only tragedy that accompanied the recent

The Socialist Party il Germany

The estimate of the SociaI. ress in
Germany that at the coming genet- elec-
lions their party will muster at least 2,000,-
900 votes and will succeed in seating from
sixty to seventy members in the reichstag
is causing ill-concealed concern among
the Conservative journals. In 1871 the So
cialist party was represented by only two
members in the reichstag, Herren Bebel
and Liebknecht, and by vote of 124 ,O00 In
1874 the Socialist vote was increased to
1862, 900, with return of nine deputies; in
1877 $4,000 votes elected II members, but
the next year, in which an attempt was
made to assassinate Kaiser William l., the
votes sank to 457 900, with representatives
in the reichstag. In 1884 the Socialists.
however, sent "a deputies. representing q
vote of 900. In 1890 it was predicted by
the Socialist press that their party would
soon become the most powerful factor Of
the reichstag; the vote Of that year was
1,437 900, which marched 81 representatives
into the reichstag. At the last general
election the Socialists showed 1,7S0,0O0
votes out of a total poll of 1874 900, and
their party returned Al deputies out Of 397.
The Center, with its 100 deputies, only
polled 146S,O00 votes, and the Conserva-

To Strengthen the Austrian Navy
The Hungarian cabinet has just
accepted a memorandum from Vice Adj
miral Baron Spaun, chief of the admiralty.
suggesting an increase of the naval force
of the empire. Fifty-five million forms
will be laid out during the next six years
in naval construction and in an increase
in the naval personnel. At present Austria
has only five turret ships that Baron Spaun
considered efficient; the six ironclads with
central batteries, built between 1872 and
1878, are obsolete. There are Is torpedo
boats now available, and the memorandum
suggests that Is more and 90 small river
torpedo boats be built; it also asks for 10
battleships of between 5000 and $500 tons: Z
second-class cruisers of 1000 to 1000 tons,
and third-class cruisers of 1500 to 240o
tons, and armored monitors for the Dam
ube flotilla. Great stress is laid upon the
battleships and armored cruisers-the for
mer to guard the Adriatic and to defend
the coast from distance; the latter, a. ID
expressly stated in the memorandum, to
be available for service abroad in time Of
peace, "since 1t is desirable that Austria
Hungary should be able to show her Dag
in distant waters"

there During a recent mutiny, the
most extensive and desperate of the

passed all bounds Of discipline, leaving
their quarters, throwing away their

instance assaulting or attempting to
assault group of Cuban women who
were walking the street. The arrival

put them to flight saved the women.
BIanco,s refusal to permit them to go
to Santiago during the fighting there
together with an infusion of Carlist
sympathy promoted by the judicious
distribution of quantity Of Carlist cir
culars, is said to have been the cause
The latter reason is the one given out
by the officials, and La Verdad. an in
dependent newspaper, has been sup
pressed and its editorial personnel al
rested and imprisoned charged with
distributing the circulars. A great
many OF the volunteers have been ar
rested, and Gen. Blanco has announc.

tai and severely punished as an ex-
ample to their fellows
The volunteers have been a disturb
ing element in Havana for several
months, and there have been freouent
outbreaks, but none so extensive as the
last one. The men left their barra cks
and marched in disorderly squads
through the city, crying against BIarco
and the Spanish government, charging
treachery and cowardice, and commit
ting Whatever acts of violence they
could. Residents of the city, especial
~ the Cubans, closed and barricaded
terror until q large detachment of the

Vana, was ordered out to subdue and

sent to the front with a provisional
corps 1t will be the last movement Of
troops into Porto Rico"
An officer who has just returned
from Washington said this morning
that no more Northern troops would be
sent from the various state encamp-
ments to Chickamauga. 1.-The reason
for this" said the officer, was on ac-
count of the great likelihood of peace,
and If the peace negotiations should
fall through these second-call men
would take part in the general attack
upon Havana in October. 1t was the
purpose of the secretary of war" said
he, ito keep these second-caH men in
Northern camps during the summer,
and if the war continues to bring them
to some Southern camps just long
enough to brigade the regiments and
do a little division drilling. About two
weeks" he thought, would be enough
time In southern camp after sum-
mers experience in Northern camps,
before marching on to Havana"

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-When the vic
torious troops come marching home
from the Cuban campaign to rest at
Montauk Point, L. l., they will get a
reception in New York commensurate
with the glory Of their achievements.
Plans are on foot to make the arrival

panfment of bands fireworks, enthu-
s1asm, and everything else tending to
drown the remembrance Of their hard
ships, and swell their hearts with pride.
Veterans Of the Civil war are engaged
In the task Of preparing an adequate
reception to the soldiers. They will
bend their energies in the direction of
getting the whole Cuban army of in
vasion to this city at the same time, SO
that the pent-up joy of the people over
the heroic conduct Of their boys in the
field may have chance to vent itself
on all without reserve. If the war de-
partment decides to send the men home
In detachments their reception may be
spoiled somewhat from q spectacular
point of view, but the old soldiers who
will have the matter in charge hope
to prevail on the president to send the
entire crowd of heroes through the city
in one compact army.
A call has been issued asking the off,
GERS Of the old army, regulars and
volunteers, to meet at the Waldorf-As-
toria on Monday, Aug. 8, to perfect
plans for the proper reception Of the
troops.

Musician Halla, Springfield, is also improv

H. ]. Thomson, principal musician, has APP
piled for discharge, account OF his ra1l-
ing health.
When it comes to eating It takes Musician nds5,an
Gonniea to do that act The boys accuse
him Of starting in at A street and eating
enough for a square meal at all the COM
pany kitchens till he ends up at street.
After this he goes down to the band quar-
tiers and eats everything in sight there, and
if it wasn't for the doctors, he would go to
the hospital and eat up the Red Cross sup
tie of champagne he Iubs the bottle on the
outside. He says he lost six pounds while
sick and has gained 205 pounds since How
matter and Wen straighten it up for you.
Musician Lowry, who has been i'll for
four weeks. is again on duty.
Musician Woodward Is one Of the finest
snare drummers in the park and half Of the
band is gone when he is not present.
Prof. sofreneck is to be proud of his band.
The way the boys turned out when the re-
port of the surrender Of Santiago came IN
was a caution to any one Inside of five
minutes the whole band was present, and
when Musician Thomson blew the first call
the men were scattered out all through the
regiment.
The boys have been playing Hot Time
in the Old Town. but have changed and
are playing church music for change, to
cool things off little.
The band after marching to Snodgrass hill
Friday came back in good spirits, and life
enough to lick the regiment, SO they say.
There is a little talk about a joke that
was played some of the band 1t seems
that Musician Pierce called Musician Rheau-
ton out of his tent, and while he kept him
busy, Musician Shaw took string, tied 1t to
white glove and hung it over rope. They
also put rope under his bed. When he re,
turned and lay down the boys commenced
to raise and lower the glove, so it would
just touch Rheauton on the face, at the
same time telling him it might be tar
antula, while another pulled on the rope
under his blanket telling him it was
snake The last seen of the musician he
was sitting on the ridge pole, calling on the
professor for help. Musician Pierce lied to
this and Musician Shaw swore to it, so our
responsibility as to it's truth ceases here.
Musician Woodwork, the Twelfth's crack
snare drummer, is rapidly recovering from
his illness and will soon be at his post of
duty The boys claim half of the band Is
gone when Woodwork is not present.
