A Gallant Deed at Omdurman.

The incident occurred just before the
second engagement. At that moment
Colonel BToadwood had drawn off his
Egyptian cavalry to the northward,
with the object of cutting off the re-
treat of the enemy in that direction.
When the Dervishes retreated at the
end of the first fight Broadwood started
across the open plain, which was still
full of the ene1ny's skirmishers, who
were by no means beaten. The Sirdar
Immediately sent the Marquis of Tulli-
bardine to Colonel Broadwood with in
structions. 1t was risky commission,
but the Marquis started upon it at full
gallop. The Dervishes jumped up at
him as he dashed past across the plain,
and he had more than one narrow es-
cape He reached Broadwood all right,
delivered his orders and returned with
the cavalry. On the way heavy fire
was opened ON the cavalry. Two troop
ers riding near the Marquis were both
wounded and fell from their horses.
The Marquis Immediately dismounted,
and in the face of a hot fire picked up
both men, and was getting them on
horseback again when both were struck
again by Dervish bullets, and died in
the arms of their gallant rescuer.-Lon-

THE ARMY MULE.
He is a Most Patient and Necessary
Factor in All Operations.

An element OF strength in a war be-
tween the United States and Spain
would be the superiority Of the United
States in the matter of mules. The
United States is the greatest mule ma
ton in the world and Missouri is the
bright particular mule State in the
Union.
1t is a remarkable fact that in this
contest Spain is also a mule country.
The ceremonial team of the royal fam
lily of Spain is composed Of white mules.
But in this point of comparison, as in
every other, the superiority of the
United States is manifest. AS the
United States has more men and more
suns, so it has more mules. Spain has,
during the three years contest with
the insurgents, been forced to draw her
mule supply from the United States.
principally from Kansas City With
war this supply will be cut off, and the
American mule, no longer being subject
TO draft in a cause he must despise.
will be used in the service of his own
country.
The mule became prominent in his
tory at the time of our civil war. The
long-eared champion seemed to spring
certain sections Of the country who had
never before seen pair of mules har-
messed lived to see thousands of them
hauling army wagons. Teamsters, also.
seemed to be created for the occasion.
While the. art of driving mules is sep
arate and distinct science, thousands of
fully qualified drivers appeared, ready
to climb into the saddle, armed with
the resonant "blacksnake" and a full,
free, rich and rolling vocabulary.
The mule, it is needless to say, has
developed in war the highest military
oualities-endurance, patience, courage
The war horse, eulogized by Job and
many writer's since, has never displayed
the practical traits Of the army mule
which have never been preserved in
blank verse or flowing rhyme. The
mule is ever active, alert and watch
ful, and his clarion voice, ''rouses the
soldier e'er the morning star" Usually
the mule does not go where glory waits
him (though General Fighting Philip

temper but in trying times it was never
allowed to interfere with the perform

In the darkest days and nights of tha
war, as his soldier associates will now
remember, that the bright qualities of
the mule appeared In the darkness
and storm, with mud to the hubs, ha
leaned to the collar and 'snaked" tho
heavy vain, calm and imperturable,
although his director wrapped himself
with curses as with a garment and rode
along enveloped in light blue halo Of
profanity. And when the muddy march
was over the mule, who for days to-
gether had dined and supped on end
gates, released from harness, and his
longvacant interior decorated with n
few quarts of corn, ran and raced and
squealed and kicked and played with
his fellows as if he saw already SPAN
ming the horizon the rainbow of peace
In warm and Southern regions the
services of the mule are Indispensable
While he can live anywhere, he seems n
sort of tropical beast. 1t is believed
that his ample ears first unfolded in
the sun of the equator and that palm
leaves and similar vegetation stirred to
his first high and vibrant note. In
Cuba he was found in peace and will
find in war wide field of exertion.

count Of the weather. The invention
affects all the chords alike and pre-
serves their harmonic distances from
each other in such a way that, though
it may be possible for the whole pitch
of a pianoforte to rise or to fall, it is
impossible for any single note to get
out of tune. The apparatus Is sim
pie, and is said to be applicable to all
kinds of pianos.

others by several hundred votes; and
a few weeks ago, when a vote was
taken at a promenade concert, the same
overture again headed the procession,

When Verdi was elected a member of

Cavour wrote to a friend expressing
his satisfaction that the man who had
composed the "Miserere" in I'll Trova-

Cavour could ever appreciate-should
be a member of the Italian Parliament.
Honors, political as we'll as artistic,

YIELD AT LAST
Spanish Peace Commissioners FL
nally Convinced Americans
Were in Earnest
In Their Refusal to Be Bound For
Any Part Of the Cuban
Debt.
They Therefore Agree That the
Ciban Article of the Protocol
Shall Stand.
Discovery Had a Very Depress-
ing Effect Upon the
Spaniards.

PARIS. Oct. 2s.-The Spanish peace
commissioners have accepted the mega
tive view of the United States commits
sioners toward the proposed assumption
by the United States of the Cuban debt.
The American commissioners have
firmly but courteously declined to as
sume for the United States the entire
or joint responsibility for the Spanish
financial conditions. and the Spanish
commissioners have finally abandoned
the effort and have agreed that the Gu
ban article Of the protocol shall. with
out conditions. have place in the ulti-
mate treaty of peace.
Did Not Think They Meant 1t.
1t was not until Monday that they be-
came actually convinced that the Amer
lean refusal to accspt the Cuban debt
had from the outset meant exactly
what they said. In spite of the fact that
the Spanish commissioners had as a
background of their efforts doubts of
succeeding. their hope of SO doing has
been SO keen. and their contention has
been SO vigorously prosecuted that the
final conviction of their inability to win
| their point brought to the Spaniards
such a shock and depression that. con-
Eistently with these dispatches at the
time. there We're grave doubts as to the
continuance of the negotiations.
They Were Much Depressed.
In support Of these statements is the
| fact that Senor Montero Rios. after

the Spanish peace commission. had he
not believed that his so doing might
have previously shaken. even if it had

other reason. Senor Montero Rios re-
tained his position. and at "Wednesday 5
session. acting under the conviction ar
rived at on Monday, the Spaniards an
nounced that they would forego further
argument on the Cuban debt. and
agreed. that practically in the terms
and absolutely in the spirit of the pro-
tocol. the article about Cuba should &c
forward into the final treaty.
Thus. Spain agrees to relinquish SOW

PARIS. Oct. 2S.-After noting that the
session of the peace commissions did not
arrive at any solution regarding the Gu
ban debt. The Gaulois says:
The situation is extremely strained
owing to the increasingly aggressive
attitude of the Americans. and it is even
feared that if the Spaniards should not
gotiations will be broken off in the
course of the next meeting. 1t seems
unquestionable that the near approach
of the American elections plays a con-
siderable role in the attitude of the
Spanish delegates. who have supposed
that gaining time would obtain better
terms from their conquerers, while just
the opposite is happening"
Continuing, the Gaulois intimates
that if the Americans continue to show
themselves intractable towards the
Spaniards, a renewal of hostilities may
result. especially if the Spaniards de-
clare that they have arrived at the ex-
treme limits OF honorable concessions.
The Gaulois then adds:
