Sergeant Major starts Injury.

Sergeant Major Starr, of the One-hun-
Observation-Disclosures Indiana Regiment, now
in camp at Jacksonville writes to friends
in this city of the accident which befell
him last Sunday morning during a terrific
windstorm. He says: THE officers tents
were the first to crush under the fearful
gusts of rain and wind. 1 never was in a
hurricane, but L think this approached it
nearer than anything could. The colonel's
tent came down in turn and when 1 went
out to assist in helping him fix 1t / found
him hanging for dear life to the guy ropes.

SOLDIERS COMING EARLY
LARGE NUMBER ALREADY HERE
FOR THE FINAL MUSTER OUT.
Camped Out at Fair Grounds Last
Night-Contract Meals from
Restaurant.

All day yesterday a string OF soldiers
came to the city from surrounding towns
ready to report for their final discharge
from the United States volunteer army. Ali
the men understand that they need not re-
port until tomorrow, but. nevertheless,
they continue to come in advance. Nearly
all Of them bring their blankets wrapped
up in their ponchos and strapped to their
knapsacks. Probably four hundred were at
the fair grounds yesterday. comprising de-
tachments from all the regiments sent out
from this State except the One-hundred
and-sixty-first. Last night most of them
decided to stay at the fair grounds rather
than come into the city and sleep in hotel
bed.
Spreading their blankets in the pavilions
lining the sides of the main driveway they
sat, told stories, sang and finally turned
over to their blankets and fell asleep. So
fascinating has camp life become to the
soldiers that yesterday most of those who
were at the grounds decided to cook their
own meals instead of visiting restaurants.
Accordingly ration details were made up
from among the men to visit the city and
buy what rations were necessary to last
through the day or two they will have to
wait for the rest Of the regiment.
In spite of the fact that there is prac-
tically no one present to place them under
restraint, the men were well behaved and
drunkenness was nowhere noticeable. They
acted in all respects as if they momentarily
expected their superior officers to make
visit Of inspection to their informal camp.
Up at the administration building the Off
GERS of the regular army, including Lieut..
COL May, were busy with the details of
the reception of the troops tomorrow.
Lieutenant Beckers, who succeeds Major
Peterson as commissary, has all his ar
engagements made for feeding the troops.
Unlike other encampments, however, there
Will be no scramble for choice cuts of bacon
All that the men will need to do tomorrow
and during the rest of their terms of serv-
ice is to sit down to table before meal al
ready prepared by the government There
will be no necessity for ration details, for
the government has awarded the contract
to feed the men to local reStaurateur, and
Lieutenant Beckers will simply have to be
on hand to see that the meals are properly
cooked and served according to specifica-
lions.
The case of Harry Mitchell, of Crawfords
vile, who was yesterday transferred to the
City Hospital from the state hospital at
Camp Mount remains serious with little
hope extended by the surgeons for his ulti-
mate recovery. All the other men are ex-
pected to be able to go home with their
regiments when they are mustered out.

that she takes her silver or gold or old

OUR FLAG
To Protect Cuba But u. s. Will
Not Yet Recognize Inde-
pendence.

Washington, April Sat the cabinet
meeting today it was settled that in his
forthcoming message the president will
not make any recommendation looking
independence. The Withholding of this
recommendation is not because of indif-
ference to the Cuban cause. but is based
upon the fact, as the president views it,
that the insurgents have not establish
ed any government of their own, or,
such a government, at least, as would
warrant the United States under the
well defined principles of international
law in taking such step.
1t is urged, in support of this view,
that by recognizing Cuba as an inde
pendent government, the United States
might, under certain circumstances, be
placed at a great disadvantage. In case
this government should take possession
of the island and the insurgents should
see fit to infiict capital punishment up
government or other persons against
whom they might have special enmity,
this government having recognized their
independence, would then be powerlesS
to prevent any action the Cuban gov
ernment might see fit to take, however
repugnant to our sense of justice and
right.
The better and safer way, it is
argued would be for the United States
to take control of the island if necessary
to prevent further bloodshed and ad-
minister its affairs, or at least supervise
it's administration, in the interest of
Justice and humanity until Spain and
Cuba themselves, if possible, have set
tied the whole question.

NO MEDIATION.
Great Britain Refuses to Be a
Party To 1t.

London, April 5.-The movement of
the powers of Europe for a joint offer
of mediation between the United States
and Spain has received a severe and
probably a fatal rebuff in the form of
definite refusal upon the part of Great
Britain to participate in it.
Many conflicting and erroneous hints
regarding this scheme to bring the
Hlspano-American quarrel under the
jurisdiction of the Concert of Europe
have been telegraphed from the differ
ent European capitals. From the high
est authority the Associated Press has
obtained an outline of the details of the
movement as learned by London diplo-
mats.
The project is distinctively of Spanish
origin and was set on foot by two infiu-
ences, official and personal, the former
requesting the good offices of the chan
cellors to prevent war while the queen
regent attempted personally to inf1u-
ence the sovereign
