lined with tangle manR'e. In which we hauled up and concealed the boats. We slept In the swamps among the mosquitoe?, each man building a lire In the circle, marched all the morning through the rain, and t last approached a house at which a party of horsemen, were halted. Our old commander shouted out. 'Qui vive? and I plumped a cartridge into my Winchester, ready for a tif-ht in case it should be 'Espana but it was 'Cuba llbre,' and we wert soon in the arms of friend.-. husslns? in the true Cuban fashion with a little pat on thjj back. "And how they have treated us since then, like lord-: and it culminated last right at a grand camp banquet. President Cisneios at the head of the table; next funeral Itoloff. General Iiodrlwues. General Castillo, whom I sat opposite; Brigadier Santa Anna. Surgeon General Sanchez, and fo otu twenty more. We 'expert it loners' had been called over In the aft rnoon. and had been formally thanked for distinguished services in a very pleasant speech by the president, and I had answered (th?y all speak English) that It was very pleasant to be so kindly appreciated, and we hoped this was but the beginning of greater and better services, and so they have made me a major. The consideration that I am a civil engineer, which always commands a captaincy, and that I am an American, has made It major. Again comes a red letter day. Just here our chief of artillery came over to tell me that there were letters for mo. and I flew over to headquarter:-, and 'as overjoyed, almost overcome, by receiving eight. "Have been waiting these tv.o days to find out where I am to bo sent in tho general shuffle about to ensue. I have been temporarily attached to the artillery, but am accounted an engineer (my own great preference), and by latest inside information from General Itoloff. secretary of war, am to be placed In command, and In position to permanently organize an efficient engineering fault, which we found to be a fatal fault at the list battle. "I have been in action nt last, and five times under lire already. Fity 'tis, 'ti true, that we did not take the fort, but we could and would have with any but the commander we had. lie told us American artillerists that we were 'loco (mail) when we wanted to storm the pjace with dynamite, after two days' shelling, but wo were not cowards, as we proved at the guns within 7' yards of the fort. when, with three of our men shot down, wo silenced their lire, and only retired after firing our last cartridge. "I and I on the second day circled the fort within 400 yards; not a shot was fired at us. so cowed were the Spaniards; we entered their wharf storehouse on the edge of the canal, 200 yards from the fort, and Hacked it of a great boatload of stores and provisions and set it a tire. "You need not worry a particle about the yellow fever, for the Cubans do not have it at all. It never appears in their camps, which are In the open country, only in the cities and camps of the Spaniards near the salt water. This makes the twelfth expedition, not a single one being stopped by the Spaniards. "Do give us belligerency anil more substantial aid, so we can finish the work and go home."

The steamer Jason (British), Captain Frazer, which arrived to-day from Jamaica ports, picked up the crew of the dismasted and sinking schooner Mary Sprague on Jan. 29 near Crooked Island passage, and brought them to this port.

The story of her loss was graphically told by Captain Poland. He said: "Everything went well until the night of Jan. 20, about 8 o'clock, when, during a strong southeast gale our forerigging parted, letting tho foremast go by the board. The mast, in falling, broke rails and stanchions, smashed the forward house and one boat all to pieces, the other boat being badly stove; the ship then fell off into the trough of the sea and lay there for twenty-four hours. While we were getting clear of the wreckage tho seas made a clean breach over the vessel, and large quantities of water got into the hold. She lay in this position tor nine days. On the 2fth of January tho steamer Jason hove in sight, and in answer to my distress signal bore up. The steamer sent a life boat manned by the chief otlicer and four seamen at considerable risk and took us all on. After we were all safely aboard tho steamer Captain Frazer sent his first officer back on board the schooner to set fire to her, as she was. likely to bo a dangerous obstruction to navigation, night coming on and she being right in the track of vessels bound to and from the Crooked Island passage. When last seen the Sprague was aflame fore and aft. and burning fiercely." The Mary Sprague was a three-masted schooner of 617 tons register.

