The story Of her trip is not only pic

tration of the capacity of our new navy
was about 81 days ago, on March 90,
when this great floating fortress Of steel
left San Francisco. Since that time she
has traversed nearly 10, 900 miles Of sea,
passing through every climate, from
north temperate to torrid, to south tenn
perate, to frigid, to south temperate and
torrid again, and finally into our own
waters. On one stretch of 6,200 miles
she steamed continuously without once
stopping for coal or for anything else.
AS for water, she distilled it for herself
out of the sea. AS for provisions for her
crew Of about half O thousand, she car
ried supply great enough for voyage

General Wheeler arrived at Chicka.

view indicated some of the military
characteristics which won him recog-
milton in the civil war.
Upon receiving his commission at
Washington he was instructed to come
direct to Chickamauga and report to
Major General Brooke for duty. Gener.
al Wheeler did not even wait to get bis
uniform, but packed his valise and
started on his journey.
He said to reporter: II was instruct

ately and left Washington ON the first

ment. General Brooke will look after
that. I don't know whether I will &c

VOLUNTEERS OF HAVANA.


How They Were Won With Pocket
Handkerchief Promise.
In 1868, when the revolution of ten
years in Cuba began, no volunteers ex-
listed in Havana worthy Of being called
such. There was only one old regiment,
and when Governor General Lersundi,
then of the island, tried to complete
this regiment he found the task difficult
Of accomplishment ON account of the
prevailing unwillingness to enlist But
just at this time, most providentially
for the relief of his dilemma, some un-
known hand covered the walls Of Ma
tanzas, near Havana, with huge posters
promising each Spaniard his passage
home and the privilege Of carrying away
with him whatever his pocket handker-
chief could contain in tho event of his
enlistment.
The effect of this stimulus to the flag
ging pulse Of the public was electrical,
and the enrolment Of 90, 900 men fol-
lowed within As hours. The volunteers
thus came into existence with their
chiefs in the majority, but the ruined
merchants of the city Of Havana soon
found out and objected to the newly
risen power This opposition increased
upon the arrival in Cuba of the new
governor general, Dulce, who came in
1869 as representative of the revolution
airy government in Spain. He was q
man of good faith, empowered by tho
government to grant Cuba all the re-
form she coveted and that had lately
been offered. He would undoubtedly
have put term to the revolution, avert
ing all the ruin and devastation which
followed, but such an easy and mag
unanimous course did not suit that class
which faced inevitable finf lcial ruin as
consequence Of such policy.

PLANS OF MANILA.
A Scientist Carried Them to Admiral
Dewey In n Newly Laundered Shirt.

A Scientist Carried Them to Admiral
Dewey In n Newly Laundercd Shirt.
William Doherty, an ,ornithologist
and entomologist who in the interest
Of science has traversed the four quar-
ters Of the globe and has achieved
reputation as farreaching as his travels,
recently returned from the Philippine
islands by way Of Hongkong and San
Francisco to visit his parents in Mount
Auburn, in Cincinnati. His latest dis
tinction was in successfully passing the
Spanish customs officers at Manila,
with complete plans of tho city, tho
harbor, the fortiflcations and minute
details Of their armament, from Consul
General Williams to Admiral George
Dewey. 1t was dangerous proceeding,
but Mr.. Doherty carried IL to success
The plans and drawings were concealed
in newly laundered shirt, which was
folded, pinned up and banded In the
usual style and put with other clothing
in his trunk. Arriving at Hongkong
early in April, he delivered the su-
premely important papers to Admiral
Dewey ON the Olympia.
Mr.. Doherty is q modest man and
deprecates notoriety and therefore had
little to say ON the subject, except to
state the bare facts. He first heard OF
Admiral Dewey's great victory when he
landed in the United States a few days
ago. He is the SON Of James N. Doherty
Of Cincinnati, who has been a street
railway manager and who has held
many county and city offices
