NOT FAIR PLAY.
Captain Desborough's Complaint
Against Recruiting Officers.

| Captain w. A. Desborough OF Battery
| A, Hart's Brigade, in camp at Agri-
cultural Park, has kick coming" He
| said to a reporter yesterday:
II think the recruiting officers who
come down from Candy and up from
| San Francisco might act differently.
Two came out to visit Camp Bruner
yesterday and We're invited inside to
see the camp. They stayed about three
quarters of an hour. Three OF our boys
deserted and found them at the Sixth
street aImory, enlisted to go to Fort
| Candy
These men were guaranteed they
would be sent to Manila within two
weeks, but it Is my opinion they will
never go from Candy. It's the only
| inducement they can offer to get men.
1.-The next recruiting officer who Wis
its Camp Bruner will not be treated so
well. No man knows when he enlists
where he will be sent, and he must go
wherever he is ordered. Most Of my
men are miners They enlisted with
the hope of going to Manila, there to
prospect after the war, and they will
stand as good a show Of going with
Hart's Brigade as they will from Fort
| Candy even though we are not mus
tered in the service yet.
Camp Bruner will be open to the
public from to p. m. on Sunday ev-
ening. The drill will be from 6 to 1880.
| I'VE wish to thank the many contrib
utors again for favors shown, and trust
they will not forget the boys of Battery
A at Camp Bruner"
Last evening Captain Desborough re-
ceived a telegram from San Francisco
stating that General Hart was then on
his way to Washington to confer with
the War Department officials relative
to the acceptance of his brigade.
The Captain said that General Hart
had told him that he was not to go to

PORTO RICO DRINKS.

The Porto Ricans ought to be expert in
the manufacture of cooling beverages,
like all the wen-to-do people living in
hot climate. The New York Herald
says:
"One of the Porto Rican delicacies
which viii probably soon be advertised
by our home confecdoners is cocoa wa
ter ice, or cocoa ice cream. as some
choose to call it. It is a water ice made
from the milk Of the cocoanut. This is
placed in the revolving freezing can,
about which is packed the Porto Rlcan
artificial ice and salt. The process of
making it is practically the same as
that used in making our ice cream at
home. The cocoa water ice is very
agreeable 20 the taste. The juices of
the cocoanut, as they come fresh from
the shell, are rather sickening TO those
not accustomed to drinking them. They
have remarkable medicinal properties.
and are very strengthening. The ma
tives are very fond of the cocoanut
milk, but with Americans, a rule. it
is an acquired taste. Frozen, however,
1t is very paiatable and refreshing, even
to those who cannot drink the fresh CO.
coanut milk.
There is one Porto Rican beverage
that the Americans are blacklisting.
They are coming to avoid il as they
would so much poison. The natives will
probably continue to drink it, smack
their lips over 1t and wreck their nerves
with it for long time to come. 1t fills
the place with the Porto Rican that
beer does with the American. 1t is the
islanders cheap, everyday drink. 1t is
called mavi. 1t is made of the juice of
and is fermented by the addition of
soda. The entire process of manufac-
ture. as it is managed by the Porto
Rican cafe keeper, consumes only one
night. Mavi is sold In bottles at or
cents a bottle. 1t has a sort of biting,
fat taste.
'FThe bills of fare in Porto Rican res
taurants and hotels will undergo great
changes before the Americans have
been on the island long. Meat meat.
meat, is all there is on the bills of fare
today. If a dinner has ten courses nine
of them are meat in one form or an
other, but certain to be done up in gar
lie and oil. The Porto Rican chef
seemingly has an antipathy for veg
etables, and for fruits. which grow in
such abundance. he has a supreme con-
tempt. Meat just the article of diet
which, according to the advice of our
physicians. should be eaten least in the
tropics. makes the entire Porto Rican
dinner when the Porto Rican is able to
buy it."

IN BLOODY BEND.