THOUSANDS DESTITUTE MAM" PEOPLE I .XORTHWESTEIIX LOUISIANA IX SORE DISTRESS. Conrrc8mnn Dontncr Says Ahont 100,000 Xeed Immediate Succor nnd Also Seeds to Plant Crops. NEW YORK, Feb. 3. Congressman C. J. Boatner, of Louisiana, who is in the city, said to-day that about 100,000 people are destitute In the northwestern part of his State, owing to bad crops. He had just received a dispatch from Col. Paige Baker, editor of a New Orleans paper, telling him that the people needed seeds to plant their crops and asking him wThether he could not get Congress to appropriate something for seed. "I shall not ask Congress to appropriate anything for seeds," said the congressman, "because I feel sure thit President Cleveland would veto any bid of that nature. Ho vetoed a bill of r- similar kind for the sufferers In Texas some years ago. It gives me pleasure to say that many congressmen besides myself are sending seeds, and it is a great help. Whatever they get is helpful and will assist them to plant small crops at least.' Mr. Boatner explained the reason for the fearful condition there, as follows: "Last year we had a drought of four months. It rot only killed the growing crops but tho streams dried up, cattle died and those that survived became very poor. The drought was confined to the hilly or sandy soil and not to the rich alluvial lands of the Mississippi, Red and Ouachita rivers. These alluvial lands, however, can stand longer droughts than the hill lands. There are about 100,000 people affected by this failure to make crops, and we are doinp all wsr can to help them. The State will, of course, do all it can to prevent them from suffering, but they are In actual need, for they do not get enough for the crops when they raise them to have any surplus money on hand. Bc-sides the help they receive now they will, as I said, have to have seed to plant their crops. It is a fearful drought that kills even a seed crop." The Famine In Indin. LONDON, Feb. 4. A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Bombay says that the better classes among the people of India are beginning to feel tho pinch of the famine. Many are selling furniture and ornaments at ruinous prices and the prevailing distress is terribly keen. In the Decan district even farmers are applying to the government for aid. People of tho lower caste, it Is asserted, are at the present time living on tho "fat of the land." The explanation Ia made that they are gorging themselves on the carcasses of cattle, which are dying by the thousands. XebriiMkiL Corn Refused by ChIcno. LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 3. The Senate today killed the Canady resolution, offered last week, and adopted one offering to send corn to Chicago free of any cost to the clty if It would be accepted by the mayor. This, afternoon a telegram was received from Mayor Swift, saying: "We sincerely thank the generous ieople of Nebraska for their proffered donation of corn, but respectfully decline, as the response of our own citizens has been so abundantly generous as to givw all the aid that will be required to meet the wants of the suffering." Newfoundlander Starving, ST. JOHNS, N. P., Feb. 3.-Great distress continues in the Fortune bay district, owing to tho failure of the herring fishery. The mail steamer reports hundreds as being absolutely destitute. A similar condition of things also exists here. A mob of unemployed to-day visited the government ollices demanding work, and representing themselves as starving. Soup kitchens are being started by charitable organizations. JURISTS EXONERATED. Jndse Sweat, of Goorsln, Itnrely I2scapes nn Impeachment Trial. ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 3. The Georgia State Legislature met to-day to consider a report from the committee which had in charge the investigation of Judges Reese and Sweat. By a unanimous vote it decided to exonerate Judge Reese, but tho case against Judge Sweat was of a very .different character. The opposition to exonerating him was not confined to the Populists alone, but was joined in by a great rumber of tho most prominent Democrats. The first effort was to force, the Impeachment of Judge Sweat, notwithstanding the report of the committee, but as that would involve an extension of the legislative term, meaning increased taxes, it fell through. When the vote was called on the question whether the report of the committee exonerating Sweat should be Indorsed, it stood 93 yeas to 64 nays. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

