 MORE KICKS COME FROM VOLUNTEERS.
One Soldier Tells of the Gross Neglect of the Sick Confined In the Hos-
 pitfalls at Ponce.

New York, Oct. 19.-The transport Obdam, which sailed from Ponce, Porto Rico, Sept. 28, via Santiago, has arrived here The transport had 250 sick and |convalescent soldiers and 35 passengers.
 After leaving Santiago where fire in her coal bunkers had to be extirguished, a fire again broke ont in the coal bunk CTS and although everyJeffort was made to get under control, was still,smoulder- ing when the Obdam reached Quaran- tine. It causad much, uneasiness as the transport had stored in her hold very large number of rifles.
 Ralph Harwfck of Dubois, Pa., member of the Pennsylvania volunteers, told narrowing story of the treatment he and his companions had received while ini Porto Rico
 "Watgot there on Julys28," he said, land were landed from the transport Mobile. Many of us had contracted ty- phoid fever in thelsouth The tropical climate developed the disease, but not withstanding our weakened condition the Sixteenth. made good fight when it encountered the 5Spaniards. The regi- ment' was underi fire for{ lover an hour and at the closesof the engagement 13 Spaniards had ! been killed and e5 wounded.
 "We deseryedRbetter treatment than we got when Iponce hsld been taken. The regulars were wellSlooked after, but the volunteers, were starved. When finally the menhwere forced to succumb to the fever and were sent to the hos pitals theytwerg treated most shameful ly. Although delirious we were forced to get outfof our cots to watch some poor brave fellowldying. Some of the men went mad under this strain. Only think of It-dehrious men nur sing the dying"
 HarwIck' 'ss story wassbut sample of the complaints which were recited by the men to Governor Hastings after they had iheentransferted from the Ob- dam.
 Governor. Hastings was reluctant to make public his views regarding the treatment the isohiers from his state claimed toshayza rnechivtad

Dealing With & Fox.

It is still in order to keep well in mind the established traits of the Spanish character in affairs of State in figuring upon the probable out come of the work Of the Peace Com. mission now assembled in Paris.
 Spanish diplomacy is dilatory and crafty in its methods to an excep- tlonal degree. It is more than likely to be peculiarly marked by these characteristics during the course of the present highly import ant diplomatic struggle. All the turns and twists and doubles possi- be to diplomacy will probably be practiced, the ultimate object being the gaining of time on the bare chance that some eway of escape from the surrender of the Phillip pines will open before the eyes of the Spanish diplomats.
 True, Spain realizes that under the usages of war the Philippines are lost to her. But she also real ;zes that con tinental Europe is sulk- ing over the prospect of the acquis- ition of these islands by the United States, aud that if, by any means, concert of the Powers can be inss dueed to take a hand in the present settlement of the Philippine ques tlon, Spain's chance of holding at least a portion of Shat territory, or of selling it out advantageously to Germany and other European pow CTS, are increased fifty per cent from that moment.
 There is one all-important thing for the America Commission to re- member in negotiating a settlement of this question. By right ot con quest the Philippines belong to the United States. The matter at issue is solely between the latter govern rnrnt and Spain, No European DOW CT has, or will have, the faintest warrant for interference in the set tlement. If the United States see fit to deal generously with Spain in the settlement, well and good. If this government deems proper on the other hand. to annex the entire

Philippine archipelago, it would be well within it's rights.
 The sooner these plain facts are understood by the great European powers, the less temptation will there be for Spain to employ her favorite diplomatic tactics of false promises, dissimulation and delay. And with these facts understood, the Spanish government should be forced to an immediate settlement of the Philippine question on the terms specified by this government. If it shall become necessary to re- new the war now temporarily sus- pended, the whipping then admins tered to Spain should be so thor ough and complete that even her diplomats will forget their peculiar cunning and so reverse their tactics as to make sprinting match of their unanimous rush to do the bid ding of Uncle Sam in order to secure peace.

THE Water Works question is be-
ing agitated in Lewisburg, and the
Sentinel report proposition made
by Pennsylvania parties, one clause
of which is that the city is to take
20 fire plugs at $50 per annum per
plug; another clause provides how
the city may in the future buy the
plant; and on the whole it reads
very much like the Columbia water
contract. Now we wish to warn
our neighbors against these prices.
In the first place, a fire plug is not
worth $50 year; in the second
place you can get it for less. You
will be told that it will reduce your
insurance; but it won't. The insur-
ance companies like the water CON-
panies simply take all they can get,
and neither supply and demand, cost
nor competition, have anything to
do with the price. OF course water
companies are good things, and fire
protection is a necessity, but $50 a
plug is out of all reason, and because
Columbia has made bad trade is
no reason why our neighbors should
They should, on the contrary, profit
by our experience.

Friday, June IL, the First Repi-
ment of Tennessee Volunteers, Colo
mel VIM. @. Smith, commanding,
marched up Market street from the
ferry. Thousands of enthusiastic
spectators cheered them at every
step. They were a fine looking body
OF young men, but poorly clad and
travel stained. AS if in keeping
with the dress of the soldiers, one of
their stalwaTts carried an old torn,
time-worn American flag, a relic of
the Civil War, which had been cap
tured by Tennessee Regiment In
"the lines that tried mems soul. -
The sight of the old battle flag crea-
ted great enthusiasm as the brave
boys went marching on.
Again the troops come marching and
music's in the air,
Again the streets are crowded with
old and young and fair;
Again the long line passes in soldierly
array,
But something more than usualis the
pageant of to-day.
For though "Old GlOry's" waving, in
every shape and size,
One faded piece Of bunting brings
tears to many eyes.
Why do the people wildly shout. why
do they run and cheer,
What is there in the passing show
that seems to all so dear?
Look for yourself, down the line, where
a stalwart youth holds high
n faded, torn and tattered flag, that
moistens every eye.
