pelled to accept the nomination for
sheriff of La Crosse county on the Dem

his name on the official ticket.
Case Taken Into Court.
Democratic County Chairman Ma.

place Kircheis' name on the ticket and

at good rate of speed when it was
struck by a train following on the same
track 1t was a rear-end collision. The
train finally reached its destination at
Fort Mcpherson, Ga, and debarked the
wounded at ! o'clock.
The 200 troops on the train were
wounded in the battle before San

brought 800 TO Key West and
the Cherokee returned about 800. One
hundred of the worst cases on the Chero-
kee were debarked at Key West for
treatment in the hospital at that place.

Public.


The Navy Department yesterday re-

report on the operations of his feet for
several weeks past. It was not given to
the public.
The statement at first was made yester-

this report contains full account of the
capture and destruction of Cervera's
squadron. Later this was denied by an
officer of the Navigation Bureau.
The later version of the story as TO the
report is that ii contains nothing later
than July and that probably the account
OF the destruction of Cervera had not been
writteR when the package was made up.
II is stated that the report contains sew
eral thousand words, largely kilograms
and written messages between Sampson
and the ships OF his fleet and between the
Department and the fleet. 1t is not be-
lieved that any large part of it will be
made public.
The report was sent by Commodore
Sampson on the st. Louis in charge
of Acting Ensign r. s. Palmer. who
placed in Secretary Longs hands yester-
day, having come to Washington from
