RED EAGLE, NOW VOLUNTEER.
An Indian Orator who Wears Glasses
and Saw the Indian Chief
Sitting Bull Die.

Red Eagle, French-Iroquois Indian,
who was present at the death of Sit
ting Bull during the Sioux uprising in
the winter of 1890, described the incl
dent at the Volunteer barracks last
night. Red Eagle is young man, tall
ard rather handsome, in feature giving
little token of his Indian descent. He
dresses in an Indian costume of some
stuff resembling buckskin, plentifully
frilled and fringed about the edges, and
covered over with fangles and bangles
that set off by their glister the red
and yellow of his coverings. His long
black hair, falling loosely about his
shoulders, adds picturesque effect to
his general makeup, which, however,
takes one incongruous note from the
glasses that sit astride his nose.
Red Eagle has remarkable command
of English. His talk is bright and fla
vored with rough and ready wit that
seems to take immensely with his hear
crs. He is type of the traditional In
dian orator in that he possesses GER
tain simple eloquence coupled with a
power of putting things that hold the
attention of his audience throughout
For the last seven years he has been en-
gagged in missionary work, chiefly
among the Indians. Now he is travel
ing in the interests of the Volunteers of
America.-OmahaB Bee.

CUBA ONCE ENGLISH.
When and How the British Won tn,
Island From Spain.

When and How the British Won the
Island From Spain.
The rich island of Cuba was once
in the possession of England.
In the spring of 1862 q feet left
Falmouth for the WestIndies. George,
the third Earl of Albemarle, com
manded the expedition, while under
him served his two brothers. On June
6, 1852, the fleet cast anchor before
Havana with an army of 1000 men
on board.
At daybreak on the 9TH the siege
commenced.
The art of waging war in the hot
climates is to choose the cool season
of the year. Unfortunately for the
British Cuba was extremely hot and
unhealthy in the month of June, and
it was therefore the very worst season
in which the siege of Havana could
have been attempted.
After Havana had fallen the Earl of
Albemarle wrote home to the secre-
tary of state: "We are now better
acquainted with the climate than we
were when the present expedition was
undertaken and it is certain that the
only season in the year for troops to
act in is from the beginning of No
vember to the latter end of March.
The Moro fort was the chief point
of resistance; it guarded the entrance
to the harbor of Havana. Supporting
the guns Of the fort were eleven Span
ish men-of-war. Six Of these carried
seventy guns, one carried ninety four
and the remainder were sixty-gun
ships. 1t took three weeks to get the
siege guns landed and in position.
The Spaniards fought bravely and did
great damage to the attacking fleet.
By the middle of July the defense
was practically at al end. On Aug.
II articles of capitulatlon were signed
and the yictors proudly set up the Brit
ish flag in Havana after a splendid
fight for the richest city in the Indies.
At the assault of Moro 7O6 Span
lards were killed, wounded and taken
prisoners. The Spanish loss alto
gether was not less than 5000 men.
The British losses were $50 during the
fight and by the end of October (the
men had been dying off like flies from
sickness owing to the climate) the
death roll arose to the enormous num-
Der of 4708.
Although Albemarle sent off a
great number of survivors to New
York to recruit their health the NOR
tality was very great there, and he
eventually found himself in command
Of only 1000 men. It is interesting
to note in passing that his estimate
of the force necessary to hold Cuba
was 5000 men. Spain today has more
than 100, 900 men in Cuba.
On Feb. 10, 1853, the treaty of Paris
was concluded between England.
France and Spain, and Cuba passed
again under Spanish rule, being given
up almost for the asking.

The Panthers of the Philippines.

The Felipinas, which destiny has in
charge, and which, like Cuba and
Puerto Rico, the United may have in
charge also, are the fairylands of
Oceanica, the home Of the humming
bird and the freely. The climate is q
thing to feed on, the scenery is a
caress to the eye. Barring the wild
ca5 and the Spaniard, there are nc
beasts OF prey. The Spaniard came
in the train Of Magellan. He had to
fight to do it. The adventure cost
Magellan his life and vast amount
of jealousy on the part of Portugal. 1t
was in the neighboring waters that
the two great maritime powers of the
sixteenth century, struggled for the
dominion of that new world which
neither the one nor the other was to
rule. The circumstance is notewor-
thy in view of the fact that it was
this hemisphere which bore the brunt
of Spanish violence Malaysia was
approached more gently. On it's shores
there disembarked warriors more pa
cific and priests less inquisitorial. Far
from CASTLE and continuously threat
ened by Portugal, the Spaniard I'M
derstood that to gain subjects mercy
was better than might. In that part
of the globe he became indulgent. In
every other colonial enterprise he de-
veloped into brute. It is on since
possessions here have vanished that
in the Felipinas the beast of prey ap.
peared. In earlier days, apart from
Portugal he had only Chinese pirates
to fear. The latter SO bothered one
of the governor generals that he got
ready to set out and conquer Cathay.
In that epoch the average Don was
fuller of fight than of wisdom. Time
has not changed him in the least

HOW ONE FEELS IN THE BATTLEFIELD
A Peculiar Excitement Supplants Fear
Effect When First Man Falls.

