VIRGINIA FEARS FEVER.
Government Asked Not to Land More
InvaIids From Cuba.

Richmond, Va, July 29.-Gov. Tyler to-
night, at the urgent request of the quar-
antine officers at Newport News and Old
Point, sent to Surgeon General Sternberg
OF the army strong protest against more
wounded soldiers from Cuba being landed
at Fort Monroe.
He called attention to the fact that the
breaking out of yellow fever epidemic
there, besides endangering the lives of
thousands of people in Virginia. would al
so weaken, if it did not absolutely unman
Fort Monroe, which guards the entrance
to Washington, would suspend work al
the government navy yard at Norfolk and
would also cause the stoppage of all work
on the men-of-war in process of construc-
ton al the private yards at Newport
News.
The Newport News and Old Point quar-
antine officers filed similar protests
Norfolk, some years ago, before the civil
war suffered terribly from an epidemic of
yellow fever.

The Esquimaux's .Huskie."

From the North American Review.
The wild dog, uninhuenced at all by
association with man, is typical of moth
ing but the wolf, and in the circumpolar
ice he is found In numbers rowing over the
fields of snow and ice, frequently in COM
pany with the wolves. The Esquimaux
have taken these wild reatures, and by
a rude process of selection and training
they have developed the "huskie," col
loquial abbreviation of the word Esqui-
mauX. These animals represent type of
dog but little removed from the wolf
hardy, viscious swift of foot and keen
of eye. They have been trained to haul
sledge loads of goods across the snow
and Ice, and this comes as natural for
them now as for pointer TO point. They
possess the blood of the wolf, however, i'm
their veins-the faint of the jackal At
the first opportunity they viii run away
and join the wild dogs, and deteriorate
rapidly in their company. Throughout
the great Northwest it is hard work to
make up fun team of strictly pure hus-
kies. The leader of the team is invari-
ably trustworthy huskie, but harnessed
behind him will be one or more wild .crea-
lures that are kept in harness only
through the moral influence of the 9TH
ers.

LOSING NATIONS NAME FIRST.
when Wars Are known by the
Names of the Nations Involved.
ITrnnn The Nav Nnrlr SIM

Wars are commonly known among thru
parties by the names of the two nations
involved, and it is a serious fact that the
name of the losing nation usually pre-
cedcs that of the victor. Considerations
of euphony and notsentimeut obtain.
In the war between France and Prussia
France was completely crushed in short
time, but the contest by general consent
Is known as the Franco-Prussian war
The recent war in the far east, when
led to the partition of China now active
ly in progress, was known as the Ch'-
nese-Japanese, or, in European phrase
ology. the Sino-Japanese war.
y still more recent example is the Greco
Turkish war, in which Greece was badly
whipped.
TO the superstitious the name currently
given to our conflict with Spain may ny

our arms Europe calls 1t the Spanish

An objection to this name is that
gives rise to .ambiguities, as the term
Spanish American as commonly used 10
designate the various countries Of South
America. Perhaps for this reason there
is a growing tendency In Europe to car
the war Hispano- American.
Another objection in the eyes of Europe
to either of these names is the Jealousy

tended, applies to the whole or North anu

gladstone na n Chemist.

Canon McColl in the Fortnightly Review
If Mr. Gladstone seldom INDUCED in
sarcasm, II was not because he lacked the
gift-for he possessed it i'm a high degree
but because he forbore to use it, To
hurt an opponents feelings gave him pain
and when he did it unintentionally he
would sometimes cross the floor of the
House, and, sitting for a few moments by
the side of the man whom he had just
demolished, say something to assuage the
wound one Of has most persistent, but
never ill-natured, critics was the late Sir
Robert Pope Hennessy, who told me the
following story to illustrate this gener-
GUS trait in Mr.. Gladstones character
Sir John frided himself on his knowl-
edge of chemistry, and in one of the de-
bates on the commercial treaty with
France he male a speech exposing. IS he
believed, a serious chemical blunder in the
treaty. Mr.. Gladstone followed, land soon
turned me inside out in the most anus
ing manner" said Hennessy in relating
the story. proving, as if he had been a
chemist by profession. that it was I who
had Numbered ocregiously." Having thus
disposed of his critics Mr.. Gladstone went
and sat by him foI a moment. Il hope
you don't feel hurt. Mr.. Hennessy," he
said. Your speech was ingenious. and 1t
may console YOU to know that the Empe-
ror of the French made precisely the
same objection that YOU have made The
fact IS, both you and he know a good deal
about chemistry but not enough to keep
you frcm going astray."

VILLANIIL A MAN OF NOTE.
Spanish TOrpedO-BOat Expert
Known in New York - Friend of
Queen Cristina.

queen
From the New York Sun.
Admiral Fernando Villamil of the Span
ish navy, the torpedo boat expert whose
death in the sea fight off Santiago has
BEEN reported by Capt Gen. Blanco to
Madrid was no stranger to New York. He
made a number of visits to this city, the
last being in 1894, when he made tour of
the world with 500 cadets for the purpose
of giving them instruction. He was a man
of much tenacity of purpose, a martinez
on board ship, but of pleasant personality
when met in a social way He was born
in Asturias where his wife and daughter
are living.
Up to four years ago, when he was a
Commodore, he was almost unknown, as
he had won his rank by hard work, and
was but seldom seen around the court. In
that year he was ordered 10 San Sebastian
to act as guard for the youthful King and
the Queen Regent. His appointment ex-
cited the envy of other Spanish naval Of
f1cers who desired the opportunity of be-
ing near the royal family.
AT that time, Villamil commanded the
torpedo boat Destructor, a boat of his
own designing. 1t was the laughing stock
of the navy on account of its small size
and low free board. The Queen Regent,
however, was greatly interested in this
new fighting machine and paid frequent
visits to it, causing much heartburning
among the other officers. In the middle
of summer she and the King decided to
make trip to Bilboa, and chose the Des-
tructor as their vessel. This caused a
great outcry, and the minister of marine
begged the Queen Regent to send the King
on another boat, so that in the event of an
accident at least one of them would be
saved.
Commodore Viiiamil," asked the Queen
Regent, lis there the slightest danger?"
None your Majesty was the reply.
Then We will both sail with you" re-
piled the Queen Regent, much to the dis
comfture of the minister of marine. The
trip was made in safety. and Villamil was
shortly afterward raised to the rank of
admiral.
At one time, when Villamil was giving a
dinner on board the Destructor, an acct
dent occurred that illustrates how the
vessel was regarded by the Spanish peo-
pie. An artist VINO was one of the guests,
was asked to draw a picture of the vessel.
He complied with the request and when
he exhibited his sketch it was seen that
he had merely put a number of splotches
of ink, representing driftwood floating in
the sea. Beneath the sketch he had writ
ten the words, puzzle picture; find the
Destructor"
