"YANKEE boobies" ORIGIN.
England Claims That It Came From
Thers,and Was "Nankee Doodle"


London Telegraph: A correspondent
writes: The air of the American ma
tiCnal song, Yankee Doodle was orig
inally that of a cavalier ditty, and was
possibly WhiStled by the London street
Arabs of royalist sympathies with the
object of irritating the Rou2dheads.
Only it was 'Nankee Doodle then, an
uLmeaning aDpellation applied TO no
less a parsonage than Oliver CromweA,
who rode into Oxford with a single
plume in his hat, fastened in a knot,
called at the period a macaroni.' Nan
kee Doodle crossed the Atlantic at a
convenient time. Then the term Yam
kee, applied originally strictly to New
Highlander. was beginning TO be used
colloquially, having been derived from
'Yenghee,' the Indian fashion of pro-
nouncing English when the initial n
in 'Nankee' in the effusion was discon-
tinued and y substituted. The tune
was adopted by the revolutionary col
onists more in spirit of retaliation than
anything else. When LCrd Percy'S br1-
gade marched out of Boston, the bands
played Yankee Doodle as a mark Of
contempt for the inhabitants. But the
colonistS uttered a threat and carried
it out, that before the war was over
Percy's brigade would have to dance
to the despised tune, and they had to-.
1t has been contended that in 100 DR..
,Shuckburgh wrote Yankee Doodle, but
the best authorities are agreed that in
it's original form it was composed to
deride the Cromwellians. 1t may be
noted that the late President Grant was
so innocent of music that he only knew
two tunes One was Yankee Doodle,
and the other wasn't

HARBoR FOR SAMPSON.
Refuge For the Fleet In Case OF
Storm.

Washington, June 2S.-One benef1-
cent effect from the landing at Bal
quiri will be to distract the attention
of the Spanish from the harbor of
Guantanamo. The mines having been
probably all removed, and the forts
that commanded the lower harbor hav-
ing been silenced with the disappear
ance of the Spaniards from the coun-
try surrounding the bay, the navy will
be in full possession of what it has
long wished for, an absolutely safe
and land-locked harbor in which all of
SIMPSONS feet and the transports as
well can find refuge from any West

MANILA STORY DISCREDITED.
Not Probable That German Force Has
Landed

Washington, June 23.-The report
that Germany had landed a naval force
at Manila is discredited in the most
positive manner at the state depart
ment and in the best informed diplo-
matte quarters. 1t is looked upon as
a part of the persistent foreign propa-
ganda inspired from Madrid, which for
weeks has been seeking to stir up ami
mostly between the United States,
Germany, France and other countries
That the report is purely conjectural
is shown from the fact that there is
no cable communication out of Manila.
and even Admiral Dewey, who holds
the shore end of the cable, has not been
heard from in some days.

Landing was completed WITHOUT
Casualties-Cuban Greeting.
Washington, June 2S.-The only posi-
tive news coming from the war depart
ment up to the close of Office hours,
was dispatch to General Miles from
one of his staff officials with General
Shafter, and also a brief dispatch to
General Greeley from Lieutenant Colo
mel Allen. General Miles dispatch
stated in substance that the landing of
troops had been completed without any
casualties save one Cuban soldier had
his arm injured by the bursting of a
shell. The troops of Garcia and Rabi,
about 800 in number, had met the
American forces with enthusiastic
greetings. Stress was laid upon the
point that the Cubans were well armed,
and well disciplined. General Garcia
was confident that his forces would be
swelled to 10000 men as soon as Santi-
ago fell. About the only need among
the Cubans was shoes and quinine.
The dispatch to General Greeley
merely stated that progress was being
made in connecting the military forces
directly with the war department.
