DISBANDMENT OF A FAMOUS
ARMY.

Macaulay s memorable description o
the disbAndment Of Cromwell's army
applies in many respects, thinks the
Leavenworth (Kau.) Times, to what
happened when the union army was
mustered out after the civil war and
what is happening now, MacAulay
says:
.Tne troops were now to be disband-
ed. Fifty thousand men, accustomed TO
the profession of arms, we.e at once
thrown on the world; and experience
seemed to warrant the belief that this
change would produce much misery
and crime; that the discharged veter
ans would be seen begging in every
street, or that they would be driven by
hunger to pilage. But no such result
followed. In q few months there re-
mainei not trace indicating that the
most formidable army in the world had
Just been absorbed iato the mass OF the
continuity. The royalists themselves
confessed that in every department OF
nonest industry the discarded warriors
prospered beyond other meD; that none
we're charged with any theft OF robbery,
that none was heard TO ask al aims,
and that, if baker, a mason or wag-
oner attracted notice by his diligence
and sobrieiy, he was in | probability
one of Divers cid soldiers "

These false prophets knew not the

A certain woman of this town Is
noted for her kindness to animals.
says the Milwaukee Sentinel. She has
way of bringing stray dogs and cats

with a heart overflowing with such
affection for her four-footed brethren.
as she calls them, that over and over
again she persuades unwilling people
into becoming guardians to one-eared
felines and sad yisaged ours. Not long
ago this woman was visiting in mo

to play the old joke -the blind pig
on her. telling her with great concern
that they were running such an ami
NAL just outside of the town That was
enough. The kindly woman put on her
bonnet and set of for the village mar
shal or some such functionary. and
with tears in her eyes protested
against such cruelty.
II can't see why they should be run
ming a blind pig she said very ear
nestly, the poor thing can't have
harmed anyone, but anyway it ought
to be stopped and the marshal SOL
EMMY agreed with her.
But the point of the story lies in
this: When the man who put up the
joke conided the delight in it TO an
other woman and expected her to
laugh with him. all he got was loo.,
OF wonder from two big brown eyes
and the question:
well, what we're they running the
blind pig for anyway"

WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-It is be-
lie-ed that General Shafter and the
rest of the American troops have
embarked at Santiago for Montauk
Point. Some uneasiness is felt in
army circles that General Garcia will
seize this opportunity to force an en-
trance into the city. He has threat
ened that on the oath he will enter
Santiago with thirteen thousand men.
If he attempts to enter the city there
win be battle more severe than
that of FL Caney. The American
troops at Santiago are now under
the command Of General Lawton and
consist of the immune regiment of
Colonel Hood, the regiment of Col.
Sargent, Eighth Illinois volunteers,
negro, the First regiment immunes
of Galveston, and the the Third regi.
ment immunes under Colonel Rhea,
in all about six thousand men IN The

CROWS FIGHT A TURTLE.
MARYLAND Man Gomez TO the hesese
81 Ons of the Birds HELD Pras-
oasr by the Reptils.

Benjamin Rust, of Chestertown, Nd.
gives an interesting account of a COM
bat between a large swapping turtle
and a vast number of crows. which he
witnessed a few days ago While noted
for his shyness. the crow is also noted
as a vicious fighter In defense OF his
own household. Mr.. Rust noted a great
commo;ion among the praws in mead
ow. The birds were darting down max
ing vicious thrusts with their beaks
and pounding away with their wings
at the same time keeping up tremen-
dous chatter.
II was noticed that one crow, though
tapping vigorously. was unable to get
away. An examination disclosed the
cause of the trouble TO be a big snap
ping turtle. which had seized crow
by the wing and held IL captive. and
was making his way TO branch. where
IL is supposed the bird would have
been dragged down and drowned, pre-
paratory to being eaten. Mr.. Rust cap
tursd the snapper and released the
crow.
Snappers do no small amount of dam
age 10 goslings and young ducks They
grab their prey by the foot us they swim
along. drag them beneath the water
and when they are drowned proceed to
dsvour them at their leisure.

Spanish Commission Appointed


Special TO the Record.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l9-Surprise
and qualification is expressed over
the information that Spain has al
ready appointed her commissioners
for Porto Rico and Cuba. She had
three days left and it was supposed
that the full limit of time would be
taken. 1t is now possible that the
joint commission will meet and begin
negotiations by the end of the month.
1t is probable that the reports of sick
ness and death at Santiago and the
fear that similar casualties may oc-
cur at other places, have hastened
movements. Three thousand Span
iso soldiers left Santiago today on the
transports Villadonga and Estrada
Six thousand more troops are now at
Guantanamo who cannot leave before
the end of the month.

waited on the governor. and told him
of the occasion of his putting in. add
ing that he surrendered the ship as a
prize, as well as himself and crew, as
prisoners of war, only requesting good
quarters. "No, sir" replied the gov

with hostile intentions, your ship
would then be a lawful prize. and your
people prisoners, but when. distressed

Here was fairness. The ship depart

cident in the port of London.

reporter on the claim of Admiral Cal

the present war has taught no lessons
in naval architecture, says: IF he
said that, he don't know what he is
talking about. This war has taught
q great many things. For one thing
it has shown the necessity of making
ships of war fireproof. After the
way the Spanish ships caught fire,
causing their destruction. there can
be no question about the Importance
of this change Admiral Sampson
followed this remark with review Of

the need Of smokeless powder and the
reasons Of the inefiiciency Of torpedo
