The Peace Message.
President McKinley will answer
Spain's plea for peace in a few days.
The cabinet will thoroughly discuss the
term 3 this country can give Spain, and
when they are decided upon the Presi.
dent will formally notify M Cambon.
the French ambassador, who is the of-"
ficial representative of Spain in Wash
ington.
M. Cambon, jshen he called on the
PresidentjXtfesday,first announced that
with the consent of his government he
ha<hCalled to deliver a message from
<he qneen regent of Spain. The meet
ing took place in the blue room of the
White House There were present the
President, M. Cambon Secretary of
State Day and M Thiebaalt, the first
secretary of the French em bassy.
After M. Cambon's announcement M.
Thiebault read the message
The communication did not suggest
any specific terms of peace.' nor was
any reference made to Cuba, the Phil
ippines. Porto Rico and othei Spanish
possessions The evident purpose of
the Madrid authorities was to first learn
whether the United States would treat
on the subject of peace, and after that
to take up snch terms as the two par
ties might suggest. Neither was there
any suggestion from the Spanish gov
ernment that an armistice be establish
ed pending the peace negotiatiions.
Owing to tbe importance of the com
munication, the ambassador adopted
the usual diplomatic procedure of read
ing It from the original, in French, the
translation being submitted by M.
Thiebaalt. It is stated on good author
ity that it read as follows:
"The governments of the United
States the government of Spain are un
happily at war, as a result of the de
inand of the United States that Spain
withdraw from Cuba, which demand
she refused to comply with. In the
contest of arms which followed, Spain
• admits tßat she has been worsted, and
that her sufferings as a result are very
great. She believes that the time has
now come whew she can properly ask
the co-operation of the United States in
terminating the war. and therefore asks
to be fnrhished, through the French
ambassador with a statement of the
terms upon which tbe United States
would be willing to make peace.
it was finally determined that the
President would consult the members of
his cabiaet concerning the proposition
and after a decision bad been arrived

the Wuite House for a further confer
ence and for a final answer from the
United States government.
AN Editorial in the Times several
weeks ago, commenting on the result of
the election in Oregon, did grave in jus
tice to Ex-Senator John H Mitchell by
stating that the victory was won by the
Republicans on the sound money plat
form against the combined forces of
"the Democrats, Populists and Silver
Republicans led by Ex Senator John H.
Mitchell."
A letter from Ex-Senator Mitchell
states tnat he heartily supported the
McKinley and Hobart ticket and the Re
publican national platform in 1H96; that
he made fifty-flye speeches in the State
during that campaign in support not on
ly of the candidates but of the sound
money platform, and that in the late
election in Oregon he gaye his earnest,
cordial and unqualified support to the
sound money Republican ticket and
voted for every man on it.
Ex-Senator Mitchell is a Pennsj Ivan
ian of whom every citizen of our state
may be proud. He has had a bitter
fractional contest in his struggle for re
election to the Senate, bat we are heart
ily glad to know that be has earnestly
supported the sound money Republican
* platform and candidates-and lias not giv
en countenance or favor to the cheap
money repudiation Republicans who
have considerable strength in Oregon.
We sincerely regret the injustice done
to Ex-Senator Mitchell and make the
correction with great pleasure, not only
as a matter of justice to him, but as
placing him squarely in the sound mon
•y ranks of the far West,—Philadelphia
Times.
AMONG our warships the Vesuvius
stands out as distinctly as does llolwon
among yoang naval officers. Her debnt
is the sensation of modern naval war
fare. All the world is watching in won
der "the cruiser that throws earth
quakes.'' Her lubes for throwing pro.
jectiles by compressed air were made at
the tube works in Middletowu, Pa. Za
linski.Jthe inventor, was told that no
tube could be made strong enough for
that purpose. He got some made at
Middletown and they stood the test.
With these tubes the Vesuvius gives a
hollow cough aud sends a long pro
jectile u mile or more away, filled with
from IMO to •'»'>) pounds 1 f gun cotton.
Where the charge lights it blows holes
in the ground. Some one says, "It
don't strike twice in the same spot,
chiefly for the reason that the spot isn't
there." Theshots sent by the Vesuvius
did powerfril execution on the defenses
ff of Santiago. Speaking of the affect of
shots from these dynamite tubes, u
naval officer said: "No man escaj>ed
with his life who was within 200 yards
of where one of those charges fell; and
men far beyond the range of immediate
injury were left mentally helpless and
useless by the shock."
SWEDEN is evidently impressed with
the growing importance of the United
States. A Massachusetts teacher who
is studying manual training in Sweden
at a point where the cars run only twice
a week, recently received a letter from
home in a "flag" envelope, which the
authorities thought to be a couimunica
tion from the United States govern
ment, on account of the flag Immedi
v ately a special train was made up and
took that letter 40 miles for the benefit
of the recipient.

