Washington, July 10.-In all future land operations it is intended to have large sprinkling of regular troops, the assertion being. that the presence of regulars, officered by graduates of West Point. tends to stiffen and strengthen the volunteers. This makes it probable that when Santiago ha3 fallen and the campaign against Porto Rico begins a number of the regular regiments at Santiago will be with drawn for work in Porto Rico About 10000 troops will be left in Santiago for garrison duty.

 Evidences that Porto Rico Is the next number on the programme Is found in the fact that members of the revolutionary party of that island are in the city cooperating with war de partment officials in preparing correct maps of the harbors, rivers, roads, mountains, towns, etc. The maps in possession of the war department lack much of being correct. The Porto Ricans who are at work here kHow the geography of their country well, and will be of great assistance to war de- partment officials.

ANTIQUITY OF VEGETABLES.
Classic and Bible Records Abound
with the Names of Many
Kinds.

Some of our most common vegetables
seem to have come to us from time
that is immemorial, says the WaverIy
Magazine. Asparagus was in use 200
years before the birth of Christ. Ac-
curding to IIeroditus, lettuce was in use
even earlier than asparagus, for it was
cultivated as early as $50 b. c. Not only
was it grown, but it was grown
to be had at all times of the
wear, and even blanched to make
it white and tender. What better does
the gardener do to-day? The cucum-
Der is one Of the vegetables named in
early Bible history, though some claim
that melons were really meant. As TO
the melon, the date of its first cultiya-
ton is lost in antiquity, but Pliny re-
cords its use. and, as he died in a. ID. 70,
4 probably is as old as the cucumber.
Carrots and turnips were in use as gar
den vegetables before the Christian era.
No one seems TO have been able to trace
the origin of either the pumpkin or the
squash but we read that pumpkin pies
were made more than 500 years ago
after this recipe: Cat hole in the side,
take out the seeds and filamentS, stuff
with mixture of apples and spices and
then bake till done. The ancient Greeks
used to offer turnips, beets and radishes
in their obligations to Apollo. The
first they offered in dishes of lead. and
the second in silver, but the third was
offered in vessels of beaten gold" Par
ships we find mentioned by Pliny as
being brought to Rome from the banks
of the Rhine at the command of En-
peror Tiberius for use on his table.

MARINES SHOW THEIR PLUCK.
Cat Cable at Cienfuegos HarbOr Tn
der n Heavy Fire from the
Enemy-Tyo Killed.

Key West, Fla, May 16.-Amid per-
feet storm of shot from Spanish rifles
and batteries the American forces cut
the cables at Cienfuegos Wednesday
morning. -Four determined boat crews
under command of Lieut.. Winslow and
Ensign Magruder, from the cruiser
Marblebead and the gunboat Nashville,
put out from the ships, the coast hav
ing previously been shelled. The work
of the volunteers was perilous. The
cruiser Marblehead, the gunboat Nash
viile and the auxiliary cruiser Window
drew up 1000 yards from shore with
their guns manned for desperate duty.
One cable had already been cut and
the work was in progress on the other
when the Spaniards in rifle pits and
battery in an old lighthouse standing
out in the bay opened fire. The war
ships poured in a thunderous volley
their great guns belching forth massive
shells into the swarms of the enemy.
The crews of the boats calmly proceed
ed with their desperate work, notwith-
standing the fact that number had
IdIIeu, anu uHlSutN II, recurring 10 the
ships through binding smoke and a
heavy fire. One man in a Marblehead
boat was killed and six were seriously
wounded, one of whom, Robert Boltz
is now at Key West and is expected to
die, bullet having passed through the
base of his brain. Harry Hendrickson,
who also may die, was shot through the
abdomen.
More than 1000 infantry on shore
kept up a continuous fire, and the bull
let's from the machine guns struck the
warships a hundred times, but did no
great damage.
Ernest Suntzenech, one of the Amer
lean seamen wounded at Cienfuegos
last Wednesday, died at the marine hos
pital Saturday night and was buried
Sunday. He was a frSt-class seaman
apprentice and belonged to the United
States cruiser Marblehead. He was
shot through the left leg, in a boat,
while assisting in cutting the cable off
Cienfuegos. lie died after his limb had
been amputated.

NEEDED HIM IN THE HOUSE.
The Cool Retort of u Witty Girl TO
Her CompIacent Fiancee Sets
Him TO Thinking.

Among weddings slated for the near fu-
ture IS that of a clever young lawyer who
has Just won for his bride a charming girl to
whose heart he had long laid siege. The law
yer Is not without a certain amount OF good
opinion regarding himself, and particularly
prides himself on being rather a favorite
among girls OF his acquaintance. Nearly
year ago he first sought the hand of the
bride to be, but she demurred. \ few
months later he met with a second refusal,
but determined to make one more effort.
BY this time the young woman had come to
regard him with a good deal OF esteem. This
feeling grew in warmth and so, when,
week or so ago, he once more urged his suit,
she said the word which made him the hap
pest man IN town.
And you will be mine?" he asked.

his tone.
Perhaps the girl concluded that this was
as good time as any to take him down a
pes. or two, for she replied very coolly:
Yes, do realize it now. You see, papa
is out of town on business a good deal, so that
mamma, aunty and / are often quite alone
! have thought it all over and have come to
the conclusion that it would be ever so much
safer to have a man in the house all the
time"
The accepted lover gasped in establishment
for moment. but then, seeing a twinkle in
his adored ones eye, forgave her on the spot
On the way home, however, he voted that his
future wife would be a dangerous customer

THEY ARE READY.

