Rennen Shanor WAR RECORD On Thursday Admiral Sampson bom barded the forts at the harbor of San Juan in Porto Rico At Cardenas the torpedo boat Wins low. ventured too neai a masked battery and was shot to pieces, and Ensign Bagley and three men killed At Manila. Dewey was raising the guns from the sunken Spanish ships, and fortifying the harbor. On Friday news of the appearance of the Spanish fleet off Martinque, about 500 miles south-east of Porto Rico caused the government to send the "Flying Squadron to sea, and that af ternoon it was out of sight of land. A large coal transport went with it. All plans for the immediate invasion of Cuba were abandoned, and all interest centered on the prospective sea battle. One seaman was killed during the bom bardment of San Juan, and a gunners mate died of the extreme heat. On Sunday the Flying Squadron, dropped its anchors off Charleston har bor, discharged its pilots, and put to sea again, to join Sampson's fleet. The Spanish fleet was reported to be at Cur acoa. On Monday Secy Long stated that 12,000 men would go to Manilla, and it was reported that three Pennsylvania regiments including the 15th would go there also that the lathe would go to Governor's Island in N. Y. harbor. The 10th Pa. regiment is on its way to Manila and it is expected that the 15th, 14th and 18th will follow shortly in their footsteps. The indications are that the Spanish Cape Verde fleet has escaped from Rear Adiinral Sampson and may turn up in a few days off the North Atlantic cost to bombard seacost towns. The Spanish fleet, making about 15 knots an hour, could reach the United States coast in six days. It left Curacao Sunday, destination unknown, but believed to be the south coast of Cuba. Admiral Sampson's fleet was supposed to have left San Juan, Puerto Rico, Saturday, sailing for the Wind ward passage to intercept the Spanish fleet in the Carribean Sea on its passage to Cuba The fleet may turn jup anywhere, most any time now, a battle is likely to take place at any time now. On Sunday the following dispatch was received at Washington from Ad miral Dewey. "CAVITK, May 13, Hong Kong, May fe ming in the city by land, but have made no demonstration Scarcity of provis ions in Manila. Probable that the Spanish governor will be obliged to sur render soon. Can take Manila at any moment. Climate hot and moist. On May 12 captuaed Callao attempting to run blockade. Have plenty of coal. One British, one French, two German and one Japanese vessel here observing. DEWEY. The United States dispatch lioat Hugh McCulloch arrived at Hong Kong from Manila with dispatches for the United States government. She report ed that the Spanish gunboat Callao, from the Caroline islands, recently en tered the jiort of Manila, being ignorant of the outbreak of hostilities between Spain and the United States An American warship fired acroßs her bows and signalled her a demand for her sur render. The demand being disregarded the American ships tired direct at the Spanish gunboat and the latter surrend ered. After the Callao's crew landed they were released on parole, and the Callao was paraded in full view of Manila city, accompanied by the United States cruis er Concord. When Mr 'Williams, the American consul, landed at Cavite last week he was received with great enthusiasm, and followed in the streets by a crowd of 2000 people shouting, "Viva Los Americanos!'' The populace of Manila is reduced to eating horseflesh and the prospect of re lief seems far distant. The Hugh McCulloch also reported that the Philippine insurgents applied to Rear Admiral Dewey for his approv al of an attack by them upon the city. The Admiral, it appears, approved of the plan, provided no excesses were committed. The insurgents then plead ed that they had no arms with the ex ception of machetes, to which the ad miral replied: "Help yourself at tbe Cavite arsenal." It is estimated that the insurgents have 37,000 troops, but only 0,000 rifles. They hold all the railroad lines and the River Pasig, thus cutting off the supplies either to or from Manila. The city of Manila however, has not