Informed that a court-martial had been ordered for an interview in another case he insisted on knowing all the circumstances, and seemed pleased when the reporter could not give the exact facts to show that courts-martial might be called on account of statements in interviews or other public utterances. The case of Chaplain Mclntyre, of the Oregon, is somewhat s'miiar to this. In a public address the chaplain accused Capt. “Bob” Evans o' cowardice, and abused other brother officers, attacking the conduct of the battle of Santiago, July 3. A court-martial has been ordered to assemble at Denver to consider his case. Dr. Carstensen seemed very fearful lest he should be misrepresented, and called on a friend to overhear what he had to say to the reporter. . “This man wants to make a sensation where there is none," said the chaplain. The doctor seemed to overlook his own eensational interview in the Sentinel, which started all the trouble. He is a correspondent of the Sentinel. Dr. Carstensen did not appear altogether at ease. He and his son took dinner with James M. Winters, his friend and legal adviser. who afterward accompanied them to the play at English’s Opera House, where the chaplain was seen. Mr. Winters, when called to overhear just what the chaplain had- to say. suggested that it might be well for him to say toothing. At no time did the chaplain deny the authenticity of the interview in the Sentinel. Neither did he admit its authenticity. ♦- LIBEL ON A SURGEON. Rev. Mr. Caratensen’s Strictures on a Very Able JUun. M. J. Treaty, veterinary surgeon of the Eighth United States Cavalry, Fort Meade, South Dakota, now on leave, came into the Journal office yesterday and asked permission to make a statement in reply to the attack of Chaplain Carstensen on Chief Surgeon Hush Huidekoper, of the First Corps. Surgeon Treacy said that he had read the articles of the chaplain and declared that they did an eminent man the grossest injustice. Mr. Huidekoper belongs to one of the oldest and best families in Pennsylvania. His father was one of the most gallant brigade commanders in the war for th<* Union, losing an arm in action. His son is a graduate of the medical department of Harvard University. For many years he was regarded as a skillful practitioner in human surgery. He was a medical expert, and, as such, was often called to give testimony in murder cases, among which were the notorious Shakespere and Myer murders in New York city. A man is not called from Philadelphia to New York in such cases who is not regarded as an authority. When the war broke out he was surgeon major of the National Guard of Pennsylvania and was promoted to chief surgeon, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. There w ere seven such appointments made by the 2 J sesident. The lirst five are from the United States army, the sixth is Dr. Nicholas Senn, of Chicago, one of the most distinguished specialists in the country. The seventh is Dr. Rush Huidekoper. of Philadelphia. who is recognized as a man of the highest professional attainments and as an expert In human medical science. About . ght years ago one of the Llppintootts etido ,-,d a veterinary department in tlie Uni vers!.y of Pennsylvania. The trustees, a.‘ier much deliberation, selected Dr. Huidekoper tu take charge of it, and he went to .he Lost veterinary college in the World, thi Alfort, near Paris, to prepare 10 give instruction. Since his return Dr. Huidekoper has held the position of veterinary anatomy and surgery in the University of Pennsylvania. He is also highly educated in the science of surgery, human as well as animal. He hap done much to put the treatment of horses upon a scientific basis, as it is in Europe, and where the term horse doctor contains nothing of odium. Some correspondent preceded Chaplain Carstensen in this slander upon Dr. Huidekoper in a Minneapolis paper, but its attention being called to the matter, full retraction was made. If any one wishes to see the veterinary eurgeon of the Eighth United States Cavalry he can be found at No. 28 North Illinois street. He will be found to be a very Intelligent, matter-of-fact, soldierly gentleman. Officer* Not There. The statement made yesterday that the officers of the One-hundred-and-flfty-eighth Regiment were at the reception tendered Chaplain Carstensen Thursday night at St. I aul s Church was an error. Colonel Smith fi d his staff were at a dinner given by Senator Fairbanks. Chaplain Carstensen could toot be at the dinner, and sent his regrets.

