CAPTAIN sIGsBEE's INSPIRATION.

CAPTAIN SIGSBEE'S INSPIRATION.
Jacksonville, Fla, February 18.-Capt.
PiIlsbury, commander of the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius, in port here, has ex-
pressed the opinion that the injunction Of
Captain Sigsbee of the battleship Maine,
directing the American people to suspend
Judgment until further information
should he secured, was an inspiration
and should be observed. Captain Pills
bury said: "Ihe report that Sigsbee
thinks the destruction of the Maine was
caused by floating torpedo is in my
opinion untrue, for if he said that yester
day he knew if the day before. in fact, he
knew at the time of the explosion, which
is extremely improbable. He haa had no
time in which to investigate and / think
it very wise for us TO withhold our jUdg-
ment until thorough investigation can
be made. Whether the explosion was
from within or without can easily be as
certained by divers. I will stake my
commission on it that Captain Sigshee
made no such statement. He is cool as
any man ever saw and what there is to
be known about the Maine accident will
be brought out by him."
BELIEVES IT WAS A TORPEDO.
Jacksonville, Fla, February Is. "A
special to the Times Union and Citizen
from Kew West says: The general opinion
was hit by torpedo after which the
magazine exploded.
In an interview, Thomas Melvill of
Brooklyn, who was not injured and was
on watch on the quarter deck, said that
he felt two distinct shocks. The first was
not as severe as the second which blew
up tho ship.
Other survivors are of the same opinion
that it was foul work.
Martin Roirdan, q submarine diver of
Key West, and u survivor of the Maine,
has been autographed for from Havana by
Consul General Lee and Captain Sigsbee
and will go over Immediately to dive
under the Maine and discover the cause
of the disaster.
The flagship New York is now anchored
off the bay awaiting instructions from
Washington.

throw away time and material to dress
for him. Let me tell you, please, what

which had cost hundreds OF dollars.
She wore it for the first time with an

looked at her-a man who had reached
an age when he ought to have had dis
erection and who was still not In his
dotage-looked at her and said:
That's your last winters suit, is It
not?" I don't think need to tell you
more. but will. Another human adult
of the same sex told me once that my
gown was very beautiful, 1t was q
ten-cent lawn that myself had made.
So. of course, all women cave up their
asst clothes for people who can ap-
I preciate them, and those people are not

A Mcpherson county farmer says:
Second-growth sorghum has been pas
tured without harmful results. In 9TH
err cases animals have died within a
few minutes after they commenced
eating it. The peculiar conditions
which make it deadly poison in some
cases, and valuable, nutritious feed
in others, have not been made out. 1t
was at one time thought that only
frost-bitten cane was dangerous. La
ter reports have shown that fatal re-
suits have occurred from feeding on
cane which had never been frost-bit-
ten. We have never heard of any bad
results to stock from eating sorghum

growth.
Abilene's city fathers have fixed a

This is the first year that at a sol

willing that the fighters of later date
should come in for their full share Of
glory. There will never be any strug'
gle in this or any other country which

He turned II up and turned 1t down,
He aimed at sky and sea;
He let il train upon the town

And thawed his face into a smirk

Then with a final reckless swing
Hhe shut his eyes up So
And twitched upon the lanyard string
And jumped and let her go!

our crowd would take less than that
for III they got that day"
One OF the steam launches of the
Vizcaya drifted into the bay at Siboney
the day after the fight. Souvenir hunt
ers carried IL almost entirely away
piecemeal. One OF the thrifty captains
of a transport sent his crew to lift out
the engine. which they brought to MN:
The crews of other transports carried
TO their ships nearly all of the macnln-
cry that was in the two railroad shops
at Daiquiri and Siboney. They also car
ried off all the furniture Of any account
that was left in the abandoned houses
in these villages. They had the naval
idea of souvenir hunting.
When the block house or San Juan
hin was taken the Spanish flag was
still flying over II. A soldier pulled II
down, while a score of others were
| reaching for II. They were all so
eager to get hold Of IL that they tore
IL and the they scrambled for pieces
of IL. The result was that they divid-
ed IL among themselves. each taking a
small piece. General Kent. who com
manded the division in which they
were. tried TO recover the flag to send
II to the war department in Washing
ton. He succeeded in getting only
some small pieces of IT, which he for
warded with mis- report.
Wounded soldiers evinced a great
desire to get the bullets that had pierre
ed their flesh. The surgeons were
equally DESTROYS of getting these mis-
siles. Few soldiers were so badly
wounded that they did not have the
presence Of mind to call for the bullet
that had been cut out of them as soon
as the surgeons were through with
their surgery of the injury.
I've cut 40 bullets out of soldiers"
said one surgeon, and ] have only
one. The fellow ] got this out of is
still crying for IL, and ] guess I'll have
to give II to him yet before he will
leave the hospital. They may be bad
~ wounded, but the most of them re-
fuse to take a~naesthetics SO they can
keep their eyes open watching for the
bullet"
A soldier one day. who was able to
hobble out of the hospital. showed me
the bullet hat had been cut out of the
back of his neck.
THE doctors tried to hold this out
on me-" he said. but i climbed off the
table and went after IL. What do you
think OF those doctors trying TO keep
our bullets? You can have all of your
other souvenirs: this is the only one