yet been attacked. About 5,000 Span ish troops guarding the road leading from Cavite to Manila. There was no truth in the reported massacre of a number of Americans. There has tieen only a trifling incident durum police "duty and nobody was hurt. Aguinaldo. tho former insurgent lead er was in Hong Kong and wis said to be negotiating with President McKinley seeking to arrange for the futnre gov ernment of the Philippines bv a native administration under the protectorate of the United States. The English in Hong Kong advocated a joint Anglo- American administration. At Washington the officials were '' making all possible haste to rash troops to supplement Admiral Dewey's forces, so that if the Spanish governor surrenil ered the former would not IK* depend ent upon the small number of marines which he can illy spare from his ships It was hoped that the City of Peking, chartered as a transport vessel, would be able to clear from San Francisco in a short time, to be followed in rapid suc cession by the three other ships engaced for a similar pnrjiose. The Peking can carrv 1,000 men. which with the ma rines aboard the Charleston, just about t< v*ii won Id l>*> of considerable assis tance to tbe admiral The total number men to !*• «»n: will aggregate probably 12."0O as Major General V. esley Mer ritt. who is to command the expedition and subsequently to l>e made milivr?- governor, regards that as the lwi-i --winch can maintain order in a city like Manila. Over 10 regiment* of infantry and fonr batteries of artillery from the volunteers had been ordered to c> ucen trate at San Franciso. and from th.— o and th- regulars now in thi extreme West will be taken th. men for the Philippine expedition. It was expected that nil tbe volunteers will OUP BOYS IN CAMP. ( .». E, loth ICegriment, Camp Hasting"- CHAUTAUQUA P. 0., LEBANON CO I * FRIDAY, MAY 18, 18'.)8. Mail was distributed a short turn ago. A bnneh of CITIZENS arrive.! among it and are eagerly being read now. We are still eating cake and pre serves that came from Butler early in the week also smoking cigars presented bv Will Morris-. the tobacconist Many thanks for same. Wednesday afternoon seventy-fiv ■ men and three officers of Co. E were mustered into the U. S. service as Pennsylvania volunteers. The muster ing in of the Division began Tuesday and was finished to-day, conducted b> Major Thompson of the U. S. Army, who was formerly in charge of >he Grove City college battalion. *>ur bri gade and division officers have cot as yet been taken into U. S. service, and Colonel Kreppe of the Fifteenth being ranking Colonel, was appointed active commander of the division This makes us think ours will be the last regiment to leave Mi. Gretna. We wio hardly go before our Colonel, and he will hardly go until everything else is gone. Wednesday evening Wallace Kimer, J. S. Dunlap, W. A. Starr and M S. Davis of the recruits brought out by Lieutenant Scott and privates Bow ser, Rnndy and A. Graham and corpo ral Alden Kamerer started for Butler. Captain Campbell of Co. F. Grove City, also returned. He is a veteran of tie Rebellion We were very sorry to part with our comrades especially with Corp. Kamerer who was knocked out by poor eyesight. Harry MeCollough arrived Wednesday aft. and has been with us since. Thursday afternoon Joe Heineman passed around a large box of fine marslnnallow-caramels. He said they came from his girl. Now all Co. E has a sweet remembiance of that young lady whoever and wherever she may be. We have here a collection of rare curios called the Irish Me»s. composed of Ira Murphy. Howard Hazlett, Roy Mclntyre and Robert Adams. They live in "Boar 's Nest No 1 and have their heads shaved. Nearly every one in the company has had his hair clipped and is raising whiskers. Butler will see a wonderlul collection of mous taches, sideburns, goatees and full beards when we get home again. "Red" Eckelberger has washed his feet and we are no longer troubled by bad odors. Thursday we were thrown into a great commotion by the rumor that the Ist, 2nd. 3rd,4th,sth. 15th and 16th regi ments had received marching