READFIELD FAIR Wakes New Record for Second Day’s Attendance. Sreat Interest in Baby Show—Judges Have Their Troubles. Soad Racing Throughout Afternoon—Com. Dewey Again a Winner. Read field, Me., Sept. 14.—(Special.)— The beautiful weather of the opening day was duplicated, Wednesday, and the crowds poured into the grounds un til the officers smiled and voted it the best second day that the society ever had. Yes, the people come from far and near. They were pleased with the show and were even surprised to see what a big fair it really was. The show itself wa3 interesting. Something of interest was going on all the time and when night came everybody was of the opinion that one of the best shows ever held in this part of the State was now in progress at the Read field fair grounds. There were plenty of attractions, to day. The showing of the prize equities was a feature. The baby show had the usual attractions of a real live baby show, and the horse trotting was aa good as any ever seen at the fair. The track was a little slow but the horses were fast enough to make up thoj dlf erenc-e and the way they did freed around the track with all its ups and downs did the old timer good. Commodore Dewey was on deck. He met with a great ovation. The real commodore was for several reasons un able to attend the fair but bis name sake came instead' and he had the best there was, prizes and all. The horse is a favorite wherever he rocs and he shows his appreciation by winning races. If he didn’t he wquld have to have his name changed for the general public cannot imagine any thing named Dewt# to be ought but a winner. The ladies race was also a feature. It isn’t anything new but it has the same interest and uniqueness as it did the first time it was tried at Pittsfield. Sftpie of the o-ld horsemen became al most jealous, today,’ to see how much speed a feminine driver can get out of a horse. The equine seems to like his gentle driver and so he lets himself out, acts well but goes at a fast steady clip. There is one fault with the races and that is the wait between heats. It was altogether too long, today. Long waits tend to deaden the interest even of a good horse race and they should be done away with as much as possible. The following people were noticed by the Journal at the grounds, today: Mr. and Mrs. William A. Reid. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Getchell, Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Flynt, Frederick Fogg, Harrj* Good rich, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Millikon, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Reid, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. White, Isaac Bennett, all of Au gusta: Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Dudley. Hallowell; Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Tibbetts, Augusta: Mrs. D. D. Flynt of Dexter. THE BABY SHOW. The baby'show was the bes t thing of the fair. There were eight of them. They all looked alike and the humorous play, "My Boys,” was simply outclass ed. The young ideas were good look ing, in fact they were excellent speci mens of the past year’s crop. Now, for the general' individual, the I«ibicsi are not the best part of the show. ’Tis the fun that they cause. The one that wins first prize is marked for life. None of the other fond pa’s will ever vote for him for Governor. A baby show causes lots of trouble. A man carries a pig to the show. Whether he wins or not, he generally keeps liis mouth shut. If he doesn’t win he blames the pig not the judge. With imbies it is different. Neither mother or father can be lead to believe that any baby in the world is better looking than their own darling. This is not fiction, it is fact. The judges ire upbraided on every hand. Today, a judge was severely called down by both father and mother. He was told that their baby ought to have had the prize. "Everybody says so and it must be so,” said the man, assuming a wild, dangerous look. But to the babies. There were eight of them, and they won prizes as fol lows: Handsomest baby, Elvie, 11 mont'h-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Healley of Wintfirop; fattest baby, Harry, 6-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Gay, Readfleld: _ small est baby, Isabella, 7-month-old baby, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Gilbert. North Fay ette. The pair of twins of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Bean of Readfleld, were granted a gratuity. The judges were J. M. Cross of Au gusta and H. L. Hunt on of Oakland. THE HORSES. The examination of horses1 and colts took place in the forenoon and resulted in the appearance of some very fine looking animals. Sir Rogers, by Haley, a 2-year-old. dark bay with black points, owned by Harry R. LIshness of Augusta, was considered to be one of the best speci mena of equine perfectness on1 the grounds. This colt ‘has been at four fairs and in. every instance has' worn the blue ribbon home. At Lewiston, as a yearling, he literally distanced' all competitors and. again, this year, as1 a 2-year-old he duplicated the trick. His dam is Msiggie Mitchell, she by Guy Independence, and he by Old In dependence. In the afternoon, he was shown in front of the grand stand and his almost perfect symmetry was at once noticed by the crowds who gave him an ovation; Jennings Harriman have a 4 y __ (Continued on page 3.)

This change in Winthrop halt gives Bowdoin throe practically new dormitories, Appleton hall having been remodeled, summer lie fore last. The hard' wood finish in Main hall was painted over, last summer, giving the rooms a pleasanter appearance than the dark wood. There have only been two or three changes in the faculty, this fall, the most important of which is the secur ing of Mr. Harry Be-Forcst Smith as assistant professor in ancient lan guages. Cassius C.

The Town Arouse] by the Explosion—A Posse in Hot Pursuit. Washburn, Mr., Sept. 14.—(Special).— Not for manyyears has this quiet little hamlet in Northern Aroostook been so excitetl as it now is and all on account of a bold break into the post office, Wednesday morning. at 1.40, by three robbers and their securing $3000 worth of stamps, notes and cash from the post office and store of J. L.. Woodman. The positive identity of the men has not been discovered at the present time of writing but nearly the whole male portion of the town’s population is scouring the woods and roads towards Presque Isle and the capture of the desperadoes is almost assured, for they were on foot and the general direction which they took when they left town is known. Vp here the good people retire early in the evening, as is the wont of most of the people in the small towns of the State. As a rule there is toothing to disturb their slumbers and they sleep peacefully through the entire night un til the light of a new day awakens Under these circumstances the com motion can more readily lie imagined than diseribed when at 1.40 the air was pierced by a tremendous explosion which sounded louder than it really would have in a larger place. The whole town nearly was awakened by the explosion and heads began to pop out of windows to see what was up. Those in the immediate vicinity of the store could see three men hurrying away from the post oflice with their pockets stufled. They started toward Presque Isle. It was some few moments before the people realized what had happened but as soon as they did there was a mad rush for their clothes and guns and searching parties were rapidly organ ized to scour the woods and apprehend the robbers. Nearly the whole town turned out. and had the robbers returned they could have gotten much more booty, for all the arips were out in the woods and the woitiVn were practically un protected. Tkpj-, however, kept their doors and windows locked and in many eases the nervous ones trembled in the corners’, not knowing what to expect. Even after daybreak at the approach cf any strangers there would be a great deal of anxiety until they had passed or their business was satisfactorily ex plained. The robbers evidently knew their business as there was no bungling in preparing the fuse with Which to blow open the safe containing the valuables. The explosion was a success and the robbers hurriedly took what they could lay their hands on and started to evade pursuit. At last reports they were supposed to he in the woods near here, but many think they have been successful in get ting away and have made for some sta tion on the railroad, separately and have escaped. If they have been able to get out of the reach of the town offi cials it is improbable that any of the goods will be recovered unless they at tempt to negotiate some of the notes. The robbers took in stamps, $221.13; money belonging to the United States. $50.07: pensions checks, $240; town or ders of Washburn, $125; notes, $1500; other cash, about $50; two registered letters (contents unknown); and about $1000 in notes belonging to other parties placed in the safe for safe keeping. 1st MAINE CAVALRY Being Handsomely Entertained at Bucksport at 28th Annual Reunion. Bucksport, Mo., Sept. 14.—Bucksport is entertaining the gallant veterans of the 1st Maine Cavalry. Some 125 mem bers of the association with their wives and daughter, arrived on Wednesday, for the two days’ session of the 2Sth annual reunion.

