EARLY OKDERS EXPECTED.
The opinion is general that the time
of departure for the Twelfth and Fuur

Th-- regiment went wild.
Tore! es w< re lighted, and at the

of the camp was made. When this ;
was ended, the ni>-n t:c-pt „ff to their :

\*£-A~t \^S y^ health means phys

worst description. It means slow starva
tion. Because a man forces food into a
weak and impaired stomach, it does not j
follow that he feeds his body. The life- I
giving elements of the food taken into an I
impaired stomach are not assimilated into
the blood. Instead, the impurities of the
sluggish liver &.nd bowels are taken up and |
carried to all parts of the body. The con
sequence is that the body is not only
6tarved but poisoned. The immediate re
sult ia physical suffering from which the
old time zealot would have drawn back in
horror. The final result is disease and

covery is a scientific remedy that acts ac

spur to nature or a mere artificial appetiser.
It^geutly, but surely and permanently, pro
taotes the natural processes of secretion
and excretion. It creates appetite, makes
the assimilation of the food perfect, invig
orates the liver and purifies and enriclie9
the blood. It builds up firm, muscular
flesh. It cures nervous exhaustion, debil

follow in their train. Fotyid at all medi

ROUGH TRIP
Through Whirlpool Itaplda In a
Steel Muriel.
] From the New York Sun.
The fn-i-t steel barrel to be used for;
the navigation of the whirlpool rapids
I was that employed by Hubert Lcaoh, I
of Watertown, today, ar.d in it he made i
a successful tri:> though the rapids
and aiound the whirlpool. Leach's iir.-K \
1 barrel was made of w<K.d, but he lost it 1
\ after bis trip of June 12. This fore-d \
him to get another barrel, and he had
one made- of sieel. The length of the |
barrel is seven feat. Its diameter ia i
| three feet nine inches In the center. The
j steel osed is tlr-re-sixteenlhs of an inch
thu-k, and the hea/!s ar>; of wood, in '■
order 'to better comjjait the wave pres
sure. As the barrel is heavily ballast- ,
cd. its v.'tig-ht is nary 1,000 pi urn's. In]
making the trip L.^ach was swung in!
a hammock on the inside of the barrel, '
Th • start was mad-? at ?>:45 o'clock, :
whe-n c sni-all boat towed the barrel up :
;.nd out in th<? river. Th>; delay of la^t
? : uiiday was avoided, for the main cur- :
rent <;f the river caught the barrel, and j
it was toon hurrying toward the rapids.
There was a large crowd of pei. pie un
\hv brides and on the river ;>anks.
Leach's daring: on his previous trip had
been widely herald d. It took bui a
few minutes for the crowd to realise
I'r.at Leach and his craft were, in the
grasp of the current. Th-e first wave!
was met boldly, then the second, and in
a moment the barrel was being tos.sr-d
roughly by the wateis of the rapids.
Tho course was about the center of!
the river, and as the bairel shot from:
the rapids into the whirlpool it creased
to the north side and swung round up]
in the eddy on the Canadian side. Four 1
tirres did the cuire.it catch it and start'
it toward th^ center, but each time it j
swung tack shoreward. Finally it got!
away far acioss the pool to a point
where four boys ?wam ou: and caprur j d !
ir. On* mounted the barrel, and Leach j
soon opened the manhole. The barrel i
was towed ashore and Leaoh landed. I
He ha-d st<x«l the rough journey all •
light and was in good condition. He
said h^ was pleased wkh the steal bar- '
rel, and that he would rhk his life ii
making a trip over the Horseshoe fall i
in it on July 4.
CAB INDICATOR
That Tick* Off the I*ll— rmn'i lan- j
to the Cent.
From the New York Sun.
Americans traveling in Exirope will \
chant paeans of praise to the man who j
invented the new cab system, which j
both Germany and France have, to a i
large extent, adopted. Heretofore, in
preparing a schedule, it was necessary
to make a large allowance of time for i
conversation with cabmen. No matter I
how weM one might know the rates, j
a cab ride was bound to end in a heat- j
ed discussion. If the cabman was j
English, he bullied and he threatened; |
if French, ho argued; if Italian or Span- j
ish, he pleaded; if German, he growled,
and. no matter what his nationality !
might he, he persisted until the travel
er lost his temper or weakly capitu
lated in order to stop the row.
Now all that is changed. An mdi- j
cator that looks like a big cyclometer
is fastened to the back of the coach
man's box where the occupant of the ;
cab can see it. When the cab starts I
the driver sets the instrument going,
and at the end of the drive one can i
tell to a cent what the fare should be. i
Rates have readjusted to suit this !
new system, and the change is made j
by the minute, so that, if one takes a
cab for a short drive, one pays for a '
few minutes only, instead of giving the ;
regular fee for a course. The cabmen
say that, in spite of this arrange
ment, they make more money than they
did under the old system. For hun
dreds of persons will pay the present
price to save themselves a short walk
where not one would have thought It
worth while to spend the price of a
course for the same distance.
The only sufferers from the innova
tion are the horses, which are kept per
petually on the go now that so many
more persons ride, and, when one con
siders the forlorn condition of the av
erage European cab hirse, it is a ques
tion whether the additional comfort to
the public justifies another imposition
upon the long suffering brute. Unfor
tunately, the new plan has not yet
been tried in London, where, of all I
places, it is most needed, and, for the
present, travelers must rc-concile them
selves to the wear and tear upon
nerves and temper which are inevita
ble results of communion with the
London cabby.
SPAGHETTI^ SHORT.
Scarcity Owlnn to Failure In the
Foreljrn Supply.
From the New York Journal.
Those New Yorkers who on Sunday
affect the friendly table d'hote in order
to afford the family cook her day off
will be horrified to learn that they
have devoured domestic spaghetti in
stead of the Neopolitan.
It leaked out yesterday that the sup
ply of the imported article had fallen
off to such an extent that the leading
importers have been unable for some
weeks past to meet the demand. The
only course left open to the table d'hote
proprietors of the city was to substi
tute the brittle domestic macaroni for
its elastic and cohesive prototype.
It is a fact that not a dozen of a
thousand confirmed table d'hoters de
tected the sham. They devoured the
home-made spaghetti with undisturbed
relish. Many of them regard them
selves as connoisseurs, and the discov
ery that they have been deceived will
prove a cruel blow.
Dealers, when interrogated yesterday
as to the cause of the failure of the
imported spagHetti crop, were at first
unwilling to admit the existence of any
scarcity, but finding denial useless de
clared it to be due to the inability of
the Neopolitan manufacturers to ob
tain the proper grade of flour.

