The army was compelled to leave its
rifles behind owing to certain laws, but
proceeded upon the city with side arms.
Away up the road a battery Of Cubans
was encountered. The enemy was strong
ly fortified with bottles of bad liquor, but
offered no resistance when the army ap-
preached
Jack" Mahoney advanced and draw
ing his bayonet demanded the liquor. This
was smilingly turned over by the Cubans
and Immediately handed to Artificial
Roach. The Cubans smiled and said:
"Ah, monay, mOnay?'
Gen. Mahoney flourished his bayonet
and after calling them communicated
scoundrels'' and threatening to have them
shot the army advanced. A halt was
made and the ''augumente,'' or liquid fire,
was sampled.
With new courage the army swept past
the provost guard and entered the city
| without losing a man or firing shot A
fruit stand attracted the attention of the
warriors, and. led by Gen. Mahoney, they
| advanced. After sizing up the supply
| the army, acting under Gen. Mahoney' S
| orders, selected a goodly supply. then
marched to the rear and formed in COM
pany front.
The times., 1898-09-07

The Spaniard who kept the stand eyed
the invading general until the latter be-
gan to follow his men, and then the air
was filed with cries of "Monay." "Ah
diablos.' "Carr-rr- -amba," and other ar
ticleS Of war which caused the army 10
flee in disorder to the trenches behind
the citadel.
The enemy having disappeared the
army proceeded to take the main street
1t made love to the women. and talked
Gaelic to the puzzled Spaniards. Finally
it espied a prize in the shape of a gaudy
cafe known as LA Favorita' The place
was taken without much resistance un-
der the brilliant leadership of "Rasp-
berry Howell, whose maneuvers were
superb. The army stood up against the
"Favorita'' and played it for all it was
worth. The enemy behind the bar de-
manded "monay" after each round and
was as often told to ''give's another drink
first
After struggle which lasted several
hours, the enemy discovered that
Chicken" Sisson had his shirt filled with
wine glasses, Rusty" Espey had man
aged to obtain box of cigars Kid
Eckdall and Jack" Mahoney were sing
ing the Star Spangled Banner under
his very nose, burglar King had ac-
cepted his hat as a relic and Tim Sulli-
van was preparing to furnish q tent with
cafe chairs.
The enemy at once took advantage of
tha truce and charged upon the army
The latter was taken by surprise and
sadly routed. It's flank was trying to
run past the van and the men were
cut off from one another.
The provost guard came to re-enforce
the enemy, and when Rusty Esppey
rallied, his command he discovered that
all were missing save kid" Eckdall
Alice" Duckett, and Tim" Sullivan.

Farther up the road and close to camp
a cavalryman admired the captured mule
and offered to exchange a bottle of liquor
which he had captured from Cuban for
the animal The exchange was made and
the joyful army proceeded to camp. To
prove that it had captured the city and
as a monument to its prowess the Irish
Dragons captured an old cannon on the
hill near camp and brought it into Com
pany A Street The bottle obtained from
the trooper contained embalming fluid,
but Company A drank to their capture of
Santiago, and the Sport"-sang
the Star Spangled Banner"
The captured cannon will proceed up
the avenue with Company A when the
boys return, So you will see that this is a
true chronicle of the real capture of San
tiago.
All others are limitations.

inc Island Toll-Abolitior Committee
VIII Receive Suggestions
The council committee appointed to
look up some plans OF action by which
the Island bridge tolls may be lessened,
or abolished,b by means Of some orange
ment with the bridge companies, is
willing, according to q member OF the
committee. to receive suggestions as to
any plan to accomplish the end in view.
This gentleman last night suggested
that an arrangement that might suit all
parties would be the leasing Of the
bridges just as is done by the Wheel
ing Railway Company.
He said that the Islanders contribu-
ted to the stone bridge bond issue, and
1t was reasonable for the other wards
to contribute taxes toward the rental OF
one Of the river bridges. An independ-
ent bridge, he said. would be out Of the
question, so far as he was concerned,
while the purchase of the bridge is a
proposition that would find much oppo-
sltion from the wards in the city pro-
per, for increase OF taxation was some
thing the average citizen would vote
against. Hence, he said the committee
would be pleased to receive suggestions
for q light out of the wilderness.

The check artist was abroad in the
land yesterday. and Wheeling business
men were given O call. About $50
o'clock. q young man, attired In o
brown suit and hat OF the same color.
and minus one arm, attempted to work
a check on House 6 Hermann without
success. He was more successful a few
minutes later at Alex. FTew's.
The stranger said he worked at the
Top min. and had. worked there two
weeks. His wife was coming down
from Pittsburgh, his former home. and
they intended furnishing a house on
Fifth street. Therefore he wanted fur-
nlture. but wanted It quick, as he had
to so to work at o'clock. the time his
a rather cursory inspection OF sundry
articles OF furniture, he ordered suffi-
Client to cost s4S.S5. and profrered q
check for SIC on Pittsburgh bank in
exchange. The check didn't CO. said
Mr.. House, without Identification, but
he offered to defray the expenses Of tel
egraphlng to the Pittsburgh bana to
find out II all was right. The stranger
failed to concur. and said he would get
his check cashed at Wheeling bank.
Instead Of doing this the check artist
visited Alex. Frew's furniture store on
Main street, and succeeded in accom-
plishing his object. Mr.. Kennedy Frew
received the check for the order, and
gave the stranger the change due,
which was s25.S5. the furniture amount
ing to about 81. Not satisfied with
this feat, the slick gentleman crossed
over to Hamburger Bros clothing store,
and selected suit Of clothes which he
said would do" Out came another
checked for his purchase, this one for
$50. The clerk asked for Identification,
which caused some nervousness on the
part OF the customer, and this nervous
ness grew to fear when Mr.. Rudy Har-
burger remarked: II think know you,
sir. You're the man who worked a bad
check on Mr.. L. S. Good two weeks
ago.. It's Z. x
No sooner had he said this than the
fellow dashed through the door for the
street, leaving his check behind. Mr..
hamburger pursued him across the
creek. but the fellow got away and 1t
was said he crossed the river in a skiff
last evening. Officer McCausland was
notified after the occurrence but too
late. It was said the fellow, who gave
his name as ]. P. Williams, has victim
lied several other business men in
Wheeling.
