DESCENDANT OF A KING.
Fnmily History a. Lieut.. ORD, WHO
Fell Fighting De fore SAN
tiRgO de Cuba.

When Lieut.. jules G.. Ord fell before
Santiago, ighting with the American
army, there died a descendant of a
king of England. His grandfather was
the son of George ~. Had the law of
primogenture been followed the
young man might have been wearing
? crown instead of losing his life IN
the thick OF battle.
The family has been known in Amer
Tea for century. The first TO come
here was James Ord, a naval construc-
tor of great ability. who was accom-
panied by young man whom he called
his nephew, but who was really the son
ot George ", king of England This
boy, who took the name of James Ord,
founded the house of the name in this
country.
lie was the father of Judge Pacificos
Ord, an eminent jurist in California,
who is now living at 1927 l street. ~
W., Washington. and DR.. James Ord,
who lives in Maryland and whose re-
semblance 10 the present prince Of
Wales has made him famous, as well
as Gen. Edward o. c. Ord, who distin-
guished himself in the civil war.

KEEPS THE GUN.
Returned Hero Of the War Treasures
the Weapon That saved
TEirl His Life.

Don Stark Ann Arbor's hero in the
battle Of Santiago, has arrived at his
home says the Detroit (Mich.) 1rib-
une, although he probably will be dis
charged from service on account Of his
disability.
Stark brought back with him the
Springfield rife be carried, and which
saved his life. \ Spanish shell struck
the gun about Is inches from the muz-
zle and bent it. nearly at right angles.
CHANGING from ibis he shell struck his
wrist and severed his hand from the
arm as II by knife. Had il not been
for his gun the shell undoubtedly
would have killed him. At the time
Starl, was wounded he was on a rail
road track and the Spaniards from
fort ~ miles away rained shot and
shell among the soldiers. lTe crawled
10 the shelter Of The woods, and in five
minutes he was being attended to by
the surgeons.

A STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCE.
FnVorIte Music Before CRpituIation
of Santiago Was the "Star-
SpnnaIeJ Bnnner."

The Casino Espanol, or Spanish club,
in Santiago, much frequented by the
Spanish officers, has for some time
boosted a gramophone, which was a
source Of JOY and delight TO the club
members before the capitulation.
Strangely enough, through the long
nights of the siege, the favorite piece
of music which they were in the habit
of having repeated four or five times
an evening was The Star Spangled
Banner" which greatly pleased their
musical souls, although they were en-
tircly ignorant OF its origin or sig
niticance. AS fate would decree. on
the morning OF July 3. when the Amer
lean flag was hoisted over the gov
ernor's palace, the Iegimental band Of
the Sixth cavalry played with the ut
most gusto this self-same air. whose
full meaning then broke upon the as
sembled Spanish officers with unusual
force and with no little discontinue
to their already ruffied feelings.

THE MANILA FLEET.
Admiral Dewey's ships TO he Given
Cleaning, al W hicb They
stand i'm Much Need.

Arrangements are being made by
the navy department for docking and
cleaning the vessels in Rear Admiral
Dewey's squadron, which is composed
Of the Baltimore. Boston. Charleston,
Concord, Olympia, Petrol, and Raleigh.
Dewey's fleet will be augmented by
several ships which will be sent 10 Ma
Mia as soon as il * decided which ships
will be sent. Some of the vessels un-
der Admiral Dewey's command have
not been properly docked and cleaned
for IS months and are therefore in a
bad condition. Chief Naval Con-
structor Hichborn says that a vessel
should be cleaned at least every six
months.
Rear Admiral Dewey has been cabled
by the navy department in regard TO
the facilities offered at Manila for
docking vessels OF the size of those un-
der his command. II is hoped that
some arrangements can be made
whereby the vessels can receive the
attention which they are in need of
without leaving Manila.
If il is found that the vessels cannot
be docked at Manila, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy Allen says il will be
necessary TO have the work done at
Hong Kong. OF course this will be i'm
possible until peace between the
United States and Spain has been tech
nically declared. England has at
Hong-Kong five Of the largest dry
docks in the world The largest is
capa bic, according 10 Chief Hichborn,
Of holding the largest warship afoat.
IF II is found necessary TO use these
docks one vessel M time will be de-
tached from A,smfra Dewey's fleet
and sent TO IIong-Kong.
The cost of docking, cleaning. and
painting a cruiser the size Of the BAL
timore is about $1,000. OF course. if
the docks at Hong Kong are used the
United States will have to pay England
an additional sum for the privilege.

TO INCREASE NAVY.
Fifteen New Warships to BE Built
ct Once.
VII, re rs Fast ms the Fastest ves-
sells Now Building Abroad
To Have big Coal
Capacity.

