Pennsylvania Drlgado Would Do

day and n Dig Demonstration Fol
lowed Interview with Adjutant
General Corbin nt the White Houso
Special from a Start Correspondent.
"Washington, D. C, July 19. At 7
o'clock this evening, while the Thir
teenth was eating lis first meal in its
new homo at Dunn Lorlng, Lieutenant
W. W. Inglls, who Is acting as nn aide
to General Gobln, galloped In from
Camp Alger covered with perspiration
nnd mud and announced positively that
the Pennsylvania brigade had been
notified to be ready 'to move to Porto
Itlco next Friday. At 10.S0 o'clock to
night Adjutant General Corbin said
with equal posltlveness that there
wasn't n word of truth In the story.
When the news from (Icticral Cohln's
headquarters rarl through the two legl
tnents at Dunn Lorlng there was a big
and enthusiastic demonstration. Both
the Thirteenth nnd Eighth loglment
bands assembled hurriedly nnd pluyed
patriotic alls almost Incessantly for
an hour.
The men yelled to beat the band nnd
threw their hats In the air and hugged
one another In their great glee nt get
ting away f.iom Virginia and into the
fighting. Everybody In the two regi
ments was convinced of the accuracy
of the story, but being such an im
portant matter I hastened to Wash
ington to get more of the details.
Through a personal friend of Adju
tant General Corbin I secured entice
to the White House and had an inter
view with the adjutant general.
When the ytory, as I had heard It,
was laid before him, ho said, with
some little petulance, that there was
n"t a wind of truth In it There Is no
present thought of taking any sol
diers from Camp Alger, hi; said, except
the City Troop, of Philadelphia, and
tioops A and C, of New York, and it
Is likely that week.i may elapse before
they are called upon. "It Is regret
table that such a story has gotten
out," the general added, "because of
the unrecessary alarm it occasions nt
tbe homes of the soldiers and excite
ment In the camps."
It rained of com so when the Thir
teenth wii moving to Dunn Lormg to
day. Everything was in lenllness for
the wonl to start at 9 o'clock, hut tilt
discovery war. made that tho well In
tended for the regiment had not
tapped water and directions came from
corps headqimteis not to moc until
fuither nrdcib.
At lL'.SO the further orders came
They directed that the regiment move
at once and use the Kluhth's well un
til Its own was cvnpleted. a regular
floud buiht eame JU3t as the men had
tho canYa packed on the wagons and
their lubber blankc.tr rolled up. Ev
erybody and everything was dienclied
to the skin. At 2 o'clock tho storm
ceased nnd the regiment waded
through the lnter"inlnj two miles of
mud to Dunn Lorlng.
The camp vs uotten in shape be
fore daik, and tonight the lads are
sleeping In Dunn Lorlng confilent of
going to Poito Hlro, but doomed to
rude awakening In the morning.

ECHOES OF THE WAR.
Clement Taylor, of Ulnghamton, who
was on the Brooklyn during tho fight
of July 3, writes:
"It was Just 9.35 a. m. Sunday, July
S. with our crew mustered for inspec
tion, when tho order rang out from
the bridge: 'Clear ship for action!'
That was the first Intimation any one
had that Cervera's ileet was coming
out at last from under the shadow of
gray old Morro's walls. Did we bus
tie? Armor gratlnss went down on
the rim, pumps were started and water
tight doors were closed In about the
same time It takes to tell it. Heie
they come, tho Iufunta Jlnrlo Teresa,
flagship, In the lead, closely followed
by the Vlzcaya, Oquondo, Cristobal
Colon and torpedo boats, In order
named. As fast us they steam out
they open fire, nnd as tho Brooklyn la
stationed Just to the west of the en
trance, with the rest of cur fleet two
mllea awuy to the eastward, wo get
the whole fire of tho four ships as they
come out.
"Immediately tho rest of our fleet
starts in our direction to give r.j a
hand, but as the Spaniards are steam
ing to'tho westwuid, the Brooklyn
hurls in, broadside after broadside,
pelts their armor with Shells, sweeps
their deckS'WUh shrapnel. The smoke
Is dense and the noise something aw
ful. As we draw closer to each other
the smoke lifts a little? and w see
the Vlzcaya suddenly eheer off to port
and attempto ram us. The air Is
full of bursting shells and heavy guns
are blazing on all tildes. The Span-
lards have now got us between them
nnd as a curtain of smoke settles down
all about tho ship, the captain of tho
Vixen, who la coming to their assis
tance at full Bpeed, says to his crew:
'Boys, yon have seen the Brooklyn
for the last time.'