Where the pines bend in the breezes in the
forests old of Maine.
Where the orange blows In beauty on the
sun-kiss'd southern plain,
Where rise the golden mountains far above
the western sea,
Lifts the chorus: We are ready! foT-
ward Cuba must be free.
Strike a blow for liberty"
Where AtlantIc's crested pillows dash
against a sturdy coast,
Eager for the call to battle stands GAL
LIANT hero host.
Where the great Ohio rushes past metrop-
oils and plain.
Like a mighty people speaking you can
hear the loud refrain:
I'VE will break the Spanish chain!'
Pants the sword within It's scabbard to
avenge the wrongs Of men,
Spain has blackened hist'ry's pages with
the crimes Of centuries ten;
Her gonfalons have fioated over seas Of
human gore,
Shell has sown with death and terrors Cuba S
fair and happy shore,
Until vengeance cries: mo more"'
Freedoms stalwart sons stand ready for
the thrilling call TO arms.
Ready In the teeming cities, ready on 6
thousand farms:
They have heard too long already trampled
Cuba's wailing cry,
In the shadow OF our banner they have
seen her people die;
To their rescue let US fly.
God has weighed In Rights stern balances
the myriad crimes of Spain,
The hour has come for vengeance; IT may
never come again;
Let the bright lone star OF Cuba rise ir

And her people stand beneath it, ever free
and truly brave.

campaigns. He would say nothing de-
rogatory of any officer, but he has un-
bounded admiration for Gen. Miles.
The Nez Perces chief, Joseph, who
was one of the greatest of Indian lead
ers, had been pursued by several vig-
orous fighters, with good commands,
and had eluded all of them. When Gen.
Miles, however, followed him and sur
rounded him, and when the old chief
realized that he had been out-generaled
in his own style of warfare, and in his
own country, he expressed amazement
and said: is this new chief that
has outwitted me? | know ii must be
a new chief, for the others are children
by the way, | do not believe that
any general could learn from books, or
under any instruction procure, the apti-
Iude for the disposition of troops which
seems intuitive with Gen. Miles. In the
same Nez Perces campaign, | recol-
lect his promptness of action when he
came up with the Nez Perces and found
them entrenched. The country was
new 10 Gen. Miles. He had never been
there before. But, glancing over the
country, using his field glass, and ask
ing a few questions of the guides, he
began Immediately the disposition of
his troops, and moved them with such
precision and celebrity that Chief Jo-
seph was outwitted and outgeneraled
with such dazzling quickness that he
uttered the remark above quoted.
Coming from a man of the undoubtcd
ability of Joseph, l have always re-
garded that remark as one of the great
est compliments that has ever been paid
to Gen. Miles as an Indian fighter.
Grover Cleveland was president
when Gen. Schofeld retired. Do you
know that there are no two men in this
republic who ought to have greater adj
miration for each other than EXPIRES
ident Cleveland and Gen. Miles. Their
lives have been parallel in civil and
military life.
while Grover Cleveland was poor
boy, sweeping the office for Lawyer
Bowers, in Buffalo, Nelson A. Miles was
a poor boy clerking in store in Boston.
Grover Cleveland possessed exceptional
ability and sturdy qualities, and Law
yer Bowers took him into his home and
into his office and encouraged his early
struggles. Using military terms, may
! say that Grover Cleveland passed
through all grades of promotion in civil
life, just as Gen. Miles has passed
through all the grades of promotion in
| military life. just as the poor boy in

An objection.

An incident occurred at the late ses-
sion of the Philadelphia Methodist Epis-
copal conference at Chester which
caused roars of laughter at the expense
of one of the delegates. Presiding Elder
F. b. Lynch had been called upon by the
bishop to answer for a classman APP
plying for elders orders, and in the
course of his remarks Mr.. Lynch made
use of the Latin quotations: "Poeta mas
citur non fit, substituting "orator" for
"pocta." AS ne uttered these words in
his resonant voice, delegate who had
been carrying on conversation with
his neighbor jumped to his feet and, at
tracing the attention of the bishop, eX-
claimed, in all seriousness: MIR. Presi-
dent, it seems to me that this is a Sc
rious matter. While the young brother
may be worthy, we ought to pause be-
fore acting in his case. 1t strikes me
that we ought not to admit any young
man who is suffering from fits" 1t was
some moments before order could be re-
stored and the innocent provoker Of
the merriment made to understand the
error he had made.-Philadelp hia Rec

A FRIENDS ADVICE.
And what it led to.

It Is not common occurrence that a
friendly word should be the means of Civ
ing nearly forty years of happiness and
health to the person needing the advice 1t
carried. This was the case with Mary
Lingard. At twenty-five she was dragging
out her days in miserv. At sixty-one she
do work that would shame many younger
happy, healthful years of industry. But
let her tell her story:
"Thirty-six years ago had great trouble
with my liver. The doctors allowed that
there were tumors growing on it, and they
blistered my side in an effort TO give me
relief / was at that time earning my
living a tailoress, but for FIVE years,
between the pain in my side aud the
blisters I was in constant misery. and
work was drag to me, with no prospect
of relief; fortunately for me, however,
friend advised me TO take DR.. Ayers Sar
saparilla, and finally persuaded me to take
4 regular course of II. when l FIRST com
menCed taking the Sarsapariiia my side
was painful that could not fasten my
dress, and for time l did not get any
relief but my friend advised me to per
severe and relief was sure to come and
come il did. This happened, as 1 say,
thirty-six years ago. My liver has never
troubled me since, and during these years
! have passed through the most critical
period of womau's life without any par
ticuiar trouble, and to-day, at siNty-oue
years of age, am active and strong, and
able to do days work that would upset
