The announcement that Mark
Hanna will retire from active busi
ness life does not mean that he is
going out of the business of running
the government.
Col. H. C. Sanfokd is making his
rival, Prof. Seese, very uncomfort-
able by charging him with bolting
the P.epublican ticket. Of course
the Third ward statesman is wholly
without sin in this regard.
If the man with the dark lantern
who went about the county in '96
exposing the dishonesty of Mexican
dollars, will only take a notion to
turn the light on tho underhanded
methods by which the Russell salary
bill was defeated in the last Legisla
ture by the local Republican Ma
chine, the people will have reason to
rise and bless him.
senator liURROWS announces
that "the Philippine insurrection, if
not speedily crushed, will have a
disastrous effect for the Republican
party upon tho general elections in
laou." me senator's views are
"shared by several cabinet members
and the President himself." Hence
forth the shabby pleas of "manifest
destiny" and "benevolent nssimila
tion" should be thrown to the winds
If a bloody war of subjugation must
-be prosecuted for the sole purpose of
promoting the political fortunes oi
the Administration, there should be
no equivocation about the fact.

Bbooklys, July 31. This city, or
rather this borough of Greater New
York, is unquestionably the most unique
of all cities. Apart from New York and
removed any considerable distance from
tho great metropolis, it would be the
second or at least the third city on
this continent in population and com
mercial importance. But New York, of
which it is a part, overshadows it Its
individuality is largely lost, merged into
the greater city across the river. Fully
450,000 people, mainly living in Brook
lyn and doing business in New York,
daily swarm across the great bridge
which spans the East river or cross on
the various ferries that ply between its
shores. Brooklyn is called the dormitory
PROPOSED TOWEIt OS LOOKOUT HILL, PROS
PECT TASK.
of New York, which is a fairly correct
designation, yet not wholly so. With
its population of over a million people
Brooklyn is a city on its own account,
and has its own distinctive institutions
and landmarks, which no process of
consolidation can wholly efface.
Brooklyn is not inaptly referred to as
"Trolleyville, " and we who live here
are frequently called "trolley dodgers. "
And that's no libeL We do have to
dodge trolley cars, for their tracks com
pletely gridiron the city. Within the
borough of Brooklyn there are .fully 400
miles of electric railway-track. The
electric lines are mainly owned and
operated by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company, which also operates tho ele
vated railroads. With the exception of
a comparatively small independent line
the Coney Island and Brooklyn rail
road this company has a monopoly of
the passenger traffic of Brooklyn. Un
der normal conditions the various sur
face and elevated lines daily carry 850,
000 passengers, a considerable percent
age of whom are conveyed over the
bridge to and from theboionghof Man
hattan. About 2,000 cars are operated
daily, making 15,000 trips and covering
in the aggregate 200,000 miles. These
figures do not include the Long Island
railway, which does a large local pas
senger business within the city limits.
In the matter of parks and public
grounds Brooklyn surpasses most cities.
Within its corporate bounds 1,600 acres
are set apart as public parks. The most
noted of these is Prospect park, in
which there are 450 acres. A tract of
680 acres between Ridgewood and Rich
mond Hill was recently acquired by the
park department at a cost of about 3,
000,000, and is designated as Brooklyn
Forest park. An effort is now being
made, with fair prospect of success, to
establish a park at Coney Island, com
prising something like 400 acres stretch
ing along the seashore from Sea Gate to
Manhattan Beach.
Brooklyn might almost be called a
summer resort, as within its borders
are so many of the most delightful and
widely known seaside places Manhat
tan Beach, Brighton, Bath Beach, Rock
away, Far Rockaway and the always
"great and only" Coney Island.
Stretching from Coney Island to As
toria, on Long Island sound, Brooklyn
has over 20 miles of water front, along
nearly all of which the depth is suffi
cient to allow tho approach of tho lar
gest ocean going ships. Its facilities for
wharfage and storage are nnsurpassed
either in extent or convenience by any
port in the world. Jnst back from the
water front on the East river is Walla
bout market, one of the largest markets
in the world, covering 22 acres of
ground, the site and buildings having
cost about $2,000,000. The business
here transacted aggregates $30,000,000
a year.
