"THE LAST HOPE"
GottschnIIx's immortal Piece written
in Santiago.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Louis Moreau Gottschak wrote his i'm
mortal 1.-THE Last Hope" In Santiago.
Originally an Improvisation the compost
ton was subsequently penned by him
and became a part of the classical instru-
mental music of the world. An adapta-
ton Of 1t for the violin and mandolin was
made by Remenyi years after, but not
until the Spanish musicians Of Santiago
had incorporated 1t into the song literat-
IRE of their cline and made it, as have
other men and women, a part Of their
own lives. The average pianist american
or otherwise is not familiar with the
work. since 1t is both difficult to read
and interpret. But Ii ever man wrote

Gottschalk was born IN New Orleans

his writing in 1858 of him, said that 1.-THE

mixture failed to give him certain coarse
strength OF nature, seemingly essential
for the development of the highest genius,

Der merchant. Contains 100000 acres of
virgin forest, In which are to be found
upward of forty species of valuable hard

most of the Islands resources, has been
neglected under Spanish rule. These great
forests are practically unexplored. They
have certainly never been surveyed by ex-
perts, though they viii be mines of wealth
for the first lumberman who exploits their
contents. A. for the exports OF wood,
about $4,000 a year, they represent a small
fraction Of the possible product. The wood
which comes to market in largest quantity
from Cuba Is cedar which Is wonderfully
abundant In Pinar del Rio and the east

Boys of Company E."
1t appears that after receiving their pay
a number of the boys conceived the idea
of visiting home, and not being able to
secure the necessary leave, they decided
to go anyhow, and eleven men Showed
up missing" from Company E.
Col Lawton had reason to suspect where
they were, and he telegraphed to Capt.
Bell, his recruiting officer at Macon, to
watch the trains, which was done. Every
one of the runaway boys was nabbed as
he stepped off the train and put in the
guard house, and the telegram was the
result. The colonel sympathizes with the
boys very much, but he will not order
their release, but stated to-day that he
would order a detail to Macon to bring
them back TO camp.
A breach of this kind could not, he said,
be overlooked. The boys will be subject
10 a rigid court when they return.
A number of men, residents of Savan-
nah left to-day for that city, having OBJ
tanned a leave for visit to their homes
for few days.
As a result Of the pay day festivities,
fifteen of the boys were tried to-day for
absence without leave, and were fined s.
each and given short terms in the guard
house.

day and paid off the men.

WINS on A FOUL.
The American Boat Given the Race
at DorVaI, Quebec.

Dorval, Quebec, Aug. 1S.-The first race
of the series between the champion racers
of the Royal st. Lawrence Club of this
city and the northumberland
Yacht Club, whose headquarters are at
Oyster Bay, N. Y, was sailed to-day and
was won by the American boat on foul.
The race was a splendid one from start
to finish, and was over a twelve-mile
course, the buoys being two miles apart
and the yachts rounding each three times.
The Canadian boat Dominion finished six
seconds ahead of her rival, the Challeng-
er, but because of the foul, the latter was
given the race. Had they gone 100 yards
longer the Challenger would undoubtedly
have won, as she gained very rapidly on
the last leg.
