8 SHOES! Newest Spring Styles for Men and Women, That are Worthy ol Your Inspection. W.C. McKINNEY, No. 8 East Main Street. THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. MILLVILLE, PA., July 12, 1898. ED. COLUMBIAN : The 4th of July '9B went off here with some disgraceful peculiarities. There was quite a large attendance in the grove, and many from the country were there who left their fields of harvest to celebrate the day in a becoming manner. The first disgraceful move was to wrangle nearly an hour to cheat the winner of the bicycle race out of his triumph and give it to the one who came in two or three rods behind him. The next was as follows : At the beginning of the speaking in the grove, the chairman said let us as we commence these exercises give three cheers for our boys over yonder light ing Spain. And such cheers from that large audience! Weak as chalk and water, fainter than a dying man's last bieath. You could have heard a grass hopper leap through the leaves, and this on the 4th of July '9B while America is coping with Spain, light with darkness, liberty with despotism and human weal with human atrocity ! Yea verily, while the Stars and Stripes, are shedding their luster on Cuba and the Phillippines. Well, such a cheer coming out of the bosom of America all the way from Millville. We shouldn't wonder our soldier boys heard it above the thunders of battle over yonder, and they will write back to their friends about it. Disgraceful move No. 3. Tust as the 3rd and last speaker Rev. Mr. Erouse arose to speak there was a greased pig turned loose outside in a field and a shout went up from the throats of the rabble and about half the audience jumped up and left to see the oiled animal and see some one try to catch it. Wasn't all that polite, sensible and patriotic. Why was that hog turned loose just then ? Why was not that great feature of Millville's celebrating the immortal 4th of 1898, postponed a few minutes till Rev. Brouse had de livered his address ? Now, these things are simply a disgrace to any community It would seem half the people of this mundane sphere would rather go to a fair to see a rotten apple or a pollywog in a mud puddle than hear a sensible address. 'How ever, those who went to see the greased hog missed an eloquent speech full of patriotism and truth as deliver ed by Rev. Mr. Brouse, the Methodist minister of this charge. Those who remained were well paid while they showed good hard common sense. EYERSGROVE. Harvest half done, grain fair but tangled. Rev. Brouse has closed his Thurs day evening interesting lectures on Phillip Strong. Friend Goulder is anxiously waiting to set sail with Capt. McGill's com pany.

"Common-sense rules in dress and manners, the same as in any phase of our lives, and this our young men should learn and understand," writes Edward Bok of "What Makes a Gentleman," in the July Ladies' Home Journal. "A man's manners are not exterior: they emanate from within, from himselt. Experience and obser vation are the only teachers he can seek and use. Etiquette books are useless to him. A young man's pro gress and favor in the eyes of others does not depend upon his being osten tatiously 'correct' in manner, .move ment and speech. His strongest and most lasting hold upon the respect and confidence of people comes from something deeper. He must not be boorish, nor slovenly, nor heedless of the feelings of others. It is his duty to carry himself well according to his h est instincts, and not by rule as laid down in etiquette books. So with a young man's dress. At twenty we do not expect our young men to devote so much time to their clothes that they shall be correctly dressed upon every occasion. Such useless knowl edge is, at that time of life, acquired at the expense of far more important matters. The taste for good dressing, and its knowledge, so far as it is nec essary, comes to all of us as we pro gress. The right sort of a young man dresses in the neatest and best man ner he can, and as well as his income permits. That is always good dress ing. To overdress one's station in the world is always poor taste and invariably makes a bad impression. I never yet saw a young man who either hired or borrowed an evening suit tor a special occasion who did not loudly proclaim the self-evident fact. When a young man wears clothes beyond his means he invariably shows it, and he never fails to make a fool of him self. This rule is invariable. It is not what a man wears, but how he wears it, that tells the story." Delightful Summer Tours. Two Tours to the North via Pennsylvania Railroad.