orders and were to be taken to Tampa Fla. by water via New Y'ork. The 4th and 16th struck their tents that afternoon and marched to the station. It was reported that they would leave at nine in the evening No train came for them and they lay at tbe station all night, all day Friday and are there yet, mad enough to mob or lynch any one on the least provocation. There was some mistake in those marching orders but we don't know how nor where. We thought our time to leave old Penn sylvania had come and all went to writing "goodby" letters. The canvas and shipped away, an indication that our time for leaving Mt. Gretna is not far distant. Yesterday Y'ance Stroup was ordorly This morning Eiuest Faber was select ed as regimental orderly and Del llindman as Gen. Wiley's orderly. The officers get Dell up at headquarter.* and then make him shave them all. We signed the pay roll for fifteen days pay, our last as guardsmen of Pennsy! vania. We don't know when we will receive our money. This evening Gov. Hastings reviewed the entire division. Hereafter there will be no brigade or division guards, as Gen's Wiley and Suowden have do further control over us. SUNDAY, MAY 15. Raiu fell ail morning and the sky has been clouded all day Despite the bad weather there have been many visitors, among theiu George Burckhalter and Loyal McJun kin of Butler and Harry Cunnnings and Marsh Douthett. formerly of Butier We are beholden to John S. Jack fi i a supply of tobies. This evening regi mental review was held in tbe mud. At 11 this morning the 15th was collected in the Y. M C. A. tent and Chaplain Hays conducted services. Before the sermon Capt. McJnnkin read the U. S. army regulations to us. as is required within six days after enlisting as volun teers Under the new organization Ser geant Vanderlin is quartermaster ser geant and J. F. Moore is now sixth ser geaut. There six sergeants anil six cor porals. Dom Imseu, who was regimen tal commissary, is now drum major and the quartermaster, Lieut. Perkins has charge of the grub department. Today the 4th and 16th regiments, which have been laying at the station in pavilions, etc. since Thursday were hauled away to Chickamauga via Pittsburg. Part of the 15ths guns were given to the 16th and we will be supplied with new ones before leaving. Saturday came near being a bloody day in camp Hastings, and will be a memorable one to some people. A Pitts burg l>oy named Sields of Co. G. 18th. decided not to enlist and went home be fore mustering day The sneers and ridicule of his former friends drove him back to Mt. Gretna. He arrived Sat urday morning, his old company would not receive him and in the evening, put him on a rail to carry him out of camp in disgrace. Had they gone no farther than this all would have been wejl. but they beat him with clubs, pelted him with atones and tin cans, and kicked him about till nearly dead. At last he was rescued from the mob and taken to a hospital. The other regiments were greatly incensed at the hoodlum con duct of the "gallant 18th. The Bth and !»th. regiments collected, armed themselves and started for the 18th's quarters to punish Pittsburg's gallant pets. The IHth. heard of it and iinme diatly armed for battle. One isth ofli cer was seen giving a revolver to a pri vate. A desperate fight seemed iinnii ment, but the officers stopped the ad vancing regiments and ordered them back to their quarters, which they did. We are glad to say that no part of the 15th. took part in these unruly proceed ings. WH were ordered to stay in our company streets and the excitement gradually died out. MONDAY.— Last evening th.

Mechling tell* us that seven of our Pennsylvania regi ments will be taken to Chickamauga, four will be sent to various department commandcries along the coast a* coast guards, and four will be sent to Wash ington, D.

Burk halter stayed over with us until today he remarked this morning that sleeping in a tent in wet weather was a very cold job. Sergeant Andrews visited his brothel in A lien town, Pa., over Sunday, and Sergt Collins tilled his place while absent. Services are held in the Y.

