now he is behind the bars on a
more serious allegation. He was arrested
Thursday night on warrant charging
him with fraudulently indorsing certifi-
cate of deposit, which is felony.
Miss f. Cohn had certificate of deposit
on the Farmers and Merchants bank for
$50 which was in some manner stolen. This
certificate was taken, it is alleged, to a
grocery store, where the holder offered it
in payment Of some goods. On the back
the certificate had apparently been trans
ferred to M. Anason, as the signature Of
Miss Cohn bore out. The supposed Ana
son was accompanied by another man who
identified him as the person to whom the
certificate had been transferred. When
the certificate went back to the bank it
was discovered that the transfer and the
signatures were all forgeries. Aschner is
accused of having had hand in the af-
fair, and is also said to have been the per-
son who identified the supposed Anason.

"Fighting Joe's" Daughter.

bravely led his troops at Santiago,
and was carried out of the hospi-
tai on stretcher that he might
better direct the portion of the
battle under his command will
have a prominent place, but no
more prominent than the name of
his heroic daughter, Miss Annie
Wheeler, who performed such
wonderful servece as a nurse at
the hospitals at Santiago. She
was the only non-immune nurse
who went to Cuba. and now, after
coming North for a rest, she found
it impossible to give up the work,
and has charge of ward No. l at
Camp Wikoff. Miss Wheeler is
not a beautiful woman, but her
face is of that refined, motherly
sort, whose eyes twinkle with
kindness and whose mouth never
opens but for word of good cheer
for the suffering. She was not a
trained nurse, but she had some
experience at home, and finally
coaxed her father to let her 60 to
Cuba. When she arrived there on
the transport Lampasas they
would not permit her TO land, told
her that it would be certain death
for any nurse who was not immune
to go ashore, and despite her pro-
tests they carried her to Guantana-
mo. There she saw Gen. Miles and
implored him to let her go to the
front. Finally the general told
her that she could do as she
thought best, and passing through
the lines she went into the city Of
Santiago. At times she had as
many as ninety patients in hel
: c ire, and was at work night anC

santiago's Harbor Derenses.

When Hobson blew up the
mines in Santiago harbor on last
Sunday he found them to be
clumsy. Insignificant and easily
destroyed.
When Schley inspected the forts
and batteries he found them feeble
and incapable Of much war work
Of modern kinds. Some Of the
guns were unprotected even by
earthworks. Moro Castle was for
midable only in appearance. There
was mot gun mounted within or
on its crumbling walls"
In briei, it is discovered now
that there were no defenses-either
forts or mines-that could have
prevented Schley from entering
the harbor at the beginning, des-
troying Cervera there and captur-
ing everything that the army on
shore has had to capture at so great
a cost Of life.
Schley was Of this opinion from
the first He wanted to "go on
damn the toTpedoes," >" but was re-
strained by "orders from Wash.
ington." Now his minute exami-
nation Of the defenses confirms his
former judgment that without any
army at all he could have taken
Santiago, probably without the
loss of single ship
The mistake has been a costly
one-in men and money. But we
have Santiago, its feet and its
army. This is the main thing.
Washington sentinel., 1898-07-23
The Oubans at Santiago.

We can readily understand that
the Cuban forces in the neighbor-
hood OF Santiago are a source OF
embarrassment to General Shaiter.
Their natural feeling that what is
lost to Spain belongs first to Cuba,
and the fierce hatred, the lust for
bloody vengeance, which years Of
cruel suffering at Spanish hands
have kindled in their bosoms, make
It difficult for the American com
mander to follow the precedents Of
civilized warfare, and to re- estab.
lish order in the conquered terri
tory, with the least possible delay.
Much should be forgiven the
Cubans and much conceded to
them. They have fought long and
endured much in the service OF the
republic which they hope to estab-
lish. Their flag has been tor three
years their symbol of liberty and
hope in the midst Of Imprisonment
and death. They are right in urg-
ing that where the Stars and
Stripes fly it should wave, and, so
far as it shall be possible without
going beyond the directions OF
Congress which refused to recog-
nize the Cuban republic, the United
States officers should yield to this
natural desire.
We think that if the military
authorities Of the United States
will keep these facts we'll in mind
they will have no inclination to do
the Cuban patriots less than JUS
tice.
Washington sentinel., 1898-07-23
attacks on Germany

continue. The British press, full
OF lying articles, wants this coun-
try and Germany to be on bad
terms. Its chief reason is a good
deal of commercial jealousy, be-
cause the German merchants grad
ually are ousting the English from
the worlds markets. The Anglo
American Know Nothing press
copies those articles because it
hates the Germans.
The New York Journal, which
is gradually becoming worse from
day to day,recently sent a reporter
to some rich German Americans
in New York to ask their opinion
as to what, IN case of war with Ger
many, they would do, whether
they would fight for or against
this country, etc.
Ha6 the TouyNai sent its reporter
to US with the same question we
would politely have shown him
the door, and, if he did not want
to leave, would have kicked him
down stairs. For in our eyes it is
a deadly insult to ask a man
whether he is, or will become, a
miserable peUurer and traitor.
Those New York German-Ameri-
cans were towards to assure the
.TouyHaI that they would not go
against this country. They had
no pride nor manhood,
But all this will not prevent us
from defending the land OF our
birth as German-American
against English. Irish and
Know-Nothing scribblers, when
we know they lie and misrepresent.
Even if we were not born in Ger
many, like our native born Ger
man-American children, we would
look with love and frequently with
admiration on the most powerful
and enlightened nation in Europe,
that has always been on friendly
terms with the United States.
No German ship, trying to break
the blockade and assist the Span
iards, has as yet been captured by
our cruisers, Germany has re-
specteG the blockad ade, but British
French and other foreign vessels
have frequently been captured in
such a pursuit, and newspaper
scribblers have made but little
noise about it. Should, however
a German ship have done like other
ships, there would have been a
bowling from Dan to Bersheba.
