 subvert
the cause of freedom and thereby gain
selfish ends for greed and glory. The
Cubans are an industrious, peaceful and
sober people who want a government
like our own, government by the peo-
pie, for the people and of the people,
Such government they have the cour-
age and ability TO make and maintain" :"

sively throughout Cuba, and has for
many years been a very close observer.

of us noticed it at the time, but we did
later on.

Miss Hawkins, and ever after went his
way in peace, and to my knowledge has
not seen the lady since.
With Parker and Miss Remington it
was different. They corresponded for

where to such an extent that il is diff
ficult to-day for either of them to re-
member the other.

saw her picture in yellow journal as
one of the American girls who had
married abroad, she did not find me
absorbing.
Mrs. Tissington said good-by to us
all with an affectionate fervor which
at the time did not seem warranted
by any known circumstance, and Tenn
pleton shook us by the hand and hoped
we'd "join him next year"
Now. this seems a very commonplace
sort Of a story, and truly 1t is so. But
IL must be added that after Ii was all
over, just 4S hours after, the engage
ment was announced of "Mr. James
Templeton and Annita Anne Tissing-
ton, widow Of the late Horace Tissing-
ton, Esq, of New York city"
Even this seems commonplace under
the circumstances, until ii is narrated
that at a dinner recently given by my
wife and myself to my former host
and chaperon, Mrs. Templeton confid-
ed to the real head of the household
not myself-that her courtship was
most romantic.

TAX ON MONEY ORDERS.
standing Leads to a Double
Payment.

The revenue act which took effect
July / prescribed a government tax of
two cents on each United States postal
money order. Instructions were is
sued in advance to all money order
post offices that this tax was to be col
lected, not by affixing stamps TO the
orders, but by charging two cents to
the buyers of money orders in addition
to the regular fees, this two cents, TO
be accounted for separately by post
masters TO the auditor for the post of
flee department, and the gross amount
of the collections, estimated at half a
million dollars per annum, will BE
transferred from the postal revenue
to the internal revenue fund quarterly
by the auditor. In spite of the plain
instructions sent out money orders
are now coming in to the auditors Of
flee with revenue stamps affixed. Some
of them have evidently been affixed
and cancelled by postmasters, others by
purchasers of money orders. Still
others, and most numerously, by
payees when they receipt for the mon
ey. All this is double payment of tax,
for the selling postmaster will in every
case be required to account for two
cents on each order sold. No revenue
stamps are in any case to be attached
to United States postal money orders.

When the naval auxiliary fleet goes

Capt. ]. II. Bartlett, it's chief, is anxious
TO thoroughly reorganize the service,
and this is about the only reason the
fleet is being kept up. Secretary Long
is doing everything in his power to aid
the captain. Five vessels of the aux
Hilary fleet are still to be commits

Canonicus and Mahopec, the yachts
Shearwater and Sylph, and the torpe-

COLLECTOR WOOD TROUBLED.
Why Orders for War Revenue Stamps Are
Not Promptly Filled.

Col. Wood Of Portsmouth, collector of
internal revenue in this district, is in
q peck of.trouble over the war stamps.
He is daily b sieged with letters and per-

stamps, but he cannot begin to supply
the demand.

dreds, daily said Col. Wood to an inter-
viewer, Wednesday. "They come by mail,

BOARD OF TRADE.
Regular Monthly Meeting of Board OF
Managers,


There was little of Importance before
the stated meeting of the managers of the
Board of Trade yesterday morning.
The matter of the Express company in
this city exacting one cent to be deposited
with every package delivered for carry,
as payment for the internal revenue re-
quired from the company was discussed
and viewed to BIO an unjust way Of re.
curing the general public to pay tax
manifestly intended by the law for the
express companies to pay themselves, but
no action was taken as it was thought
that this and other crude constructions
of the internal revenue will soon be salts
faotorially reconciled. The secretary was
requested to gather information of the
practice and requirements of express COM
paniee as to stamps in Boston and else
where.
President Boothby reported that agree
able to request at the last meeting, he had
addressed the secretary of the treasury
asking that collector of internal reve.
nue. be located in Portland, but that he
had received no reply as yet, the delay
no doubt, being on account of over
whelming business just now with all the
departments.
The president stated that he had con-
ference with Mr.. Osborn Hows of Boston,
about addressing members OF the Port
land Board upon commercial reciprocity
between the United States and Canada,
which he hoped to bring about as soon
after the vacation season as o good at
tendance would likely be assured.
