LATE WAR NEWS.

Rear Admiral Montijo commanding,
off Cavite-pronounced Katveetay-
with the accent on the wee" Here
the Spaniards had a well-equipped
navy yard, called Cavite arsenal.
Admiral Montijos flag was flying on
the 3,5OO-tOn protected cruiser Reina
Cristina. The protected cruiser Cas-
tilla. of 5000 tons. was moored ahead
and astern of the port battery and to
seaward, where the cruisers Don Juan
de Austria, Don Antonio de Ulloa, Isla
de Cuba. Isla de Luzon. Quiros, Mar
ques de Onero and General Lezox. The
ships of the flagship remained under
way during most of the action.
With the United States flag flying at
all their mastheads our ships moved to
the attack in line ahead with speed
of eight knots. first passing in front
of Manila, where the action was begun
by three batteries mounting guns pow
erful enough to send shell over us at
a distance of five miles.
The Concord's guns doomed out a re-
ply to these batteries with two shots
No more were fired because Commo-
dore Dewey could not engage with
these batteries without sending death
and destruction into the crowded city.
AS we neared Cavite two very pow
erful submarine mines were exploded
ahead of the flagship. This was six
minutes past ) o'clock. The Spaniards
evidently had measured our position.
Immense volumes of water We're
thrown high in the air by these de-
stroyers, but no harm was done to our
ships.
Only a few minutes later the shore
battery at Cavite Point sent over the
flagship a shot that nearly hit the bat

Wheat continues to steadily advance
in price. High grades of cash wheat
at Chicago command from $1.07 to 81. 10
and the May option ranges from $1.I1
tu el.25. In all of the markets of the
country wheat has passed the dollar
mark and nothing but the frantic ef-
forts Of bear spectators keeps it from
going much higher. Up to the present
time wheat has advanced in spite of
the general depression incident to the
long-continued strain. Never in the
history Of the market has there been
such a scarcity of wheat abroad and 1t
is dimcult to see why wheat will not
make new high records before the next
crop IL harvested.

joints Didn't Close.

With the exception of two places.
every joint in the city was wide open
Monday morning and malt on sale for
all who cared to buy. From all ap-
appearances the jOintiSts have decided
to resist the efforts of City Attorney
H. L, Woods to make them quit the
sale OF malt.
The twOplaces which closed Monday
morning will probably remain closed
until the prOprietOrs see their way
clear to open up. The jointists who
were opened up ready for business had
very little to say when questioned as
to their intention of obeying or dis
Obeying the city attorneys command
to quit business. They talked in a
defensive manner about the city at
tOrney'S rights TO govern them ST long
as the city granted them a license to
run. 1t is evident that the jOintiStS
will allow the city attorney to arrest
them and make a test case. They do
not believe he will be able to secure a
conviction, in the face of the fact
that all past efforts to prove that malt
is Intoxicating have been a failure.
and in the face CT the fact that the
city by licensing the joints puts the
stamp of Legitimacy on the trade.
City Attorney Woods, when asked
Monday, if he had any knowledge Of
thejOintS being omen or as to what the
proprietOrS intended to do regarding
his warning, replied that he knew
nothing of either. He made No fur.
ther statement of what he intended
to do in the matter.

children living at Newton. The Ram
sey girl lives south Of Hunnewell in
the Strip and comes Ct good family.
She has cousin in Hunnewell who is
the wife OF a prominent merchant
there, and is well thought of. Some
of Babe" RamSey's doings in Hume
well have caused wide comment and
are unfit for publication. She has
sunk about as low as an abandoned
woman can sink. Young Anderson is
a most contemplate, disgraceful and
worthless vagabOnd, who takes a pride
in his record. He deserves a sentence
in the penitentiary there is any way
to get him there. The officers next
Thursday should mete out to both of
them the SevereSt penalties that ap-
ply to their case, and after Serv-
ing, they should be ordered to get
right out Of town and warned never

Wednesday at 1905 o'clock am. The
feature of the time card is the extern
sion of the train service frOm Panhan-

Wednesday the passenger train which
leaves this place at 1890 o'clock now
goes to Washburn daily. Heretofore
the train has stopped at Panhandle
and there was only freight service
between those stations. The trains
will run over the Fit. Worth & Denver

This extension is looked upon as
the first improvement in the train