Ably Supported throughout by All His Officers sod Men. Washington, Sept. 14.—Gen. Shafter’s report of the campaign which termi nated in the fall of Santiago has been made public. He briefly recounts the organization for the expedition and its embarkation and then devotes the re mainder of his report to the operations about Santiago. Gen. Shafter says the exhibition was undertaken with com plications of telegraphic instructions of May 20 from headquarters of the army in which it was stated: “Admiral Schley reports that two cruisers and two torpedo boats have been seen in the harbor of Santiago. Go with your force to capture garrison and assist In capturing harbor and neat.” The report gives in detail the troops assembled at Tampa. The cavalry was dismounted because of lack of trans portation for the animals and because it was believed that mounted cavalry could not operate efficiently near San tiago. This, Gen. Shafter says was subsequently found correct. After reciting the delay at Tampa due to inadequate facilities, Gen. Shaf ter says that, June 7, he recieved or ders to sail without delay but not with less than 10,000 men. After some of Liitr uanBpuus nuu iuit'uuy rearneci me lower bay, telegraphic instructions were received from the secretary of war di recting that the sailing of the expe dition be delayed waiting further or ders. The delay was occasioned by the navy reporting that a Spanish war ves sel had been sighted in the Nicholas channel. The ships in the lower bay were immediately recalled. The expedition sailed on June 14, with S15 officers and 16,072 men. Gen. Shatter briefly covers the trip and landing and his first meeting with Gen. Garcia, adding: “During the interview Gen. Garcia offered the services of his troops com prising about 4000 men in the vicinity of Asseradores and about 500 under Gen. Castillo at the little‘town of Cu j aba bo, a few miles east of Baiquira. I accepted his offer, impressing upon him that I could exercise no military control over him except such as he would concede and as long as he served under me I would furnish him ration? and ammunition.” ’After conferring with Admiral Samp son and Gen. Garcia, the plan of cam paign was outlined by Gen. Shafter. The disembarkation was to commence on the 22nd at Daiquiri, with feints by the Cubans at Cabanas, and by the navy at various shore points, in order to mislead the enemy as to the place of landing. “These movements,” Gen. Shafter says, “committed me to approaching Santiago from the east over a narrow road, at first in some places not better than a trail, running from Daiquiri through Siboney and Sevilla, and mak ing an attack from that quarter. This, in my judgment, was the only feasible plan and subsequent information and results confirmed my Judgment." Of the early operations and the skir mish in whic-li the Hough Hillers par ticipated, the report says: “Gen. Young’s brigade passed beyond Lawton on the night of the 23d-24th. thus taking the advance and an the morning of the latter date, became en gaged with a Spanish force entrenched 'in a strong position at La Guasiiama, a point on the Santiago road about there miles from Siboney. Gen. Young's force consisted of one squad ron of the 1st Cavalry, one of the 10th Cavalry and two of the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry, in all 964 offl cers ana men. "The enemy made an obstinate resis tence, but were driven from the field with considerable loss. Our own loss was one officer and IS men killed, six officers and 46 men wounded. The re ported loss of Spaniards was 9 killed and 27 wounded. The engagement had an inspiring effect upon our men and, doubtless, correspondingly depressed the enemy, as it was now plainly de monstrated to them that they had a foe to meet who would advance upon them under a heavy tire delivered from en trenchments. "Gen. Wheeler, division commander, was present during the engagement, and reports! that our troops, officers and men fought with the greatest gallantry. This engagement gave us a well water ed country further to the front, on which to encamp our troops.” The report continues: It was not until nearly two weeks after the army landed that it was pos sible to place on shore three days’ sup plies in excess of those required for the daily consumption. “On June 30, I reconnoitered the country about Santiago and made my pian of attack. Prom a high hill from which the city was In plain view, I could see the San Juan hill and the country about El Caney. The roads were very poor and indeed little bettter than bridle paths until the San Juan river and El Caney were reached." Gen. Shatter explained at a meeting of generals his plans of battle: Law ton's division assisted by Capron’s light battery was OTdered to move out during the afternoon, toward El Caney to begin the attack there, eaTly the next morning. After carrying El Ca» ney, Lawton was to move by the Caney road toward Santiago and1 take posses sion on the right of the line. Wheeler’s division of dismounted cavalry and Kent s division of infan tty were direc THEY HAVE CLUES. Light About to Dawn on the Bridgeport, Ct., Murder. Most Startling Sensation Is Prom ised Before Many Hours. Hie Various Attcmfts al IlcMification Co Far Prove Futile. Bridgeport, Conn., Sopt. 14.—This has been another day of mystery in the ease of the woman whose remains were found in Yellow Mill pond. The police certainly have clues upon which they are working, 'but for reasons which are good and sufficient, refuse to divulge the nature of any of them. It has been reported that certain parties were under some suspicion, but the police say those stories are un founded and those circulating them are entirely on the wrong track. But that certain ones are under sus picion is evident from the motions of the police and at any moment is likely to be prolific of developments of a most startling nature. The police, tonight, are working on some clew, hut whether or not It will prove of a definite character, they can only toll. It was) confidentially reported in some of the outside pa pets, yesterday, that the woman was Rachel Warner, a nurse. That was the opinion of Dr. A. A. Holmes of this city. After stating that he thought the' face of the mur dered woman resembled Mrs. Warner, he left for Maine on his vacation. A reporter who stet out to investigate Dr. Holmes’ claims, proved that H-achel Wtinur vv.m nllvp Tnr>i/K.ntoii-v on. other clue was discovered. The residence of Mrs. Jeremiah Mey ers, who lives at 243 Myrtle avenue, where Mrs. Warner has rooms when she Is In the city. was. visited. Mrs. Meyers and her sister. Miss Mary Wal- 4 lace, who is visiting: the former from New York City, said that they had Just come from tile morgue and had examined the countenance thoroughly and it was not the body of Mrs. War ner. It seems in the first place that Dr. Holmes had said that he thought it was Mrs. Warner. Mrs. Meyers on hearing this, told the reporter that probably the doctor had made a mistake in the two nurses that had helped him on ft case on Broad street a couple of weeks ago. One of them was. Mrs. Warner, the other stopped at the residence oT Dr. H. Adeline Thompson on Womt street. X. Dr. Thompson said there was a nurse who had stopped at her residence a couple of weeks ago, but she was not there now. Her name was Miss Mary Rourke. The nurse who helped Dr. Holmes and Mrs. Warner on the ease on Broad street was Miss Brawla. who is now engaged at Varuna HaU taking care of the sick soldiers. The doctor had Just returned from the morgue, and' she said' there was a striking resemblance In the face of some one she had known, but could not exactly place it. When asked of it re sembled Miss Rourke, she could 'not say. It was some face she had Been before and come to think of It, the re semblance to Miss Rourke was strik ing. Miss Jennie R. Ter hone, a graduate of the Bridgeport hospital, who was at the office, was called, and she described the features of Miss Rourke. It tal lied exactly with that of the one at the morgue. In company with a few oth ers, she viewed the body but could not say whether it was the face of Mies Rourke or not. Others who knew Miss Rourke also visited the morgue and said that the resemblance was very striking, but would not positively say whether it was the woman in question. Dr. Thompson has a picture of Miss Rourke, which resembled the face at the morgue very much. Through a call front Dr. Pekin of New Milford. Miss Rourke went to the latter place about three weeks aim. iic nas a urotner in this city who hi4‘ not heard from her since the first of September. When the latter was con sulted, this morning:, about the matter, lie said there was nothing: to the rumor and that It was not his sister at the morgue, although he had not been there to make sure. He was requested to go to the morgue, yesterday, by Drr* Thompson, the latter thinking therf»?N would i*e no harm for him to go and clear the matter up, as there was so many who thought it was Miss Jtourke at first glance. In talking the doctor said: "As you look down upon the hair for the first time, it appears to be brown, hut to look at it to the light It has a reddish tinge. These facts I think should bo made known. I cannot help but think that the crime was not committed at Bridgeport. I rather think from obser. i at ion that the deed was done by some medical student as no one without ex perience could have done such a neat piece of work. I have worked upon a lissecting table myself and U looked as though the whole think had been done with a student’s knife and with a stu tent's hands. Meadows End Is a very tough spot, and I have no doubht but what the crime win be traced to one of these summer resorts." In tracing up the different clews, the reporter ran across a man that is well known in this city. For several rea *°"8 ,he *oe* nt want his name pub lished. He said: “My sister went to New Haven, Monday evening, and :ame home, Tuesday morning, arriv ing here about 1.30. She was brought lome In a hack.

