you faced dangers in disembarking and
overcome obstacles that, even in looking
back, seem insurmountable.
sSeizing, with the assistance of the

Siboney, you pushed boldly forth, gal
lantly driving back the enemy's outpost
IN the engagement OF La Quasina and
completed the concentration of the
enemy near Sevilla, within sight of the
Spanish stronghold at Santiago de
Cuba. The outlook from Sevilla was
one that might well have appalled, the
stoutest heart Behind you ran mar
row road, made well nigh impossible
by rains, while to the front you looked
out upon high foothills covered with
dense tropical growth, which could only
be Jraversed by bride paths terminating
within range of the enemy's guns.
Nothing deferred, you responded
eagerly to the order to close upon the
foe, and attacking at Caney and San
Juan, drove him from work to work

and much of it has seen service. The
battles preceding the capture OF Santl-
ago have been remarkable III many re-
spects, and, in the opinion OF military
experts, have covered the United States
army engaged with imperishable glory.
Modern warfare of type developed III
these engagements was absolutely new
and untried, not only to the United
States army, but to the world. No such
charge is recorded in history as that
made upon the stone fort and the block
houses browning the hills Of Ell Caney.
Few officers in any army have had
more experience in hard fighting,
especially in rough country, than that
of the Indian fighter, General Henry,
SO that some weight must be attached
to the opinion OF the merits OF our
officers and troops expressed by him IN
a nersonal letter addressed by him to
Adiutant General Corbin dated IN front
of Santiago, July IL, in which he says
in part:
1--WE are almost on top of them, IN
front of Wheeler being about 500 yards
to them, but the country is rough,
going down to falling and ascending,
all covered by their fire. The country
all the way is the toughest ever saw;
You have to follow roads or trails, and
come under heavy fire, their position
commanding every approach. The work
done by these troops since landing,
their heroism and patience, under dis
comforts, heat and rain, calls for the
highest praise; and the work accom- accom-,

Kingston, Jamaica, July 25.-The dis
tribution of relief from the Red Cross
steamer State of Texas is progressing
favorably. Storage room has been pro-
vided free of charge. Eight hundred
ratiens were distributed yesterday and
enough has been given today to relieve
Immediate wants.
The soup kitchens established by the
German consul and another, and sup
ported by voluntary contributions until
provisions in Santiago became SO scarce
that only two very insufficient contri-
buttons occurred weekly, has been
taken in hand by the Red Gross agents
and amply supplied with food, which
will be continued.
Loads of Red Cross provisions are de-
ivered daily to the soldiers.

day in an army wagon, over rough road

Too much credit cannot be given the
"heroism, pertinacity, pluck, patience
and endurance of mem who have borne
the brunt of this work. ="
In very dignifed manner General
Shafter, in a report to the war depart
ment made public yesterday. took notice
of some of the severely critical news
articles that have appea red touching the
condition of the troops before Santiago
while they lay in the trenches. He adj
mitted thai there was shortage of to-
bacco for time, but shows conclusively
that there was no lack of the necessar-
les of life and that the troops were ade-
quately supplied with hard bread, bacon,
sugar and coffee. Although this bill of
fare is not as extensive as that afforded
troops in garrison it embodied tie main
features of the army ration while ON
field service and removal from base of
supplies. AS it has been alleged i'll
some quarters that there was lack of
purpose in the battles incident to the
advance upon Santiago it is interesting
to note that while General Shafter adj
nitted that for two days he was him
self lying i'll owing to the great heat
and exposure he asserted that the plans
laid down in advance for the movement
were carried out with absolute exact
ness.