PRIZE WINNING CANINES

SOME OF THE ARISTOCRATS THAT AVE RE HONORED YESTERDAY. Pnhlic Falls to Appreciate the Fine Dos Show 'Policemen Try the Bloodhounds. The management of the bench show r.ow in progress at Tomlinson Hall cannot understand why tho people do not attend In larger numbers. Yesterday only a small crowd came to look at the dogs, and at the present rate it is feared the Hooslcr Kennel Club will come out "in the hole." Good judges have said that the bench show is decidedly high class, and it is clearly the fact that it by far exceeds anything of the kind ever held in Indianapolis. The club has been to trreat expense in the matter of premiums and other arrangements, and the proceeds are to go to the cause of charity; still the people do not attend in anything like crowds. To-day at 1 o'clock the tests for beagles will be held at Fairview Park. Cars will begin running to the park at noon. Admission will be free, and it is hoped a large number of people will go out to see the clever little dogs chase rabbits. Ten beagles have been entered for the trials. They will be let lcose in pairs, and the winning five will then contest for first, second and third prizes. It is probable that the whole pack will also be let loose after a rabbit in order to furnish more amusement for tho spectators. The bloodhound trials have been set for Saturday, and the fox hunt at Danville will take place to-morrow. A unique feature will be introduced for Saturday in the jshape of a prize for the ugliest dog in Indianapolis." None but local dogs will be allowed to compete, and entries will close Saturday noon. The entry fee is 50 cents, which includes a ticket of admission for the day, and the prize is $5. The work of awarding premiums proceeded rapidly yesterday, and a large number of doggies were decorated with the coveted i-iKhnnc tvViMo tui laririT numbers were turned away disappointed. There was considerable grumbling at some of the decisions, especially by the women who had rwt in tho rnmnpt itirtn. but no more. lCrhaps. than is usual at a dog show or any other kind or a show wnere a prize is at stake.

The Indianapolis police department yesterday made a trial of bloodhounds to see if the animals would be of use to tho force. Superintendent Colbert and Captain Dawson had the expedition in charge. The dogs taken were four of those now on exhibition at the bench show, Red and Black from Smith's Ohio kennel, and Cuba Libre and Bernadine, owned by Dr. Bell, of Kokomo. The trail was laid by Mr. Miller, beginning at the alley in Delaware street, between Ohio and New York, and after devious windings and turnings, ending in the saloon opposite tho Empire Theater. Red was the lirst of the four dogs to catch the trail and was never at fault, Cuba Libre being a close second. The other two were a little behind at lirst. but towards the last they all worked well and tugged at the leashes, nearly jerking the arms off their attendants. Miller was found perched on some boxes in a corner of the saloon and the dogs had to be taken from the room before he could come down. Captain Dawson was pleased with the work of the hounds and said he would make a favorable report to the board. The trial attracted much attention, fully X) people falling in line behind the dogs, many of them expecting to find a desperate criminal at the end of the trail. The Western Union Itolilied. Will Moore, aged fourteen, who lives In the rear of 2C2 South Missouri street, and Richard Brogan, aged sixieen, of 2S Abbott street, were arrested yesterday and charged with burglary and grand larceny. They are charged with stealing about $203 worth of copper and zinc, used In batteries, from the Western Union storehouse, on South Capitol avenue. During the last six months the company has been missing arUcies from the storehouse, and in the entire time it is estimated that the loss had reached Ini. Last Sunday it was discovered that another raid had been made on the place, and an inventory showed that copper and zinc of the value of $32 was missing. SUNDAY BASEBALL. An Argument In Favor of It by a Representative of Labor. Union Standard. We are firmly convinced that If the mechanics of this city were permitted any expression of opinion on the point, they would almost unanimously indorse Senator New's bill allowing Sunday ballplaying in cities of 10'),OV and over. Men who are working steadily from Monday moning until Saturday night cannot afford to lose a day to see a ball game, no matter how enthusiastic their admiration for the national sport, and when their only day of rest ami re-creation comes round they surely ought not be prevented from enjoying themselves in a rational and harmless manner. Iast year v.e had the spectacle of train after trainload of our citizens leaving this city for Cincinnati and other points, where the principal inducement held out was a league game of. ball. This took thousands of dollars out of local circulation which might ju?t as well have been spent in our midst. This Is not fair to our business men who aro taxpayers, nor to a largo number of our hard-working mechanics who are not church-goers. In a growing city like Indianapolis there mu.st in the nature of things be found a lare number of good, law-ublding. upright citizens who do not attend church services for reasons satisfactory to themselves, who would enjoy attending the harmless game of baseball on Sunday. Other citizens a respectable minority find rest and satisfaction by participating In divine services on the first day of the week. These people can derive no pleasure from i. Sunday ball game, but are illiberal enough to say to a majority of our citizens, we cannot find enivment In Sunday baseball and you
