Eulogizes the Volunteers and Tells
How Santiago Was Captured.
Following is'the conclusion of
a speech of Gen. Sbafter at Con-
stantine, Mich., before thp reun-
ion of the Nineteenth Michigan
regiment, of which he was colo-
nel during the civil war:
"1 said Toral might march out,
salute his flag before taking it
down aud fire guns and any other
ceremonies he pleased and that 1
would observe what forms I
pleased.
"So they took dowu their flag,
fired their guns and Santiago was
surrendered. It was beautiful
and dramatic. When we raised
our flag the officers took off their
hats aud our guus saluted.
"A lot has been said about lack
of supplies. Wen who go to war
expect to be short rationed some-
times. You old soldiers have oft-
en had much less to eat than the
soldiers ever did at Santiago. My
command during the civil war oft-
en drew corn ou the cob for a
meal
'•It was not a question of hav-
ing supplies when, if we had had
a thousand wagons the fearful
roads would not have let me take
it to the front. But the men had
coffee, bread aud meat. Some-
times they had to pound the cof-
fee in a rag, but you all did that
Some of the men complained, but
they are good soldiers in spite of
Burial of Mlas Winnie Davis.
Richmond, Va., Sept. 23—Va-
riua Anne Jefferson Davis now
sleeps her last sleep iu the bosom
of the land she loved so well.
Her remains were brought to
Richmond at 8:40 this morning.
The casket was immediately tak-
en aud placed iii the St. Paul's
church, after which it was deco-
rated with floral tributes from
several of the southern states.
The funeral service occurred at
3:30 p. m. in the church, the cere-
monies being very impressive, af-
ter which the remains, accompa-
nied by six companies of state
troops, the Richmond Howitzers,
and a vast concourse of people,
were laid to rest in Hollywood
cemetery.
Waco Invaded by Crickets.
Waco, Tex., Sept. 23.—The city
has been invaded by a plague of
of crickets, the like of which oc
curred once before and gave no
end of trouble. In 1890 crickets
entered the city and beat them-
selves to death against the street
electric lamps, choking up the
gutters with their dead bodies
aud causing cocsiderable expenso
to the city for removing the
heaps of dead insects. The pres-
ent visitation is perhaps not so
bad as that which occurred eight
years ago, but it is had enough to
cause people to wish it was over.

Hexican War Veterans.
Louisville, Ky.,Sept. 22.—The
National Mexican War Veterans'
Association met today aud elect-
ed Gen. E. II. Hobson, of Green-
ville, Ky., president; A. L. Ogg,
of Indiana, vice president; Wm.
R. Smith, of Lexington, Ky., sec
retary and treasurer, and Alexan-
der Wilson, of Lexington, Ky.,
corresponding secretary. The
association adopted a report that
the government pension the sur-
viving veterans, or their widows,
at the rate of #1 per day, on ac-
count of the untold wealth they
have added to the United States.
Resolutions were adopted advis-
ing the retention of the Philip-
pines, the estab'ishment of a re-
publican form of government for
Cuba until such time as it might
prove a failure, and the building
of the Nicaragua canal by the
government.
Immediate Evacuation Of Cuba.
Washington, Sept. 23.—A
very peremptory message of in-
struction has been sent to the
Cuban military commission and
by them made the basis of a note
to the Spanish commissioners.
The authorities at Washington
will not make public the terms of
the note, but its general tenor is
that the United States will not be
satisfied with any further delay iu
the evacuation of'Cuna. It is to
