g p. m.)-This morning friday four
troops of the First cavalry, four
troops of the Tenth cavalry and eight
troops of Roosevelt's rough riders,
less than thousand men In all, dis
mounted and attacked 1000 Spanish
soldiers In the thickets within five
miles of Santiago de Cuba.
The Americans beat the enemy
back into the city.
At least fifty Americans were
wounded, including six officers. Sew

Twelve dead Spaniards were found
in the bushes after the fight, but their
loss was doubtless far In excess Of
that.
General Young commanded the ex-
pedition, and was with the regulars,
while Colonel Wood directed the op-
erations Of the rough riders, several
miles west.
ENEMY ON THE RUN.
Both parties struck the Spaniards
about the same time, and the fight
lasted an hour. The Spaniards OPEN
ed fire from the thick brush and had
every advantage of the numbers and
position, but the troops drove them
back from the start, stormed the
block houses around which they made
final stand and sent them scatter
ing over the mountains.
The cavalrymen were afterwards
reinforced by the Seventh, Twelfth
and Seventeenth infantry, part Of
the Ninth cavalry, the Second .Massa-

The Americans n ow hold the posi-

follows:
When Webb McNall came into

down the law. Their law was lar

Webb lay down his law and made
them understand that his law was

lN the history of the Republican

REPUBLICAN papers acknowledge
that their party is controlled by few
men. Read the following from the
Lawrence Journal, (Rep.): Take the
Hutchinson convention, for instance
what have the Republican voters OF
the State to say in reference to the
candidates? Not a word. There are
9l2 men there, hundred of whom
know what they want. The other
Sl2 will vote as they are told, or as
policy, or as the interests of their fav
orite candidate demands. The favor
ed hundred are controlled by dozen,
who dictate what the hundred shall
do, There are but three or four big
bosses and they fix things, and sen d
down their orders and the delegates
vote as they are told to vote. 1t is a
question whether or not Jim Jones
shall be made warden of the peinten-
tiary. If the is pledge given, hun
dred votes are ready for delivery to
John Smith for Governor. A hun
dred votes will nominate, and thus
it happens that John Smith is the
candidate for whom we will whoop 1t
up, and he is our candidate solely for
the reason that he pledged himself to
make Jim Jones warden of the peni-
tentiary. 1t is a great game this
thing of politics; it beats poker in its
intensity of interest and pigs in clover
in puzzling characteristics.
