In.t Whnt Wna Wanted.

1t is related Of Hibernian parade
in Chicopee that one of the officers
of the day telephoned an order to a
Holyoke stable for 10 white horses for
the use of marshals, aids, etc. The
liverymen filed the order, but it some
what taxed their resources to find so
many white horses. Judge of their
surprise day before the parade to re-
ceive an order for five more white
horses.
The liverymen deal quite extensively
in horses and had but that day receiv-
ed a consignment of young and IN
tried animals. Consequently they were
doubtful about sending any of them
to take part in the parade. They sent
word to Chicopee that it would be i'm
possible to fill the second order, as
they had nothing but green horses on
hand"
Instantly back came word, "We'n
take the green horses = all you've
got"-Springfeld Homestead.

At one time he wanted to have an

Our fathers to their graves have gone.
Their strife is past-their triumph won.
But sterner trials wait the race
Which rises in their honored place
mortal warfare with the crime
And folly Of an evil time.
So let it be. In Gods own might
We grid US for the coming fight,
And, strong in him whose cause is ours,
In conflict with unholy powers,
We grasp the weapons he has given
The light and trust and love of heaven.

letter received at the war department
from General Lawton refutes the recent
allegations made in dispatches from Ma

General Lawton has been quoted time and
again as saying that we could not put
down the insurrection without an army
of 100000 men, and that even then the
campaign must be one Of many months,
In the letter which General Lawton has
written to an officer in the war depart.

position to the authority Of the United
States is now in sight. We are long way
from home and very little news reaches
U.S. We have a rumor, however, that
there is new secretary of war;"
This letter from General Lawton agrees
substantially with the official dispatches
from General Otis of about the same date.
1t convinces officials of the war depart.
ment that General Lawton, and also Gen.
eials Macarthur, Wheaton and Bates, are
working in perfect harmony with General
Otis, and that the governor generals op-
timistic dispatches have been based upou
the reports he received from his COM
manders in the field.
1t is also said that since Secretary Root
has had time to 60 over the official re.
ports OF General Otis he has become an
enthusiastic admirer of the general, and
has absolute confidence in his ability to
conduct the Philippine campaign without
advices from Washington.

the last five days. The Yaquis burned

Volunteers continue to arrive daily in
columns of 100 or more, and a heavily
guarded pack train of mules is kept busy
conveying new guns and ammunition from
the launches to Medano and Lorin. Many
Of the natives who occupy huts near the
edge of the town have become so alarmed
that they carry their beds near the heart
of the Puebla to pass the night. General
Luis Torres has suspended hostilities until
October, when cooler weather will have
set in. and troops will be better able to
take care of themselves. BY that time
there will be about 5000 more soldiers In
the field.

after 9 o'clock tonight fire broke out in
the planning mill of George w. Thomson
on Mission street, near Fremont, and in a
few minutes the entire place was a mass
Of flames. For time 1t looked as II a
great confagration would follow the out
burst but the prompt arrival Of almost
the entire fire department prevented such
q catastrophe. The mill occupies nearly a
quarter of block and this section was en-
tirely destroyed. The warehouse of Hol-
brooke Merritt & Stetson, hardware mer-
chants, and the Gorham Rubber Company
adjoining were badly scorched. Charles
c. Whitney's iron works was destroyed
as were one or two other small concerns.
The entire loss will hardly reach $4,000
Two tiremen, Collins and Doheny of En-
gine No. II, were injured by being caught
under a section of roof as it fell.
