who brought down an extra company FOR the
3D. thus making one more than the required
number and requiring division among the other
companies, retired to his tent without word to
the other officers, who were standing before the
men anxiously waiting for one more man to be
found. Hope was almost gone when from the
tents OF the Sd an erect figure came striding
toward the line. When he came in full view
some said: IT'S Captain Beyland.' The
young man marched up to the line OF privates
and silently but determinedy took his place in
the ranks He had cut off his shoudersraps
and he took the oath as a private.
This noble act thrilled the men, though there
was no demonstration Of approval from these
military men. Speaking afterward of Captain

highest terms ut Is just what we might have
looked for in man like Beyland,' said the

And fresh-born from the womb of night
The starry playmate~ rush.

The gbomes and nymphs resound:
And Wooings, from the Great Unknown
The sternest hearts confOund.

And siren voices, whisper sweet,
And murmur words Of cheer.

Are sympathetic souls in fight,

WAR NEWS SUMMARIZED

Reliable war news has been scarce
article during the greater portion of the
week owing to the strict censorship whic h
the government ia maintaining at Key
West. At the present time it is pretty
generally believed that Admiral Cervera
with tue Spanish Cape Verde fleet is in
the harhor of Santiago de Cuba closely
watched on the outside by our warships
under the command of Schley who it is
claimed has them completely bottled. A
late dispatch from Madrid states that
this same fleet is on it's way to Manila
via the Suez canal, but this report is not
credited.
Sampson is off Havana harbor with his
powerful feet and the impression is
pretty general that an early BON bard
ment OF that city will take place. Orders
have been issued to cut the telegraph
cable connecting the island with Spain
and the general bonn bardment will prob
ably follow Immediately.
The Oregon has arrived safe at Key
West after her long trip around Cape
Horn and has reported herself ready for
duty.
Arrangements for transporting troops
from San Francisco to Manila have been
going on all week and at the present
are already on board that ship and her
lines will be cast off as soon as few
more stores and ammunition are loaded.
Other vessels have been chartered and
about $4,000 troops all told have been
selected to go. The Charleston with a
few reinforcements is already on her way.
Plans have been completed to transfer
the monitor Monterey to Manila. Owing
to her limited capacity for carrying coal
she will have to be towed nearly all the
way or coal at sea.
General Merritt is on bis way from
Washington to San Francisco to assume
command in person of the department OF
California. In selecting his forces for the
occupation of the Philippines the Wash
ington regiment of volunteers has been
omitted and the third battalion under
Col. Wholley has been ordered to Van
couver, Wash.
The president issued proclamation
yesterday calling for $4,000 more volun-
teers This will make the total army
strength, regular and volunteers, 2S0,-
900 men.