WAR RECORD
The ships and transports of the Porto
Rico expedition left Siboney. Cnba,
Thursday at 3p. m and the lfith Pa.
sailed from Charleston. S. C., that eve
ning at 3 o'clock.
On Sunday 400 new cases of fever
were reported at Santiago: our Commis
saries were feeding 11,000 people Gomez
said hi a troops would co-operate with
ours.
On Monday Gen Miles' troops were
reported to be landing on the south
coast of Porto Rico, but the report was
not confirmed. Ail the reporters of the
X Y. Journal were banished from the
army for misconduct. Russian and
Jajanese war vessels were assembling
in Manila bay.
A dispatch from Madrid states that
the Russian government is the most ac
tive in prompting the Spanish govern
ment, and in endeavoring to bring
about a coalition of France, Germany
and Austria against us.
On Tuesday a portion of Gen. Miles
army was landed on the South coast of
Pom Rico. The fleet entered the bay
of Guanica, which is not mined, and
the army began landing at a point
about 18 miles west of the town of
Ponce, and about 60 miles from san
Juan. They met with no opposition.
The French Ambassador at Washing
ton presented a message from the Span
ish Government to President McKinley,
asking terms for peace.
The reports of Admiral Sampson,
Commodore Schley, and some of the
Captains were made public. Sampson
states the positions of our fleet at the
time the Spanish fleet left the harbor,
and gives an account of the chase, fight
and rescue, and arrangements for sav
ing <tome of the Spanish ships.
Schley's report gives great credit to
the Captains of the ships and names
quite a number of the other officers,
and is printed in another column.
THOSE enterprising shipbuilders, the
Cramps, have just finished a new cruiser
for Japan. It has tbe odd Dame Kasigi,
bnt in spite of that it can go 23 knots an
hour. What is more, she is the fastest
ship of her class afloat. Hereafter we
hope we shall not be compelled to note
occurrences of this nature. If the
Cramps want to build this class of ships
we want Uncle Sam to give them all
the work they can do, for two or three
years at. least. And that concern on
the Pacific might turn out a few
Oregons, if we are shrewd enough to
get in before Russia makes a contract
for some American ships. Uncle Sam
must not go to sleep in these busy days
and let a lot of foreigners get in and
load our ship builders with contracts
extensive enough to keep them busy for
a few years. If we can save and repair
three or four of those cruisers off Cuba
and build a few more we should be in
good shape within two years.
England on the American Navy.
Although the achievements of our
navy in the brief ninety days of the war
B]>eak for themselves and stamps the
quality of our ships and men as second
to none, it would be mere affection to
say that we are insensible to the instant
recognition which our brilliant success
has received at the hand of the English
peeple. This recognition has been too
instant, unanimous and altogether spon
taneous for us to doubt for a moment
that it represents the national senti
ment.
It is well known that the ideas of tbe
English people are reflected with great
BIIHIItV in Iheir leading jdiTFhals, and
the following comment on the Santiago
engagement will be of special interest.
The Saturday Review remarked:
"It is impossible for us not to feel a
certain pri<le in these achievements of
men of our own race. Every English
man, too, will remember that it was
the possession of this same quality
the fine marksmanship which the
Americans display—which gives us
victory both on land and sea; and some
thing peculiar and noble happened in
this fight which showed in a far higher
way tbe kinship between tbe two peo
ples:
" 'Don't cheer,' shouted Captaiu
Philip, the poor devils are dying!" It
seems to us that this expression of
tender, sympathetic humanity is just
as fine as the' Kiss me, Hardy,' of the
dying Nelson."
In the course of a lengthy review of
the fight, The Spectator said:
"The whole peifonnance of Admiral
Sampson's fleet was in accordance with
the best traditions of the Anglo Saxon
navies, and every Englishmnn has read
of their doings with a flash of pride.
There was the same old, hard pounding
as the Elizabethan seadogs used, the
same enrious mixture of steadiness, dar
ing, coolness, and reckless dash The
moral aspect of what was almost the
first and of what must be the last fleet
action between the Spanish and English
races is very much alike. In both
cases it was the .nan behind the gun
who, in the last resort, won the battle.
"The battle shows that the American
navy is a moot efficient fighting ma
chine. We did not need to be told that
here. We knew it already. They,
however, did not know it on tho Conti
nent, though they apparently know it
now. For ourselves we have little
doubt that tho American fleet could
face even that of France without any
Seat risk of disaster, in suite of the
ct that, by the rules, the I 1 ranch fleet
is ten times stronger. We believe this
could be done if it were needful; but it
won't be, as America won't be attacked
by France without our taking a hand
in the game. Sampson, Dewey, and
the officers they have the happiness to
command are able to destroy French
ships of vastly superior power, just as
we did a hundred years ago.
"As for the German and American
navies, there can, of course, be no com
parison. The Germans are fine sailors
and brave men, but a navy struggle be
tween the United States and Germany
wonld be very short and very com
plete."
The Speaker remarks: 'The greatest
credit is due to the American navy for
the manner in which this operation has
been carried out. Like the exploit of
Dewey, the sea fight at Santiago has in
his American kinsman a worthy ally
and rival. So far as her fleet is con
cerned, America need not fear compari
son with any country in the world. '
It will be seen that the English peo
Sle, who follow all naval operations aud
evolopement with a feverish interest,
have been quick to rec-ognise that the
secret of our success lies in our excell
ent gunnery. The estimate of our
ability to face the French fleet, "ten
times stronger" tbn.n our own, makes
too much l>oth of our own prowess and
the numerous sujieriority of tiie
French. Their fleet is not ten times
nor even tliree times as strong as our
own. If it be taken at three times as
strong in ships and material, we agree
with The Spectator that the personal
element would probably, as in the last
century, more than offset the difference

