James !. Corkhiu Of company E, Kansas 10th regiment, writes to the Alan (Kss.) Enterprise this account Of how 1t happened that the flaS o9 the 20th Kansas was the first to float over Malolos, the inSurgen: capital:
 ''we were halted in the shade just outside the city when Col. unston came ga;lopiRg down the line and told our commander that the general want- ed a few men to advance ahesd of the lines to reeonnoiter. Lieut.. ball and sixteen men from eompeny were chosen, your correspondent happening to be one of the lucky number. We cautiously advanced into the outskirts of the town and wended our way up Main street (altnough We didn't then know 1t was Main street, keeping aa much as possible under cover of the bamboo shacks. We soon discovered that the negroes had breastWorks thrown across the street and in front Of the large Catholic church. Almost ad the same time they saw US and a volIey of Mausers flew over our heads.
 We'll said Col. Funston, that's all the general wanted to know but after be he'd a ltgsle eonfab witn Ll~-- Ball they decided on 6 closer acquaintance with OUT dl1sky friends. It's 8 little risky, out think we can do It. said Col. Funston. Come on, boys, let's get them out of there
 "So away we went, up the street like whdrlwind, yelling and shooting and making racket enough to scare a whole army. Little Col. Funston. with his revolver in one hand, was waving his hat in the other and yelling; Give it to them, boys! Give it to them! : guess lhe negroes thought that bis satanic majesty was indeed after them or that the whole American army was upon them, for, after firing a couple of volleys at us they turned and ran as I never saw any one run before. On through the public square we chased them and clear to the other side of the town.
 Thus it was that sixteen Kansas boys, led by our brave colonel and a daring second lieutenant. drove the in- aurgents out of their capital city.
 An hour later, when we returned, we found that the army had poured in and filled the town and our regiment was sfttirg in the shade of Aguinaldo's doorstep Toefore leaving the insur- gents 4..1 F .cceeded in se.tiug ire to the large church, which was now Tn flames. Mary of the Chinese remained in the town. and when our little squad dashed into the public square 1t was amusing to see the sChenomen' crawl ing out of windows and cellars and from under bridges, each carrying . little white flag and shouting: 'Anego. Amsgo! Cher amego!"

 The cashier of a thriving bank in A pig western town was doing the talk ing.
 When l began my career in the banking business.p he said. ''it was in an old established bank in an Ohio city to which my father had been elected president. We didn't live in the town until his election, and moved there when he took charge. After about six Daonths' experience I was made assistant receiving teller, and be- tween that and my youth, and the fact that my father was president, I guess was about four sizes too large for the earth. But got over it, and one day when there was Hull and the re- ceiYlng teller had gone across the street to look after a check that he had taken l popped up to the window and took my first lesson. A rough looking old fellow came that thought was farmer from Hayville. He came straight for me, and said he wanted to deposit some money. It wasn't my business to undertake a new customer. but thought knew it all, and began to talk to him. He said that he wanted to deposit a cent that day. but had more. Well. I gave him the ha ha then and there, and told him to run around to the Dime Savings bank and become depositor on the installment plan. l also said some more funny things, and after I had had all the fun there was, he said that while he wish ed to deposit only a cent that day. hs would put in two cents next day. and four next, and so on for four weeks. I gave him the laugh again, and told him we really couldn't do small busi- ness like that, and he must be a good boy and run along to the penny ante bank around the corner. Then he went away, and I was still laughing when the receiving teller came back.
 II told him what was making me smile, and lie looked at me kind ot funny, thought, and went to figuring on sheet of paper without further comment. Presently he handed the paper over to me. That old fellow he said, is millionaire, whose bust, ness we have been after sor year. Those figures will show you that wbat you consider is a penny ante bank business would have amounted tc something over $210,00c in the four weeks. or 24 banking days turing which he wished to deposit his money. He's a crank. but he's got the cash. all the same, and we want him. Just what effect your able funny business has had upon him I can't say, but suppose l you go and talk to your father about It. or do you want me to report it to the cashier and let. him see the president?
 T had cold chills and collapse and a lot more things during the next five minutes, and then 1 mustered LID cenr- l age and went to my father with the story. He promptly reduced me to the ranks and cut my salary 10 per cent and l learned whole lot in the next six months, by which time we had the old fellow all right, and was made assistant again lut I wasn't the same l kind of one kY pnnN d gal

Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers and the now famous Utah battery.
 To divert the monotony of long voyage the yet untrained soldiers in- dulged in all sorts of games andr pranks during the intervals between drill and school.
 The officers were not all inclined to stand upon military dignity, and so when the privates had exhausted each others good nature they dragged ia the .4noncems, who in turn dragged the commissioned officers into the va rious traps the skylarkefs set for each other.
 Says an ex-high= private who took the voyage in question: Some of the boys were gathered together on the forward deck; quietly they passed the word back that so and so was wanted Coming forward one of the group would beckon to him mysterlously and as he stopped to lis- ten 'whack' would come tremendous blow from a barrel staye from some unknown source behind him.
 After a yell of laughter had sub. sided he would be handed the stave and given the privilege of naming the next victim.
 This happened in turn to private. corporal. sergeant, lieutenant. captain and major, and the boldest held their breath as the major, with a grim smile, said:
 Private Smith, present my eompli- ments to the colonel and tell him that Maj. - respectfully desires his pres ence forward
 The colonel came. stopped over. re- eeiyed his whaek, strengthened up, and to tue delight of the boys shouted:
 Tell the chaplain to come forward at once.

