GREEDY OBLIGES BLANCO.

Cervera'S report to General Blanco
anent his inglorious defeat was much
commented upon and revealed q peculiar
state OF affairs with regard to the inter-
ruption of cable communication between
Havana and Santiago. In connection with
the transmission of Cervera's report to
Madrid Blanco incidentally was compell-
ed. literally speaking, to kneel before Gem
eral Greedy, chief of the signal service
Cervera submitted his report to Colonel
James Allen, signal officer at Playa del
Este, for transmission to General Blanco
but in view of the desertion of the Eng
lish operators of their posts at Santiago
the Spanish captain general had no means
of telegraphing the report to Madrid. In
consequence he tapped the keys of the
telegraph in his Havana mansion and
called up Captain j. e. Sawyer press
censor at Key West, who has kept the
cable between Havana and Florida closed
since the destruction OF the Maine.
Blanco asked Captain Sawyer IL he
would kindly send Cervera's report on its
journey to Madrid, but the signal officer
replied II would be necessary to secure
General Greelv's consent. Blanco accord
lngly requested Captain Sawyer to trans
NIT dispatch to General Greedy, in
which he asked with much profundity for
the necessary permission. General Gree

quest and instructed Captain Sawyer to
send the report.
IT thought I would let Blanco send Ger
vera's report over our WIRE" remarked
General Greedy to the writer, "since 1t
would serve to clear up the confusion in
the minds of the Spanish officials about
the present whereabouts of the Spanish
fleet. And then. too, Cerveras report
contains nothing detrimental to the mil
itary or naval interests of the United
States"
The balloon service has been rendered
useless by perforation by Spanish bull
let, which allowed the gas to escape.
Colonel MaXfeld notified General Gree
ly of this fact today Gas tubes arrived in
New York this afternoon from London,
which will be promptly sent to Santiago.
In these tubes it is possible to compress
$50 cubic feet of hydrogen gas in the space
of one foot. Colonel Maxfield has a gem
orator. and when the tubes reach him the
balloon service will again be in operation.

AS the tourist sauntcrs along the
road leading away from Papeete, he
passes numerous thatched rooted hab;-
tations, wherein the feasting is peren-
nial; in constant succession, glimpses
of tropical forests and life attract his
attention. Banana and bread fruit
trees, the staff of life of the Pacific,
are seen in proflsion; also guaras,

on native village; and among human
haunts, there is nothing more peacca-

to the attention of the visitor.
Leaving the road and passing along
any of the paths leading up into the
thickly wooded canon, one is strongly
impressed by the beauty and freshness
of the surroundings. Emerging from
this leafy bower, deliciously cool
brook comes into view, murmuring
softly as it winds its way by the close
underbrush, dancing in the warm sun
as it flows into the open, then ripping
away into the distance of refreshing
green palms, and disappearing into
their depths.
1t is all like u tlelici,u MS dream: but

are impressionist, and will submit

happy silence and contentful ease.

EARLY FOX HUNTING.
TIE FIRST CHASE FOR REYNARD !
AMERICA WAS IN QUEEN ANNE
EVERY HOMESTEAD HAD
ITS HOT NDS.

The Omtny contains an article on
"The Beginnings of Fox Hunting in
America" written by Hanson Hiss, Il
Baltimore newspaper man. 1t is es-
pecially interesting, as the sport origi-
mated in this State, and that it has
been continued by lovers of the chase
in the several clubs now in Maryland.
The first fox hunt in America, Of
which any record has come down to us,
took place in Queen Anne county about
1850. From that time on, no Mary
land homestead was complete without
its pack of hounds and its race course.
There was always Il slave whose sole
duty it was to "tend hounds" and woe
be unto him if any injury bcfella favor
ite hound. Summary and severe pun
ishment was always the penalty of his
carcles,ncss or neglect. Writers of
the day tell us that the dogs were al
lowed far more freedom than the slaves,
and that the planters porch was al
ways crowded with yelping hounds,
awaiting the masters horn sound
,ount and away" or watching an
opportunity to see the quartermaster S
door open that they might steal some
thing.
The hounds of those days were very
unlike the carefully bred and carefully
groomcd and fed hunters ofthe mother
country, or of the Maryland of to-day.
At that time the fox hound needed
great toughness and endurance. and
these requisites were obtained 10y cross

The only fox hunted in thoS" days
was the gray one, an animal very diff
ferent in many respects from his red
brother OF England. As the State was
settled almost entirely by the English
it was more like great English shire
than Il colony in the New World, and
but for the general roughness of the
country. it might easily have been
mistaken for one As the settlers ar
rived here they brought with them
many local attachments, and not the
least of these was their tondncss for
hunting the red fox. They could not
become accustomed to his gray brother.
1t is to this fact that we owe fox hunt

in England.

NO FRIEND LIKE THE OLD
FRIEND.

No FIJI END LIZA Il IL II oLh
FRIEND.
BY WILLIAM wALsTEIN GORDAN.
There is no friend like the old friend to make the
fond heart bleed
When he meets you with >upercllious air,
And his glancng eye assures you that he knows
you're lone to seed,
And tits more use for him TO treat you fair.
Oh, his fine affected tone
AS he talks with you alone,
And the patroniz ng cadence of his vo:e,.
For the fool can scarce construe
The subjective strength in you,
Or lie would not so pretentousy rejoice.
There is no friend like the old friend to max, the
fond heart sad,
As he turns away his head to see you no:
Forgetting all the favOrs from your hands that he
has had,
'Tis so rich to cut you dead upon the spot.
Oh, his blank and stony glare,
Shot straight up into the air,
And the dignitied demeanor of his back
All, fool! beyond the days
Of his hypocritc praise,
Now dark Nemesis to call upon his track!
There is no friend like the old friend to make the
heart rejoice
When he grabs your toil-hard hand and hugs it
tight.
The old ring and the true ring in his well remem-
bered voice,
While his eyes are filled with manifest delight;
For he greets you with shout.
Stimulation all left out,
A hearty friend, life long friend, pure gold:
And lie holds you long and late
With force as strong fate
The bond Of faithful friendship grand and old.
There is no friend like the old friend to drive dull
care away.
To lift the laden breast and make 1t stout
Like burst of summer sunshine his presence gladS
the day,
And puts the DEVILS blue to utter rOut.
For what's the odds to him
If your prospects yet are dim,
And the binding of your vest is worn md frayed:
Like a rock, he stands by you
With friendship warm and true
With faithful sense OF honor unbetrayei.
