Since pied the Death of Starvation.
Santiago de Cuba, Via Kingston, Ja
maico, July 20. The Red Cross soci
ety's steamer State of Texas has ar
rived, and Dr. Elwell secured eight
stores in the heart of the city and one
large shed on the dock and engaged
eighty stevedores and began to unload
the steamer about 6 o'clock. She had
1,400 tons of provisions on board.
The distribution began at 3 o'clock,
allowing a pound and a half of rations
to each citizen. When the unloading
began, crowds of half starved citizens
rushed to the dock, fighting, trampling,
crowding one another under foot,
breaking open cases and stealing sup
plies. Finally a picket of troops was
placed on the wharf, refusing admit
tance to any one.
The entire cargo had been landed be
fore the distribution began. Each ap
plicant was furnished with a ration
ticket supplied by the local commis
sioners, with General McKlbben's in
dorsement. The water supply of the
city, which was cut off July 3 above
El Caney by General Garcia's troops,
leaves the town without water and will
be turned on again tonight.
" Le ice factory resumed work today,
using the rainwater supply in the cis
terns. All the liquor stores, wholesale
and retail, are closed under General
Shatter's orders, but the Spanish sol
diers have a large stock of rum. which
they are exchanging for our hardtack
and corned beef.
Chinaman Touches Off a Magazine

the attempt to arrest him was made.
The celestial, who was employed In
the works and who caused the awful
explosion, had killed a fellow country,

of the law who went to arrest him.

shortly after the murder and kept
guard over the Chinaman within his
stronghold.

All the officers were armed with rifles.
After repeated demands to surrender
had been made, to all of which the
same reply came. "If you come in here
I will blow up the magazine," the offi
cers retired for the night within the
private office of the company, about
twenty yards away.
This morning at 5 o'clock. Deputy
Sheriff Charles White, after a consulta
tion with-the others, determined to
break down the barricade, not believing
the Chinaman would keep his dastard
ly promise.
Accordingly the entire posse headed
for the door. True to his word, the
Chinaman fired the giant powder and in
an instant a terrific explosion occurred,
killing five officers and blowing the
Chinaman to atoms so small that only
one piece has been found. White's
body was fearfully mangled. It was
found nearly 500 yards away. Koch
was also badly disfigured and was
killed instantly. D. C. Cameron was

and forty sleeping cars will move the
soldiers to Jacksonville. Fla.

A WRETCHED CONDITION.
City of Santiago and Rio Janeiro
Yellow Fever Breeders.
Santiago. Via Kingston. Jamaica.
Julv 21. General Shafter has had a
thorough examination made of the
sanitary condition of Santiago. The
work was done by Dr. Goodfellow of
the general's staff and a civilian phys
ician. Dr. Orlando Dwiker. They find
that although there are at present
but six cases of yellow fever in the
city, in addition to two suspects, the
town is ripe for an epidemic. Santiago
and Rio Janeiro are considered the
greatest fever breeding centers in the
world. This town lacks every san
itary feature at its best, and now. after

With the other deputy sheriffs we

of us would go toward the door and
assure the Chinaman that we would
not hurt him if he came out. The fel

would blow up the place if we attempt

and
it was freely declared that if all the
roads east of the Mississippi and south
of New York could give Nashville
round trip rates for less than the regu

give a better rate than the only one so

one-third the regular one way fare for
round trip tickets.
The regular fare from Chicago to
Omaha Is $12.75, and the only round
trip rate from that city to the expo

fare from Chicago, to Nashville is
$13.50, and the round trip rate from
that city to Nashville during the en

