10 THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, AUGUST 6. 1898 SOLDIERS SPIRIT IS AT VERY LOW EBB CAMP AND OAMPEBS ABE PBET TY WELL BROKEN UP. Generals Grahaiu and Butler Aro ' Striving Hard to Keep the Camp Intact and Hay Succeed In Having tho War Department Countermand the Order Which Sends Flvo of tho Regiments on tho General Wade Expedition Movo to Manassas Is Another Blunder. tipoclal from a Staff Correspondent. Camp Alger, Dunn Lorlng. Vu Auk. E. Camp Alger, for the time being, both as regards the disposition of tho troops as well us the spirit of the men Is almost a thing of the past. For several days regiments have been marching to every point of the com pass In order to carry out the orders received to escape the scourge of sick ness which has been ravaging the camp for some time with unabatlng energy. The Second Army corps is now pretty well broken up. The Ninth Ohio, col ored battalion, the Fourth Missouri, the Sixty-nfth New York and the First division hospital being nil that now remains to mark the old camping grounds. The entire First division has been removed to this place, and will remain here, no doubt, till It is cer tain that another change will be dis tinctively for the better. The Second division has nlreadyencnmped.butfrom nil authentic reports received up to the present time, the success of that location as a camping ground Is so very doubtful that It is not likely that ony of tho other commands will bo dis turbed; and, In fact, It Is now well understood that the war department and the high officers of this corps are only looking for a seasonable opportun ity to change their minds as to tho historic Manassas, and to select an entirely new location for this corps. This Is the more probable course, and in all probability the troops will pitch their tents In a week or so on ground Which for camping purposes will be far superior to Falls Church, Dunn Lorlng or Manassas. This is what the men wish most especially if they aro not sent to the front as they aro heartily sick now of all three places. The severe march from here to Man assas and the untold hardships which many of the regiments, especially tho Sixth Pennsylvania, have had to under go, have already prejudiced those who remain against the swamps of the Oe coquan creek. The absence of food and medicine on the march and the heavy load which tho men have had to carry, resulted quite disastrously for many of the men who will remember that march for years to come, one of them having died from sheer hardship, it Is believed. PORTO RICO RUMOR. Tuesday night when it was an nounced through tho First division that the First Connecticut, tho First Rhode Island, the Third Virginia, the First New Jersey, and the Third Mis souri had received orders to prepare for a movement to Porto Rico, the men of those regiments fell upon one an other's neck and went tears of pure joy. They would hardly speak to any body else, and gave vent to the most vigorous enthusiasm, which lasted far into the night, and kept everybody else awake. The next day and yesterday Major Generals Graham and Butler went to Washington, and now tho news slowly reaches tho ears of the enthusi asts that this order also has been countermanded, and that tho tieconti army corps, as at present constituted, will remain Intact indefinitely, and that it will not reap any military honors In Porto Rico. This is depressing Intel ligence all around, and all are guess ing what Is to come next. This morning every company of tho Thirteenth received a much-needed water boiler, the gift of the Woman's National Relief association. They were distributed at oncp, and aro much ap preciated by the boys especially by the quartermaster sergeants. Yesterday afternoon a very Interest ing game of base ball took place be tween teams representing Companies F and R. It resulted 18 to 14 in favor of the former. The star plays were made by Daniel Williams. Lemuel Phillips acted as umpire. Everybody wears a smile today, as It Is tho general expectation that tlnel Sam's paymaster Is expeeted hero to morrow afternoon. A warm time is expected. Last nlsht was not without Its full quota of excitement. The wind blew, the rain fell in torrents, and the tents were In a precarious condition. Re sides this, Company B was called out to quell trouble in the theatre. For the past week a local pugilist has been holding forth, offering $10 to any sol dier or civilian who can stand up be fore him for six rounds. A member of the Eighth regiment undertook to earn this sum, but in the first round trouble arose. Tho break-aways were to be clean, but a foul was claimed by those present and the local pugilist . was declared the loser. Ho protested, and trouble at once arose. Company R was called to quell tho trouble, and the uproar soon subsided. CAMP GOSSIP.

