and asked who was there. 1t was Hos

about twenty years of age.

him. There were four wounded men
there and they were placed upon the

ried them, fearing all this time that an
Indian bullet might find lodging place
Lot far away from our bodies, but
nothing happened. When we reached
the blockhouse we found there all the
soldiers who were not on skirmish or
picket duty. In the back room of the
house lay the dead bodies Of the four
who had been killed, and found during
the afternoon. Maj. Wilkinson, Ser
geant Butler, Privates John Olmstead
and Albert Ziebel, and in the other
room Of the house the wounded were
carried and there the civilians and SOL

night.

heard. Sometimes coming from the

awful yell, which all in the cabin

STORMY SCENES UPON THE OCCU-
PATTON OF MANZANILLO
Gel. Ray, Ordered Out of the CITY
by the Spanish Commander,
Refused to Comply.

MANZANILLO, Oct. IA fight was
narrowly averted between the Spanish
garrison under Col Parron and the
United States troops under Col. Raw,
who have arrived here from Santiago
to take possession Of the city. The ar
rival OF the Americans had taken the
Spanish commander by surprise, and
he had represented to Col. Ray that he
had received word from Gen. Blanco
informing him that the date for the
American occupation had been post
poned until Oct 10.
He requested Col. Ray to cable for
additional instructions. The latter con-
sented to do so and sent a dispatch
to Gen. Lawton at Santiago. At 7
o'clock this morning Col Ray, not hav-
ing heard from Gen. Lawton to the
contrary, sent word by Adjt Gen. Col
Inns to Col Parron that, in accordance
with his Instructions he should march
his men to the city, and would take
possession in the name Of the United
States.
At o'clock the battalion was in mo-
ticn with colors flying. Col. Ray
marched towards the city. but before
the troops reached the city gate Adjt.
Collins arrived with Col. Parron's re-
ply. The latter said he had no oh
jections to surrendering the custom
house at once, providing the American
flag was not raised. Col. Ray retorted
that the United States was not accus-
toned to taking possession without dis
playing the insignia Of its sovereignty.
The American soldiers marched to-
wards the principal square, where it
halted, At this point Spanish bugler
sounded the call to arms, and the Span
ish garrison turned out to the number

his father, and 1 understand that this was one of the minor points of criticism raised by those who have not been wholly satisfied with Dr. Hall of late. though the New York newspapers do not seem to have heard about it.
 Bolton Hall believes in extending the circle of single tax believers by every possible means, including even what may be termed the "hurrah boys" method, and he was strong factor in the Delaware campaign of a year or two ago, during which there were some arrests of single taxers because of the noise with which they carried on their work. He is confident that the doc Urine will eventually prevail, though he admits that such populous centers as New York will probably be much hard CT to bring into line than the less com pact communities of the west and south.
 Green Goods and Bunco.
 The detection of d green goods man getting ready to fleece a 'come on" over in Hoboken the other day, has reminded New Workers that compara- lively few bunco cases of any sort have been reported in this vicinity of late. Whether the Hoboken case was spo- radie, and therefore of little eonse- quence, or whether it was merely forerunner-a single drop, so to speak, heralding plentiful shower of ''come- ons'' and consequently plethoric purses for the swindlers-is, of course, mat ter of too much uncertainty to warrant predictions.
 In the old days, when the green goods trade was carried on here as sys- tematically as any other, and almost as openly, there was a fourishing col- ony of those who subsisted thereby among the flat dwellers of a certain up- town West side district. Of active swim dlers of one sort and another in this colony there must have been 20 or 30 Nearly everyone had a family, and in some cases the families included chill dren.

A Rouscmaid's Effort to Please and
 Its nisnnnnintinrr ResnIt.


