GOOD ROADS.

Good roads mean money for Phoenix. Whatever Iessens the cost of transpor- tation adds to the wealth of a com munt5y. Coed roads bring trade to the city Ranchers will sometimes do without needed articles rather than drag through mud or dust to get them. Phoenix is fortunate in having net far away gravel beds of excellent quality by the use Of which all her roads may be made good. An excellent illugtra- ton of the benefits of gravelled roads was referred to in 9 recent issue of Aihe Republican as seen on the road to Tempe after the storm. This much traveled road, one of the most important in the valley-leading to Tempe, the territorial asylum and the orange groves-was gravelled only last year, and is now smooth and solid. When the roads in the city were heavy with mud ',his road was dry. If it had been sPrinkled occasionally during the summer Gi would have been in still better condition. It is strange that more of the city streets have not been built up with this gravel. Some of the material piled upon them has only made them worse
 By proper sewerage and the use of this gravel Phoenix could soon have dry and handsome streets, and side walks which would enable The children to attend school during stormy wealth CT It is time for the city to address itself earnestly to this question.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 49,
The Spanish government in Cuba
has been making advances to the
insurgent leaders, endeavoring to
win them from alleg 'ance to their
cause. One of the missions of Vir-
gilio Lopez Carez after he has
reached Manzanil'o, is to see Bar
tholomo Masso, and make propos-
ais to him.
Gen. Pando went on similar
mission to Gen. Gomez, offering
him large sums of money if he
would join the Spanish forces and
any position he desired in the
army. The lieutenant general OF
the Spanish reserves in Havana
stated officially that Gen. Gomez
replied that he would consent If he
were placed in con- mand of 10000
men to go and fight the Yankees.

OPTICAL NEWS BRIEF.

The Completion Of the DeDarlxEtiOn
wired by staa OHicor Under shat
ter-GreeIy's slsnsl Service at Work.
Washington, June 23.-The only
positive news coming to the war
department up to the close of Office
hours was a dispatch to General
Miles from one of his staff officers
with General Shafter, and also a
brief dispatch to General Greedy
from Lieutenant Colonel Allen.
General Miles dispatch stated in
substance that the landing of troops
had been completed without any
casualties, save to one Cuban SOL
der, who had his arm injured by
the bursting of a shell.
The troops of Garcia and Rabi,
about $500 in number, had met the
American forces with enthusiastic
greetings. Stress was laid upon the
point that the Cubans are well
armed and we'll disciplined. Gen.
Garcia was confident that his forces
would be swelled to 10000 men as
soon as Santiago falls. About the
only needs among the Cubans were
shoes and quinine.
The dispatch to General Greedy
merely stated that progress was be,
ing made in connecting the militia
ry forces directly with the War
Department.
The impression here is that the
Spaniards will make their strong
est stand close To Santiago and the
inner harbor, within the range OF
protection of the guns of the big
Spanish cralsers lying there. There
is no doubt that until these ships
are removed from the field Of oper-
atoms the campaign against Santi-
ago will be conducted against odds.
The guns of the ships command the
hills over which our soldiers must
come to attack the town and reach
the bay, but we will soon bring our
own artillery into play.
The naval officials here believe
that when the time CONES for an
attack by land upon the town,
Sampson will force his way into the
harbor and take part in the en-
gagement. They are satisfied that
the wreck of the Merrimac does
not completely block the channel.

STORY OF THE LANDING.
Reports Say That 1t Was a Beautifnl
Piece OF Strategy.

FIVCc VA
Playa de Este, Cuba, June 49,
via Kingston, Jamaica, June 90
The landing of the American forces
at Baiquiri was beautiful piece OF
strategy. BY o'clock yesterday
afternoon 5000 men had been land
ed on the Carnegie dock and there
fore the remainder of the troops
were put ashore rapidly. Juragua
iu the bay of Bacano, was also
used as landing place. IT. down
the coast several miles nearer to
Santiago than Baiquiri.
General Shafter and Admiral
Sampson started the movement at
2 o'clock Yesterday. The battle
ship Texas was selected to make a
feint to the west and she did her
work we'll. She ran in shore and
back to sea, showing all her lights.
The western batteries opened hre
on her and the Texas replied with
remarkable effect. The gunnery
of her crew seems to improve with
every engagement. Meanwhile
the transports were ready to land
at the mines, though standing we'll
out to sea while the Spaniards
were being drawn Of the different
points.
All the small gunboats opened
fire at the different coast points
from Santiago to the mines, and
succeeded in silencing the block
houses and batteries and prevent
ing the sending of troops to the
east to oppose the landing. The
whole plan was successful beyond
expectations and by midnight last
night the main portion of General
Skaters forces had gained a firm
foothold on Cuban soil. General
Skater is a man of action and a
forward movement is expected
within a few hours. While the
eunboats and the Texas were paw
ing the way for the landing the bat,
tleships Massachusetts,, Oregon and
Indiana lay close up off Santiago
harbor ready to pounce on Ad-
miral Cervera's ships should they
sally forth and attempt to attack
the transports. No such attempt
was made.

a good appetite and sleep we'll. The
grub is better than l have eaten

We had beefsteak, scrambled

There is lots of kicking on this

new recruits yesterday from Fair

first meal at Uncle Sans hotel

and numbers 100 men.
l do not think that we will have
to stay here more than two weeks
longer and possibly not so long as
that, as l think we will leave as

Bad management keeps more peo-
pie in poor circumstances than any
other one cause. To be successful
one must look ahead and plan
ahead so that when a favorable op
portunity presents itself he is ready
to take advantage of it. A little
forethought will also save much ex-
pense and valuable time. A pru-
dent and careful man will keep a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy in the
house, the shiftless fellow will wait
until necessity compels it and then
ruin his best horse going for a doc
tor and have a big doctor bill to
pay, besides; one pays out IS cents,
the other is out a hundred dollars
and then wonders why his neighbor
is getting richer while he is getting
poorer. For sale by c. W. Grier.

