Sensational Testimony.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Those pre-
sent fairly gasped yesterday at the
testimony of Mrs. Jack Wilmerding.
great granddaughter of old Commodore
Vanderbilt, whose friends instituted
proceedings for her release from
Bloomingdale insane asylum, where
she has been incsrcerated for some
time.
Mrs. Wilmerding was on the witness
stand UPWARDS of three hours. She said
she was compelled to marry Jack Will
merding by her father. He abused her,
they parted, and her troubles drove
her to drink. 81 drank terribly, -
she said, "and smoked terribly, too.
Sometimes 1 drank quart OF whiskey
day and / smoked constantly-40
cigarettes a day-and ate nothing"
Mrs. Wilmerding denies she is in
sane, but admits that her dissipation
shattered her health and affected her
mind

STARVING
Cubans Appeal For Aid.

WASHINGTON August 10.-News OF
Cuban victories in the western pro-
vinces has reached Cubans in Wash
ingtOn, one of the battles being the
largest and most important events in
that part of the island. With the
news of the victory, however, comes
the story of the Cubans suffering from
starvation, and appeal for further aid
from the United States.
The principal battle was the result
of a successful attempt on the part of
Gen. Gomez with 5000 men to force
the trocha between Las Villas and
Cemaguay. The trocha at this import
ant point was garded by 1000 Spanish
under General Jimenez Castellanos.
Gomez led his soldiers, and the main
body of the Spsniards, after stub
born resistance, gave way before the
machete charge of the Cubans, and
the entire Cuban force passed over the
dividing line and marched with out fur
ther interruption to Cenaguay. Over
300 Spaniards were killed and 130 Gu
bans. There were many wounded on
both sides.
In Tres Palmas General Diaz with q
comparatively small body of Cubans
engaged Spanish column six hundred
strong, drove them out of the village
and took possession of it, together
with store of arms and provision.

Will Buy a New Flag.

The following letter was received to-
day from one of the leading citizens OF
FL Psso-s we'll known railroad official.
The spirit of the letter is that of the
respectable people of Ell Paso, and the
offer therein contained should shatter
Ell PASO, TEXAS, 10 August, 1898.
To the Editor of the HERALD: AS
one and on behalf of the patriotic peo-
pie of Ell Paso, the writer would like to
know why the custodians of the city
flag have not unfurled it to the gentle
breeZes and glorious sunshine of this
10th of August.
Can it be because they have found
that there is not wind enough to float
the starry banner?
Somebody is entirely too timid about
the weather. Let US wear the flag cut
and get a new one. If ever we show
our colors, now is the time to do so. 1t
is easy enough to be patriotic on the
Fourth of July. Let us distribute
more of the spirit of that day through
the year.
There is q pretty story about the mo-
nument maintained over the grave OF
the author of the "Stsr Spangled Ban
ner," which, true or not, has fine
sentiment and expresses my own in
regard to the city flag.
above author, an American flag con-
tinually floats day and night, winter
and summer, rain or shine, and when
one flag becomes worn and torn. it is
replaced by the donation of q new one
by some patriotic citizen of the COM
munity and it is fttingly true that
''the Star Spangled Banner yet
waves, over the grave of Francis Scott
Key.
Let us have little more of that kind
OF use of the flag, and 1 will undertake
to deposit with the city treasurer
money enough to duplicate our present
flag whenever the city authorities find
a new one necessary; and the HERALD
is authorized .to give my name to
the proper authorities if it is wanted
as an evidence of good faith in this Of
fer.
Without undertaking to speak for
any one else, 1 am sure that the people
OF this city will bear the expense of all
damage to our flag due to patriotic
exposure thereof to the elements.
Yours for q flag that will wave over
the city of Ell Paso. AMERICA.

Prehistoric AIamogordo.
Special correspondence of the Herr

ALAMOGORDo, N. NJ. Aug. o.
While laying the water main from the
Alamo Canon to AlamogOrdo the work.
men unearthed, in an old prehistoric
Indian town, some human bones which
crumbled to pieces when exposed to
the air, and some corn on the cob.
which had been charred and buried in
the grave, presumably for the occu-
pants use upon his lost long journey.
Alamogordo is surrounded by these
old Indian towns, called Montezumas
by the Mexican natives, but there is
no record as to when they were in
habited. Arrow heads, shell orna-
meuts, aud stone axes are frequently
found, while broken pottery and the
stone morters used to grind corn are
found in large quantity.
The outlines of some of the houses
can still be seen, and irrigating ditch
es can still be traced. There is
chance to study ancient American his
tory. And the Ell PasO and Northeast
ern has made this part of the old new
world easily and comfortably reached.
N. G. Talley while out prospecting
last Sunday in the Alamo Canon south
east of Alamogordo, found in cave in
the rock piece of earthen ware potte-
ry. It was more than half buried in
the dust that had accumulated for ages.
It was not broken and is as good and
servicesble today as when it left the
Indian makers hands.
A curious piece of iron. rust laden
and showing the unmistakable signs
of many years of exposure to the
weather, maybe, OF centuries, was
picked up in Mule Canon near Alamo
gordO, N. M. It is embossed on one
side with figures of animals, twining
vines and flowers, and at one time
evide otly was part of the fancy iron
mountings of some old treasure chest.
1t must have been brought to this part
of the world by some of the old Span
ish conquestadores. The mountains
and foothills in the vicinity of Alamo
gordo offer q rich field for the Ameri-
can antiquarian.

Heavy Shipments of Mexican
Dollars

AUSTIN, TEXAS, Aug. 1O-Heavy
shipments of Mexican dollars still con-
tinue to pass through this city. These
shipments are averaging 100000 per
day, and are consigned to New York.
The dollars are coined at the Mexican
mints from silver bullion shipped to
Mexico for that purpose from the silver
smelter at Omaha.
The ultimate destination of the
money is said to be China and the
Philippine islands.
