RAINY SEASON COMMENCING.

Lieutenant Rowan says the dreaded
rainy season is commencing. II is
already raining in the mountains.
Additional details of Lieutenant Row
ans visit to General Garcia were given
by Lieutenant Col. Carlos Hernandez
and General Enrique Co laso, both of
whom accompanied the intrepid Ameri-
can officer from The interior of Cuba to
the s5ac 0ast AMI who shared with him
tie dangers of the four days journey
in an open boat from the coast to
Nassau, Jamaica
Lieutenant Rowan has seen more OF
The island of Cuba in a shorl er time
and endured more hardships than any
other Amer cen, Sad Colonel Herman
DEE. "From wher, Lie Ltenalt Rowan
landed, on April 20 last, near Port
Portillo, on the south coast of santiago
de Cuba, to where he left the north
coast, is across the wild BIT part OF the
island. With guard Of only four
men, he pushed through part OF the
way on foot, and through one Of the
widest parts of the island. With
hardly stop for rest, he reached
Bayamo on May L, where he met Gen
eral Garcia.
olive hours afterwards, we started
for the north coast. Lieutenant Row
an did not stop for an instant until his
mission was accomplished, exhausted
though he was. For four days and
nights we hardly left our saddles. 1t is
ride [ do not think Lieutenant Row
an will ever forget, but like the soldier
that lie is, he never complained.
"When we finally reached the coast
near Port Manti, on Nay 5, the only
boat procurable was a little DRY,
hardly more than sixteen feet long, yet
our orders permitted no delay, and six
of us embarked on this little cookie
shell. We were picked up by sponger
and eached Nassau early on May s.

Miss Kidd, of Clifton Forge, is visit

One day last week young Sidney
Fainter, of Natural Bridge, in attempt-
ing to cross the river at this place, his
boat became manageable and went
over the falls in front Of Mr.. A. Mitch
ellis pace and came near upsetting, but
fortunately the boat kept straight and
ran the rapids safely. Mr.. Lewis Kidd
went to lis assistance and brought
MIN safe to shore as Mr.. Painters oar
had brogen there was danger OF drift
ing over the rapids at the "tank, F."
which are more dangerous than the
ones at Mr.. Mitchell's.
During the recent rain the river rose
about eight or nine feet and con-
sequently the ford across Cedar Creek
at this point was not passable. That
bridge would have been a gieat accom-
mediation then.

the biggest 4th of July celebration We
have ever had.
There is no mourning for American
dead mixed with the rejoicing ovel
Admiral Dewey's great victory. There
was no American dead.
Jerry Simpson expresses the Zeal
that this country is marching towards
Imperialism, and that the war with
Spain will result in increasing the
pace.
We take it that Col, Wood, of the
regiment of rough riders, is not OF a
Jealous disposition, or he would not
have accepted "Teddy" Roosevelt for
his lieutenant colonel.
The men who have enlisted in our
volunteer army did so because they
wish to fight the Spaniards; therefore
the administration cannot get them to
Cuba too soon.
We trust that the reported intention
of the administration to send enough
men to Cuba at once TO sweep the
Spanish off the island will be support
ed by facts That's the way the
people wish the war fought.
Itseems that the only way in which
the Spapiards can destroy an Ameri-
can vessel is to have her anchored in
one of their harbors and blow her up
Dewey laughed at their mines in
Manila harbor; as they were exploded
in front of his ship.
The Republ cans are relying solely
upon the war. which was virtually fore
ed upon them by the Democrats, to
enable them to elect majority Of the
next House. It ren MS to be ascer-
tanned how the intelligent voters will
respond to such an attempt to bam-
boozle them.
We can we'll believe that for once a |
Spaniard told the truth when a men,
Der of the Ministry said that Spain had |
not believed that the y. s. would go
to war, until the ultimatum was ac-
tually seat. Spain has been acting on
that belief Tor some years, but neither
it nor any other country, is likely to do
so again for some time
Short as the battle of Manila was
there was q characteristic bit of Span
ish treachery. A Spanish vessel struck
her flag In token of surrender, and
when approached by a boarding party
from one of our ships, poured a volley
into our little boat. The little boat
escaped, but the treacherous Spanish
ship was sent to the bottom with all
