Down the gang vlank of the Lucania early Jast evening walked a short, stockily built man with a short gray beard, wear- ing a light checked suit and a brown derby hat. His name, as it appeared among the “additions” to the passenger list, was Mr. Richard, but his face and form were fa- miliar to the crowd of democrats gathered on the wharf as those of Richard Croker, the leader of Tammany Hall and the rival of David B. Hill. Mr. Croker made no explanation of his purpose in concealing his identity. His son, Herbert, who came with him, was de- scribed in the passenger list as “Mr. Her- bert.” If he hoped to escape notice he did not succeed, for all Pammany has been in a flutter for the last week in expectation of his coming. Mr. Croker had nothing of importance ‘o say about politics last night, but he wasted no time about getting back into the har- ness. As soon as he had seen his trunks through he drove to the Democratic Club, in the Savoy Hotel, and quickly retired to a private room with John F. Carroll for a long talk with Mayor Van Wyck, who was waiting. Chief Devery, who has succeeded Mc- Cullagh since Mr. Croker went away, was in_the hotel to offer thanks. Mr. Croker looked strong and hearty after his vacation, and was in high spirits when he landed. He has gained in weight during his trip to England. He occupied a state room with his son near those set apart for the Vanderbilt party, and he made himseif popular with the other pas- Sengers, to whom he was, as usual, an ob- ject of curiosity. Though it was his wish that his return should not be made the occasion of any celebration, some of his friends went down to quarrartine to meet him. On the revenue cutter were his secretary, Thomas F. Smith; Senator Thomas F. Grady, A drew Freedman, Maurice Untermeyer, Dr. W. T. Jenkins, his brother-in-law; former Senator John Fox, Assistant Corporation Counsel Thomas ‘Creamer, Montgomery Ward and Dr. J. L. Seeney. A tugboat carriad Peter F. Mcyer, his business part- ner; Deputy Controller Michael T. Daly and several others. He said that he had attended the Ameri- can dinner in London on the Fourth of July, and that it was very hot. He then asked for news of the war, and laughed when he heard that four Spaniards had been kiNed in Porto Rico. “People in England are as much inter- ested in the war as they are over here,” he said. ‘They talk about nothing else. Mr. Croker was informed that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt had been spoken of as the republican candidate for governor. “Roosevelt!” said he. “Has he been wounded?” When he heard that he had not, but that peed bad a horse killed under him, he said: “Then he doesn’t count. either wounded or killed.” Mr. Croker would not talk about the re- moval of McCullagh and his appointment under the new election law. Neither had he anything to say about David B. Hill's activity or the visit to England of Judge Traux and Judge Cohen to help him make up the judicial slate. Judge Traux has taken Wantage, his English house, for the summer. Mr. Croker said that he would go to Long Branch for a few days, and then per- haps to Maurice Untermeyer's cottage in the Adirondacks, though he may go to Saratoga. John F. Carroll, his first lieutenant, was waiting for him on the Cunard pier with a crowd of Tammany officials and leaders. Mr. Croker will probably be Senator Mur- phy’s guest at Long Branch over Tuesday. if not, he will go to Hollywood with Mr. Carroll. A man must be ——+ e+ ___ BODIES FOUND AT SEA. Among the Three ‘Was That of Rene Gaillard of New Orieans. The articles taken from corpses of vic- tims of the Bourgogne disaster, by the cap- tain and crew of the schooner Delight, and brought to St. John’s, N. F., have served to positively establish the fact that one of the bodies is that of Rene Gaillard of New Or- leans. He was bound for Paris. His purse, with his name on it, passage ticket, bag- gage checks, money and letters, were re- covered, as were also his gold watch and a letter, apparently from his wife, written from New Orleans, June 29, bidding him a tearful good-bye. Another body was that of ar elderly wo- man, aged about fifty-five, with gray hair, and dressed in a black skirt, with green lining, a black jacket and black knit bloom- ers. She wore three rings, a solid gold wed- ding ring, another gold ring with a pearl and two diamonds, and the third ring was one of iron. A girl, about twenty-five, dark, slight, apparently a French or Italian gentlewoman, had one gold ring, which was removed. The ring had a plain dark stone, almost square. This woman had on gold earrings, shaped like twisted wire, but they Were not removed, as it would have cut the flesh. She wore a white dress and white blouse, and had cuff studs of bone, inlaid with a circle of gold. +2 ____ Cornelius Vanderbilt, Sr..s, Return. Cornelius Vanderbilt, his wife, Miss Van- derbilt and Alfred G. Vanderbilt arrived at CUBAN AFTERMATH Some Reminiscencer of the Recent Campaign. WR. PEPPER'S PERSONAL EXPERIENCES Battles.With Land Crabs Not the _ Least Annoying. SOME TRAGIC INCIDENTS Written for The Evening