MONEYTAKENFROM STATE BANKB .Mr. tVnftAtrinUer Tells the Story ol How !!«' Came to Be Made Po«tmas ter (ii'ni-nil-l)rnle> Inaratllude to the Machine—The Old Story of th» Indemnity Hond uud What It Means to the People. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Harrliburg. May 17. — In speaking of Hon. John Wanamaker's wonderful campaign in Pennsylvania a North ampton county paper last riaturilay (said regarding his tour through that county: ' II Hon. John Wanamaker had been a king his reception in Northampton county could not have been more en thusiastic and sincere. His progress amounted to a triumph." Tin fa.t id that Mr. Wanamaker is making the most wonderful canvass HYC! known In the history of Pennsyl vania politics. He is talking at no i)th«Ji ever talked. He Is tell ing truths to which the people mu-t per roe listen, because they are truths and I>.. auKe his facts are matters of r« • id. Ijiit week Mr. Wanamaker . ampr.ignod though Tioga and North ampton counties. All told he made 17 gpec.hes during the week. Without gi ing Into detail as to when and where h poke, the following extracts from his re-. -hes will serve to Indicate? their startling character. At Enston, the home of Genera! , Flans Ueeiler. Mr. Wanamaker gald: DAN'iEROI'P POLITICAL TRUST. I submit first, that the Republican party as at present constituted is a most dangerous political trust, com posed 'ft". national senators and 20 congressmen and the large majority of ."I state legislators at Harrisburg. w 1.0, bj dictation, dispose of public rr.' ney- laws and choose admtn lßtrstois of them to the detriment of th public welfare, said appointees not reiognltlng the people, but yielding first allegiance to their masters and bosses. I submit second, that this political trust, known as the Quay-Andrews- Reeder-E!kin machine, uses Its usurp ed power and 111 gotten gains In per petuating Itself to the damage of th« taxpayers and people generally. I submit third, that the audacity of this Pennsylvania machine enters Into conspiracies to cripple the president of the United States in his purposes In conducting public business, as Import ant as our relations with Spain: seeks to cripple the postal business of 75,- OOO.F'OO. specially attacking the conve nience of business people and the wel fare of rural communities; conducts election campaigns by the flagrant use of large ?yms of money contributed by corporations, capitalists, contractors and payers for legislation. I submit fourth, that the service of self respecting men is lost to the Re pulican party by the vile misrepresent ations of reputable people, employment of bogus detectives, venomous falsifiers, a subsidized press and conspirators, who dart any plot or defilement, able to exert political control and by pro tecting legislation and domination of legal appointees of district attorneys and others not in elective but appoint ive offices. STATE MONEY SQUANDERED. I submit fifth, that the state funds have been and are squandered through the processes controlled by the machine. I submit sixth, that the state treas urer. being named by the bosses, who control his election and who direct the custody of the funds, endangers the safety of the state's money as proven by the recent developments of the three failed banks in Philadelphia and West Chester. I submit seventh, that the use of these banks by the bosses, known to be large borrowers for personal uses and campaign purposes, as well as private and pool speculators, should be a warn ing to the taxpayers, who are Interest ed in the schools and charities of the state. I submit eighth, that there Is evidence to form belief upon that the appropria tions to the educational institutions, charities and hospitals of the state could be largely reduced without one dollar of actual loss to said insti tutions. if the eosts of lobbying and at torneys did not have to be paid out of the appropriations. of th. unlawful taking of money out of the state treasury by the consent of the Quay treasurer, now employed in the state treasury as assistant to the present treasurer, and the justification nf it by Frank Ueeder, the secretary cf the commonwealth, and John P. Elkin, chairman of the state committee, who with his master, M. S. Quay, who first elected himself chairman of the state committee, which was done upon his own statement after spending between 1200.000 and JLT.O.OOO subsequently caused Mr. F.lkin to be elected chairman in order that lie might hold control of eon vent!".