Refinement.

The remains of the Confederate soldiers
named in the JOURNAL last week were
placed i'll neat, pretty vault i'll Rose
Hill cemetery, Cumberland, Tuesday
In addition those of Charles Wagner,
James O. Choen and IAN unknown "
disinterred at points below Cumberland,
were also placed i'll the vault.
The veterans reached the cemetery
about p. NJ, and, forming around the
vault, reverently listened to the Episcopal
burial service, read by Rev. James b.
Avirett, of Cumberland, and short but
very appropriate address by Rev. J. T.
Williams, of Keyser, w. Va.
The rain fell heavily during the eX-
ercises, marring considerably tho salts
faction all felt otherwise over the final
consummation of duty long contem-
plated.
Besides the score of old soldiers pres
ent, several ladies bravely encountered
the rain. Samuel J. Edwards, the big
Cumberland merchant, was present also,
and Lieut.. Harmon White, Union
veteran, ''fell in the ranks, marched
and assisted in the last honors to the
dead.
Last, not least-James E. Ratigan, of
1.-THE Tunnel" long an interested
watcher of the little neglected God S
acre" at Clarysville, was present and
contributed the following original poem,
entitled "The Unknown Dead" to the
occasion:
Beneath the ragged, struggling boughs
fthree old storm-swcpt trees,
Unmarked by slab or marble urn,
Six soldiers sleep at ease.
From clangor, din and noise of strife,
Three souls find sweet release
Beyond the fray and war of life.
A grand eternal peace.
1t was not theirs to win renown-
To brighten history's pages
To have their deeds go laundering down
Through all the coming ages;
No shaft or monumental stone
Is seen above the sod;
Their names, their lives, are all unknown
To all except their God.
No mothers Gears will mark the place
Where they in quiet sleep,
No sister, sweetheart, wife or friend,
Shall patient vigil keep;
No fathers means or brothers signs
Will stir their long, long rest;
And who shall Judge their sacrifice
But Him VINO knoweth best?
And He alone their cause shall try;
We only see part,
For while man judges by the act,
He judges by the heart.
This poem was written several years
ago when it was presumed that no record
Of the dead had been kept.
Among the veterans WAS Capt. Lake,
of Lexington, Ky, Il survivor of the
terrific mine explosion i'll front of Peters
burg, Va, which played havoc with the
division of Gen. William Malone
Capt. Lake then hailed from Charleston,
S. c., commanding company, all told.
Of "a. OF this number he, his first
lieutenant and three privates survived
the earthquake as captives. The re-
mainder-29, were buried alive. Thence
the five went to Fort Delaware, where he

Madrid, July 27.-Thc cabinet is con
States government for the cession of
the islands of Cibutu and Cayagen in
consideration of an indemnity of $780,
600. The ministry regards h propo-
sition f~av6rably, and negotiations for
a treaty of accord between the two.
governments are proceeding rapidly.
Washington, July 27.-Arrangements
have practically been completed for
the purchase from Spain by the United
States of the islands of Cibutu and
Cagayen which were left in Spanish
possession by the treaty Of Paris, al
though part of the Philippine archi-
pe1ago. The purchase price was not
made public. These islands lie with
out the boundaries of the Philippine
archipelago as laid down in the Paris
treaty of peace. After lengthy nego-
tiations, the United States determined
to buy out Spain's right in them. One
important consideration in these nego-
tiations was the desirability Of eXclud-
ing any European power from the pos
session of the islands for use as a ma
val station, which would constitute a
constant menace to the United States
sovereignty. There is reason to believe

The two islands are insignificant in
area and thinly populated, probobly
containing from 5000 to 5000 people in
all. Cibutu is a long narrow island,
fourteen miles in length by W across,
1t is surrounded by coral reefs, with
no anchorage 20 speak of. 1t lies only
four miles outside of southern bound
airy fixed by the treaty of Paris.
Cagayen is about the same area, fiv
miles by eight, with mountains reach,
ing in height LOO feet. 1t is the
largest of half a dom tinye islet:
known as the Cagayen Sulu group
and owing allegiance to the sultan o
Sulu. 1t schief products are tobacco

| Both of the islands are said to b
mainly valuable for their pearl ant
