Rnn onr Cuban nloclsade.

Manuel Deschamps, who, as captain
of the Monserrat, twice ran the block
ade of the Island of Cuba by the Am
erican feet during the Hispano-Ameri-
can war, and who is now in this city,
speaks of his achievements modestly
and with the simplicity of brave sea-
man, says the Mexican Herald.
Talking to a reporter, he said: "The
general manager of the Spanish Trans
Atlantic company chose me to COM
mand the Monserrat in order to convey
to Cuba 400 soldiers, a quantity of am
munition and 100000 for the needs
of the forces operating in the island.
I accepted with pleasure, being not
only anxious to fulfil my duty toward
the company, but also to do something
for my country in her hour of need.

sailed the war had not yet broken out,
and so in order to find out just
what the situation was l put in at
Martinique. They would hardly let
me approach, for fear Of breaking the
neutrality laws. But found out that
war had been declared and that the
island OF Cuba was blockaded by a
powerful squadron. Prepared if needs
be to die for Spain, and knowing that
it would be impossible TO enter the
harbor of Havana, as most OF the
American squadron was concentrated
at that port, l made up my mind to
run for Cienfugos and succeeded in en-
tering that port in spite of the vlgi-
lance Of the American warships. After
staying there six days l returned to
Cadiz and took on another war cargo
Of 5000 tons. I reached Cuba again on
July 18, 1898, when the war was at
its full height ! decided not to at
tempt to enter Cienfugos again, but
to make my attempt this time at Ma
tanzas I waited until night fell and
at about IL o'clock, putting out all
my lights, started under full steam
for the shore In spite of all my pre-
cautions l was observed by the Nash
vile, which started in hot pursuit, and.
fired three shots after us, thinking
we were going to surrender, but in
stead cheered my crew and with the
words Dios Y Patria kept steadily on
my course Several other shots were
fired, some of which fell within few
yards OF the vessel. But when | got
nearer land / was aided by the fort,
where the roar OF the Nashville's gun
had been heard, and I made the port
in safety and unloaded my cargo"

was decorated by the Spanish govern

(DellVered Nov. -, lS63.)
Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this contl-
nent a new nation, conceived in Lib
erty, and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal. Now
we are engaged in a great civil war,
testing whether that nation, or any
nation SO conceived and so dedicated,
can long endure. We are met on a
great battlefield of that war. We are
met to dedicate a portion Of it as the
final resting place of those who here
gave their lives that that nation might
live. 1t is altogether fitting and
proper that we should do this. But in
a larger sense we. can not dedicate, we

and dead who struggled here have con-
secrated it far above our power to add
or detract. The world will little note.
nor long remember what we say here,
but it can never forget what they did
here. 1t is for us, the living, rather
to be dedicated here to The unfinished
work that they have thus far so nobly
carried on. 1t is rather for us to be
here dedicated to the great task Of re-
naming before us-that from these
honored dead we take increased devo-
tion to the cause for which they gave
the last full measure of devotion
that we here highly resolve that the
dead shall not have died in vain-that
the nation shall. under God have a
new birth Of freedom, and that the
government of the people. by the peo-
pie, and for the people, shall not per-
ish from the earth.

In Arizona there is a county called

crosses it with many a curve and

years prior to the time Of his arrival
at Flagstaff. He was not familiar with
the southwest, its climate and peculiar
Topography, but he had associated with
him man by the name of Watts, who
had lived for many years in the vi
cinity of Prescott and who understood
the perils that confronted the survey
ing party in its attempt to find rail-

The two men left camp one morning

PSYCHOLOGY OF THE FLY.
Persists In Returning to Spot From
Which II Is Driven.


"The pertinacity of flies has caused
me to wonder much of late on the
habits of these pests" remarked a gen.
tleman to the New Orleans Times
Democrat, 'and the recent discussion
of the fly as a disseminator Of typhoid
has tended to increase my interest in
the matter. Did you ever notice the
persistence shown by a fly in sticking
to a certain spot when you attempt to
shoe him away? Invariably he will
describe a circle and alight again on
exactly the same spot. He will repeat
this as often as you strike at him un-
less he feels that persistence will
jeopardize his life. / conducted lit

that it made no difference to me and

From my observation of flies they do
net care so much about alighting on
the human body unless they can find
some morsel upon which to feed, OF
unless violent effort is made to beat
them away. But the most interesting
observation | have made in this con-
| necticn has taught me that it is com

pest. There is one essential: Do not
get mad. Good humor is the thing
when 1t comes to dealing with flies. II
we get angry we strike violently at

sheer wickedness or because he be-

The Battle Of Gettxsburr.

The battle Of Gettysburg was fought
on July 1. 2, and 8, 1863. II was the
greatest battle of the civil war, not
only as regards the number of men
engaged, and the casualties resulting,
but in decisive character. It is gener-
ally conceded that the confederate
cause reached high tide at Gettysburg.
and from that point receded gradually
until the final collapse. 1t was a con-
flict in which valor attained it's high
est exemplification. 1t was a case of
Greek meet Greek. Both confederates
and federals displayed the highest
qualities OF heroic manhood. While the
confederates were forced to retire and
retreat into Maryland and thence into
Virginia, it was only after three days
of as fierce fighting as the world ever
saw, and the federal army was too ex-
hausted to pursue. About 162.O00 men
were engaged in this battle (90,0 900
federals and 10000 confederates), and
the result was the turning point in the
war. General Lee invaded ,Pennsyl-
vania for the double purpose Of carry
Ing the war into northern territory
and to provision his army from the
rich stores Of the fertile counties of
Pennsylvania. The moral effect of the
invasion was also expected to be great,
not only in this country, but abroad.

thought he was entombed in some vast
charneI house of the ages to which
Time had brought Natures remains
and left them without burial. He was
on the crest of one-time vast lava Deds,
a spot where the fires of hell once
ragged beneath his feet. Here the last
great battle of the peaks OF the con-
tinent had probably been fought with
thunderbolt and flame hurled from the
bowels of the earth. And he was
alone. Not even the wretched lizards
of the lava region were moving. Per-

hoping that the suns light might give

of the night grow deeper and deeper,

the plain, but there was no sight OF

He drank his water to the last drop
in the bottle. He walked and ran. He
returned to the spot where he had first
become bewildered. He was hot and
then cold, and the sun rose higher and
higher; grew more pitiless with every
advance. The white heat beat down
upon him; it rose in sheets before him
and placed awful colors before him.
Now the lizards and the mean creep
ing things came out, but they passed
him by. They could wait. Others had
preceded him.
After long time the man threw his
hands high in the air, far up to the
sun god that was calling him, although
beating him down. He fell fiat on his
face, and there he slept his last sleep
in the land where the sun shines for
ever and ever.