THE ST. PAUL GLO3^ SUNDAY JULY 3, 1893.
Has is runs
< .Midiiui-.l from First Pa««.
to fire a few more shots in their di
rection.
At 12:1S p. m.. the New York, having
discontinued firing at Aguadores, com
menced firing eight-inch shells clear
over the gully into the city of Santia
go de Cuba. Every five minutes the
shells went roaring over the hillside.
What destruction they wrought it is
impossible to tell, as the bluffs hid
everything.
In reply to Gen. Duffield's question,
"What it. the news?" Admiral Samp
son replied: "There is not a Spaniard
left in the rifle pits. 1 '
Later, G«n. Duftield signaled that his
tcou'ta thought reinforcements were
marching to the battered old fort, and
Admiral Sampson wig- wagged him:
NOT A SPANIARD LEFT.
"There is no Spaniard left there. If
any come., the Gloucester will take
care of them."
A little later the Oregon joined the
New York in sending eight-inch shells
into the city of Santiago. This was
kept up until 1:40 p. m. By this time
Gen. Duflleld had sent a message say
ing his troops could not cross the
stream and would return to Altares.
On the report that Spanish troops i
were still in the gully, the New York
and Gloucester sh-elled it once more,
and the Newark, which had not fired,
signaled, '"Can I fire for target prac
tice; have had no previous opportuni
ty." PermiFsion for her to do so was
signaled, and she blazed away, shoot
ing well, four six-inch shells explod
ing with remarkable force among the
rocks.
At 2:40 p. m. Admiral Sampson
hoisted the signal to cease firing, and
the flagship returned to the blockad
ing squadron.
On the railroad a train load of
troops had already left for Altares. »
MKRKI.Y A DIVERSION.
Delayed Avvount of the Demonstra
tion by Gem. Dutlield.