Forty-four years ago como next Oc tober the allied British nnd French armies sat dpwn before Sebastopol to besiege It. That memorable siege lasted for 11 months, when tho Rus sians destroyed their fleet, retreated their army and gave up the place. This was the virtual end of the Crim ean war, and within a few months peace was declared. Wo movo faster In these davs. In stead of 11 months we have but little mni'ii than an 11 days' siege of Santia go, In which short space a lleet Is de stroyed nnd an r.rmy captured. His tory records few military movements of greater celerity. It has been several times pointed out by the military quidnuncs that Santi ago was of no strategical Importance, nnd that Its capture Involved nothing but Itself, This is true enough, nnd It is true still of Sebastopol. When that fortified town was taken the allies were as far away as ever from the heart of Riiislu, but the morn I effect of that v'ttury was tremendous. It awnkenpd tho other powers of Europe to tender their good ofllces between tho contending nations, and It was on the representations of Austria that the negotiations were entered upon that finally led to peace. Tho capture of Santiago docs not glvu us Cuba, as the fall of Havana might, but it stuns Spain and adds im mensely to the commanding position of the American army and navy. BASE BALL.

HIS CRIME WAS, HE SANG OF FREEDOM THE CRUEL SPANIARDS MUR DERED DON JOSE RIZAL. Tragic Story of One of the Most Tal ented Sons of the Spanish Colonies, Who Bade Pair to Become PamoU3 in Literature Arrested and Exe cuted for Inciting Sedition Mar ried to His Sweetheart in Prison Just Before His Execution. From tho New Yoilc Press. Perhaps the saddest and tho most heroic story of the war, as far as Spain Is concerned, was enacted some days ago in the military prison of Bar celona, twelve soldietn and the most promising young poet 'Spain has pro duced for fifty years being the chief performers. As the smoke of tho Mausers cleared away and the provost genera, threw a blanket over tho lifeless form of Don Jose Rlzal the genius of freedom burled her head and tho muses wept. But thocourt-mnrtlal declared that Jus tice had been done and that the honor of Spain was the richer for tho life ended nnd tho heart broken. Aye, it was an affair ot the heart as well ns of politics, for tho priest who attended Don Jose nt tho ditch had laid the poet's hand Into that of n lovely girl ten minutes befoto tho curtain rose upon the last act of tho drama of his life. Don Joso, the notable victim of a war which seems to demand more civilian than military blood, belonged to one of tho proudest old families of Cns tlle. Though scarcely thirty years old. his name was familiar to the Spanish speaking peoples tho world oser. The younger generation and the women generally loved him as one of their most gifted lyric poets; tho world of science and letters looked upon him as an inventor and historian of wonder ful promise. Rich, healthy, energetic, and enthusiastic, ho wns allowed to put into his literary work the best that was In him. Possessing ample means for prosecuting his scientific investi gations, he pushed them to tho utmost length, WROTE IN FREEDOM'S CAUSE. The Rtzals havo always owned large estates in the Philippines, a country Don Jose loved. Two years ago ho sot out for the Islands to make them his home and to study native conditions and folk lore among that poor, down trodden race. His heart went out to them. Every true poet feels for tho oppressed; that Is In the nature of poetry Don Jose, a veritable child as to politics, seems to have let his heart run away with his head. What he felt for tho natives, what ho had seen of the conditions under which thev groaned, he put on paper, nnd his lyre only too generously responded to the rich Impulse of freedom that swayed hlm. He wrote perhaps a dozen poems setting forth the Justice of the Islands demands and calling upon them to de fend their ideale. These poems.conceived in the warmth of a freedom-hungry heart, found ready echo among those to whom they were addressed. The natives, without literature, sadly in need of an Intel lectual leader, began to look upon Don Jose ns their national poet. His songs, written In an easy style, became In an Incredibly short space of time the