Brooklyn is termed "the City of
Homes and Churches," and the term is
not misapplied. Here is the most noted
church in this country Plymouth,
made famous by Henry Ward Beecher.
There are in Brooklyn 500 churches, em
bracing every shade of religions belief.
It is likewise a city of schools and li
braries and benevolent institutions.
Aside from the public schools, there are
here about 30 educational institutions
of various kinds. There are 125 hospi
tals, dispensaries and asylums. Brook
lyn has doubtless the most historic and
beautiful burial ground in this country
Greenwood cemetery where rest the
ashes of many of the most distinguished
people of Brooklyn and New York.

SAN FRANCISCO, Ang. 3. The casket
containing the remains of Colonel Hawk
ins was taken ashore today with cere
monies befitting Colonel Hawkins' rank.
The remains of the dead commander
will he sent to Pennsylvania for in
terment. Colonel Hawkins died ou
July 18, on hoard of the trans
port Senator enroute to tills city with
his regiment from Manila. His deatli
ocenrred two days after the transport
sailed from Yokohama. Cancer of the
bowels was tln cause of death. The re
mains were embalmed ou hoard the ship
and brought here for shipment to Penn
sylvania. The ship bearing the regi
ment has arrived, bringing the sad news.
.Has at Hnlf-Masl.
The Senator arrived with her flag at
halfmast on account of the death of
Colonel Hawkius.
Tho Senator sailed from Manila on
July 1, with 38 officers and 721 enlisted
men. The transport was at Nagasaki
on July 15, when Colonel Hawkins was
taken ill with cancer of the bowels, from
which he had been a sufferer during the
greater part of his campaign in tho
Philippines, and for which he had un
dergone treatment in the military hos
pital ai Manila. His illness continued
during the following day, July 1G, when
the Senator was at Yokohama, and two
days later he passed away at sea
Colonel Hawkins' illness dated from
tho battle of Malolos, when he exposed
himself almost recklessly in the disease-breeding
climate. Ho was re
spected and loved by every man of his
command, and his death is deeply
mourned by the troops. His body was
placed in a hermetically sealed casket,
and on the Sunday following his death
impressivo funeral services were con
ducted by the chaplain of the regiment,
all of his men being in attendance.
The remains were placed in the stern
of the-vessel and lay in state, attended
day and night by a guard of honor dur
ing the remainder of the voyage.
After the death of Colonel Hawkins,
the command of the regiment was
vested in Lieutenant Colonel Barnett,
who, like the dead commander, is popu
lar among the enlisted men, and made
a good record in the war.
Of the 75!) officers and men whom
Colonel Barnett brought to San Fran
cisco, three are privates in'the Sixth ar
tillery, U. S. A., and one is a member
of the Nebraska regiment who was left
behind at Yokohama when his compan
ions sailed for this port on the Han
cock. A dozen stowaways were also
concealed in the hold and were soon
brought to light after the Senator left
Yokohama.
One Man a Victim of Appendicitis.
The Senator had a good trip from
Japan. With the exception of the sad
illness and death' of the regimental com
mander there was no sickness aboard,
barring a few cases of seasickness and
half a dozen cases of dysentery. At
sight of land, all the invalids were able
to leave tho bunks and line np on the
main deck except one poor fellow who
has developed symptoms of appendi
citis and who will be operated upon in
the hospital here.
When the Tenth Pennsylvania left
for the Philippines last year the muster
comprised 850 men. Twenty-fonr were
killed in battle .or died in the Manila
hospital, and the rest of tho sick and
wounded, to the number of seven, are
on the hospital ship Relief, which will
probably arrive hero within the next
few days.
The quarantine officer boarded the Sen
ator and after a careful inspection passed
crew and passengers. Tho transport
liad drotiped anchor off the Folsom
Street wharf and it was decided that
tht! regiment should not be landed until
today. Under cover of darkness, how
ever, two privates slipped off in a tug,
dropping down by a lope which had
been used to haul up two sacks of mail
matter sent out by the postmaster to
the regiment.