YELLOW fever is a strictly prevent
able disease, vanishing before hygienic
care. There is no region where it exists
where it conld not be excluded. It dis
appeared from New Orleans during the
war under militrry discipline and reap
peared when the war was over. The
Spanish Army in 181>7 lost 0000 men
from yellow fever and a immlier of
deaths were in Santiago, but as soon as
the American Army is properly housed
and a rigid sanitary supervision begins,
tbe disease will disappear. Cuba has
been its hot lied and one result of the

SCHLEY'S MODEST STORY.
He Gives Special Credit to Captains Phillip, Evans, Clark
and Cook.
WASHINGTON, JULY 20.—Tbe fol
lowing is Commodore Schley's report
North Atlantic Fleet, Second Sqr.adri-n
United States Flagship Brooklyn
Guananaino Bay, Cuba. July 6. 1898.
Sir—l have the honor to make the fol
lowing report.of that part of the squad
ron under yonr command which came
under my observation during the en
gagement with the Spanish fleet. July
8, 189 S.
At 9:33 a. in. Admiral Cervera with
the Inf.'nta. Maria Teresa. Vizcaya.
Oqnendo. Cristobal Colau and two tor
pedo boat destroyers, came out of the
harbor of Santiago de Cuba in column
at distance and attempted to escape to
the westward. Signal was made from
the lowa that the enemy was coming
out, but his movement had been dis
covered from this ship at the sane
moment. This vessel was the farthest
west, except the Vixen, in the blockad
ing line; signal was made to the west
em division as prescribed in > onr gener
al ordeis, and there was immediate and
rapid movement inward by your spuad
ron, and a general engagement at ranges
beginning at 1,100 yards and varying
to 3,000 until the Vizcaya was destroy
ed about 10:50. The concentration of
the fire of the squadron upon the ships
coming out was most furious and ter
rific, and great damage was done them.
About 20 ox 25 minutes after the en
gagement began, two vessels, thought
to be the Teresa and Oquendo, and
since verified as such, took fire from the
effective shell fire of the squadron, and
were forced to ran on the beach some
six or seven miles west of the harbor
entrance, where they burned and blew
np later. The torpedo boat destroyers
were deotroyod early in the action, but
the smoke was so dense in their direc
tion that I cannot say to which vessel
or vessels the credit belongs. This
doubtless was better seen from your
flagship.
The Vizcaya and Colon, perceiving
the disaster to their consorts, continued
at fall speed to the westward to escape,
and were followed and engaged in a
running fight with the Brooklyn, Texas,
lowa and Oregon uy'til 10:50, when the
Vizcaya took fire irom our shells. She
put her helm tjjr'port, and with a heavy
list to port, stood inshore and ran
aground at Asseradores. about 21 miles
west of Santiago, on fire fore and aft,
and where she blew up during the
night. Observing that she had struck
her colors, and that several vessels
were ne&ring her to capture and save
her signal was made to cease fir
ing. -The Oregon having proved vastly
faster than the other battleships, she
and *tbe Brooklyn, together with the
Texafi and another vessel, -vhich proved
to be your flagship, continued westward
in pursuit of the Colon, which had run
close jjn shore, evidently seeking some
good spot to beach if she should fail to
elud' her pursuers.
Tfiis pursuit continued with increas
ing'speed in the Brooklyn, Oregou and
oAer ships, and soon the Brooklyn and
tfte Oregon were within long range of
lse Colon, where the Oregon opening
fife with her 13-inch guns, landed 1
sftell cloje to the Cristobal Colon. A
i/ioment afterward the Brooklyn opened
fire with her eight-inch gun 3, landed H
shell just ahead of her. Several other
shells were fircl at tho Colon, now ic
range of the Brooklyn's and OregonV
gnus Her commander, seeing all ;
chances of escape cut off and destruc
tion awaiting hi* ship, fired a lee gun I
and struck her flag at 1:15 p. m , an 1
ran ashore at a point some 50 mile;
west of Santiago harl»or. Your ring
ship was coming up rapidly at the time
as were also tho Texas and Vixen. A
little later, after yonr arrival, the Cris-_i
tobal Colon, which had struck to tin
Brooklyn and < )regon, was turned over
to you as one of the trophies of that
great victory of the squadron under
your command.
During my official visit a little later
Commander Eaton, of the Itesolnte, ap
peared and reported to you the presence
of a Spanish battleship near Altares.
Your orders to me were to take the Ore
gon and go eastward to meet her, and
done by the Brooklyn, with the result
that the vessel reported as an enemy
was discovered to be the Austrian
cruiser Infanta Marts Teresa, seeking
the commander-in-chief.
I would mention for your consider
ation that the Brooklyn occupied th ;
most westward blockading position with
the Vixen, and, being moro directly in
the route takeu by the Spanish Squad
ron, was exposed for some minutes,
possibly 10, to the gun-fire of the three
Spanish ships and the west battery, at
a range of 1,500 yards from the
ships and about 3,000 yards from the
batteries, bnt the vessels of the entire
squadron, closing fn rapidly, soon di
