devised by President Grant at the time
OF the 10 years war In Cuba. when IL

served. including the maps and charts

1t was regular Arctic weather There
were IS persons, including six women
and several children, in the hall Nine
Republicans represented that element,
the balance being Democrats. Spring
/ City is a Democratic town. Chairman
Erickson said he was glad to see so
many present. but he did not look it.
John p. Meakin wrote out the pro-
gramme and passed it over to Ereck-
son, who at once announced that the
we'll known Republican and best known
elocutionist would then address them.
Mr. Meakin at once informed his audi
ence that, realizing they were not post
ed on late literature, he would explain
that his effort was by Holmes, a new
star in the field. John then recited

nine Republicans applauded, as well as
the Democrats, ardently approving
what had been said.

thesis on error Next he took his au-
dience back to $780, the year people dis

although no apparent point had been
made the speaker told a few things
concerning the art of herding horses,
which greatly interested an itinerant
dealer in the audience who showed his
appreciation by vigorous, though lone
some applause.
Admiral Dewey was complimented on
his victory at Manila, and having thus
outlined the work, Alma asked the
question. Which system is likely to
bring the most happiness to our
homes?' This abrupt query knocked
John Henry Smith off his feet, but
Alma was just as calm and peaceful
as if he had stated the most important
problem of the day. Alma declared
the silver question was being used TO
distract attention from the main issues
and to obscure the same. The silver
question is no issue in the state of
Utah, because 50 per cent of the people
believe in it.
Alma did not say he was one of the
95. however. but INDUCED in the follow
ing language: I was nominated on
platform of silver, protection and reci-
procity and on that me and my friends

Having thus delivered himself, Alma
accused the Democratic speakers of
abbreviating the financial plank of the
platform of st. Louis in reading it. He
would read it. But he did not. He
read down to where the plank con-
tinues. therefore we pledge ourselves
to the maintenance of the present GOLD
standard" etc, and either quit pur-
posely or forgot to finish. Alma had
no confidence in Democrats, for they
adopted the silver plank just to make

INVESTING INIcUBA.
Manzanillo Iron Mines Purchased By
Americans

Santiago de Cuba, Oct! 2O.-An Amer
lean syndicate represf hitting Detroit
capital has purchased al large tract Of
land at Manzanillo, where are several
good iron mines. An agent of the
syndicate is now there.
The inhabitants of Santiago are suf-
fering severely from the failure of the
ice works, which at present are broken
down, and unable to manufacture more
than enough for a favored few. Some
of the principal cafes get none at all.
The Santiago chamber of commerce
has petitioned for a reduction in the
duties on common salt. which. at pres
ent, are $1.10 per 100 kilos- The cham
Der contends that a duty of 90 cents
would be enough. DR.. Donaldson, the
collector of the port, il his report to
General Wood on the subject, advises
compliance with the request as rea-
sonahie.
A few weeks ago there were many
complaints by the merchants that they
could not get their goods through the
custom house, but there is no delay
now. Indeed. goods lie on the wharf
awaiting removal.
Yellow fever has been completely
stamped out at Guantanamo.
Senior Leonardo Ros, whom General
Shafter appointed civil governor of
Santiago Immediately after the capt.
ulation, and whose claim of payment
for &c days of service in that capacity
has been objected to by the military
authorities on the ground that he did
nothing, was paid $4T5 yesterday. Cen

nothing was done, ROs had been for

iightened they made better progress I'M
til they reached the ford of the San
Juan river, the now familiar Bloody
Angle The scattering Shots of the
enemy had begun to thin the ranks in
the jungle, but here the regiment came
out in sight of the ground they had to
cross and in full view Of the Spaniards,
who had concentrated their fire on the
crossing. Men began to fall, some
wounded, some dead, and it was evil
dent that there was only one thing TO
do-charge straight across the several
hundred yards of open ground before
them and up the heights of San Juan.
Once started, there was no stopping the
men, though the barbed wire obstacles
made the advance difficult and deadly.
Across the open ground and up the
Hill the regiment went, and as they
neared their goal the shouts of the
Americans swelled TO a roar, and the
Spaniards in the trenches saw there
was no staying the charge and fled,
leaving their dead and wounded In
masses.
Immediately on reaching the trenches
the regulars turned their magazine
guns and gatlings on the fleeing en-
envy and literally moved them down.
The victorious troops We're hardly set
tied in their new-fOund shelter before
the Spaniards reached their third line
of trenches and began to pour in a
constantly increasing fire.
AT this point" continued Captain
Ducat. I was wounded. and the subse-
quent proceedings interested me no
more. a sergeant beside me had
dropped dead. and I took up his gun
and ammunition and took part in the
firing, in a standing position, having
ordered my men to lie down. A Mauser
bullet struck me in the hip, penetrated
to the bones of the pelvis, crossed over
and struck the bone of the other nip,

blood and doubtless saved my life. I
was carried back down the hill on a
stretcher made of a shelter tent and
poles. and when the men who were
carrying me laid me down, ] found we
were directly in range of the Spanish
fire. Worn out and weary as they
were, they had to take me up again and
carry me until we reached the stream
and could get behind its steep bank
to wait for the ambulance. After a
lsng wait the ambulance came, aud al

Captain Ducat's language was mod
crate in the extreme, but even temper
ate language could not disguise the
impression that mismanagement in its
worst shape had characterized the
: treatment of the sick and wounded SOL
diers, as he had seen that management
with his own eyes. His description of
his own experience was terribly i'm
pressive, although at ehe outset he
apologized for his egotism, as he called
il, in his own story. The tragedy all
through it had one bright side-its trib-
ute to the heroism, the loyalty and
courage of the colored soldiers in the
field. the unwearying efforts of the in
adequate medical staff and the devo-
ton Of the nurses.
When the captain concluded his mar
rative. there was an outburst of ap-
proving applause. followed by general
comment that showed how effective
and impressive the story had been.

tertainment consisted in instrumental
