recently. Still later, Dave Shaier said:

August, and | will bet So, 900 to S., 600 or

cyclist, "but perhaps few novices are
aware that any natural deviation from
the direct line of the leg is increased by
cycling. ln-kneed persons become more
in-kneed and bow-legs are made more
circular. The cause is obvious. A
straight-limbed man gives a direct
thrust, but his less fortunate companion
is exerting double side thrust with his
knees as they pivot. To say that cycling
deforms straightforward man is alb
surd"
Hiram Maxim, the inventor, said
recently: "lf clever mechanic, with no
tools or materials but those which were
available 100 years ago, were today to
make bicycle, he would spend six
months on it, and the product would
be so costly that practically no market
could be found for it. But at the pres
ent time good workman can turn out
100 bicycles year, and they are so cheap
in consequence that almost everyb Ddy
can and does purchase them"

GETTING MONTAUK READY
All inc Tents in Sight Called For
 and a Hospital to be Erected.

New York, Aug. 15.-Somebody in the war department at Washington called'up somebody in the army build ing here on the telephone about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the following bulletin was transmitted:
 Hello. there! All Shafter's army has been ordered to get out of Cuba and go to Montauk Point, P. D. O."
 Lieutenant Colonel J. Morris Brown U. s. A., in charge of the medical sup ply depot here, when he heard the news, remarked:
 Well, if Shafter's coming P. D. O. it will be necessary for some of us at this end to get a move on, at least D. O."
 While every one was speculating on unofficial news, Colonel Amos s. Kim ball, deputy quartermaster-ge re- ceived official notification from the quartermaster-g that the entire Fifth corps, comprising the officers and men under Major-General Shafter, had been ordered to evacuate Santiago and proceed to Montauk Point as speedily as possible The official noti- fication carried with it the information

 One dog escaped into the street, re- fusing to be caught and protected, and his mistress stood at the gate hys- terically and tearfully calling, ''Fido, Fido. Come here. If you know whats good for you you will come back These women had mistaken MT. McCann for the dog catcher. They knew that the dogs day of grace would not end until today but they feared that the executioner had set out on his errand of destruction prema- turely.
 When MT McCann had finished his business with Mr. Nolin he returned to town, going down Fourth street AS he passed the houses which had just been turned into dog asylums, women put their heads out of doors and windows and gave him the horse laugh

THE WAR IN BRIEF.

Events have moved rapidly during the past few months, moro rapidly than at any time in American history. And if Spain, as rep0rrei is now ready to consent to terms of peace the na tion can look back upon an unparal- leled record. Victory has followed victory so rapidly that it Is necessary to recall the leading occurrences to realize fully what has been dcne. Here is brief recapitulation:
 April 22-War was begun by block ade of the ports of Cuba.
 May 1-Commodore Dewey attack - and sunk the Spanish fleet in the har- bor of Manila
 May 24-Commodore Schley's squad ron blockaded Admiral Cervera's fleet in Santiago harbor
 June 20-General Shafter's army ar rived off Santiago.
 July 1-2-The American troops at tackled the Spanish, drove them into Santiago and captured Fl Caney and San Juan
 July 3-Admiral Cervera made a dash out of Santiago harbor and every one of his ships was sunk.
 July 14-General Toral surrendered Santiago. the eastern end of the island of Cuba and 22,000 Spanish prisoners
 July 26-First landing of United States troops made in Porto Rico at Guanica
 August 12-Spain accepted terms of peace and the war comes to an end.
 This is a wonderful record to make in 113 days. Considered in connection with the unDr5p paredness of the coun- try for war it is a record no intelligent man could have anticipated With tile lessons learned in this war as to the need of keeping a larger and better

that the troops would come north as
 soon as transports could be provided. and that one shipload had already started. It was stated that the whole command would be on the way within
 six days.
 The war department officials in Washington may think all of Shafter's troops will be got out of Santiago with in six days, but nobody here thinks S,
 If the last detachment starts north by
 the enc of three weeks the movement will have been made more quickly than
 most movements connected with the | Santiago campaign. The force under
 General Shafter numbers at present | about 1S,O00 men. Of this number over 1000 are sick. The war depart
 ment has enough transports at Santi-
 ago, Porto Rico and Port Tampa 10 i bring up the entire command. It will be necessary, however, to have all the transports rendezvous at Santiago. To accommodate the troops wher they reach Montauk Point, all the tentage now in government store
 houses here, at Philadelphia, at St. ,, Louis and at Chicago has been ordered to the new camp at once. Forty am- balances now at Governors island have been ordered to be sent there.
