The marines were compelled to march
in single file, following the mountain
trial. Many Cubans darted backward and
forward to the right and left, on the
scout. 1t was noon when from hilltop
the Americans caught sight of the Spanish
camp lying on ridge below them. 1t

a cautious advance and were within two
hundred yards of the enemy before the
crack of rifle from the Spanish lines an

into line of battle with the Cubans on

whirling viciously over the Americans,

Very few Span1ards were in sight. They
were lying behind the huts and in the

their positions and enabled the Americans
to do effective work. For twenty minutes
both sides maintained Il terrific fire. The

For the most part our firing was done

THEIR GREAT BLUNDER.

The Madison Democrat hits the nail
squarely, when it says: The funda-
mental mistake of the democrats in
Wisconsin this year has been in lug
ging the Chicago platform with its Is
to fiat and other yagaries into the
local platforms. That issue is a pass
ing one. Possibly it may enter into
another national election; but the
sentiment that gave the movement its
potency in 1896 is fast dying out. The
fact that other nations are moving to
the single standard, the great produc-
tiOn Of gold now rapidly increasing in
the silver states, the plentitude of
money the general prosperity, all Oper-
ate to send the free coinage of silver
question to the dump heap, whereon
is cast the rubbish of past campaigns.
The democratic party is strong save
when it OyerlOads itself with some
weight like the silver question. But
its misfortune is that, in the hope of
getting an accession of votes from
some other party or faction, part Of
its managers are always trying to mix
up principles and endOrseisms that
are the hobbies of a few and not the
convictions Of the masses. In its
stand for free coinage of silver at the
arbitrary ratio Of Is to l it is warning
against the inevitable as much so as
when it became the champion of
slavery or the dupe Of greenbackism.

mends a general revision of the Cuban
tariffs on the line Of large reductions.
There is no doubt that Cuba, with a
reasonable and just tariff, will soon be
an excellent customer Of these United

cover from the rayages of war and

The Chinese at one time thought
they were self-sufficient and, in order
to enjoy their then advanced ciyiliza-
ton and prosperity, must build great
wall around their great country, not
only to keep others out, but to keep
themselves in. Now, a new civiliza-
tion is destroying their isolation by
force from without. Shall we also
say that we are self-sufficient and
stand still and wait till outsiders come
to force rs to yield to progress? Are
we to be another hermit nation with
finally a hermit'S fate2

TRAMrLED BY ARMY MULES.
Bicyclist Run Over and Injured by
FOur-MuIe Team.

Mr.. 8. Marcus was run over by an army
team yesterday morning about 10 O'clock
at the corner of Jones and Drayton
streets, and severely bruised about the
arms and legs. The accident seemed to
have been partly The fault of Mr.. Marcus,
who was riding his wheel, and partly that
of the colored driver of the wagon Both
kept the middle of the road, and the re-
suit was that there was a collision. The
bicycle and rider went down under the
hoofs of the four mules, and all of them
passed over before they could be stopped.
Maj. Lynch, the colored paymaster in
the corps, was in the wagon with an es-
cort. He and the men with him jumped
out as soon as the accident occurred. Mr..
Marcus was picked up and carried into
The Office of DIR. W. f. Fitch, which was
near al hand. He was given some atten-
ton, and after time the police ambu-
lance was summoned and the injured man
was taken to his home, at the corner of
Jefferson and Broughton streets. DR..
Fitch says his injuries, though painful,
could not be considered as serious.
Maj. Lynch showed every consideration
for Mr.. Marcus. He seemed to regret the
accident sincerely, and expressed an in
tention of seeing that Mr. Marcus is paid
for his wheel, which was totally demoi-
ished, and for his physicians services and
for his loss of time from his position.

Mr.. NJ. A. Wachstein.
This is the first accident that has hap
pened in Savannah through the fault
of an army teamster. Mr.. Marcus, how
ever, was the second man whom the driver
of the wagon had run over.
For the first few days The soldiers were
here there was danger of accidents on ac-
count of the teamsters being unfamiliar
with the rules of the road. They did not
know that the ordinances calls for drivers

therefore common until they caught on.
Now it is observed that the drivers are as

one of the effects of the coming of the
troops has been scarcity of milk and
a rise in the price. 1t is difficult for pri-
vate families and hotels and restaurants
to get as much milk as they need now,
and the price has gone up to anything
above 40 cents a gallon.
Before the coming of the troops milk in
gallon quantities or more could be bought
for 25 cents gallon, but things are now
different. The dairymen get 40 cents a
gallon for all they can sell. At this price
there is demand for il that cannot be
satisfied The hospitals of the divisions
ana regiments are anxious to get milk
for their patients, and they pay 40 cents a
gallon. The messes of the officers in camp
also want it, and they find 1t difficult TO
obtain.
Some of the diaries have had 10 drop
their city customers to meet the demand
for milk nearer at home. Those in the
neighborhood of the camps have applica-
lions for the product of their cows that
can hardly be resisted. Colonies of regi-
ments want ii for their messes and for
their hospitals. They say they are Obliged
to have it for their sick men, and that
if they can't get it in any other way, they
will resort to a method that they are
permitted to employ, and that is to take
il and pay for H.
Some of the dairymen are complaining
of depredatons made by the soldiers. Sew
eral have said that they have tried 10

and have found that the soldiers have
been before them. Such little things as
this, though they are not OF constant oc-
