THE Kentucky Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs, in session at Louisville, de-
clared the right of women to use their
own names, as for example: "Mrs.
Mary Smith," and not Mrs. John
Smith," If a woman does not think
enough of her husband to wear his
name, she ought to get an absolute di-
vorce from the old codger and kick
him out into the cold world. The next
move by these women organizations
will doubtless be their determination
to wear jeans breechcs, chew tobacco

The war situation has not changed
very much, though several important
matters have taken place since last is
sue of THE RECORD. As stated in our
last. the Spanish fleet under Cervera
was bottled up at Santiago de Cuba.
Growing tired of waiting for the Dons
to come out and fight, the American
fleet sent a large vessel loaded with
coal into the mouth of the harbor and
sank it. As the channel at that point
is very narrow, the sinking of the
boat will completely pen" the Dons,
as there is no other way of escape. A
crew of six American sailors, under
Lieut. Hobson, took the boat into the
harbor, and, while the Spanish bate
ries were showering shot and shell
upon them, set off a shell which sank
the craft. Being unable to come out
through the terrific shower of shells
the Americans rowed to the Spanish
flagship and surrendered to Cervera.
Being SO impressed by their bravery,
he taid they should be treated kindly
and Immediately exchanged for Span
ish prisoners. Monday night the Span
ism torpedo-boat. Terror, tried to slip
by our ships and enter the harbor to
Join Cervera, when discovered by look
outs on the Texas. A few minutes la
ter the torpedo-boat sunk, rildled by
the hail of shots hurled upon it. The
Terror was one of Spain's best boats,
and her destruction is great loss to
Spain.
Santiago was bonn barded Monday.

Notan American ship was injured, no,

The Philippine insurgents with the
aid of the supplies which Admiral
Dewey permitted them to take from
Cavite arsenal, have administered a
crushing blow to the Spanish forces
in series of engagements, practically
shutting them up in Manila.
The landing of troops in Cuba has
been going steadily on, and, from all
indications, the United States is abou,

she will IN ike hot haste to end the