verted this fire and did magnificent
work at close range. I have never be
fore witnessed such deadly and fatally
accurate shooting as was done by the
ships of your command as they closed
in 011 the Spanish squadron, and I d» an
it a high privilege to commend to you
for such action as you may deem prop 1
the gallantry and dashing courage, the
prompt decision and the skillful hand
ling of their respective vessels, of Cap
tain, Philips, Captain Evans, Captain
Clark, aud especially of my chief of
staff, Captain Cook, who was directly
under my personal observation, and
whose coolness, promptness and cotir
age were of the highest order. Tho
dense smoke of the combat shut out
from my view the Indiana and the
Gloucester, bnt as these vessels we re
closer to your flagship, no doubt their
part in the conflict was under your iin
mediate observation.
Lieutenant Sharp, commanding the
Vixen, acted with couspicious courage,
and, although unable to engage the
heavier ships of the enemy with the
light guns, nevertheless was close in to
the battle line under heavy fire, and
many of the enemy's shots passed be
yond his vessel
I beg to invite special attention to the
conduct of my flag lieutenant, Jam« ' 11.
Sears and Ensign Edward McCauh v.
Jr., aide, who were constantly at mj
sidednrir.g the engagement and who
existed themselves fearlessly iu dis
charging their duties; and also to tin'
splendid behavior of my secretary. Li«-'i
tenant B. W. Wells, Jr.. who command
ed and directed the fighting of the
Fourth division with splendid effect.
I would commend the highly meri
torious conduct and con rage in the en
gagement of Lieutenant Comandcr X.
E. Mason, the executive officer, whose
presence everywhere over the ship dnr
ing its continuance did much to secure
the good result of this ship's part in the
Victory.
The navigator. Lieutenant A. C.
H slgson and the division officers, Lieu
tenant T. D. Griffin, Lieutenant Chas.
Webster, and the junior divisional offi
cers were most steady and conspicuous
in every detail of duty, contributing to
the accnrate firing of this -hip in h*r
part of the great victory of yonr forces.
The officers of the medical, pay and
engineer and warm: corps responded to
every demand of the occasion and were,
fearless iu exposing themselves The
warrant officers. Boatswain William L
Hill, Carpenter G. II Warford and
Gunner F. T Applepate were every
where exposed, in watching for damage
reports of which were promptly convey
cd to me.
I have never in my life served with a
braver, better or worthier crew than
that of *he Brooklyn. During tcu- com
bat, lasting from 9:35 until 1:15 p. XJ
much of the time under fire, they never
flagged for a moment and were appar
eutly undisturbed by the storm of pro
jectiles passing ahead, astern and over
the ship.
The result of the engagment was the
destruction of the Spanish squadron and
the capture of the admiral and some
1,300 to 1,500 prisoners, with the loss of
several hundred killed, estimated b}
Admiral Cervera at ♦>>»»> men
The casualties on board this ship
were G. H. Ellis, chief yeoman, killed;
J Burn; - , fireman, first class, severely
wounded. The marks and stars show
that the ship was struck about 2~> times,
and she bears iu all 41 scars as the re
sult of her participation in the great
victory of your force on Inly 3, ISfW.
The speed-cone halliards were shot aw,-, v
end nearly all the signal halliards. 'Die
ensign at the main wk" so slmttered
that in Lanlir.g it down at the close of
the action it fell in pieces.
I congratulate vou most sincerely up
on this great victory to the soiadron
utidir your command, and I am glad
that I had an opportunity to contribute
in the least to a victory that seems big
enough for all of us.
I have the honor to transmit here
with the report of the commanding offi
cer and a drawing iu profile of the ship,
showing the location of hits and scars:
p.lno a memorandum expended and the
amount to fill her allowance.
Since reaching this place and holding
conversation with several of the cap
tains, Captain Enlate, of the Vizcaya,
and the second in command of the Co
lon, Commander Contreras.l have learn
ed that the bpanish admiral's scheme
to concentrate all fire for a while on the
Brookl}*n. and the Vizcaya to ram her,
in hopes that if they conld destroy her
the chance of escape wonld l>e increased
as it was supposed she was the swiftest
ship of yonr squadron. This explains
the heavy fire mentioned and the Viz
caya's action in the earlier movements
ef the engagement. The execution of
this purpose was promptly defeated by
the fact that all the ships of the squad
ron advanced into close range and open
ed an irresistibly furious and terrific
fire upon the enemy's squadron as ii
vvaa coming out of the harbor.
I am glad to say that the injury sup
posed to be below the water line was
to a water valye being opened from
some unknown acu e and flooding the
compartment. The injury to the belt
is found to be only slight and the leak
small.
1 beg to enclose a list of the officers
and crew who participated in the com
bat of July •!. IHSIH. I cannot close this
report without mentioning in high
terms of praise the splendid conduct

