liam Jennings Bryan" said Lieuten-
ant P. B. Cummings yesterday dur
ing warm eulogy of the famous
democratic leader.
Lieutenant Cummings was on his
way to Maple Greek, Neb., to assist
at the interment Of Private Charles
Head, whose body he was escorting
to the soldier lads former home. The
officer is a member of company F.
Third Nebraska volunteer infantry,
of which Mr.. Bryan is colonel and to
which young Head belonged.
Yes" continued Lieutenant Cum
mings, Il have been completely won
by Mr.. Bryan. 1t would be hard, in
my opinion, to know the man and
not like him. There is a certain per-
sonal charm about him that wins
friends without any apparent effort
on his part, and. besides, he has a
heart as we'll as brain, and you
know that can't be said about every
statesman.
''The emen of Camp Cuba Libre,
where Colonel Bryan now is, share
my respect for him. It is not put
ting it a bit too strongly to say that
they fairly idolize him. And small
wonder None is too insignificant
to deserve notice at his hands, and
you would think he was king and
they were his subjects if you could
only see him among them, and when
I say a king I mean one of that kind
o. princes celebrated in song and
story for their kindness and love for
their subjects.
'He visits the hospital at the camp
daily and leaves a trail of high spirits
and good fellowship behind him that
goes far toward cheering up the pa
tents in their narrow, almost COM
fortress, cots.
cit is his custom to stop at nea4lg
every bedside and make a cordial r''
mark to each sufferer, and they al
know him now and brighten up when
they see him coming.
ANY little thing the men lack that
it is in his power to give them Col
onel Bryan is always ready and will
ing to supply. If necessary he takes
the money out of his own pocket,
rather than see them do without that
which might tighten the burden Of
disease and confinement between
dreary walls. The soldiers like Cen
eral Fitzhugh Lee, in whose corps
Colonel Bryan's regiment is, but they
have a far warmer and stronger feel
irg for the Nebraskan than for the
Virginian. The latter is reserved,
| though kind and pleasant in his ways,
but Colonel Bryan treats all those
under him as if they were his per-
sonal friends.
when l first went into the SER
vice l could not help being prejudiced
against my colonel. 1t was natural.
Here is a man. I said, who has been
appointed through some feeling of
sentimentality and who does not
know as much about war as DO
about the planet Mars. 1 soon found
out nv mistake He knows things
intuitively, 1t seems, and, though he
has never been taught the technical
laws to be observed in Staying his
fellow creatures, such a man as he
is worth more to an army than
dozen Blancos or a houseful OF
tacticians."

As Is usual at this season reports are

Of hog cholera and swine pleague in

the water supply The germs appear
to collect at watering places and infect
troughs, and particularly are the water
courses dangerous which drain infected
territory lying higher up streams. DR..
Biting, Of Indiana, has collected large
mass Of testimony showing that the pre-
valeuce Of hog cholera in that State was

the farms to the water courses, the per-

strong and forcible speaker. Some
years ago, however, he became the
leader of the farmers alliance of
Minnesota, which developed later into
the peoples party, of which he is still

Donnelly, however, made his great

a series Of novels which are much

through his great Baconian cryptic

by taking well-known. passages of
Shakespeare's works, that Sir Francis
Bacon, the famous English statesman
and philosopher, was the author of
the works Of the immortal bard of
Avon The foremost Shakespearean
scholars of the world did not agree
with Donnelly. Prof. John G. Free

authorities met on the public plat

Havana. Feb. 24.-The officers Of
the court of inquiry into the Maine
disaster yesterday discovered, it is
said, that the armor plates were pro
jecting from the water forward near
the bow from the bottom of the
ship. There is a good deal OF specu-
! lation as to what the cause of this
is, many contending that the position
of the plates shows that the big mag
azine forward did not explode. The
divers have found several powder
cases unexploded on the starboard side
forward and believe that this fact in
dicates that the magazine did not
explode. This strengthens the convic-
ton that the explosion which
wrecked the Maine came from the
outside.

The strikers, however, threatened and
the men at work on the road, seeing
that they were outnumbered, agreed
to surrender and go along with the
strikers. A large number of other
witnesses testified to the effect that
the strikers were armed with sticks,
stones and pistols, that they drove the
people before them like goats, acting
like wild men, shooting and throwing
stones, driving the men at work On
the breakers away from their work
and inmates from their houses. One
woman testified that she overheard the
