Severely Punished.

In 1864, at City Point, Va, while the
q neral of the army was strolling along
th e wharf one day, he saw big, raw
be ned teamster belaboring one of his
w leeI mules with billet Of wood, and
Gu using him rOUndly. Grant said q net
ly "My man, stop beating that mule"
Ra why, looking around at the little,
un ostenta atious appearing person in
pls in blouse, replied SAY, be you
dri wing these here mules, or be I?'i and

sic .'tied up' for "a hours when he re-

Uncle Sans Ready-Made Clothes.

People who have wondered how and
where the soldiers get their uniforms
and shoes, and have made inquiry on
the subject, discovered that Unele Sam
does considerable business in the ready
made clothing line. His customers
have no choice as to the cut OF style OF
the garments nor as to the quality or
color of the material. These are mat
ters which the great tailor settles ia
keeping with orders from the war de-
partment-
"But how about the fitting Of the
garments?" the nan 10 search of in
formation asks. "When a man wants
a sui: of clothes he goes to the tailor
and has his measure taken, and the
garments are made for him. Now, the
soldier can't do that. How do they

simply bay ready made"
The government has large clothing
stores in Brooklyn and in Philadelphia.
The former supplies the navy, and un-
less the demands are too heavy the
army supply CONES from the other
shop. These two manufacturing points
are to the various quartermasters what
the big clothing factories are TO there
tail shops. The garments are made in
the various sizes that are most in de-
mand, and are forwarded TO army posts
or other army stations on regular re-
quisitions. There the uniforms are
given out on requisitions from corr
manding officers, and record is kept
of the final disposition Of each gar
ment.
The statistics as to measurments give
the cutter good idea Of what is re-
quired, and the stocks are usually 50
arranged that no customer need go to
the opposition house. The men who
have the matter in charge are anxious
to ''fit' their subjects, but it is proba-
ble that no long talks as TO the quail
ity OF the stock and the neatness Of
the fit are delivered in the place where
the uniforms are issued

ed with ammunition From Sunday
noon until yesterday morning the men
in our fleet were treated to most re-
markable exhibition of fireworks. The
Spanish survivors were practically
naked when rescued, but within an
hour clothing and shoes had been pro-
vided for all. They had been made
quite comfortable by Sunday evening.
They will be sent north tomorrow on
the Harvard and the St. Louis. Ad-
miral Cervera, am informed, obtain
ed his first news of Dewey's victory
after be had been taken a prisoner.
Capt. Usher, of the Ericsson, made a
hard run to get shot at the Vizcaya,
but white flag was floating over Capt.
Fulate's vessel when the torpedo boat
came up.
"The American shells had torn holes
through the Vizcaya's l2-inch plates"
said Capt. Usher afterwards, 'and
through them l could see naked men,
bloody and gashed, roasting in the
shell. Her guns had been shotted and
were going oil by themselves from the
heat, but by care we were able to get
alongside. Her decks and sides were
red hot. Two men were climbing
down a davit tackle and as the ship
rolled they would swing against her
scorching sides, then swing back and
out again. | took 1l0 men off the

the American fire. ave could not

Admiral Cervera's preparations for
dashing out of Santiago harbor had
been underway four days. Not only
did he have large supply Of ammuni-
ton on board, but he had taken on pro-
vision enough for a long voyage. One
of Cervera's officers, / am told, de-
elares that the attempt to escape was
done for its political effect in Spain,
rather than with any hope that it would
be successful. Admiral Sampson has
been giving much thought to the posi-
bility ofsaying one or more of Cervera's
ships. The admiral to-day inspected
the wrecks and found the armor plates
Of the vessels perforated with holes.
The Nizcaya is little more than sieve.

Cervera Took Chances.