property of the common people. They were sung nt all their meetings, the women sang them in the fields, the men on their hunting and fishing trips, and especially when they entered upon the warpath. What the poet had Intended for an expression of his own Justice loving soul became a battle cry wholly without effort on his part, and, Indeed, without his knowledge. SNATCHED FROM LOVE'S PATH. On April 1, just a month before Ad mlrul Dewey steamed Into Manila har bor, Don Jose was arrested at the In stance of Governor General Augustl, at the moment when be embarked with a party of friends for the island of Hollo to celpbrato his betrothal with Senorlta Louise Tnufers, a daughter of the former consul general of the German empire, F. B. Tnufera. Rlzal, his intended wife, his new rel atives and friends were dumbfounded The poet was 'unaware of having done anything unlawful. Ho could easily prove thnt ho had no connection with the Insurgents; that, in fact, he was so tnorougn a novice In matters political that he hardly knew the different par ties by name. No matter Augustl had his orders. Rlzal offered his extensive estates as security. He was laughed at. Theso estates had already been confiscated. Consul Feneral Taufers offered ball to any amount. It was refused. After a short feason of incarceration, Don Jose wns cairled to tho man-of-war Cortllla and was sent to Spain. At Barcelona a court-martial forth with assembled to sit upon the case. The crime charged against Don Joso was high treason. Tho proceedings were short and to the point. When Don Jose had con fessed that certain poems attributed to him were products of his pen, "he was already a dead man." it seems anno'jt beyond belief that, ut tho end of the nineteenth century, a man should bo executed for his opln Ions, but such was tho government's Intention from tho start. Rlzal's yam lly and the family of his brldo oxerted themselves vainly In his behalf. A re spite until Don Jose's bride and sis tors had arrived from Manila was nil their efforts yielded. MARRIAGE BEFORE EXECUTION. On May 27 the young women arriv ed; on the same day Senorlta Taufers had an Interview with Don Jose. Siev POWDER found a changed man. The poet, used to light and air, to luxury and free dom, was a broken-hearted mnn, who had withered In the foul prison nlr. lie first lolled to See her. What was he to her, n man condemned to die by powder and lend' But after he had talked to Louise ho consented to nk ft Inst boon of tho Queen Regent ho begged to bo allowed to give his name to the woman he loved. On the evening of May 31 that per mission was gazetted. On tho morning of the following day tho young couplo were quietly married In the prison chapel. Jose and Louise were togeth er for ten irluutes, and tho witnesses to thu scene say that neither spoko a single word after tho ceremony. At the end of tho time tho priest touched Don Jose's arm. It was tho signal that death was waiting. Then the poet fell upon his bride's neck with tho words, "Ml ultimo pensamlento," and a flood of tears broke from his eyes. Presently n platoon of soldiers np pcarcd outside the chapel. Tho com manding ofUcer entered, naked sword In hand. The young wlfo swooned away. Don Jose pressed a last kiss upon her while lips, turned upon his heels, and, holding his head hlgh.walk cd to his death. AMUSING REPARTEES. Speciments of Wit in Which Tenny son Delighted Rules for Prac tice of tho Art. Tennyson bad a small collection of choice repartees. They were not new. They were Indeed even more venerable than the Illustrious author. nit thoy satisfied him, and fulfilled his require ments by being delicate, stinging and ambiguous. People who did not know Tennyson were upt to say, in spite of the Northern Farmer, that he had no sense of humor. There would not, without the Northern Farmer, be much humor In his poems. Rut there was a good deal in his talk, and no man told an amusing story with more effect or more enjoyment. If ho liked, as he did like riddles and puns, so did Hood, nnd Hood was certainly a humorist. Thero seems to be a largo stock of repartees In the world. Mr. Burnand, If wo remember rightly, once under took to supply them for all classes, nnd began nlphnbetlcnlly with a repar tee to an abbe. The point of the Joko was that the