"Shells were, tearing through our
sides, ripping the smcko stacks and
hammering the armor belt. As our
head slowly 'swung to etarboard tho
Vlzcayu got the contents of the whole
battery of that side at close range, and
she Immediately took fire. The Oregon
now steamed Into tho fight, her crew
rheerlng us like mad men. Up went
Schley's signal: 'Remember the
Mnlnet' The fury of the guns doubled.
Santiago bay was now n living hell
of fire, smoke and carnage.
"It could not last, The Murlit Teresa
Is now on fire nnd while the Texas
tears great gaps In her sides, she
heads for the beach and strikes her
colors. The Cristobal Colon then breaks
out of tho licet and starts up the coast
at n nineteen knot gnlt. The Brook
lyn stnrts In n hot chnse, leaving the
Iowa nnd Texas to finish up. Tho
Colon gains nt first, for wc have only
three boilers going. 'More steam' la
the cry.
"They Jab those fires like demons.
Tho gap between us Is soon closing.
The Oregon nnd Vixen follows In the,
distance. After nn exciting chase of
over three hours we ngaln begin to
throw eight-inch shells Into her nnd
she lets go n last broadside, runs up
on the bench and hauls down the Hag.
Wc lost one man. killed, one wounded
nnd no ships. The Brooklyn was hit
thirty-eight times, nnd It is nlmost n
miracle that she Is ulloat today."
James H. Murphy, of Hawley, n for
mer resident of this city, was one of
the marines mnded at Guantanamo
bay several weeks ago before the aril
val of Shatter's men. lie took part
In the fighting there nnd had also the
good luck to bo In the naval engage
ment of July r.l. In a letter to a frland,
he writes; "Friday night the Iowa
came here (Guantanamo bay), and the
New Orleans came down here and ask
ed for l'JO marines to man the ships
of the fleet, and it was my luck to be
sent. I wns put on the Oregon. When
we got where Scdiley-was, we were told
that the Spanish fleet was coming out
to meet nuifl. Sure enough Sunday
morning we saw them coming out of
the harbor. Well, wc knew we could
lick them, but did not expect to get
off as easy as wo did."

DREAD Ttir. WORLD OVER.
Materials From Wmcn the Staff of
LK in Sometimes Made.
From the Sanitary itccorn.
It Is a curious nnd Interesting study
to compare the various materials which
serve the different nations of the world
us the basis of their bread. In this
country, where good biead. mnde from
spring and fall wheat Hour, Is within
the reach of nil, raiely n thought Is
given to the fact that, after all, the
I inhabitants of only a small portion of
me can:: s surtace enjoy sucn a ioou.
In the remoter parts of Sweden the
poor people make and bake their rye
bread twice a year, and store the loaves
nway, so that eventually they are as
hard as bricks. Further north still
bread Is made from barley and oats.
In Lapland, oats, with the Inner bark
of the bine, are used. The two to
gether, well giound and mixed, are
made irto large Hut cakes, cooked In
a nan over the fire. In dreary Kam
chatka, pine or birch bark by Itself,
well macerated, pounded nnd baked,
frequently constitutes the whole of the
native bread food.
The Icelander scrapes the "Iceland
moss" off the rocks and grinds It Into
fine flour, which serves both for bread
and puddings. In some parts of Siberia,
China nnd other eastern countries, a
fairly palatable bread Is made from
buckwheat. In parts of Italy chest
nuts are cooked, ground Into meal nnd
used for making bread. Durra. a va
ilety of the millet, Is much used In the
countries of India, Egypt, Arabia und
Asia Minor for maklnn bread. Rice
bread Is the stuple food of the Chinese,
Japanese, and a larse portion of the
inhabitants of India. In Persia the
bread Is mnde from rice flour and milk:
It Is called "Lawash." The Persian
oven Is built in the ground about the
size of a barrel. The sides re smooth
mason work. The fire Is built at the
bottom and kept burning until the wall
or sides of the oven are thoroughly
heated. Enough dough to form a sheet
about one foot wide and about two
feet Ions is thrown on the bench, and
rolled until about as thin as sole
leather, then It Is taken up and tossed
and rolled from one nrm to the other
und flung on a board and slapped on
the side of the oven. It takes onlv a
few moments to bake, and when baked.