New YORK, July 6.-The Herald
this morning prints the following from
its correspondent with SIMPSONS
squadron:
Lieut.. Juan Aruar. third officer of
the cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa, die
tated the following statement: "We
staked all on the chance of catching
the American fleet mapping and we
have lost. Our feet has been wiped
out and Spsin's naval power is sudden
ly shattered. This is the situation
which Spain must face. The war can
not be continued with any hope ofsuc-
cess. We have done our best, but we
have been overcome bya superior force.
Admiral Cervera decided last Wednes-
day 10 leave Santiago, in obedience to
instructions received from Madrid,
which ordered him 10 proceed TO Ha-
vana in order to assist in the defense
Of that city. The fleet accordingly
coaled and provisioned and the men
ashore were recalled. We all felt it
was tempting fate to engage the Amer
lean fleet, but the admirars orders
were obeyed implicitly. We left the
ma 75or shortly after 9 o'cl ok Sunday
morning with full head of steam, the
Colon leading, followed by the Vizeaya
the Maria Teresa, the Almirante
Oquendo and the torpedo boats Pluton
aud Furor, and a small gunboat, the
last three standing we'll inshore. 1
must confess the odds were greater
than we had reckOned. Our men
fought bravely, but could not stand up
under the American fire. Ten minutes
after the engagement commenced the
Maria Teresa's guns were so hot that
they could not be handled. The situa-
ton rapidly grew worse and when it
became evident that the fleet was DOOM

Madrid Forced Him to Dash Out to
Destruction.

Kingston. Jamaica, July 2-I have
just had an interview with Admiral
Cervera, who received me very court
eously. He said; II do not wish to
make statement At present, although
am deeply sensible Of the generous
treatment accorded TO myself and to my
men by the American sailors, from the
rear admiral down To the officers OF his
fleet. l received orders twice from
Madrid to leave Santiago harbor and
90 to Havana, and fully realized the
difficulties that beset my path, but the
honor Of the Spanish navy demanded
that the movement be made, and gave
the order for my feet to dash forth to
almost certain destruction.
Lieut.. Juan Aruar, third officer Of
the cruiser In fanta Maria Teresa, dieta-
ted the fol owing statement; ave
staked all on the chance Of catching
the American fleet mapping and we
have lost. Our fleet has been wiped
out and Spain's naval power is sud-
denly shattered. This is the situation
which Spain must face. The war can

ave all fel. it was tempting fate to

admirars orders were obeyed implicit
and after many plans had been discuss
ed and abandoned. We left the harbor
shortly after 8 o'clock Sunday morning
with full head of steam, the Colon
leading, followed by the Nizeaya, the
Maria Teresa, the Almirante Oquendo
and the torpedo boats Pluton and FurOr,
and a small gunbOat, .he last three

the odds were greater than we had
reekoned. Our men fought bravely
but could not stand up under the
American Gre. Ten minutes after the
engagement commenced the Maria
Teresa's guns were so hot that they
could not be handled. The situation
rapidly grew worse and when it became
evident that the fleet was doomed, we
struck our eolors. Speaking for my
self aud my comrades, now on board
the Harvard, desire to express our ap-
probation for all the courtesies extend
ed by Capt. Cotton and his men, who
have shown themselves to be gentle
men as well as fighters. We have lost
all save honor, and have nothing but
admiration for our generous foe"
The officer added that Cervera's chief
of staff, SenOr Bustamente, inventor Of
the torpedo bearing that name, was
badly wounded in the fight at San Juan.
Senior Bustamente's tOrpedOes are now
used in all Cuban harbOrs. Lieut..
Aruar estimates the Spanish loss around
Santiago Friday and Saturday at 1000
killed and wounded. Admiral Samp-
son has permitted Admiral Cervera to
communicate with the Madrid govern
ment. 1t is reported that Cervera adj
vised that the war be terminated, stat
ing that the American strength has
been uuderestimated from the first,
and that Spanish honor is now satis-
/ fed.

The Virginius alfair, which came near cansing war between this country and Spain in 1873, was one of those incl. dents which are likely at any moment to occur in troubluus times. In 1875, the Virgiuius, a ship flying the Ameri. can flag, was captured by Spanish man. of-war near Jamuiea under the suspicion thnt the ship was q filihuster, and was conveying men aud warike material to Cuha to aid the insurgents during the ten years war then going on. The ship was taken to Cnban port, and Capt. Joseph Fry, an ex Con. federate soldier, and thirty,six of his crew were shot in Santiago de Cuba, by the Spanish authorities. The affair made an immense sensation at the time, and the demand was immediately for warded by our government to Spain for the release of the vessel and of the sur Vivors of the crew and indemnity for the lives of those who had been put to death. A long controversy ensued, re- sulting finally in the giving mp of the ship and the men by the Spanish antho- rites, who disclaimod any intention of insulting our flag. The vessel sank on the voyage between Cuba and New York. It is supposed to have been scuttled or rendered uaseaworthy by the Spaniards, and the incident closed with ample apologies aud reparation by Spain.

