THIRTEEN-Y EAR-OLD BANDIT,
Read Trashy Literature and Made a
"TerrOr' of Himself.

GOUVERNEUR, N. Y, Aug. 2.-Destine
Powers is the thirteen-year-old son of a.
respectable family who reside near Oswe-
gatichie Crossing, hamlet thirty-two
miles south of this village. He has read
much trashy literature. and one week ago
to-day started out to make a mark for him
self as boy terror of the south woods
Edna Perry, aged twelve, went to a near
berry field, accompanied by her brothers.
When the girl was left alone Powers at
tackled her. He proposed to carry her
away to his den and make her bandits
bride. The child's screams brought aid
and Powers fed to the woods. He went
to nearby farmhouse, from which the
family was absent, broke in and stole a
Winchester rifle of large caliber and some
cartridges. A short distance down the
road he fourd a buggy and good team, of
which he took forcible possession.
Young Powers drove the team about the
townships of Fine and Edwards, running
the horses. He terrorized people along the
route by threats to, shoot them. He was
finally captured by strategy. Powers broke
down and made under oath what purported
to be a confession, in which he implicated
Julius Bemus and a man named Boyd Both
were arrested. and villagers who believed
Powers'S story proposed to lynch them The
three prisoners had preliminary examina-
tions yesterday, and after a long croSs-ex-
animation Powers declared that the men
were innocent. They will be held for the
grand jury.

MURRY-ELSTON.
The Call.

The clouds grew dark the people paused,
people of peace and toll.
And there came cry from all the sky:
Come. children of mart and soil,
Your mother needs you-hear her voice;
Though she has not to spare
She has spoken the word that We all have heard.
Come, answer We everywhere!
They need no urging to stir them on
They yearn for battle-cry.
At the word that their country calls for men
They throw down hammer and scythe and pen,
And ready to serve snd die,
From the North, from tie South, from East,
from West
Hear the thrill of the rumbling drum?
Under one flag they march along,
With their voices swelling a single song
Here they come, they come, they come!
List the North cheer the men from the
South,
And the South returns the cheer
There is no question of East or West.
For hearts are atune in every breast,
'Tis nation answering here.
1t is elbow to elbow and knee to knee,
One land for each and for ALL
And the veterans eyes see their children rise
To answer their country call
They have not forgotten-God grant not so!
(Ah we know of the graves the hlD.
But these eager feet make the old hearts beat,
And the old eyes dim and NIL
The Past sweeps out and the Present comes,
A Present that all have wrought
And the sons of these sres, at the same camp
fires,
Cheer one flag where their fathers fought.
Yes we know of the graves the Southern hills
That are filled with the Blue and the Gray.
We know how they fought and how they died
We honor them both there side by side,
And they re brothers again to-day,
Brothers again-thank God on high!
Heres a hand-clasp all around)
The sons of one race now take their place
on one common and holy ground

WILL REMAIN INTACT.
The Gould Millions Not to Be Divided
when Frank Becomes of Age.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2L-There is no
foundation for the report that the Gould
estate will be divided when Frank Gould
the youngest son, reaches his majority.
One OF the attorneys for the Goulds said to-
day that Frank Goulds coming of age next
month would have no bearing at all upon
the estate save that Miss Helen Gould
would be relieved of her duties as guardian
of Frsnk, and that the use of the estate
Lyndhurst, at Irvington. would then come
under the general provisions of the will.
The lawyer added that the estate was tied
up in the control of the trustees, who are
also named heirs, except Daniel S. Mil
viii not be disposed of without the consent
OF the trustees.
The estate, which was originally divided
into seven life interests, was made into six
life interests after the death of jaw
Gould. Mr.. Gouids purpose was to keep
the estate intact, and that each heir should
receive the life interests during his or her
life. Each heir may bequeath his interest
TO his or her heirs. The trustees named
Gould, Howard Gould and Edwin Gould. In
the event of vacancies in this list the will
provides that Howard Gould upon reach
ing his majority and Anna Gould now the
Countess Castellaine, may succeed. In the
event of a dispute as to the disposal of the
securities four of the five trustees are to
rule by vote. Frank Gould is a bright
slim of build and fond of athletics. He has
been educated by tutors in the Berkely
School and at the University of the City
of New York.

PICTURE of MISERY.
Scenes During the mbarlxatiOn of
Snaniard Mt Santiago.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. e.-Since the
surrender of Santiago one thing has been
uppermost in our minds. namely, the health
and condition of the brave American sol
diers who fought and were victorious. This
is very proper, as the men certainly deserve
whatever can be done for them on this
score. In consequence of protests from
commanding officers, the orders from Wash
ington as TO the disposition of the army
were changed, and our troops are embark
ing daily for the health-giving breezes of
the north
To-day the first of our Spanish prisoners
were put on board the transports we have
hired to take them home. Ten thousand of
these men have been in camp for more than
three weeks. just outside of the city limits.
They were much nearer to the palace than
our own men. they were our prisoners, and
we, one and all. avoided the roads that led
near their camps because of the vile odors
that arose therefrom. To-day. as the Span
iards passed through the city on the way
to the docks. we saw sights that brought
tears to the eyes of men who are not readily
moved to tears. Down on the docks, in
narrow strip of shade from a warehouse,
some two hundred Spanish soldiers waited
orders to move on TO the lighter which
would convey them to the much-talked-of
Spanish hospital ship Alicante. These men
were chin and of sickly pallor. hollow
checked, weak and thin.
I'VE are the well men who have brought
the sick into town litters.' they ex-
planned.
Down on the wharf, being loaded on the
steam lighter Bessie. were long lines Of
stretchers. each with its pitiful burden.
Faces that looked like deaths heads. every
line OF tho skull marked on the yellow skin.