SOLDIERS WELL FED. Reports Rrcartlliiß Starvation at Santiago de Cuba Denied. BANTIAOO DE CUBA. Sept. 16.-Con-trary to reports that seem to have been circulated in the United States, representing' that the American soldiers were dying' ©f starvation at Santiago— reports that elicited an inquiry from the War Department regarding the matter—the troops here have ample supplies of every kind, except that in some instances the fresh meat supply has been unsatisfactory. The fact is that the meat sent here in refrigerator ships, owing to the delay in unloading, becomes more or less tainted before it can he used, at is estimated that at least -U) per cent, is quite useless. Dess than half the meat issued to Colonel Hood’s regiment has been lit to eat. and, naturally there has been aome complaint. Near Santiago aie great Helds of pasturage, and the United States government would do well tc send live beeves here instead of contract meat. The cost would be less and the satisfaction lar greater. Aside from the sickness that is incidental to acclimatization, the trouble among the noldlers is chiefly mental, rather than physical, and a better mail service would do much to remedy it. Scarcely any mail has reached here. The men, more or less enervated by the climate and deprived of communication with their homes and families, ■worry, grow despondent and sicken from suspense. To nine out of every ten sick soldiers at Santiago a letter from home would be better than medicine. United States mail boxes are being put up in the streets, and the office facilities are ample. All that is needed is a regular mail service. Yesterday fifty Chbans, who had been employed about the docks, were placed on easier work by Lieut. Hanna. To his surprise they went on strike, absolutely refusing to work at all. Os course, they were discharged. They have been paid in rations, nd the opportunity to steal at the docks was too attractive to be resisted. The products of these thievings they would sell to the small dealers, thus adding to the legitimate results of labor. Being well fed seems to render the ordinary Cuban indisposed to work. * “The I.uck of Roaring Camp/* Anton Roman, in the Overland. The particular incident connected with the first year of the Overland that has been ©ftenest and most widely told is the first leception of “The Lurk of Roaring Camp" and the trouble it made. My own recollection of the incident differs a little in particulars from Mr. Harte’s. As 1 remember It, Mr. Harte and I had both gone with our Wives to Santa Cruz for Sunday. We often took such trips in those days. On this Sunday I found in my mail when the stage from San Jose came in duplicate galley proofs of "The Luck of Roaring Camp.” Harte had told me the story before. One proof I gave to him and took the other to my own room, where I asked my wife to read it aloud to me. As far as she could go she ©id. but the story so affected her that she could not finish it aloud and went on reading it to herself. Then I took it and finished it, too. Neither of us had a word of objection to make; we were simply delighted ■with It. On the following day we all went back to San Francisco. On reaching the city Harte went to the printer’s and I to the etore. My chief clerk, Joseph Hoffmann, greeted me with the statement that there was a great hullabaloo at the printer’s over the immorality of the Luck. They were saying that it would kill the magazine. To this I replied that if it killed the magazine it could do nothing more. Then Mr. Harte came in from the printer's with the sharp demand to know what I meant to do about it. •’Nothing,” I said, "but go ahead.” ▲■other Case of Yellow Fever. fACTKSON, Miss., Sept. 16.—At noon today the State Board of Health officially announced that anew case of yellow fever had appeared in Jackson. The patient is J. 11, Manley, a train dispatcher. He was taken sick Wednesday afternoon with what cit first appeared to/be an ordinary chill. Manley is isolated in the Morrison grocery building, about 400 yards south of the place where the first case appeared. All necessary precautions have been taken. The town Is quiet, and very few people are leaving.

MUST QUIT FASHODA GEN. KITCHENER PREPARING TO DRIVE OUT THE FRENCH. * Will Re Sent to Marehnnd Demanding: that He Retire from the Disputed Territory. FRANCIS JOSEPH OVERCOME ALMOST HEARTBROKEN OVER THE DEATH OF HIS CONSORT. Scenes in the Chapel of Hofhnrg, Where the Body of the Einpres* Lay in State All Yesterday. * LONDON, Sept. 17.—A dispatch to the Morning Post from Cairo says that General Kitchener has absolute authority to claim Fashoda as Egyptian territory and to expel the present occupants forcibly if necessary. Fashoda, the correspondent says, will then be occupied by an Egyptian garrison. The Daily Telegraph’s Cairo correspondent says that'General Kitchener intends to present an ultimatum, demanding that the French expedition under Major Marchand quit Fashoda forthwith. WILL REVISE THE DREYFUS CASE. Cabinet Will Probably Adopt Minister Surrien** Recommendation. PARIS, Sept. 16.