AT WASHINGTON
Remains CT Col. Hawkins. Of the Tenth
Regiment Received In Sadness.
OTIS

WASHINGTON, Pa, August W.-When
the funeral train bearing the remains off
Col. Hawkins reached here, shortly after
8 o'clock, the entire population of the town
seemed to have gathered at the station to
do honor to the memory of their fellow
townsnan. 1t was a sad homecoming.
The crowd was a silent one, and the flag
at the Chestnut street station. where the
train stopped, was at half-mast.
The funeral escort was met at the sta
ton by Post 49, C. A. R.; the exmem-
bers of Company II, Tenth regiment, and
Camp 3l6, Sons of Veterans. A detach-
ment of Company c, Seventeenth regi-
ment, guarded the station platform and
prevented the thousands gathered there
from pressing too closely about the casket
as it was lifted from the train and placed
in the funeral car.
The procession moved up Chestnut street
to Main, and from there TO the former
residence of the Colonel. The streets We're
lined with people and ali the business
houses and residences were draped with
the national flag and Grape.
Tomorrow the body will be placed IN
vault to await the arrival of the Tenth
regiment from San Francisco, when mill
tary funeral will take place.

THE BOYCOTT
WIN b Turned Directly Upon Those
who Sought to Suppress it.

CLEVELAND, o., August 10.-The
street car strikers and their sympath-
izers propose to boycott every man who
attended the business mems meeting
held at the Chamber OF Commerce YES
terday for the purpose of adopting
measures to stamp out the boycott.
Petitions have been drawn up and
will at once be circulated, it is stated,
with a view of putting the plan into
prompt operation.
The petition sets forth at length that
inasmuch as the rich men propose to
crush the working men in their effort
to better their condition, therefore the
rich men should be boycotted.
Over $50 leading business men at
tended the Chamber of Commerce
meeting and adopted resolutions con-
demning the boycott and subscribing
a large sum to assist in ferriting out
street car dynamiters.
There was a marked increase in the
number of passengers carried on Big
Consolidated cars to-day.

An OPEN LETTER
From General Gomez Concerning the
Situation in Cuba.

From General Gomez Concerning the
Situation in Cuba.
HAVANA, August 10.-In an open
letter published to-day by La Lucha,
Gen. Maxine Gomez says he has re-
nlained in Cuba to fulfill a great duty.
Now that exaggerated and mistaken
notions are current regarding the state
of Cuba, he desires to explain the true
situation.
ut is absolutely false" he says, chat
great differences exist between the Gu
bans and Spaniards, or between the
Cubans and Americans, Or among the
Cubans themselves. On the contrary,
all is going well. An old institution,
the Cuban army, is being dissolved; the
people think. only of absolute indie
pendence; a national party, which
opens its arms to receive all without
during the war, is being formed. More
could not have been done in SO short a
time.
''The impatient population does not
realize that it is net the work of day
to organize society. There has been in
tervention by foreign nation for the
sake of peace and now the moment is
propitious. All who were previously
disunited should unite for the same
end, which is to form a council repre-
senting the soul Of Cuba. AS for the
suggestion that the intervening power
contemplates robbing the Cubans of
their own. do not believe it. Such a
runner is a calumny against any hon.
orable people. the Cuban, left poor by
the war should only dream of work.
Let us allow bygones to be bygones.
Let us see brother in every man in
Cuba"
With regard to himself, Gen. Gomez,
whose letter is addressed to his son,
Domingo, says the latter must not
trouble himself regarding his fathers
future and reputation. He declares
that he considers himself sufficiently
defended by his own record. by career
which he has always adjusted to the
rational order of events"
He describes himself as without am
billions of any kind that could disturb
my conscience and happy in the lot of
people who shall one day be them
selves happy"

