A member Of the Red Gross, writing
to the Chicago Record, gives the fol-
lowing details OF the gosernment's
hospital ship Solace;
AS we entered the ship from the
fresh sea air our nostrIls were greet
ed by that intangible odor 50 INSOFAR
able from hospitals and 50 suggestive
OF clean disinfectnnts. We first visited
the ward. which contains "A large
space in the lower deck of the vessel.
Ii Is fitted up with ninety-two immoy-
able hunks, built in n double tier and
the tiers are separated by narrow
passageways.
The patients looked very comfort
able and well cared for as they lay In
white pajnmas. There are forty now
in the ward. Most OF them are ma
rines who were wounded in the skirm-
ishs at Guantanamo, and there are one
or two Cuban soldiers, who fought in
cooperation with the marines. Some
OF the men are only slightly and some
are very badly hurt. A shell had ex-
ploded right in the face Of one man.
and his head was entirely lost in band
ages. The physician in charge said he
was doing well and would carry but
few scars. Another man seemed TO
have wounds scattered all over his
body. One arm was in sling. the
hand OF the other arm was plastered
over and one leg was swathed in
bandages. Miss Barton stopped to ask
him a question. He thanked her with
smile and told her he was doing well.
Then she smoothed back his hair in
her tender. solicitious way, saying:
You are helping TO make the history
OF your country now, you poor fei-

Directly above the ward on the main
deck Is the operating room. Ii is com
pletely equipped with all modern hos
pital appliances. The dispensary has
telephone connections with every other
part OF the ship, the bathroom has an
automatic appliance for turning on
water ut any temperature. from Ice

ing tables, the sterilizcrs-all are per
feet. The vessel Is lighted with cleo
tricity and electric fans spin in every
warm corner. There IL an elevator
which lifts the stretchers over the
ships rail. carries them up to the oper
ating room and finally deposits the pa
tents at their hunks in the ward. and
all without the painful necessity oi
much handling. There Is an emer
ccncy ward also below ready to b,

der and the following sentences at

The facts set forth let in a food of
light. The failure of Garcia to be
present at the Santiago dag raising.
and the comments on his absence had
been noticed by the President, who
had been led to believe that Garcia
had remained away from the scene on
the day of the surrender out of per-
verse spirit.
II was represented TO him that the
cubans' hatred for the Spanish was so
bitter that he would not be present
on an OCCASION where he would be OBJ
liged to treat his enemies with AT
least n show Of courtesy.

did not intimate that he would oppose
anything OF the sort.
l.. B. Smith, OF Brewer, United States
consul at Curacao, West Indies, died last
week. He was native of Milbridge. He
had been resident of the island of Gu
racao for many years. His strong Ameri-
canism and thrift soon placed him in the
front rank among its merchants, and his
enterprise led him into new fields, which
have proved OF great advantage to that
island. Capt. Smith was first appointed
consul by President Arthur, and served
about ten years, was again appointed by
one Of the best consular representatives
abroad, always seeking development of
American trade and commerce.
Mrs. Eliza Pinkhsm, of Milbridge, is
probably he oldest person now living in
Maine, being 103 years of age. She was
born in Esstport Jan. I, 1896. During the
war of 1872 Mrs. Pinkham was quite
young lady, and great many incidents
OF that struggle or SO much OF it as WIS
enacted on the eastern Maine coast, came
under her personal observation. Her re-
markable memory still enables her to
relate many interesting stories about the
people and events of those times. The
people dwelling along the coast were
always on the alert for British warships
and their sudden appearance in Passama
quoddy waters would occasionally cause
great CONSERVATION among the fishermen.