—The newspapers here say the minister of justice, M. Sarrien, has completed the examination of the documents in the Dreyfus case, and that he will communicate to the ministers at the Cabinet council to be held to-morrow, his intention to refer the matter to a commission competent to undertake a revision of the p:oce;dings. The general opinion is that the Cabinet will adopt the proposal for a revision of the case unanimously, with the exception of the minister of war, General Zurlinden, who yesterday informed the minister of justice that he intends to resign if it develops that he does not agree w r ith his colleagues. The Figaro. Matin and Rappel say they believe that in case Gen. Zurlinden resigns, M. Brisson, the premier, is resolved to take the portfolio of minister of war, and give the portfolio of minister of interior to M. Vallee. According to the Gaulois. the result of the decision of the minister of justice will be a ministerial crisis, as, this paper claims, other ministers will also resign. President Faure, at the conclusion of the army maneuvers to-day, says a dispatch from Gonnalois, had luncheon with the officers and made a speech, in the course of which, after praising the tactical knowledge and devotion of the officers, and the discipline and drill of the soldiers, he said: “In the name of the country, I thank the generals, officers and soldiers who left their homes to serve with their whole strength the noblest conceivable ideal. The trials through which you have passed have always drawn closer the union of the fatherland and the army. I see these children of the French family, filled with the same enthusiasm, spirit and faith, gather around the flag in order to defend the common patrimony of honor. In this union, under the aegis of republican institutions, lies our strength. Thanks to it, France has overcome the terrible event whose recollection will never be effaced from our memory. It is by this union that France has reconquered her place in the world. I drink to the honor of the army.’’ President Faure conferred the cross of the Legion of Honor on Gen. Alfred E. Bates, the military attache of the United States embassy in London, who has followed the maneuvers. There was great cheering for the army and for France as the President was leaving the review ground. Socialist Deputy M. Breton refused to uncover as M. Faure passed, and was threatened by the crowd with shouts of “Down with traitors!” “Down with Dreyfus!” M. Breton had to make a speedy retreat.

GRIEF OF AN EMPEROR. Francis Joseph Gives Way to His Emotions at His "Wife’s Bier. VIENNA, Sept. 16.—The public was permitted to view the casket containing the remains of the late Empress of Austria today. It reposed on a catafalque, in the Chapel of Hofburg, where masses for the repose of the soul of the deceased were celebrated incessantly at three altars until noon. On the casket were four wreaths, sent by the children and grandchildren of the deceased, while many other floral offerings were upon the walls of the chapel. At the head of the casket were the imperial crown, the coronet of an archduchess and the jeweled orders of the late Empress. At the foot of the casket were a black fan and a pair of white gloves. Life guardsmen were stationed at each corner of the catafalque. There was a steady procession of people until the church was closed at 5 o’clock, among them Prince Albert of Belgium, and other personages of high rank. Even after the doors were closed thousands remained outside. After the blessing of the remains Emperor Francis Joseph knelt down and reverently kissed the coffin. He asked the maid of honor whether her Majesty suffered much. She replied that she did not. It transpires that a painful scene occurred at the church. Tlie Emperor was prostrated with grief. Upon arriving at the Hofburg chapel on Thursday night his Majesty became almost unconscious from the intensity of his emotions. Many of those present wept in sympathy. The Neues Wiener Tageblatt publishes a report of an attempted Anarchist outrage on the Prince of Naples at Loeben, Styria, during the course of the prince’s journey to this city. One Anarchist named Yizzi was arrested. Another named Cabiglio escaped. The Corenn Poisoning. SEOUL, Corea, Sept. 16.—1 tis reported here that a high official of the palace, named Ko, has made a confession that he ordered the cook of the royal household to poison food intended for the King and crown prince, both of whom became seriously ill on Sunday last. The official further confessed that the poisoning plot was instigated by a former interpreter attached to the Russian legation here, who w r as once a court favorite, but is now in disgrace. Cable Note*. It is rumored that a conflict between insurgents and Turkish troops has occurred near Candia. According to the report some Christians were killed and a number wounded. United Ireland, which was established at Dublin by the late Charles Stewart Parnell in 1881 as the organ of the Land League, has ceased publication. Lately it has been the organ of the reunion of the Nationalist parties.