A naval programme for presentation
TO congress. involving the immediate
construction of Is warships, has been
adopted by the naval board of experts
TO whom the subject has been re-
ferred by Secretary Long. says the
New York Tribune. 1t provides for
three sea-goiug barbette turret bat
tleships of 1900 tons displacement
and minimum of 1872 knots speed
when the vessels are loaded 10 their
deepest draught. or an average speed
above IS knots under ordinary cruis-
ing conditions; three frst-class ar
mored cruisers Of 1900 tons and 3
knots speed; three second-c,asS pro-
tected and armorcd cruisers OF 5000
tons displacement and % knots speed,
similar TO the Maine type. but highly
improved. and for six protected cruis-
ers of $500 tons and 10 knots speed.
The reduced speed Of the ships, which
is uniformly about two knots less than
that proposed at the preliminary
meeting Of the board. was brought
about by the desire 30 secure unprece-
dented range of action on account Of
the increased responsibilities of the
United States in the Pacific and the
certainty that these vessels. or most of
them, would be required TO make up
the feet in that ocean. The sacrifice
of speed to endurance was made with
a view Of securing vessels Of at least
1000 knots radius, or capable of
cteamng straight away from San
Francisco to Manila and Samoa. The
board decided that the Pacific rather
than the Atlantic would be the chief
tneater of American naval operations
in the future, and thnt.while greaf sac
riices 10 the speed could safely be
made for vessels attached 10 the outer
line Of natural defense On the east
coast Of he United States. abnormal
coal capacity and high economy were
prize requisites 50 long as distant pos
sessions 90 the vestwa I'd required pro-
lection All the vessels, however, will
be as speedy as the fastest vessels now
building abroad and they VIII be emf
nentlv more practicable in endurance,
strength and fOrnidability.

REMOVAL OF MINES.
al Cables and Electrical Apparatus
to Come Up. Now. from the IInr-
bors as Well n Mines.

Secretary Alger has directed that
all mines. cables and electrical appar-
atus in the rivers and harbors Of the
United States be removed. The work
will be performed 10y the engineer Of
ficers Of the army as rapidly as posi-
bic. due regard being made for the
safety of the vessels passing in the vi
entity Of the mines.
Erig Gen Wilson. chief of engineers
tas issued orders to all the officers in
charge of the Qualifications and other
works Of defense from which mines
are operated TO remove these obstruc-
lions. Immediately after the dcstruc-
ton ~ Admiral Cervera's feet by the
American squadron a request was
made by various shipping companies
that al mines be removed from the
harbor Of New York. After careful
consideration the request was grant
ed. but the mines were removed in such
a manner that the cable connections
with the shore were not destroyed.
The new order, however. provides that
al apparatus connected with mines
and other Instructions be removed.

SEAL LETTERS WITH WAX.
Trouble of the Postal Clerks i'm Puerto
Rico with the MucilnEe on
Envelope Flaps.

Postmaster Robinson, of Puerto
Rico, is experiencing some difficulty in
handling the mail matter destined for
the soldiers of Gen. Miles army, be-
cause of the hot weather and humidity
which prevails there. The mucilage on
the flaps of the envelopes becomes
moist, which causes the letters 10 adj
here to each other, and in many eases
they are mutilated in being torn apart,
and some Of them are unsealed when
they reach the post office. This makes
the service unsatisfactory, and Mr..
Robinson has requested the depart
ment 10 issue an order requesting per-
sons who communicate 10y mail with
the soldiers in Puerto Rico 70 use seal
ing wax in sealing their mail The de-
partment officials have the matter un-
der consideration, and while they may
not issue such an order they assert that
it would be of advantage to the people
if they would act on the suggestion of
the postmaster at Puerto Rico.

OPPOSED TO FEMALE NORSES.
SUPERINTENDENT Sternberg Thinks
They Have No Place I'm the Field
or I'm Camps Of Instruction.

Surgeon General Sternberg, of the
army, sent 10 the chief surgeon of the
Fifth army corps at Jacksonville, Fla.
the following telegram which will ex-
plain the generals attitude on the ques-
ton Of the employment of women
nurses in the army about which there
has been considerable agitation: "In re-
ply TO your letter of July 20, ] have TO
inform you that l do not approve of
having female nurses with troops in the
field or in camps of instruction. But
in general hospitals or in permanent
camps where facilities exist for taking
care of them they may render valuable
assistance, ard approve of the employ
ment OF properly trained female nurses
under such circumstances"

New Implements of Wnr.

Among other supplies shipped to the
army in Cuba by the returning trans
ports are 200 whistles, such as are used
by the police. for scouting parties.
Two or three of the rough riders who
had been policemen in New York,
Washington and elsewhere happened
70 carry their whistles with them and
they proved so useful to scouts and
skirmishers in giving signals that IL is
proposed TO issue them to all non-com-
