on their way to the Senator at the Broadway dock.
 The city gathered to a civil Ieave-tak- ing of these men. The streets were crowded for their passing, the docks were crowded for their waiting. Flags waved for them, cheers rang, godspeeds were given and a few tears shed. But the flags and the cheers were for the | cause, the godspeeds were for the cour- age, the tears were tears of sentiment. No woman cast herself out of the crowd yesterday to hold her first born, or her last-and who shall say which is the dearer?-to her breast; no man seized the hand of his son and gripped 1t hard in that silence which between men means more than words; no wife chung weeping to her husband; no father took tender leave of his children; no sweet girl saw loves young dream go far from her to the wars. There were no last words, no last looks. no sad courage, none of the passion and pain of parting. These were our stranger brothers; we have already taken leave of our own.
 That vivid personal interest in the patriot which shook California to her | SOul OIi tHe Aou OL A1dyy SOODeQ beneath her cheers, wept behind her smiles, made tragedy of her pride and mourn- ing of her decorations-did not wake to the 14th of June.

equipment wagons rolled down the dock and baggage was rushed up and on board as soon as it arrived amid curses against the quartermaster department, U. S. A, which had failed to supply sufficient trucks for transportation and was widely accused of never having trucks ready when they are wanted
 The men lunched on coffee and sand- wiches passed around by delegation from the Red Cross and turned in for rest after the march. They needed it sorely, for the day was muggy, the equipment and uniform heavy. A few officers got at once into the multi of the tropics-linen uniforms, gay with blue and gold, Indian helmets and white gloves. The men stripped off their coats, rolled the sleeves of their teasing woolen shirts from newly vaccinated arms and stretched themselves out on the Turner beds on the banana deck'' or aft in the ordinary steerage, as they happened to be placed. There was scuffie for the steerage, which seemed to be generally favored, but the "ba- mana deck" is by no means so black as It's painted. The men squeezed down to it through the narrow hatchway, one by one trailing their guns after them, feeling their way gingerly along the dark passages, grumbling or laugh ing, according to the heart that is in them for the fortunes of war, stum- bling on the unaccustomed way, com- ing out suddenly on the network of iron hree-deckers known as the Tur- ner beds, of which there are 472 swung on the banana deck of the Zealandia. They are schemed to slide and fold one upon the other to form a sort of settee, cushioned by the mattresses and fairly | comfortable in this climate, however | they may be in the tropics.

including, one lieutenant were found in the fort.

During the attack several shots struck the ships in the har- bor, penetrating the pilot-house of the Associated Press dispatch boat Dandy. No one was in iured on board of her, however.
 The Dolphin this morning To- cated the Spanish water station on the ocean side of the harbor entrance, which supplied the water for the attacking force. The well was situated in a block house windmill, having a small garrison. It was shelled at 2ooo yards.
 The station was wrecked, and canister followed the retreatlng Spaniards up the steep ravine. Each shell disclosed the spot where 1t alighted by raising a cloud of dust. They were all well placed.
 The arrival of the fleet this af- ternoon to complete the bonn bardrnent of the town and its de lenses is expected.

Thus far the marines have had the best of the fighting, but the situation is grave and they are exhausted from repeIIing almost incessant attacks. They have little chance to rest or sleep and the time of the arrival Of the relieving troops is uncertain. Were it not for the guns of the fleet the gallant little band would be annihilated by the Spanish troops in oVerpoWering numbers from Santiago de Cuba. As it is they probably can hold their position, but they cannot move forward until re-en- forced by troops.
 What first, with the white tents on bold eminence against the tropic background, looked like a holiday camp is now grim reality. The tents have been struck and rolled into breastworks, supple mented by trenches around the crest of the hill The spot is lam entably exposed, on ground, while surrounding 1t on all sides is heavy brush. The least move ment in camp IS the signal for instant target practice upon the part of the Spanish sharpshoot- CTS, whose rifles carry much fur ther than ours, though their own CTS rarely hit anything they aim at.
 It is impossible to accurately estimate the Spanish attacking force, but 1t is numerous enough. About two thirds of this force surrounds the camp nightly, while the deadly ring and spat- ting of the Mausers make things quite lively, for the Spaniards are daring enough to crawl up and take a pop at the marines from the bushes about thirty yards from the camp. At night the be- siegers fight like Indians, and our old Apache fighters would feel in their element. Every yard of chaparral is an ambuscade, and picket duty is Tipping coins with death.

The fight was the first of the war in which the Cubans co-operated with the Ameri- can forces, and their coop eratiOn was not a glittering success. At one time during the afternoon whenever the marines were firing on a small detachment Of Span iardS that made their ap- pearance a short distance from the camp the Cubans began firing without orders and sent a vOlley right among the Americans. There were several narrow eS- capes, but no one was in- jured.
 Lieutenant Neville of Com pany D was sent out on scout duty, and, as on the day previous, he attacked small stone fort. A hot fight followed, and the Span iards were driven off with loss. It was during this fight that Wal lace and Tauman fell over the cliff.

 In the trenches the main part ofthe battalion last night waited for the attack that the Colonel was certain would come. It arrived in a short time after dark, and from that time until day. break the firing was inCeS- sant and at times very heavy. On the American side two men were killed and four wounded.
 The first attack of the Span iards was made at 8 o'clock, and the last shot was fired by them at about 3 o'clock in the morning. During the night the Spanish at tackled the camp of the marines on the shore, and the Marble head, believing the Americans had been driven out, threw out several shells into the place. The attack, however, was repulsed by the small detachment of marines in camp without trouble. The shells Of the Marblehead struck among the marines.