with her fat4.er, King Bertram; her
mother, Queen Ellen, and her brother.
Prince Sylvan. Now, Ugly Cordelia
hated Beautiful Grace, because of her
beauty, and she wished to get rid Of
her, and one day her chance came.
Prince Sylvan was very sick and Ugly
Cordelta knew she could cure him. So
she went to King Bertram and told
MIN she could cure Prince Sylvan.
Inc King was overjoyed and asked
her what she wished in payment for
such deed. She told him that If he
wanted her to cure his son he must
promise that after his son was well he
would allow her to come to the palace
and be nurse to Beautiful Grace. The
King, who did not know Ugly Cordelia,
FOR she Lad transformed herself into a
lovely woman, readily gave his consent.
80, when the son was we'll, Ugly Cor
della became a nurse to Beautiful
Grace. One night Prince Sylvan heard
Ugly Cordelia say to herself:
Tomorrow night, at half-past ten,
l shall take Grace into the forest and
let her be devoured by the beasts"
NOW, the next night at the appointed
time the Prince Sylvan and one hun
dred and fifty soldiers went into the
forest. When Ugly Cordelia and the
sleeping Princess entered the. Prince
seized his little sister from the arms of
the witch, and the witch was seized by
the one hundred and fifty soldiers and
brought before the King, who ordered
her TO be taken to the forest and he
devoured by the beasts instead of his
innocent little one.

General Garcia called an attendant
and handed to him a note.
Ramirez will be here directly, Julia,
and you will find that 1 have desire
to treat Binnie fairly; but If half
that Ramirez says is true, you will find
it very difficult to save the life of this
young American traitor"
Traitor! Then you have already
judged him and found him guilty? Is
that the fair play of which you boast? ?"
Before General Garcia could make re-
ply Ramirez entered the tent and was
facing Julia and Binnie. His old-time
hardihood had returned After the
Spanish defeat was certain, he no
longer dreaded the Spanish wrath. His
first thought was to make his way to
the Cuban lines and trv to justify his
acts with the Cubans. General Garcia
knew nothing of all the treachery OF
Ramirez, and this the spy soon found
out. Having the confidence of Gen
eral Garcia, Ramirez accused Binnie
of causing the ambushing of the Gu
ban mountaineers. for whose coming
Garcia long looked in vain. His
wicked thought was that this would
protect himself. His acting, now that
he suddenly faced those who best knew
of his perfidy, was characteristic of one
whose whole life had been one Of de-
ceit. Turning with an expression of
assumed contempt from Binnie to Gen

arms and ammunition with which
many Cuban mountaineers had been
equipped. Consequently, so reasoned
General Shafter, she must have the
confidence of the Cubans, and she
could do much good by taking to them
his message of good will and the as
surance that their interests and well
fare would be we'll looked after by the
Americans. Julia promptly accepted
the mission. With letter of instruc-
tons in her possession she left General
Skaters headquarters. Soon utter
she was walking beside the litter upon
which Binnie was carried out TO the
healthier hills. Binnie improved rap
idly. His wounds healed as if by
magic. He grew impatient to rejoin
the Rough Riders and to share in their
adventures.
II do not wish TO be classed as de-
serter or a shirk of duty he said with
an impatient toss of his head.
Have patience" was all the reply
that he could get to his teasing to be
allowed to resume his duties as a vol
unteer. Harry Ostend visited him
nearly every day. Finally Binnie WAS
told that he could go back to duty with
safety If he desired. Such whoop
of joy as he uttered But when he
learned that Santiago was occupied by
the Americans, that peace was propa-
be and that the Rough Riders and

The other fairies addressed Hatty's
cavalier as Dear Prince" and Hatty
was naturally happy to think that a
fairy prince should thus honor her. BY
and by there was a banquet under an
arbor of hop vines. They ate apd drank
and sang and saw the man in the moon
grinning through the hon vines at so
much jollity. Hatty lost one of her
gloves But when she mentioned it
there was a great shout of: "Cinder-
ella story told backward"
Off they all ran, leaving Hatty alone.
She looked for her missing glove, but
could not find 1t. That was two years
ago.
On last Admission day Hatty found
the glove and it was filled with rare
candies She picked the glove up under
the hop vine arbor. The candies were
fresh and she believes that the fairy
prince has had it all this time and has
taken this way to assure her that he
remembers and loves her still.

the Cubans that the Americans were

found no difficulty in following the

What do men speak of per-e-gri-na-tion
When they mean they are going to

Why people will speak in language un-

Why they don't talk in tongue Of their
