THE CASE OF NEELY.
His Speedy Removal TO Havana for
Trial Is Anticipated.

Washington, June 23.-It is UNDER
stood here that the United States at
torney at New York will take action
within the next day or two looking
to the prompt removal of Neely, the
alleged embezzler of Cuban postal
funds, to Havana for trial. Judge
Lacombe, before whom the case will
be brought, expects to leave New
York on July ? and il is his wish that
the matter be disposed of before his
departure.
Some days ago the government sent
to Havana for copies of papers want
ed ill the case; also for a certified
copy of Article 401 of the old Spanish
Cuban laws against the crime of en-
bezzlement. These papers have been
received and forwarded to United
States Attorney Burnett, who will
prosecute the case.
There are two indictments against
Neely, one for violation of Article
401 of the Spanish-Cuban laws and
the other is under sections of the
Cuban postal code. The former case
is said TO be the stronger and it is
probable that he will be tried under
the Indictment for violating Article
1D1

promptly and sternly suppressed. But
the senior captain at their head well
knew the excitement tingling in the
nerves of that long-suffering line, and
only smiled and nodded sympathy.
He saw, too, that Gray was quivering
with pent-up feeling, as the boy halted
short, saluted. and. striving to steady
his eager voice, said:
Captain. the colonel directs that
YOU open sharp fire on the woods in
your front and occupy the enemy there
He is about to charge with the Third
battalion and drive them out of the
trenches we've located over yonder;"
and Billy pointed eagerly to the left
front-the southeast.
The captains grizzled face took on a
look of keen disappointment. You
mean we've got to stay here and see
you fellows go in"
"Only for a few minutes, sir. The
colonel says that for you to charge be-
fore he's got onto their flank would cost
too many men. You'll get the word as
soon as he's got the works"

almost epigrammatic. Hullo! You

fierce battle with a skillful foe, some
scene in which he could compel her re-

smarting and stung when at last that
opportunity came.
Long will Manila remember the
night, It followed close upon the heels
of warnings that for weeks held every
officer and man to his post of duty.
Day after day the strain increased.
The insurgents, crowdins upon our out
posts in front of Santa Mesa on the
north and of Santa Ana on the south
side of the Pasig, had heaped insult and
threats upon our silent sentries, com

HIS SECRET.

The good man lay, all white and still,
Under the pail of fragrant flowers
and the neighbors wondered about the
will
And talked of the dead mans gifts and
powers,
with many a doleful shake of the head
Recounting the kind, wise words he said,
That had helped so many to climb life's
hill.
Said one: HE never would press debt
That he held against the needy or poor
Said another: His table was always SET
For the hungry stranger who passeu the
door"
While yet another, with bated breath
Told of the gentle and peaceful! dcath'
With never a sign of jar or fret
And each one asked what was the gift
That made his life so full OF peace,
While others burdens were hard to hit,
And death seemed only strange sur
cease
From toilsome labor and constant strain
of hopeless effort and helpless pain,
With only the hope of the shroud's white
shift?
Then one whose voice was soft and low,
Rose up and spoke to the funeral guests:
"Friends and neghbors of long ago,
We are heritors all of his bequests.
Not from duty his deeds were done,
Not for Heaven his race was run;
This is the secret-he loved men so"

Marginal Notes.

The descendant of New England
Puritan divine has in his possession an
old sermon written by his ancestor
which shows that the preacher did not
trust entirely to the impulses of the
moment when delivering his discourses.
The manuscript is written in a strange,
grabbed hand, and plentifully besprink-
led with marginal references. Read
slowly here" the minister admonishes
himself in one spot, and ITO be given
out very loud and clear" is the sugges-
ton for another passage. Hurry lit
tie, with fire." he wrote in several places.
The most emphatic and important part
of the whole sermon is Indicated by a
Northumberland marginal note After
hearing stories of this sanity olt-time
preacher, it is amusing to know that he
deemed it wise and even necessary at
the climax Of his eloquence to yell like
one possessed. ."-Youth's COMPANION

their teeth and swore as they crouched
or lay full length along the roadside,
peering through the filmy veil that
drifted slowly across their front-the
smoke from the Springfelds of the vol
unteers. To lie there longer with the
bullets buzzing close overhead or bit
ing deep into the low embanliment,
sometimes tearing singing path
through human flesh and bone, was
adding to the nerve strain of the hours
gone by. To rush headlong across that
intervening open space, through deep
and muddy pools and stagnant ditch,
and hurl themselves upon the lurking
enemy in the bamboo copse beyond,
had been the ardent longing of the line
since daylight came to illumine the field
before them. Yet stern orders with
held: Defend, bu do not advance, said
the generals message; and the whisper
went along from man to man: "mere
is trouble in town behind us, and the
chief may need us there"
But, as eight o'clock passed with no
word of uprising in the rear, and the
cheering over toward Santa Ana grew
loud and louder, the nerve strain upon
the -teenth became well-nigh intolera-
BILE. For Gods sake, can't we be doing
something instead of lying here firing
into a hornets nest?" was the murmur
that arose in more than one company
along the impatient line; and the gruff
voices of veteran sergeants could be
heard ordering silence, while, moving

words. eve won't have to stand this
forever. You'll soon get your chance"
And presently it came. The cheer
ing that had died away, far over to the
left beyond the wooded knolls that sur
rounded Singalon and Block House 12.
was suddenly taken up nearer at hand.
Then crashing volleys sounded along
the narrow roadway toward the east,
and a bugle rang out shrill and clear
above the noise of battle; and then
closer still, though unseen in the gloom
of the dense thicket in which they lay,
the men of the Second battalion, strung
along a Filipino trail that led away to
the rice fields, swung their big straw
hats and yelled for joy. A young Of
ficer, his eyes flashing, his face flush
ing with excitement, came bounding
out from the grove at the left of the
crouching line and made straight to
where the veteran battalion command
er knelt in rear of his center. 1t was
Billy Gray, adjutant of the Third bat
talon, acting that day as adjutant to
the regimental commander. The bull
let's whistled by his head as he darted
springingly along; and in their JOY
at sight of him even old hands forgot
the reserve of the regular service and
some man shouted: Now we're OFF,"
and the popular query: whats the
matter with Lieut.. Gray?"