her accurate fire splendidly destructive

And the Growler threw down his

now finish packin ; a box he was about

thereby that while he was inclined tc

place.
WHKX the Twenty fifth Regiment of
regulars (colored) was encamped at
Chicamauga Colonel "Andy Burt told
his men that the}- must play ball an
hour every day in order to get hardened

while we are playing,''he added "re-
member that 1 am not Colonel Burt,but
simply Andy Burt During the first
game the Colonel hammered the bait
viciously f;»r what look like a home run
"Run, Andy, run, you tallowed-faccd

soldier from the coach line. The Col

OUP BOYS IN CAMP.
C©. 12» loth Itoginwnt, Fori
Washington, M<l.
JULY 25, 1898.
The 15tb regiment is still killing im
mense quantities of time at Fort;
Washington and Sheridan, but are get
ting the worst of the battle* with jig
,/ers, etc The threatened epidemic of
malaria fever seems to be broken; sinci
la't Wednesday no cases were reported
until this morning, when Corp. Mc
Clung and Cull n Armstrong were sent
»o the hospital. Corps. McKee. ant
He'neman and C. Graham are again or
duty. To dale sixteen cases of illne.e
have been reported from Co. E. Corps
Pierce and Ilazlett and privates Sum
ney, C. E. Smith, Paul Smith, Morgan
and Waters are also patients The)
ai'e all ou the mend and most of them
expect to l>e out within ft day or two.
None are dangeroasly ill
Last wrek every bed in the building
was occupied, and to care for all tin
sick men a wadset up nearby
in which eight cots were placod, and
all these were occupied also.
To prevent the probable spread of tlu
epidemic our camp was thoroughly
policed and cleaned no. Alt rubbish
and garbage was burned and disinfect
ants liberally used. Last Tuesday wt
were ordered to raise our tent lloors to
air them and sprinkle chloride of lime
underneath. During this op-ration a
furious rainstorm came up, flooded the
company hireets and washed np ever/
thing cleanly. There was probably ;■
combination of causes for-ali our -ick
nes*, among them overeating after pay
day, impure water for both drinking
and washing, snddon changes in the
weather, and malaria-infested air rising
from the weedy creeks and mvainps
along the Potomac.
As a warning tons against, our many
jiractices which are prejudicial to goo !
health, the following notice was tacked
up in the mens tent "Candidate!- for
malaria will observe the following:
All spare time after each drill or liteal
should lie spent in messtent, lying on
benches or other easy position It is
particularly enjoined upon you that the
whole evening should (io spent in the
niesstent and it should be made a point
with you not leave it until driven t.>
quarters by the iat sergeant at tapH.
Bat all the green fruit, stale pie.s, and
other truck you can lay hands on.
lii ver turn in before taps bat sit out is
the ni'<ht air and see that others who
desire it get no sleep Ijefore taps Avoid
activity, it keeps the blood in ctrcnla
tion." Amen!
Wednesday we received an invoice of

i Till. Hittsourg papers report that a
• large number of persons are anxiously
