1t was bad enough to have the town
declared open when 10 of them in a
body had proclaimed it closed, but in
addition to this to BIZ called Greasers
was an insult not to be borne. A cow

and on their horses like cyclone. They
went down the street like tornado,
wheeling about some distance below
the temporarily closed bank and charg-

direction of Hickory Sam, who was
crouching behind an empty whisky bar

Sam made good his contention by

But the boys knew when they had

JEWS In THE ARMY.

His Duty as Citizen.

The Israelite Is Always Ready to Peform
His Duty as q Citizen.
The record of the Jews in the United
States navy is very honorable one,
and shows they were represented in
all grades, from the man before the
mast to flag officer, and it is due to
Jew, Captain Uriah Philip Levy, that
corporal punishment was abolished in
the United States navy, and of the
five names inscribed on the Tripoli
monument, in the naval academy
grounds, one, Midshipman Israel, ia
that of Jew.
The following list. giyesthe number
of Jews who served in the various
wars:
In the Continental army,.."........... 46.
In the war Of 1872 2,................."....... a.
In the Mexican war,........................ %.
In the United States regular army. 70.
In the United States navy,................. ie.
In the Civil war; -
Staff officers in the Union army,.."..." 70.
In the Confederate army,................. "a.
Officers in the Confederate army,...... IL.
Soldiers in the Union and Confeder-
ate armies. ,So4.
The largest number of Jews enlisted
from New York, where 1897 were en-
rolled and went to the front. Ohio
came next with 1,004 men, and llli-
nois next, with 702. Louisiana furn-
ished the Confederacy with 224 Jewish
soldiers, which was more than bal
anced by little New Jerseys list of
227 in the Union army.
The proposition to have a parade OF
the Jewish soldiers has been spoken
of but men of standing in the Jewish
community laugh at the idea, and say
that they will not encourage the
scheme.
1--WE are proud to have the men
come out to our places of worship"
said member of the Orthodox Society,
land the field uniform of United
States soldier looks we'll in syna-
gogue, and there he may be Jew but
on parade he can he only soldier,
and no one should question his religion,
nor should he make show of it."
1.-The Jew had large representation
in the volunteer arm which is now be-
ing disbanded, and the history of mod
ern war shows that wherever the
Jews have the rights Of citizens they
become soldiers. During the Franco
German war; services were held on
an important holiday in the field, at
which hundreds of Jewish soldiers
worshipped, and the records show that
similar services were held in the south
during the war of the rebellion. Many
of the Jews who were members of the
present volunteer army have been dis
charged; but it is believed that the
names will be reported, so that the
Jew did his share of the fighting"

There had been difficulty in getting
the transports to lie as near in shore
as was desirable, rendering it difficult
to get at supplies promptly.
The masters of the transports claim
ed to have their authority from the
quartermaster's department; but he
thought the commanding officers had
acted independently as to how far in
they should lie.
Referring to the sleeping apartments
on the transports, General Wheeler
said they were quite warm, and there
was some discomfort. He had often
gone down among the men at night,
and found that there was compare
lively little complaint, except for the
heat.
Coming back from Santiago to Mon
tauk, he had sailed on the Miami, hav-
ing chosen it because it was said to be
the worst. He had found it very com.
Portable, and when they landed there
were only "a sick, and only three or
four of these were too i'll to stand up
for inspection. There was plenty OF
water on the vessels and sufficiency
of ice for the sick, though not for
others. After the destruction of Ger
vera's fleet and there was no danger
from navigating the sea, the army was
more abundantly supplied than any
army field had ever been. The vari-
GUS societies had, he said, responded
most literally to the needs of the
army. Asked if he thought there had
been any neglect in preparing for the
campaign, he said he had been so
busily occupied that he had not given
the matter great attention, but he had
not thought at the time that any pre-
caution had been neglected.
He said, in reply to a question, that
the tents had been left on board the
transports, and that this had been be-
cause of the feeling that no time should
be consumed in removing them. ave
were there for business" he said, "and
we felt that prompt Decentralization
and a speedy movement to the front
would impress the enemy more than
anything else we could do"
But if they had had the tents they
would have used them. There was
also shortage at this time of trans
portation facilities toward the front.
His own illness had been caused by
exposure, and he had not himself been
supplied with tent.
II was more shifty than some of the
soldiers" he said. ~ stretched a little
old cloth from a tree to protect my
face from the dew, but any soldier
could have done the same thing"
General Wheeler recommended that
there should be we'll trained teamsters
regularly enlisted and employed.
During his examination General
Wheeler stated that previous to the
capitulation of Santiago, General Shat
ter had written him letter asking his
views in regard to changing base and
attacking the forts in front of Santiago,
but he said he had advised strongly
against this course, as it would have
left San Juan hill, which he considered
invulnerable, to be retaken by the
Spaniards. General Wheeler denied
that there had been an ambuscade at
Quasima.

When Hickory Sam was comparative

without opposition. 1t was their custom
when the capital of Coyote county had
been closed up to their satisfaction to

decorations of the saloon ceiling. Sever
al cowboys had a gift of twirling their
Winchester repeating rifles around the
forefnger and firing it as the flying
muzzle momentarily pointed upward.
The man who could put the most bull
lets within the smallest space in the
roof was the expert of the occasion and
didn't have to pay for his drinks.
This exhibition might have made
many man quail, but it had no effect
on Hickory Sam. who leaned against
the bar and sneered at the show as
ohild's play.

Hickory Sam merely laughed, strode