It Is spread out to cool. This bread Is
cheap (one cent a sheet); It Is sweet
and nourishing.
A specimen of the "hunger bread"
from Armenia Is made of clover seed,
flax, or linseed meal, mixed with edi
ble grass. In the Molucca Islands the
starchy pith of the sago palm furnishes
a white floury meal. This Is made up
Into flat oblong loaves, which are
baked In curious little ovens, each
oven being divided into oblong cells to
lecelve the loaves Bread Is also made
of loots in some parts of Africa, and
South America. It is made from man
lop tubers. These roots are a deadly
poison If eaten in the raw state, but
make a good food If properly prepnred.
To prepare It for bread, the roots are
soaked for seveial days In water, thus
washing out the poison: the fibres are
picked out, dried, and giound Into flour.
This is mixed with milk, If obtainable,
If not water is used. The douzh is
formed Into little round loaves, nnd
baked In not ashes or nnod In the sun.

VERY DANGEROUS TASK.
Construction of n, Sower Elghty-ono
Feet Long Oavo City Engineer
SomotJilng to Worry About.
One of tho most cDhgerous pieces of
work performed for some time under
the direction of the street commissioner
Is ncniing completion. It is u twenty
Inch sewer. 81 feet long, connecting
Carbon street with tho main sewer of
the Fourth district which follows tho
bed of tho old Pino Brook that for
years ha8 been hidden from view.
Undtr the brIJges of tbe Lackawanna
Iron and Steel company und the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western com
pany between Capotiso uvenuo and tho
river Is a depression In Carbon street
nnd every time a big ruin storm oc
curs the water lodges In this depres
sion, blocking tho Providence line of
tho Scrauton Rallwny company and
flooding nearby properties.
Mud and refuse of all kinds Is carried
to this spot and has to be removed
after the water dlsappeats, John E.
Roche, the select councilman of tho
Seventh ward, after persistent effort
secured from council enough of money
to build n short line of sewer to relieve
this spot of Ub accumulation of water
during severe stoi ins, and the work
was done under the direction of tho
city engineer.
The excavation had to be made In
tho form of a tunnel with the entrance
directly under the nbutment of the
pier which supports the Lackawanna
Iron and Steel company's bridge on
the south side of tho street. The tun
nel went entirely through made ground,
comprised principally of rlnders, nnd
passed under two railroad tracks be
fore tho main sewer was reached. The
tunnel had to be kept closely boarded
all the time. Even lit the smallest
space between the boards the cinders
and dirt wdUld bo forced by the rail
road trains passing overhead.
The big steam trip hammer In Dick
son's blncksmlth shop close by also
added to the difficulty of conducting
the work. Every time It descended
tho effect could be plainly felt and
seen In the tunnel. City Engineer
Phillips Is glad that the work Is prac
tically finished nnd that no accidents
occurred.
A large basin will be constructed at
tho mouth ot the sewer und the en
trance to It will be three fept long nnd
nine InohcH deep. Two perpendicular
and ono horizontal Iron bars will guard
the entrance.
DROWNING ACCIDENT.
Joseph Snowden Sinks While En
deavoring to Save His Son.
A sntl drowning accident occurred
at Plltston yesterday. Joseph M.
Snowden and his two sons, Bert
and iioward, at,ed 8 and 10, were
fishing i.i the Susquehanna river
when Howard got Into deep water and
was rapidly sinking when his futher
went to the rescue. Snowden struggled
with the boy for some time nnd then
sank himself from exhaustion.
A man from shore then came to the
rescue and saved the son, but the
father had gone down for tbe last time.
The body wns recovered some time
later.
Mr. Snowden was a good swimmer,
and It is the opinion that while he was
pushing his son toward land he swal
lowed a quantity of water, which
strangled him and led to his death.
Justice ot the Peace James It. Ehret
empaneled a coroner's Jury nnd viewed
the body, after which it wn removed
to the family home.
The shock to Mr. Snowden's family
is severe. A family of five children
survive. The following brothers and
slste. surlve: Thomas J. of this
city, Ellhu S of Denver, and Mis. R.
G. Bennett, of West Pittston. Mr.
Snowden was thirty-eight years of age.
Nearly all his Ilfo Mr. Snowden had
been a member of the Broad Street
M. E. chuich and at tho time of his
dgtf h he was a member of the official
board. He was nbo a member of Pitts
ton lodge, I. O. O. F. His employment
was that of a hoisting engineer at the
