USUAL OFFICIAL RECEPTIONS dND
 BAN0UETS SUPPRESSED.

The Only Ceremony n Private Mass
 Queen Regent Has Ordered That Cus-
 tomary Funds for the Festivities he
 Distributed in Works of Charity-
 Stampede from Corunna Owing to
 Fears of Approaching American
 Squadron.
 Madrid, July 21, 4 D. m.-This was the queen regents birthday (she was born July 2l, 1S5S). but owing to the nations circumstances" the usual official recep- tions and banquets were suppressed. The only ceremony was a private mass celebrated in the chapel of the Royal palace. The royal family and the court attended the service. The queen regent has ordered that the customary funds for the celebration be distributed in works of charity. There were many visitors at the palace to-day The queen regent received congratulations from the pope and several sovereigns. The pope's telegram was very sympa- thetic.
 London, July 22.-A dispatch to the Standard from Corunna gives lively account of the stampede into the coun- try, owing to the fears of the "ap- preaching American squadron The correspondent says there is a daily stream of bullock carts with furniture and the town is nearly deserted by the better class of the inhabitants.
 The local papers have frightened the people so much that the captain gener- al summoned the editors and threaten ed them all with imprisonment if they | printed another word about Commo- dore Watson's squadron. The exodus, however, shows no sign of diminish ing.''
 1 A pamphlet has been distributed among the workingmen urging them to; demand peace at all costs, owing to the terrible distress and the lack of work and food. It is evident that there will be trouble in Corunna, says the cor respondent, and that the working classes will make it unless something | is promptly done.
 | A Madrid special says: The courtesy the Americans show the Spanish pris- oners has made a profound impression in Spain and is materially assisting the prospects of peace.

Washington, July 21.-General Miles, leading the military expedition against Porto Rico, started at o'clock this afternoon from Siboney, Cuba, for the point on the island of Porto Rico where it is the intention that the troops shall land. It is expected that General Miles will wait at some appointed spot on the route for the expeditions from Tampa, Newport News and New York to fall into his column. These expeditions are all under way, some of them with two or three days start of General Miles so that the delay should not be very great.
 After all the difficulty about the na- val convoy, and the first conclusion of the naval authorities that none was necessary the strength of that now furnished is surprising. There are a battleship of the first-class, the Massa- chusetts; an effective protected cruiser, the Cincinnati; a speedy and well-arm- GU SuuUudI, lllG AHudpOllS, dnQ luTee vessels of the auxiliary navy which have already proved by their perform ances in Cuban waters that they are fully equal to the ordinary gunboat in offensive power. They are the Glou- cester, which distinguished herself in the destruction of Cervera's squadron; the Wasp, which has attained a repu- tation as a destroyer of Spanish block houses, and the Leyden, which for a time was the sole representative of the United States power in Havana har- bor.
 Secretary Alger believes that General Miles on the Yale will arrive at his des- tination Sunday morning with 5000 men under his immediate command. A day later will come 4000 men on the trans ports, and the day following that 3,5OO more. Whether the landing will be de- ferred until the arrival of this entire force, or whether General Miles will take the initiative and hoist the flag himself on Porto Rican soil, is left to the discretion of that officer. It is the departments intention that he shall not lack for troops or equipment, and the expedition may be followed by sev- eral others as fast as the troops can be gotten ready until word comes from the general that he needs no more.

1t is Reported That Dewey Will Take This Action Unless the Spani0rds Sur- render in the Meantine-Ame -Aguinaldo Organizes the Philippine Cabinet.
Cabinet.


