SH AFTER AND GARCIA.
Since it is a good deal easier to crit?
icise General Shafter than to investi?
gate the truth of the charges against
him. it is perhaps natural that some, of
our esteemed contemporaries should be
disposed to be a Utile unfair Iu their
comments upon his action toward Gen?
eral Garcia in reference lo lhe ceremo?
nies incident to the surrender of San?
tiago. In view of tiie fai l that the
American commander positively de?
nies the sensational reports sent out,
it would seem to be the part of wis?
dom, at least, to wait until a more
thorough investigation into the matter
has been made before laying the entire
blame upon Iiis shoulders.
General Shafter's position was a pe?
culiar one. and while- he had a large
degree of provisional power at his com?
mand, he undoubtedly followed the
course which he believed would best ac?
complish the end iu view. Withoul de?
tracting anything from ihe character
of General Garcia himself, it is plainly
apparent thai the American comman?
der would have pursued a risky course
had he placed the Cubans iu charge of
Santiago. Thc fact that Garcia's s,ji
diers cut off the heads of Spanish pris?
oners has been established beyond a
reasonable doubt. No sane man would
agree to turn the destinies of a city
over to such a gang as thai, especially
at a time when they were drunk with
victory.
In spite of the carping criticism? of
newspaper correspondents, General
Shafter has shown that hi- has a secure
grasp upon the situation. and :t is
quite likely that, subsequent events will
show thai Ik- was right in his dealings
with Garcia.
In the death of Prince Bismarck Ger?
many loses the statesman lo whom that
nation owes its greatness and power.
Judged by the results of his lire, it is
a safe estimate of his character to say
that he was the greatest German ill the
history of that people. His memory will
be held in honor ami esteem as long
tbe the German empire lasts.
The young ladies of Wisconsin are
very anxious to christen tin- battleship
named after that state. If the com?
mittee on arrangements should decide
to "divvy" up and give each one of
them a syllable, it would still be several
laps behind the Kentucky so far as the
quantity of christening is concerned.
Now that lhe esteemed Mrs. Robert
Fitsirnmons has given her hubby per?
mission to enter the ring again, il will
undoubtedly be Hafe to expect a revi?
val of right ami lefl "hooks'- and a
sprinkling of "Uppercuts" in tin: col?
umns of the newspapers.
It is said that Blanco, in Spanish,
means white. Another illustration of
the fact that "there's nothing in a
name."
If one may judge by the reports
coming In for the j.ast few months,
Uncle Sam has powder mills to burn.
In any event, your Uncle Sam will
".maintain his unbroken record of vie

DISGUSTED FISHERMEN.
It ?Mir ?!??? Sportsmen 111 <?? Watch
an Old Tinier Catch Tront.
One day this \ve67t a Boston party, on 1
a iishing irip lo Moosehead, came J
across one of the old-scl.ool fishermen, j
He was up off the raouth of Tomhegan
stream and was fishing out of a lum?
berman's hatte-.iu. It developed later
that he was the cook for a crew of
liver diivers. On the bank Lear at
hand stood the cookee, or his ?elper.
The cool; had Uiro'.vti about a pel k of
table refuse into the lake in order to
"tole" the fish, an; over llial lure he
was having great luck. His pole was
of the jib-boom variety, and when a
llsh hit he would derrick ii over his !
head into the bushi/a whore the cookee
was stationed.
The Boston men from their canoes |
watched operations with all the dis?
gust of the true sp rtsmen.
"Got enough fur supper yet?" shout,
ed the lislierman over his shottldei as
lie. scut another great trout, damping
Into the bushes.
"No; heller ca'.ch six or eight
more." shrilled hack the cookee.
"Say. how many i.-h do you two fel
a Boston man. who didn't understand
the situation.
"Vv'hpn you've cooked for twenty
two rivei'-ririvers as long as I have,"
yelled the cook, derrickitig another
fish, "you'll know more about empty
Hardly was this enigmatic utterance
out wh :i tin ii i ..<? a lug at his line
that was iiiilhi:::.' short of tremen?
dous. He twitched. The lish didn't
come. Me braced; set his jaws and
pried. His lino only sawed the uissiug
water.
"Play him! Piny him!" screamed
the excited sportsi en from the city.
"Play your grandmother" bellowed
hack the cook. "1 ain't here to play
I'm here to lish." And as he spoke he
boosted over his head a lifteen-pound
laker. Any man ;:i the Boston crowd
would have given flu to have played
him an hour at the end of an eight
ounoe rod. 'Twits too much for their 1
nervesi They came away.
An Appaiil.
Blanco cabled that he was running
short of food and asked that supplies
he sent a! once.
Come send me a sandwich that is made |
out of meal ; j
i am tired of living on hay;
i have not had the pleasure to shake
hands or greet.
A square meal for many a day.
i Ituve killed all the mules that i've
found about here, 1
And I've had them all cooked into

But alas Ulis is gone and I'm seized
with a fear
For I really don't know what to do.
My men they are frying the soles of
their shoes;
Their suspenders were gone long ago;
But the thought of this diet gives each
one the blues.
And causes their Leaflets In Mow.
So send us a sandwich, and send It
