WAR RECORD
By Friday last the President bad his
anwr to Spain's plea for peace form
ulated, but on Saturday, when the
French Minister again called upon him.
clothed with authority to treat for
Spain, the article regarding the disposi
tion of the Phillipines was somewhat
modified The. President demands the
conplete surrender of Cuba and Porto
Rico, some coaling stations in the
Pacific, and the temporary possession of
Manila—the ultimate disposition of the
Phillipines to be left to a Commission
to bo selected by the United States and
Spanish governments. No armistice
wa° granted while negotiations are
pending
The Spanish Admiral s report to his
government of the loss of his fleet was
forwarded after passing through the
hands of our Navy Department.
On Friday and Saturday Gen. Miles
army took possession of Ponce, a large
seaport on the south coast of Porto
Paco. The American army was received
with enthusiasim, thousands of volun
teers offering their services and bring
ing in supplies. The Spanish forces re- j
treated towards San Jnan.
Natives of the Phillipines in London
appealed to President McKinley not to
abandon the islands to the treacherous
and '-reel Spaniards
Battery B of Pittsburg sailed for
Porto Pico from Newport News. Five
vessels carrying troops for Gen Miles
left that port, Thursday.
On Tuesday an official statement was
given out by authority of the President,
as to the terms of peace offered by the
g United States:
"In order to remove any misappre
hetision *n regard to the negotiations as
to peace between the United States and
Spain, it is deemed proper to say that the
tonus offered bv the United States to
Spain iD the note handed to the French
Ambassador on Saturday last are in
substance as follows:
' 'The President does not put forward
any claim for pecuniary indemnity, but
requires the relinquishment of all claim
of sovereignty over or title to the island
of Cuba, as well as the immediate evac
uation by Spain of the island; the ces
sion to the United States and immedi
ate eyacation of Porto Rico and other
island ' under Spanisli ooyerignty in the
West Indies; and the like cession of an
island in the Ladrcnes. The United
States will occupy and hold the city,
bay and harbor of Manila, pending the
conclusion of u treaty of peace which
shall determine the control, disposition
and government of the Philippines. If
those te ;as are accepted by Spain in
their entirety, it is stated that commis
sioners w'.ll be named by the United
States to meet commissioners on the
part of Spain for the purpose of con
cluding ? treaty of peace on the basis
above indicated."
The Madrid dispatches to the London
press stated that the Spanish ministry
would accept McKinley's terms and ask
for some modifications; also that it was
taking precautions against uprisings
at several points in Spain
Gen. Merritt was expecting trouble
with the insurgents about Manila and
asked for HO,OOO more men. or 50,000 in
all. Abont 5,000 have lately sailed
from San Francisco for Manila.
Yesterday the French Minister had
another long talk with President Mc-
Kinley, but after the conference nobody
would say anything.
Our army was marching across Porto
Rico, and the Spanish anny was re
treating.
The Virglnius a flair.
The city of Santiago and the dun
geons of Morrow Castle specifically tell
of the great crime against humanity
perpetrated by Spanish officials in No
vember, 1873. when Captain Joseph Fry
of the Virginiua, and thirty six of his
crew were tortured, murdered and mu
tilated under orders of the then butcher
who occupied the Governor general
ship of Cuba, General de Rodas, an in
famous successor of others of like ilk
and a predecessor who found an apt
imitator in General Weyler.
The story of Virginius, is the regula
tion story of Spanish treachery and in
humanity. In effect, reduced to out
line, it is this: The Virginius. in com

Each company has received another
team of mules. There are now about
twenty mules and two horses here to do i
the hauliag for five hundred men in
camp.
The nights are very warm at present
and we sleep with our tents as much
open as possible. Some spread theii
blankets on the ground outside and
sleep under the open sky. One night
lack Thompson lay down on a hospital
stretcher back of his tent, and covered
over with his blanket, thought no one
would bother him. But he awoke next

Sunday morning at seven o'clock the
bntallion was formed and Col. Mech
hug held the .Tuly muster-in. We sign
et! the payrolls last week and expect to
be paid before the end of this week. No
church services were held Sunday. The
day s papers to.d us that the terms of
peace proposed by Pres. McKiuley had
been considered favorably by Spain and
that the war is practically over. We
hope it is and that wo will soon be per
mitted to return homa. To say that we
will be glad to do so is putting it mild
ly. Heavy marching order will not be
tiresome on the road. home. But what
of our war record? We volunteered
last April with the very best of inten
tions and full of martial spirit. We
lay in camp all summer drilling and
loafing and then go home. That's a
great war record, isn't it? Wonder if
that martial spirit of last spring is as
strong in us now as then.
The promised target practice has
neyer materialized and half of Co. E
nave never discharged a Springfield
rifle. Probably more than half have
never seen even a peaceable Spaniard.
iHovvever we need not be ashamed of
orrselves, for we did all we were asked
to and all we were given a chanec to do.
This afternoon Corporal McClung and
privates Sumney, Paul Smith, and
Armstrong, lately discharged from the
hospital, leave for Butler on furlough.
Sergeant Alexander expects to ijo home

We have been out of sugar for two

today. This morning companies C and'

had no causes for complaint lately.

