so strong was his love for his chosen pro- fession that he was induced to identify himself with the National Guard of his native State. He remained in the guard for five years, and his record with 1t was a brilliant one. He was assistant ad- jutant general of the First Brigade of the State and also inspector general upon the now famous staff of Governor Hill, and he was also colonel of the Twelfth New York Regiment

out the county road Friday and partake of coffee and lunch in San Leandro. In discussing the effect of camp life on the men, Captain Lyon expressed the idea that a march to some given destination and return would be of greater value than considerable less work done on the parade ground.
 The suggestion was quickly taken up and arrangements made with the San Leandro ladies to serve the men with a lunch on their arrival. All day the ener- getic workers there have been busily en- gagged, under the leadership of their act ing president Mrs. Bailey, and Mrs. Mill Ter, in getting together necessary ma terial to feed hundred men. When Captain Lyon went to the colonel the latter refused to allow the men to take the march, although Captain William S. Barnes had Company C of Petaluma out to Elmhurst on similar expedition. It was agreed that the matter might be taken up next week. Under the circum- stances there was nothing to do but write and inform the ladies that the visit must be postponed.
 Captain William $. Barnes with Com pany c of Petaluma, marched out to Elmhurst this morning instead of talk ing the regular company drill. Charles Taube of the Arlington entertained the tired, dusty and thirsty warriors to their perfect satisfaction and presented the command with a large live American eagle.

OAKLAND, July .1S.-The last section of the train bringing the New York troops reached Sixteenth street station at o'clock tonight. As it was too late for them to cross the bay the train, which consisted of twenty-four cars, was sidetracked at Sixteenth street station.

 Since the beginning of the war many tributes have been paid to the discip- line and loyalty of the troops going to the front, but no organization of sol diers in the field or in garrison is com posed of better material than that em- bodied in the Fourth Cavalry. Every troop of the Manila command contains the full complement allowed by law During the past month many applica- tions for enlistment, sustained by high influences, have been rejected. In the two troops performing duty in the Vel lowstone National Park there are sev- eral vacancies, but every troop at the Presidio is recruited to the maximum and good men desiring to enlist arc turned away every day. Many of the recruits accepted since the beginning of the present war belong to families well known in the country and some of the youngsters are sure to inherit fortunes if they safely pass through the ordeal of conflict.

History Repeats Itself.

The st. Louis Republic indulges in
the following remiuiscence:
Just three hundred and ten years
ago this month, Spain planned an at
tack on England, and the famous Ar
mada was formed. On the 29th Of
May, 1888, the great feet, consisting
Of l29 large vessels, carrying IS, ,295
soldiers, s, 400 sailors and 2,43l cannon
sailed from Lisbon. On the 29th Of
July it reached the English channel,
and arranged in the form Of a crescent.
Meanwhile England had massed a
large feet under command Of Howard,
Drake, Hawkins, Frobisher and others
and at once forced the attack Then
as now the Spanish guns shot wide Of
the mark, while the English guns did
deadly work. Running short Of am
munition the English smeared eight
ships with pitch and filed them with
combustibles, set them drifting toward
the Spanish feet. Alarmed at this,
the Spanish cleared the channel and
sailed for Lisbon BY the way Of the
North Sea. But ere long they were
caught IN a terrible storm and many
Of their vessels were wrecked on the
shores Of Ireland.
History repeats itself Spain seems
to be again massing her feet for a
crushing blow. The Cape Verde feet
is reported TO have returned TO Cadiz
and it is known that she has several
other ships ready to sail. If it be her
purpose to risk all in supreme en-
gagement, then let her beware. The
chances are there will not be one ship
left to tell the tale, and Spain will be
a nation without navy.

To Float Over MORO Castle.

There was an unusual scene in the
ante-room o: the War Department at
Washington the other day when DEL
egatiou of veterans from T. NJ. X. Lee
Post, Of Merchantville, y. J., present
ed Secretary Alger with a large and
handsome flag.
The flag was bought originally by
the Corn Exchange Of Philadelphia in
1861, when a regiment OF soldiers was
enlisted under ii. After the war was
over this flag was given to Alexander
Catell, a personal friend OF General
Grant. Subsequently, the flag was
purchased by George W. Algoer, OF
Merchautyille, and was presented at
the latters suggestion to the Secretary
as g,tt from the citizens Of that
place
The presentation speech was IN de
by Past Department Commander Hen
~ /. Hartshorn, who referred to the
services Of Secretary Alger while COM
manier-iu-chiet Of the Grand Army,
and in conclusion asked that he direct
that the Aag be the first to be unturled
on Moro Castles flagstaff when Cuba
comes into possession OF the United
States government.
Secretary Algel made feeling re-
spouse to the address. lie felt sure,
he said, that wherever the flag hoated
it would be guarded, carried and sup
ported 10y the American soldiers Sac
rlhces would be made, but blood shed
| in the cause OF humanity was well
shed, and our troops would pass over
the rampant Of the enemy and would
be victorious. The Secretary con-
cluled substantially as follows.
u thoroughly believe that an over
ruling Providence Is placing this bur
den upon the American people Oar
country has taken up the cause Of
humanity and it will not lay down IT,
arms until Cuba is free and govern
ment of the people and by the people
is there established. thank you for
the flag and will direct that 1t be
raised over Moro Castle when it is in
our possession.

officers and Privates.

There came near being an unpleas-
ant scene in camp today. Private
John Heicght, of Company c, Four
teenth Regiment, who lives at 81 st.
Mark place, Brooklyn, received word
today that his mother had a stroke Of
paralysis and was dying. His sister
came to camp with note from DR..
Charles Smith, in which he SAID that
Mrs. Heights life might be prolonged
if she could see her SON In great dis
tress Heicght went to Col. Grant and
asked permission TO go home. He
would not stay more than forty-elght
hours, be said, and if the regiment
moved before that time he would fol-
low it at his own expense and join 1t
as soon as possible. Col. Grant abso-
lutcly refused to let the man 80 home.
"Very well, said Height; 81 shall
60 anyway. ! have passed my e1aml-
nation and stand ready to fight for my
country, but if my dying mother wants
to see me she shall.
Captain" said Col. Grant to Capt.
Avery, the mans commander, "cut
this mans buttons off; take away bis
stripes and have him drummed out Of
camp in disgrace"
When the regiment heard the story
it resolved, in the event Of Col. Grant
sticking to his determination, to cheer
Heicght out Of camp. The drum and
bugls corps resolved not to play the
"Rogue's March, and Capt. Avery.
after studying the regulations, decided
that be had no authority to take the
buttons and stripes from the man. 50
be went and shook hands with Heicght
and gave him a suit Of citizen clothe,,
which the man donned. After the
mastering in Of the regiment the men
gathered around Heicght's tent to see
what bad happened. They had made
up their minds to carry the man who
was supposed to be going out in dig
grace to the picket lines on their shoul-
ders and then send him of with
cheer. Col. Grant changed his mind
about letting Heicght 60 home-toward
evening, much TO the relief Of his off,
cers, who saw the drumming out deyel-
oping into triumpbsl march and
Height into a hero instead Of dis
graced man. Heicght will not return
to camp. The position in which he
was put led him to resign the moment
be was informed that the requested
leave Of Absence had been granted