The privates who thus absented them
selves without leave aunounced their
iuteutiou of seeing; the town last night
and of rejoining the ranks when the
regiment was lined up on tho dock to
day. As the official committee on re
ception to tho regiment will not arrive
here from Philadelphia until this even
ing, tlie substitute committee appointed
informally undertook that duty. A tug
had been chattered for today with the
expectation that the Senator would not
arrive last night and arrangements made
to go out to meet the transport with a
bond, stacks of flowera and tons of dain
ties for the soldiers. The premature ap
pearance of the transport last evening,
however, did not permit the carrying
nut of all these plans, but tho commit
tee, comprising John Barclay of Greens
burg, Pa., who had come out in ad
vanco of the regular committee, of
which he is a member, to meet his
badly wounded brother of the Tenth,
who is on the Relief; John M. Beall,
agent hero of tho Piedmont Air Lino,
formerly of Philadelphia; Alex Coul
ter, Greensburg, Pa.; M. M. Ogdon of
Governor Gage's 6taff, formerly a Pitts
burg newspaper man; M. M. Lear of
Denver, formerly or Greensburg, whose
brother, W. A. Lear, is captain in tne
Tenth; Colonel Henry Hall of tne
Pittsburg Times, a member of Gov-
ernorStone's staff, and James A. Camp
bell of the Philadelphia Times, has
tily embarked and were alongside the
Senator, extending a warm greeting to
their fellow Pcnnsylvanians aud wel
coming tho brave lads back to their na
tive laud.
Out of roped to tho dead regimental
commander, there was littlo cheering or
other noisyjdemoustrations.but the men
quietly expressed their delight at the
first glimpse of the Golden Gate. Liko
the Oregon and Nebraska regiments,
the Pennsylvania troops, prior to sailing
from Manila, voted in favor of being
mustered out in San Francisco.
Lieutenant Colonel Barnett, who is
now in command of the regiment, in
the course bf an interview, said:
"The boys are all glad, of course, to
get back home again, but their joy is
tinged with sadness on account of the
death of Colonel Hawkins.
"The colonel was a most kind and
considerate commander, who took a
keen individual interest in his men and
it is little wouder that they feel his loss
a personal Icreavenient.
"Colonel Hawkins was a sick man at
the beginning of the campaign which
ended in the capture of Malolos. Tho
regimental surgeon had advised him to
retire for rest and medical attention,
COI.OSFXA. 1 nAWKISS.
but tho colonel jseremptorily refused,
declaring that he would go wherever
'lis men went.
"When the final volley was fired at
Malolo.;, Colonel Hawkins was right iu
front of the firing line, urging his men
onward and encouraging them with his
exhibition of personal bravery. After
that decisive battle the colonel's illness
increassd. The ailment developed rap
idly iu the unhealthy climate. After
we embarked he sank steadily and his
deatli at sea was not unexpected."

t.pent on his father's farm on the border
line of WiishiiiKton and Greene counties.
He wa a soldier by inheritance. He
comes of lighting stuck, belonging to the
fourth generation of a lighting family.
Hubert Hawkins, the pioneer of the
family In America, came to this country
from Kngland In 1713. He was an indus
trious, hard-working man, and a patriot
of the truest type. He lived almost a
century in the country which he had
adopted for his home during the most
critical period of its history. During the
war for independence he gave over 2,000
for the support of American arms. He
sent three sons into the service, one of
whom died in the memorable camp at
Valley Forge.
The father of Col. Hawkins, James
Hawkins, was a farmer and a carder of
wool, a broad-minded and industrious
man, who t. night the lessons of thrift and
frugality In bis children. Alex. L. was
the fourth child, and was surrounded by
the best inlluenees of a Christian home
and community. After receiving a liberal
education at the public schools he at
tended Oeorge's Creek academy, where
lie prepared himself for college.
He was a student at Waynesburg col
lege for some time, and afterwards taught

tn the Civil 1Vnr.
Hawkins begun his career as a soldier
as 11 member of Company K. Fifteenth
Ptnnsylvanla cavalry, August 00, 1S62.
Company K was distinctively a Greene
io"ity organization, composed mostly of
farmer boys, hardy types of the best cltl
r?u :-oldiers. Ilis regiment took part
against the raiders of Chambcrsburg and
in the battle of Antietam.
Hawkins was made a corporal on May
J2. 1C. and tilled the various grades of
non-commissioned officer until October
H, 1SC4. when he was made lieutenant, and
in the following spring was given a com
mission as captain of United States col
ored trnopy.