LANGTRY THE CAUSE.
Alleged Facts Regarding the Princess
of WaIes's Huff.

NEW YORK, Aug 2f.-The Worlds Lon
don CORRESPONDENT says: The Prince of
Wales may visit the United States again.
The Post-Dispatch correspondent inter-
viewed in an indirect way the equerry of
the prince to-day on the subject. He did not
deny that there was a strong probability
that the prince would go abroad if the
weather breaks but he will not enter into
any engagement present. The prince is
still on his couch and will not walk for a
fortnight. The Post-Dispatch correspondent
learns that the sudden and much-talked- of
departure of the Princess of Wales from
Cowes recently was the climax of series Of
events, the first of which dates back to last
Czarwitch stakes with Norman, on which
classic event the Prince of Wales netted
$50 900.
At Cambridgeshire, fortnight later, Mrs.
LangtryS mare, Maluma, was we'll in the
running and had she won the prince would
have netted 100000. The mare ran sixth
Mrs. I1angtry, he lost nothing. In recogni-
ton of these and other favors the Prince
of Wales interested himself to secure Mrs.
Langtrys readmission into the paddock
and the Jockey Clubs stands at New
market, with such success that Lord Dun
ham went to her personally and invited her
to appear in the most select Enclosures.
The Prince of Wales's interest in 1.-The Jer-
sey Lily was shown in several other WAYS
during the year. 1t was a hint from him
to the princess that Mrs. Langtry was com
ing aboard the royal yacht that aroused the
princesss anger and after a painful scene
she went ashore without saying goodbye to
her husband.
A controversy similar to that which arose
between DIR. Morrell Mackenzie and the
German surgeon after the death of the
Emperor Frederick is springlng up between
the French and English surg ons with reter-
ence to the treatment of the Prince of
Wales's injury. Dr. Lucas Championiere,
an eminent French surgeon. declares that
an operation should have been performed.
English surgeons privately agree that he is
right. generally. but they point out that
rangement is a very bad subject end that
had an operation been performed it might
have caused a serious disease. Tfat is the
reason why Lord Lister, who is notcriously
opposed to operations was given charge of

protruding teeth over which lips would not
close. One man grasped in claw that had
crushed them three American hardtacks
Others had food hidden under their scant
covering. Their weight was as nothing
yet four well men staggered under the bur-
den of one stretcher.
Down the city streets came other pro-
cessions of stretchers. Vanquished and
sick, weak pitiful moaning, staggering,
they drifted into town all day long When
the city SURRENDERED the prospective return
to Spain brought Joy to many hearts; the
fulfllment of the promise was sad. Ten
American ambulances have been detailed
to help carry in. those unable to walk and
we have erected tents on the dock where
the sick can wait until the lighter is ready
for them.
1T was not camp out there" said
Spanish officer, 1T was a graveyard. Be
tween two and three hundred went into
the hospital daily Hospital? 1t was not a
hospital. There were no medicines, for there
were no attendants. Forty men were dying
every day and the trenches are full of the
dead. We have saved you many a $50 for
passage money to Spain. That camp has
been nearer hell than anything in the war.
There are 5000 men out there yet-oniy
a thousand came in to-day-but they won't
last long. Dysentery-camp dysentery we
call It, and it is worse than the plague-is
carrying them off,"
A white-haired officer with stars and
bands on his sleeves, but so thin
and weak and rale that he looked
more like skeleton than man,
walked down the wharf, supported by
his wife, who was as much in need of sup
port as he was himself. Over a loose board
they both tripped and fell. There are two
young children in the party, who cry almost
continuously. Finally they all got on board,
the women to spend ten days on a filthy
horrible troop ship. There are many wom-
en- going thus-wives of officers who cannot
pay for passage.
These Spanish troop ships bid fair to
rival old time slavers in their misery and
sufferings that will be confined within their
sides on the voyage back to Spain. Our
own soldiers were sick, but the condition
of the Spaniards is so many times worse
that our men seem strong and healthy
compared to them The Spaniards were not
in this condition when they moved to their
death camp just three weeks ago.
Just how far we are obliged to provide
care for a vanquished foe is question now
being discussed in this town. Everyone adj
mits the Spaniard has been a good enemy,
a good fighter, and the Americans who took
off their hats to the Spanish officers on the
18th of July did SO with true homage to
brave men. AS the pitiful. lines of Spanish
prisoners stagger through the streets of
this city for the next week or so, feebly
stepping out of the way of pedestrians,
looking fearfully at rafting carts and in
sad contrast to our strong men in brown,
the Americans who see them will be in
clined again to uncover their heads, prompt
ed by the same feeling of homage to brave
men.
