Washineton Jnly S. President Nc
Kinaey 1t II: 40 tonight issued the fol-
lowing proclamation to the American
people:
TO the People OF the United States Of
America:
AT this time, when to the yet fresh
remembrance of the unprecedented sue
css which attended the operations Of
the United States fleet in the bay of
Manila on the first day Of May last.
are added the tidings of the no less
glorious achievements of the naval and
military arms Of our beloved country
Off the Santiago de Cuba, it is fitting
that we should pause, and, staying the
1eellng OF exultaoion that too naturally
attends great deeds wrought by our
countrymen in our country's cause
should reverently bow before the throne
OF divine grace and give devout praise
70 Gcd, who holdeth the nations in the
hollow CT his hands and worketh upon
them the marvels of His high will, and
who has thus far vouchsafed to us the
light of His face and led our brave SOL
dlerS and seamen to victory.
L therefore ask the people of the
United States upon next assembling for
divine worship in their. respective places
OF meeting, to offer thanksgiving to
Almighty God, who, in His inscrutable
1po6ipo hN-hos ~
waters to unscathed triumph, now
guiding them in a strange land through
the dread shadows of death to success,
even though at fearful cost, now bear
ing them without acciden,t or loss 10
far distant climes, has watched over
our cause and brought nearer the sue
cess CT the right and the attainment Of
just and honorable peace.
With the nations thanks let there be
mingled the nations prayers that our
gallant sons may be shielded from harm
alike on the battlefield and in the clash
of fleets and be spared the scourge Of
suffering and disease while they are
striving to uphold thir countrys honor;
and withsl let the nations heart be
stilled with holy awe at the thought
of the noble men who have persisted as
heroes die, and be filled with compass
sionate sympathy for all those who suf-
fer bereavement or endure sickness,
wounds and bonds by reason of the
awful struggle. And above all, let us
pray with earnest fervor that He, the
dispenser Of all good, may speedily re-
move from us the untold Affections of
war and bring to our dear land the
blessings of restored peace and to all
the domain now ravaged by the cruel
strife the priceless boon of security and
tranquility VIM. M'KINLEY.

patch Boat Dandy, via Port Antonio
and Kingston, Jamaica, July 6.-5 p.
m-The destruction of the Spanish
cruiser Reina Mercedes last night (Mon-
day. accounts for the last ship of Adj
miral Cervera's once splendid squad
ron.
She lies to-day IN plain view, her bow
resting on the base of the beach under
Ell Moro. Part of the hull is above
water and her masts and two stacks
are entirely out of water.
1t is not yet known whether she at
tempted to escape from the harbor or
whether the Spaniards tried to sink
her near the hull of the Merrimac and
thus block the entrance to prevent the
Americans from getting in.
Her sinking was most dramatic.
Just before midnight she was seen
drifting slowly out of the narrow en-
trance by one of the American scouts.
In moment the fleet was ablaze with
signals and almost instantly an awful
hail Of shells was hammering down
upon her. 1t is not known whether
she returned the fire, but the shore
battery opened and one six-inch shell
fell on the Indiana's forward deck, eX-
ploding below. The explosion occur
red in the mems sleeping rooms, but
all were at quarters and no one was
hurt.
No other American ship was hit
during the engagement or incident,
which lasted only few minutes

Found Drowned in Eighteen Inches of
Water Near Sistersville.

Special to the Register.
Sistersville, w. Va, July 6.-This
evening about $50 Mrs. Ella Nissan,
a woman who has been living on a
boat at Coney island, famous resort
below the city, was found drowned.
The persons who had been staying on
the boat with her had gone away for a
short time and on their return found
her lying in about eighteen inches of
water dead without a stitch of clothes
except stockings. The woman was
twenty years OF age and very pretty.
There is belief that foul play was the
cause of her death, though not much
credence is given the theory. The wo-
man had been i'll for some time and the
general opinion is that in fit of tenn
porary insanity she threw herself into
the river.

- the Democrats Will nominate
their legislative ticket at the
county convention Saturday. there
II much interest as to the
probable makeup of the ticket. The
fact that large number of names have
been suggested as suitable and available
candidates, is evidence that Democrats
IN Ohio county are far from being
h0pea1s this year. On the contrary
they expect to nominate ticket that
will be slated. That this feel
Ing is not artificial and is
general is shown by the interest that is
being manifested by the delegates to
the county convention. Candidates are
only being considered as to their prob
able strength and fitness and very little
attention is paid to those who only wish
to satisfy personal ambition by Sc
curing place on the ticket. The leg
islative ticket will very likely be COM
posed OF new material, of men who
have never been candidates for office
before. Recognizing the weaknss of
til Republican ticket nominated last
Saturday the Democrats do not intend
to make like mistake and will select
only those who will add strength to the
ticket and make an aggressive cam
paign.
Among those who villa likely be given
q nomination for the Legislature Is
James r. Hissom, of the Island. A
large number of the delegates have al
ready expressed a preference
for Mr. Hissom and that
they intend to vote for him.
His mination is a reasonable GER
tainty. He has resided in Wheeling for
q number of years and has consider
able investment in this city. He is
prominent and respected citizen and
will make an aggressive and popular
candidate.
James w. Ewing has also been favor
ably mentioned for another place on
the legislative ticket. Mr.. Ewing is a
prominent young attorney and having
been private secretary to Governor
Fleming while the latter was in the
gubernatorial chair, is peculiarly
equipped for legislative capacity. JOS
eph Handlan, another young attorney,
has also friends in the delegation who
wish to see him nominated. 1t has been
\Nhe custom for both parties to nomi-
~ labor candidate. For this place
Nhe ticket Mr.. M. F. Tighe has been
entioned. Mr. Tighe is one of the
Iblest and most popular labor leaders
the Ohio Valley and a stronger can
date could not be secured. He has
Eretofore0refused to run, but his