QUEENSTOWN, Sept. 16.-The Cunard line steamer Aurania, from New York, Sept. 6, for Liverpool, which was reported off the south coast of Ireland, disabled and in tow, arrived here at 2 o’clock this morning. The captain of the Aurania reports that the crank shaft broke at 9:30 p. m. on Sept. 13. At 5:30 o’clock on the following evening, while the steamer was 115 miles west of Fastnet, the British steamer Marino. Capt. Webster, from Morltreai, for London, sighted the Aurania and took her in tow. All on board the Aurania are well. The sea was calm during her passage and no unusual Incidents, with the exception of the breaking

of the shaft, are to be recorded. The Aurania will wait here for the arrival of a Tug which will tow her to Liverpool. All the passengers will be landed at this port. As the Aurania, in tow of the British steamer Marino, was entering the harbor this morning, the steamer Glenmore, outward bound, passed between the two steamers and severed the tow line. The broken hawser became entwined in the propeller of the Marino. The Marino has since been endeavoring to clear the tangle. The Aurania was towed to an anchorage by a tug.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—With William R. Day and William P. Frye, members of the peace commission, who arrived from Washington to-night, were Secretaries Long and Bliss and Attorney General Griggs. Secretary Long, accompanied by Capt. Clover, of the United States ship Bancroft, went to the Manhattan Hotel. He said: “There is no significance in my visit to this city. I am simply on my way to Hingham, Mass., to attend to some private matters.” When asked what the ultimate destination of the Oregon and the lowa were, he said: “These war ships have been ordered to Honolulu.” Will they go from there to Manila?” The secretary reflected a moment and said: “Yes, they may go to Manila. You see, we robbed the Pacific squadron of two vessels, and it is no more than just that we, return them again after we have got through with them.” In talking on the subject of the new vessels, he said: “Congress at its next session may see the advisability of an increase in the number of war vessels. The three that have been awarded to Cramps, the Norfolk yard and the Union iron works, of San Francisco, will be formidable vessels. They will have an increased codl capacity, increased speed and increased topnage. This has been one of the results of the observations from the war.” NO DISORDERS IN CUBA - ♦ SPANISH SOLDIERS RESTRAINED BY CAPTAIN GENERAL BLANCO. ♦ Over 100,000 Men to Be Trnnunortrd to Spain—President Muas-o'* Address to the Insurgent Army. ■ ♦- ; Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Sept. IK.—Advices from Havana and Porto Rico are that arrangements for the evacuation of the islands are proceeding satisfactorily. Our military commissioners have met with no serious obor friction. Officials of the administratidn say that General Blanco has not yet made an official statement of the number of Spanisli soldiers who wfill have to be transported to Spain, but the understanding is that the total will be between 110,000 and 125,000. Thus far there have been no scenes of disorder in or around Havana that have been called to the attention of the commissioners. Impatient Cubans are crowding hard on the Spaniards, and that collisions between them will occur may be taken for granted. General Blanco appears able to hold his soldiers under fair control and to be earnestly against the perpetration of outrages. This may be because wholesale destruction of lives and property would be a blow directed chiefly against people who have remained steadfastly loyal to Spain throughout the entire war. However this may be and whatever the motive, it can be said that the arm of the ruthless Spanish soldier has been stayed, and down to date there has been little wanton destruction of property by the soldiers who are soon to leave the island for their native country.

ADDRESS TO THE CUBAN ARMY. Miinmo Recount* the Work of the United State* in Freeing: the Island. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Senor Quesada, of the Cuban Junto, has received a copy of an address to the Cuban army issued by President Masso, of the Cuban Republic. It announces to the army of liberation the end of the struggle carried on “in these heretofore rich but now devastated fields, before all the world between dignity and injustice,” and compliments the insurgents on their fealty to the cause of liberty. Continuing, the address says: “The United States of North America, from the moment the cry of Feb. 14 w r as given, rose alarmed, casting its eyes across the small sea which separates us toward this bloody and agitated land. Moved by our convulsions, the United States could not continue to live the pleasant life wfiiich their prosperity guarantees them,and whicli other countries, indifferent to our misfortunes have continued to live. The United States gave in their cities hospitality to our people, in their manufactories cur rifles were made; from their shores came numerous expeditions; their press with immense and constant clamor called for justice, praising our triumphs, publishing our sufferings, encouraging us with their sympathy and promise of help while it protested against and condemned the atrocities of Spain. American diplomacy drove the infamous Weyler out and terminated the criminal policy of concentration; the United States have continued their great work of humanity and justice, sacrificing their own peace, offering their own treasure and giving their own noble blood, constituting itself the executioner of their verdict by which the empire of Spain is forever extinguished in the Antilles and Cuba becomes sovereign in the enjoyment of her independence. “Every Cuban heart, therefore, instead of bitterness and sorrow must he proud of having done its duty and g.ateful to its protector. And the army of the revolution should alsfo receive the congratulations of the rising I republic; it deserves our boundless gratitude. The government council, therefore, salutes the Cuban soldier, who has been a model of abnegation and heroism; it has shown a perseverance equal to its bravery. "The American people, our ally of yesterday, our host of to-day, our iriend always. is contemplating Cuba and will witness our constitution. Let Cuba be worthy of herself and sue will be worthy of the friendship of the United States. The Cuban army will do its part; it has fought under the motto embodying our ideals—country and liberty. We have at last a country and will deserve liberty. Our love for Cuba will cause us to have little trouble in establishing a calm present harbinger of a prosperous future. Neither interest nor hatred were the motives which impelled; us to this war. No one who gives up his home and suffers hardships and misery is capable of such baseness. The Cuban flag so gallantly defended and stainless will not be in the hour of peace soiled with crime or violence or revenge. The good judgment and magnanimity of the Cubans will gain for them the admiration of the world. They will deserve a place in history, for they will have seen their w’ork accomplished and their country redeemed and triumphant.” Sampson Views Havana. HAVANA, Sept. 16.—Admiral Sampson and his staff came ashore this morning and drove around the town. No official business has yet been undertaken and no sessions of the commission have been held.

