going in was the only point worth con-
sidering. So it was to them. This was
everyday heroism, heroism in overalls
and oil and coal dust from ankle to eye
brow. Hobson, despite his uniform, was
almost as dirty and disheveled as his
men, with forty-eight hours growth Of
beard, eyes sunken for lack of sleep and
hands as black as coal heavens. bat
hands were as cool and firm in their
grasp as though they were going on
parade and nothing would dull the fire
of those sunken hazel eyes. Reserved,
but courteous even to gentleness, he
spoke of his plans. He spoke as his
men had spoken-of going in, nothing
of coming back, except this, just at
parting: Nov, pardon me, but in
case you gentlemen write anything Of
this expedition, please don't ray any
thing individually about its members
until you know he accented the last
word and the influence was plain, ''un-
til you know we are dead" would have
filled out the sentence.
While the Associated Press cores
pOndent was on the bridge Of the Mer-
rimac, a young officer from the Mar
blehead came aboard on business. When
he left he said Shall we send You
fellows over some breakfast? We
would be delighted and can do it just
as we'll as not"
Never mind about the breakfast, old
man." replied Hobson, but if you can
send some coffee, we. would De very
glad. You see, we are swept pretty
clean here and none Of us have had 4
drop of coffee since day before ycster-

FIFTH CORPS COMPLETE.
Rules for Health Promulgated by
the Chief Surgeon to the Men.

TAMPA CFla.), June 5.-The Fifth
Army Corps is now complete. Lieuten-
ant-Colonel b. f. Pope, Chief Surgeon
of the Fifth Army Corps, has prepared
a complete set of instructions in re-
gard to the preservation of the health
of the soldiers during the campaign in
Cuba The rules have been printed,
and every soldier has been furnished
with a copy of the instructions, to
study them carefully. The rules read
as follows:
The body adapts itself readily to
changes of climate You do not re-
quire any special preparation for the
climate of Cuba. You should meet the
heat in the same way you do in the
summer season of the North. Avoid,
therefore, the use of medicines that are
recommended to protect the body
against the action of the climate. The
dangers in the tropics do not come from
the direct action of the climate. The
danger is due to the presence in some
districts of the warm countries of the
microbes of certain diseases. The chief
measures for the prevention of these
diseases will be instituted by your COM
manding officers. There are no medi-
cines that will protect US from these
diseases. Do not take quinine regular
ly when your health is good. Do not
take purgatives when the bowels are
regular. Drink boiled water when you
cannot get natural spring water. Stag
nant surface water is especially dan
gerous. If possible drink water only
at meal times. Avoid unripe and un-
sound fruits. Peel fruits before eat
ing. Use as little alcoholic beverages
as possible. The clothing should be
light and loose. When wet with sweat
or rain remove it for drying and rub
the body brislxly with wet towel until
it is clean. Also if exposed to
draughts when perspirng freely, put on
some extra covering. When your feet
are wet rub them dry and put on dry
socks even if you cannot change your
shoes. Protect yourself from mosquitoes
by gloves and nets. Battle the body ev
cry morning and evening you can, but
do not swim in the heat of the day
except in the shade. Sleep in dry
clothing only Otherwise keep awake
and move about. The health will de-
pend in great extent upon the strict
observance of orders not to communi-
cate with suspected persons or places
Report all sickness to a medical officer
at once
An exhaustive set of instructions has
been prepared by DR.. John Guiteras.
the Philadelphia yellow-fever expert,
who is to accompany the army into
Cuba. The instructions, which are for
the use of commanding and medical Of
ficers, give minute details as to the
measures to be taken for the prevention
of yellow fever. Although instructions
as to the use of quinine and alcohol are
given, the use of either except when
absolutely necessary is condemned.
There are three additions to the list of
representatives of foreign Governments
who are here to watch the operations OF
the American army. and will accom-
pany the troops. They are Major G. H.
Shiba of the Japanese Legation and
Captains Hildegard and Owester Of the
Swedish Legation.

Brigadier-General Simpson Snyder

BIN Warts. Toad. nrnsont.

From the San Francisco Post: The
happiest living being in the whole
camp is without doubt Bill Warts
who came to California with one Of
the Colorado companies. Bill is NOT
regularly enlisted either as a private
or mascot, but he is lone of the
gang" He is the --LATEST and home
Hest little horned toad that any one
would care to see, but he is happy.
Bill travelled to California carefully
slowed away in one corner of a pri
Yates knapsack, but the trip and
change of climate did not agree with
him. He became Iistless and seemed
to take no interest in life or flies. and
gradually dropped during the cold,
rainy weather, till one morning he
was found cold and stiff. His master
regretfully decided on a military fun
eral, so Bill was buried in the sand
and firecracker exploded over his
grave. Bills forgotten grave was
trampled by many feet during the next
few days. Then came the hot weather
when the men were forced to seek what
shelter their little tents afforded
While some of the boys, half stripped
lay painting in a tent they observed a
movement in the sand in front of their
door, and on closer inspection discov-
cred Billy Warts contentedly winking
and blinking in the sun, while his sides
were bullying with flies he had .gnap-
ped off a discarded bacon rind.

HIS COUNTRY'S FLAG.

Through the wlthered fields of grain
rode the hunchback, Sandy Hartog, on
his blind old buckskin, Nell. Rarely
he descended from his mountain home;
keenly alive to his deformity, he dread
ed the rough good nature Of Vaquero
Water.
Amt ben down lately" commented
the "jedge"-postmaster notary, store
keeper, all in one-"not up-to-date on

WAR" cried the hunchback. VINO
with? What for?"
"Reckoned as much" returned the
other with complacent chuckle. Set
right down in the store, Sandy, an read
yer papers. You'll find 'em real eye
openers. Hold on till the stage comes
in an get the latest news"
The hunchback hesitated, then
turned and entered the darkening store.
To his relief it was deserted by the
usual frequenters; neither lazy Jim
Green, the Man in Politics, nor Smouse,
the socialist of the hills, was there. He
strobe to where the western light fill
tered through a dingy pane, and there
read on, absorbed, breathless. For him
no waiting day by day for new develop
ments; relentlessly, from the sinking Of
the Maine to the call for volunteers,
marched events to the inevitable end.
The evening loafers, unheeded,
dropped in by twos and threes, lounged
on the nail kegs near the door and
awaited their sole touch of contact with
the outside world, the stage from Las
Pelitas. Sprawling on the counter was
the Man in Politics, a person Of i'm
portance in the village. His voice,
raised in lazy scorn, broke in upon
the hunchback's reverie:
Flight! Not if I know it! I've been
waiting ten years to get my hand into
the county treasury. It's in now, thank
the Lord, and 1 don't take it out for
no blamed war"
Bursts of obsequious laughter fol-
lowed. His hand in this same treasury
was worth a dollar a day to many
hanger-on.

voice. "Nothin' else to do-dry year,

No. Smouse shouted, turning his
gaunt, unshaven face upon the speaker,
for there amt nothin' in it! Look at

month. I've never worked for Iess'n
two an a half day. I'd ruther starve
on acorns fust.