His supeiior officers recognized ill him
an officer and warrior of great ability.
He was acting lieutenant in the winter of
'2 when tlie regiment was lying In the
barnuks at Nashville. As captain of
t'nitfd Slates colored troops he fought
tinder tjnn. Thomas, and did valiant serv
ice In the battle of Nashville.
t'apt. Hawkins lemained In the service
until some time after the war. on the
stall of MnJ.-CScn. Clinton IJ. Fiske. He
was mustered out January 21, lSO-l.
After returning from the war he en
tered the drug business In Pittsburgh in
the fall or 'IX. remaining there for two
yeaic, when he sold his store and moved
on :i farm in East liethlehem township,
Washington county. This farm Is the
lid nankins homestead, the original
tract which came into ibe Hawkins fam
llv In 1772. nn letter. patent granted to
Thomas Hawkins by -the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania.
Active In J'uIltlcK.
After moving to "Washington county he
took an active part in the Republican
polities of Washington county and was
one of Its most ardent workers after the
close of the war. He served as chairman
of the Republican committee in lSiu. anil
on a number of occasions since. In the
fall of "73 he was elected treasurer of the
county by a large majority.
It was during his term in this ofllce
that he began his career with the Tenth
Pennsvlvanla regiment of the national
guard, with which he has been Identilled
ever since and which Is recognized as one
of the best state oruanlzatious In the
countrv. Company II. the local com
pany of the Tenth, was In IS72 in a some
what demoralized condition and there
was danger of its beliisc disorganized. By
the advice of S. I.. Wilson, thei llrst cap
tain of tin1 company, but at this time
senior mai'irnf the leglnient, A. I.. Haw
kins was eh(iiM! commander of the com
psiii)". He received hlu commission Janu
ary 1, 1577. He saved the dlsbandmcnt of
the company and proved the right man
for the place and bull! up a strong organ
ization. Shortly after this the company was
called out to quell the Pittsburgh riot.
The company went overland to Greens
burg nnd at this time Hawkins showed
himself a skillful and efficient officer nnd
a valuable acquisition to the Pennsylva
nia guard.

Elack of Greensburg. He was re-elected
in 1SS4. 1SS9 and 1M4. His fourth term ex
pired when he was in the volunteer serv
ice in the Philippines. He has for a long
time been tlie senior colonel in the Penn
svlvanla guard and he was instrumental
in its reorganization.
With the reorganization of the regiment
and Col. Hawkins at the head it became a
strong organization for efticient military
service. The companies were all from
country towns, and as many of its mem
bers were freh from the farm, it became
known as Hawkins hayseed regiment.
It, however, always stood close to the
leaders in the annual state Inspections.
During his twenty years' service as
commander of the regiment Col. Haw
kins has never missed an encampment or
been absent at any occasion where his
regiment was represented. He was in
command at the inauguration of Presi
dents Garfield. Cleveland, Harrison and
Cleveland, also under the call of the gov
ernor of Pennsylvania for three weeks In
April, '91. during the labor strike in the
coke region of Western Pennsylvania. He
was again with his regiment in the sum
mer of 'S2 during the strike of the steel
workers at Homestead.
In the Spunlwh "War.
"When President McKinley issued his
call for volunteers for the Spanish war
Hawkins, as colonel of the Tenth, was
anxious to go to the front with his regi
ment. His command was selected as the
only one from the Keystone state to be
taken to the Philippines, and this was
considered a mark of honor to the gal
lant colonel and his efficient regiment.
Col. Hawkins has had a political record
of some interest, as well as a military
one. being now the representative from
the Washington and Beaver district in
the state senate. He was elected to this
office while on his way to the Philip
pines, and had no opposition, receiving a
phenomenal vote In the district.
He preferred to remain in the distant
land of the Philippines to fight for anl
serve his country, to look after the boys
of his command who had been intrusleJ
to his care, than to come home merely to
gain political honor.
He had been a candidate for' the senate
eight years before, but the presence of
another Republican in the Held at the gen
eral election resulted nt that time In the
election of the Democrat.
