1T Is unfortunate that there is friction
between the friends of Sampson and
Schley. Admiral Sampson is to blame
for this himself in not having given
credit TO Schley in his first dispatch
announcing the destruction OF Ceryera' s
fleet. 1t WAS not SIMPSONS fault but his
misfortune that he WAS not IN position
to direct matters wheE Cervera made his
dash. 1t Is apparent to anyone that
without an admiral at all to direct the
movements of the fleet, Cervera wonid
have met the same fate. The United
States feet had pent mp energy and a
settled purpose which nothing could
Withstand.
1t must be said that Schley has shown
the more Intelligent activity of the two
He did not have the most implicit con
fidence in the navy department and
sought to escape its direction In running
down Cervera's fleet. He proposed TAX
ing the same desperate chances Dewey
did, If like Dewey ne could have acted in
dependently OF the department. 1t is
we'll known that he tried to keep out OF
communication with the navy depart
ment and particularly dlsObeyea orders
In entering Cienfnegos harbOr in search
OF Cerver8. 1t is quite certain That bnt
for The restraining orders OF the depart
ment he would have forced the h8rbOr OF
Santiago before the arrival of Sampson.
Captain Sigshee had orders which would
keep HIM from being the medium of com
munIcation between Schley and the de-
partment. These orders were counter
manded by the secretary of the navy and
Schley lost the opportunity of giving
battle to Cervera within the harbor. Ii
is perhaps wise he did, as the result he
sought has been accomplished without
loss. But it shows the mans purpose
and his earnestness.
The successes of this war thus far are
due to the men who have been IN action.
1t is the fighting quality not the general
ship that Is telling.

IHE accounts given of the Rough Rid
ers IN their first fight near Santiago show
a daring almost inconceivabIe and a play
OF splrlts which was remarkable under
the circumstances. College jokes were
common and there was not wanting ad-
mirauon for the spirit showed by indIvi-
dual Spaniards. One Spaniard stood ont
IN the open, within easy range. and fired
rapidly at the rough riders One of the
men pulled up his gun to shoot the Span
iard when companion said "oh, let him
alone. There are few like him IN that
bunch on the other side Give him a
show tor his taw alley" When the firing
was the hottest they joined in singing.
A young assistant surgeon had advanced
beyond the lines to dress a comrades
wounds and remained with him until a
litter was brought. A college chum
hailed the surgeon and got the reply.
Why. Won whelp how dare you be around
here and not be killed"

REBUILDING
SALE

will commence on July 18th and continue until
August 18th. Owing to the large increase of our
business we are obliged to remodel our entire
store in order to make room for our different de-
Iartmcnts. Every one knows that it is hard work
to remodel with such an enormous stock which
we have on hand i'm the different departments.
We name out below the following lines that we
must reduce i'm order to undertake this kind of
work. Mems Clothing. Children's Clothing.
Gents Furnishings, Hats, Glassware. Crockcry
and Stoves.
These goods are easily damaged by paint and
dust. Glassware and Crokery is easily broken
iii moving and stoves are too bulky and unless we
reduce our line, it would compel us to rent a stor-
age building to store same therein. Everybody
knows that in storing these goods there is quite a
little expense connected with same. But rather
than do this we decide to reduce our lines and at
suchdisc0lnts that will be satisfactory to everyone
we have the following stoves Oh hand:
Steel Ranges,
Cast Ranges,
Cook Stoves.
Heating Stoves
Heating stoves would not be the thing to bl,y now
but in this case it would more than pay you to buy
them. We hope everybody will take advantage
of this rare opportunity.
Remember this commences July 18th and lasts
only until August 9Th then we will commence
rebuilding.
