PRAISE FOR HIS MEN.

Commander Dewey Has Only Good Words
for the Men Who Fought Under Him.
Washington, June 14.-The navy de-
partment has made public the first let
ter received from Admiral Dewey since
he arrived at Manila. In the letter he
gives full description of the battle,
full particulars of which are already
familiar to most every reader, and
speaking of the conduct of the men
says:
IL beg to state to the department
that doubt if any commander-in-chi
was ever served by more loyal, efficient
and gallant captains than those ct the
squadron now under my command.
Captain Frank Wildes, commanding
the Boston, volunteered to remain in
command of his vessel, although his
relief arrived before leaving Hong
kong. Assistant Surgeon Kindleber-
ger of the Olympia, and Gunner Evans
of the Boston also volunteered to re-
main after orders detaching them had
arrived.
1.-The conduct of my personal staff was
excellent. Commander r. z. Lam
berton, chief of staff, was volunteer
Tor that position, and gave me most |
efficient aid. Lieutenant Brumhy, flag |
lieutenant, and Ensign w. Z. Scott,
tide, performed their duties as signal
,fficers in highly creditable manner

OUR FLAG FLOATS IN CUBA.
The Stars and Stripes Raised at
Guantanamo.
spaniards Drawn From Entertainments
by GunbOats and Six Hundred
Marines Landed with
out Opposition.

Washington, June 13.-Oficial ad.
vices have been received from Admiral
Sampson that the United States flag
floats over Cuba. Six hundred marines
have pitched their tents about the
smoking ruins of the outer for5ifica-
tions of Guantanamo, and the stars and
stripes for the first time float on
Spanish flagstaff in Cuba.
To Captain Clark and the battleship
Oregon belong the honor of making the
first successful landing of the war The
forty marines from the battleship went
ashore and occupied the left entrance
to the bay until the Panther arrived
with 600 marines. These, under the
command of Lieutenant Colonel E. w.
Huntington, arrived at o'clock, and
within half an hour they had burned
the buildings of the Spanish camp and
had set fire to the miserable little vii
lage which, crouched on the beach I'M
der the hilltop of Guantanamo.
The whole operation of silencing the
guns and landing the forces was as
easy as placing Sunday school picnic.
The Marblehead, backed by the Vixen
and Dolphin, opened on the earth
works. The shores to the right of the
entrance were lined with guns and
rifle pits, but the Spaniards stampeded
after firing few shots. The city of
Guantanamo lies four miles up the bay,
and little Spanish gunboat came down
to help the shore batteries; but she
stayed just long enough to turn around.
Numerous shots were fired by the |
Spaniards, but not one landed and no |
Americans were injured.
Guantanamo is about forty miles east
of Santiago de Cuba, and is a splendid
location for base of supplies for the
fleet

the Blockade.
London, June 13.-General Blanco,
having again telegraphed that in case
the blockade becomes stricter it will
be urgent to send war stores, as his
supply is running short, the govern
ment has taken steps to distribute
abundant supplies by vessels from
Spanish and foreign ports. The more
important supplies for Spain will be
strongly conveyed and sent immed-
lately.
General Blanco also telegraphs that
the authorities at Santiago de Cuba
claim to have repealed the American
attempt to land in the inner and outer
bays of Guantanamo, the Spanish for
ces being intrenched in positions com
handing the best landing places be-
tween Santiago and Guantanamo.

Utah Batteries Leave.

San Francisco, June 13.-Utah's bat.
terry boys are ready to sail for the
Philippines The field guns, ammuni-
ton and camp equipments of the Utah
batteries are on board the Zealandia,
the last of their supplies are loaded on
the China and Colon, and the Senator
is being coaled from both sides. The
Morgan City may have to go on the
dry dock In that event she will not
go out with the Zealandia, Senator,
China and Colon, but will be added to
the fleet composed of the Ohio, Indiana,
City of Para and City of Pueblo. The
China, Colon and Zealandia will receive
their quota of ammunition and with
the Senator will sail on Wednesday.

horses shall be taken with the present

ARE HAVING HOT WORK.
But Colonel Huntington's Plucky Marines
Keep Old Glory Flying.

Keep Old Glory Flying.
Washington, June 15.-The American
flag still floats over Cuban soil on the
encampment of the marine battalion
and our boys say they will keep it
there until the belated troops arrive,
if it takes until winter.
Thus far the marines have had the
best of the fighting, but the situation
is grave, and they are exhausted with
repelling almost incessant attacks.
They have little chance to rest or
sleep and the time of the arrival of the
relieving troops is uncertain.
We're it not for the guns of the fleet,
the gallant little band would be ami
hilated by the Spanish troops in over
towering numbers from Santiago de
Cuba. AS it is, they probably can hold
their position, but they cannot move
forward until reinforcements come.
The spot is lamentably exposed,
while surrounding it on all sides is
heavy brush. The least movement in
the camp is the signal for instant tar
get practice upon the part of the Span
ish sharp-shooters, whose rifles carry
much farther than ours, though their
owners rarely hit anything they aim
at.
1t is impossible to accurately esti-
mate the Spanish attacking force, but
it is numerous enough. About two
thirds of this force surrounds the camp
nightly with a deadly ring, and the
spatting of the Mausers make things
lively, for the Spaniards are daring
enough to crawl up and take a pop
shot at the marines from the bushes
about 30 yards from the camp.
AT night the besiegers fight like In
dians and our old Apache fighters will
feel in their element. Every yard of
chapparal is an ambuscade, and picket
duty is Tipping coins with death.
After the first attack on Saturday
night, Colonel Huntington, who is in
charge of the marines, who are hold
ing this position decided that another
attempt would be made on Sunday
night, and he caused entrenchments to
be thrown up on all sides of the camp,
and in the trenches the main part of
the battalion last night waited for
the attack that the colonel was certain
would come. 1t arrived within a short
time after dark and from that time I'M
til daybreak the firing was incessant,
and at times very heavy.
On the American side two men were
killed and four wounded, the dead be-
ng Sergeant Henry Goode and Private
rouman. The Spaniards have lost
heavily
The fight was the first of the war in
which the Cubans co-operated with the
American forces, and their co-opera-
ion was not glittering success. At
me time during the afternoon when
he marines were firing on a small de-
achment of Spaniards that made their
short distance from the
amp, the Cubans began firing with
ut orders and sent volley right
mong the Americans. There were
everal narrow escapes but no one was
1hr red.
The men freely criticise the policy

lintest disposition is manifested to do
therwise than fight it out.

CAROLINA MURDER TRIALS.
Prophet Who Has Prophesied strange

WTT.KESBORO. " c.. March 2.-Spe-
ciai.-There were two murder trials at
the session of wilkes county court last
week. The first was that Of william
Morgan for killing John Waters during
= Gbristmas revel of 1897. He was found
guilty of murder In the second degree
and sentenced TO fifteen years imprison"
ment.
The evidence made the deed very
black one and there is yet much tax or
a Ivnching This talk is principally by
tho half-crazed father of the defendant,
who Is. by the way a strange character
lie is credited with predicting the civil
war several years before n came ana
with having located the first battle at
Bull Run, long before II was fought.
He is now and has been for twelve
months, predicting a fearful struggle pc
tween the United States and Spain ana
has written repeatedly to the President
and Governor. advising an immediate
mobilization OF troops, the ordering or
musters appointment Of commanders. and
other preparations.
His wild prophecies are credited by
some of the Over-credulous.
with this exception the war spirit In
this part Of Carolina is not very hot.
The other man Elsty Absher charged
with the murder Of his sOn-in-laW Rich-