ABANDONING OUTPOSTS * SPANISH TROOPS IN PORTO RICO CONCENTRATING AT SAN JUAN. • Will Sail for Home a* Soon a* Transport* Are Provided—Diffienltle* Before Americans. * SAN JUAN, Island of Porto Rico, Seat. 16-—At their meeting yesterday the Spanish evacuation commissioners agreed to begin the formal withdrawal of their lines within two days. They will evacuate Lares, San Sebastian and Aguadillo. in the northwest of the island, withdrawing towards the :apital. Under the armistice they could not withdraw their outposts without permission. Detachments of tne Eleventh Infantry w-ill occupy this territory and raise the American flag. The abandonment of other outposts will follow. The Spanish commissioners understand perfectly that the evacuation of the islands must be in accordance with the terms of the protocol, as soon as transports can be procured. Transports from the fever-infected ports of Cuba cannot, they say, be used to convey uninfected troops from Porto Rico. The troops from Cuba and Porto Rico are to be landed at different ports in Spain. The Spanish authorities here cannot control the transports in this respect. They must await the pleasure of Madrid. The American commissioners realize the force of this argument, and they are willing to make reasonable concessions. More depredations are reported to have occurred in the neighborhood of Utuao. Several Spanish haciendas and cafetals have been burned and two Spanish planters killed. These outrages are attributed to the lower classes of the natives, actuated by a spirit of revenge and a lawless gang of brigands, which has been operating near Ciale. The Spanish planters are in fear of their lives and are anxious that the Americans gain control in order to afford them protection, as the United States is powerless now to preserve order in places within Spanish lines. Utuado is the first town in the island to possess officers chosen by the popular will. The details of the evacuation of the island were practically completed at a meeting of the commission held to-day, and all now depends upon the Madrid government placing transports at the disposal of Captain General Macias for the embarkation of the troops. Failure to send transports will embarrass the Spanish commissioners, but the American commissioners will probably not set an absolute time limit for the evacuation without instructions from Washington.

PROBLEMS IN PORTO RICO. Tank of Americanizing: the Island May Be Difficult. Correspondence of the Associated Press. SAN JUAN DE PUERTO RICO. Sept. 7. The American commissioners appointed to arrange the terms of evacuation of this island may encounter many problems difficult of solution, as it is the general impression here now that the Spanish commissioners, despite the professed anxiety of some of the highest Spanish officials to dispatch this work and relinquish control as soon as possible, will exercise their skill to secure every advantage. They are adepts at this kind of fencing and will get under our guard if such a thing is possible. While it is likely that General Brooke may have virtual control of this city within a few weeks it may be some time longer before the last vestige of Spanish authority is removed. In fact our commissioners now appear convinced that they will not be able to complete their work inside of five or six weeks. Just how the commission will proceed it will be impossible to guess until the two sets of commissioners meet. Their instructions are known only to themselves. Their functions are purely military and would seem to be limited, under the terms of tlie protocol, to arranging the details of evacuation and the transfer of all Spanish government property to the United States. At first blush this would seem a simple operation, necessitating only an inventory of the government property on the island as distinguished from the property of the provinces, the municipalities and towns, its transfer to the United States and the departure of the Spanish troops. But it is intimated that the Spanish authorities, possibly for their government, but more probably for themselves, hope to save something out of the wreck. Just how they expect to do this passes comprehension, but those w ho are in the counsels of the past assert that they will be able to do so. The cession of the island to the United States carries with it all public property, fortifications, buildings, lands, etc.; but there is an intimation that the Spanish will demand compensation for guns mounted in fortifications, if these are to remain, and in a lazy sort of way for other things. It is pretty safe to assume that the instructions of cur commissioners hold them strictly to the text of the protocol and that any claim made by Spain must go to the Paris commission for adjustment. Under the instructions the. Spanish commissioners will receive—or have received—they can of course raise any questions they’desire. It is with the evacuation our commissioners have to do. "Whatever is left will be turned over to the American authorities. The examination of government titles wall be a laborious work. In addition to the regular government property, fortifications, buildings, railroads and telegraphs, the Spanish government owns, or did own some buildings used as residences of officials, semi-public property, and a considerable amount of crown land. Some of this land is situated in San