A Soldiers Prayer.

Our Father who art in Washing
ton, Sammy be thy name. Thy
will be done in the fourth Texas,
as it is in other regiments. Give
us this day our daily rations of
hardtack; sour belly, coffee and
beans; aud forgive all our officers
for we will not forgive them, and
lead us-not into Cuba, but deliver
us from the Spaniards, for thine is
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines forever and ever Amen,
We thank thee today, Uncle Sam
that thou hast brought US to this
land OF brush and stone; that we
may learn to be good soldiers Of the
Uuited States, and We thank thee
that thou hast issued orders COM
oelling US to get out in the rain and
to set up until eleven o'clock to
answer roll call, and, oh, Uncle
Sam, we thank thee that thou hast
not sent us to Cuba, but kept us
here in this fever stricken camp for
the purpose of cleaning up land for
the San Antonio Land Improve
ment company, and we most heart
lily thank thee that thou hast given
us enough lumber so that we might
build our little shanties, even
though we had to buy the,feors
ourselves, and the dear little Sibley
stoves you gave us which throw SO
much heat-through the chimney.
Thou hast been sorely tried in thy
recent troubles with Spain, and it
has cost thee several thousand dol
lars to pay the peace commission,
ers at Paris, and thou hast not the
change to spare to properly feed
and clothe us-thy poor soldiers
who we're willing to lay down our
lives in defense of thy country; and
Uncle Sam, we would ask thee to
thank the good people of Texar-
kama, Texas, for the turkeys and
other good things they sent us for
Thanksgiving and Christmas din
hers. Thou knowest that they
were the first and only square
meals that we have had since we
became thy humble servants; and
good Uncle Sam, thou knowest
that if we are mustered out and
thee should need us agaiu, we
would enlist at the first call, for
thou knowest we are all good cti-
zens of thy most noble country,
even governor Sayers would not
give us chance to vote for fear
he would not be elected; and we
would ask that thou wouldst look
after our rations and see that the
quartermaster dost give us all thou
dost allow US, that we may not be
able to drill like good soldiers; and
we ask thee that thou wouIdst is
sue few more candles that we
may not be compelled to buy them
or wander around camp in utter
darkness, and if thou wilt kindly
grant these favors, we will remem-
Der the maine forever and ever.
Amen.

We Have Not Dlslodged the Enemy
From the Jungles Yet.

Manila Feb. 19-The California
volunteers abandoned Guadalupe

Heat is intense. Under present
conditions it is impossible to pro-

Legality OF Legislative Ce.sion Called
Into Question.
Topeka, Kan, January 17.-At.
torney General A. A. Goddard has
prepared a decision holding that
the special session of the Legisla-
ture called by Governor Leedy
was illegal and all laws passed at
that session void.
He holds that special session
If the Legislature is legal only
when neceseita,eh by some extra
ordinary state Of affairs and that
there WAS no extraordinary reason
for Governor Leedy calling the
Legislature together.
The pay of many of the mem
bers Will be thus tied up. Man

the legality of the special session

CHINA AND TIE FOURTH ESTATE.

1t may Interest members of the
fourth estate and incidentally the
general public to learn that q
sweeping press law has just been
proclaimed for China by the
Dowager Empress, as follows:
"Siuce newspapers only serve to
stir up the masses aud to over
throw the existing order of things
and since newspaper writer's are
the dregs of the literary class the
continuance of such dangerous
implements can result in no good.
We hereby order therefore the
complete suppression and cessa
ton OF all newspapers that have
hitherto appeared in the EN- ire.
All publishers and editors will be
arrested and punished with the
utmost severity OF the law" This
decree affected forty-six Chinese
newspapers. The Dowager
Duchess is evidently shot stuff"
and has let loose the Walls of her
wrath, in scathing vernacular on
the heads of a long suffering class.
Evidently the radical element has
been getting in its work and the
old lady has attempted to stop the
march of progress, On the same
lines as Mrs. Malaprop of sacred
memory thought to stem the ocean
tide with the aid of a broom.

.CUBANS BOYCOTT SPANISH
Object 10 the Collection Of Taxes by
Bank Of Spain.
Also Trying to Gust Spanish Newspapers
CubanS Believe Insurgents Can be Mustered
Out II Pay Is Advanced.

New York, Jan. ia dispatch
to the Tribune from Havana says:
The Cubans are preparing a pro
test against the Spanish Bank of
Cuba collecting taxes. The i'm
preston still prevails among them
that the bank is to collect taxes to
January 1st, which were levied
under Spanish sovereignty. In
the absence of an official state
ment to the contrary, both Spani
ards and Cubaus b, lieve that the
bank will attempt to make these
collections and secure its percent
age. The agitation is pro
nounccd.
The Cuban assembly Of the in
surgent army is to recouvepe
Tuesday at Marisnso. It's ses
sions were adjourned in Decem-
Der TO await the result OF the work
of the commission which went to
Washington, headed by Calixto
Garcia. Tue purpose OF that
commission was to urge that
the United States make an
advance to pay the insnrg-nts aud
compensate itself out of the pros.
pective customs receipts.
Word has come from Washing
ton that some such arrangement
will b. sde but on what authori.
ty is not known. The Cuban MS
sembly Processes ability to dis
band the insurgent army and Sc
cure the return Of the insurgents
to their homes in the country if
portion o. their pay is advanced.
Pubic sentiment fsvors the pro-
position as means of early tran
quility. The Spanish merchants
want it in ord,r to end uncertain
iy. The assembly also intends TO
ask the presence of General Max
imo Gomez TO advise regard to
these aud other matters.
A boycott war is raging among
the Havana newspapers. The
Cuban journals are trying to GUST
the former organ of Spanish opin-
ion. For thu. purpose they g t
meeiing- called TO denonnce th.ir
rivals. The affair is not of much
nee, except to the news
papers concerned In it.
Not much has yet been done to-
ward the establishment of the
Havana nava! station and Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy Allen
will have a chance to 10 k into the
details. The proposition of es alb
fishing a smaller station at Nipe
on the north coast in thu eastern

of Foreign Affairs, when Minister
Sewall read the proclamation of an

the determined attitude of Mr.. Da-

que can be- explained in a few words.
There is large amount of money
in the Treasury, available for such
purposes as are set forth in the last
appropriation bill passed by the last
Legislature. Mr.. Damon, the Min.
lister of Finance, looked forward
realizing that emergencies might
arise, which would force him to use
the greatest economy to carry the
Government safely to the bridge
where he eventually has to hand
over his keys and accounts to Uncle
Sam. In this policy he found the
support of the conservative tax
payers, and he still holds the keys
as light as he considers it necessary