OFF AGUADORES, July 1 (delayod
in transmission). — The American fleet
has been shelling the fort and rifle pits
of Aguadores all the morning. The ,
Thirty-third Michigan \o!unteers took
a train at .luragua in two divisions,
the first at 5 a. m., and the second at
7.15. A rickety ongins ran the six
miles in ab'uit an hour and stopped a
mile and a half from the fort, out of
sight.
Gen. Duffield, commanding the land
forces, signalled to tho New York to
b(Rin firing at 9:30. The New.. York
and the Suwanee advanced until abo-ut
I^,ooo yards <Ilstan't from the fort. The
Suwanee, with three successive shots,
knocked the Spanish flay off th« fort,
wrecked one corner of the structure J
and shot away the staff.
The Cubans and the Thirty-third j
threw out skirmishers on the hill and
shots were exchanged all morning with '
the rifle pits. The forts and block
houses wer-i Loth silenced by the New •
sTork, whose secondary batteries pep- j
pered the ravine, while occasionally j
the deafening roar of her turret guns
was hear<?.
Early in the advance eight companies i
marched up (he railroad ti-ack ar.d an- '
otiier force went around the beach out i
of sight of the Spanish forts. Six j
small sheila were thrown over the I
heads of the men, too close for com
fort, and the; troops were sent to cover I
undtr the embankment in the railroad !
cut. The shap shooters are popping j
away from the hillside ar.d occasionally I
the report of a ship's gun is heard.
The officers and men who formed j
this advance were Gen. Duffleld, Col. j
Boynton, with the Thirty-third Michi- ,
gan; Maj. Webb, Third battalion; J
Lieut. Col. Schmidt, First battalion, !
Capt. Frederick Alger, son of the sec- !
retary of war, who is an aide to Gen. ;
Shafter, was with the regiment.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the en- !
gine was forced to return for water, j
On the first trip half the command
were brought back, and the train re- j
turned for the others.
It develops that this attack was
merely a diversion in favor of Gen. '
Lawton's movement around the right j
flank. It is impossible to take Aqua- i
dores, as tire river is umfordable, and j
the Spaniards have blown up the far '
end of the railroad bridges. Only •
companies B D and H took part in i
the action, owing to the limited space j
where the men could be deployed.
The killed thus far were all the vie- '*
tims of the first shells fired by the j
Spaniards, who had the line of range j
for the railroad, though the firing was [
high. The men had just thrown off j
their packs when a shell from a three- \
Inch cannon exploded in the ranks of j
Company C. The killed were:
JOHN FRANKLIN. of Diamond
Dale, Mich.
SEABRIGHT.
The wounded were:
Frank Lawson, of Lawson, Mich., !
left arm fractured.
D. A. Stark, Ann Arbor, Mich., right j
arm fractured.
Clifford H. Curtis, of Land Lake.
All the killed and wounded were I
made up of Sons of Veterans. As the I
train left, a second" shell exploded on j
the track, wounding a number of oth
ers.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, via
Port Antonio, Jamaica, July 2. — Great j
disappointment is felt by the naval '
officers over Gen. Duffield's inability to ;
cross the stream at Aguadores, which
runs through a gully. Had pontoons !

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
"That makes me think of Gov. Brough'H
organization of a regiment at the time John
Morgan made his raid through the state. The
governor kept close track of the great Con
federate raider. Ke found that Morgan, with
his large force, would pa.es a given point at
a certain hour the, next day. So he hart a
trainload of arms, equipments and ammuni
tion made ready, and himself, his adjutant
general and ether members of the star! pre
pared to make an extensive trip. He te'.e
--graphe-d to various stations along the line to
have companies raised, ready to got onto his
train, and go to a point for regimental or
ganization.
"When t<-n companies were ready the train
stopped and tha various companies elected
their oflk'erß. the gov-ernor promising thut
their commissions would be forwarded a lit
tle httsr. That done, he said: "Whom will
you have for colonel of, this regiment?"
"Somebody called cut that 'John Farmer
would be ihe best man to command the regi
ment.' The governor , had John Farmer
brought to him. aud Said: 'Mr. Farmer. I
want you to take command of this regiment
and lead it down to the place where Morgan
will appear, and help to head off the gentle
man.'
" 'Cut, governor, I don't know anyitilug
about this military business.'
" "Well, your friends .tay you are the best
man to be colon&l, and I want you to take I
the position. There ia no time to lose.'
" 'All right; if they think i will answer, I'll
do the best I can.'
"The governor 'promised to send hia com
mission the following week.
" "Now. Col. Farmer, get your troopi to- j
gether and we will issue arms and ammuni
tion/ said the governor.
"When that was dojie Col. Farmer pro- I
ceeded to get his regiment into motion in
this manner:
" 'Get into two airings in the road hsre,

