Harry Schweitzer sac-
rificed his life to save his playmate,
Fred Disque. at Wilkes-Barre. The
attle fellows were playing on a railroad
crack after a storm, and amusing them-
selves by damming a stream of water
cunning between the ties. As Schweitz-
er went to get a shovelful of earth a
train dashed around a sharp curve.
Disque had his back to the oncoming
rain and was kneeling down. Seeing
Disque did not hecd the approach of
‘he train Schweitzer sped back to him
and pulled him off the tracks but,
‘hough he got Disque clear of the rails,
hc was struck and ground to pieces.
The engineer said it was as brave an
act as he ever saw.

A cloudburst swept the valley in which
Hallstead is located, doing great dsm-
ge to property and nearly drowning
several families. The cloudburst came
shortly after 10 o'clock during a heavy
‘hunder shower in which houses were
struck and barns destroyed and much
lamage done. The waters rushed down
the hillsides and Wiley creek rose ten
eet in a few moments, flooding cellars
and imprisoning sleeping families in
heir dwellings. Stock of all kinds was
washed into the torrent and drowned.
Barns were undermined, collapsed and

ONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
ucleus of Cuban Army.
Cuba h@s begun the organization o
an army, the details of which have been
received at{the War Department. The
wcleus has already been organized and
‘comprises 150 Cubans, who are to be
itationed at{ the Cabana Fortress.
Capt. D. B, Aultman, of the Artillery
Corps, has been in charge of the re-
sruiting, discipline and training of the
men, who have now become capable
soldiers. The requirements for —- re-
‘ruits are the same as are applied to men
enlisted for the American army, except
that the period of service is for two
years instead of three, while the chest
measurement of recruits may be lower-
ed one inch on account of the smaller
stature of the Cubans. The uniform
will be of khaki, with a distinctive in-
signia, such as knots on the shoulders.
The cap will be similar to that worn by
the rural guard and the leggings the
same as those in use by the police of
Havana.
The pay of these Cuban soldiers will
be the same as that of soldiers of the
Artillery Corps of the army, and pay-
ments are to be made monthly from the
island funds. The recruits will be in
structed in the school of the soldier
and, when thoroughly proficient there-
in, well trained and disciplined in the
coast artillery defenses. This is the
first step toward the formation of a Cu
ban army.
Receipts Show a Decrease.
The month!v statement of the collec-
tions ol interna. revenue shows that for
July, 19n1, the total receipts’ were $29,-
343.800, a decrease, as compared with
July, 1000, of $77,404. The receipts from
the several sources of revenue are given
as follows:
Spirits $10,234,432, increase $867.472;
tobacco $3,475,673, decrease $1,680,623;
fermented liquors $0.070,418, increase
$1,368,106: oleomargarine $406,002, in-
crease $71,881: special taxes not else-
where enumerated $3,381,508. increase
$414,977; miscellaneous $2,055,771, de-
crease $1,430,300.
Postal Card Bids Opened.
The bids for supplying postal cards to
the Government for the next four years
were opened in the office of the Third
Assistant Postmaster-General.
Seven bids were made, the lowest be-
ing that of the present contractor, Albert
Daggett, of Piedmont. W. Va. He agrees
to supply 3,000,000,000 large size cards
at the rate of 21 75-100 cents per 1000.
the small size cards at 17 50-100 cents
| per 1000 and the double cards at 42 cents
| per 1000.

business.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Hackett
received the reply of Admiral Schley to
the letter recently submitted to him by
the department declining to question
Rear Admiral Howison as to the authen-
ticity of the alleged interview with him
reflecting upon Admiral Schley. The re-
ply was sent to Captain Lemley, judge
advocate of the court of inquiry. This
means that, so far as the department is
concerned, further action on the Howi-
son incident will not be taken, that be-
ing left to the court.
The collector at Nogales, Ariz., Wil-
liam M. Hoey, and Deputy and Chinese
Inspector B. F. Frank How and
another Chinaman. who lives at Clifton,
Ariz., have been arrested on the charge
of being implicated in smuggling Chinese
into the United States.
Striking bricklayers at the Washington
Navy Yard returned to work, their de
mand for union wages having been
granted.
The ig Alabama has been ac
cepted by the Navy Department.
Important dispatches bearing upon
the Schley controversy are missing from
the Navy Department records. One of
the missing documents was important,
in that it proved dereliction on the part
of Admiral Sampson. Acting Secreta
Hackett had a conference with Admiral
Schley’s counsel.
Our New Possessions.
Owing to the extreme difficulties of
communication and the diversified lan-
guages in use the Philippine Commis-
sion found it impossible to unite the
civil governments of Isabela De Lu;
with that of Nueva Viscaya. For t
reason special legislation had to be
adopted for the Province of Nueva Vis-
caya.
