DEGRADING THE FLAG.

There has recently been introduced
a sc-called musical handkerchief,
which bears reproduction OF the ma
tlonal flag printed 10 colors, the
stripes forming musical stan. II Is
advertised by New York manufac-
turer 70 the trade In these words:
"Why not combine profit with patri-
otlsmY These goods are the most
soul stirring reminder Of the nations
glory and her dead, yet DEVISED This
novel con- mblnatlon OF profit patriot
Ism--the nations glory and the ma
tlon's dead embodied in a pocket
handkerchief is a disgraceful refec-
tlon upon cur methods Of evinclng
patriotism, and may we'll arouse the
honest indignation Of the army OF
brave men, who, with our Dewey, our
Sampson, our Schley, our Wheeler,ou
Miles, our Roosevelt, cur Hobson,and
other gallant officers, have upheld the
honor and dignity OF our flag, which
now protects under its folds, four out
OF the five great families Of the hu-
man race.
The national lag is converted into
grotesque coats for negro minstrels'
decorative skirts Tor ballet dancers
worn as trunks by prizes fighters,
circus clowns, professional bicycle
riders, manufactured into picture
mats with opening cut TO admit dlf
ferent size photograps, and is used a'
fancy dog blankets and equine fly nets

printed on the flag to advertise Ger

bad example and has deadened TN
sentiment that the emblem OF ou
repdbIic should be kept as inylolat'
as was the Holy OF HOLES In KIM
SClomon's temple. This steadily 10
creaslng abuse has kept pace with ou
wonderful national growth, and th
offenders, in general, have come TO re
gard any law prescribing the use o
the colors as an infringement upo
their rights as citizens.

never been anything that l have

Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, July 26.-(Delay-
ed in transmission -Colonel Ewers re-
turned to Santiago last night after re-
ceiving the surrender of the Spanish
troops at Caimanera- He was accompan-
led by Mr.. Brooks, the British consul,
and officers from Caimanera- Colonel
Ewers Will probably return here after con
sulting with General Shafter.
Caimanera was found to be strongly de-
Tended and rifle pits and earthworks COM
pletely surrounded the village. Only the
smoke stack of the Sandoval, the Spanish
gunboat sunk at that place, is visible
above water. and it is improbable that she
can be raised.
The Spanish troops at Caimanera are a
ragged and hungry lot.
Ensign Prague, who had charge of the
launch from the Marbehead which took
Colonel Ewers TO Caimanera, says that
the Spaniards asked for permission to fire
