camerOn's Announcement.
rom the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
Colonel John o. Winship, Of Cleve-
land. was in town the fore part of the
week. He called upon his old friend
and former ehum, Speaker Reed, and
they together related many incidents
of their early life in Maine.
Meeting Mrs. Hannibal Hamlin al
the Shoreham," said Colonel Win
ship, "recalls the last time that saw
her distinguished husband. During
the Blaine campaign, in 1884, Hamlin
made few speeches in Ohio, and when
he came to Cleveland, I invited him
out to my home. He was in pleas
ant mood and told number Of funny
stories. One of them, which Ireeall
now, | tell in his own words, as nearly
as possible.
In 1852, when / was a Democrat,
said Hamlin, Il was announced to adj
dress Democratic meeting with James
Buchanan at Lancaster, Pa. Simon
Cameron presided. The meeting was
held in a large auditorium, from which
all the seats had been removed. The
hall was packed to the door by men
standing up. There was a perfect sea
of faces.
al was the first speaker and for an
hour or more held the undivided at
tention of the big audience. 1t seems
that while was speaking several per-
sons in the back part Of the hall had
suffered the loss of their pocketbOoks.
The sergeant Of police, who was in the
hall, worked his way through to the
stage and whispered 10 Cameron to an
nounce that there We're pickpockets in
the hall and that the people should be
on their guard and protect themselves.
Cameron, of course, intended max
ing the announcement at the close of
my speech, but in the applause that
followed he forgot it. When quiet was
restored, he introduced Buchanan to
the audience as their distinguished
fellow-eitizen. buchanan got up, and, ],
surveying the crowd of his old neigh
bors, began:
"'''I assure you, my fellow-eitizens,
that it is indeed pleasure TO return to
my old home and meet you again. /
like to look into the honest faces Of the
people of Lancaster. a more honest
people does not exist than in this dear
old county
Cameron just at this point thought
of what he had forgotten, and, inter
rupting Buchanan, said:
"'"I am requested by the sergeant
of police to state that several persons in
the audience have had their pocket
books stolen, and to ask you to be on
the alert to intercept the guilty ones. "
"'Of clLrse, there was great laIgh-
ter, but Buchanan passed it Off casually
and proceeded with his speech.

is healthy sign that the herculean task
dealing with the enormous output Of

and it Is to be noted that the principal

hitherto been found practicable
q The basis of the compilation is of

upon the weekly and monthly issues Of

CHARGES AGAINST RED GROSS.
Surgeon Appen Reports That Miss Barton
Refused to Help Soldiers.

New York, November 3.-Following is
an extract OF the report of Major A. r..
Appel, lsurgeon U. S. A., in charge of
the hospital ship Olivette to the surgeon
general, q. S. A., at Washington:
"While the relief association did excel
lent work during the latter part of the
war in the emergency of the campaign at
Santiago, the medical department of the
army was our soul reliance and required
oil the training and experience of the
corps, few enough in number to meet the
emergency.
"There was no lack, whatever, of neces-
sary medical and surgical supplies. But
after the battle OF Quasimas. when we
brought the wounded down the hill at
Sihoney, they were woefully lacking of
change of raiment. having landed with
but the clothes they had on their backs.
which were torn into rags, covered with
mud and saturated in many instances
with blood from their wounds.
"The steamer State of Texas, chartered
and loaded with supplies of all kinds by
the Red Cross association with Miss Clara
Barton on board, about this time came to
anchor at Siboney. Accompanied by my
upon Miss Barton, explained to her the
situation and asked whether she could
supply these mon with clean underwear
or pajamas. The president of the National
Red Cross society received me most
cordially, showed me the cargo manifest
of the State of Texas, wherein there were
listed numerous boxes of clothing but
stated that the supplies we're not for the
soldiers; it was the governments business
to look after them. not the business at the
Red Cross snd that all supplies in her
charge were for the Cuban reconceutra-
does, and all would be held until it was
possible to deliver them to these people,
"Vhere was at that time number of
surgeons on board the State of Texas and
four trained nurses, but although we
were working night aud day taking care
of the sick and wounded, no assistance
was given by them until some days after
ward, when our own men were ready to
drop from fatigue.
''My mission. so far rs the Red Cross
ship was concerned, was failure. The
net result was q society tract which Miss
Barton kindly presented to me. AS was
leaving the ship was requested to accept
few BOTTLES Of matted milk. About a
month later I reosived communication
from the accountant of the association
requesting receipt for the same as basis
upon which to make a claim upon the
government for Reimbursement"