SNAFTER’S REPORT A (Continued from pose 1 ted' on the Santiago road, the head of the column resting near El Peso, toward which, heights Qrlmea’ Battery moved on the afternoon of the 30th, •With orders to take position thereor. early the next morning, and at the proper time prepare the way for the advance of Wheeler and Kent on San Juan hill. The attack at this point was to be delayed until Lawton's guns were heard at El Caney and his Infantry fire showed he had become well en gaged. "The preparations were far from what-I desired them to be but we were In a sickly climate; our supplies had to be brought forward by a narrow wagon road which the rains might at ahy* time render Impassable; fear was entertained that a storm might drive the Vessels containing our stores to sea, thus separating us from our base of supplies, and lastly It was reported that Gen. Pando with 9000 reinforce menst for the enemy were en route from Manzanillo and might be expected in a few days. Tinder these circum stances I determined to give battle without delay. "Early on the morning of July 1. I.nw ton was In a position around El Caney, Chaffee’s brigade on the right, across the Guantanamo road. Miles’ brigade in the center and Ludlow’s on the e-lift. The duty of cutting oft the enemy’s retreat along the Santiago road was assigned to the latter brigade. "The artillery opened on the town at 6.1G A. M. The battle here soon became general and was hotly cemtested. The enemy’s position was naluruly strong and was rendered more- so by block houses. a stone fort and intrenchments cut In solid rock and the loopholelng of a solidly built stone church. The oppo sition offered by the enemy was greater than had been anticipated and prevented Lawton from joining the right of the maln line during the day, as had been Intended. After the battle had continued for some time, Bates' Brigade or two regiments renrhf.it inv headouarters at Silainey. 1 directed him to move near LI aney to give assistance if necessary. lie did so and was put in position between Miles and Chaffee. “The battle continued wit.* varying in tensity during most of the day and un til the place was carried by assault about 4.80 P. M. AS the Spaniards endeavored to retreat along the Santiago road, Lud low’s iMisition enabled him to do very effective work and to practically cut off all the retreat in that direction. “After the battle at Kl Oaney was well opened and the lire of the small arms led us to believe that Lawton was driv ing the enemy back before him I di rected Grime's Battery to open fire from the heights of El Peso on the San Juan blockhouse, which could be situated in the enemy’s intrenchments, extending along the crest of San Juan hill. This Are was effective and the enemy could he seen running away from the vicinity of the blockhouse. “The artillery fire from El Peso was soon returned by the enemy’s artillery. They evidently had the range of this hill and their first shells killed and wounded several men. As the Spaniards used smokeless powder, it was very diffi cult to locate the position of their pices, while on the contrary, the smoke caused by our black powder plainly indicated the position of our battery. “At this time tin* cavalry division un der Gen. Sumner, who was lying con cealed In the general vicinity of the El Poso house, was ordered forward with directions to cross the San Juan river and deploy to the right on the Santiago side, while Kent’s division was to follow closely In its rear and deploy to the left. “These troops moved forward in com pliance with orders, hut the road was so narrow as to render It impracticable to retain the column of fours formation at all, while the undergrowth on either aide Was so dense as to preclude the possibility of deploying skirmishers. It v naturally resulted that the progress made was slow and the long range rifles of the enemy’s infantry killed and wounded a number of our men while marching along this road and before there was any Opportunity to return this fire. “At this time Gens. Kent and Sumner were ordered to push forward with all possible haste and place their troops in position to engage the enemy. Gen. Kent, With this end in view forced the head of his column along side of the cavalry column as far as the narrow trail per mitted and thus hurried his arrival at the San Juan and the formation beyond that stream. “A few hundred yards before reach ing the San Juan, the road forks, a fact that wus discovered by Lieut. Pol. x>erby of my staff, who had approached well to t'he front in a war balloon. This information he furnished to the troops, resulting In Sumner moving on the righl hand road, while Kent was enabled tc utilize the road to the left. ‘Xlen. Wheeler, the permanent comman der of the cavalry division, who had beer ill, came forward during the morning, ant later returned to duty and rendered most gallant and efficient service during tac remainder of the day. “After crossing the stream the cavalry moved to the right with a view of con i nectln^ with Lawton'* left when he could come up. atiu with their left resting near the Santiago road. “In the meantime Kent's division, witl the execution of two regiments of Haw kin*’ Brigade. Ining thus uncovered 1 moved rapidly to the front from thUring in-:?! lormuuou me Mi iinguiu rufTcrtil severely. While personally super Intending this movement, its commandir Hoi. WlkofT. was killed. The command o the brigade then devolved upon Idem Col. Worth. 3th Infantry, who was root severely wounded, ana next upon Idem Col. I.lwnm, 24th Infantry, who. 7 minute later, fell under the terrible lire of tin enemy, and tin command then devolve) upon Idem. Col. liwi rs. !hh Infantry. “While the formation just descrih.d wa taking place, tlen. Kent took measure to hurry forward his rear brigade. Th 10th and 2d Infantry were ordered to for ward Wikoff's Brigade, while the list wa sent on the right hand road to support th 1st Brigade. “Under Gen. llawkins who had i rosso, the stream and formed on the right of th division. The 2d anil loth Infantry. Col E. P. Pearson, commanding, moved for wanl In good order on the left of tli division, passed over a green knoll, tin drove the enemy back toward hi trenehes. "After completing their formation un der a destructive tire, and advancing short distance, both divisions found I their front a wide bottom, ill which ha been placed a barbed wire cntanglemer and beyoml which there was a high hil along the i rest of which the enemy wfa strongly posted. Nothing daunted, th gnllunt mi n passed on to drive the enem from his chosen position, both division losing heavily. In this assault. Co 'Hamilton. Idciits. Smith and Shipp wet killed anil Col.