repartee was to bo en tirely Independent of anything the nbb had said. But as thero are no longer any abbes, that did not much matter. For the proper use of repartees It Is necessary either to recollect or to un derstand them, and It Is desirable, when possible, to do both. Such was not tho case with nn undergraduate who remarked upon the shortness of a friend's gown, and received for answer, "It will bo long before I buy another." Hugely delighted with this witticism, which is, we believe, In technical lan guage, nn amphlblology he said to tho next acquaintance he met. "My cown Is short, but It will lc a long time be fore I buy another." To his surprise and chagrin, the other merely stared and did not laugh. HVhat are the con ditions of a repartee? It should be courteous In form, severe In substance, difficult either to mistake or to resent. Such was the famous reply of Provost Goodall to William IV., which one of our correspondents has already cited, but which will bear repotlton. "When he goes," said the king, speaking to Keate and pointing to Goodall, "when he goes, I'll make you him." "I couldn't think of going before your majesty," said tho provost, with a pro found bow. Nothing could bo more ab solutely perfect. The king had been brutally rude. The provost was ex tremely courteous. But a sterner re buke was never administered to n mon arch by subject. This Is far better nnd more truly humorous thun Wilkes' smart retort to the prince of Wales. Wilkes was whistling "God Save the King." "How long nave you taken to that tune?" asked the prince. "Ever since I had tho honor of your royal highness' acquaintance." Here the brutality Is on the side of Wilkes and there Is not sufficient provocation to excuse It. Among complimentary repartees the first place must be given for statell ness and dignity to the famous an swer of Sergeant Maynard. The ser geant was presented to the prince of Orange in 1628 as the oldest practicing member of tho bar. The prince ob served rather awkwardly, "You must have survived most of your contempor aries in the law?" "Yes," replied Ser geant Mnynard, 'and If It had not been for your highness I would have sur vived the law, too." That Is the revo lution In a nutshell and one of the groar sayings of tho world. Mr. Glad stone thinks the best repartee he ever heard In the house of commons was Lord John Russell's. Sir Francis Bur den, after turning Tory, taunted Lord John with the "cant of patriotism." "I will show the honorable baronet a worse thing than tho cant ot patriot ism. 1 mean tho recant of patriotism." That, no doubt, Is very clever, being spirited, and was, In the circumstan ces, thoroughly well deserved. But If one? must be hypercritical It Is too purely verbal to rank In the highest class of all. Lord Ellenborough's par liamentary aside strikes us are better. "My lord," said a pomous reer, "I put the question to myself." "And a precious silly answer you must havo got," wns Lord Ellenborough's com ment. Lord Ellenborough, though a chief Justice, did not bay "precious." Language changes, If thought doew not. It Is difficult, however, to 'believe that any member of the house of commons said In debate, "I will have the noblo lord's head." If he did Lord North's prompt retort thnt "for no earthly con sideration would ho have the honor able gentleman's," has great merit. It was veiy funny, it was nt least com paratively polite, and it applied ho weapon of ridicule where any other would have been misplaced. Dr. John son wus a master of repartee. But ho hnd no dellcncy, no lightness of touch. There was some truth In the criticism recorded by Boswell thnt If Johnson's pistol missed flrc.he knocked you down with the butt end. A typical Instance Is the case of poor Miss Harry, whom ho abused so unmercifully for becom ing a Quaker. "Consider, sir, that you must expect to meet her In heaven." "Madam, I am not fond of meeting fools anywhere." That Is vigorous enough. But there Is no real wit In It, and not much more than simple rude ness. If Ersklne actually said to the client who declared that ho would be hanged If ho didn't defend himself, "You'll be hanged If you do," he ought to havo been profoundly grateful for the opening. Thero are remarks, of which this Is one, that seems to havo no other reason for