A Peculiar Excitement Supplants Fear
Effect When First Man Falls.
"The remark of General Fitzhugh
Lee that all men feel some fear on en-
tering q battle is eminently correct"
said a prominent Canadian military
man recently though many military
men do not like to be so free in their
expressions in this particular. Once
in battle, however, q peculiar ex-
element takes the place of fear. This
excitement is not what could be
called bravery, for the men while I'M
der its influence are not always brave
as that word is generally understood.
1t is question as to whether you or
your foe shall exist, as to the survival
of the fttest. The sight of one man
being shot down in the front rank of
company, battalion OF regiment has
much more to do with the work and
action of the company, battalion or
regiment than the charge or commands
of the most gallant commanders. 1t
is an awful sight to witness the first
man fall, but that sight has more to
do with the happenings or result of
that engagement than everything else
combined. But few men can speak of
any recent experience in this respect,
for the reason that there has been no
recent experience, as battles have only
been fought on paper for the past ten
or more years. In 1885 I happened to
be in command of battalion of Mani
toba soldiery during the Riel rebel
lion, which was brief but fierce In
dian war while it lasted. On our az
rival at Batoche we found that Riel
and his Indian followers were strongly
intrenched in a convent building,
which they had seized. The officers
of our command held a consultation
as to how and where we would attack
the convent to dislodge the Indians.
About this time one OF the men of the
command who was sitting on the grass
pretty well in the view of the COM
mand fell dead, a rifle ball entering
his forehead. The brain oozing out
Of that small hole did more to infame
the command and to direct its terrible
force than anything thatwe could con-
ceive of. 1t was question of taking
the convent or allowing the occupants
to take our lives, and it was soon set
tle1, in favor of our lives and against
the Indians. The death of that one
man decided the contest. "-Washing-

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

It is worth thousand dollars year
to have the habit of looking on the
bright side of things.
The mind, like the lens, may be
concave and scatter brain power or
convex and concentrate it.
When the X rays are so perfected as
to reveal mans thought, there will
be radical change in thinking.
Giving an inspiration to another is
like filling lamp with oil, some time
the light will brighten a dark corner.
The man who denounces the exist
ing order of things, should speedily
suggest some means of improvement.
We do not easily discover our own
faults the clearest eyes do not see
the cheeks below nor the brow above.
The fear that our kind acts may
be received with ingratitude should
never deter us from performing such
acts.
It's pretty hard for some people to
distinguish between what they think
they know and what they know they
think.
The world is full of men with no
other possession than experience, who
would be glad to sell it for less than
they paid for it.
The trouble with mans conceiving
himself to be cone in thousand" is
his subsequent upwillingness to re-
gard the other $50 as working ma
jority.

Walking Erect.

Very few persons walk we'll. The
little girl of six summers, with her
pretty new dress on, walks as straight
and elegantly as ever she will. Her
little feet are thrown forward with an
elasticity peculiar to that age. The
little girl of thirteen begins to be
careless, bends her back forward, and
goes diving into the schoolroom as if
she were going to swim. At sixteen
she steps along with short steps,
striking her heels hard on the floor
with don't-care-for- anybody sort of
walk. At eighteen she thinks more
of gait, and tries to recall that of her
earlier childhood. The boy of eleven,
with his new thick boots, plants his
foot like soldier, and never knows
that his boots disturb anybody. MANY
children are taught at homo and at
school to walk on their toes. This
will do in sick-room, when one has
squeaking shoes, but it is not natural
or elegant. Put the heels down lightly
at first, and the toes last; this keeps
the body erect, instead of bending the
body forward as a person must bend
who walks on his toes. New York

YoRr&ff have been mighty good; Mis-

A gasp of establishment, almost Of

"We amt going" he concluded;
"we-uns are going to, stay right here
and act like white folks. That's all,
fellow neighbors. He s$u1 down in
silence and confusion.
The ncighbors were startled, but
they had undertaken to make this
party success; to man, they arose
to meet the new occasion. For the
first time they made the Dobsons well
come.
After the party was over, when the
last wagons were separating, Mrs. San
sen said, "Tm glad We did it, anyhow.
It's just made people of them Dob
sons. Him and Billy come over and
cut all them Canada thistles we
blamed them for"
"And mended our barbed wire
fence" added Mrs. Early, "and fixed
Mrs. Jenkins's plow"
"Say, Mrs. Barnard" laughed some
one, your party was big tizzle as a
'good-by."
Perhaps" she answered, softly,
''but I think it was o great success as
farewell to the Dobsons. Good
night, dear"
The well-satisfed neighbors passed
under the quiet stars, which looked
down peacefully, long after they had
vanished, on the lazy, vacillating
Platte, and today Dobsons, re-
generated by neighborly kindness and
made active by sympathy and ap-
proval, bear no resemblance to the
sluggish, unloyely stream. Youths

SONG

II lilies bloomed the whole year through
And roses never faded
II skies we're always bright and blue,
With no dark clouds Oershaded;
We ne'er had known the charms of spring,
The cool delight the shadows bring.
And should the sun ne'er set or rise,
Lost were eve's graces tender,
The moons soft light, the starry skies,
The morning glowing splendor
The melting hues of day and night
Would ne'er have mingled in the sight.
II life no care nor trouble had,
Sour were the wine of pleasure;
The heart that's gayest oft is sad;
lis labor sweetens leisure;
When smiles and tears in life's cup blend
The years flow happy to the end.

The child went back to the shabby
sod house with smiling eyes, and left
her father to his own devices. From
the force of long habit he sat down to
cultivate his thoughts, while the bugs
and the weeds waxed strong among
the potatoes. What he thought today
was something new and strange, and
not agreeable. Often his mind re-
verted to the coming party.
