A Saddening Sight.
From the Springfield RepubIlca

FROM Tue Springfield kepubllcan.
No one could look upon the Second regi-
ment, with the ever present thought of its
hundred dead, the rest enfeebled and so
few looking like the hearty fellows we sent
TO South birmingham and to Florida, and
pass to martial dreams of national conquest
in the tropics.
1t is thus that Spain's troops have re-
turned to the mother land after service in
Cuba during the century past, those that
ever came back. 1t was to many of us our
first sight of a regiment of the victims of
the devastating hand of war; sometimes a
necessary evil, but always a curse to be
Stunned and not cOurted in the policy of
the nation. But what of such spectacles
as comm )nplace in our life? Spain has
had them, aud conscript service to make
them possible. Are we by some strange
irony of weakness that is called destiny,
to be forced to take up this dreadful role?
and so is the great republic to be made the
sport of a war begun for humanity's sake?
No. The masses of the people are yet sane
and strong to defend their interests The
home is involved and We shall recognize it.

Mr. OTIS Queer Flag.

Hiram Otis, q veteran Of the civil
war, who resides in West Philadelphia,
has relic of great interest in the shape
Of an odd American flag. Otis collected
the materials for this flags construction
during the late war. A brave courier,
who did his share toward Union victory
at the battle of Winchester, was close
friend Of Otis. The man was mortally
wounded and died ON the field. Otis se-
cured part Of his uniform, which now
forms the blue portion of the interesting

part of flag of truce that was carried
by Otis himself when, with two COM
rades, he went to q rebel encampment
to arrange an exchange of prisoners.
The flag was disregarded, and the party
was attacked by troop Of guerrillas.
OF the trio Otis alone escaped alive,
and he was injured so seriously that he
was discharged from the army. The red
stripes are made of red undershirt

WE CAN STOP YELLOW JACK.
One Of the Most Important Advantage,
In Controlling Cuba.

Ono Of the Most Important Advantages
In Controlling Cuba.
One Of the direct advantages that
will accrue to the United States from
the expulsion Of the Spaniards from
Cuba and the exercise Of some sort Of
control over the island will be the fact
that we will be able to correct some Of
the crying sanitary abuses that have
made the island a breeding place for
yellow fever, which of course is bound
to be carried to American shores sooner
or later when the epidemic is at all bad,
as it has been many times in recent
years
A direct cause Of yellow fever is to
be found in the vile condition of Ha-
vana harbor, which has been allowed
to become more and more filthy every
year. Its shores are heaped with decay
ing vegetable matter and lined with
piers that are rotting from age and neg
lect. Unpaved and unsewered streets
and lack Of any organized system Of
public cleanliness or sanitation, all COM
bine to breed this scourge annually The
United States can do wonders in this
respect, and there is reason to hope that
the medical department will have free
hand after the island is pacified. There
Is every chance that proper handling Of
the question will clear Cuba Of the fe-
yer, for filth is one of its most potent
causes.-New York Press