 A young woman, whose home is in St. Paul, spent a few days in Washington the guest of congressional family from New England. She had just returned from a six months tour of Europe, and the travel ing bag she carried was plastered over with steamer labels and stamps of half the famous hotels on the continent. She is not an ostentatlous person, by any means, the St. Paul girl, but she certainly did set great store by that decorated bag, and gazed with pride on it's collection of labels. Her charm of manner and the liberality of her tips, too, perhaps, completely won the heart of the trim New England housemaid of the congressional family. On the morning of the guests departure for St. Paul the maid ap- peared at the door of her room, wreathed with smiles and holding the travelling bag in her hand.

be relied upon, the members of this crowd were as quiet and law abiding folk as could be found on all Manhat tan island. Every possible precaution was taken to cover up the truth re- garding the business they were en- gagged in. Some of them, especially the women, attended church regularly every Sunday; the 'men folk were no more irregular in their goings and com ings than most men engaged in ordi- nary business, and the general conduct of the women was decorous to degree. Indeed, had exposure been contingent upon feminine forgetfulness or gar rulity, it is possible that the colony might never have been broken up.
 But one evil day a gorgeous drinking place was opened in q corner store un- der the row of flats in which the green goods men and their families dwelt. The location made this saloon so con venient, and the proprietor was such a il-fellow-well-met sort of chap, that the swindlers could not resist the temptation to drop in occasionally. Soon the place came to be their favorite resort, and it was not long before one of the group drank too deeply and talked too much, giving all the facts away to the saloon keeper.
 To a man of his peculiar mentality it seemed a great honor to be acquainted with bunko men and green-goods swim dlers, and he just had to tell those or dinary chaps among his customers who kept books or practieed law or sold gro ceries, what distinguished neighbors they had. Not all the men thus en- frightened minded much. but some were greatly wrought up, and social amen ities between them and the green-goods men were suspended without a day's delay by most of the ordinary chaps wives. Of course that drove the colony out of the neighborhood, but another like it doubtless exists somewhere here in New York. Perhaps there are sev- eral.
 All of which reminds me of story I heard the other day about Rev. Df. Parkhurst, concerning whom mighty little has been heard since his return from abroad, but who may soon again take his place in publicity's white light. This story may or may not have been printed; if it has, it .s old enough to be new. Briefly told, 1t runs about like this:

 0f course the state of affairs could not have been brought about had not Mr. Hall been able to enter thoroughly into their point of view and sympathize fully with their aspirations. Most men Of Mr. Halls social, professional and financial standing find it impossible to see things as the wage-earners see them or to understand their hopes and fears; and it is not surprising that this IS so Nor is it to be wondered at that |orklngmen perceive the truth at once when one whS lacks real knowledge and sympathy ''stoops" to assist them.

How badness begins. How to prevent it.

Every person, male or female, shrinks from badness. It adds to the appearance of age aud Is a serious discomfort. The cases are rare when the falling out of the hair may not be stopped, and new and healthy growth of the hair promoted. The hair grows in the scalp like plant in the soil. If plant hourishes, it must have constant attention; it must be watered regularly and find its food in the soil where it is rooted. It's so with the hair. Neglect is usually the beginning of bald ness Dandruf Is allowed to thicken on scalp loses it's vitality. The hair. insuf- hciently nourished. begins to fade and to fall. The instant need in such case is some practical preparation which, sup plying the needed nourishment to the scalp. will feed the hair give it strength, and so produce a strong and healthy growth. All this is done by Dr. Ayers Hair Vigor, the most practical and valua- b1e preparation for the hair that can be obtained. It tones up the scalp, does away with dandruff, stops the hair from falling, restores the original color to gray or faded

When Appo had told his tale Golf turned to his desk, Jerome picked up newspaper, and Dr. Parkhmst sat still, thinking on what he had just heard. The silence was broken by Ap- DO.
 T beg your pardon, Dr. Parkhurst," said the bunco man, but could you let me have two tens for a five? I'm out of change"
 "Why-why certainly MT. Appo," re- piled the minister. after moments hesitation. "To be sure. Here you are two tens for five"
 The little proceeding had attracted the attention of Messrs. Golf and Je- rome, but they said not word, though their looks were so peculiar that the good doctor smelled a rat in minute. Meanwhile Appo had spilled out of the room, though not beyond the precincts of the outer office There Dr. Parkhurst found the clever rogue.
 "Oh! Mr. Appo," the doctor inquired, anxiously, didn't I give you two tens for a five just now-for a five, mind?"
 "Why certainly" replied Appo, grin ming and returning the money, "and wasn't that what asked for?"