rate is $10. and the regular round

Nebraskans have all taken a keen in
terest in the court martial case of Pri
vate John G. Maher(of the Chadron
company) of the Second regiment of the
Nebraska u. S. volunteers now en
camped at Chlckamauga Park, Ga.
Private Maher Is a native Nebraska
boy, standing over six feet in his
stockings and strikingly handsome. In
order to enlist he threw a position of
court reporter for Judge Westover and
professional associations whicn would
yield him a splendid and lucrative law
practice.
Youne Maher has at all times oeen
conspicous for the brave and Independ
ent-manner in which he has always
stated his position or justified his
actions. Hence, it was no surprise to
his Nebraska friends to hear that Pri
vate Maher had set at defiance all the
big army officers of the camp of fifteen
thousand soldiers, because their haugh
ty orders and the deliberate opinion or
Private Maher clashed over the use
of Private Maher s typewriting machine
and that in the outcome Private Maher
came out of the big muss with colors
flying, while the generals, adjutants,
colonels and the like had to suffer de
feat In the eyes of all the boys.
Mr. Harry E. Re-lsche of Chadron Is
in Omaha, having Just returned from
Camp George H. Thomas. Chickamauga
Park. Ga. Mr. Reische brought along
with him Private John G. Maher's type
writer, the one over which some of
the superior officers cf the camp un
dertook to have him court martialed
for refusing to allow his typewriter,
his private property, from being used
without his aid or consent.
Mr. Reische. In speaking of th In
cident, says:
1 tib in General Rills' office with
Maher at the time orders came from
General Grant's headquarters by an or-
derlv to take possession of Private
Maher's typewriter and mane touneen
copies of an order for a sham battle
at 6 o'clock the next morning.
Mr. Maher was engaged 111 maKing a
transcript at the time of the testimony
in the case of the State of Nebraska
vs. C. C. Stevens for cattle rustling
Stevens now being confined in Jail wait
ing for the transcript that he might
appeal to the supreme court. Mrs
Stevens had written Maher several very
pitiful letters begging him to write eut
the testimony, saying they had five
small children who were dependent on
the fniher for bread. Upon showing
h.e letters to General Bills. Bills
told Maher to make the transcript at
once and do nothing else until he hai
Mr Maher lr.forrr.ed the orderly that
the machine was h:a private property
and brought to Chlckamauga at his jx-
nao and that he did not propuMr-iu
W the government use his private
property. Thereupon the orderly im

quarters and reported the facts to Cap

litely replied:

"Will you sav that to General Grant.
-Ir.deed. 1 will." coolly replied Ma
her. -I would say it to the president
of the United States."
"Rvioit tr, General Grant!" was the
stern command.
Genc-ral Grant '.vas in another tent
and wi.en Maher reached the General s
tent he saluted him In a soldierly man
ner and began:
"Genera! orders came down to Gen
eral BUI a few moments ago to use
my tvpevritr to copy certain orders
on. flie tv.achine is my personal prop
erty. and 1 tu not propose to allow
the government to wear it out copying
orders." , .
"Very fffll" wns all General Grant
said, and Privatr- John Maher return
ed to his machine feeling connoem mm
soldier, and must obey orders from my
superior officers. You can make me
copy those with pen and Ink. but you
cannot make me use my private prop
erty. I will copy the order with pen
and Ink if you like."
Captain Wilson grew pale with rage
at the dignified manner in which Pri
vate Maher refused to obey his orders,
and snatching up the papers he new
out of the office and started in seach
of General Bills. A few moments pass,
ed and Bills rode up and called Maher
out. "John." he began. "I want to ask
a r A iron
a personal ravor or you. won j
kindly make copies of this order on
your machine?"
"Certainly." quickly replied the young
soldier. "I am always glad to do any
thing for you. general, that pleases you.
I will get them out as soon as possible."
"Thank you. very much." said the
general. "You understand. John, I
know you did Just right in refusing
your machine to be used, but under ex
isting circumstances I cannot afford to
fall out with Grant." With this the
general rode away.
"That's the way to treat a man If
you want to get anything out of him."
said Maher as he tame into the room.
"If I am treated right, even though I
did enlist as a private. General urani
or any one else can get anything I
have got: but It will be a cold day
when I lower my pride and knuckle
down to General Grant or anybody
else, flying high because they are
backed by a reputation won by their
ancestors."
"By the way." he continued, "we
have no carbon paper here. Won't you
go over to the Nebraska regiment and
get some of Captain Fisher's carbon?"'

the American pulse leap and the Amer

At the same instant the sound or tne
distant booming of Captain Capron's
battery, firing a salute or twenty-one
gur.s. drifted in. When the music
ceased, from all directions around our
line came floating across the plaza the
strains of the regimental bands and
the muffled, hoarse cheers of our
troops. - ...
