Thief Not Arrested.

Yesterday the wife of q we'll known
citizen living in the northern part of
town went to church on Myrtle avenue.
She tied her horse in the shade across
the street. During her absence some
one took the horse and phaeton and
drove of.
The officers were at once notife1s
and the chief of police among the res |,
but 60 far as they were concerned toe
morse was not located. The stable
where the horse is kept was also mo-
tilted. and the proprietor sent out one
Of the stable boys to look for the horse
md vehicle: he returned, saying that
he could not find it.
About 2:30 o'clock q man who lives
down the county road telephoned d the
.table askiug if they had lost q horse,
as q drunken Mexican and q boy had
been seen with fine looking rig which
he thought they had got in some way
other than hireing it. The stable
people told him to hold the horse aud
rig until tbev could send boy after it,
which they did.
The police were notified that it had
been recovered by a private citizen
and that drunken Mexican had taken
it, but the man WAS not arrested.

ARMY ADVANCING.
The CubanS Are in the Lead.

SABoNY, Near Santiago de Cuba,
via Kingston, Jamaica. June 27.-Un-
less there be a sudden change of plans,
the 'entire American army in Cuba
marching on Santiago will be almost
within hailing distance of that city by
the time your readers get this dis
patch.
Some of the troops advancing today
started at q. m. The advance guard
of the Americans is encamped within
four miles of Santiago, the Seventh re-
Riment of infantry from Fort Logan,
Colorado, leading.
The entire first brigade under Gen.
Wheeler and Gen. Strong is encamped
within two miles of the Seventh regu-
lars. Roosevelt's rough riders are en-
camped where they pitched camp on
Friday.
The Cuban troops are mile ahead
of the Americans, and are encamped
only mile and half from the Span
ish outpost on the San Luis hills, just
outside Santiago. Shots are ex-
changed now and then, but the range
is too great.

"The Man Who Forgot His Pipe"

An Interesting runaway occurred at
an early hour yesterday morning. Two
men of Ell Pas0 had q prospect hole out
about thirty miles from the city, and
secured the services of an expert to go
out and look at it with them to find out
what there WAS in it.
One of the men is an inveterate pipe
feDd, and when the team and ambu-
lance we're delivered;to these three men
early yesterday morning, all the ne
cessary provisions stored in it and
every thing ready to 60, the fend said
to the expert, 81 have forgotten my
pipe"
"Well," said the other, "You would
better go and get it If it will cause you
80 much worry So at this the fend
got in and drove to his
place of business for that long loved
article. When he returned
he got out of the wagon
to 60 in the house and left the team
united. On coming to the door he
saw the team going toward the stable
a. block off. He put out after
them, hat in the air, pipe
in mouth. The team was
stopped kindly by an object fsmiliarly
known as q telephone post. Now, no
team, no wagon, no harness. no crav-
at, no hat, gray hair on ends, but that
pipe still survives the shock.

For Feather Weight Championship

New YORK, June 27.-No recent bout
brought off in this vicinity has attract
ed so much attention in the pugilistic
world as centers in the twenty-five
round contest between George Dixon
and Ben Jordan for the feather weight
championship of the world. The
match will be pulled off this evening
in the arena of the Lenox Athletic
club. Jordan is regarded as the most
formidable opponent Dixon has been
allied upon to meet for some time.
Last November, before the National
Sporting club of London, he experien-
ced little difficulty in defeating Tommy
White, and as the latter fought q
twenty-round draw with Dixon, it
would appear, according to the records,
that the Britisher has fair show of
taking the feather weight champion
ship back to England with him. Dixon
understands the hard game he is going
against and has been training indus
triously at Newdorp. The men will
weigh in at 122 pounds.

CORK TOO SMALL.
Ships Can 60 Around the Merrimac

SmpS SdH W nIOunu TIC mSTTlNdCs
OFF SANTIAGO, Via Kingston, Ja-
maica, June 27.-The dynamite cruiser
Vesuvius made a daring trip into the
mouth of Santiago harbor a few nights
ago, to ascertain definitely whether or
not the collier Merrimac, which was
sunk by Hobson and his volunteer
crew, entirely blocks the channel.
It is reported at the fleet that the
Vesuvius sailed completely around the
wrecked collier, as she found open
water at both ends of the wreck. The
Merrimac, it appears, was taken some
VIII 1T too far into the hsrbor before be-
ing sunk. Two battleships, it is said,
can enter the harbor abreast, one pass
ing to the right and the other to the
left of the wreck.

There has been more or less talk of
such q movement. but it was not ex-

It is to draw back Camara's fleet,

thought will quickly bring the Span

The Temps pays handsome tribute

which the landing of the Americans
was planned and carried out. The pa

prolong resistance, which is doomed to
