Inc smart Young Man, the Grizzly Old
One and the Mule.
The very smart young man stopped
to listen to the grizzled old fellow who
was talking as he leaned against the
lunch counter
'There amt much use beating a
mule y he was saying. "You've got to
convince him. You've got to argue
with him. He may not understand Just
what you are saying, but the tones Of
your voice Will give him a good idea of
what kind Of man you are. And if you
can prove your intellectual superiority
by some stratagem the chances are that
he'll be respectful and obedient ever
after.'
"You have to swear at mules a great
deal, don't you?' said the smart young
man, who was evidently growing un-
easy at seeing the conversation progress
SO far without his being in it.
The narrator paid no attention to
him, but proceeded:
Il used to have mule that would
follow me like a kitten. He was as
obstinate and i'll natured as any animal
ever saw when first got him. But
subdued him by an old trick, one that
read about in a newspaper. He had
made up his mind to balk, and l coayed
and persuaded until my voice gave out
and beat him until l was tired He
didn't pay the slightest attention to it.
Then l thought of this old story and
got some kindling wood. l built good
fire under him, and it's needless to say
that he started. -
YES exclaimed the very smart
young man, ''but that's one on you.
You forgot the last part of the story
You know the mule moved just far
enough to get away from the heat and
left the vehicle to which he was attach
ed standing over the blaze, where it
caught fire.

mule didn't act that way. He was

THE ARTHUR HlDER

This handsome new boat, the
latest addition to the fleet Of the
river commission at Greenyille, is
worthily named in honor Of the
chief engineer-an honor which
is appreciated, not only by HIM
self, but by the community in
which he is held in such high es-
TEEN. The boat is q gem of its
kind, furnished throughout in the
highest and best style of modern
art, supplied with electricity, and
in every respect worthy Of its
place as the flagship Of the Gov
eminent Fleet On Thursday af-
ternoon a pleasant and congenial
party Of ladies and gentlemen
we're the guegts Of Captain Hider
on the boat for o trial trip of
about fifteen miles upstream and
return. The fact that Captain
Hider was the host Ia q sufficient
guaranty that the experience was
charming one. The afternoon
was perfect, and the excellent APP
pointments of the boat, the cour-
toou5 hospitality Of the host and
officers, and the delicious luncheon
which was served made the occasion
one long to be remembered with
pleasure by the fortunate partici-
pants. The trip was entirely sue
cessful in every respect, and en-
tirely satisfactory e the govern
ment officers aboard. The Doat is
40 feet long, 80 feet beam, has
four boilers and two engines IS
inches in diameter. and seven feet
stroke. She has all the latest inn
provemcnts in the machinery line,
a full electric light plant, and a
handsomely furnished cabin. The
hull is butt entirely Of steel and,
as whole, is a very staunch and
handsome craft, well worthy Of
the name she bears. The design
was made by Captain Hider him
self and the construction, from the
laying of the keel to the final

PASSENGERS AND GOLD
 FROM DAWSON CITY
Returning Klondikers Tell of Hard Times Ahead for Tenderfeet
 in Alaska.

SEATTLE, Ayg. 5.-The steam schooner Dirigo arrived from St. Michael Alaska, this morning with ninety-seven passen- gers and a small amount of gold dust Twenty-seVen of the passengers were from Dawson. The most of them went In overland this spring. They never stopped at Dawson but left right down on the river to St. Michael, where they took pas sage on the Dirigo The remaining pas sengers were laboring men from Unalaska and St Michael. Of the Klondikers those having gold dust were Charles Moore and J. H. Brown of Midland, Ontario, Canada, who had about $70 900 between them, and II. Miller with about the same amount. F. ". Spencer of Portland, Or, had about $40 900, made in Steamboating on the Up- per Yukon.
 It is estimated that the total amount of gold on the Dirigo was $200 900. J. H. Brown said people are fiocking out of Dawson as fast as they know how. A big crowd Is coming down the river in skins and on rafts There will be much suffer ing at St Michael unless the Government sends relief to the crowd drifting there, penniless and hungry. Alaska is good country and there is lots of gold there, but a majority of the tenderfeet who rushed in do not know how to handle 1t properly.
 The Dirigo left St. Michael July g. There was but little change in conditions at St. Michael All the stranded steamers except the National City and Progreso troubles and hope to get away soon It was expected that the National City would soon return to San Francisco with her passengers. Tbe army officials are al have no river connections to land if they have 1000 pounds of provisions and are willing to take chances on getting up the river. Under this ruling the Progreso out of her 300. The Tillamook had sailed for San Francisco before the Dirigo left.

