That prolific writer, Lincoln J. Carter,
has given the stage another play, and 1t
will be seen for the first time in this city
at the Grand Opera House for three
nights and Saturday matinee, beginning
Thursday evening next, at popular prices.
Remember the Maine is the title Of the
new effort, and accounts agree that Mr.
Carter has constructed a drama that is
better than anything that he has yet
done 1t deals with the recent war and
the destruction of the Maine. 1t Is sen-
sational and covers incidents from the
time of the Maine disaster until Dewey
destroyed the Spanish fleet at Manila.
Hal Reid who wrote Human Hearts,
is largely responsible for the literary part
Of the play, and 1t is claimed, has made
play rather above the Carter standard In
this respect The latter, however, con-
ceived the mechanical and scenic effects
and he is known to be master in that
sort Of work 1t Is claimed that he has
surpassed all previous efforts in this d.
rection and has introduced a number Of
very remarkable effects TO arouse the
interest of an audience. The story of the
drama is interesting and the plot devel-
OPS a number of highly dramatic and
startling climaxes. The company Is said
to be a strong one and the various details
are worked out in a manner that reflects
credit upon those who are responsible for
the play

the men home. Their route lay nearly
300 miles north to Washington, and
every foot of that, through rain and
alternate blistering heat and chill,
they marched, footsore, though they
were from a winter campaign of more
than 600 miles of march and battle.
1t was Joy when they left Washing
ton that they could get box cars to
ride in and on-for all could not get
in. With this sort of transportation
they rode to the Ohio river; then
crowded on hurricane and boiler decks
of freightb0ats they lay down at night
with no covering but the stars.
Arrived at Louisville Ky. where the
veterans were mobilized, they put up
their frayed and worn dog tents in
open fields under the burning sun,
when it shone; in the drenching rain
when it fell. there was no extra ac-
commodation for the sick, even though
the war was over. Indeed, the writer
of this knows as fact that his regi-
ment was without even its regimental
surgeons, those officers having been
left behind with the sick and wounded
at Goldsboro and Washington, and the
men had to go to the surgeon of an
Ohio regiment for their ''quinine."
When at last, after weeks and weeks
of waiting through the hot month of
June and into July, the regiment was
mustered out, the men were again
loaded on box cars and transported up
through Indiana and across Illinois to
the vicinity of Springfield, where they
went into bivouac in the hazel "ruffs"
and underbrush some ten days, get
ting final pay and discharge. And
from this point they went to their vari-
Gus homes in the distant parts of the
state, and some to other states, each
paying his own fare and for what he
ate along the way.-Macomb Wl.)

and from them information of a more
serious nature than anything heard

WERE SHORT oE RArIoNs.

A Witness Before the War Investlgation
Commisslon Tells of n Scarcity OF Sugar
and coffes During the santiago Campaign.
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE war in-
vestigating commission had three wit
nesses before it yesterday-Capt. Gull
yer, of Grigsby's Rough Riders; DR..
Hysell, chief surgeon of the Second
division, located at Camp Thomas, and
Maj. Gallagher, who was in charge of
various commissary depots in the San
tiago campaign.
Culver stated that at one time %
of his men were sick. He thought the
proportion not excessive-no greater
than during the first days of the civil
war and until the men learned to de-
pend upon the army ration and not
to go outside for food. He thought
the pies sold to the men were un-
wholesome and also said that much
stale fried chicken was sold to them.
DR.. Hyselrs testimony dealt with
the sanitary and hospital conditions
at Camp Thomas. He said there was
less typhoid fever in the troops of the
Second division than in the other di-
visions and stated that upon his ad-
vice the division had secured its water
from outside springs, instead of from
the Chickamauga river, as he con-
sidered the river water liable to be
impure.
Mai. Gallagher detailed the process
of supplying rations to the troops in
the field. He said that at one time
there was a deficiency in coffee and
sugar for two days and expressed the
opinion that this shortage would have
proved serious if it had continued for
any length of time. He said the sup
ply of lighters was not sufficient to
permit the accumulation of any con-
siderable quantity of food at any one
time.
At Siboney the rations, he said,
were forwarded almost as rapidly as
landed. Only very small quantities
could be accumulated, yet the COM
missary at Siboney had been able to
meet all acquisitions made for rations
by the troops and no one was ever
refused. He heard no complaint of
lack of rations at the front. At first
they were able to forward about 30,-
900 rations per day. From Siboney
miles inland. At this point there were
never enough rations on hand for
even a day ahead, and it was impossi-
BILE to fill all the acquisitions.
Col. DENLY pressed for information
as to the shortage of coffee and sugar
and Gallagher stated that there were
probably two days when the men
were without these articles. A storm
was the immediate cause of this def
cheney, but if there had been a sufti-
cheney of lighters this deficiency
would not have occurred. The major
said there was not to his knowledge
shortage in any other article of food
during the campaign.
Maj. Gallagher said that of the five
civilian assistants he had had two
were inefficient and Indifferent to
their duties. Mr.. Gallagher said the
commissary supply at Montaull was
abundant and good while he was at
that point.