 Manila, July IS, via Hong Kong, July 21-Unless the Spaniards surrender in the meantime, Rear Admiral Dewey will lombard the Notifications of Manila by the end of this week, pro- vided the troops are ready to take pos session immediately. The first regi- ment is already in the field at Paran- aque, two miles from Manila. The Spaniards are reported to have been buoyed up by the hope that the Cadiz fleet, due here on the sixteenth, would arrive soon, but the news of the de- struction of Admiral Cervera's squad ron, brought yesterday by the Japanese cruiser Naniwa, may lead them to sur render. The insurgents are constantly harassing the Spaniards on both sides of the line, but they are checked by the big guns of the Malate and Santa Misa forts. The second detachment of the American expeditionary force arrived in excellent condition, though four died on the voyage.
 A Spanish steamer the Vosol, hav- ing on board a native crew from the Viscayes islands is now in the hands of the insurgents. The crew revolted, killed the Spanish officers and reached Taayabao in the southern part of the island of Luzon. But there they quar- reled with the Tagalen insurgents and returned to Iloilo, which is looked upon as indicating that the Viscayes are un- willing to join the Tagalens. In any case, it is considered certain that the Philippine islands will never be amal- gamated and that they will never re- turn to Spanish rule. Therefore, the only alternative, in the opinion of the best informed people here, is foreign rule, American or. British
 Hong Kong, July 21.-Letters receiv- ed here from Cavite, dated July IS, say that the American troops have hoisted the American flag on an island sup posed to be Watts island. General Aguinaldo has organized the Philippine cabinet at Bacoor, with the following personnel: President of the council, General Aguinaldo; secretary of war, Baldimiro Aguinaldo, nephew of Gen. eral Aguinaldo secretary of the in- terior, Leandre Ibaira; secretary of state, Mariana Trias. A Cavite letter dated July F says that General Ander- son has quartered the California bat talon at Paranaque, several miles from Manila The blockade is effective and mails are not allowed to enter Manila except by warships.

Concerning Senators from Orange
County.

In the list we published few weeks
ago the name James M Upham should
have been Zenas M. Upham.
1t will be seen by the list that the
lawyers have Jared well. OF the sov-
enty-three men who have been Sena-
tors, nineteen were attorneys. AT
twenty-nine of the forty eight elections
there has been lawyer elected, and at
one election two, leaving only nine
ten elections when lawyer was not
elected Senator. Reckoning out those
OF other professions and occupations,
leaving the farmers, it will not appear
that the farmers have been favored
class for the Office of Senator, consider
ing the number of farmers in the
county. Most Of the Senators have
held many other offices. William
Hebard was a judge of the supreme
court OF Vermont, and member of
congress-. Lebbens Egerton, ]. p.
Kidder, Burnham Martin, Stephen
Thomas and L. G. Hinckley have been
lieutenant governors of the State.
Egerton, in 1881, 1872, 1913 and "a, when
William A. Palmer was Governor;
Kidder, in 1858, with John S. Robin
son Of Bennington, who was the last
Democratic governor of Vermont;
Martin, in 1868 and $50, with Governor
Hiland Hall of Bennington; General
Thomas, with Governor John B. Page
of Rutland, and Hinckley with Cover
nor Peck.
Henry Reyes was prominent man
and the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor twice. Orange county has had
only one Governor. Kidder, Villas and
Parker were able lawyers and went
West many years ago. Hebard, Short,
Hatch, Blodgett, Villas, Parker,
Thomas, j. B. Hutchinson, Bartholo-
new, White, Bean AMI Gleason have
been judges of probate. The veners-
BILE Stephen Thomas was the most
prominent Democrat in Orange county
"a leader. 1t was said at one time
that the Democrats of the county would
not express an opinion on any new is
sue until they heard from Thomas.
He was q candidate for lieutenant
governor several years ago on the Demo-
cratic ticket, we think, when John G..
SAKE ran for Governor. General
Thomas has been Republican since
the times of the civil war.
The Senators in 1854, and all since,
would be classed Republicans, except
Judge Bean, who was nominated by
the Republicans as Union man or
War Democrat. He was also the can
didate of the Democrats. Those elect
ed previous to 1864 were Democrats or
Wings. Considering the size and pop
ulation of Tunbridge, that town has
not had Senator its share of the time.
We think if the publishers of the
Orange County Gazetteer had published
the names of all who had held county
offices and the names of the Represen-
tatives in the Legislature from the sew
eral towns in the county, it would have
been as interesting reading as some
things they did print. C.

