Complete List Of Wednesdays
Fatalities-Origin Of the
Indian Troubles.

Washington, Oct. s.-Rcports re-
ceived by the officials Of the war and
interior departments from the In
dian outbreak are of a reassuring char
acter and they now feel that the up
rising may be regarded as over. Gen.
Bacon, who has charge of affairs in
the department of which he is in COM
mand, will remain at Walker for the
present and this, it is hoped, will have
quieting effect on the citizens of the
surrounding country who have felt
that they were in danger from the
redskins. Steps will be taken to have
an investigation made with view to
fixing the responsibility among the In
dams for their stand against the gov.
eminent. The following is Gen. Ba-
cons latest dispatch:

MADE DEAF BY A SHELL.
1T Exploded Over This Private at San.
tiagO, But Did Not
Hit Him.

Private Barber, of Holyoke, Mass,
member of company B, Twenty-frst
United States infantry, has been deaf
ened for his lifetime by the bursting of
a shell over his head in the first days
battle before Santiago. He is a young
recruit of three months, and was in
Ludlow's division in the advance on Ell
Caney. All day long he was at those
points where the battle ragged the
worst, and late in the afternoon he fell
under the fierce fire of shell and shrap-
mel from the Spanish lines. But,
strangely enough. when he was
brought into the field hospital in the
evening not a mark or scratch of any
kind was found upon him. Stranger
still, he was unable to understand q
single sentence addressed to him by the
surgeons. At last it occurred to them
to ask their questions in writing.
These he answered readily enough.
His speech had not been affected in
the least, but he had been so dazed that
all his talk was rambling and discon-
nected. The clearest deduction that
the surgeons could get from his story
was that ga bomb of some kind" as he
expressed it, had burst over his head
and he knew no more till he found
himself in the field hospital. The morn
ing following the fight he disappeared,
and when the litter bearers and wagons
lined up to take the wounded to the
brigade hispital, six miles to the rear,
he was among the missing.
Two or three days after he turned up
at Siboney, down by the sea. nearly 20
miles back from the battle line as the
bride paths run. He had been given
up for dead, it being the general belief
that he had wandered off in the jungle
and met his death at the hands of the
Spanish sharpshooters. He made no
explanation of his absence, and walked
about for days like one bereft of rea-
son.
On the 18th he arrived at Fort Mon
roe, on the Cherokee. A careful test
and examination by the surgeons
brought them to the conclusion that
he is ''stone deaf" beyond any possibil-
ity Of recovery. And so Barber, poor
fellow, strolls about the hospital wards
unable to listen to the conversation of
his comrades or to appreciate the music
he loved so well of the regimental band,
and, to those who know of his affection,
it is a strange sight to see his hat come
off with the thousands of others at the
music of the national air, as retreat
sounds in the twilight Of these autumn
nights.-Boston Advertiser.

A great calamity it would be if the
postal service should cease in the ma
tional capital, or if the people of any
otner large city should be deprived of
the mail facilities to which they have
been accustomed.
Suppose that 100000 people in Illi-
nols, Iowa or any other state should
be unceremoniously deprived of their
post offices, their railway postal
trains, their letter carriers, their
money order system, their star routes,
their opportunity to buy and use post
age stamps. Or, for example, suppose
that the cities of Milwaukee, Spring
Held, Des Moines, Omaha or Kansas
City, or any other cities of similar size,
should be cut off from postal inter-
course with the surrounding country
alone, there would be so much trouble
and discomfort that the writer need
lot describe it.
Well, there is an American territory
containing 100000 American citizens
where the sudden stoppage of postal
facilities has been. imminent. Only