bunch and stay there, and load and fire until
old John Morgan turns and runs.'
"At this point somebody called for 'Tb v eo
cheors for Col. Farmer.' They 'were given,
and then tho coionel gave the command, "Grab
guns, powder, shot and the other iixens, aud
we'll go after Morgan.'
"Col. Farmer wasn't much of a military
man. aud his troops were not dress parade
soidiers, but they got into a bunch in lime
to give John Morgan some straggling voiieys
that eld him and his crowd a heap of haim.
They were called the minute men, and were
mustered out soon after Morgan's i aiders
were captured or driven out of the state."
UNDEE WATEE.
It Is Proposefl to Crona the English
Channel With a Railway.
From the PhiladarpHia. Record.
It is proposed td* build' a railroad across the
English channel ,by erecting a bridge-like
structure at a dejjth of. 15 meters teiow the
surface and operating ; upon this a platform
emerging above water.-. IThe plan is described
as follows: -t ■ 9ii
The platform ori whirh it is proposed that
the trains should StanA while being conveyed
across the channel would be lot) meters king
and about 15 mctexs_ broad. It would b^
supported by five iron pillars on eao'i s'da.
These pillars, braced together in pairs by iron
girders, and supported by iron stays, would
rest on a submerged platform provided with
wheels -rolling cn>railia fixed on the bridge.
This submerged platform wouid be 30 meters ;
wide, so that the—pfitnEJ supporting the plat
form above the vrateruwould incline inward,
since the upward platform would be only
about Jo meters wid«.& The nto-.lvo power,
which it is proposed should be electricity,
would be generated by; Bteam engine? aud
dynamos Installed on the upper platform, and
transmitted directly and separately to each of i
"^ — j
the 15 pairs of wheels with which the «üb
mergrd platform U to be provided.
The new project has Just farmed the sub
ject of carefui study by the Compagni? da
Fives-Lille, whose reputation U i (v rjnt)O
for success. That study has shown the prac
ticability, the facility of execution and the
relative economy of that method of transit by
rail between France and England. Tais
scheme hag the advantage over Its predeces
sors of being very simple; and of pi.sgtinz
absolute safety both during its execution and
in its working. That solution ha.* also the
advantage of objections raised azaJn t tie
project of the bridge above the wier. No
obstacle to navigation w.;uld be created by it,
and the insular situation of England would
remain intact.
BUFFALO MEAT.

Prom The Portland Oregonian.
Buffalo beef, and especially buffalo veal,
has been a not uncommon diet of Tekoaltes,
and deapite the effort to put a stop to Ul3
destruction of the flock of the many half and
quarter breed buffalo, the meat still cornea
into town occasionally, brought by the In
dians from the reservation in Idaho, almost
adjoining Tekoa.
A splendid B-months-old ca'.f, handsomely
marked and with splendid hair and well-de
fined hide, was brought in this week and
sold to a local butcher, who. wise enough to
appreciate its worth, wired larger markets of
his prize and was rewarded by an offer cf 4)
cents a pound— head, pelt, and all. The heafl
was not brought in. and the butcher would
not dispose of the pelt, bo a aec,:nd offer of
33,2 cents a pound for the carcass, ehorn of

work and is an excellent parliamentarian, yet
she is a devoted mother and housekeeper.

freight.
"If the calf had been brought in two months
earlier. explained the butcher, "I could
readily have sold the carcass for ?1 a pound
to Chicago parties, and had I taken the pre

Une-Honr Term.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The shortest term in the history of tha
Mississippi penitentiary was served here to
3ay. Last year EX R. Woods (who was after
ward discovered to be lnnccent) was sentence^
for two years for forgery from Marion coun
ty, but before being sent up to Jackson, th#
jail was broken open to release another pris
oner, and Woods also walked out. A week
ago his wife, came here and appealed for par
tion. The governor was satisfied of Woods'
Innocence, but declined to pardon a fugitive.
The wife went home, turned her husband
over to the sheriff and had him brought to
the penitentiary today. His innocence wai
ostablished to the satisfaction of all parties,
■mi after one hour's Incarceration he was set
tree.