Shatter follows In detail the move ments of the troops and the Intrenching done during the night. He says: "Qen. Duffleld. with the 33d Michigan attacked Aguaddres as ordered, but was unable to accomplish more than to detain the Spaniards In that v clnltv. _ "On the night of July i. I ordered Gen. Duffleld, at Slboney. to send forward the 34th Michigan and the »th 'Massachusetts, both of which had lust arrived from the United States. These regiments reached the scene the next morning. "All day on the 2d the battle raged with more or less fury, but such of our troops as were in. position at daylight held their ground, and Lawton gained a strong nnd commanding position on the right. About 10 P. M. the enemy made an assault to throw my lines, but he was repulsed at all points. "On the morning of the 3d. the battle was renewed, but the enemy seems to have expended his energy in the assault of the previous night and the tiring along the lines was desultory until stopped by my sending the following letter within the Spanish lines: (Gen. Shatter then* gives the dispatch passing between himself and Oen. Torai, which has been already published.) He proceeds: ”1 was of the opinion that the Span iards won,,, surrender if given a little time, and '1 thought this result wounl lie hastened if the men of their army could be made to understand that they would be well treated as prisoners of war. Acting upon this presumption. 1 determined to Offer to return all the wounded Spanish officers at E! Caney. who were able to bear transportation and who were willing •to give their paroles not to serve against the forces of the United States until reg ularly exchanged. "This offer was made and accepted. These officers, us well as several of the wounded Spanish privates, 27 In all. were sent to their lines under the escort of our mounted cavalry. Our troops wore re ceived with honors, and 1 have every rea son to believe that the return of the Spanish prisoners produced a good im pression on their comrades. "The cessation of bring about noon on the 3d. practically terminated the battle Of Santiago, and all that occurred after tills time may properly be treated under the head of the siege which followed. After deducting the detachments retained at Stbonev and Daiquiri to render these depots secure irom uiiacK. urKuuiKuiiuu» held to protect our thinks, others acting as escorts aiul guards to light batteries, the members of the hospital corps, guards left In charge of blanket rolls which tne intense heat caused the men to cast aside before entering the battle, orderlies, etc., it is doubtful if we had more than 12.000 men on the firing line. July 1, when the battle was fiercest, and when the impor tant and strong positions of El Caney and San Juan were capturtd. “A few' Cubans assisted in the attack at El Caney and fought valiantly, but their numbers' were too small to materially change the strength as above indicated. The enemy confronted us with numbers about equal to our own. they fought ob stinately in strong and intrenched posi tions. and the results obtained clearly in dicate the intrepid gallantry of the com pany officers and men and the benefits de rived from the careful training and in struction given in the company in recent years, in rifle practice and otner battle exercises. _ •*Our losses in those battles were 22 of ficers and 20S men killed; 81 officers and 12‘.3 mm wounded; missing. 79. The miss ing with few exceptions reported later.” (Jen. Shaffer says the arrival of Gen. Escario at Santiago was not anticipated. He say: ‘(Jon. Garcia, with between 4000 and 3000 Cubans was interested with the duty of watching for and intercepting the reinforcements. This, however, he failed to do, and Escario passed into the city along on my extreme right near the bay." After speaking of Admiral Oervera s sortie am! the destruction of his fleet, (Jen. Shafter says he again called on the Spanish commander to surrender. “On the same date 1 informed Admiral Sampson that if he would force las way into! the harbor the city would surrender without any further sacrifice of life. Commodore Watson replied that Admiral Sampson was temporarily absent,but that in nls (Watson’s) opinion, the navy should not enter the harbor. "The strength of the enemy’s position was such I did not wish to assault if ft could be avoided. An examination of the enemy’s works, made after the surrender, fully justified the wisdom of the course adopted. The intrenchments could only have been carried with great loss of life.” Gen. Shafter gives the varying efforts towards securing a surrender and his re opening the engagement on the 10th, when the truce ended. On the 11th, the sur render was again demanded. “By this date the sickness in the army was increasing very rapidly, as a result of exposure in the trenches to the intense j heat of the sun and the heavy rains. Moreover, the deaths in Cuba are almost equal to rains. The weakness of the troops was becoming so apparent, 1 was anxious to bring the selge to tin end, but in common with most of the officers of the army I did not think an assault would be justifiable, especially as the enemy seemed to be acting in good faith in their prelirTinary preparations to surrender. “July 12. I informed the Spanish com mander that Maj. Gen. Miles, com mand-in-chief of the American army, had just arrived in my camp, and requested him to grant us a personal interview on the following day. He replied he would he pleased to meet us. The interview took place on the 13th. and I informed him his surrender only could be .considered and that as he was without hope of escape he had no right to continue the fight.” Gen. Shafter then gives the details of the final surrender, his entry into the city and the raising of the American flag. In closing lie says; “Before closing my report 1 wish to dwell upon the natural obstacles I had to encounter and which no foresight could have overcome or ob viated. The rocky and precipitous coast roads were mere bridle paths, the effect of the tropical sun and rains upon un acclimated troops was deadly, and the dread of strange and unknown diseases had its effect on the army. “At Daiquiri, the landing of the troops and stores was made at a small wooden wharf which the Spaniards tried to burn but unsuccessfully, and the animals were pushed into the water and guided to a sandy beach about 200 yards in extent. At Hiboncy tin* landing was made on the beach and at a small wharf erected by the engineers. I had neither the time nor the meii to spare to construct permanent wharves. “In spite of the fact that I had nearly 1000 men continuously at work on the roads, they were at time* impassable for wagons. The San Juan and Aguadores rivers would of tin suddenly rise so as to prevent t'he passage of wagons, and then-the eight pack trains with the command had to be depended on for victualling my army as weil as the 20.000 refugees, who could not. in the interests of humanity, be left to starve while we had rations. "Often for days nothing could he moved except the pack trains. After the great physical strain and exposure of July 1 and 2, the malarial and other fevers began to rapidly advance throughout the command and on July 4. the yellow fever apjKured at 84honey. Though efforts were made to keep this fact from the army, it soon be came known. ‘The supply of quartermaster and com missary stores during the campaign was abundant. and notwithstanding the diffi culties in landing and transporting the rations, the troops on the firing line were at sill times supplied with its coarser com ponents. namely, of bread, meat, sugar and coffee. There was no hack of trans portation‘for at no time up to the surren der could alt the wagons 1 had be used. "In reference to the sick and wounded 1 have to soy that they received every attention that It was possible to give them. The medical officers without ex emption worked night and day to aUeviatf the suffering, which was no more thur invariably accompanies a campaign. 11 would have been, better if we hud had more ambulances, but as many were taken as was thought necessary, judging from previous campaigns. "The diseinline of the command wat superb and I wish to invite attention tc the fart that not an officer was brought to trial by court martial and, as far as I know, no enlisted man. This steaks eol umes for an army of this sl*e and in s campaign of such duration. "In conclusion I desire to express terseverence we would in the long run destroy Spanish domination; but we must acknowledge that an indefinite prolongation, of the struggle would have annihilated the little that was left of our wealth and population. The entrance upon the fitl.l of a powerful and decisive factor, upon which tve have always relied and toward which the hearts of all Cubans have always turned, has put an end to the horrors of war, to 'the benefit of all concerned. “This prompt solution we must ac knowledge we could never have ob tained. It is ]wroper to acknowledge the evident truth. That is the best title the United States has to our grat itude. “We are grateful. In nations, as well ns Individuals, gratitude Is ennobling, k is therefore the duty of this council to explain to the people of Cuba what, in its opinion, are our duties towards the United States and toward ourselves und what are the rules that ought to direct our conduct. "The people of the United States have all along appreciated the fact that the majority of people of Cuha is in agree ment with our peoples, for the motto ol the United States government has beer the same as our own, absolute indepen de nee for Cuba. Under these conditions, the Americans could not take a hostile attitude toward us or consider our au thority illegitimate and harmful to the welfare of the- Cuban people. "These considerations have convinced us that we should not dissolve and that the powers we have received from an as sembly elected- by the people under arms shoulel not vanish. On the- contrary, we feel that we should remain, as a nucleus and guide for those who have vested suei power In us. We have, therefore, dc-eldet to call together another assembly, whici will determine our future course." In conclusion the manifesto gives c number of reasons why the proposed as sembly stum Id be convened and some gov ernment or another chosen, “not with t'h ul8. 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0- 2- 7 Batteries—Wlllla and Bergen; (tame; Taylor and Clements.