WRANGEL, ALASKA, August 6, via.
Seattle, Washn., August 10.-The Stick
cen river steamer Strathcopa arrived
here to-day with thirty survivors Of the
Edmonton trail All the men came in
with the pack trains sent out from Tel
egraph Creek by the various trading
companies last Spring. The unfortun-
ates tell heartrending stories of hard
ships endured and comrades lost and
abandoned, and strongly denounce the
trading and transportation companies
as well as the Canadian officials and
newspapers that profusely advertised
this route as a feasible one to the KlOn-
dixie gold fields. To outward appear
ances these men certainly give evidence
of the awful suffering undergone since
leaving Edmonton, eighteen months
ago. Most of them are sickly looking,
with unkempt boards and greasy clothes
pictures of physical and financial
wrecks. Several have grown grey and
bear marks of scurvy. A few have just
enough money to reach Seattle or Vic
toria, but the most are without funds.
1t is admitted that there are-still
more than 100 men scattered along the
train between Laird. Post and the Petty
Banks and relief parties have been sent
out by the Hudson Bay Company, the
last being to Laird Post, where that
many were dying of scuryy and hun
ger.
Several cases CT starvation are re-
ported. About twenty miles above
Devils Portage, two unknown men were
found frozen to death last winter. A
man bearing the name OF Johnson from
New York, was fcand dead in tent
near the source OF the Mud river last
fall. This poor fellow had as covering

All along the route from Fort Simp-
son, on the Mckenzie river to Fort
Laird, men with frozen limbs were as
sisted while some to weak to help them
, selves, were necessarily left behind by
those more fortunate and able to strug-
gle home.

AN INPERTURBABLE MAN.
One Whom the Saloonist's Sarcasm Failed
Utterly to Reach.

One Whom the Saloonist's Sarcasm Failed
Utterly to Reach.
From the Washington Post.
The proprietor of one of Washing
tons swager saloons began to notice
a couple of weeks ago the mighty on
slaughts made at every noon hour upon
the substantial and rather inviting free
lunch spread out in his place for pa
irons. The man would stroll in just as
the lunch was ready, buy glass Of
beer at the bar and permit it to remain
standing there, and the prance into the
lunch like a whaler just back from a.
three year Imprisonment in Polar ice.
He covered the whole layout, from
pickles to baked beans, and he regard
ed other nibblers at the free lunch
with some austerity. When he got
through the lunch looked like the wind
up of Roman table orgy, and the pro-
prietor Of the place Waxed sarcastic
when the chap walked back to the bar
for his beer on two or three occasions.
Say, you overlooked that boiled
fish to-day" said the proprietor the
first time. You ought to be able to
get away with about half of that fish
mo, l don't care much for fish," re-
piled the man, smiling. Thanks, all
the same"
The next day, when the man had
wound up his attack upon the lunch
and made look like the galley of lum-
Der schooner after bad trip around
Hatteras, the proprietor said to him:
you didn't see that other pretzel on
the dish did your
why, did leave one?" inquired the
man. so l did," and he walked back
to the table and got it.
The proprietor had a job put upon
the man last Thursday noon. The free
lunch monopolist turned up, the boss of
the saloon went up to him and invited
him to sit down at one ofthe tables.
I've got a hot lunch to-day" he
said. It'll be in a minute"
The man sat down and then a wait
er came in from neighboring restaur-
ant, bearing tray loaded down with
the good things of dollar regular din
ner, from soup to nuts.
The man ate it slowly and with gusto,
the proprietor standing by to look on.
rs that mock turtle right?" asked
the proprietor. "How's the roast
lamb? Do you like those apple fritz
ters?" etc.
The man expressed his measurable
satisfaction in reply 10 these questions.
and the proprietor was waiting for him
to get ashamed or mad and go out.
When the man had finished cracking
the remainder of the English walnuts.
after expressing his dissatisfaction over
the comparative smallness OF the straw
berry shortcake that was on the tray
for desert, he wiped his mouth care
fully with his napkin, got up and
walked over TO where the prc2rietor
was standing.
That's pretty good lunch,'' he said.
"but they put out better'n that over at
Bal'mor'." and the Baltimore man
walked out.
Sarcasm is wasted On such ducks
said the proprietor. gIoomily, watching
the Baltimorean's retreating form
