the slope was q blockhouse from which the
spaniards were firing with apparently little

manches as they pressed up the hill on the run.
and Col. Roosevelt. forgetting In his ardor that
he was in command. snatched up q Krag-Jor-
Reneen and pumped shot after shot into the
b~lockhouse.
Tho Spanish FIRE was steady enough. but in
its sweep the charge OF the three troops was
cyclonic, and the Spaniards burst from the
Seventeen bodies were counted in and around
the house. Meanwhile the other troops, the
Tenth Cavalry and the First. the last OF which
was not heavily engaged. finished the rout OF
the Spaniards on the right and In front. The
battle seems to have been deliberately planned.
for they took their wounded away in wagons,
and there was a long line Of them. The Span
| ish loss in killed was then known to be at least
fifty. Some fruit plckers h came out from
Santiago the following day reported that the
Spaniards returned with the story that they
| had been fighting tho whole American army.
and they complained that the moro they fired
| on the Americans the faster they came on.
The spaniards were plainly heartbroken
| and dismayed by tho result of tho battle. So
| sure were they OF victory that they brought
some Of their women with them to witness the
defeat Of the Americans. The fact is the un-
f~altering advance Of our men after volleys had
been poured into them from the front and
tanks was an unpleasant surprise for the
Spaniards, who had always seen tho Cubans
retreat after one raking volley. BY Spanish
rules of war the Americans were whipped early
in the fight. and 80 badly whipped that their In
yincible yolleying and rushing were like the
resurrection Of a dead man.
About 1900 Americans were engaged; the
Spanish force was not less than 1880 and some
estimates have made 1t 1000. It's position
should havo been impregnable even II it had
been outnumbered. The opinion here Is that
the Spaniards will not risk another engage
ment his side Of the hills Just outside and
commanding Santiago. II Guasimas had been
fought between Spaniards and Cubans 1t would
have figured In the history Of the civil war as a
great battle. tho greatest battle. in fact, Of three
years Of fighting.
The rough riders camped on the battlefield
and buried oil their dead there. except Capt.
Capron. whose grave is on a bare slope over
looking the little bay at Siboney. He was
buried there at the wish Of his father. Capt,
Capron OF the artillery. who intends to have
the body removed to Key West as soon as
possible. The second burial will take place in
the family plot. Athletic. handsome. and
genial, Lieut.. Capron. who had left tho regular
army to serve in the rough riders, was one Of
the most popular of men. and his death has
sobered those Of his friends who thought
lightly of the work mapped out for the army.

where he was, moreover, ambassador
of the new German Empire His cour-
tesy and dignity have no doubt con-
tributed to lessen the friction between
the old enemies Of 1870. The present
good relations are mainly due, however,
to the Franco Russian alliance. How
could the lady leaning on the Cars

and yet insinuating relative and equal,

Substantial Justice.

A few lawyers were sitting in one of
the city restaurants few days ago eat
ing lunch, and discussing different SUBJ
jects when one of them told the follow
ing storg:
This occurred some years ago in the
office of former Justice of the Peace.
An attorney, who has since left Sioux
City, had been engaged to defend man
for the crime of petty larceny. The
lawyer knew that the case against his
client was pretty strong one and he
decided to beard the lion in his den. AS
he entered the room he told the Justice
of the case, the name of his client, and
added he did not think there was any
! evidence to convict. At the same time
he slipped a $50 gold piece in the hand
of the Justice, and gave him a knowing
wink. The court said nothing, but, pull
ing open the cash drawer, slipped the
money in. The case went to trial, and
after the evidence had all been intro
duced there appeared 10 be no question
of the guilt of the defendant. But his
counsel was confident. thinking the gold
piece had done the work. The court then
summed up the case, and, to the as
tOnishment of the defendants counsel
said:
The court finds the defendant guilty
as charged in the information and fines
him 500, of which amount $40 has been
paid. The defendant will be committed
to the County Jail until the remainder is
paid in 10 this court"
Nothing more was said. and the JUS
tice settled back in his chair. satisfied
that the laws of the State had been up
held and dishonest attorney had been
left in the lurch.-Sioux City Journal

public alike Even Cole, against whom

readily acknowledged his Indebtedness

he specially attacked Cole, he replied
that Cole was the only one of the new

During the last fifteen years of his life
Linton did no engraving, mainly occu-
plying his time with writing. Among his
numerous books is History of Wood

New YORK Times: American artists
would, for the most part, be highly
pleased to show their work side by side
with that of their fellow craftsmen from
across the water. AS it is, the middle
men stands up between, casting a shad-
ow over native production, while ex-
hibiting his outlandish wares in the
most favorable light. CThe middleman
comes from beyond the seas, too, oddly
enough; transports himself, as it were
before importing the other foreigners.)
Nobody quarrels with the merchant for
showing his goods to the best advan-
tage; still, the American would like
from time to time, to hang his pictures
up against those of the other chaps.
When he does so in the Paris salons,
he is very apt to make mart. On his
own ground, with all the conditions re-
versed, fancy he would come out rather
strong.
Granted, then, that New York is the
principal market for works Of art is
not it a logical sequence that Gf we are
not sandblind to our own interests) the
great showhouse must arise here too?
If we Americans buy such miles of pic
lures and tons of statues, why should
not we oblige the manufacturers Of
these luxuries to show us their wares all
together in open market where we can
compare them with each other and with
the home productions? Think of the
temptation to undervalue pictures in
order to escape heavy duties if the sub
sequent sales are made in private; but
how is the differentiation to be worked
If the pictures are offered in a public
exhibition? For such a shrewd and can
ny people we have not acted with our
accustomed business sense in this
matter of the arts. We have paid some
quite two awful percentages to the mid
dlemen in our dealings with-or should
