Two of the renominated congressman
from New England have declared strong
ly against the expansion policy-Mr.
Henry of Connecticut, and Mr.. Mccall of
Massachusetts The latter IN his speech
accepting denomination gave his rea.
sons at considerable length One point
that be made ought to make an impress
sion on the people who year or two Ago
were such zealous supporters of the Mon
roe doctrine, that they wanted to go to
war with England to vindicate it's appli-
cation to strip of land in dispute be.
tween her and Venezuela. Most Of those
zeaIots are now the feroest advocates of
the permanent annexation of the Philip
pines, but Congressman Mccall points
out that with annexation consummated
the Monroe doctrine would be extin-
guished forever. What consistency and
Justice oeuld there be, says ne, ''in our

The arrest of Senator Quay on charge
of conspiracy to misuse State funds has
the appearance very much of political
scheme. sprung at this time in the hope
that it may help defeat his candidate fol
governor The affair upon which the
charge against him is based occurred a
long while ago, AMI il there had been any
good evidence that implicated him the
probability is that it would have come to

FAKE" stories of suffering and priva-
tion in the late war have been plenty
enough, but they have generally had some
little foundation. But one Sergeant"
Bc3ns hiss been imposing upon his friends,
and through them upon the Springfield
Republican, q lurid tale that appears to
have been pure fabrication. Boone
claimed to have gone up in balloon b.
fore Santiago SO near the Spanish lines
that it was shot to pieces by Spanish
rifles In the fall that resulted Boone
claimed that he was thrown out and
caught in the abdomen by the anchor of
the balloon, suspended q moment, and
then dropped into a creek with water up
to his she. ers. As result of this ex-
peFience he claims une kidney
moved out of place, and other serious in
juries. But Capt. Butler of the Maina
Signal Corps. says he knows for fact
that Boone was mover caught in the an.
chor of balloon in the abdomen or any
where else, that he never fell out of q
balloon, and that he was never in the
balloon basket, not even when it was on
he ground. All that Boone ever had to
do with the balloon was to hold one of
the guy ropes that held it is captivity.
Boone is probably working up pension
claim.

COUNCIL MEETING.

The East side city council met in
called meeting of the Mayor this
morning at II o'clock, with his
honor Mayor Mullins in the chair,
and all of the aldermen present
except Huckins, who is out of the

Again we take occasion to say
that Texarkana has as fine a body
of city officers as ever graced the
council chamber in any city in any
countrv-gentIemen who are good
business men, and who not only have
no axes to grind, but feel the inter
est of the city at heart as they
should, All this was aptly illus
trated in this mornings meeting.
1t was decided that IN making
concrete sidewalks, grades should
be made to conform to street and
business houses already erected
upon Broad street, and time is to
be extended in which work is to
begin until the 10Th of July.

BOUND To SURRENDER.
The United States Troops have
Nothing to Fear Now.
ONLY A MATTER OF TINE.
-
Non -Combatants Have Left Santiago
and the Town will be Storm
ed Today and Taken,
ONLY A MATTER OF TINE.

Major General Shafter sent under
a flag of truce a demand on the
forces of Santiago to surrender or
he would begin the bombardment
of the city.
The Spanish general made the
reply that he would not surrender
and had informed the foreign resi-
dents and non-combatants to leave
at once.
The British and several other
foreign representatives have asked
for a postponement of few hours
in which to remove their people
from the city and General Shatter
has generously complied with their
request.
The road leading to the town Of
Caney was soon filled with pro
miscuous crowd of humanity fleeing
from what they knew would come
unless the Spaniards surrendered,
and they all passed through our
lines without being molested in the
least.
If the Spaniards do not surrender
it will be only short work to storm
the city from both land and sea, as

wharf, it having gone into the har-
Dor within two hours after the de-

urinary passages. 1t corrects ina
bility to hold urine and scalding
pain in passing it, or bad effects fol-
lowing use Of liquors, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant nee
essity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures OF the most dis.
tressing cases. II yon need medi-
