When Capron, the brave captain of the Rough Riders, was shot and mortally wounded near Santiago some of his men rushed to him, He said to them:"IDn't mind me, boys: go on and fight."

The insurgent leader at Manila has managed to complicate matters some what by proclaiming hithself Presi dent of the provisional republic at Manila, on July 1. As General Mer ritt may have reached Manila by this time and as he bears with him a proc 1 imation declaring himself G overnor General of the Philippines it may per haps resolve the whole question into such shape that it will be exceeding :l difflicult to handle.

American arms and volunteers have g~ained several signal victories tluring to past few days. On July first the American soldiers before Santiago under command of Gen. Shafter made an assault upon the Spanish lines and captured the San Juan heights, which overlook the city of Santiago. The fighting took pllace Saturday and Sunday :and was very bloody. Our losses being about 1700 killed and wounded and that of the Spanish even greater. On Sunday morning July 3rd 1 :30 o'clock the Spanish fleet of Admiral Cevera boldly steamed out of the har bor and attempted to escape, then followed one of the most exciting eu gagements in our naval history. The Spanish made a gallant and desperate light but to no avail. The American ships pursued and fittred with unerringi aim. In a short time the entire fleet was, a lot of smoking wrecks along the beach. Admiral Cervera and about 1500 otlicers and men were . made prisoners. The Internal Rcveurme Law went into effect on the first day of July. According to the provisions of this act almost every legal document, will have to le stamped with Internal Revenue stamps. The price of money orders have been raised by I two cents. An Internal Revenue stamp of two cents will have to be placed upon every check. These stamps can be purchased from the Bank of Abbeville. Saturday night last the old sixponnd iron cannon exploded while a salute was being gred for soldiers passing through on the cars. The bo-ys must have given it an overdose. A large piece went through the top of Mrs. Train's b)rick buildin%. another through the gallery of Hotel Cost elo,. a third piece knocked down the block ing under the S. P. freight wharf. 1 It was fortunate that the explosion oceured at night about 11 o'clock or some of our citizens might have been killed,. this is the third explosion of cannon here, and it is about time to stop such proceedings, or else have the loading and discharging done by a regularly appointed squad of men. -Morgan City Review.

Dear Brother: You cant imagine how busy I ami kept, and in fact every one in the Bat tery. I think the last time I wrote to you I was still at Alcatraz Island, but since then I have been on the move until I am getting used to being on the go. From Alcatraz we were sent to An oleIsland,but we were not to stay there long, for after a month's stay on Angle 1 Island we then moved to Fort Baker, better known as Lirne Point, it is just across the Golden Gate from the Pres idio, they guar i the (Golden Gate.1 Well we were in (caup at Fort Fakeri ever since the first of e'buary so ' ou' can s(e I am getting well accustomed to camp lilfe, and ever since the war be gan I have been on the go. At first I tried to go south with the first I-teg ment of infautry when they left, but could not get to go, and thought I world never get to the front, but now: things are changed and we are cl:a:nged and we are to go to Man;ilal in the Philippinie Islands, it i a long ways off over seven thousand miol's fromu S.un Francisco. lBy the ti:oe you get this I will be away o:i tIh: dcl)p blue sea, as. we go on the boat Ohio Satiiiiday n.orn ing at ten o'clock, and will leave Tues day for lawnila, it will take us thirty :cays or longer to make the trip , aol I suppose longer.

It is told of ex-President Ruther ford B Hiayes that while attending ft school at Kenyon College. he was in tl the habit of taking daily walks in the A countTr. These trips were shared d by two intimate companions, who d were of a fun-loving disposition, si whic b frequently got them into h trouble. On one occasion they o more than met their Imat2h at repar- hl tee in an old farmer, whom they met 1 on the highway. The long w',.ite beard of the farmer gave him a patriarchal apipearance,. and while ft he was applroaching the studants, they arranged to give him a "jolly ing," which eventually termina:ted in in Sthe discomfiture of the youths. One of thei dloofed his hat with is gheat reverence and respict as he said. "Good morning. Father Abraham!" o I The second saluted the old farmer d - and said,' Good morning. "Father : Isaac'!" MIr. IIayes. not to bie outdone in 'affability and politeness, extended i his hand as he said, "-Good morning, SFather Jacob !" it . Ignoring the outstretched hand of h r Mr. Haye.s, the old farmer replied., !"Gentlemen, you are mistaken in the a ' man. I am neither Abraham, Isaac q i nor Jacob, but Saul the son of Kish, who was sent out to seek his Father's t asses, and lo! I have found themi."_ Exchange. . Benefits of a Railroad.

This being so, the small planters along the line will have much reason to rejoice. Texas Health Resort As a health resort, Ft.

The notion that we should enconn ter any insuperable difficulty in the establishment of law and order through out the Philippines is one that will not bear inspection. When we an nexed the huge Louisiana Territory, it was inhabited by Indians, if we except a few scattered settlements Speopled by, white men and half-breeds The same thing was true of Florida. The same thing was true of Califor nia and of 'the great tracts obtained from Mexico in 1848. The same Sthing was true of Alaska and the c Aleutian Islands. What we have cdone in the green tree, we surely can (do in the dry.
