very hot and at close range The
Spanish used the volley a great deal
while my men fired as individuals. We
soon found that instead of 1900 men
we had struck a very neavy outpost of
several thousand. However, to cut a
long story short. we drove them stead
lily but slowly, and finally threw them
into flight. Their losses must have
been very heavy. for all reports coming
out of Santiago report a good many
dead and wounded, and that they, the
Spanish, had 1000 men and two ma
chine guns (these we SAW and were
under two general officers, and that
the Spanish dead and wounded were
being brought in for six hours: also
that the garrison was expecting an
assault that night, that the defeated
troops reported that they had fought
the entire American army for four
hours. but. compelled by greatly SUI
perior numbers. had retreated, and that
the army was coming. etc.
MY men conducted themselves splen-
didly and behaved like veterans. going
up against the heavy Spanish line as
though they had the greatest contempt
for them.

Refuses to Give Cubans Food.

Washington, July s.-The war depart
ment officials express no surprise at the
action of one of the American generals
with Skaters army in refusing to ex-
tend rations to some of the Cubans be-
cause of their refusal to do menial work
as required of them. While the desire
and purpose of the government is to feed
the Cubans who may need IL, yet this
matter rests with the commanding gen.
eral, who unquestionably has the right
to withhold rations If for any reason he
deems such action necessary. A sepa-
rate account of all food furnished to the
Cubans is TO be kept by the army off,
GERS. so that at the end of the war an
intelligent statement of the subject may
be given 10 the public.

Charleston, $. c., July S.-The cruis-
ers Yale and Columbia, with the 9Th
Massachusetts, and one battalion Of the
9Th Illinois aboard, lie off the lightship
at the entrance of the harbor tonight,
and probably will sail before daybreak
for Cuba. The embarkation of the troops
began at midday. They were marched
to the wharf, where the steamers Com
modore Perry and Planter were in wait
ing. The men went on board and. amid
the cheers of the spectators and the
men of the other regiments, steamed
down the harbor in the face of a heavy
rainstorm. The work of trans-shipping
the soldiers was accomplished without
mishap. By some mistake one COM
pany Of the 9th Massachusetts was left
on the wharyes when the steamers
started. Adjutant Butteraimes prompt
ly chartered a tug and took them out
to the transports.
General Nelson A. Miles and his staff
arrived N the city at $3.50 p. m. and
went out to the Yale. The expedition
numbers i'm all 1,720 men. There are
still in the city 1000 troops and others

SPAIN Is ALARM ED.
The Army Must Win a victory Before
Peace Is Declared.

Madrid, July s. p. MIA Corre-
spondencia de Espana says there is
feeling of alarm due to the belief that
the United States warships Oregon,
Texas and Newark are now on their
way to Spain. and that precautions are
being taken at all the seaports TO avoid
a surprise. The ministers are divided
in their opinions as to the advisability
of immediate negotiations for peace.
The war party is inclined to adopt the
view of Marshal Martinez de Campos,
who considers that the army must first
by a noble victory wipe out the defeat
of the navy. The peace party urges di-
rect negotiations with the United States
rather than parties whose selfshness
has allowed Spain to be crushed by a
strong enemy and who now intrigue
for harder conditions, thereby to profit
by their dismemberment.

A SPANISH PRIVATEER.
II Is said to BE Cruising on the Pacific
Coast.

Coast.
Washington, July S.-The navy depart
ment has been informed that a Spanish
privateer. carrying five guns, Is hover
ing off the coast of British Columbia.
According TO the last accounts, the pri-
vateer was between Prince Charlotte
sound and Dixon entrance. Prompt in
structions have been sent the military
authorities of the northwest coast.
San Francisco, July s.-The report
from Washington that a Spanish pri-
vateer is lowering OFF the coast of Brit
ish Columbia is not credited here. IL a
Spanish privateer Is really cruising of
British Columbia she will have rich
pickings. The steamers Roanoke and st
Paul are due TO arrive from st. Mich
aels with big shipments of treasure
The steamer Leelanaw Is also due with
returning prospectors and their clean
ups.
Seattle, July S.-No credence what
ever is given here TO the report that a
Spanish privateer is lying off the Brit
ish Columbia coast to intercept gold
laden steamers from st. Michaels,
Alaska. Shipping men regard the
story as a hoax. and say that il doubt
less originated in the desire of British
Columbia cities TO divert all klondike
traffic to Canadian points.

Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carrni, H., to the Bradfeld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ca, the proprie-
tors and manufacturers of Mothers
Friend" This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines adj
yertised to do unreasonable things, but a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier it
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
1t not only shortens labor and lessons
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin-
ishes the danger to life of both mother

dition more favorable to speedy recovery.

When Children Ask Questions.

Try your utmost to be patient with
children at all times. They will try
your nerves, to be sure, but you must
remember that some children have
naturally inquiring minds, and it is
the natural result of its activity that
they question you. If you will use
care in answering them and explain
everything as simply and thoroughly
as possible, you will be well rewarded,
for by this means the mind will de-
velop naturally and its education can
be carried on without harmful strain
or effort. II elders would only reason
and consider what sweet, frail, help
less, innocent thing a child is, many
would perhaps be more willing to ex-
tend helpfulness at cost of personal
sacrifice, and certainly the child's
life would be brighter and happier

Caused a Sensation.


plucked from the golf grounds of the
E1moor Club, at Highland Park, Chi
cago, to try the effects of the green
stuff on the feline members of the Zoo.
This herb, which does not grow, SO far
as is known, in the haunts of the cous-
ms Of the cats, created great sensa-
ton at the Zoo. The scent of the plant
filled the whole place, and as soon as it
had reached the parrots corner, the
two gaudily-attired macaws set up
noise that drowned thought, and made
for the side of the cage, poking their
beaks and claws through. When the
catnip was brought near they became
nearly frantic. They were given some
and devoured it, stem, leaf and BIOS
som, with an avidity commensurate
with the noise of their voices.
The keeper and the catnip carrier
then made for the cage of Billy, the
African leopard. Now Billy, so far as
is known, had never before smelled or
seen leaf of the plant. Before the
front of the cage was reached he had
bounded from the shelf, and stood ex-
pectant. The man with the catnip
purposely waited few minutes before
he poked any of the green leaves and
yellowish- flowers Of the plant
through to the big cat.
Finally, double handful of catnip
was passed through to the floor Of the
den. Never was the prey Of this Afri-
can dweller in his wild State pounced
upon more rapidly or with more abso-
lutte savage enjoyment. First Billy
ate a mouthful of the catnip, then he
lay fat on his back and wrlggled his
sinuous length through the green mass
until his black-spotted yellow hide was
permeated with the odor of the plant.
Then Billy sat on a bunch Of the cat
nip, caught a leaf-laden stem up in
either paw and rubbed his cheeks,
chin, nose, eyes and head. He ate an
additional mouthful or two, and then
jumped back to the shelf, where he
lay, the very picture of safety and
contentment.
In the tigers cage there is very
young, but full-grown, animal, cap
tured within eighteen months in the
iungles of India. When the great sur
ly beast inhaled the first sniff of the
catnip he began to new like a kitten.
Prior to this the softest note Of his
voice had been one which put the roar
of the big-maned South African lion
to shame.
That vicious tiger and his kindly-dis-
positioned old mate fairly reveled in
the liberal allowance of the plant
which was thrust into their cage They
rolled around on it and played togeth-
err like six-weeks-old kittens. They
mewed and purred, evidently discuss
ing the question as to what this strange
plant was which gave them a variety
Of pleasure never before experienced.
They tossed it about, ate of it, and, af-
ter getting about as liberal a dose as
had Billy, the leopard, they likewise
leaped to their respective shelves and
blinked lazily at the sun.
The big lion, Major, was either too
dignifed or too lazy to pay more than
passing attention to the bunch of cat
nip which fell to his lot. He ate a
mouthful or two of it and then licked
his chops in "that's-not-ha lf-bad"
way, and then went back to his nap.
The three baby lions quarreled over
their allowance and ate it every Bit