Sept. 14.—The second day's session of the National Assoeia oin of Insurance Commissioners was devoted to the delivery of at/le addres ses, those at the morn'ing session being by Hon. Emory McClintock of New York, actuary of the Mutual Life Co. of ‘General Plans, Reserves and In vestments,” and Jacob L. Greene, ot Hartford, Conn., on "Special Features, Dividends, Surrender Values,” and an address by Judge W. S. Nichols of New Y ork. Mr. McClintock, in his address, said ihe subject given' him was exceedingly broad, embracing in fact the enfiri insurance field. "No life insurance company has ever yet successfully wound up its business affairs,” he said "and the successful life company njjis'i go on forever.” To succeed, the company must i pro mt gn' attractive plan of dperatlon The co-operation' plan was unquestion ably secure in his opinion because ii cannot fail to meet its obligations, al though .they are not as a rule, very large. The societies usually come to ar end, because they fail to ptesent1'ivt tractive features: old members bee.inn tlrtd of paying to keep up, and new members are hard to get because of the lack of attractive features. This remark, he said, was made foi the benefit of mutual Insurance com panies, which are anything but at ractive to old'liner insurance compan ies because they do not wish continued existence of mutual societies, an effort o crush which was made in the last Legislature in Wisconsin In the pro posed insuianee code which failed ol passage because the mutual societies got after it in the committee. In his paper, Mr. Greene, who is pres, ident of the Connecticut Mutual Lif, Co., dwelt upon mutual life insurance the test of which, he said, was its in tegrity. Mr. Greene’s paper was re ceived with hearty applause. The attendance, this morning, was larger than yesterday.

