DRENCHED WITH RAIN.

Lawton's headquarters, five miles
east of Santiago, Wednesday evening.
via Kingston, June 20.-The American
troops spent yesterday in feeling for
the enemy, otherwise engaging in re-
connoisances. Shafter in person. with
a small escort. went almost to Caney.
a small town five miles notheast of
Santiago, with which city il is con-
nected by railroad. Lieutenant Stand
ing and Lieutenant Adel of the Cubans
and American s~harpshooters occupied
the small hill northeast of the Ameri-
can lines and looking directly down on
both Caney and Santiago. Caney now
seems To hold about 800 Spanish troops.
The small number of troops now at
Caney indicates that, the ~Spaniards
have practically evacuated the place
and this is believed to be the case.
Lieutenant Standing was not molested
during his observation, though he
passed through a camp which "a hours
previous had been occupied by a
strong Spanish outpost. Corporal
Hucht of the eth infantry, who with
seven men was sent out seven miles
from Santiago yesterday morning and
was forgotten until this afternoon, was
found by Shafter and sen into camp.
They had repeatedly seen the Span
iards. who did not offer to modest them.
and the Americans spent the day as II
enjoying a picnic in the woods. The
corporal said that If he had with him
a sufficient force he could have brought
in 40 Spanish prisoners.
The camp conditions continue hard.
Heavy rains yesterday set everything
afoft. Rations, however, are being
served out regularly, but they are still
not plentiful. Officers and men fare
alike. The latter are suffering during
the cold nights from lack of blankets
thrown away on the march. These
have been appropriated by the Cubans.
who take everything in sight and do as
little as possible. On the whole they
actually fare better than our men.
The American officers generally ex-
pect a movement to-day to capture
Caney. which is five miles northeast OF
Santiago.

The Racing Season.
TOMORROW. in Butte. will start
the summers racing season for

~O-MORROW. in Butte. will start
the summers racing season for
Montana, with promise of sue
cess hi will eclipse the successes of
all former years. There are three hun
dred high-class race horses at the
Butte track. they will furnish sport In
tha city for a little more than a month.
after which the horses will be moved
to Anaconda for another month of rae
ing. closing there on September 10.
Then there will be a few days of racing
in Great Falls and in Hamilton. The
racing meeting is the season of recrea-
ton in Butte and Anaconda. and prob
ably nowhere else is so large a proper
ton Of Inc population interested in the
sport.
This arises from the fact that racing
is about the only recreation the people
of Montana cities have in the summer
time. In eastern cities baseball. golf.
polo. yachting. cycling. cricket and
other sports divide the attention of the
public with the horse racing. but in
Butte and Anaconda. while the racing
will compare favorably in all respects
with that of n track in the country,
other sports car be enjoyed only to a
limited extent. The people therefore
appreciate the Montana racing circuit
and hail with pleasure the opening of
the season. which means for them so
many enjoyable summer afternoons.
The races come at a time Of the year
when business is usually dull. and
many business men find agreeable re-
taxation in the sport.
Two important changes may be noted
in the race programme for this sum-
mer. One change is the holding of the
races in Butte first. Heretofore the
season has opened in Anaconda. The
other change is the limiting OF the
meeting to running races. In former
years harness races nav constituted
an important part Of the meeting.
While many will regret the absence Of
the trotters and PAGERS, no doubt the

our estimate on this can only be veri-

spirits of the Spanish. 1t also gave our
army the beautiful and well-watered

MONTANA REGIMENT INSPECTED.
There Are still 10000 Men In San Fran
cisco Waiting tn Sail.

San Francisco, June S0.-Since the de-
parture of the third expedition there
has been a lull in local military circles.
For several days previous to the sail
ing of the fleets all the departments
were working day and night. repara-
tions for the next expedition are al
most completed. The troops at Camp
Merritt are equipped n are drilling
five hours daily. Commissary stores
for another expedition can be obtained
and put aboard vessels within a short
time. The real cause Of the delay is the
lack of chartered vessels. and the ne
cessity of refitting passenger can
before they can be made to serve as
troop ships. Camp Merritt still con-
tains more than $1,000 men, and to
transport such an army to Manila IL
or Is vessels will be'needed.
IL is not probable h a all the troops
remaining here will be sent away in
one immense fleet. Detachments of
three or four vessels will sail at inter-
walls whenever they may be ready. Ger
tainly some of the -four battalions of
regulars from the camp and probably
the New York regiment. which is COM
ing to this place, will be sent first TO
the Philippines.
This morning the Montana regiment
was inspected by General Hughes. The
South Dakota regiment was inspected
in heavy marching order. At the field
hospital there is only one very serious
cas- In the hospital the number of
sick has slightly increased.

A Blind Leader.