Star. Incidents of the campaign in Cuba are more pleasant in retrospect than they were in the happening. The experiences were unique and entertaining, but certain feat- ures of the campaigning were not so much appreciated at the time as they were when the hardships were over. Much of it was common to all, even to the reinforcements, including the Ohio regiments and the Dis- trict of Columbia troops. These plodded their way to the front through mud and rain, which gave them a vivid idea of what marching in the wet really meant. It was an Ohio company whose members declared they swam all the distance from Siboney to the outposts in front of Santiago. Camp life is giving them all further experiences, which will enable the later troops to swap reminiscences with the yeterans who took Part in the first march overland. Battles With Lui Crabs, One of the things about which every re- turned soldier will have a story to tell will be his battles with the land crabs. These crabs are warriors. They fight sturdily, and, unlike the Spaniards, they do not de bend on intrenchments. They resisted the American invasion fiercely, and they made nightly attacks. The Cuban land crab is considerably larger then a man’s hand. Its body is parti-colored, and the hues are brilliant. The soldiers who did not pretend to a knowledge of natural history said they had movable eyes and adjustable legs. These legs keep their bodies off the ground and give the land crabs a peculiar means of locomotion. They seem to travel edge- wise, and in getting over the ground when it is dry they make a noise like the crack- ling of bushes. When the ground is wet, which is oftener the case, their movement is like that of a suction pump. In time they came to be nicknamed “the Spanish army. Everybody had his struggle with these creatures. Sometimes the stillness would be broken by a howl of dismay, and some- body would shoot out of a tent as if mad. The disturbed camp would half awaken, hear the mutter, “land crabs,” swear a little and settle down to sleep, only to be disturbed in a few minutes by another vic~ tim. One night when all was calm the quiet _was broken by sharp commands from an officer's tent, “Sergeant, get an ax and kill that d—4 thing quick.” “That d—a thing” was a land crab. When the officer's tentmate suggested that instead of an ax the sergeant should get the dynamite gun there was a chorus of approval. Used to Them in Mexico. On another occasion camp discipline was threatened by an Arizona trooper, who had @ shelter tent all to himself. He had been amusing his companions with a bottleful of huge fireflies and had been telling them stories of life on the plains. Later, sounds of hilarious greeting came from his tent. “Why, Bill, old pard,. stay right here. Hain’t seen you for a long while. How are ye, anyhow?” There was no audible re- sponse, but the supposition was that an old comrade had turned up and was recei ing a western welcome. The trooper’s ex- uberant talk kept growing louder and more hilarious without bringing a reply un- til finally curiosity moved several of his comrades to take a peep into the tent. What they saw caused a roar of merriment. The Arizonian was stretched at full length, his head propped upon his right elbow, hi: left hand holding the bottle of fireflies, which lit up the interior of the tent so that every object could be seen clearly. On the edge of his blanket was a land crab of un- usual size, evidently uncertain whether to advance or retreat. The trooper's explana tion was brief: “Like seein’ old friends, = said. “Used to camp with ‘em in Mex- ico.”” I do not recall any one whose nerves were Proof against a visitation from these land crabs. Lying comfortably in a hammock the first night passed in the field, it was intensely amusing; to watch the frantic struggles of two companions who through force of circumsiances made their beds on some twigs spread over the earth. A troop of land crabs came that way. After the sleepers had been thoroughly aroused and had awakened everybody within sev- eral hundred feet by their clamor, they be- gan laying about them vigorously with sticks. The crabs were beaten back, but returned to the attack. Ultimately ‘they beat a noisy and disorderly retreat, yet they had made their mark on two impres- sionable natures, and at regular intervals during the remainder of the night ba tles were fought with imaginary troops of and crabs. Retribution for enjoying the mis- fortunes of others came the next night. when, after a weary day's tramping, I fell asleep on the ground and was awakened by the clammy embrace of half a dozen of the common enemy. It was an unpleasant choice to make between enduring their presence and climbing a tree, which was a favorite resort of the green lizards. What the choice was is not important, but the Cuban lizards, while sociable, are far less aggressive than the land crabs. ~ Correspondents’ Equipmen: Keeping with the outposts of the army during the first week of the advance on Santiago from the seacoast called for some qualities which were neither strictly jour- nalistic