To-day he is an alert, active man and
tells the story of his recovery as follows:
Il was a great sufferer from scia tic
rheumatism almost from the time Of my
discharge from the army. Most Of the
time l was untitled for manual labor Of
any kind, and my sufferings were at all
times intense. At times | was bent al

greatest difficulty. Nothing seemed to
give me permanent relief until three years
ago, when my attention was called to
some of the wonderful cures effected by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.

condition, and / kept on improving stead

what she taught them, and what she
taught was the foundation OF all
knowledge. She used to say: If
[ can secure the undivided attention
of child for five minutes each day,
l can train his mind to acquire any
kind of knowledge" She had no
kindergarten ideas in her system.
Mental discipline was her aim, and
she hit the mark A child who had a
mind was taught in her little class
to think and to study, not to play and
call it learning. Madame Audubon
was a wonderful woman, and when
after her death far away in Kentucky
her body was brought to be laid with
her kindred in the tomb at Trinity
memory of her which A. D. F. Ran
mon published, under the title "A
Noble Life" Her son, Victor, died
August II, 1860, and John hardly
two years later. Both inherited the
fondness of their father for natural
history, were keen sportsmen, and
had a fine taste for art. John under
took the republication of his father S
works, the famous gallery of life-size
birds being reproduced in litho-
graphic engrayings. The civil war
broke up the sale of this elaborate
work, embarrassed the author, and
added to other troubles, brought him
to a premature death. But the fami-
lies, though deprived of their heads,
4 i-1
as teachers and authors, maintaining
the record Of their ancestor and proud
of his growing fame. One of the
descendants, Miss Maria Audubon,
daughter of John W., has just given
to the world fresh memoir of her
grandfathers, in two large volumes.
This book is the result of careful
searches among old manuscripts, in
the hiding places which cabinet
makers constructed in the furniture
of the past century, in family col
lections and among forgotten treas
ures. Miss Audubon's patience and
perseverance have been richly re-
Warded. She has brought to light
journals, and sketches and writings
from the prolific pen and deft pencil
of her ancestor, and arranged them in
these volumes for the instruction, en-
tertainment and inspiration OF a
new generation Of readers.
This book recalls some personal in
cidents which are not without inter
est. When the civil war ended, a
family in the south whose fortunes
had been reduced, applied to me to
sell for them an original subscription
copy of Audubon's birds. 1t needed
one volume of the explanatory text,
and this Madame Audubon kindly
supplied, so that l was able to place
this valuable work in the Brooklyn
historical society, and to forward a
handsome price to the impoverished
southerners. Some years afterward
I made unavailing efforts to sell the
original copper plates of the great
work to a publisher, but could find
no purchaser in this country, and was
reluctantly compelled to dispose of
them for Madame Audubon to a we'll
known house in the metal business to
be melted into copper bars; and SO
the drawings of the great naturalist
now exists only in the comparatively
few copies of his work which are
scattered over the civilized world in

SURRENDER TO SHAFTER
Towns of BaraCoa and Sagua de
Tanamo Have Fallen.
WERE FAR BEHIND THE TIMES
Had Not Heard of the Annihilation OF
Cervera's Fleet or the Surrender
of Santiago.

WASHINGTON, Aug. lS.-The war de.
partment has received the following
from General Shafter:
"Major Miley has just returned from
Baracoa and Sagua de Tanamo. At
the two places there were /, 756 officers
and men. Surrendered 1891 stands of
arms, 413,O00 rounds of ammunition
and five Krupp guns. Troops were
very short of food, but 10 days rations
were given them by Major Miley and a
large amount Of Red Cross supplies
landed at the same time at both places.
These troops knew nothing whatever
of the destruction Of Cervera's fleet,
the fall of Santiago or any later events.
They accepted the situation, however,
and appeared to be glad of the oppor.
tunity of going home. Major Miley
states that on the door of the com.
manding officers house was posted a
bulletin purporting to be telegram
from the naval commander at Manila
informing Sagasta of his great victory
over Dewey at Mani,I and Sagasta' g
thanks to him for the-same.

Not Disposed to Accept the

WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-THE war de.
partment posted the following answer
to an inquiry from General Lawton,
commanding the department Of San.
tiago, as to the policy to be observed
toward the Cubans that are within his
military department.:
"Replying to your message for in.
structions, the president directs that
you be informed that the United States
is responsible for peace and must main.
tain order in the territory surrendered
and in your department, and must pro.
tect all persons and their property
within said jurisdiction. Interference
from any quarter will not be permit.
ted. The Cuban insurgents should be
treated justly and literally, but they
and all others must recognize the mill.
tary occupation and authority of the
United States and the cessation of hos.
tilities proclaimed by this govern.
ment."
The war department did not make
public the dispatch from General Law.
ton as to the conditions in Santiago,
but the order which Adjutant General
Corbin sent to General Lawton indi.
Gates something Of its character. Gen.
eral Lawton reports that the Cubans
are encamped about the city and do not
seem disposed to accept the conditions
of the armistice, and some trouble is
anticipated. Secretary Alger, in speak.
ing of the subject, said it might as we'll
be understood that the United States
would control the surrendered terri.
tory and that it would manage the af.
fairs Of that territory. Those who re.
mained within the jurisdiction would
have to obey the laws and rules of the
authorities, as General Lawton was in.
formed.