At the afternoon session, John R Hegenian, president of the Metropoli tan Insurance Co. of New York, dis cussed life insurance in all countries and more particularly in the Uniter States. Edwin 13. Warfield, presiden of the Fidelity and Deposit Co. of Bat timore, tcok for his subject: “Co-op orate Suretyship," and W. S.

They say that Blanco, who went to Hn van a poor, will return to Spain with a vast fortune. Ho resolutely declines to admit that the war was a failure or anything like It, so far as his own in terests were concerned. The statement that the war cost Spain $100,000,000, recalls the poker game in which a famous Texan figured. “It was awful," he said. “I lost $15,000, and the worst part of it was that five dollars was cash.” It would seem that the Spanish senator does not differ greatly from his American brother. He talks as freely over the discussions in the secret sittings over the protocol as the Ameri can senator over the proceedings of an i executive sessions-. Turkey has Hjeol, politely requested by the powers to move out of Crete. Evacuation seems to be the latest fashion, and it has been set for nations which misgovern their dependencies by the United States. The powers have evidently been struck by the American way of dealing with international nuisances. f General Gomez, in an interview given to tlie correspondent of a Havana paper, says his remedy for Cuba's dis tress is work. He desires to furnish work for all, and he asks all parties to unite in building up where they have been tearing down. His programme is peace, forgetfulness, morality, justice and work. The action of Governor Powers in nominating Railroad Commissioner Chadbuurne and Bank Examiner Tim berlake to succeed themselves for an other term1 in their respective offices 1 will be warmly commended through out the State.

The autumn of the almanac comes late being postponed until the 22d of the month, but the season of autumn ds at tyjind, and tt Is time to prepare for it. Intense interest has been excited in 'European diidoiuatic circles by news that a force of wlijle men has appeared at Pashoda, on the White Nile, about 4fl0 miles south of Khartoum. It is be lieved that It is a French force, and, if so, it Is agreed that It must he dis ludged by the British, even at the cost of a war with France, as Faslioda is. in an important sense, the key to Egypt. It is possible to dam up the waters of the Nile at that point, and so prevent its annual overflow, which I'would turn Egypt into a desert. There Is a possibility that the troops seen may be British, ar.d on that account, further news will be awaited with keen anxiety in England.

