onet charge caused them to flee in all
directions The insurgents left on the
fields twenty-five dead.
They carried off with them many
more of their killed and a great number
OF wounded. This is according to the
official report. The Cubans ask how it
was. if the patriots We're routed, as
the Spanish commander says. they
found opportunity to carry their dead
and wounded with them. The Spanish
loss in the engagement was four killed
and captain. three lieutenants and
forty-siX soldiers wounded.
Surgeon-General Losada officially re-

NATIONAL GUARD.
Spring Inspection Reports Show the
First and Thirteenth Regiments
Close Ia the Ratings.

Harrisburg. Pa, July 5.-Inspector
General Morrell's report of the spring
inspections in the National Guard is
ready for distribution and will reach
all the company commanders this week.
The systes, of rating will make a diff
ference in the standing of several COM
mands.
The City troop, of Philadelphia. takes
the lead of the cavalry branch of the
guard with 9O.G4 as its figure of efii-
cheney, which figure Is the product of
the general average multiplied by the
percentage of attendance. The general
average of the City troop is 1884. Bat
terry c, Third brigade, leads the artil-
lery with 96. 80 as its general average,
and 1881 the figure of efficiency
The First and Thirteenth regiments
are close together, but the fourth and
eighth crowd them hard. the general
average of these regiments being close
to the 100 mark. Company b, Eighth
regiment, is the star company, Its fig
ure of efficiency being 951S. Company
c, Ninth, comes next with 94.39, and
Company B. Sixth, third, with 9322.
The inspector general makes some
important recommendations and calls
attention to q number of defects. Here
after the proper signals in the extend
ed order drills must be used and the
setting up exercises conducted by nom
commissioned officers. otherwise in
spectors will give no credit for the same
in their report. He says regarding the
change in the method of arriving at the
percentage of attendance that while he
fully appreciates the necessity Of every
man appearing at inspection. yet he is
satisfied that more credit should be CIV
EN- to company whose members con-
scientiously attend drills during the
year. For this reason he has made use
of the percentage of attendance at drills
as factor in arriving at the figure Of
efficiency.

PROGRAMME OF
TELLER BOOMERS
They Make a Great Show OF Strength at
Chicago.
PROPOSE TO MAKE THE TERMS
Acting Upon the Claim That Teller Is
the Only Siiverite Who Can Garry
the Country for Silver, They Will
Not Occupy the Position of Tail on
the Democratic Kite.

Chicago, July 5.-The Teller men today
began to define their policy. They are
growing more enthusiastic as the con-
Vention draws nearer and are making
definite claims as to the strength of
their candidate. They have prepared
statement showing the number Of
electoral votes which they claim will
be obtained If Teller is made the choice
of the convention. This statement is
being used TO influence Teller senti-
ment among the delegates. Congress-
man Bailey. of Texas, a delegate-at-
large and one of the Bland leaders has
also prepared a statement giving the
number of electoral votes the Demo-
fall far below those prepared by the
Teller faction. The two statements
have been compared and the Teller
people are saying that the Bland men
and supporters Of other candidates
pledged to free silver are very much
impressed with Teller's alleged
strength.
The Teller statement gives the Col
orado man 256 electoral votes, while
Mr.. Bailey foots up only 197. The Tel
ler men have been frank with the
Democratic silver leaders. They will
not concede the right Of the Demo-
cratic party to dictate the entire pro-
gramme to he followed in the event Of
the Colorado senator's nomination and
election and are trying to reach an un-
derstanding on these points before the
convention assemblies.

Iawley, July 5.-Shortly after IL
o'clock, noon. today while Fred Meis-
euger and family We're being served
with dinner the alarm of fire was
given by some people who were re-
turning home from church. At that
time smoke was coming through the
shingles on the roof of his residence
and it was then too late to try and
save the building. Every thing that
was movable and the household
goods were taken from the build
ing. Afterward every effort possible
was then made to save other buildings
close by, which proved successful af-
ter hard and desperate fighting of fire
by bucket brigade.
The residence of L. J. Oldfield and the
ware rooms opposite the depot caught
fire from some of the flying sparks,
but was subdued and the loss was
confined to Messengers dwelling. In.
surance is with the Baumann agency.

statement that they base their de-
niands on the Democratic liver leaders
They are endeavoring to effect an
agreement with the Democratic leaders
as to the platform on which Mr.. Teller
can make the race. They want, Of
course, to make the financial plank the
main feature and subordinate every
thing else to 1t.
Federal office holders are beginning
to come In, but whether or not they
will take any part in the proceedings

Horse Breediuc in Montana.

Rocky Mountain Hushandman: A
horse breeder of good standing in the
state writes quite a discouraging letter
about his prospects and the horse in
dustry generally. He complains be-
cause the farmers do not buy more
young bred stations and improve their
stock. The fact is that there has been
nothing TO encourage farmers the past
three years in breeding horses of any
kind and there are many who have
given no attention whatever to their
horse stock. We Do not wholly approve
of this course but certainly there has
been nothing to enthuse them in the
line of improvement OF their herds. and
very few have felt inclined to invest
money in stations. No one regrets
this condition Of things mora than do