Prom Hlk Glrt'« Vlev. Point and
That of Her Father.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
"Well?" said Mrs. Bulterman and her
daughter, before he got off his coat.
"What's the news?"
"Everything is going up," growled
Bulterman. "I don't know what is go
ing to be the end of this."
"And nothing from the Steenth regi
ment? said Grace, tremulously
"Has rot made its mark on the roll
of fame," said Bulterman, with a wink
at his wife, which was indignantly re
pelled. "Has not the bold Private Per
kins kept you informed?"
"She hasn't heard from Harry for
three days," .said Mrs. Bulterman. "it
is so distressing."
"Perfectly agonizing." remarked Bul
terman, sitting down to his soup.
Still, you know pretty well what he is
doing."
"Yes." said Grace, looking off Into
space. "I can see him now. He is the
perfect picture of a soldier. I have
seen him many times, with his patent
leathers, that delicious high collar
white gloves and a rose in his button
hole, marching so beautifully."
"You must think he has gone to a
dress parade," observed Bulterman
with a cruel laugh. "Now, I see him
also."
"Oh. can you pa?" erfed the dear
girl.
"Yes, indeed. He is eatinp dinner.
| In front of him is a plate on which
I reposes a boiled potato and a piece of
; fat bacon. In one hand he holds a
, hunk of bread, in the other a battered
: tin cup containing coffee,"
"The poor boy could never eat in
I such a fashion, or such coarse food "
protested Mrs. Bulterman. angrily.
j "Then the poor boy will go hungry.
I But let us suppose that he is engaged
lin a soldier's duties. I see him stand
i ing guard in a swamp. His trousers
are frayed at the bottom, he wears a
gray flannel shirt, he has not be^n
shaved for a week, and if it wasn't
for his gun you would think that he
was one nf the weary gentlemen who
appeal to the ladies' sympathy at tiie
back door.'
"Pa. you are positively cruel," cried
Grace.
"Or," continued the brute, sttll look
ing at the ceiling, "I see him one
more. He is now digging a ditch with
other Harrys and Willies. He has a
shovel in his hand, his clothes are plas
tered with yellow mud, he is smoking
army tobacco in a short black pip._\
and wondering whether he will have
beans for supper."
"Oh, pa." moaned the shrinking trirl
"is that war?"
"Having served three years in the
last conflict," said the hard-headed and
hearted father, "I can testify that it is.
When Harry returns he will not care
for cigarettes or high collars for five
year 3at least, and he'll only wear pat
ent leathers when he goes to be mar
ried. He has gone away Harry, the
pretty boy; he will come back Hank,
the sensible man."
The One Chinaman In I'nlon Army.
Prom the Washington Post.
The enlistment of a Chinaman in the vol
unteer army in California the other day re
calls the fact that there was but one Celes
tial in the War of the Rebellion. His
Chinese name is unknown, but the name
under which he en];a:»d was Thomas Sylvi-i
--ua. He was born in UaUiinor? about eight
een years before the outbreak of the war.
When only a child he was taken to Pltts
'•g, where he acted as servant for a wcalhv
family in that city. When the. war broke out
Thomas ran away and enlisted in the army.
He served Uncle Sam until the close of the
war, shortly alter which he turned up in In
diana, Pa., where he resided until his death,
which occurred a few years ago.
While in the service of the I'nitcd StatFS.
Sylvanuß contracted a disease of the eyes
from which he almost went blind. In 1880 he
applied for and was granted a pension of $12
per month. He also secured several hun
dred dollars back pension. An examination
of the records discloses the fact that Syl
vanus was the only Chinaman in the late war
and consequently the only one of his race
who drew a pension. At last accounts ■ hi 3
widow and children were, still living to In
diana, Pa.