more Porto Kico id the objective point
«>r' an expedition sent to conquer it.
This island is uit most productive u? 11
tho possessions whicn Spain b: had iti
the nineteenth century. San Juan,
which our lieet bombarded on May 12,
is strongly fortified, but at ta»t time
Rear Admiral Sampson had no inten
tion of c..ptrmng the town He wished
or'*" to draw the tire of the batteries sc
as to locate them and destroy as many
as possible. He was successful in his
attempt ami h-j did not intend to try t
laud any soldiers or marines. Now.
however a large army will invest the
city and wilt co operate with the ilee
in its bombardment.
San Joan, the capital of Porio Rico,
lies on the northeast snore cf the isi.. jd
and huf, a population oi about 2d,000.
The iiarbor is one <>f the finest in the
West Indies, being lar«e sheltered, and
capable of accommodating <.n> number
of the largest ships, having an ancbor
sge of from three to seven fathoms. It
bears a very striking likeness to Tir
ana Harbor, to which it is little inte
rior. Its entrance toward the norih i
invitingly open to the vessels of oti
great republic, beiug oyer 2,<>00 fee*
wide, aad the harbor is defended cn th
west side by f. its erected on two small
slands. The city occupies what i* gen
erally suppo-ed to be an island, but the
city is really built on a corn! ree< it is
a long, irregular peninsula, and it is
connected with the mainland-by a short
bridge at the east end. The town is
completely inclosed with maesivt walls
of stone and mortar which rise to "
height, in some places, or from 50 to 100
feet. It is a perfect speciman oi a wal
led town with portcullis, moat, ;;.tte*.
ane battlements. The fortification <•
were begun over 250 years ago, and
were still in go >d condition until they
were attacked by Admiral Sampson.
Like Havana and Santiago, San Juan
has a "Morro" Castle, or citadel rcalij
a round Moorish tower). The walls
have many sentry boxes at intervals
hanging out over the oca on the grim,
gray walls. One can find a counterpart
on a small scale in the old fort at St
Augustine. Florida, and they are in
every way similar to those Pt Havana
before her walls were torn down The
peninsula on which Morro and the
'glithonse stand is thrust out into the
-ea. one side breasting the thundering
surges of the Atlantic Oc.oan and tae
other guarding the iiacid water;- of the
berutiful and almoai. landlocked harbor,
The fortifications have one advantage
over a tleet in being at a considerable
elevation, thus enabling them to deliver
a plunging fire. In Admiral Sampson s
attack on Saa Tuan only one n.an was
killed on the American vessels, and the
Admiral's ship, did great damage, de
stroying many of the batteries.
Inside the walls the city is "laid off in
regular squares, six parallel street- run
ning in the direction of the length oi
the peninsula and seven at right nngles.
The houses are closely and compactly
built of stone and are usually one or
two stories high, stuccoed on the out
side and painted in a variety of colors.
The upper floors are occupied by the
more respectable people, while the
ground floors are almost without excep
tion given up to negroes and the poorer
classes. The population within the
w il3 is estimated at 20,000, and most of
tne j eople live on the ground floors
in one small room, with a tliuisy par
tition, a whole family will resile. As
may be supposed these- ground floors of
the whole town reek with fever, and
the conditions are most unsanitary.
Ah Porto Rico is >•, tropical country,
where disease would readily get a foot
hold, the corsoquence of such herding
may be easily imagined. There is some
water supply, but the poptilation de
pends also on rain water caught on the
flat roofs of the buildings and conduct
ed to the cistern which occupies the
greater part of the courtyard which is
the essential part of the Spanish house
the world o/er There is no sewage
except for surface water and sinks, ant'
the risk of contaminating the water
in the cisterns by adjacent vaults i -
very great. Epidemics are frequent,
and the town is alive with vermin,
mosqn'toes, and dogs.
The streets at* wider than in the older
part of Havana, and will accommodate
two carriages abreast. The sidewalks
are very narrow, and will only accoiu
inod ite one person. The pavements
are of a composition manufactured in
England They are unfit for very
heavy traffic, but are pleasant and dur
able when no very heavy strain i. :
brought upon them. The streets are
Ewept once a day, by hand, and strange
to say, are very clean. From iu topo
graphical situation, th" town should be
healthy, but it is not The soil under
the city is clay, mixed with iiaie, aud it
is so hard as to be almost like rock 11
is, consequently, impervious to water,
and furnishes a good natural drainage.
The trade winds blow strong and fresh,
and through the harbor ruus a t>tre;i u
of sea water at a speed of not lcdo than
three miles an honr With these condi
tions. no contagious disease, if properly
taken care of, co Ud exist, and without
them the place would Ik> a veritable
plaguo spot.
Though the main portion of San Juan
is inclosed within the walls, through
which entrance is obtaiued only by well
guarded gateways, yet there is a small
town by itself between the Marina and
the walls which contains two or three
thousand inliacitants. Here is to be
found a public garden and pleasure
I space for booths and restnnrauts. as
well as public cockpit where battles
royal are frequently waged. There are
also two suburbs, San Turce and Cata
no, across the bay, reached by a ferry.
The present expedition to Sa.i Juan
will not bo the only one which bus been
sent to capture the capital In 1096 it

and • mtinued to use the medicine for

It is getting to lie the proper thing
for farmeis ad well as merchants and
other business men to have printed .sta
tionary. And we can see no reason
why tiiey should not t-ike their proper
;>l:ux amoug imsinet--. man by adopting
btmiiiess methods in at. many ways as
jiossible. There is a combination of
business and sentiment in giving your
farm a name l''"e "\ alley lev I'lni-e,
Spring Farm" "Hiliside" or
soni"thiug of iLe J.n-d, as i: lends a rer