The Citizen* el Ceded Territory. When one country acquires territory from another, either by purchase or conquest, many interesting questions arise in respect to the allegiance of the people of the newly acquired' territory, their right to determine for themselves which nationality they will adopt and their rights of property. The general rule is that the inhabitants of a con quered qr ceded territory change Vheir allegiance, but their relations to each other and. their rights of property re main undisturbed. The laws, usages and municipal regulations in force at the time of the cession or conquest continue until changed by the law making power of the new government. In the case of Porto Rico, for instance, the Porto Tticana would owe allegiance to the United States government, and as a consequence be entitled to the protection of our government, but the Spanish laws and customs which regu late their, rights of person and prop erty would remain in force until changed by Congress. To prevent confusion, misunder standing and hardship, it is usual upon the cession of territory for the status of the inhabitants to he defined in the treaty, and this has been the course of the United States. In the Louisiana purchase treaty it was provided that the inhabitants of the ceded territory should be incorporated in the union of the United* States and admitted as soon as possible, according to the principles of the federal constitution, to the en joyment of all the rights, advantages and immunities of citizens of the United States. In the meantime they were to be protected in the free enjoy religion. In the case of Florida, which we ac quired from Spain in 1819, the same guarantees were given as to the se curity of'the inhabitants in the ex ercise of their religion and personal rights, and that they should be incor porated in the Union and “admitted to the enjoyment of all the privileges, rights and' immunities of the citizens of the United States.” It was also provided that "those who may desire to remove to the Spanish dominions shall be permitted to sell or export their effects at any time whatever without being subject in either case to duties.” Our next cession of territory came from Mexico, and the treaty made the same provisions as to incorporation into the Union and rights of citizen ship. It also permitted Mexicans who did not wish to become citizens of the United States to make a declaration to that effect within one year after the ratification' of the treaty. They-'eeuld then1 remain in the territory and) be protected in all their rights and privileges. This was a more generous provtttpn Mi an that allowed Oar; man^» Wtfrn she acquired Alsace Lorraine. In that case the inhabitants who wished to remain French suibjec's were obliged to leave, though they could retain their lands. In the case of Alaska, which we ac quired in 1807, the people were per mitted to make their choice as to their allegiance, but if they chose to remain Russian subjects they must return to Russia within three years. Those who stayed were to have all the rights and privileges of citizens of the United States, but nothing was said about in corporation into the Union. The un civilized native tribes were not in cluded in this provision, but made sub ject to such laws and regulations as the United States might adopt. These are the precedents in our own history which may govern our commissioners when making the treaty of peace at Paris. Mr. McCook, the United States con sul at Dawson City, is a little late with his advice to prospective Klondilkers. Pew people are headed for the Yukon. Most of those in' that district would no doubt he very glad to get out. Never theless it is Just as well that Mr. Mc Cook should depict the situation, which is very different from that reported by the steamship companies and the mer cantile corporations. According to Consul McCook, the gold output of the Yukon diggings has been overesti mated flvefoldi Destitution is im minent. The country is full of unsuc cessful prospectors who have ex hausted their resources and can't get away. Provisions are higher than ever and lodgings can hardly be secured at any price. In shoA, the Klondike boom is a swindle. The picture drawn by Mr. McCook will attract no particu lar attention just now, but it should have a deterrent effect upon people who have had some notion of trying their luck next year. At any rate, if they disregard the warning they will have only themselves to blame for the trouble they get into. The European adtnirals In service at Crete have become impressed with the necessity for a radical and permanent solution of the afTairs of that island. The conviction has been forced upon them that Mohammedan rule must cease. They have united in a recom mendation to their governments that the Turkish governor must be removed, that the Turkish troops be expelled from the island and that a new gov ernor, Christian, of course,, be chosen by the powers. European statesmen who did not have the courage to effect this reform a year ago are responsible for much bloodshed and loss of life. Great Britain has. paid especially dear for her. nerveless policy. Th« Sailing ol Our Spanish Gimti. It was, no doubt, with a strange mixture of feelings that the 1800 Span ish sailors took their departure from Portsmouth for Spain, a few days ago. Fbr over two months they had1 been prisoners of war at Camp Long, on Seavey island, enjoying the delightful air of the New England coast, growing fa it at Uncle Sam’s expense, and being better treated than ever Ire-fore in their lives. After the awful nightmare of the destruction of their pyoud fleet and the killing of hundreds of their com rades they had found themselves quak ing and sullen captives In the hands of the hated "American pigs.” But the kindness and consideration shown them soon- tyon their confidence and gratitude, arid there is no hatred or resentment in their hearts as they sail homeward. To be sure they are going home, and even to the simple, ignorant Spanish sailor home is a precious and sacred sped. May good fortune attend them ougnt to be the wish of every one, especially good fortune in the way of being sent to school and remembering some of the object lessons of Yankee land. Many of them, save in the knowledge that men could do well without, are more ignorant than the average of New England children. A considerable ele ment of them not being sailors bad not even a seafaring knowledge of ports and coasts. If these unfortunate Spaniards have gained any impression of America they may lie missionaries of good to their country. They have at least learned that Americans treat prisoners kindly, and- this is a good deal lo men who really believed that we shot captives or allowed them to starve. Then the Spaniards have been taught habits of personal cleanliness both by precept and example. They go home stronger, sounder, cleaner. men man wnen mey leu spam, it is not expecting too much to believe that some at least among them will see that it was no accident that gave victory to men who could read, write and cipher and who believe in schools and soap. Possibly one of the most picturesque episodes in our coast history will not be wholly told when its record this side the Atlantic is completed. With the many hundred Spanish sailors on the City of Rome were Ad miral Cervera and his officers who have been on parole at Annapolis since their capture. Poor in sympathy is the American heart which does no>t go out to the old admiral on this sad voyage back across the Atlantjf, He has shown himself a brave and' chivalrous gentleman, a type of man far removed from most of the high Spanish officers, and he deserves the pity and the kind ness which' have been freely bestowed upon him by our people, and which he h4s so deeply appreciated. He is sail ing home a passenger, leaving behind the shattered wrecks of the proud fleet which Spain sent out with such high hopes, leaving behind hundreds of his men, buried in the waves or in the prison camp. And to this awful bur den of grief is added the realization that scheming politicians at home may welcome him with a couit martial. The number of the Khalifa's troops killed and' wounded, as reported by General Kitchener’s officers, is over 20,000. That of the Anglo-Egyptian force is about 200. In other words, the invading army suffered almost no loss, while the attacking party met with such a destruction of its men that the retirement of the Khalifa was not equivalent to the drawing off of his troops, but simply the escape of a small fraction of the body of lighting mon pnfirjicf'il T* Is vnrv f«f People's party, is a noteworthy in cident in Maine politics. The transfer to the Democratic party of nearly all the 0000 voters who in 1894 voted* the Populist ticket, does not affect the relative position of the Republican party to the opposition, but it increases the Democratic vote to that extent— cutting down the Republican plurality —tout not affecting the Republican majority. Another effect of the trans fer will be to make the Democratic party of Maine more distinctly Dryan stic.

They Will Be the Veterans Practice Marches Taken by Batteries. Apparently from the reports that come to Augusta from1 Montauk Point, the forces at Camp Powers will be reinforced by another body of men' who have won distinction in the campaign in Cuba, from their good work as a signal corps. These men are not In the best of health so it Is learned, though not many are really 111. Several have had the yellow fever, among whom is Captain George W. But ler. They have but within a day or more arrived at the camp on 'Montauk Point, and now the order arrives from them to report back to their home station, and be mustered out. These men, numbering about 40, are the only ones who were sent out by Maine, who can really claim the title of veter ans, as they are the only ones who were at any time under fire of the Spanish guns. These men served with great help the officers in the campaign about San tiago. It was the Maine Signal Corps that signalled the attack upon Santiago from General Sljafter to Admiral Samp son, and it was the same corps that fur nished the man who telegraphed the news of the surrender of Santiago, as well ns the capture of Cervera's fleet to Wash ington. In the ease of the surrender of Santiago it was an Augusta man who sent the dispatch to Washington. That man was Herman Hobbs who was for merly the manager of the Postal Tele graph office previous to his enlistment. Thus it is that the company of men who were once ordered' home from Augusta, when the 2nd Regiment was sent home in May. return laden with experience In the real warfare. It will be remembered the corps was ordered home, and had all their equipment ready when General Richards who had worked hard to have them accepted In the service of the Uni ted States, received orders to hold them. He sent the orders to Captain Butler just in time to prevent their going home as uau uccn anuu^cu. It was not until late in June that the corps was fully recruited and received orders to re-port to the officer in command at Washington. They were the first men in the signal service to arrive there, who were organized and equipped, ns well as well drilled. Several men w#re there who were unequipped and not drilled in the least. The Maine corps was sent within a few days to Tampa, where they were not allowed to stay but fi few more days, before they were ordered to go to Santi ago. It was at that time Captain Butler sent w'ord to friends in, this city to tell the 1st Regiment and Battery A, that the old proverb, “The last shall be first,” was in their case fulfilled. Several of Captain Butler’s men are already in the State recovering from the effect of sickness that they contracted while in the vicinity of Santiago. The corps will doubtless poke innocent fun at the 1st Regiment, calling them tin soldiers and themselves veterans in the same manner that the regiment poked fun at the batteries upon their return from the South. But some of the stories that the members of the corps will be able to tell both from facts and from im agination. will 'be worth listening to. The only hope of the people here is that they will leave all “yellow jack” germs behind them, as they are not needed here. We have troubles of our own here in the North, and few can boast of being im inunes so the disease is r.ot needed. If the weather continues the same as it has been* during the past week there will be little to fear as it is understood there are none- ill with the disease. It cannot be stated when the corps will arrive, but if they are ready to move at once, they should be here by Sunday at least. •With the wig wags in camp all that re mains to be summoned to have a reunion of the Maine National Guard forces, is the hospital corps in* command of Lieut. Riker of Lewiston, and the few 2d Regi ment officers. The pay rolls of the 1st Regiment were sent to the paymaster at Boston, Wednes day afternoon; and now begins the wait for the arrival of the ofllcer who has the wherewith to make a happy set of men of those in camp. None will be able to say they are bondholders to any great extent, by the amount they will receive from Uncle Sam, but It will look large to the men who "have nothing in their pockets that resembles In the least, money. Speaking about the absence of money in the ranks, a fellow had a terrible ex perience recently. Ills sweetheart had written him a letter, and had carelessly placed a two cent revenue stamp upon it. It wasn’t the fault of the girl, out thal of the assistant postmistress who got the two varieties of stamps mixed. The letter arrived in- Augusta all right, but il was marked collect, and what could the l>oor boy do? He had not the price of a stamp about his clothes, and there was a letter that meant so much to him, sc near and yet so far. A friend out of thragdon, Privates O'Reilly. Willey, King.

