A LULL IN WAR DOIXKS.
The past ew days have developed
nothing of a startling character iu
war annals, but there is a constaot
fever o uneasiness in naval and
army circles over the expected "com
ing together of tho two great oppos
ing naval fleets, Sampson's and Cer
vera's. All movements on the Ameri
can side are kept , secret, and the
whereabouts of her heavy-weight war
vessels is unkoowu. It may there
fore transpire that a battle may be
reported at any day, which engage
ment will doubtless settle tho ques
tion of further hostilities.
THE WAR'S PROGRESS.
The events of the week in war mat
ters were the battles in Cardenas har
bor, Cuba, whore the American tor
pedo.boat Winslow was disabled and
her ensign and four other heroes gave
'up their lives; the destruction cf
San Juan, Porto Rico, by Sampson's
fleet, and the battle at Cienfuegos,
southern coast, of Cuba.
By way of revenge oo the Win
slow's disaster a second attack was
made on Cardenas and the town was
shelled and burned. The Wilmin
ton silenced the masked balte'y, then
shelled the other forts and tne town.
It is believed the Spaniards lost 300
in killed and wounded; 113 were
counted at the wrecked batteries.
Admiral Sampson's fleet made com
plete wreck of the fortifiratioDs and
city of San Juan, and could have
taken the inland had he hsd the
troops to land.
The gunboat Windora reports that
the forts at Cienfuegos were totally de
stroyed iu the battle which took place
there oo the eleventh, and it is be
lieved at Jeast 400 Spaniards were
killed. Four American boys were
killed and four slightly wounded.
The cable was cut and captured
by our boats. It Was iu accomplish
ing this task that two of our boys lost
their lives.
v v i w io ainjnu ui uir jji cacu I
whereabouts of Sampson's fleet and
the Flying Squadron, it being the
policy of the War Department to
keep their matters more of a secret in
tho future. The enemy gets too
many pointors which enables bioi to
keep out of the way.
- Fast Leaving Camp Hastings.
Advises from Alt. Gretna, Pa., giv
en out Monday evening state that it
now looks as though by the end of
this week the camp will be deserted.
Eveu now, since the departure of the
Fourth, Sixteenth, Third and First
regiments, the Governor and briga
dier generals, with their staffs, and
with the absence of the several bri
gade bands and with very little (Idl
ing the effect has been to make the
place somewhat dull. The Fifth and
Ninth regiments will leave to-morrow,
and the Tenth and Second regi
ments ou Wednesday. The Second
which was divided into two battel
lions, were booked to leave to-day,
the first to go to Wilmiogton, Del.,
and the second to Porapton, N. J.
This order, however, was changed,
An1 t U a will nnnr womnin in a ..
nuu btjvT nil, II un loiuaiu ill vauijl
until Wednesday. The colonels of
the Sixth, Eighth, Twelfth and Fif
teenth regiments received orders to
leave for the camp near Washington,
and all expect to be away from Mt.
Gretna before Saturday. The Penn
sylvania division United States vol
uuteers are now divided thus: First,
Third, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth,
and Sixteenth regiments ordered to
Chickamauga; Sixth, Eighth, Twelfth
and Thirtheenth to Washington, D
C. ; Second, Fourteenth, Fiftheenth,
Eighteenth, Sheridan troops and
Governor's troops to the Department
of the Eaht.

The ticket nominated by the Re
publicans of Forest county t their

anything. Of the peculiar fitness in
all respects of each candidate for the

Hon. W. M. Liudsey. candidate for
President Judge, and without opposi
tion, received 1077 votes in the ooanty.
Hon. N. P. Wheeler, for State Delegate,
without oppsition, roceived 1067 votes.
A kepout Irom Dr. W F. Brun-
ner, priuted in the Medical News, on
the Spanish military death rate io
Cuba, furnishes an interesting study,
says the Bluzard, especially in view
of the immineucc of the invasion of
Cuba by an American army. This
report shows that during 1897 the
deaths among tbo Spanish troops
amounted to 32,534, of which 6,034
were from yellow fever. Over one-
third 12,000 were from enteritis
and dysentery. Io addition to, this
30,000 men wern invalided and sent
home, and Dr. Bruooer expresses the
opinion that at least ten per cent, of
these were certain to die before reach
ing home or soou after arriving. The
deaths in Cuba amounted to one third
of the whole number of troops credit
ed to Cuba at the beginning uf the
year, and to one-half the nun ber at
the close of the year, the estimated
number of troops at the beginning of
this year being 00,000. No other
modem army has ever shown such a
rate of mortality a death rate of
about ninety a day, or G30 a week.
Takiug the average garrison iu Cuba
aet year it is ouimated that one man
in every three died. How much of
this is due to tho climate andihow
much to the lack of proper equipment
and to the inefficiency of lh Spanish
medical staff is not cay to determine,
but it is highly improbable that the
American troops, safeguarded as they
will be by the best of physicians aud
ample equipment, will suffer in any
such proportiou.

Itizarre Designs
In Wall Paper
are very ef
fective when used in large rooms. Io
the avorage room, a rich design of
solid color, .vithjmaybe a sprinkling
of little figures io contrasting color,
is the proper thing. '1 his is not the
place wheri; you come in and say,
"I've gut a room, eight by ten feet
and teu feet high.' How much wall
paper will I need, and how much will
it cost?" Before we sell you a wall pa
per we want to Hud eut several things.
It is a more particular way, a butter
way aud in the i-ud a cheaper way.
