JOSEPH P. SMITH.
Something More of the Man Who
 Worked Himself to Death.

Acsine Governor Charles H. Akers yesterday received a touching letter from the widow of Joseph F. Smith, late chief of the bureau of American republics, in acknowledgment of message of sympathy sent her on the death of MT. Smith. As has been men tioned in The Republican, MT. Smith
 died in Florida, where he had gone for his health His intense patriot
 ism which he instilled into his chil-
 dren, has also been widely described
 One beautiful patriotic custom which
 had been adopted at the Smith house
 was the putting up of a flag whenever
 MI. Smith returned from one of his
 many journeys. When he died and his
 remains were being taken back to his
 home at Urbana, o. his little son asked Don't yoa think we had better l.l.t the flag at half mast, for nov papa is coming home dead?"
 Few men of MT. Smiths age have baan so generally mourned and few have had so many kind things said
 ,s em. J. J. Dickinson lately pub lished long article in the St. Louis Republic under the title of f'McKin-
 leys Real Friend Was Smith: The
 Man Who Worked Himself to Death Chiefly for Another" He says among I other things: If ever a human being had an alter ego, Smith was McKin- ley's." Then he proceeded to de- scribe the wonderful similarity Of the characters of the two men. Regard ing Smiths great capacity for work, he says: Smith killed himself at it. still he liked it and I hope that if there is tomorrow of death Joe Smith is finding unceasing occupation for his tireless mind; otherwise he is not en- toying himself"
 With single exception every ut terance regarding him has been in praise of him. The exception ap- peared soon after his death in a New York paper and was known to have l been written by a man who was hold ing an appointive official position He
 was dismissed on the day the article
 appeared. When he called upon his chief for an explanation, the chief re-
 piled: Your consciousness of having
 defamed Joe Smith ought to be sufi- ciently explanatory"

 we don't want any colored trash looking on here, mister; you go away
 ..I am a reporter, madam, and l just came up to see what was going on, said the reporter meekly.
 q don't care if you are the porter, was her quick reply, "you can't stay here Colored persons ain't lowed up here"
 She slammed the stair door on the reporters back as he started off, and the ball progressed until midnight, when the roosters of the neighborhood broke up the party with their usual midnight acclaims.

reporter dropped in at a dancing hall last night, attracted by the waltz music of a string band and the merry laughter of the participants within. It was his last round for the morning paper, and he walked up the stairs with the hope of picking up an item of news. He found a jolly party of colored people gathered in the hall and as he entered they were in the mazes of waltz. The scene was interesting and he fingered at the top of the stairs. When the waltz was over and the dancers were promenading to their seats he noticed large woman dressed

Woods Plan to Help Cubans.

New York, Oct. IA special to the Her

ent plans are carried out, it is expected
the evacuation of Cuba will have been
completed by Dec. 81, and the new year
will see the American colors raised all
over the island. 1t is now believed the
plans will be carried out because adj
vices today from the military commission
in Havana indicate that Spain Will no
longer contend for delay. II is said the
troopships which took the prisoners from
Santiago will promptly return to Cuba
TO facilitate a speedy evacuation. These
transports have a capacity of 25,0OO am

more than 60O00 or 5000 soldiers will re

Sisting on chunks of ill-cooked beef and
vile biscuit-an excellent field oven ly-

ITO sum UP. the subsistence depart

many cases suffered for want of
wholesome food because they did not
know how to handle the rations fur
nished.
'Quartermaster's D p a + t m n t.
Clothing, camp and garrison equip
ment were sometimes of poor quality,
the natural result OF an effort to equip
some 225, 900 men when supplies had
been prepared for only $4,000. This
difficulty in supply was much increased
by the lack of knowledge on the part
of staff officers fresh from civil life,
ignorant of the methods and manner OF
supplying an army. At Tampa the
difficulty was again increased by the
crowded and congested condition eX-
listing along the railroad tracks and
store houses scattered over the sands.
In many cases the men suffered from
lack of clothing, when a good supply
was on hand within five miles of their
camps.
"Clothing.-The United States cloth
ing on hand at the declaration of the
blue trousers and shirts were of poor
quality. On the whole, considering the
emergency. 1 think no blame can be at
tached to the quartermaSter'S depart
ment in this matter.
Medical OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES many
complaints have been made regarding
medical supplies, my experience with
the Fourth corps leads. me to believe
that the surgeon general has accom-
plished an arduous task under very
trying circumstances. 1t is difficult to
provide a full supply of medical sup
plies when troops are ordered suddenly
to many unexpected places. and when
the movements are accompanied by
serious outbreaks of sickness. This
difficulty was increased in many in
stances by the fact that most Of the
regimental, brigade and division sur
geonS were entirely new to military
work. / am well satisfied that the sur
geon general worked admirably to sup
ply my corps and was ably assisted by
Chief Surgeon Robert NJ. O'Reilly, to
whose ability and energy I feel, on be-
half of my troops, greatly indebted.
Ordnance Departmental the out
break Of the trouble with Spain we had
about "a, 500 men, infantry, well sup
piled with arms, but short of ammuni-
ton. A few days after we were called
on to equip for the field some 225, 900
men, simply an impossibility in the
time allowed. We placed many of these
men in the ranks short of cartridges,
short of cartridge belts, armed with
musketS of antique pattern, interest
ing in a museum, but out of place in a
modern battle. For this / have no
blame whatever to attach to the chief
of ordnance. He was simply given an
impossible task

ed at the navy department today for
the construction of four harbor defense
vessels of the monitor type, authorized

allowance was made in favor of the
Pacific coast shipbuilders. Thessnonitors
are to be built strictly in accordance
with the departments designs In type
they have no duplicates in modern ship
construction and more than anything
else resemble the little monitors which
distinguished themselves in the civil
war, but vastly superior in actual pow
er. Their usefulness will be strictly
limited to coast defense. Their speed
will be u knots, about double that of
the old vessels. Their batteries will
consist of two Pinch breech-loading
rifles, capable of piercing the sides of
nfne-tenths of the naval vessels of the
world: four 4-inch rapid-fre guns and
seven smaller caliber rapid-fire guns,
like those that did such service in the
destruction of Cervera's feet. The mon
itors will be 225 feet long, so feet broad,
and draw about 1215 feet of water

are now publishing their recoIlectionS
OF the great statesman. They relate
that Bismarck, at the age of IS, al
most decided to challenge Count Won
Capriyi, the former chancellor. to d

came aware that Caprivi, on the Occa-

the German ambassadors abroad, say
ing Prince Bismarck was a private gen
tleman, and must be so treated, and
that his views no longer had any
weight
Prince Bismarck. in conversation
with a friend afterward, said: That
Caprivi should interfere with my So
cial rights is going too far. / first
wanted to challenge him, and had al
ready thought about seconds. I still
have very firm hand, and would soon
have got IN shooting trim again. But

myself what would happen. 1 am an

before a court of honor of old generals.
There would be much talk and finally

this? So I gave up the idea"
EXPULSION OF ANARCHISTS.
The governments of the various Ger
man states began this week to act
within their own spheres in expelling
foreigners who have become prominent
as anarchists or extreme socialist agf-
tators. The government of SaXOny ex-
PEELED two leading Polish socialists and
number of anarchist writers. Ba-
varia followed suit. The PruSSian gov
eminent has given a number of Aus
TRAN and Russian agitatOrs, including
the German anarchist, Bader Landeur,
fortnight's notice to leave the coun-
try.
The socialists held 26 mass meetings
at Hamburg this week to protest
against Emperor Williams strike
speech, and the intention of the gov
eminent to restrict the right to strike.