- FTEN during his career in public
~ life Mr.. Grosvenor. of Ohio, has
been obliged to make apology
for his incorporate talk or for the
downright dishonesty of his assertions.
He is too partisan to be fair and too
much a political bigot to be just. IL
has happened within a few weeks that
Mr.. Grosvenor, not for the first time
by any means, has been compelled to
make his apologies IN the floor of the
house because of his reckless talk.
Failing to profit by experience, Mr..
Grosvenor made himself ridiculous at
the recent convention of Ohio repub-
leans by uttering the false assertion
that when the democrats in congress
were asked to appropriate money for
the prosecution of the war with Spain
''all but six of them in the house and
all but eight of them in the senate voted
mo IN every proposition"
This man is the rabid advocate of
territorial annexation. He is for TAX
ing all the territory that is in sight.
He thinks that this plan will carry the
country: i'm anticipation, he is working
hard to break down the civil-service
rules, so that the victors who. to his
mind. are republicans exclusively, will
be able to grab the enormous spoils of
conquest. all of them. and be the
oligarchy tnat will fatten on the fruits
of oficialIsm in foreign lands.
1T is difficult to form a rational con
lecture" says the Washington Post,
las To General Grosvenor's purpose in
making his perfectly unwarranted and
preposterous statements 1t is indeed
difficult. Why a man who poses as the
close friend of the president should
publicly utter what he knows to be
false and what his hearers know to be
false, passes understanding.

great majority of the racing public in
his section prefers the running races.
There is an agitation favorable to a
week OF harness racing prior or suisse
quent to the running meeting. n
this may be brought about In succeed
ing years.
1t is understood hat the management
will, this year. make greater effort than
ever to protect the public from unfair
methods on the part of the army of
touts and INSCRIPTIONS operators who
are an inevitabl- accompaniment of the
races. The people of Butte and ma
conda enjoy the races and are most
liberal patrons OF the betting ring. and
they are entitled to the fullest protec-
ton 1t is possible for the management
to give them. II is believed hat there
will be little cause for complaint this
year. Let all turn out and make the
opening day of the races a record
breaker.

Set the Tiger to Sueezing.

From the Cornhill Magazine.
An officer of the Bengal lancers. who
was seized by a tigress. owed his escape
to a curious accident. The tigress seized
him by the breast of his coat and shook
him until he became unconscious. On re-
covering he heard a strange noise at a
little distance, as IL somebody was sneez-
ing violently. 1t was the tigress herself.
He slowly turned around and gave a fur
tive glance in that direction. He could
hardly believe his eyes. There was the til
gress sinking of with her tail very much
between her legs and sneezing most vio-
lently and making the most pieous grim
aces. The truth dawned upon him like a
fash of lightning. In the operation Of
shaking him his snuff box had flown open
from his waistcoat pocket and the tigress
had received the contents Thereof full in
her face.

~HIS is the day when every per-
son in the United States be-
comes. through the vexing pro-
cesses Of the stamp tax, a contributor
to the cost of fighting the Spaniards.
Bear this fact in mind. The American
public is altogether out of practice in
this business; we haven't had the like
of il since the days of the civil war.
But. by neglect of the new Law. any
man can make for himself a heap of
trouble, besides costs and the like.
Checks. drafts, certificates of deposit.
kilograms, bills Of lading. express re-
ceipts. bonds. deeds. insurance policies.
leases, memorandum. articles of agree
ment. mortgages. power of attorney.
warehouse receipts-in short. almost
everything you can thing of. except
hotel bills of fare. must carry a revenue
STAMP. The prices vary. For a tele-
gram. the stamp tax is one cent, for a
check it is two cents. for a deed 1t rs
fifty cents for the first FIVE hundred
dollars and 'for each additional five
hundre dollars or fractional part
thereof il is fifty cents more. The new
law is rather confusing for those who
are not familiar with commercial trans
actions. Nevertheless it is a law that
is no respecter of persons, and you
must watch put If you want TO keep out
of trouble.
The stamps are of various denomina-
tions but. as far as the Standard Is
able to ascertain. the cities in this re-
gion have only a scant supply; indeed.
the Standard is not aware that, in
Butte or Anaconda for instance, there
Is a stock on hand, except of two-cent
stamps: and the supply of these Is
limited. Probably. documents for filing
which carry a considerable sum In reve-
nue. tax will. for the present. be well
mastered over with the two-cent de-
nominations.
The public will soon accustom itself
! 10 this new revenue law. 1t is a bother
some thing. but IL is a war measure
fathered by a political party that was
tickled to be assured that the simple
device known as the income tax was
not called constitutional by his coun-
try's supreme court.
The purpose Of the Standard this
morning is to warn everybody that this
arst day of July is the time when the
new revenue law goes into effect. IL
YOU are transacting almost any kind
of business. this law taxes you, and it
provides for your punishment If you are
needless. So look out for it.
Yesterday the question was raised
whether the state and the county and
municipal corporations have to pay this
revenue stamp tax. The question was
passed upon by Attorney General Nolan,
who fnds that a reasonable construc-
ton of the law indicates that il was the
intention Of congress to exempt from
sta mp taxes states. counties and muni-
cipal corporations, in the exercise of
the functions strictly belonging to them
as such corporations"

FURTHER DELAY At TAMPA.
Nobody mt Washington seems to Know
the Cause of 1t.

Washington, June 30.-Contrary to
the expectation of the war department
officials, there seems to have been some
delay at Tampa in dispatchine the
transports from there with reinforce
ments for General Shafter. The OFF,
cials yesterday felt sure that at least
some of the vessels would drop down
to Key West yesterday, but the reports
received to-day do not bear out this
hope. The advices which have come to
the department are not absolutely clear
in their meaning as to just when the
transports will depart, although some
OF them. according to these dispatches,
will surely get off tonight.

This is all very well for men to say
who lever saw a battle and who are

harmless type metal. What they as
sert is fatty denied by such soldiers as
General Wheeler; and the cCdntry will
prefer Wheeler's testimony.

of internal revenue has decided that rail-