-.». contested seats and ruling* affecting committees, that this flagrant abuse of "ffieial place Is reprehensible In the highest degree, resulting In the dismissal of these two officials from the administration. MONEY COVERTLY EXTRACTED. It Is either true or It Is not true, and I submit It as easily capable of proof one way or the other bv your own townsmen that Reeder, Elkln and oth ers covertly extracted from the treas ury on a loaded payroll the sum of $27,000. I submit tenth, that an effort was made of the most desperate character to favor beer brewers as a reward for large subscriptions to the last sena torial campaign, whereby the schools of the entire state would have suffered impairment or the million of dollars at tempted to be taken from then? would have had to be raised by additional tax ation, now heavily crushing the people, because needlessly high, owing to ex travagance and evil legislation. BLACKENING FLAG OF FALSE HOOD. I am not done, as I expected to be. I intended to have relieved your patience with the words already spoken, but since I have left home, and an the ev« of entering this meeting. I have had put Into my hands a pamphlet, issued un der the title of a phrase in my speech in Lancaster. "Commercialism In Pol itics." I am not willing to postpone for even a single hour the engagement with the enemy, who has again raised the black and blackening flag of falsehood. Pol iticians in Pennsylvania are too busy to go to Cuba. The pamphlet reprints with comments the arrest and hearing, before the justice of the peace, and set tlement of the E. A. Van Valkenburg case. It is all paraded in detail, though the prosecutor settled it. Tbe pamph let declares that the governor, in the interest of the machine, entered Into a plot, employing detectives, one of whom became a convict and was imprisoned In New York state while the Van Val kenburg case was going on. and that Mr. Weiss, of vour county, and Mr. Mackey, of Lackawanna, of repute cer tainly superior to these hired detectives, were bribed by Mr. Van Valkenburg In my Interest. Tloth Mr. Weiss and Mr. Mackey pub licly avowed that no such bribing toolc place. As agaln*t their statements you are asked to take the statements of these paid detectives of a political ma chine. all powerful In Pennsylvania, and well known not to be above the defamation of character. The charges made were all llatly denied under oath by E A Van Valkenburg. the accused, who was dragged in the dead of night into a ourt friendly to his persecution i by the political machine, so far as the j district attorney his clerks were concerned. Circumstantial evidence Is reported of a farcical hearing, where a prompter stood behind the witness and read certain written statements, now published, made by a hired assassin of character whose employe, also testify ing soon after, was put behind the prison bars in New York state. Stripped of the dramatic, this Is all tha case, ex cept what is absolutely mere distortion of truth. THE TTLLARD SCHEME. A half truth Is often worse than an out-and-out lie. An unknown man call ed on me with a letter from a reputable person from Altoona introducing him as Tillard. That letter, the writer claims, was gotten from him by tion. The man who now confesses that he came to assassinate me and my friends by direction of the Quay-An drews-Reeder machine asked for In formation about the campaign, and I referr d hin. to the < >m:nltteo at the Bourse and mentioned names of several Individuals. 1 hel:»ve Mr Van Valken burg out nf town at the time he called. Tillard now claims that I th-»n employed him. an unknown i<er*on. to go out and buy votes for me. He knows, and so d>.es everybody else know, that he logins his Infamous business with a lie In his mouth Whatever services be entered upon professedly in my behalf were of his own nroffer. and whoever trusted him with money for his ex penses simply fell Into a dastardly trap set by Reeder and others whose names are In my possession. I never gave the man a dollar t 'uy a vote for me. and never auth riz 1. directly or Indirectly, or winked at th purchase of a vote for | me. not even by 'he bribing of a man with api ir.tment of a place In my ! store, which I could easily have done, and was frequently appealed to. Mr i Weiss was known to my committee to be against me. and Mr. Tillard. who wanted to see him in my behalf, was i distinctly directed not to do so, as 1 | was informed,and if Ti'.lard took money | and marked it as bribe money he did j so of his own volition to carry out his j nefarious bargaining with his employer. J There is not now and never has been | any concealment of the fact that the < committee representing me did assist unelected men who had declared their j Intention to- support me by aiding them in strictly legitimate expenses. That I man does not live who can truthfully say that I hired a man or permitted a living being to pay any money in the senatorial election campaign as Wribes, and if any man was so paid, which I do not belieVe.lt was and Is and always will be without my consent and against my instructions. THAT INDEMNITY BOND. Do you all understand what the In demnity bond was? It was a bond to personally protect the state treasurer in unlawfully paying between $20,000 and $30,000 of the money from the state treasury on a bogus payroll that had been established to make good the promises made by the machine in the senatorial fight. The money to reim burse the state treasurer was intended to be taken from the state treasury un der the cover of the general appropria tion bill. The fraudulent Item of $85,- 000 did paes. but was vetoed by the governor. Your townsman is now* an alleged candidate for governor. It is a well known fact that Senator Quay has said that he would like to sea Reeder vindicated for conspiring to un lawfully take the taxpayers" money. It is also well known that Senator Quay says Reeder's record will remove all possibility of his being a candidate this year. Do you wonder that Senator Quay feels kindly toward Ex-Secretary Frank Reeder? None has been more subservient. None has thought less for himself. None has done more question able things. None has helped to wrong the people under the orders of Senator Quay more than has Reeder. But there is a particular reason why he might wish to make Reeder governor now which I make most emphatic. He may disgrace the Republican party with this man, but he dare not wreck the party by nominating him. But why should Quay want Reeder this time? It is because Quay wants another vindi cation. and through the election of Reeder he believes he might get it. But vindication for what? For being him self a party to the infamous indemnity bond. For I want you to know that it is generally stated that on that event ful night in Speaker Boyer's room, on Front street, in Harrisburg, Senator Quay was present and personally di rected the indemnity scheme. United States Senator Penrose, Speaker of the House Boyer, Secretary of the Com monwealth Reeder, Deputy Attorney General and Chairman of the Republi can State Committee Elkln, State Treasurer Haywood and several other politicians of lesser prominence were there, and under orders of the. bosses the majority, if not all of them, are alleged to have signed the indemnity bond. I do not go behind the bush to hide in the ambuscade in giving out these facts —they are not assaults upon private citizens, but they are the un folding of the records of state and na tional officials done bv virtue of their leadership in running the Repullcan machine. At Wellsboro. Tioga county, on Wed nesday Mr. Wanamaker replied to the was ungrateful in turning upon him. In the following words: I never sought Mr. Quay in 1888; he Bought me. If anything I was inimical to him then, and had never been as sociated with him until he sent for me and said, on the eve of the Harrison campaign, that he had been elected chairman by the national committee, was without funds, and begged my as sistance in organizing financial aid. I took three weeks to consider It. agreed to organize an unpolitical com mittee of business men, and stipulated that my committee have some supervision of the use of the money, all of which was agreed to and com plied with. I entered upon the work then exactly as I would do now, if cir cumstances were the same, with a threatening panic ahead, as there was since, when Grover Cleveland was re elected. I stood over the committee work faithfully. When It was over al most all of the national committee, some altogether unknown to mo. urged my appointment in the cabinet. That unownable, never bluffed or bul lied General Harrison, then president elect, knew something of me and want ed a business man in his cabinet and in his department, and the friends, urg ing my appointment, all unknown to Mr. Quay, were such that If Mr. Quay had opposed me I believe the president would have selected me. The last man In the United States to claim that he dictated an appointment of President Harrison is M. S. Quay. COULD NOT DICTATE TO HARRI SON. He tried It on. and knows how he failed. He has owned Stone and the Andrews outfit.-the Pennsylvania ma chine, but he has never yet quite owned a president or claimed to own the Uni ted States. I filled my place at the postofflce desk as best I could, did not attend to politics then, though I served Mr. Quay as I could as my senator and the head of the party by virtue of his chairman ship of the national committee, and went hack to Pennsylvania and to my business, and Mr. Quay will tell you that we have not been associated since. Please then remember that all my as sociation practically with Mr. Quay is from JSBS to I*l*2'. and the last half of 1592 I parted company with him to stand by President Harrison, who Mr. Quay then opposed as he now opposes all men in any sense like him.

OMONIR htljU™- 11 WlwpWuß business methods in as many ways as possible. There is a combination of business and sentiment in giving yonr farm a name like "Valley View Place." "Maple Spring Farm" "Hillside." or something of the kind, as it lends a cer tain dignity and individuality to the place, an increased sense of pride in the proprietorship thereof, as well as addi tonal importance in the eyes of produce dealers or commission merchants with whom you are dealing. A small invest ment in printed stationary giving yonr residence and business, such as breed ing of throughbred stock, the manfac ture of dairy produce, etc., might prove of 110 slight advantage to you. as well as giving a certain degree of satisfac tion.
