by an old trick; one that 1 read about in

to balk and 1 coaxed and persuaded until

mule moved just far enough to get away
from the heat and left the vehicle to which
he was attached standing over the blaze
where it caught fire.
NO" was the calm answer. This mule
didn't act that way. He was hitched to
canal boat"

A Disnppointed InterruDtOr,

The very smart young man stopped to
listen to the gTfzzled old fellow who was
talking as he leaned against the lunch
counter.
There amt much use beating a mule"
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 intel
lectual 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 uneasy
at seeing the conversation progress so far
without his being in it.
The narrator paid no attention to him,
but proceeded:
II used to have mule that would fol-
low me like kitten. He was as obstinate

The BulhUl of POhfck.

Spring" writes the Bulbul of Pohick
''is the time of year when people always
plant fruit and write portry 1 have
not wrote any portry for a long time and
feared that I had almost gotten out of
the habit. But when the trees begin to
put out buds and folks who have decided
to move begin to put out furniture L am
overcome by the impulse to take my pen
in hand. My latest pome will be entitled
by the name of that which it is about
which is
SPRING."
Oh, spring, gentle spring,
II there is anything
About which 1 love to sing,
1t is spring.
The reason being, l suppose. that it always
makes folks kind of sentimental.
In spring come violets, modest and blue
And the song birds MARBLE and the taxes
are due.
1t is the sweetest time of all the year,
Full OF. JOY and of good cheer;
Free from all sorrow and all ills,
Unless you happen to catch the chills.
oh, think of the old farm; that is the place
Where all is lovely and fun of grace!
You can pick the flowers that bloom and
smile,
And potato bugs, II you wait awhile.
1t is in the midst Of sylvan charms
That you forget all about cruel wars
alarms.
Ou, LINK OIL lie IN TuTal spot
Where the lambkins skip and the tramps
do not.
Surrounded by horses and cows ard pigs
SO dear.
And by summer boarders later in the year.
Perhaps you will wonder why sing
OF spring, gentle spring,
When things Of greater Importance might
engage
My muse and cause her to strike her Tyre
In righteous rage.
But consider it very probable that this
country will become so great
In art some time as to need a poet laureate.
And though my heart Is filed with pain
To think of writing for vulgar gain.
would sacrifice myself and serve the ma
ton
At a reasonable compensation.
Provided could pass the civil service ex-
animation.
And so you will excuse me, readers dear,
II refrain from touching on anything
connected with politics here.
But stick to spring, which returns once
more
To awaken sweet sad memories of yore.
Its beauty brings thoughts Of q manly face
One which memory Oft does trace
In my heart his image was carefully stored
But he left ms, owing for six weeks board.

GLOOM AT SANTIAGO.
Cervera Brought No Food, But Landed
Men and Rifles.

Men and Rifles.
Copyright Associated Press)
Port Au Prince, Hayti, May 29.-Two
Italians, who set cut from Santiago de
Cuba in small boat on Thursday, May
18th. and landed near Mole st. Nicholas
ON the 22d, arrived here to-day, bring
ing information as to the situation at
Santiago.
The state of affairs there is critical,
particularly so because Of the lack of
food. A great many CT the unfortunate
people, especially the r'econcentrados,
are dying of starvation. The whole
population is terribly discouraged and
keenly DESTROYS of peace.
The arrival of the squadron under
Cervera without food supplies for the
city, deepened the general despond-
ency.
The squadron has disembarked 500
men, artillerymen, and engineers and
landed 10000 mauser rifles, a large
quantity of ammunition and four big
guns, destined for the Notifications.
In spite of the strict silence main
tanned by the officers and crews, the
general impression was, when the Ital-
ians left, that the squa tron would set
out for Juan, Porto Rico, to obtain
supplies and land ammunition there.

A QUIET DAY.
Government Officials Busy But Said

Tie Disposition Of Troops Under
the Second Call.

Washington, d. c., May 29.-Sunday
passed uneventfully in official circles
and was characterized by an entire
lack of any information from army or
navy sources. Not a single bulletin on
any subject was displayed by the NAVY
Department. A number Of dispatches
were received at the department during
toe day and replies sent. keeping the
cipher clerks busy Secretary Long
was at the department during the
morning. TIE President also had a
comparatively quiet day. In CONFORM
tty with his custom he attended church
in the morning. accompanied by a rel
tive from Canton, now in the city.
Secretary Alger and Assistant General
Corhin were with him a short time
during the morning, discussing some
matters Of military importance. and
Secretary Long also called but did not
see the Chief Executive. In tie after

noon the President took a drive in the
suburbs.
Secretary Alger, General Miles and
some of the assistants were at the War
Department during the day, and the
three assistant secretaries of State
spent some time in their offices.
Captain Goodrich, OF the auxiliary
cruiser st. Louis, which returned to
New York yesterday from ger cruise
in the West Indies, was at the Navy
Department in the morning for con-
sultation with the officials in regard
to the future movements of the ship
and the increase of her armament.
About twenty Governors of States
and Territories have replied to Secre-
tary Ayers kilograms asking for their
views regarding the filling of the pres
ent volunteer regiments to their maxi
mum strength before beginning the
formation Of new organizations. Some
Of these indicate a preference for the
recruiting OF entirely new regiments,
as under the first call, leaving the pres
ent organizations with the number of
men now contained in them, though
practically all promise the government
any amount of troops that are wanted
1t is the Presidents desire however,
that the organizations already formed,
shall be filled to their maximum
strength, as the law provides, and this
policy will be carried out in recruiting
under the second call. The apportion-
ment to the States has been made up
but has not yet been given to the pub
lie. Through urgent representations
to Secretary Alger some Of the States
were permitted under the first call to
furnish crater number OF troops than
they were legally entitled to Oh the
basis of population. Consequently in
raising the $4,000 men under the Sec
ond call these inequalities will be rem
edied as far as practicable, with the
result that some of the States may not
be called on 10 furnish any of the
men needed. This course probably
may give rise TO discontentment in
States where men are anxious to serve,
but it is regarded as the only fair way
in which to proceed.