nor military. Most of the war cor- r2spcndents left Tampa amply equipped as to baggage. If a month had been taken to get the troops before the city and then a regular siege had been laid the civilians whose professional duties r2quired them to be along- would have been able to settle down to it quite comfortably. They had | provided themsclves with horses, saddles and saddle bags, tnts with flies, cots, ham- mocks, camp stools, mosquito nets, medi- cine chests, eating and cooking utensils, pistol and cartridge belts, sombreros, ran. uals of military tactics, War Department maps, copy paper, fountain pens, Olle: dorfs and “Spanish Taught at a Glance, stamped envelop:s, blankets, soap, pipes, rubber wash basins, shaving mugs, hand mirrors, cavalry boots, leggings, spurs, flan- nel shirts, mackintoshes, cameras, visiting cards, air pillows, rubber blankets, hunting jackets, umbrellas and various articles of personal adornment. The war correspond- ent in full regalia at Tampa and subs2- quently “a few of him” in Cuba was as imposing as a militia general at annual muster. The first blow came when no trans- portation was obtained for the horses. How- ever, all the rest of the accout2rments were loaded on the transports, unloaded at Dai- quiri and carefully guarded. Some of the equipments afterward, when taken in home- opathic sections, did prove useful, but in order to move with the army it was neces- sary to discard baggage except the soldier's roli woolen blanket and poncho or rubber blanket—and canteen. The toothbrush was saved by sticking it through the hat band, soldier fashion. Equipped in this manner in light marching order it was possible to keep up with the vanguard of the troops, though in the heat of the tropical sun there was often a sore temptation to throw away the blanket roll. Some of the veterans of campaigns in Burope, Asia, Africa and other parts of the world stood it for a couple of days and then dropped out. They were severely crit- jeal of American military methods which afforded so little chance for personal com- @ branch of military science. Four of us, who were organized into a mess for self- Preservation, by combining our energies managed to solve the problem of daily bread. The party included Mr. Maurice Lew of Washington and Mr. Stegmar and Mr. Sams of New York. It was a!wayr Possible to secure an order from General heeler for three days’ rations. The time of two members of the party was con- stantly taken up in locating the commis- sary Supplies and then getting the rations. The difficulty was due to the simple fact that men can march faster than. pack trains, and tt took time to bring the tions to the troops at the front. : several days the regimen was somethi like the following: sete! Bill of fare, Santiago outworks, June 2%, 1Sus, - Breakfast Nauve fruits, mangoes (forbidden by the doctors). Coffee, with grounds, Cocoanut milk Hard tack, plain. Dinner, Bacon, fried. Hard tack, fried in bacon grease, Hard tack, plain. Raw tomatoes, canned Native fruits, mamalitas, or sour (forbidden by the doctors) Coffee, without grounds. Supper: Bacon, fried crisp. Hard tack, sweetened and fried in bacon grease. Hard tack, plain mY Coffee, with grounds Native fruits, limes (forbidden by the doctors). With hunger for a sauce, meals o* this kind were relished, though they became monotonous, and ‘sometimes a protest vould be lodged against the uniformity of the dishes served. In time the commissary department was able to increase {ts sup: plies, and canned beef, beans, soda crack ers, and occasionally soup, made living at the front more than tolerable. A genuine banquet was enjoyed one day when Rob- erts wandered out to the front, fresh from the transport ships, protesting that his petite was cloyed with roast beef eand- wiches, and he must have hard tack for a change or perish, He had four sand- wiches in his haversack—one for each of us. Nothing ever tasted quite so good as those two slices of bread with the meat be- tween them. Roberts had hard tack enough pressed on him to supply a reei- ment. Furthermore, on his making known @ fondness for limes, his pockets were stuffed with them. Up to then the limit of hospitality hed been to offer a guest a sitgle small lime, for the tree which Mr. Stegman had discovered was no: bounti- fully loaded, and the fruit might give out The Tragic Side. From the lighter incidents of the cam- paign to the tragic was often a swift tran- sition. The first night out from Daiquiri several of us found lodging in the sawmill at Siboney where General Hawkins was making his headquarters, and the soft side of a bench proved a luxurious couch in comparison with later experiences, Officers who had been busy from early morning till late at night remembered that they bj had nothing to eat. Among the most active was Adjutant General Horton, who began his military training as a member of the Washington High School Cadets. His ac- tivity in looking after the needs of the brigade was ceaseless. That evening he succeeded in getttug some coffee made, and among those who were drawn away from their duties