It was similar to those they had at the camp during their encampment only that now near ly all the commands in the sham bat tle are sounded by Buglar Smith, and the sham battle is made more realistic by the use of the guns that fire caps each making a noise almost equal to a target rifle. The drill, Wednesday afternoon, was as usual a good one, showing many who have never before seen them drill, that they could do all that has been claimed for them by their friends.

Down in the secretary of State’s of fice the returns from the election are coming in by each mail, so that the clerks are kept busy with the work. Naturally Augusta was among the first places in the State that sent in their returns. Some of the cities and towns near Augusta do not always get in their returns as soon as the others, even if they are near. Much depends upon the clerk in such cases. All day Tuesday, the returns show eted into the office especially by the afternoon mails. These returns where there is no con test mentioned, are at once posted by counties, so that at a moment's notice it can be seen what counties have sent in the complete returns, and the total result.

Tuesday, from Aroos took, whither he had been to cast his vote for Elewellyn Powers et als. Mr. Wiggin was in this city long enough to purchase complete equipments for the Moosehead house at Frenohville and to say that Supt. Stetson is going to get out an interesting and readable report. He said he didn’t know who was going to be elected Speaker, an.l he believed there were a number of men in Maine with about the same amount of information. As a loyal citizen of Aroostook county he had ten der thoughts about Carl King, though Col. Stetson was all right, and so for that matter were all the other candi dates. While a loyal Republican at all times, Mr. Wiggin said that he was so busy that he didn’t have much time to study politics thoroughly enough to go into the prophet business. Then he drifted off into peans of praise for Mrs. Getchell’s pastry, and said she made as good pies as anybody's mother.

U.—(Special.)—The season of ice shipments for the year 1898 is fast drawing* to a close, and the few re maining tons on the Kennebec are being hurried South as fast as vessels can be secured to ship them. Every concern on the river that has a ton of ice in its houses is at work and the prospect now is that not a pound will fee left in any house when the river closes. One of the prominent ice men* said, a few days since, that he foresaw in the spring what the season* was likely to be, and gave orders to his broker, to charter all the vessels he could, anil had found that his estimate had turned out to 'be nearly correct. tty the spring estimate there were along the river 914,000 tons, and to com plete shipments in the season of eight months 114.000 tons must be loaded month- -j ly. At the present rate the shipments are J many thousand tons in advance, and in all probability the houses will all be cleaned out by November. In an interview with a gentleman who is in close touch with the ice business, not only along the Kennebec, but throughout the State, the Journal man learned. Tuesday, t,hat the situation is about as t*he following figures indicate: Knickerbockers, OklTOrchard houses, Knickerbockers, Chelsea houses. Empty Knickerbockers.

BOOKSELLERS AMO NEWS DEALERS. Question ol Returning Papers Once Sold Dis cussed-New Officers Elected. New York. Sept. 14.—At today's session of ihe Booksellers ami News Dealers Na tional Ass'jclatlpn. the principal discus sion' was over a resolution that all pub lishers of newspapers should fasten in some way the tight hand corner of news papers In ordeT to prevent their being re sold or being turned In to newspaper offices and credited to those who returned them. Among those who spoke on the question was M. Moy of Pawtucket. R. X. It was pointed out that, as the news paper publishers could not be got to re fuse to take hack copies, the next best thing was to fasten the newspapers so as to be a notification to the publishers that the paper had been read and returned to the dealer for his own profit. It was stated that some of the men who got people to return the newspapers al lowed the patrons to have the paper for a little less each wvek. The groups of men and boys standing at the ferries and railway stations begging for papers was deprecated. It was pointed out that the fastening of the right hand corner of newspapers would be of only local benefit, as the fas tening In trails.. might he broken and great injustice done to outside news delers. The election of officers resulted as fol lows: Thomas F. Martin, New York, pres ident; T. G. Quinn. New York, treasurer: F. R. Sampson, New York, secretary; i\ F. Pettie. Bridgeport, Conn., custodian; J. H. Reilly. Providence, chairman execu tive committee. CHINESE NATION ADVANCING,

Graduates of the schools of the third class may inter the intermediate colleges and the University of Pekin. Ir is believed that the curriculum adopted by the Japanese University will be fol lowed. Another dispatch from Minister Conger would indicate that the Emperor of China has taken a long stride in advance in civilization by encouraging the news papers of his empire to publish a truthful and full account of the daily events, and to be both bold and fearless in the dis cussion of current affairs. He has, by public proclamation, made 1 the Chinese Daily 'Progress an official or- gan anu declared that articles which ap pear in Chinese newspapers, though ap parently displeasing to him. shall r.ot on that account be suppressed. He lias di rected that important articles on current events in the leaavng papers shall be marked and promptly presented to him.