to make his proposed international
peace conference at least something of
success.
Although Russian officialdom, from
the throne down to the rural police of
fee, has always denouHced the press
as an agency of evil, yet 1t recognizes
its power, and the emperor has not
disdained to make confidant of Will
liam T. Stead, the London editor who
few years ago achieved considerable
fame, or notoriety, for exposing the
vices of high British society.
To Mr.. Stead the czar confided that
after studying nineteenth century civ
ilization, he has found it not entirely
good. He sees nations engaged in seiz-
ing, or trying to seize, all territory not
yet occupied by European powers, and,
looking at the results, discovers them
TO be unsatisfactory.
For the native races what does i'm
perial expansion mean?" asks the
czar; and then answers his own ques-
tion as follows: TOO often opium, all
cohol and all manner of foul diseases;
n great gulf between the governed and
those who rule; and crushing taxation
upon the natives for the blessings of
this civilization. And for the nations
who seize it means continual increase
OF suspicion, jealousy and rivalry; the
keeping up of fleets and armies in or
der to take part in scramble with the
world, with the result that the army
and navy are swallowing up more and
more millions that should be used for
the welfare of the people and the adj
vancement of the world"
Speaking of the social effects of this
state of affairs, the czar is inclined TO
think that ION top are a few rich and
comfortable. Down below, with. an
ever-increasing pressure of taxes for
armaments, is the great mass of poor
people whose position is not good.
There is an ever-increasing multitude
of those below, with their broOding dis
content 'ripening into socialism and de-
veloping into all kinds of anarchy. We
have at the present time arrived at the
stage when our best manhood is in the
army, So much is this the case that
the whole of the troops in European
countries cannot be modified without
dislocatlng the whole social fabric.
Moreover, war has become so expensive
that no state can stand the strain of

protracted war without having to look
bankruptcy in the face, and We are so
perfecting our modern weapons of de-
struction that no army can go into the
field without losing so large proper
tion of its officers that when the war
is over, even if that army be victorious,
the war win have inflicted irreparable
loss on the country. What with discon-
nection caused by mobilizing; what
with an empty exchequer; what with
decimated ranks of leading and govern
ing men, l see nothing before any ma
tion but a terrible heritage of revolu-
tionary anarchy"
The sermon which Emperor Nicholas
has given to the world through Mr.
Stead is an able one, full of truth and
worthy OF serious consideration.
Probably on account of The lignified
wording of the imperial message it has
been received well in all the capitals
of Europe, but more especially in Paris

20 skirmishes with the approaching re-
eIforcements.
Gen. Garcia was amazed when Shafter
refused to give him reenforcenents to
carry out his well laid plans. Shafter
said that he wanted all the Spaniards in
the province to get into Santiago so that
he might capture them all at once. That
was before the assault of July /, when
Shafter suffered serious repulse. Then
he directed Gen. Garcia to prevent fur
ther Spanish accessions, but 1t was too
late. Skaters principal blunder at
Santiago was his first blunder, in chang
ing Garcia's plans and taking the hard
est possible route for his soldiers.
Although Gen. Garcia communicated
his views with dignity, and received re.
Dukes and contumely with suavity, he
knew that he was right, and that
Shafter was wrong; but he obeyed or
ders just the same, and fought with his
men by night and by day until the city
was captured by the brute, courage of
the soldiers themselves, without orders
from the sick general who accompanied
the Fifth corps, and who telegraphed
his defeat on Sunday, July 3, At that
very time, Gen. Garcia and Gen. Wheel
er were on the firing line, declaring
that they would succeed. Gen. Garcia
and Gen. Wheeler were the real heroes
there in active command.
Until the close of the campaign Gen.
Garcia continued to advance until his
right rested upon the bay, and he Also
sent out strong detachments TO cover
roads leading from Holguin and other
Spanish garrisons TO Santiago. Upon
the surrender of the city of Santiago,
Gen. Garcia, commanding the Cuban
forces, was debarred from entrance
into the city, and from any participa-
tion in the enjoyment of the honors
or fruits of the victory.
Thereupon Gen. Garcia withdrew
from association with Shafter, because
his own services and the services of the
men under his command were, as he
thought, rewarded with lack of appre-
citation. SMITH d. FRY.

peace congress is Turkey. AbduEHam-
id is not fool. He knows that Russia
has no love for the Ottoman realm, and
so declines TO put his head in the
spring trap, If he is TO be strangled, he
would prefer a bold fight to being
caught with bit of tritling bait. He
probably labors under The impression
and it is not an injudicious one,
either-that disarmament in his case
would mean annihiation. Nothing, in
fact, can prolong Turkish rule except
the maintenance Of Il strong army, and
as long as the present administration
reigns at Stamboul, bearish peace pro-
posals will be received for what they
may be worth.
The people of the United States are
earnest advocates of universal disarma-
ment, and our government will add
it's voice to the cars appeal for peace.
And SO will all the small countries of
Europe-Sweden. Norway, Denmark,
Holland. Belgium, Spain and Portugal
whose safety depends upon treaties
made by and between their more pow
erful neighbors.
But in spite of this sympathetic feel
ing the st. PcNSssburg peace congress
is destined TO be II failure, simply be-
cause not one OF the great powers will
take the initiatlEe in the disarmament
movement. Had the czar been truly
honest in his pacific desires he would
have reduced his own army instead of
increasing it and centralizing 1t in To-
calities where it must be viewed as a
menace by other nations. +
Universal disarmament will not be
accomplished by a congress of diplo-
mats or doctrinaires. But it is bound
to be the logical outcome of the next
greatwar when, to use the cars words,
"even the victor will have learned that
it has inflicted irreparable loss on his
country"
Truth sometimes has to be pounded
into nations as well as individuals, and
in the matter of universal disarmament
the rod will prove a more effective
preacher than imperial platitudes. q