Juan and is very valuable. There are tracts in other parts of the island. Should it be fountain the future that any of this property has been sequestrated or deeded recently to private individuals the deeds might be questioned; but these would probably be matters for the courts or for some civil commission to adjust later. When the island passes under civil administration it would be possible for the government of the United States to create quite a school fund for the people of the island by the sale of the lands now owmed by the government. And if Congress should decide that it was expedient to continue the ownership of the railroads and telegraphs, these, if not sold to the highest bidder, could also be turned over to the territorial government. United States Consul Hanna, who left the island w T hen war was declared, and who, since the landing of our army at Ponce, has been there, has returned to the consulate here. He was here when the autonomist scheme for Porto Rico was inaugurated by General Macias, and he is a firm believer in the ability of the people here to govern themselves. Although the autonomy granted w T as a delusion and a snare, in that the government of Spain retained the balance of power, he says the people, at the only election held, displayed the greatest interest as well as intelligence. The election was as quiet and orderly as one in the United States. The only session of the autonomist legislature was held on July 16. It simply met, and, under the influence of the Spanish authorities, voted a war credit. With an equitable svstem of taxation in which all shared alike the condition of the people here must inevitably improve rapidly. The taxes raised to support the military and civil establishments of tlie island, with the enormous corruption incidental to Spanish administration everywhere, were even more oppressive than they would hate been had they been levied equitably. But it was notorious that Spaniards having influence paid little, wflfile others. with an equal amount of taxable property, were oppressed in some cases almost to the point of confiscation. A native Porto Rican who owns a large sugar plantation on the south side of the island has for years been compelled to pay from $15.00 to $20,000 in taxes, while a Spaniard with a iargei plantation adjoining has paid less than OXI. But the most oppressive taxes are those wrung from industry. Licenses must he paid in order to work; licenses to sell the products of labor and licenses to buy. The markets here which should be filled with vegetables and fruit are almost a waste of stalls because of the inability of the truck farmers to pay the licenses necessary to enable them to get their products to market. Joke on the Doctor. Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph. Several years ago a physician, who is well known in this city, had a patient on whom he thought he could realize a little money in uddition to his professional fee. The man was in a critical condition, and in the doctor’s opinion could not live for more tiuin a low weeks at the most, pad

no Immediate relative?, and, having several thousand dollars insurance on his life, the patient offered it to the doctor if he would pay the premiums as they became due. The physician consulted an attorney, stated the case, and assured him that the man was not long for this world. The result was that the two agreed to pay the money on the insurance from month to month. They doled out the money, and as each premium went by. the patient seemed to improve as if a weight were lifted off his shoulders. Instead of sinking into the grave he became convalescent. The doctor was puzzled, the lawyer impatient. They have been paying premiums for the past four years, and cannot withdraw or all they have put in wall be lost. The patient has never fully recovered, but is able to enjoy life with a zest that ought to be felt by a man who can beat a doctor and a lawyer at their own game. WINTER CAMPS. (Conclnrteil from First Fnjre.) of pleasure from the pain-furrowed brow of the sick when something is given with the words, ‘Take this: it wiil do you good.’ or ‘Use this; it was sent from home,’ it would repay the givers a hundred fold for all their trouble and expense. Only heaven’s recording angel with a pen divinely inspired could picture the want, the suffering and sickness of cur soldiers on this island. Our sick in this hospital when they have received the much needed delicacies sent from America have never failed to cheer up as though there were tonic in the mere fact of the gift, and seldom do they fail to say with sparkling eyes, ‘God bless the dear people at home.’ ORLANDO DUKER. “Surgeon in Charge.” The hospital In question has been established cn a.n island in Santiago harbor about two miles from the city. The letter quoted states that conditions have greatly improved during August, but there is stili much need of delicacies, such as can only be had through the kindly contributions from the States. Yellow fever has been less a scourge than had been expected, the death late being held down to 12 per cent., but typhoid has proved deadly, chiefly owing to the impossibility of obtaining the light nourishment so necessary in the treatment of the disease. Trial of n Kansan Concluded. CAMP MEADE, Middletown, Pa„ Sept. 16.