Several of our Arizona exchanges express fear of the invasion of our southern frontier by our neighbors in Sonora, whose consanguity of blood, they think, might incline them to sym pathize with Spain in the present. con flict with the United States. Nothing has transpired thus far to justify such au opinion. The relations of the two republics are of such friendly char acter, their commercial interest heinz reciprocal and of such magnitude that the Mexican government could ill., afford any hostile demonstration against tue United States by its subjects iu Sonora aud Chihuahua. Neither would VIC impute to the Mexican peo- pie such base ingratitude as to believe that they have forgotten the debt which they owe to the United States for our timely aud determinative influence in their struggle with France for independence. The Republic of Mexico would certainly be in grave danger if 1t were true that any con. siderable number of her subjects could be induced to take up arms against the United States in order to perpetuate the rule in the western hemisphere of the most eifete and barbarous mon. arcy in the worli, and from whose cruelty Mexico so losg suffered. Of coarse Mexico has among her popula- tion many who are deDsely ignorant and depraved, and to whom tue chauce to plunder our southern territory might prove strong incentive The danger, however, does not seem tu be imminent, nor would such an invasion be formidable. If any force is needed to protect our southern border the militia should be ordered out for patrol duty, and We have no doubt of Mexico's willingness to co.operate to preserve order if called upon.

What Parents Are Respo, si5Nc Tor ii Se- lecting Names for Their OTspring.


 The names of Molly and Polly, Annie and Nan, Maggie and Peggic, Nancy and Nan gre just as much in vogue to- day as in the olden time, and in all probability will continue to be given as Christian names to baby girls for all timc.
 We do not find French women taking their ancestors to task for bcstowing upon them ungainly names. for the taste of the French i'll names is pro- verbal There is no Peggie in the French tongue. When they tired of Mary they changed it to the sweet uSme Marie. Ann became Annette, sprigh-ly and bright.
 Sou,c parents refused to give first names 10 their children, preferring that the children themselves snould .hoosc their own names. It is often positive handicap to man of parts to nave an iueuphorious nsrre. In many eases ignorant parents have gone wrong in their selection of names for their offspring, ard move than once a girl baby has been called JczCbel aud boy Eaby Ananias. Rev. James E. Walely, Methodist minister, who preached many years in New York, told, with great enjoyment, of a lisp ing mother who took her baby 10 the font in the church to he baptized and christcrcd When the divine took it in his arms. preparatory to christening it, he asked the lsping mother what he should name it. The raront re- piled: "Luerthir." Indignantly the minister remarked:
 "Lucifcr! Lucifer! Never will I name child that" Then he con tinued, as he sprinl;led the water upon the brow of the girl baby, George Washington, I baptize thee," etc. and the girl was thereafter so called.
 It is a fact that fashion in names changes in cycles of less than q cen tury. A; present there seems to be a tendency towards odd names. Some of the popular ones are Dorothy, Ehoda, Edna and Angelinc. Ada is unite common, and Ahnira comes down, it would appear, from the coun- try towns to adorn city beauties. Agatha, Viola, Maude, Jessie. Olga. Odette, Olive, Incz, Isabel, Eorterse, Eosalind, Beatrice. Naomi, Migron, Mildren. Lillian, Leonora, Kathleen, Ida, Estcllc, Gertrude, Gladys, Grace. Genevieye, Gabriella, Henrietta, Edith, Felicc, Fedora, Frederick, Eunice, Florence, Eloisa, Ermeline, Eleanor, Elsie, Fife, Doris, Eveleen, Cora, Gym thia, Cloc. Cordel:a, Beulah, Bertha, Blanche, Ruth, Veronica are among the hundreds of uncommonly odd names, chosen not only for their odd ness, but for their euphoniousEcss as well, while their meaning adds interest to them and makes the burden of their weight an easy load to carry.
 A mother sometimes delights iu per petuating the name of her grand. mother, who bore the name Of her great-grandmother, and thus these very old names descend by the choice of the parent. Arm nowadays sounds harsh, and Betsy seems common. let sy comes to be Bessie and Ann Annie, and an instance is known of Miudwell having the audac!ty to call herself Min nie. Jerusha has printed on her visit ing cards Jennie and 1lehitable loves to hear herself styled Uitty.-N. I. World.