SWIMMING OUT WAS EASY.
Hut the Sergeant DIDN'T Come Bncss

Hur the Sergeant DIDN'T Come Back
Until Long After Drill.
During brigade encampment year
OF two ago at Scarborough, says an
English paper, a certain sergeant, in
conversation within the mess tent one
morning, loudly asserted that he could
swim to particular big buoy a mile
or more from the shore, and back. Be
ing challenged to 'prove his words"
he was soon bravely breasting the North
sea.
Swimming strongly, he was observed
to reach the aforesaid buoy, scramble
thereon, wave his hands, and then sit
down. AS he, however, continued to
sit there without attempting to move,
and parade time approaching, his COM
rades reluctantly returned to camp,
greatly wondering why he tarried ON
the buoy, to be reported absent from
parade"
Drill done, and the news Of our
hero's exploit having spread throughout
the camp, large crowd of officers and
men hurried to the beach, only to see
the aquatic absentee still "as you were"
out at sea.
Now, convinced that something was
seriously amiss, rescue party was
quickly rowed to the spot, and dis
covered that the Inflated swimmer was
not dead, but only stuck fast to the
buoy, which had been newly tarredl

DlANA's MIRROR.
The Nemi Lake I'm Latium to he Sold
at Auction,


at Auction.
The Nemi lake. in Latium, is by q
judicial decree to be sold by auction.
In classic times, says the London
Daily Graphic, it was bounded by a
vast forest, the whole region was sa-
cred to Diana and the bright surface
of the lake was called Speculum Di-
amaze, or Diana's Mirror. There was
temple of the goddess beside the lake
and its priest was in the early days
of the empire the "king of the grove"
whose precarious existence is recorded
in Dean Farrar's Darkness and Dawn"
He was generally an escaped criminal,
who slew the slayer and should him
self be slain"--that is, he held the
shrine by the right of having slain
the last hermit-priest, till he himself
were dispossessed by violent death.
In imperial times the lake and its
shores were the scene of many patri-
clan water fetes and the playground of
the court of Tiberius. A few years ago
one of the royal triremes, a three
decker, was discovered here deeply SUBJ
merged. 1t yielded rich treasure
trove in coins, bronze heads of lions
and tigers and bronze efIigy of Me-
dusa. The inscriptions showed that the
trireme was dedicated to Diana. The
lake is believed to be rich in archaic
treasures and records of the court of
Tiberius and the cult of Diana.

SPANKED THE WRONG PERSON.
Chicago Woman's Funny Attempt to
Suppress COckHghtfng


The Bridgeman family have a good
joke on mater, reports the Chicago
Times-Herald. She had promised ten
year-old Dick spanking if he brought
Tim Rogers and his game chickens into
the basement again.
One night when she went down to see
that everything was secure she found
unmistakable signs of battle. Then
she remembered that Dick had been
unusually quiet and well behaved at
dinner and had gone to bed early. So
she went upstairs with stern deter
mination in her soul, for the mill of
maternal justice grinds surely in the
Bridgeman family.
Straight to Dicks room she went, and
ii her heart softened at sight of the
quiet figure in the bed and the dark
head outlined against the pillow it did
not stay her hand. She turned down
the bedclothes and vigorously applied
the slipper. Instantly a roar came
forth in the bass of her grown-up son.
Thunder and blazes, mother, what
the deuce is the matter2"
There was an explosive smoker from
under the bed, but Mother Bridgeman
was too used up to trace the smoker
to its lair. And Dick didn't get prom

DENTISTRY All SEA.
And Something Also About the Prac-
tice of Medicine Anoaf.


When sailor on deep-water ship
has toothache he is likely to go to the
captain. The captain gives him some
thing out of the medicine chest to put
III his tooth, and If that doesn't cure it
perhaps he pulls it, says the New York
sun. 1t is common thing for sailors
to pull their own teeth. Their method
is to put string around tooth and
pull it; but dental forceps are carried
on deep-water ships; on some vessels
a fair outfit of them. A ship captain
OF long experience said that in the
course of his life at sea he had pulled
300 teeth.
The ships medicine chest on large
vessels is like closet or cupboard, with
a glass door, built in the ship. In this
chest the medicine bottles, gilt-labeled,
are arranged on shelves that rise one
above another in receding tiers; it is
practically well-appointed little drug
store. There is supplied with the medi-
cine chest book explaining the uses
OF the medicines. The captain is like
ly to have some other book on medical
subjects which he has read and studied,
and he is likely to have had good deal
Of experience before attaining the rank
OF master of a ship.
The sailors are generally healthy
men, but, when occasion requires, the
captain prescribes; he is the physician.
Limbs broken at sea are of course set
there, and there might be circum-
stances in which the captain would not
hesitate to perform a surgical opera
ton.