AS 1T WAS IN ,6s.
A March of 800 Miles before the Lux
ury of Box Cars Was
Obtainable.

There are thousands of old soldiers
left who remember how, after four
years of fighting and marching un-
precedented in the worlds history,
they rejoiced when they had the priv
ilege of coming home in and on box
cars. When johnson surrendered and
the war closed, Sherman's army, which
was composed of men from the west,
and in which were many Illinois regi-
ments, were southwest of Raleigh in
the interior of North Carolina. We're

ger cars of the most dilapidated sort?

lMPUDENT DONS.
They Ask Uncle Sam to Pay the
Cuban Debt.
Poace Commissioners Hold Their Fourth
Joint Session and All siRns Indicate
that They ars Far from an
Agreement Any OF tho
Main Questions at Issue.

Paris, Oct. 12.-After fourth Joint
session lasting from 2 o'clock yester-
day afternoon to AIS, the American
and Spanish peace commissions ad-
iourned without having reached a
final conclusion as to any point in the
protocol. Thus far there has been
no joint formulation of views to be
returned by each commission to it's
government for embodying in the
final treaty. The question of the
Philippines has not yet been con-
sidered in joint session, though the
Americans at their separate sessions
have acquired exhaustive information
from persons who have lived in the
Philippine islands and done business
there. They are now, therefore, well
equipped to discuss the subject when
it comes up.
The Spaniards, it is believed, have
| asked to have the Cuban debt as
sumed by the United States, urging
| that the debt should pass with the
sovereignty. The debt so presented
for American assumption covers the
| expense of the ten years insurrection,
the recent insurrection and the war
with the United States as far as
Spain's outlay in the war can be class
flied against Cuba. The Americans
probably have replied that if any part
of the so-called Cuban debt is allow
able, the part incurred in suppressing
instructions o. Eith the United
States is not allo 1able.
The Spaniards will also urge equi-
ties in stocks, water front better
ments, public buildings and perhaps
war material. 1t is possible that this
contention will receive consideration
on the basis of equities between mort
gagor and mortgagee. Thus far no
disposition has been developed on
either side to delay the ultimate con-
clusions and the end of the work on
hand. The adjournment yesterday
was to Friday.

WIEN MARTIAL LAW CAME.
Experience of Amateur COnspIratOrs
In n Western Town In

Martial law has not yet been de
clared in this country, and l reckon
there will be no occasion for it," said a
man who had all sorts of experiences
in the civil war. Next to being shot
at, there is nothing that annoys an
American more than martial law. 1t
was that which caused me to go into
the conspiracy to smash the govern
ment.
SIN the town where lived in the
west durisft the civil war was a man
who had been my lawyer many years.
He had won his spurs in the Mexican
war. He was colonel. For a long
time we did not know where he stood
on the proposition to separate the
country. But as he was noted for his
reticence, we did not think it strange
and concluded that he was with us.
His Office was on the shady side of the
street, and the first summer of the war
found a row of tilted chairs, filled with
whittlers cussin' the government, in
front of his office. Occasionally we
would spring constitutional point,
and if we disagreed we left it to Col.
Bassett, who sat at a window. After
extracting the juice from select ar
ticle of natural leaf he would give his
decision, to wit. 1t depends and when
he got through we dropped the point

GONE TO HIS REWARD.
Death Claims Rear Admiral Febigsr. One
OF tho Old School of Naval Omcsrs.

Easton. Nd, Oct. 11.-Rear Admiral
John c. Feblger, U. S. N, retired, died
Sunday at his residence near Easton,
in his 18th year. He entered the navy
as midshipman from Ohio in 1888
and was in the Concord, of the Brazil
squadron, when she was wrecked on
the eastern coast of Africa in 1S43.
After commanding various vessels in
the west gulf and the Mississippi
squadrons in the civil war he was as
signed to the Matabeset, of the North
Atlantic squadron, and took part in
the fight between the little fleet of
wooden vessels and the Confederate
ram Albemarle in Albemarle sound,
in which the ram was defeated Fe-
bigger was commended for his gallan-
try by Rear Admiral Lee. He rose
to rear admiral and in July, 1882, was
retired on his own application, having
been in the service over 40 years.
