THE LOST KISS.
"JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY.
I put by the half written poem,
While the pen idly trailed in my
hand
Writes on: "Had I words to com
plete it,
Who'd read it, or who'd under
stand?" But the little bare feet on the stairway,
And the faint, smothered laugh in
the hall,
And the eerie, low lisp in the silence,
Cry up to me over it all.
So I gather it up where was broken
The tear-faded thread nf mv thama:
TeTlihg how, as one night I sat writing
Arfairy broke in on my dream ; '.
A little inquisitive fairy
My own little girl, with the gold
Of the sun inlier hair, and the dewy
uiue eyes or trie mines of old.
'Twas the little girl that I scolded
, '"For was it a moment like this,"
I said, "when she knew I was busy,
To come romping in for a kiss?
Come rowdying up from her mother,
And clamoring there at my knee,
For one 'ittle kiss for my dolly,
And one 'ittle uzzer for me;
God pity the heart that repelled her.
And the cold hand that turned her
. ; away! rf
And take, from the lips that denied
her.
This ansvverless prayer of tp-day !
Take, Lord, from my memory forever.

Washington, May 15. The dis
patches from Hong Kong brought
welcome news to-day from Admiral
Lewey to the President, and particu
larly to Secretary Long and the naval
officials who are watching the Ad
miral's movements with so much in
terest. While no apprehension exist
ed as to his security, nevertheless re
assurance of safety is always pleasant.
The telegrams indicate mat Dewey
has lost none of the prestige gained in
his memorable fight of two weeks ago
and that while he refrains from taking
the city of Manila he has it practically
at his mercy. The Admiral expresses
the belief that the rebels are
hemmine in the city by land, but
the fact that he says explicitly, that
they have made do demonstration
seems to disprove thoroughly the pub
lished report that they had already en
tered Manila 'and had begun a career
of bloodshed and rapine. The best
evidence of the effectiveness of the
blockade maintained by the American
Admiral and also nf tha nrnvlr nf fha
insurgents in surrounding the city is
shown in the statpimpn fa in tha Ala.

obtain from the sea. A number of
these men have been captured at differ

released after having been questioned
by our officers. They all unite in
picturing the state of things at Havana
as being pitiful in the extreme.

Kate Spencer has accumulated all the
facts obtainable along the blockading
line, the latest news being obtained
through two captures made by the
United States gunboat Machias, which
has just returned here for the first
time since the blockade opened, mak
ing the longest single service of any
blockading vessel off Cuba.
The Machias caught two fishing
boats off Havana just before her re
turn here. The Americans offered the
nsnermen money for part of their
catch, as ' the fish wns nuwloil nr.

at taxing money. They preferred to
have bread, adding that they were
desperately hungry.
As to Yellow Fever.

ADout Havana the situation is even
worse. Hundreds of reconcentrados
i rom ixos ri osas, tne big reconcentra
dos barracks in Havana, ware too weak
to walk out of the town and fell in the
streets or died in the suburbs, where
UOCKS Ot VUltllres "Wevler'c hlnlr
ens" as they are termed in Havana,
have feasted on the remains.
In Matanzas this feature of the situ
ation is equally distressing.
The fishermen who have been
brought here are mostly soon recon

bread riots must follow i n oil f Via
large towns, as food is reserved ex-

Finally, the fishermen say that cer

iards threaten to burn Havana or
blow the city up in the event of the
authorities deciding to capitulate to the
American forces.

San Francisco, May 15. The
United States cruiser Charleston is still
at Mare island and nothing definite
can be learned regarding the time of
her departure or whether or not she
will convoy one or more of the troop
ships which have been chartered to
take the supplies and men to Admiral
Dewey. It has been given out un
officially that the first shipload of men
will leave to-morrow or Tuesday, but
this is impossible unless the men go
almost totally unprepared for the
duties they may be required to perform
in the Philippines. They have not
been supplied with sufficient clothing,
or arms and ammunition. The quarter
master's department is unable to sup
ply the thirty days rations necessary
for the first month's services,
and these must be secured before
any of the troops can leave. Orders
have been received to get the First
regiment ready for departure. The
City of Pekin, doubtless, will be the
first vessel ordered to the Philippines,
and she is not in condition to receive
the troopsbut a large force of men is
at work on her and she will be pre
pared for the reception of men on
twenty-four hours notice.
The steamers Australia, City of Syd
ney and Ohio are being gradually pre
pared for service as transports, but it
will tako at least a week or ten days
before they will be ready for sea. It
is given out to-day that the steamer
tonemaugh has not been chartered by
the government, as previously stated.
Washington, D. C, May 15. -It
was announced definitely to-night
that the transport ship City of Pekin,
now at San Francisco, would sail for
Manila to-night or to-morrow with
about a regiment and a half ot-the
volunteers already selected for the
expedition. Other forces destined for
Manila will be hurried to San Fran
cisco as rapidly as possible, and will be
sent to the support of Admiral Dewey
as soon as they can be thoroughly
equipped.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYBUP0FHGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, bat also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Sraup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
' imitations manufactured -by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig SrRtrp Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its benefleial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, May 15. After going
over the situation last evening with
General Miles, Adjutant General
Corbm and the heads of the supply
departments, the Secretary of War
made an order for the assignment of
volunteer troops now being mustered
into the service of the United States
and designated points where they will
assemble with the least possible delay.
This step was rendered necessary from
the fact that the State
very fast relinquishing control of
troops that are passing oyer the muster
line under the authority of the general
government. It became necessary to
assemble these troops at once in
order to meet the problem of their
subsistence, no less than that of
their equipment in the way of
arms, clothing, camp and garrison
Huijiage, w say notning ot the su
perior advantage of drill and instruc
tion under trained officers, as it is the
intention that it shall be in every in
stance. The officers to organize these
troops into brigades and divisions will
be determined upon very soon and be
ordered to stations accordingly. The
impression that seems to obtain that
any particular corps or camp will
have superior advantage over others
m being sent to the front is wholly
erroneous. The distribution of camps
was made upon the lines of transporta
tion and supplies. The supply de
partments will have a depot in each
camp, which can be more readily
reached than the troops could at their
rendezvous in their several States.
At the flnsp nf aarrvnlr nut.l. -X
b o clock, the total number of tmnns
mustered was 65,000. Taking into
consideration the careful physical ex
amination to which these men have
been subjected, the progress has been
wonderfully rapid.
The order assigning the troops has
been issued, and contains tin follow
ing: One regiment of South Carolina in
fantry to Chickamauga.
To department commanders: One
regiment North Carolina infantry
one battalion South Carolina infantry
and one battery (heavy). i
One battalion Virginia infantry to
Washington, D. C.
One regiment North Carolina in
fantry to Tampa, Fla. ; also two regi
ments Virginia infantry, same place.
