spread out in the form of a round fan,
dapp.ed with metallic black spots.
No less varied and wonderful are the
tails of the hummers. Robert Ridgway
says: The shape and development of the
tail feathers of the hummiug birds vary
to a degree that has no parallel among
other birds. many of the forms assumed
being also entirely unique" There are
deeply-fOrked and scissor-shaped tails,
wedged-shaped tails, double-rounded and
double-emarginated tails, tails with
streamers of curious forms, tails with
racket-shaped feathers and tails whose
quaint and elaborate structure defies de-
scription by any specified term. Several
species have long feathers that sweep
around in graceful festoOns, either run
ming parallel or else crossing each other.
These pennants are often free of vanes,
save at the end where there is a broad,
fan-like expansion. In one form these
elongated appeudages make a graceful
double curve and cross each other twice.
In another they bend outward and then
turn and cross each other near the end
like two curved swords.

SYLVESTER sCOVEBs OFFENsE.
After Our Flag Went Up in Santiago
He Struck at Gen. Shafter.

From the New York Herald.
Santiago, Cuba July 24.-There are sew
eral versions of the affair which resulted
in the deportation, under an armed guard
of Sylvester Scovel, a newspaper cores
pondent, whose portrait will not appear in
the snap ehots of the flag raising over
the palace on Monday last, following the
formal surrender of Santiago to the Amer
leans.
AS a result of being excluded from the
group of officers on the cupalo at the time
the flag was raised Scovel had an alterca-
ton with Mai. Gen. Shafter, and, 1t is
alleged struck the commander of the
American forces There is one story to
the effect that Gen. shafter struck the cor
respondent. AT any rate Scovel was placed
under arrest and sent to the United States
under orders that he shall not follow the
American army in the future
The version appended was obtained yes
terday from Capt. McKittrick of Gen.
Skaters staff, who was one of the Off
GERS having the flag raising in charge.
"The American troops said Capt Nc
Xittrck, were drawn UP in the plaza
and all the dignitaries and thousands be-
sides were assembled to witness the hoist
ing of the American flag over the palace.
Orders had been issued that only those
assigned to the duty of formally swing
ing the Stars and Stripes to the Cuban
breeze should enter the palace. When we
took our places on the cupola we noticed
a stranger in our midst, and Col. Mhey
Gen. Skaters chief of staff, asked: who
Is that?
'scovel,' promptly responded the man
himself.
" Well said Col. Miley, you will have
to get down from here right away.
d" IN not get down was the reply and
you can't make me go down.
" Wen see about that said Miley.
'CaH a guard and have this man removed
IF you are going to call a guard TO
put me down. then 1 will go replied
Scovel. and he left us
After the ceremony was over Scovel APP
preached Gen. Shafter through the crowd
and insisted on speaking with him. The
General tried 10 avoid him, but he per-
sisted. nally Gen. Shafter said:
" oh, go away, man, l don't want any
thing to do with you. You have been a
damned nuisance ever since you have
been on this island; go away from me-
and as ScoVel was sim persistent the gen
eral turned from him, endeavOring to push
him away as he did so. Thereupon Scovel
struck at the general"

THE HISTORY OF HAMPSHIRE.
Out ct Last, After vexatious Delays

Swisher's History of Hampshire
county is out at last, after long and
vexations delays and disappointmepts,
due to an unforeseen accident which
occurred to the press of the printers,
necessitatlng the printing of part
of the book in Philadelphia, as well
as a delay on the part of the binders,
making the issue of the book two
months later than had been expected.
The books arrived here Monday and
Mr. Swisher, who has been at his
home on the Levels for several days,
arrived here yesterday morning and
began the distribution Of the work to
subscribers. The Book more than
fulfills expectations and will be high
ly satisfactory to the public. A num-
her of orders have already been re-
ceived, we learn, by persons who
were not originally subscribers and
it is more than probable that every
single copy of the book will be quick
ly sold. 1t is a work that no citizen
of the county, who has a family, can
afford to do without, If they are at
all able to buy it.--Hampshire Re
