WASHINGTON, July 1.-(SpeciaI.)- y
There was little discussed here today
save the big battle at Santiago. Gov
ernment officials were sanguine of vic
tory for the American arms from the
time the first announcement that q
hight was on retched the war depart
ment this morning. Secretary Alger
was naturally given the first chance to
peruse the telegram, after which it
was handed to Gen. Corbin, who pro-
ceeded to the White house to place the
important news before the president
Everybody had been looking for just
such telegram, and the officials Of
the war department We're quickly be-
sieged on all sides for details, but there
were none to give save that the long
expected assault on Santiago was ac-
tually on.
OFFICIAL OPINIONS.
Secretary of War Alger and Gen.
Miles talked freely about the battle,
and each expressed the belief that the
Americans could not lose Secretary
Alger was pleased that the forces un-
der Gen. Shafter had had ample time
In which to prepare for the decisive
struggle. He said that the attacking
army was well concentrated, and that
he had advices from Gen. Shafter that
assured him that the American forces
were on the aggressive, and that moth
Ing save the unlocked for could check
their victorious advance upon Santi-
ago. Gen Miles was equally confident
that the forces under Gen. Shafter
WOll16 vii
the Spaniards.
BROOKE TO PORTO RICO.
1t is now pretty well understood that
Gen. Brooke will lead the expedition
to Porto Rico, and that he will be made
military governor Of that island after
its capture by the American forces.
Gen. Brooke has at his command
about 10000 men. 1t is said that the
forces under Gen. Brooke may go first
to Santiago, there to remain until Gen.
Shafter has accomplished the object Of
his campaign. Is Is regarded as all
important that there be no setback in
Cuba, for the Porto Rican campaign
can easily be deferred. The troops Of
Gen. Brooke's command will, therefore,
1t Is thought here, go from Tampa di-
rect to Santiago, and thence to Porto
Rico.
SPLENDID FACILITIES.
Government officials are greatly elat-
ed because of the teIegraphic facilities
that have been afforded by the dill
gence of that branch Of the military
service. Washington is practically IN
direct communication with the army
in the field, and the advantages are
great. 1t is hinted here today that the
government is in possession of more
definite news than has been given out
and 1t Is taken as an indication that
the news at hand Is good news, else a
hint would have escaped. Again, every
one at the war department today was
in the best of spirits, which Is consid-
cred to augur well for the American
cause.

THE SENIOR SCIENCE CLUB"
Some Notes and Remarks on a
 Fortnight's Work.

When those who have but tasted the Iife-giv.ug liquid of the Plerian Spring begin to realize that there is life, health and happiness in its waters, 'tis no wonder that the thought in Pope's lines
 Shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, And drinking largely sober us again" Should impress, and cause an organ izatlon to be effected with the above as nane and this poetic truth as a motto.
 Is our name an appropriate one? Is not life, the knowledge of whose laws may be used for the healing of the nations, an exact science?
 It is well for us to think that sue cess iu our vacations is a science, a sccucture with many kinds of foun- dations, some stable, some weak and insecure; we may strengthen some, replace others.
 Today" says Geo, Lorimer, success has it's literature, it's jour- nals, its teachers, but because they preach clear simple gospel, the mass of men will not believe, There is short cut to wealth, an airline to fame, they cry, show that to usl aod when the opponents of the new science shake their heads, still less will they believe.
 Ours is a study of the old science coupled with all that is new; the science ot man and nature.
 The Chinese have had agolden rule" in their system of ethics neat iy 5000 years, and had remarkably correct instruments with which they calculated eclipses Of sun and moon 1000 years ago, yet they left the great problems for men of the 18th and 20th centuries.

ENTER THORNTON POST OFFICE BAND RELIEVE
 SAFE OF CONTENTS.
S2O0 REWARD OFFERED.
With the Aid of Eitro-Glycerioe They Succeed in Blowing the
 Safe Door to Atoms.

About midnighJ SatdaY couple of bold and doubtless practical safe blowers forced an entrance into the postoffice building at Thornton, 45 miles south Of this city on the Cot ton Belt road and afterwards were successful in getting away with about $300 or $400 in cash and as much in checks, stamps, etc.
 The first news Of the flair reached this city As mornlag, when Chief of Police Craig received a telephone message from Postofice Inspector Hall, of Little Rock, stating that he would seud full particuars with a description of the robbers later, but be should in the meantime keep a strict look out for suspicious char- Acters. Whether the men were a hise or colored is unknown, as on iy oae peeson, a widow, who resides neal by, saw them make their exit from the building after the robbery,
 s she happened tC be in the rear yard of her residence.
 The robbers are doubtless profes- sionals in their line, as they went at their work in 8 smooth maaner. A After manufacturing d small funnel of mud, it vas inserted between the small cracks of the safe door. Then nitro glycerine was poured into the funnel and as is natural, being a siimy fluid, 1t slid down into the safe. A match and string was then used and the door blown from It's fasten- ings. The money which amounted to about $500 or S4OO in cash and about the same amount in checks. stamps, etc, was secured. Among the checks was one for $16 made out by the Little Bay Lumber Co.,. oi Little Bay, Ark.