—The testimony in the case of Lieut. Wise, of the Tw'enty-second Kansas, was concluded to-day. Wise testified in his own defense that Lieutenant Morgan had ordered the soldiers to dig at Manassas, Va„ for relics and that the men did not know they were despoiling the graves of Confederate soldiers. Morgan denied giving such orders, although several other witnesses corroborated the story of Wise. The verdict in the Morgan case has not been made public. The movement of troops from camp to the South to prepare for garrison duty in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines will begin early in October. The corps will have been established and in good working order by that time. The Seventh Ohio Regiment, which has received orders to muster out, has been removed to the southern end of the camp. Must Accept Pay from a Negro. WASHINGTON. Sept. 16.—Paymaster General Stanton has turned over to the President all the papers relating to the recent unpleasantness growing out of the refusal of a Texas regiment to receive pay from Major Lynch because he is colored. The President has taken no definite action beyond expressing approval of General Stanton's course in sending a sharp dispatch to the commanding paymaster of that department, stating in effect that as Major Lynch had been regularly commissioned by the President as an army paymaster, the troops must take their pay from him or else go without pay. Thus the matter stands, with the papers before the President. There is the possibility that anew question may arise on the point of insubordination in refusing to receive pay from paymasters regularly commissioned to make payments.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—The War Department has directed that the Mauser rifles, about 9,000 in number, which were brought to New York, having been captured from the Spanish troops in Cuba, be turned over to the Ordnance Department. The latter in turn ordered them shipped to the armory at Springfield, Mass. There they will be thoroughly overhauled, and, if possible, placed in order, either for the use of our own troops, or for sale, it having been represented that as souvenirs of the war, these weapons probably would, if offered at public sale, bring a price more than sufficient to compare to an equal number of new Krag-Jorgensens, and thus avoid the difficulty of having two kinds of ammunition in the army.

A Hegiment of Heroes. CHICAGO, Sept. 16.—The Fourth United States Infantry, Major Stephen Baker commanding, arrived in Chicago to-day over the Lake Shore road.

Again fate has dealt a heavy blow to the houses of Hapsburg and Wittelsbach, adding another sorrow to that heavy burden which has borne down to despair the ancient rulers of Austria and Bavaria. The spirit of tragedy seems to have marked tfiem for its ow'n and to have played with them in order to drive its lessons deep into the hearts of men. The fate of the Empress of Austria is but the climax of a life overflowing with heart burning and tragedy. Chief of the recent tragedies of the house of Hapsburg was the supposed suicide in 1889 of the Archduke Rudolph Francis Charles Joseph, son of the Emperor and heir to the throne, the one on whom all the hopes of the imperial house had rested. This affair is now known as the Meyeriing drama. Several versions of the tragedy have been given out, but the facts in tne case probably never will bei known to any one outside the royal house. ' The archduke was deeply infatuated with the charms of the Baroness Vetcera, a beautiful young girl, who returned his love. He wished to be united to her by morganatic marriage, but his father would not allow it. On the evening of Jan. 29 the archduke met the baroness in a gamekeeper's house not far from the castle of Meyerling. In the morning both were found dead, lying side by side. It was asserted that the baroness had taken poison and that the prince had shot himself. Another story is to the effect that a forester went to the house where the prince was staying in order to ask the gamekeeper for some instructions regarding the hunt that was to take place. He knotted loudly at the door. A window was opened and a man jumped out and ran away. The forester aimed and fired. The fugitve fell, and when the forester walked up to him he recognized. to his horror, the crown prince, who had fainted. Th.e shot had entered the prince’s shoulder. The forester called for help, and, with the assistance of a man who ran to his aid. carried the prince into the gamekeeper's house. The baroness, seeing the prince in a faint and bleeding from a wound, imagined that he was dead. She immediately tcjgk up her traveling bag and pulled out a phial. Before she could be prevented she drank its contents and fell der.d upon the floor. Sqon afterward the crown prince came to and was taken by his own orders to the Castle of Meyeriing. Here he ordered his valet from the room into which he had been carried, and here he placed a pistol to his head and fired a fatal shot. Letters of the prince and of the baroness, found after the tragedy, tend to disprove this version, and indicate a premeditated suicide on the part of both parties. Then there were several witnesses who declared that they had seen the bodies of the prince and the baroness lying side by side immediately after the tragedy. A man by the name of Johann Tranquilein, known by the sobriquet of “Baron Schau,” who died on Ward’s island after a career of