Jammcd Cartridge EXtricated Under
Fierce Fire.


One Of the most thrilling incidents in the
naval engagement which resulted in the
destruction of the Spanish fleet by Ad niral
Schley off Santiago July 8 Is described by
Captain Murphy who commanded the
Marine Guard Of the flagship Brooklyn on
that occasion, in an official report to
Colonel Haywood commandant of the u
S. NJ. c., as follows:
During the early part of the action a
cartridge jammed in the bore of the star
board forward six-pounder, and in the eff
fort to withdraw it the case became de-
tached from the projectile, leaving the, lat
ter fast in the bore and impossible to ex-
tract from the rear. Corporal Robert Gray
of the port gun asked and received pc mis-
sion to attempt to drive the shell OFT by
means of the rammer. To do this it was
necessary to go out on the gun, ant the
undertaking was full of difficulties and
danger, the latter due In great measure to
the blast of the turret guns firing overhead
The gun WAS hot, and 1t was necessa y to
cling to the Jacob ladder with one hand
while endeavoring with the other to m lnip-
ulate the long rammer.
After a brave effort he was forced to
give up and was ordered in. Quarter Gun
ner w. II. Smith then came, sent by the
executive officer and promptly placed him
self in the dangerous position outsid. the
gun port, where he worked and failed as
the corporal had done. Neither had been
able to get the rammer into the bore and
there seemed to be nothing left to do but
dismount the gun. At this juncture Private
McNeal, one of the crew, volunteered to go
out and make final effort. The gun was
so important, the starboard battery being
engaged, that Is a forlorn hope he was
permitted to make the attempt He pushed
out boldly and set to work. The guns of
the forward turret were firing, the blast
nearly knocking him overheard, and the
enemy's shot were coming with frequency
into his immediate neighborhood. Ellis
was killed on the other side of the deck.
McNeal never paused in his work. The
rammer was finally placed in the bore and
the shell elected. The gun was put In ac
ton and McNeal resunfed his duties as
coolly as If what he had done were mat

Mosquito Killer of Mexico

from the Venezuelan Herald
The Mexican Central Railway Company
Is engaged in new experiment which, II 1t
IS all that is claimed for it. will be of in
estimabIe value to the residents of this
city To show how earnest they are in the
matter they have created a new office-that
of MOSQUITO commissioner-and the port
folio was awarded TO Capt. George c. Sper-
ry superintendent of telegraphs for the
company
Experiments in different parts of ths
United States, and in New Jersey in par
tlcular. have demonstrated the fact that
the determination Of the mosquito can be
accomplish
An exchange. in discussing the matter,
said:
Scientific investigation has disclosed the
fact that few grains of permanganate of
potash will destroy all the embryo mos
quitoes in a very large area of mosquito
swamp. At cents an acre all the mos
Quitoes can be killed off for a space OF thir-
ty days. and as the breeding time is but
two months 4 cents will assure protection
for the entire year. This places it within
the possibility of a state. and certainly a
city, to entirely rid itself Of a great nui-
sance"
April and May are the two months In
which mosquitoes breed. They are purely
local in their habits, and not migratory, as
some suppose. and they seldom move more
than a hundred feet from the place of their
birth Hence. TO exterminate the breed in
a certain locality would rid that locality of
the pest FOR that season at least, and the
method OF determination is so inexpensive
that an entire community may be rid of
them at very small expense.

COMMISSIONER JONES' STATEMENT.
Indians Dissatisfied With the Han
ding of Their Timber.

Commissioner of Indian Affairs William
A. Jones. who has been for a week in
Minnesota making negotiations which
were successful, with the g Chippewa In
dians for the resumption of peaceful re-
lations with the goverpme It has returned
to Washington and has made a verbal re-
, rort to Secretary Bliss .upcn his work
Commissioner Jones says the trouble is
attributable to the metholss of the whites
in the vicinity, who are taking gross ad-
vantage of the Indians In discussing the
outbreak he said:
The origin of the whole Trouble was dis
satisfaction with the handling of the In
dians' timber, but the immediate cause
was irritation at the frequent arrests of
Indians on trivial causes, often for no cause
at all, taking them down to Duluth and
Minneapolis for trial, 200 miles away from
their agency. and then turning them adrift
without meals to return home. l have in
formation that there is a regular arrange
ment between the deputy United States
raarshals and some boarding houses where
the courts are located by which the depu-
ties are to bring down delegations of In
dians witnesses in whisky and other
cases. This secures fees for the deputies
and money for the boarding places. At
Brainerd, Mimi, while / was going north.
l met party of twenty Indians on their
way to court at Duluth. many of whom
were of absolutely no value to the case
at issue, but whose presence witnesses
would inure to the financial benefit of
others.
The Indians were prompted to their out
break by the wrongs committed on them
and chafed under unfair treatment. When
| reached there they were surly, ugly, de-
fiant, but soon adopted a conciliatory atti
tude and finally agreed to negotiate for
the surrender of the men wanted. All but
two We're surrendered. They said they
would not allow two men to bring their whole
tribe into trouble, and proudly insisted on
sending themselves for the two men re-
manning, old Bug and his sen, to have
them turned over to the marshal They
are still out. The Indians claimed they
had whipped the soldiers and that not one
of their own number had received
scratch. They showed several Krag-Jor-
gensens. taken probably from where the
soldiers had the fight, but they did not
understand their use. The Indians will go
back to their homes and live peaceably,
if the whites will treat them fairly, which
is very likely, as the whites were thor
oughly impressed with the stand taken by
the Indians
In this respect Commissioner Jones will
recommend a reform in the existing tim
Der methods either adopting the scheme
row practiced at Menominee. Wis, of
keeping the timber profits within the tribe
itself by having the timber cut by indi-
vidual Indians or of advertising 4 certain
portion of the reservation each year to
be sold to the highest bidder. The latter
system would include both grown and
dead and down timber, and the timber
would have to be cut clean.

DID HER INJUSTICE,
Hollands Queen Wanted n Younger
Looking Portrait on Her Stamps.

From the New York Tribune.
Even queens, it appears, do not care to be
portrayed in a way which makes them look

the photographer is al fault but wherever
the blame lies II is the royal wish that the
stamps be recalled This sudden stopping
of the issue is likely to make the speci.
mems scarce, and hint of this is already
rousing the collectors.
In view of the fact that Wilhelmina now
objects to having her subjects think her
100 old, 1t is Interesting to recall that Just
SIX years ago she was worried lest they
should believe her younger than she was
At that time. in 1892, a series of stamns
was issued bearing a picture of the child
queen as little girl with short hair This
was evidently taken from portrait not
strictly up TO date, for by the time the
stamps came out WiIhelmina's~ hair had
grown long, ana she wore 1t hanging loose

was greatly annoyed at the short hair