INDIGNANT AT THE PROTEST
CABLE MESSAGE OF CENSURE
 SENT TO SKATER.
But the Captor of Santiago Shows That He Did Not Authorize the Publication of the
 Fever Statement.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK. Aug. 5.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: There was marked indignation to-day in administration circles over the protest from Colonel Roosevelt and the officers at Santiago against further needless suffering of the army there. The round robin" was earnestly dis cussed and remedies, for court-martial and reprimand were canvassed. % At last, as I am reliably informed a cable message of censure was sent to . General Shafter. General Shafter re- piled and as. a result Secretary Alger stated tonight he was now satisfied that General Shafter did not authorize the publication. of the statement
 The prevailing sentiment of the ad- ministration is to put the blame for the most part upon Colonel Roosevelt, and while the matter will probably pass over without. action on the part of the administration the whole publication is dep}Ored. It is realized. that such pub ucation could bring nothing but harm to the interests of the army, which is thus published to it's enemies as being physically unfit for the field.
 The incident formed the basis of the Cabinet meeting to-day, during which DCtI4 GULL I-IIltti llSiI dtlu liIld14u were discussed. The administration feels that the communication should have come through the organized channels to the department and does not con- demn the protest, but the giving of it to. the press. Additional criticism was made upon the inconsistency of Roose- velt's two statements, one asking that his men be sent to Porto Rico and say ing that they were it, and the other prociaiming to the world that they should be brought home as quickly as possible. It was to show this incon- sistency as claimed by the friends of Secretary Alger that the letter of made public.
 On the other hand, apart from this reason for making public @ matter of this nature. General AIger has been criticized for doing so on account of it's manifestly personal nature.

MANZANILLO READY TO
 HOIST THE WHITE FLAG
Believed the Appearance of a Thou sand Americans Would Re
 suit in. CapituIation.


 SANTIAGO DE CUBA. Aug. (de- layed in transmission).- warships Massachusetts and Dixie arrived at Guantanamo Bay last night and imme- dfately started .coaling.
 Commander Todd of the Wilmington reported that conditions at Manzan- lilo, as learned from General Rios, are as follows:
 There are about 20OO regulars, 1000 volunteers and 800 bombarderos, or f1remen, there. They appear to be well supplied with cattle and provisions, but are believed to be short of ammunition. Recent events in that vicinity have dis heartened them, and it is believed that the appearance of ah American force, even if only 1000 men, would result in the equalization of the place.
 Confirmation has been obtained of the report that the Florida expedition for the relief of General Gomez has been successful. On July 25 General Gomez was encamped twenty-five miles north west Of JucarO, the southern extremity of the Morro-Jucaro trocha. The Span iards retreated beyond a large block house to the westward of the port of Tunas, in the Province of Santa Clara, on July 24
 A squadron bulletin says the Spanish forces generally from Manzanillo to Trinidad are evidently in a very de- moralized condition. Santa Cruz, the port on the south coast of the Province of Puerto Principe. is reported to be de- serted. There is no shipping there.

SAMPSON TO COMMAND
 THE EASTERN SQUADRON
Commodore Watson to Be Second in
 Command and Schley to Re- .aF main st Home.

NEW YORK, Aug 5.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: Rear Admiral Sampson will command the eastern squadron if it be sent abroad by the President. I learned to-day on high authority that he has received orders to take command of the squadron, and Commodore Watson has been designated as second in com mand. The transfer of Commodore Schley from the Brooklyn to the Newark means that he is to be kept at home. The selection of Rear Ad- miral Sampson was based, it is said, upon the desire of the President and Secretary Long to put in command an officer of tried judgment and discre- tion. While having every confidence in Commodore Watson, it was deemed proper to place him as second in com mand.