Again Proposal to Yield Is Scorned Madrid, July 13,-After the cabinet council the ministers asserted that San tiago de Cuba again had refused the American demand for surrender. Playa del Este, July 13.—Yesterday General Toral sent out a reply to Gen eral Shatter's second demand for the unconditional surrender of Santiago, made by letter. In his reply General Toral referred to his refusal to accede to the Amerl- ' can demand on Sunday and again reit erated his determination to resist. Notwithstanding this, the American batteries did not open Bre in the morn ing and the renewal of the bombard ment probably will be postponed until to-day. when It is hoped that all of General Randolph's batteries will lie In position. The siege guns landed will be brought up as soon as possible. CERVERA ARRIVES ASA PRISONER. Will lie Treated Cuut tennnly In Remem brance of Hla Kindness to Hobson. I| Washington, July 10.—The St. Louis was sighted yesterday of Portsmouth. N. H. Admiral Cervera, with about 40 of his officers and 800 of his men. are on board. It Is understood here that the Spanish officers will be kept in An napolis and the men at Fort Constitu tion. on Seavey Island, just near there. Captain Bartlett, chief of the intelli gence office, was much gratified that the St. Louis had been sighted SJ promptly. Me said she had never been lost sight of from the time she came within range of our shores. Every one at the Naval Academy is imbued with the sentiment that the Spanish officers to be sent to Annapo lis should be treated not simply as prisoners of war but as guests of the nation, and all the preparations made for their reception are in this spirit. Captain Philip H. Cooper, superin tendent of the Naval Academy, said: "All that I know about the matter is, I have received an order from Wash ington to make ready for the reception of eighty Spanish officers captured. While 1 have received no positive In structions yet from Washington on the subject, the Academy will hereafter be a military prison, and the good people cf Annapolis will have to accommodate themselves to It. It would not do to throw the academy open to the public so that these unfortunate officers be made objects of unpleasant scrutiny, for they have suffered enough already." Captain Cooper stated that 40 offi cers would arrive on Monday and forty more in a week. As st-on as the notice was received by the superintendent that the Spanish officers would be sent here he gave orders to have cadets' lower Quarters prepared for their re ception. These buildings are known as Strib bling row, and lie in the southeastern section of the Academy, between the old mess hall and the gymnasium. The row consists of nine buildings, but only Nns. 2, 3, 4, 5. 7 and 8 will be occupied by the prisoners. Nos. 2, 3 and 4 are two-story buildings, with basements; the others are three stories. Nos. 7 and 3 will he occupied by officers of high rank and the Junior officers will have the other buildings. These quarters are used by the cadets and bachelor officers and professors when the Acad emy is in session. The prisoners will be under the pa trol of a marine guard of forty. For the present their commissary will be Thomas Evans, steward. Paymaster Loomis, who was ordered away this week to Portsmouth as commissary for the prisoners there, is expected to re turn here and assume the management of the food supply of the Spanish offi cers. RECRUITS LEAVING CHICKAMAUGA Rninored That More Troop* Will Re Sent to the Front goon. CHlckamauga, July 13.—At an early hour yesterday several hundred re cruits for the First brigade. First di vision, First corps, which left Camp Thomas for Charleston several days ago, marched to Ringgold, Ga., where they went aboard a special train for Charleston. These recruits were sent out to Join their command by order of General Miles. Before his departure for San tiago General Miles wired General Brooke directing that the soldiers men tioned as well as the wagon trains of the three regiments, be rushed at once to Charleston. In all about one thousand soldiers were left here by the three regiments, the majority of them, however, belong ing to the Sixteenth Pennsylvania. The First Ohio cavalry did not leave yesterday, but will get out to-day. All final preparations for departure are be ing made. At the headquarters of the First corps it is stated that no further orders for the removal of troops have been received. From another source It Is learned that the Second brigade, Sec ond division, First corps, under Gen eral Mains, is likely to depart any day. It Is thought at the camp that defi nite orders for the departure of the nine thousand men will be received very soon. It Is understood that these troops are to be moved by the return ing transports which are now reaching the American coast. A letter received In camp from United States Senator Fairbanks says the en tire Second division of the First corps was to be ordered to Porto Rico. The letter was written to Captain Warren Fairbanks, son of the senator, who is in the commissary department of the division. CITY SURROUNDED. FLAG OF TRUCE WHILE 6PANIBH ARE CONSIDERING SURRENDER. The Situation ia Reported to Be Verj Quiet and With but Little Fighting Going On—Our Linen Have Been Fx tended Down to the Bay. Washington, D. C., July 13.