Nine years ago John Nelson, a boy or
twenty. left home at Revillo, having
had trouble with his father. He was a
sentimental youth. and left a note stat
ing that he had taken nothing Win
him except clothes enough TO cover MS
person. and that if his parents wished
him 10 have anything more they might
leave a bundle in an old seeder that
stood in a field, and that he would re-
ceiye it. That was the last message
they received from him until the other
day, For nine years his heart-broken
mother yearned for tidings of her lost
son, but nothing came. Last fall ms
father died of consumption. The moth-
err and sister believed him dead. ana
entertained no hope of ever hearing
from him again. But a day or two
ago a letter was received from him.
He had enlisted, and was at Chicka-
mauga with the troops. He said he
had been in Nebraska nearly all the
time since leaving home. and that he
was writing in the hot sun, holding the
paper on his knee. He expected TO be
sent to Cuba soon, and the thought
that he might never return softened
his heart towards his parents. Thus,
grim-visaged war, with all its hard
ships and terrors, will have the effect
Of reclaiming TO this old, loving moth
er her long-lost boy.

on Guantanamo, via Kingston, JAM,
June 81. Cuban scouts report that
the inhabitants of Caimanera have
strewn the streets with straw and oil
with the intention of destroying the
city and fleeing to the hills. Caiman-
era lies four miles up the bay from
Camp McCalla, under the guns of the
American ships, and the situation is
desperate. Starving and famine
stricken, convinced of the ultimate tri-
umph of the American arms and with
out faith in the protection of the Span
ish soldiery, the people are believed TO
have determined to leave their houses
in ashes behind them and seek safety
in the mountains of the north. The
scouts declare that the story is accur-
ate, and say that every building Of
the town is being prepared for the
torch. The situation of the besieged
is a fearful one. The people are eat.

the hills for fruit and herbs. Occasion

her commander declaring that she win
never become az American prize. The
scouts also say that the Spanish sol
diers are in almost as complete a state
of panic as are the civilians, and that
they could easily be induced TO sur
render. Some of the prisoners taken
by the marines also say they believe
the Spanish troops are on the verge of
surrender owing TO the lack of food.
Capt. McCalla, Of the cruiser Marble
head, and Lieut.. Col. Huntington, in
command of the marines, received in
formation that a general attack by a
force of $500 Spanish soldiers and
guerrillas on Camp McCalla is contem-
plated within a night or two. Every
preparation was made for an expect
ed assault, but the night passed with
out the firing of a shot. The coast in
the vicinity of Guantanamo is dotted
with bright-hued Cuban flags. Numer-
Gus camps of the insurgents which
have been established along the beach
between Santiago and this place are
used by the admiral as means of com.
munication with the Cubans in the in
terror. The aid which these men have
given has proved highly valuable to
the Americans. Their stories of inc
restitution and revolt among the Span
ish soldiery in this vicinity have been
corroborated by interviews with pris-
oners captured around the camp.
There was a brief bombardment of the
blockhouse up the bay by the battle
ship Oregon, and it is thought during
the fight that al least a score of Span
iards were killed. Scouting parties re-
pert that the blockhouse was COM
pletcly destroyed.

Under the coast-signal system,
which has been adopted by the Navy
Department, 1900 men will patrol the
Atlantic coast from Bar Harbor to Gal
weston, night and day, in all weather,
watching for the approach of an en-
envy or a signal from a passing United
States warship. All these watchers
can communicate in the course OF a
few minutes by telephone or tele-
graph instruments stationed at short
intervals with the Navy Department at
Washington.

The Russian declaration of neutral
fly has one important statement not
usual in such cases, as follows: tine
disagreements which have recently
arisen between Spain and the United
States Of America have Induced the
imperial government to seek, in con-
sent with the other powers, some
mean which might prevent an armed
conflict between the two countries. I'm
happily, our friendly measures are
without results and a state OF war now
exists between Spain and the United
States. It is with keen regret that the
imperial government witnesses armed
conflict between two states to which
1t is united by old friendship and deep
sympathy. 1t is firmly resolved to OBJ
serve with regard to these W bellig-
erents a perfect and impartial neutral
ity."

The military drill in our public
schools Is a great help to the work of
disciplining an army. Add to 1t the
experience In war that we had thirty
years ago, and the work of the Ia
tional guard. and a few days suffice for
an army ready for action. II took
months In ~'sixty-one to accomplish the
discipline that Is now to be had for the

TO q mere handful. Every school ought

tion. That amounts to our standing

Of keeping the insurgents out Of the best