KAISER's VISIT TO JERUSALEM
Berlin Paper Speaks of the Moral
Consequences 1t Must
Entail.

The semiofficial North German Ga
zette. in speaking of the coming visit
of the kaiser to Jerusalem, says:
THE national heart swells with the
thought of the approaching imposing
entry OF the kaiser into the venerable
city of David and Jesus. We picture to
ourselves the mighty impression
which the majestic spectacle will
make on the lively fantasy of the ori-
entails. In spirit we see a message fly
throughout the world of Islam an
nouncing the indissoluble character
OF the friendship between the sultan
and the kaiser, an idea which will be
raised to quasi article of faith. From
this point of view it is easy to appre-
ciate the far-reaching moral conse-
quences which the kaiser's visit to
Palestine must entail"
The article then proceeds to discuss
the lofty position which the Germans
have won in the Turkish empire, and
attributes this to the kaiser's oriental
policy. which was always animated by
the sternest sense of justice and 10y
atty. 1t concludes that If displeasure
is felt elsewhere at the moral con-
quests which Germany has made in the
east 1t only shows that that country
has national conscience as regards
Turkey not SO pure as that of the
kaiser and his people.

tains.

Prince Victor Emmanuel, count of
Turin, decided to forego the pleasures
of society while in Chicago and devote
himself to preparations for the
months hunting trip. in the Rocky
mountains. which he is eagerly antici-
pating.- He was the recipient. of a
score or more of invitations to lunch
cons. teas and dinners, but he formal
ly declined them all and spent all his
time purchasing ammunition and
other supplies for his outing. He would
not intrust the work TO his er,ants,
but deemed ii of such Importance as
to demand his persona. attention.
The prince and his retinue of serv-
ants then left over the St. Paul road
They went directly to the Yellowstone
park, where short stop has been
planned. The following 80 days will
be spent in hunting big game in the
Rockies. Advance arrangements have
been made for the best guides to be
obtained in the mountain region. His
royal highness is anxious to make a
record in bagging big game, and be-
sides paying these guides enormous
wages, he has contracted to pay
large premium for each bear that is
killed. He has heard much of the
American grizzly bear. and is particu-
larry anxious to take several of their
skins back with him.
While in Chicago he refused to see
representatives of the press. his sec
retary stating that his time was fully
occupied in his prepa ra ations. He was
instructed to say for the prince that
his highness was most highly pleased
with Chicago and the reception that
had been accorded him, and that he
much regretted that bis plans, which
could not be broken, would not allow
him a longer visit there.

Obituary.

Wesley::Clark Fawley, son of Wright
and Anna M. Fswley, died at their home,
two miles west of Hillsboro, on the 3lst
of July, 1898, aged l6 years and II days.
The funeral services were held at the
Mt. Zion Reformed Church, of which he
had been member Tor two and one half
years, on Wednesday, August Sd, at
1880 q. M, conducted by Rev. LeSourd,
preaching from l Cor. xiii. IL, after
which the remains were inferred in the
Mt. Zion cemetery.
His death from typhoid fever, after an
illness of only two short weeks, came as
q sad blow to hislmany friends and rela-
tives. Especially severe is it upon the
parents and only sister who, BY their
loving care and devoted watchfulness,
had tried TO win him back to health.
The great concourse of people that
paid their last respects to him showed
only too plainly the esteem and respect
he had gained for himself in bis few
short years.
While the ways Of providence are
mysterious and past.6nding out, it seems
especially sad that one 90 young, just
blooming into manhood q sphere of
usefulness, should be cut down by that
grim reaper, death. CLARK had always
been exceptionally strong and robust,
fearing neither winters cold nor sum.

He was full Of fun and gayety, yet at

As friend he was generous and self

and thoughtful ~ son he was loving
and obedient.

Representative Amos Cummings, Of
New York, one of the six Democrats in
the House who voted with the Repub.
licans for the war revenue bill in its first
psssage, in his speech April 27, said :
II believe it the duty of every Democrat
to turn in and give the President of the
United States power to issue bonds, if it
it is necessary to carry on the war. In
doing this they sustain the vote they
gave in favor of war. In doing other
wise they stand on record as refusing to
vote supplies to carry on the war they
have hailed with such eagerness.

Tomlinson on the Defense.

Tomlinson is in great trouble. He
was started out to make personal fight
against certain persons on account Of
personal disappointments. Now he is
spending eolums in an unsuccessful at
tempt to defend himself and associates,
but the truth remains as given by the
NKws-HRRALD. This paper will not de
scend to personal blackguardism and
has no spite to avenge, and even If it
did would not drag the Republican party
of Highland county into its quarrels.
When an attempt is made as was at
the State Convention, and at the recent
selection of a member of the Board Of
Elections, to stir up factiopal trouble and
to humiliats and to work against the in
terests Of Senator Foraker, we will ex.
pose as we have done in these cases.
That we we're right is shown by the fact
that no amount of defending and ex-
planning can change the facts as given
in these columns.
Whether Mr.. Heiskell was pleased or
displeased at being wilfully betrayed we
have no interest, but to his credit it must
be said that he now understands and
denounces the outrage, notwithstand.
ing the frantic efforts of J. M. Hughey
and his visit TO Greenfield to deny wnat
he stated here.
However, the matter has reached the
point expected. Tomlinson is busy de-
Tending. The investigation talked of is
not wanted because they know that an
investigation would settle their story
forever, and then everybody knows that
just as soon as there is an honest effort
made for an investigation that it can be
obtained promptly, without opposition
from an source unless it be from them
on account of condition of work that
should be done by the clerk of Water
Works Board, and which has been taken
up by the Board OF Health.
