"Outwardly the ten-cent ball

there Is a vast difference in the
life and durability of the two

GLIMPSE OF THE
AWFUL TORTURES
PraCticed by Chinese On
Their Prisoners.
SOME INGENIOUS CRUELTIES
Inflicted Upon Soldiers for
Slight InfractiOnS of
Duties Imposed.
THEIR MILITARY DISCIPLINE

Chinese military discipline is
something fierce, according to DR..
A. L. Shelton, of Anthony, Kan,
who has just returned as a mission
airy from the land of the pigtail. The
doctor tells this blood-curdling
story of the cruelty practiced upon
a good friend of his who was a Ma
job in the Chinese army:
Three companies Of Chinese
soldiers under the Majors COM
mand, but stationed in a distant
city, rebelled and deserted, taking
their arms and ammunition. AS
the Chinese army is in the main
made up Of men who accept the SER
vice in place of a penal sentence,
the most rigid rules are enforced
heartlessly to get a minimum of
service and discipline. They are
paid the equivalent of s2.40 a
month, on which they must sJbsist
To them starvation is always immi-
nent and a dead dog or mule or 9TH
er animal. even when dead of dis
ease, is greedily cooked and eaten.
1.-THE Major was held responsible
for his rebellious troops and only
the intercession of the commanding
General of the district, who got
down on his knees and begged for
the life of the subordinate to the
Civil Governor, saved his head.
1.-The punishment was modified to
dismissal from the army and 1000
light blows from a small paddle.
The paddle used is from one to one
and a half inches wide, eighteen
inches long and probably the eighth
oe an inch thick. In administering
II the thigs are barred, and light,
even blows are struck on the thick
flesh between the hip and knee, the
victim lying PROSTATE on his face.
The paddle is used with a sort of
flip and for some time makes no i'm
preston; 500 blows makes the flesh
red and puffy, 1900 brings the flesh
to jelly-like consistency, and g.
600 makes the limit of torture a
strong man may endure and live.
"Often gangrene sets in and the
victim dies; with the best of treat
ment 1t is months before the man
padded can use his legs naturally.
In the case of the Major the flesh
sloughed off his thigh an inch and
a half deep, five inches broad and
seventeen inches long. He expected
to get we'll, but his legs would al
ways be crippled. The rebellious
troops were pursued. 200 of them
were killed in action and the bal

given swords and REQUIRED to cut

NAMES HULL IS
FREED OF WATER
And Close Examination Is
Going On.
A COMPLETE VIEW OF WRECK
Shows the Awful Havoc
Wrought by Terrific In
. ternal Explosion.
FATE OF THE CREW A MYSTERY

Havana, July 22.-The process of
removing the water surrounding the
wreck of the Maine was practically
completed last evening, when the
water level in the cofferdam had
been lowered eighteen feet, leaving
the wreck surrounded by islets of
mud, small pools and sink-holes of
Shiny water. The soundings show
nowhere a depth in excess of four
feet.
Although the water is now only
two feet lower than in previous
pumping operations, the revelations
with regard to the shattered hulk
have been vastly enlarged, owing
to the lateral outspreading of the
distorted frames and plating, espec-
tally in the forward section where
the explosion was greatest. The
structure of the bow as far aft as
frame eighteen, is now exposed, per-
hitting an analysis of the plates,
beams, ribs, ETC., and it has been
shown conclusively that they origi-
nally belonged to the structure Of
the double bottom, which is now
elevated to q height of about forty
feet above the normal position, ap-
parently giving confrmatory evil
dence of a tremendous exterior eX-
plosion.
In the confused mass of wreck
age of the bow is to be seen a curv-
ed piece of steel, believed to be
what Ensign Powelson identified
before the Sampson court of in
quiry as part of the fat keel of the
Maine. Naval Constructor Fergu-
son, in charge of the examination,
declines to say whether he can fully
confirm Powelson's Identification,
but says that adjacent plates and
beams are unquestionably from the
vicinity OF the keel.
The wardroom and officers quar-
ters on the starboard side are eX-
posed, but owing to a considerable
list, the mud is level with the CELL
ing, precluding at the present time
the possibility of exploration. The
means for extensive excavations
may consume several months.
Among the developments as a re-
suit of the pumping was the en-
posture of a section of the armor
belt abreast and amidship super
structure. This is about level with
the surface of the water in normal
position, but separated from the
forward portion OF the belt, which
doubtless will be blown out.
The hope of the discovery Of the
remains of many of the crew is di-
minishing on account of the uneX-
pectedly complete demolition of the
berth and deck.
1t is believed that the wreck will
be ready for inspection by the board
Of inquiry within two months.
An interesting point which the
engineers are now investigating is
whether the bulkhead Immediately
aft OF the central superstructure
where 1t is believed the hull was al
most completely broken in half, re-
mains in good condition, in which
case it is believed little difficulty
will be experienced in floating out
the after one-third of the ship.

"REMINISCENCES OF
OHIO COUNTY BOYS
In the COnfederacy-Advance on
Chickamauga-Bat of
Mission Ridge.
(Continued.)

In my last article We were on the
battlefield of Chickamauga. On the
next morning after the battle the
army began the advance on Chatta-
nooga. AS we fell in line, the Reb-
| ell yell and moving of the artillery
created an uproar beyond descrip-
ton. Our boys were again in high
spirits, as We were once more
marching toward our native State.
But our advance was soon check
ed. When we arrived within two
miles of Chattanooga our company
was advanced on the skirmish line.
We drove in the Federal pickets
and Lieut.. ]. w. Ford and one 9TH
er man were sent forward to recon-
hotter. They soon came back amidst
la shower of bullets and reported
the enemy was in line of battle on
the next ridge. Then for some un-
known cause our army was with
drawn back two miles to position
on Mission Ridge, where We forth
fed and remained for two months
and a half without any tents and
only half rations. The autumn
was cold and rainy and We suffered
very much, but our boys still had
hope that We would finally be sue
cessful and did not murmur.
Canaro1 nj
began to collect troops to break the
siege of Chattanooga and on the
night of the gath of November he
attacked Lookout Mountain. All
night long they fought on that
mountain, and about three O'Clock
on the next morning they gained
possession of Lookout Mountain,
which gave them the key TO the sit
uation.
At that time the writer was with
the pioneer corps OF Breckenridges
division and with Cobb's Kentucky
Battery. 1t was stationed about
the center of the ridge, supported by
the Orphan Brigade, but that night
the Brigade was moved to the ex-
IRENE right of our line and nothing
was left to support Cobb's battery
but a skirmish line.
So next morning General Grant
made a furious attack upon that
part OF the line and as they passed
through an open field, Cobb's bat
terry made a perfect slaughter pen
of them. This caused them to halt,
but they had already turned our left
wing and forced us TO give up the
field with the loss of Cobb's guns.
We fell back across Chickamauga
river. The Orphan Brigade had
been attached to General Cleborn's
division and was not attacked on
their position and as the Federals
advanced across the river, Cleborn's
division formed and held a consid-
cradle battle with them and drove
their advance back, which ended
that campaign.
We then fell back to Dalton, Ca,
where we once more went into
camp for the winter, as General
Grant did not follow any further.