long enough to share it were Lieutenant Ord of the 6th and Lieutenant Michie. Both these officers were full of energy and enthusiasm. They talked of the work ahead of the army and of their desire to be at the front, hoping that their command would have its opportunity with the rest. A few days later I saw Lieuten- ant Michie riding at the head of his com- pany, which was pushing forward to oc- cupy one of the advanced positions on the picket lines. The next I heard of him was after the two days’ fighting, when at the general headquarters in the list of casual- ties his name appeared among the dead His wish to be at the’front had been grati- fied and he had fallen in the thick of the battle. The same fate had come to Lieu- tenant Ord. He had been cut down while leading his men up the hill at San Juan in the very moment of victory. Its fruits were to neither of these gallant young offi- cers, but it was they and others like them commanding soldiers imbued with the same spirit. who made the surrender of Santiago inevitable. I confess the shock of hearing what had befallen Michie and Ord made it impossible to inquire after other friends without a tremor. It was pleasanter to meet them and receive their greetings than to note their absence and with misgivings seek to learn its cause. Inspector Brewer a Hero. The fallen heroes were not all of the army. There were civilians whose duties took them to the scene of war, from whi h they will never return, Among these was Eben Brewer, the post office inspector, who was in charge of the military mail station, He did something more than to perform his responsible duties acceptably. To him every soldier's letter was a personal charge, His sympathies were keen and he knew instinctively how much the let- ters meant ta those who sent and to thos: who received them. His work did not stop there. He was full of practical sug- gestions. At Caney, when the refugees were pouring into the village and the lack of preparation for them was causing a panic, he took in the situation instantly and the measures he suggested for better- ing their condition were quickly adopted. At the field hospital, where he stopped to make a casual inquiry about the letters, there was a distressing lack of help for the wounded. Without a word Brewer took off his coat and spent the night help- ing the surgeons. When late one evening the ambulance jolted into Siboney with Clara Barton as a passenger and no place where she could lay her head it was Brewer who found the Red Cross presi- dent @ resting place. It seemed as though every one was the object of his thoughtful attention. Com- ing back from the front one night he was the first person to greet me. “Better sta: under cover tonight,” he-said. “You'v been sleeping in the open too long.” This suggestion was followed by the proffer of his own cot, and when it was declined he had a bed made up of loose bags, which was accepted. The shelter of the house which was used as a post office may hav been a doubtful protection, for it had been used the previous year as a yellow fever pest house. Neither of us was ‘aware of this, but the specter had already ap- peared and Brewer knew he was living in the midst of surroundings that hourly ex- poved him to the disease. He told me of his efforts to improve the sanitation of the camp and to guard against an epidemic among the soldiers. Whether he had a premonition that he would himself fall a victim I do not know, but it would have made no difference in’ his course. His whole talk was of the danger of others who had been exposed. Apparently his own health was of the best. In spite of uncerstanding the conditions by which he was surrounded it was a grave shock to hear a few days later that Brewer was down with the yellow fever, and soon afierward to learn of his death. He was one of the Americans who went with the army to Cuba in the discharge of a duty that carried with it none of the glory of arms. He knowingly faced perils greater than those of the battlefield, and he died a hero's death. CHARLES M. PEPPER. + FEAR SPANIARDS’ VIOLENCE. Guarded by Moorish Troops. Mail advices received from Tangier, Mo- rocco, say that the threats of the Spanish residents there caused the house of Mr. F. C. Partridge, the retiring United States consul, to be guarded before he left, and in addition, his successsor, Mr. Samuel Gum- mere, was escorted to the consulate, which is still guarded by Moorish troops. One American family which had been residing at Tangier went to Europe, fearing violence. > The conduct of the 5,000 Spaniards gen- erally has been calm, though thereshave been a few threats to cut the cable in order 20 prevent Commodore Watson from using it and in order to interfere with the pro- visioning of his squadron. The French steamer Obia, which recently touched at Tangier with ninety refugees from the Canary Islands, reported that the foreign consuls at the Canaries had notified the subjects of their governments that Commodore Watson's squadron was com- ing, and the people, therefore, were panic stricken, and were seeking refuge in the in-
