Wheeler at Santiago.

"Gen. Wheeler started on the
two miles journey to the front in
an ambulance. About half way to
the front he met Some litters
bearing wounded. The veteran,
against the protest of the surgeons,
Immediately ordered his horse,
and after personally assisting the
wounded into the ambulance,
mounted and rode onward.
"The men burst into frantic
cheers, which followed the general
all along the line. ."-Correspond-
ence New York Tribune.
Into the thick of the fight he went,
paid and sick. and wan,
Borne in an ambulance to the front,
a ghostly wisp of man:
But the fighting soul of fighting
man, approved in the long ago.
Went to the front in that ambulance,
and the body of Fighting Joe.
Out from the front they were coming
back, smitten of Spanish shells
Wounded boys from the Vermont
hills and the Alabama dells:
'Put them into this ambulance: I'll
ride to the 'front.'" he said:
And he climbed to the saddle, and
rode right on, that little old ex-
Confed.
From end to end of the long blue
ranks rose up the ringing cheers,
And many a powder -olackened face
was furrowed with sudden tears,
AS with flashing eyes and cleaning
sword, and hair and beard of snow,
Into the hell of shot and shell rode
little old Fighting Joe!
Sick with fever and racked with pain.
he could not stay away,
For he heard the song of the yester-
years in the deepmouthed
cannon's bay
He heard in the calling song of the
guns there was work for him
to do,
Where his country's best blood splash
ed and flowed round the old
Red, White, and Blue.
Fevered body and hero heart! This
Unions heart to you
Beats out in love and reverence-and
to each dear boy in blue
Who stood or fell mid the shot and
shell, and cheered in the face of
the foe,
AS, wan and white, to the heart of the
fight rode little old Fighting Joe !

off should go to war;" he cried.
"And mingle in the fray,
I fear that some one else might come
And win your heart away.
'Tis not that l lack courage, love,
Believe me, but that fear
Of being robbed of you, sweetheart.
That makes me linger here"
"Then put your fear away" she said.
"And go and get your gun
Go, mingle in the fray and help
To make the Spaniards run;
I've formed resolution, and
I'll tell 1T unto thee
I want to be a warriors love,
No stay at home for me"

with the ambition for territorial
expansion and with his usual
picturesque vigor in advocacy of
that departure to which, in spite
of the strong arguments against it,
and by the force of circumstances
POSSIBLY, we are evidently tend

eff Louisiana, why not Texas?
If Texas, why not California? And,

The Spanish war was not ex-

hands invisible, it was upon US

We shall have to reckon with the

it nothing to compel the respect of
other nations? We cannot sink

Nor can we relegate ourselves to

Dew Ely is MAKING
READY TO STRIKE.
Plans for Capture and Oceu-
patton Agreed Upon.
CONCERTED ATTACK
WILL BE MADE.
Commanders of Fleet and Army
Decide Upon Plan of Cam
paign - Simultaneous Attack
Upon City by Land and Sea
Forces.

With Admiral Dewey's Fleet,
Manila Bay, July 81, via Hong
Kong, July 24.-The regiment of
Colorado's troops forming a part
of General Greene's command has
been removed from the transport
China, in which it made it's journey
from San Franciso, to the newly
formed American camp near
Malate. There it confronts the
last Spanish outpost which blocks
the entrance to Manila from the
south and which has long resisted
the onslaughts of the insurgents
The remaining troops of the last
detachment will be taken from
the transports as rapidly as posi-
BILE to positions around Manila
preparatory to a concerted attack
on the city by Admiral Dewey's
feet and the American land
forces.
Since thenews was received here
of the destruction of Admiral
Cervera's fleet at Santiago and o!
the return of Admiral Camara's
ships to Spain, the present time
has been considered the best for a
movement on Manila to compel its
surrender. Conferences have been
held by Admiral Dewey with
Generals Anderson and Greene
and plan has been outlined ior
the capture and occupation of the
city which has the approval of
those commanders. Recent visits
of the British consul to the
flagship Olympia indicate that q
final demand for the surrender
of the Spanish garrison is con-
templated, the British consul
acting as mediator between the
Americans and the Spanish
authorities. Most of the troops
now in camp at Cavite will be
advanced at once to the front to
take part in the important work in
hand.
Dispatches from Washinton are
expected tomorrow, and these are
likely to decide as to the program
to be carried out.
The Spanish soldiers in Manila
are being deceived by the war
council, which has charge of the
city's defences. They expected
Camara's fleet to arrive July 10.
and now they are looking for it to
appear at any moment and give
battle in the bay to the ships OF
Admiral Dewey.
There is great activity among
the insurgents, and it is evident
that General Aguinaldo desires if
possible to take Manila before the
Americans move against the city,
and thus increase greatly his
claims for consideration. In a
battle at Malate on the 18th. inst,
the insurgents suffered a loss
of Is killed. The Spanish soldiers
made a desperate sortie and gain
ed the insurgents trenches, but
in the subsequent fighting they
were routed.
The German cruiser Cormoran
is expected to return soon with
dispatches to the German admiral
which may close the trouble be-
tween Dewey and Won Didrichs or
may further complicate it.

DEMAND FOR COPPER.

t Causes Great Interest In New Dis
coveries.
Daring the past year the production OF
copper has attracted as much attention
as that OF gold. The demand for copper
Ia steadily increasing. and from the
present outlook II Is evident that IL will
continue TO increPse for some years,
while the production Is limited and new
discoveries have not kept pace with the
increase In the demand. Prices have not
advanced materially, though II is not i'm
probable that there will DO sharp rise
In the near future. Al present good
copper mine Is more desirable than a
gold or silver property.
One trouble in the way OF getting cop
per properties Is the uncertainty OF these
deposits. They are frequently shallow
surface saturatiOns OF thermal waters,
and experienced mining men are shy OF
pinning their faith TO the alleged dis
cOyeries OF rich copper deposits prefer
ring tO await the results OF development.
At the same time there Is always
the chance that these saturatiOns
may extend TO great depths. impreg-
mating all the material affected
by the overflow and filling the
creVlces in the rock with rich
concentration, and therefore there Ia al.
ways a peculiar fascination 10 mining
mau in new copper discoveries. When a
true hssure vein OF copper Is found IL at
once attracts attention, even though the
vein Is small, as the ore Is generally re-.
duced with ease, and the market Is al.
ways assured and remuneratiye.
With copper at its present high price,
there is no reason why every copper pros
pect should not receive attention. De-
yelOpment is the only source OF knowing
what wealth there IL In it.

COURT OF INQUIRY
FINISH REPORT!
Decision of the Court Still a Matter
of Surmise.
SPAIN WILL REFUSE TO PAY INDEMNITY.

Key West, Fla, March 22.-The United
States court Of inquiry into the lOss Of
the Maine has finished its labOfioua
work Of investigation and submitted the
report 10 Rear Admiral Sicard. Tie
pointed out some alterations which he
considers necessary, and the report will
probably be taken 10 Washington to-day
by Lieutenant Commander Mark, judge
advocate. Il Is possible, however. that
Its arrival in Washington may BE- delayed
several days longer.
The decision OF the cour' ~ still mat
ter OF surmise. Admiral sicard said TO a
correspondent: The case Of the Maine
Is perhaps the most peculiar which ever
occurred In the history Of the world"
From the general tone Of his remarks
II might be inferred that the court tind-
ings do not definitely solve the mystery
OF the explosion.
The court will remain In existence at
the call OF Admiral Sicard.
The general impression continues to
prevail that the court found the Maine
was Intentionally blown up.