Many tales have been told about the
deaths of soldiers in battle OF Santiago.
but people do not weary of the horror of
1t. So Cleveland Moeffett continues to
spin stories of men shot to death, Leslie's
Weekly publishing them. Here is one OF
how two soldiers met their end:
Wei, he said, 1--WE lay there in Bloody
Bend that Friday morning about four
hours, say fifty yards beyond Bloody

round, and, zip, another one caught him
plumb in the heart, and down he went

lad on my other side-I called him

steaming hot, for we'd been letting EN-

necticut-good folks.
Those were his very words, and then
he got up on his knee and began firing
the fresh load in his magazine. l don't

was the last of Dutchy. After that l

The Rnnsereit Rennr,

As our news columns have informed
the reader. Senator Plat has been over
70 see TIE President, principally to pre-
vent the Roosevelt report from being
unearthed by the AIger Relief Commis-
sicn before the elections. That report
is a serious embarrassment to the Ad-
Elinistration. II was clever concep-
tion en- the part of the Rough Rider 1t
placed the party leaders in the position
OF being compelled to close his mouth
with something. and the Saratoga nom
ination was the only gag he was viii
ling to accept.
But after that piece of political
diplomacy was accomplished, people
began to remember things. 1t was not
forgotten that, only a short time before
Roosevelt openly declared that he
wanted nothing better than a chance
10 tell what he knew, and had seen. in
the presence of an investigating COM
mittCe. Then, in the VernacuIar. he
had il in for Alger, who had written
despitefully Of a certain round robin,
and assailed the Commander of Terrors
il such a sweeping manner as to create
the suspicion that, if the latter had
been at the battle of Charlottesville he
would have turned tail and ran away.
OF course, all those things are past.
barring their effects. The distinguished
individuals who used their high diplo-
macy in corking up the bucking bron-
cho Of the party. thought they had
things fixed to please the most culti-
waited taste. The idea was. as soon as
Roosevelt had published his acceptance
Of the nomination, to have him re-write
that vitriolic report in the light of his
new relations and obligations, and have
it suddenly sprung upon the country as
a complete vindication CT Alger, Alger-
ism and all the rest Of it.
Unfortunately, Teddy is known to
talk No rapid-fire gun in the navy
was ever possessed Of the longitude or
the diuretic and laxative qualities of his
tongue. Everyone of his club and other
friends knows pretty well what he wrote
in that report. and several enterprising
journals have its certified substance
ready and waiting to fire. in case a new
and expurgated edition should appear.
Moreover, to give the colonel his due,
he is without record as a word eater.
and il is said that all the persuasions
of Plat, Depew and other shareholders
in him. to make him rewrite his life and
adventures in the army, have been time
wasted.
Nothing remains. therefore but to
discipline the Alger Relief Commission.
and to show it the vital necessity for
suppressing the dangerous document
until the polls are closed in November
There need be no apprehension as to the
result. The Roosevelt memoirs are
likely to remain in the condition of
sacrat history

The Grave Question of Surrender

Carefully remembering the section of
the Revised Statutes which warns US
that the heather, in his blindness,
bows down to wood and stone" never
theless we must sympathize with the
poor Filipinos who have come here,
and gone away in despair. What they
really came for was to learn from this
Government that it meant to keep the
Philippine Islands, and, so, protect their
people. But, campaign declarations
aside. that is something that the Ad-
ministration could not we'll declare. 1t
knows the universal demand of the
American people on the subject; and it
would like to have it believed that it
will recognize and carry out the ma
tonal wish. But there was a trade
made which greatly interferes with the
popular policy. and there is money. as
well as many alleged votes, involved
in that trade.
Mr.. Mckinley is thoroughly ac-
quainted with what is meant by this
reference. 1t might, perhaps, tend to
internal strife to say much about it.
His Administration has not yet come
within mile of squaring the affront to

On their face the letters and other

There is nothing in them to show why

There is proper and general dislike of

ters should be explained away. They

When our forces were ready to go to