Col. Hawkins was married in 18G3 to
Miss Cvnthia Greenfield, to whom were
born three children. Clyde IS., a graduate
of West Point ami now a 'member of the
Third United States cavalry as second
lieutenant and on his way to the Philip

lieutenant in the regular army and still
in the Philippines, and a daughter, Jessie,
who is at home with her mother. He has
a beautiful home in East AVashington
borough and was the chief burgess of the
town when he left for the seat of war.

NOItliU.lv, Va., Aug. 3. Keports- from
rimeliits stated tlmt six eases or jellow
fever bad been found and that there had
been tun drallit uuimig the negro popu
lation of l':iieb'us adjoining the home.
Washington, Aug. 2. "Three new
cases of yellow fever in the Soldiers'
home at Hampton and one death" was
the official report received by Surgeon
General Wynion from Dr. "Wasdin, the
yellow fever expert on duty at the in
stitution. Added to Dr. Wasdin's fig
ures, sent to.Dr. Wyman the dty be
fore, this made 40 cases in all which
had occurred at the home, of which
eight had proved fatal. Surgeon White
telegraphed Dr. Wyman that in his
opinion there was little doubt that there
had been some fever infection in the
neighboring village of Phoebus, but
the surgeon general said that this dis
patcn had not been followed by any evi
dence of a positive case at that place.
Should the fever develop there, how
ever, no surprise would be felt, iu view
of the proximity of the place to the Sol
diers' home and the mixing of the in
mates of the institution with the people
of Phoebus.
The opinion was expressed that the
situation continued encouraging, inas
much as the disease had been kept
within its original bounds. None of the
nearby towns other than Phoebus had
reported tho appearance of infectiou or
suspicious cases. The people for miles
around the home were very much
alarmed, but quiet. No restrictions hatl
been placed ou tho departure of the sev
eral hundred visitors at Old Point Com
fort, but Dr. Pettuswill exercise careful
supervision of those who may leave, so
as to avoid danger of their communicat
ing the disease. This will apply also to
tho soldiers stationed ou the government
reservation there, most of whom have
been ordered to proceed to Battery
Point, Del.

A LONG DISTANCE fIGHTER.
Ulaueo Th ougIt Santiago Should Not Hato
lleeii Surrendered Pareja aud
Toral ou Trial.
Madrid, Aug. 2. Tho second session
Of the courtmartial of Gouerals Toral
and Pareja, charged with surrendering
Santiago do Cuba to the Americans
without having exhausted all means of
defease, took place and General Pareja,
in his defense, said the garrison of tho
city of Santiago de Cuba lacked food,
many of the soldiers having died of
hunger. In addition, tho hospitals
kicked medicines. The general read
several telegrams exchanged between
the authorities at Washington and Ma
jor General Shaftcr, the latter showing
himself confident of forcing the sur
render of Santiago de Cuba.
General Toral made a similar defense.
He read a telegram sent him by Captain
General Blanco, who, after consulting
with tho authorities at Madrid, ap
proved of the capitulation.
Another Spanish officer testified that
when he entered Santiago iie found three
quarters of the troops sick.
General Kubi gave testimony to the
effect that further resistance would
have been equivalent to the death of
tlie remainder of the troops.
Lieutenant General Pando testified as
to his regfettiug that tho recommenda
tions made by him before lcaviug San
tiago had not been acted on, as Santiago
then had sufficient ammuaitiou, except
for the artillery. He disapproved the
decisions of the generals at Havana,
who, he asserted, to succeed should
have reinforced Santiago.
General Blanco said he had never ad
vised the capitulation of Santiago, but
favored a strong resistance. The gov
ernment, he declared, had accepted the
terms of the United States without dis
cussion and when ho telegraphed to
Central Toral it was too lato. San
tiago, he added, had far from an insuf
ficient garrison.
Condemns Lack of Transport Sen Ice.
London, Aug. 2. Tho special artist
o'f The Daily Graphio of this city, now
in the Philippines, growled at the au
thorities who "forbid an artist the as
sistauce which he might provide for
himself by eugagiug servants to carry
the loud the military authorities de
cline to supply even now ou payment."
Ho condemns the alleged neglect of the
transport service. Ho said in part:
"You ciiuuot be taken by cart from Ma
nila to San ToniaFO by road without
having to swim streams. But for a bit
of single railway lino the troops would
be starved on this line of operations. As
it is, they tiro but fed from hand to
mouth."
