IT is a matter of notice that in the
public demand for rewards of the feats
of conspicuous bravery, all concerned,
even those in humble or obscure posi-
tions, are equally suggested for special
honors. This is only right, but it is in
dicative Of the true spirit of our insti-
tutions that every man should have an
equal chance, and that the humble he
roes should receive the same need OF
notice and praise as the heroes of prom
inence and rank, for it is the same
spirit actuating all.

A press dispatch says: The steam
ship Mascotte arrived at Tampa tonight
with a number of those wounded at the
battle of Santiago. Among them was
Captain j, B. Kerr, second squad, sixth
cavalry. His left arm is IN a sling, as a
Santiago memento
He tells graphic story of the bravery
of the American soldiers who forced the
Spanish trenches in the face of scath-
Ing fire. He gave the loss of officers as
40 per cent. of the total, and stated that
whenever a man exposed himself wear
ing shoulder straps he was shot down by
the Spanish sharpshooters at a mile and
half as though he were but that many
rods.
The negro troops who went over there
are said to have fought like demons,
and, being in front, were cut down as if
moving maching Lad been run through
their ranks.
The use of the Springfield rifles by the
volunteers with the common powder was
the cause of SO much American loss, as
1t constantly betrayed their position co
!, the enemy The volunteer and artillery
ere attracted shower of lead, which ap-
parentlY came from a clear sky, as the
Spaniards fought from behind deep
trenches and used smokeless powder.
Their well.directed volleys were remark
ably effective, covering the field with
dead End wounded. The forts were well
protected and strongly fortified.
Captain Kerr estimates the loss at
1900 on each side. He anticipates the
capture OF the city by General Shafter

but thinks it will be somewhat delayed
Captain Kerr leaves tonight for St.

WAR TO GO ON In A WHIRL.
Watson to Hurry to Spain With war ships.
To Pursue Camara

WASHINGTON, July T. The president
called council of war today to meet at
the White House, the purpose being to
review the situation and learn exactly
what he present conditions are and
what changes, If any, should be made in
the plans for the future conduct of the
war.
According to one of the members pres
ent it was decided to abide by the plans
already laid, at least as to the general
] conduct Of the campaign.
Confirmation seems to have been riven
to this statement later in the day. when.
after conference with members of the
war board, Secretary Long announced t.
the waiting newspaper men that he had
ordered Admiral Sampson to detach
from his own command Immediately the
vessels to be embraced in Commodore
Watson's eastern squadron ana to direct
the commodore to proceed on his mis-
sion.
The vessels of the squadron will not
be the same as those originally selected.
TOR the reason that the recent
engagement with Admiral Cervera's
squadron necessitated some changes.
The new Eastern squadron will consist
OF the battleships Iowa and Oregon. the
protected cruiser Newark and the aux
iliary cruisers carrying side armon
Dixie, Yankee and Yosemite. the golfers
Avarenda, Cassisus, Caesar. Leonfdas
and Justin, and the supply boat Del
monico.
The ships are to sail as soon as thew
can coal and supply. They will not be
required in he case of the southern yes
sells to come north, which would mean
the loss of several days, but will start di
rectly from the points where they are
now located. The order provides that
each ship shall make her way across the
Atlantic to marine rendezvous. which
will be designated in sealed orders to
prevent it's exposure to the slightest DOS
sible danger from the enemy. and the
most that is known is that it will be at
some point off the Spanish coast. 1t
probably will not be long after that be-
fore the American squadron will be IN
full pursuit of Admiral Camara with his
remnant of the Spanish navy.