IL the Only One OF Cervera's Fleet Likely
to BE Floated.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. lS.-The
Associated Press correspondent visited
the wrecks of the warships Of Admiral
Cervera's feet. Captain Sharp Of the
Merritt Wrecking company, is work.
ing vigorously to float the Maria Teresa
and expects to get her afloat and bring
her into the harbor soon. Captain
Sharp suggests bringing the Maria
Teresa first to Santiago for temporary
repairs and then taking her to Havana
where it will be possible to patch her
up sufficiently for her longer voyage
north. He thinks the vessel can be so
repaired as to make her available, a
first rate cruiser. Captain Sharp, how.
ever, has no sanguine hopes of saving
the Cristobal Colon. The Almirante
Oquendo and the Vizcaya are both
total wrecks and are not worth saving
for Junk.

CHICKAMAUGA, Aug. 18.-The re-.
view at Camp Thomas was one of the
most striking pageants of years and
one which will long be remembered by
all who had the opportunity to witness
it. Over 40, 600 men in their gorgeous
array, marching in perfect order, with
bands playing and colors flying, made
the occasion a thoroughly inspiring
one. A crowd Of nearly 30, 600 were in
camp as witnesses. The men were up
at an early hour. Immediately after
breakfast, inspections were held and
the regiments took their plrces in line
of formation. At $3.50 signal gun
was fired and the long column moved
past the tower on Snodgrass hill,
where General Breckenridge and his
guests were seated in the reviewing
stand. The cavalry came first, the ar.
tillery next and the infantry last. AL.

viewing stand but once the review oc-

field day will be observed next Satur.

EVIDENTLY TROUBLESOME
Request for a Policy Made
Jointly by the American
Commanders.
Officials Informed That About
Seven Thousand Prison.
erS Are Held.

American commanders at Manila, Ad.
miral Dewey and Major General Mer-
ritt, united in joint dispatch which
was received here late in the afternoon
asking for instructions as to the man.
ner Of dealing with the various ele.
ments. particularly the insurgents,
now that the city was occupied by the
American forces. After conference
at the White House, in which Secre.
tary Alger and Acting Secretary Allen
participated, instructions were sent to
the two American commanders. The
text of the request for instructions and
the answer were not made public, but
Secretary Alger summed up the in.
structions substantially as follows:
"The instructions are to enforce law
and order and to treat all law abiding
citizens equally"
Must Recognize Our Authority.
The instructions are practically the
same as those sent to General Lawton
at Santiago. The latter order stated
specifically that the insurgents must
recognize the military occupation and
authority of the United States and the
cessation of hostilities proclaimed by
the United States. Doubtlessly the
same order is being appli ed to the in.
surgents under Aguinaldo, although it
was not stated officially that such
specific regulations were made.
1t was said that the joint note from
Dewey and Merritt does not in terms
refer to Aguinaldo, nor do the in.
structions mention the insurgent leader
by name.
Have Probably Made Demands.
It is known, however, that it was the
desire Of the American commanders to
have instructions on the manner Of
dealing with the large and menacing
force Of insurgents under Aguinaldo,
who have surrounded Manila for many
weeks and who, it is thought, may de.
mand or have demanded the right to
occupy the city with the American sol.
diers as the Cuban soldiers did at San.
tiago. 1t has been thought in some
quarters here that the showing hereto.
fore made by the insurgents would lead
to their receiving certain amount Of
recognition in the way of joint action
between the United States forces and
those of the insurgents when the city
was occupied, but the instructions sent
are based on
Occupation by the United States Alone
and as high official summed up the
situation there shall be no joint action
except between Merritt and Dewey.
They will maintain law and order and
will treat insurgents and Spaniards
alike, requiring all to observe peace
and order.
Aside from this dispatch the only
other word received from Manila dur.
ing the day was in the way of brief
dispatch from Admiral Dewey an.
nouncing the surrender Of the city last
Saturday. A detailed dispatch from
General Merritt was eagerly awaited
during the day, as it was feared that
the sharp engagement of the land
forces during the storming of Manila
had resulted in some casualties on our
side, but no dispatch came up to the
close of Office hours.