Doctor was In Luck.

A prosperous Pittsburg physician,
who resides in an aristocratic part of
the city, related an experience he met
with about year after he had gradual
ed from college. He was practicing in
small village in Indiana county about
eighteen miles from any railroad. He
had been recently married, and in the
struggle to make ends meet the pros
poet at times became very discourage
ing. 1t was during one of these de-
pressing periods in the middle of the
winter, with snow foot and half
deep covering the ground, that he was
called to attend farmer who lived
some miles away. The stock of pro-
visions in the house was exhausted,
and it seemed certain that the resolu-
ton that had been made not to ask any
one fer credit must be broken. When
the call arrived, the doctor was prepar-
ing to 60 to the nearest store to ask the
proprietor to give him stick" so that he
could get something for breakfast. In
stead of going to the store he mounted
his faithful mare Molly and started off
through the drifts to visit his patient.
When the doctor rose to leave, after at
tending to the patient, the old farmer
said:
"Doc, amt got no money, but if a
quarter Of beef'll do you any good III
send it in when the roads git broke"
The young doctors heart gave a
bound. Concealing his exultation as
best he could, he said: whats the
matter with me taking it right along? 1
was thinking Of buying some beef, and
this will come in handy"
The proposition was accepted, and
the farmers son helped put the quarter
of beef across Molly's shoulders, and
the homeward journey began. The
mare was skittish, and the doctor had
difficulty in keeping the beef from fall
ing. Finally the mare SHE'D at some
thing, and away went the beef into a
big snowdrift.
The doctor was a member of the
Methodist church, and, according to
his story, did not swear. He dismount-
ed and endeavored to put the beef on
the mare, but she wouldn't stand still,
and after repeated attempts the task
seemed hopeless one. Thinking of
the resolution, the young doctor set his
teeth and tried again. This time he
was successful. He felt like conquer
ing hero as he dumped the beef on the
porticO of his modest home about mid
night. The faithful little wife was
sure it was q dispensation of Provi-
dence, but the doctor, remembering his
struggles at the snowdrift, reserved his
opinien.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Mrs. ThurstOn's Appeal to Mothers.

All residents of the Green Mountain
State will be practically interested in
the following appeal sent from Havana
by Mrs. Thurston, wife of Senator
John M. Thurston, who is herself a
daughter of Vermont, and gave up her
life to the starving Cubans.
Havana, March Q.-During the past
year have been member of a society
working under the inspiration and
leadership of Clara Barton. So, nat
urally, my first impulse on reaching
Havana was to seek her presence and
learn from her lips and see with my
own eyes, the work che has accomplish
ed
When went to pay call on Miss
Barton, early in the day, l found that
she had sort OF dispensary attached
to her private residence, and there
were found hundreds of patients.
The symptoms in every case were the
same. They all suffered from diseases
growing out of starvation and expos
ure. 1 saw all those poor, suffering
children in the orphanage, and it was
terrible sight.
Obi Mothers of the Northland, who
ttuucIiy clasp youI ilttic Oucs Closo W
your loving hearts! Think of the black
despair that filled each mothers heart
as she felt her lifeblood ebb away, and
knew that she left her little ones to
perish from the pains of starvation and
disease.
1 have no words vivid enough to
bring before you the poor, shrunken
lips, the brown skin on some of them
already deprivedIof life and falling off
in great patches, the great, sunken
eyes, the swollen lips and tongue tell
their own tale of woe and misery.
Add to these the fact that no little
one in this orphanage established by
Miss Barton could tell its pitiful story
in language we can understand, nor
could we whisper in its ear the words of
consolation and pity that were in our
hearte.
So, silently we turned away from this
place of sorrow and suffering, hoping
that the good God above, and Father
of the fatherless, will guide and guard
Miss Barton in her noble work of car
ing for these orphan children.

whom he liked to refrain from profan-

biography of Toussaint L'Ouverture.
One day he told me the story of that
