STORY OFF CUBAN. WAR.
Reunion of Husband and Wife After
Long SeDaratiOn.

A romantic love affair, eliminating in
the reunion of two happy hearts after Il
separation Of several years, has just been
brought to light, according to the Salem
Va. Tines Register 1T is uthe story of
Alexander Walters of Washington, D. c..
who was a member of Company A, I'd Vir-
ginia Volunteers, during the recent war.
Walters, it is said, enlisted under the name
of Reed, and soon became known as the
Mysterious Private" because of his dis
inclination to discuss his past. Just be-
fore the regiment left Jacksonville Walters
became ill of fever, and during the course
of the disease became delirious. Later his
delirium left him, and calling for an officer
he told him of his past, and begged him to
send for his wife.
According to the story, Walters, after the
loss of his child several years ago, became
insane and left Washington. He travelled
over the country for a time, and one day
v as taken Ill and sent to a hospital When
he was convalescent he was told his name
was Reed, and since that time he has used
that Eame, although confident it was not
his own. His past seemed blank, and
vainly he strove to recall some incident
which would connect him with his past and
restore his reason.
The officer, after hearing the strange
story, sent for the soldiers wife, and short
ly after she arrived Walters at that time
was delirious, and the surgeons told her he
had but a short time to live. She corrobor-
ated the story of the soldier, and, obtaining
permission, went into the hospital and
nursed her husband back to life and health.
When he became conscious the sight of his
wife restored his reason and he remember
ed everything up to the time of leaving
home
The news soon spread to the soldiers sta
toned at the camp, and when Mr.. and Mrs.
Walters left they were given a royal send
off. Through the efforts of an influential
friend the soldiers discharge was obtained,
and ne is now at a northern resort regain
ing mis- shattered health

WANT TO EXHIBIT AT PARIS.
Many Applications for Space at the
French Expedition.

Many Applications for Space at the
French Exposition.
Major Bracket. secretary of the Amer
lean commission to the Paris exposition is
in the city his way to New York 10
meet Commissioner General Peck. who Is
returning from Paris. Major Bracket has
been in charge of the commission head
quarters in Chicago. Applications for
space for exhibits have been rolling in on
him for weeks. He says that one concern
alone has applied for more than one
fourth of the space allotted this country at
the exposition. The applications for space
more than cover the amount of space at
the disposal Of the United States. The ap-
plications to come. it is estimated, will
take up three or four times the space allot-
ted to Commissioner Peck.
The plan will probably be devised Of
selecting the best Of everything made in
this country, as each manufacturer can
rot be accorded the space he desires
Duplication of exhibits will not be permit
ted, as the space cannot be had. The man
ufacturers of reapers, mowers, plows, cul-
tivators. &c, for example, will have to get
together and appoint committees to select
the articles to be exhibited by tain
edged to make the best mowers, will be
allowed to exhibit that article. while an
other will exhibit reaper, another a cul-
tivator. and so on.
Commissioner General Peck is returning
with diagrams of the space given to this
country. and by degrees this will be aIlot-
ted as the Paris commission thinks to the
best interests of the country. Owing to
| the limited space there will be probably
many charges of discrimination. &C. Bus
| mess men throughout the country, Major
Brackett says, are greatly interested and
| the clamor for space grows daily.
Major Bracket will not go to Paris until
the buildings near completion. He will
probabS go over next spring or summer.

File Room Was Stripped.

Clerk Mckenny has not been able to en-
ter his file room, which was stripped by the
fire. He says his office did not sustain
much damage except in the sentimental
value placed upon the original opinions of
the Supreme Court early in its history.
The papers stored in the basement and
burned were of no moment whatever and
those Of any Importance in the file room
seem to have been spared.
The conservative estimate of $4,000 to
the loss, stated by The Star yesterday.
looks today as if it could safely be con-
tracted to S5O,O00 of which $4,000 would
be for the floors and ceilings, wood work
and other permanent parts of the struc-
ture. and $4,000 for books, furniture and

NOT THE LAST A!!|.'S''
Washington Officials Expect Sew
sral More Sessions Of the Peace
Commission.
Believed the Spaniards Will Not
Refuse to Discuss Cessi0n Of
Philippines,
And That the Main Trouble Will
Be in Fixing a Price to
Be Paid.
Dispatch From Madrid Says Spain
Will Yield With a
Protest.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The officials
of the state department do not expect
that the next meeting of the peace COM
missioners in Paris will be the last. On
the other hand it is not expected that
the Spaniards will come in with an u11-
conditional acceptance of our last de,
mand. Still, substantial progress may
be regarded as having been achieved if
the Spaniards show a disposition to dis
cuss in any phase the cession of the
Philippines to the United States, even
in connection with money indemnity.
The amount Of that indemnity, after
all, it is believed, will be the principal
point of difference between the two
sides. Inquiry has been made into the
character of the projectors Of the re-.
markable syndicate scheme for the pur-t
chase of the Philippines for the sum OF
$400, 900, 900. The result has been to
show that they are irresponsible parties.
and it is scarcely to be doubted that the
project has been put forward as q means
of enhancing the price which the Span
iards may demand for the relinquish.
ment of the Philippines. In other
words, the Spaniards might claim justi-
fcation for demanding sum as large
as $500, ,000, 900 if they could point to the
fact that a syndicate stood ready to pay
double that price for the islands. How
ever, this has not led to any modifica-
tion of the American demands as far as
can be learned, and it is probable that
several sessions Of the joint session will
be consumed in haggling over the
amount Of money to be paid over on ac-
count of the Philippines.

NONE so GOOD.

inridge in reply said the victory had
been won "when General Toral's nerve
gave out" This, he continued, had
been the war of all others when success
had been won in it's earliest stages. He
believed that the war was the Lords
war, and that this wonderful success
was due to his supervision. Tie time
for the battle was, however, short
enough. Yet it must be remembered
that the distance between the battlefield
and Siboney was less than half q days
march; but while he considered the re-
suit as marvelously commendable, he
did not feel that General Shafter was
above criticism in the conduct of the
campaign. n ...
No Matter How 1t Was Tangled Up.
He could not believe the result was a
miracle, but he ascribed the outcome
to the fact that the army was one which
was capable of meeting all calls. mo
matter how it was tangled up" he said,
sit went to victory"
He had at the time quoted Lord Beres-
ford when he said to his army upon a
certain occasion: 81 have led you into
devil of fix and it is now your duty
to fight like hell to get me out of it.
He was sure, at least, that all engaged
in the war had acted with zeal, and
every man had done the best of which
he was capable and he had never known
q war in which there was not criticism.