existence than tho suggestion of an obvious repartee. For simplicity and cruelty, nothing could surpass Mr. Rogers' repartee to Lady Davy. "So, Mr. Rogers, I hear you have been attacking me." "At- Connolk Tailor-Made Blouse Suits Of the finest materials and best workmanship. To close out our stock of these garments, we offer them at a great sacrifice. Suits that were sold for $10, $11 and Your Choice Suits worth from $18.00 to $25.00, Choice A Few Blouse Jackets worth from $18 to $21, If you intend to the proper shit for a Connolly & Wallace, 127 and 129 Washington Avenue. tacking you, Lady Davy? I waste my whole time In defending you." For a combination of malice and wit, the col lected works of Voltaire might be ran sacked for a parallel. And whatever we may think of Rogers for saying It, we cannot deny that the lady brought It on herself. She should have let the hedgehog alone. When Mme. de Mntn tenon, after her marriage with Louis XIV., was bewailing her anxieties and wishing she was dead, her brother re marked, "Vous avez, done la parole d'epouser Dieu lo Pore." This is per haps best left in the original French. But its humor is quite equal to Its au dacity. What was the name of tho judge- who proved himself equal, and more than equal, to Dumas? Every one knows the story. Dumas was a witness In n trial held at Rouen. "Your profession, M. Dumas?" "If I were not In tho birthplace of Cornellle, I should call myself a playwright." "Mais 11 y a des degres, M. Dumas," came In honeyed accents from the bench. "There are playrlghts and play wrights," ns wc should say. More delicate Irony It would be hard to Im agine. The ostensible object of the re mark Is to help the witness out of a difficulty which his own modesty has caused. Its actual effect Is to present him ns a conceited coxcomb who thought that by calling himself a dra matist he would be putting himself on a level with Cornellle. When Braban tlo says to logo, "You are a vllllan." Iago. replies, "You are a senator." This Is a cruder form of Irony, but a most deadly one. The late Lord Granville, whose wit was so unostenta tious that It was scarcely appreciated as It ought to have been, had a won derful neatness in hitting the point. A friend whose head showed signs of advancing years consulted Lord Gran ville on the sort of present he could give to a wealthy heiress on her mnr rlnge. "I want something rare, but not expensive," he said "A lock of your hair," suggested Lord Granville urbanely. But nil repartees suffer by being removed from their proper places and put Into a collection. They should arise naturally out of the situation nnd reflect the mood of the moment. Some of the best mny not have been really delivered. They may be the wit of the staircase, concocted afte'r tho event. But so long as they are dramatically rendered, and not huddled together without rhyme or reason, they retain their original flavor and survive the circumstances which gave them birth. SPEED OF INSECTS. Their night More Rapid That That of Birds. It is the popular belief that tho flight of birds Is much swifter than that of Insects, (but a number of naturalists who have been making a study of the matter think that such Is not tho case, A common house fly. for example, Is not verv rapid In Its (light, but Its wings make 00 beats a second, and send It through the air twenty-five feet! under ordinary circumstances, In that space of time. When the Insect Is alarmed, however, It has been found that It Increases Its rate of speed to over 150 feet per second. If It could continue such rapid flight for a mile In a straight line It would cover that distance In exactly thirty-three sec onds. It Is not an uncommon thlmr, when traveling by rail In tho summer time to see a bee or wasp keeping up with tho train" and trying to get In at one of the windows. A swallow Is considered ono of tho swiftest Hying birds, and It was thought until a short time ago that no Insect could escape It. A na turalist tells of an exciting chase he saw between a bwoIIow and a dragon fly, which Is among the swiftest of In sects. The Insect flew with Incredible speed, and the swallow, despite Its ut most efforts, completely failed to over take and capture It .M1 anmvj w m. m "ww- j v "V 5lbhmgton!Ayendiik Choice do any summer mere song.