—The fol lowing dispatch from General Shaftei was received yesterday: Playa del Este, via HayM, July \2. Headquarters Fifth Army Corps. Adjutant General, Washington; It has been very quiet; but little fighting. A flag of truce up since two o'clock considering proposition for sur rendering, now that I have the town surrounded on the north. Lines were completed at 5 p. m. by General Ludlow right down to the bay. The line is rather thin, but Will have it strengthened in the morning by General Henry, who has Just arrived at headquarters. Only three or four casualties. No one killed so far as I can learn. Expect to have two new batteries In position to-morrow. Great deal of suffering among the people who have gone out of Santiago. Am doing my best to relieve it, but not entirely successful. SHAFTER. General Shafter's Headquarters, July 11, via Kingston, Jamaica, July 12.-- Flghtlng continued during the day and at this hour, 4 p. m., it Is believed that the city of Santiago will be captured by the American forces within the next twenty-four hours. The Americans have advanced stead ily all day. In several of the Spanish trenches our troops found dummy woo ■ den guns and no Spanish soldiers. There was a very weak fire from the Spanish troops and the American offi cers have received further evidence of the great dis"£ress prevailing in the city of Santiago. Washington, D. C., July 13.—The ex pectation was general yesterday that Santiago would be ours very soon. The main source of apprehension was that the Spaniards may have succeeded to a considerable degree in evacuating the town before the American lines of in vestment were complete, so that when the American troops entered it woul 1 be found a mere empty husk with per haps nothing more than a desperate rear guard of Spaniards left to protect and conceal the retreat of the main body of the troops. There were several indications of some such move, which is supposed to have been in progress for the past three or four days. General Shafter himself reported un der date of Sunday that the Spaniards had evacuated In a small town on the west side of the bay. one of the sub urbs of Santiago, while the Associate.! Press dispatches Monday referred to the departure of a body of Spaniards from Santiago toward Holguin. General Miles has not taken and will not take charge of the operations new being conducted against Santiago. Whatever credit is to be derived from the capture of that town, if it results from the prosecution of the present plan of campaign by, General 3hafter, will redound to that officer's credit, for General Miles has declared expressly that he does not assume the conduct of these operations. He is there slmo ly In his capacity as commanding gen eral of the army to look over the field and to ascertain whether the operations are going along as they should. But with his appearance comes very substantial assistance for General Shafter. With him on the Yale were more than 1,000 men and considerable artillery, while the Columbia, which formed part of his expedition, is expec ted to report there at any moment with the remainder of the troops. As General Shafter has referred to the thinness of his line it Is expected that these reinforcements will be very gratefully received. DISTRESS IN PORTO RICO NatlvfS Starving ami Anxious to ll® Free Oriml Spain's Rule. Provlncetown, Mass., July 13.--Cap taln McKenna of the British brig Ethel, who arrived here yesterday from Are cibo, Porto Rico, brings a story of great destitution at San Juan and other piaoes and a deep interest among the inhabitants of the Island in the pro gress of the war, which, it is believed, Is to free the people from Spanish tpr anny. Captain McKenna stated that he left Arecibo June 21. At that time reports from all parts of Porto Rico indicated a condition among the natives nearly bordering on starvation. At Arecibo flour was selling at nineteen dollars a barrel and salt fish at thirty cents per pound, and other provisions at a price so high that none but the wealthy could get them. Several American and British news papers reached Captain McKenna while he lay at Arecibo, and he states that the natives actually fought each other to get possession of them, so eager were they to learn of the progress of the war. TROQP g FT* '"VWAII. Cabinet Bus llwluttl lo Stnil a Regi ment. Tlit re, Washington, D. C., July 9.—As a re sult of the cabinet meeting yesterday It was decided to dispatch a regiment of troops to Honolulu immediately and the commandant at the Presidio, Cali fornia, has been communicated with to learn what forces are available. The Hawaiian commissioners, who are to constitute the government of these islands, will not be appointed un til after the adjournment of Congress. The deferment of announcement of choice Is due to a pressure of other du ties on the president. As recess appointees they can pro ceed Immediately to the execution of governmental functions, though open to confirmation when Congress recon venes. The appointments of the mem bers of both the international Canadian commission to settle all disputes be tween Canada and the United States and the non-partisan industrial com mission to investigate the entire sub ject of immigration labor, manufacture and business, have also been defprrel till later and will be made ase reee3s appointments subject likewise to con firmation at the next "?pslon.
