not refrain, however. from believing
that the official letter published i'll
local papers on last Sunday and Mon
day does not voice the sentiment of a
great number, of the most prominent
members of the Post.
At this time 1t might be we'll to read
the resolutions passed by Buckley
Post and signed by very prominent
committee, on June 3rd, 1895. 1t is as
follows:
"At regular meeting Of Buckley
Post, No. II, G.. A. r., department of
Ohio, held the 31st day of May, 1895,
the Memorial committee of said Post,
was instructed to prepare in proper
form and convey to Captain Paul Il.
Werner, the sense of satisfaction felt
by the Post and committee, for his
services as chief marshal of the Nc
mortal day parade.
"The committee takes great pleasure
in saying that Captain Werner dis
played fine military and executive
ability in the performance of his du-
ties; that owing to his excellent seiec-
tion of aides and discipline, the parade
was grand success, and the whole
affair conceived and carried out IN an
eminently satisfactory manner to the
Grand Army and citizens, VINO either
participated iD, or witnessed the exer-
cises and we hereby cordially extend
and convey 10 Captain Werner our
wai,mcst and very sincercst thanks for
his services so generously and efficient
ly given TO make the day one long to be
remembered and appreciated by the
citizens of Akron.

The Twenty ninth infantry was re-
cruited at Fort Mcpherson, Atlanta,
Ga. Capt Shields was lieutenant.col-
onel of the Second Mississippi during
the Spanish war. He was made cap
tain in the Twenty infantry. July
8, 1899. He was resident of Ma
tchez, Miss, where his wife now re.
sides.
The scene of this latest reverse is
a small island lying due south of tho
southern coast of Luzon and about 800
miles from Manila. Martinique is
about twenty-four miles in diameter
and was garrisoned by two small de-
tachments of United States troops. One
of these was at Boag, on the west coast
of the island and the other was at
Santa Cruz, the principal part, on tho
north side. Capt. Shields appears to
have started from Santa Cruz on a
gunboat for Torrijos, a small coast
port, and it is inferred that the boat,
as well as the body of troops under
that officer, has been captured, for the
dispatch makes no reference to its
return.

here. AS chairman OF the superintend-
ents' association, embracing the min

before the individual operators the ba-

miners may be settled. Before going
to ,his meeting he admitted that it
was proposed to give a 10 per cent in
crease on all the wage demands of the
miners. 1t is learned that the basis
is not altogether agreeable to the ind!-

gard it as being unequal, and they will
ask of the coal-carryIng railroads

Paris, Oct 1.-The letter said to
nave been written by Capt. Dreyfus to
M. Trarieux, former minister of JUS
tice. in which he announces his in
tention of still seeking legal revis-
ion of his trial. has been seized on by
the nationalists and royalist newspa-
pers as means of annoying the gov
eminent. They violently accuse the
present government Of encouraging
the Dreyfus agitation. The Presse
says that this letter proves that the
Dreyfusards are still agitating and
persist in keeping alive the hatreds
and discords of recent years. Thus
far the controversy has been entirely
one sided The i-ministerialists
are all alone in the battlefield. With
every possible taunt they urge the re-
publicans to take up arms and renew
the fight that hitherto has issued in
success for the nationalists alone.