dissipation in the United States, asserted that he drove the crown prince to Meyeriing on the day of the tragedy, and told a very different story of the prince’s death. He said that he drove the prince and a jolly party of friends to Meyeriing. No women were in the party. Supper was served in the Castle of Meyeriing. and during the festivities the Baroness Vetcera suddenly made her entrance into the supper room and with flashing eyes asked the prince if it was true that he had renounced her. The prince, after a silence, answered that his father would allow no further relations between himself and the baroness. The latter then drew a revolver and fired at Rudolph. The ball wounded him but slightly, and he caught the Infuriated woman in his arms. She managed, however, to turn the pistol against herself and inflicted a mortal wound. A relative of the baroness then sprang up and brought a champagne bottle with all his might upon the head of the prince, who sank upon the floor and died. The lovers w'ere then laid side by side upon a couch, and all the witnesses to the scene were sworn to secrecy. The court, of course, hushed up tho affair as much as possible, and so the story of the prince’s taking off has never been authoritatively told. Another cruel blow to the Hapsburgs was the death of Maximilian I of Mexico, who gave up the command of the Emperor’s navy in order to found an imperial throne. The overthrow of the alien ruler and his execution by these whom he had tried to subdue are matters of history. Added to this was the insanity of his wife, the Empress Carlotta, and the scandal attaching to the spending of her fortune by another royal personage. The disappearance of the Archduke John after he had contracted a marriage w'ith a pretty little Austrian singer was another cause of grief. He had been one of the brilliant members of the Hapsburg family, but his waywardness led to the taking away of his titles. He would not bow to the Emperor, and finally, when he had been banished from the court, he bought a merchant vessel and started out in life for himself. The vessel is supposed to have been lost at sea. A kindred soul was Archduke Henry, youngest son of the late Archduke Rainier, viceroy of Lombardy. He was a general in the army, and while stationed at Gratz he made the acquaintance of Fraulein Hofmann, a singer at the theater, with a monthly salary of fifty florins. Sh„e was by no means a great singer. Her last role was that of Pamela, in “Fra Diavolo,” but she was pretty, quick-witted, the very type of a Viennese girl, and, above all. irreproachable in her conduct and manners. The archduke paid court to her. and when he was obliged to take the field in Italy he promised that he would marry her If his fife was spared, and this promise he faithfully kept. The Emperor stormed, fumed and did all in his power to reclaim the prodigal, but all his efforts were in vain. Archduke Henry had vowed to be true to Fraulein Hofmann, and not ail the powers in Christendom could persuade him to abandon her. All Francis Joseph could do was to deprive the archduke of his military rank and expatriate him. The marriage took place on Feb. 4, IS6B. and not until ISS9 did the Emperor show any signs of relenting. In the latter year he allowed the archduke to present his wife and daughter to him, and thus the family quarrel was ended. The troubles of the imperial house were enlarged after the death of Prince Rudolph by the difficulty of finding a successor to the Emperor. Charles Luis, his brother, was regarded as weak, morally and intellectually, though endowed with low cunning. He did not seem the one that could gra,sp the problems of the Austro-Hungary empire. He resigned his claims in favor of his son Francis Ferdinand, however, and thus removed one embarrassment only to bring on another, for Francis Ferdinand. It is feared is ignorant, deficient alike in heart and head. Scandal has followed him throughout Austria and Hungary. Tn Spain has been found another cause for gloom. There the Queen Regent, daughter of the Emperor Francis Joseph, has been compelled to see the fairest portion of the heritage of her son taken away and has lived in fear that the Spanish people themselves would rise against her and sweep her and her child from an power. These are sum" of the things which embittered the, days of Francis Joseph, and which brought into the life of the Empress Elizabeth much of the sorrow which weighed her down in her late years.

Wanted Open Confession. Kansas City Journal. Dr. Leech, the kissing Atchison preacher, has a card in the local paper in which he says: “The report that I once kissed a married lady of my church is a vile falsehood that would never have been made but for my present trouble. I shall be glad to have any such woman state the facts over her own signature in the Globe.” The Idea that a woman who had been kissing a preacher under the rose might be willing to print the story over her own signature in a newspaper reminds us of the manner in which old Jim Lane once vindicated himself from the charge of being too frolicsome with the ladies. He was addressing a big open air meeting in Topeka and said: “They churge me with these women stories. If there is a woman in this audience between whom and myself there have been undue familiarities I wish she would rise in her place and confront these despicable accusers.”