. waiting to take advantage of the new
! bankruptcy law. which will go into
! effect '. This act is of great
. interest, not only to men who became
I insolvent years ago but to many who
! are ready to go into a state of insol-
I vencv and who wish to lie declared
bankrupts. A good many businessmen
have failed since the old bankruptcy
law. was replied in l»7tS, and have
, since bee : unable to do business in their
i own name The new law provides for
: loth voluntary and involuntary bank
' ruptcy. but. unlike the old law. there
will be i., pref rred creditors. So;.: jf
the i.rovisioiis f the bill are stated
, 1 tnus:
, ! "Under the Stale law it has been a
:. freqaent practice when a creditor be
. comes involved to give a judgement
note to one of his r.-eiitors, that cr«ii
tor to begin proceedings on the note,
judgment to 1«- confessed and execu
tions issut .. the sheriff would make a
levy and the entire estate would be
wiped out before any other creditors
could get out a judgment, and they
could therefore do nothing, as o>ir
courts have dt ided that unless a creiii
■ tor has a judgement he ha- no standing
to attack another ju dgement.
"This is all done away with by the
involuntary el uist of this bill, as three
. of the other creditors whose claims
- aggregate ?.vo, can file a i>etition
against a bankrupt within four months
after confession of judgment has be;n
i entered up and have all proceedings
. stayed until a trnstee is elected, wuo
tak.'i the estate, realizes on it and
i make? a distribution among all credi
( tors and all are treated alike.
I "An appeal from the district court is
made to the circuit court of appeals
: When an invoiun -iry petition is filed,
t the creditors hling the petition have to
i give a bond. The debtor, if he chooses,
1 can ask for a ,i: ry trial, and if it is de
cided by the inry that lie is not n bank
rupt he can proceed on this bond and
recover damages for injuring his credit.
"A bankrupt may offer terms of com
position to his creditors after he has
filed his petition and before >• trustee is
elected It thaticomposition is accept
ed by a meeting of the creditors, that
does away with the election of a tms
tee. and the bankrupt is discharged
without further proceedings as soon as
he pays the composition."
Thc old saying of "the better the day
the better the deed" is receiving new
force in the events of this war. Dewey
smashed the Spanish fleet at Manila on
Sunday. Cervera's fleet was sent to the
bottom on Sunday and the stars ar.d
stripes were hoisted over surrendered
Santiago at high noon on Sunday.

nine "American Pig ' but its disposition
is decidedly Spanish It recently at

meal of hirn. This proves it to be also
a Cannibal. George entered the lot
where the pig is kept, to driye out one
of his own, when he was suddenly
attacked, thrown down and badly in
jured by ihe tusks of the enraged brute.
He received a wound several inches
long and nearly three inches deep in
the right thigh. Dr Ciawford dressed
the wound which required eight
stitenes The pig tips the beam at 800
pounds which is exactly Tom's weight.
