OFF JURAGUA, June "a via Playa del
Este, Guantanamo Bay June 25)---The first
serious engagement before Santiago city, and
the first battle of the war on land, occurred this
friday morning. The American forces won
and are pressing on to Santiago which will
probably be assaulted before many hours.
This morning four troops of the First cavalry,
four troops of the Tenth cavalry and eight
troops of Roosevets Rough Riders, comprising
less than 1000 men in all, dsmounted and made
an attack on a force Of at least 1000 Spanish
soldiers in the thickets, within five miles of San
tiago city. The Americans, after a desperate
engagement lasting more than an hour, drove
the enemy back into the city of Santiago, but
the brave Americans left thirteen dead on the
| field

TWELVE DEAD SPANIARDS.

That the Spanish losses were much heavier
thin those suffered by the Americans there is
every evidence to show. In the bush near
where the heaviest fighting occurred the bodies
of twelve dead Spaniards were found, and the
natural supposition is that they carried away
with them greater number Of their killed.
SPANIARDS FLED IN DISORDER.
The Spaniards at the outset made a stubborn
resistance and held their ground we'll. The
whitening fire of the Americans, however was
too much for them, and when they did waver it
soon became a precipitato flight, and the vic
torious American troops pursued the enemy SO

When President Mckinley returns

is away the executive mansion will
undergo a thorough overhaufng, and
a coat of white paint will he admins

emit of public buildings and grounds.
Not since the administration of Presi-
d.nt Harrison has the entire building
received full coat of paint, which it
sadly needs. The White House has been
PAINTED so often that the paint peels
off rapidly, and gives the building an
unsightly appearance, which was not
the case when its present incumbent
first took up his residence there. Dur
ing Major McKiniey's trip to Cleve-

ants at the executive mansion gave it

AIEdIsLATIvE MIDDLE.

When the legislature at its last ses-
sion undertook to correct the unfair
and unjust apportionment of the ses-
sion of 1891, for legislative purposes,
it undoubtedly blundered. Whether
the object was to secure partisan adj
vantage or to honestly give to certain
counties representation which was de-
MED them by the gerrymander mat
tiers not. The constitution is clear
and explicit and in case the Demo
Gratis see proper to contest the law
there can be but one result-a dec1s-
ion that the law is unconstitutional.
Section 10 Of article of the consti-
tuition says;
The arrangement of the Senatorial
and Delegate Districts, and appor-
tionment of Delegates, shall hereaf-
ter be declared by law, as soon as
possible after each succeeding CEN
sus, taken by authority of the Unit
ed States. When so declared they
shall apply to the first general cleo
ton for members of the Legislature
to be hereafter held, and SHALL
CONTINUE IN FORCE UN-
CHANGED until such districts
shall be altered, and delegates APP
portioned, under the SUCCEEDING
CENSUS.
That the apportionment was IN
tended by the trainers of the constitu-
ton to remain unchanged is further
evidenced by section of the same ar
ticle, relating to senatorial districts,
which provides that
After each such census, the Legisla-
ture shall alter the Senatorial DIS
tricts, so far as may be necessary,
etc.
We are informed that the Demo
Gratis of the Delegate District COM
posed of the counties of Berkeley,
Morgan and Jefferson, will nominate
under the old law, ignoring the re-
cent act giving Morgan county del
egate. While our sympathies are de-
cidedly with the good people of Nor
gan, our opinion is that the enemy
will have the best Of the fight and il
is we'll to be forearmed.
The matter is presented now in or
der that our forces may not be caught
mapping TO our mind it would be
we'll to have the State Committee
look into the case and secure a deci-
sion before nominations are made.

A Political Parable With a Moral.

The nomination, rather renomina-
ton, OF Hon B. B. Dovener at Wheel
ing last week was the logical result
of a contest that was peculiar in more
ways than one. Early in the cam
paipn there were three candidates,
Mr.. Dovener, Hon. John A. Camp
bell, of Hancock, and Hon. Benz.
Merihen, OF Marshall. Seeing that
the incumbent had the inside track,
Mr.. Merihen withdrew. Judge Camp
bell continued the fight, waging war
on the regular organization and PIN
ming his faith on the dissatisfied ele-
ment. OF course defeat was inevita-
BILE A few days prior to the conven-
ton, he also pulled out, but failed to
inform his faithful followers who
went to the convention in blissful ig-
norance of the fact that Mr.. Dovener
had clear track. The Campbell del
egates were like the wouldDe bride
groom whose affianced refused to be a
bride. They were loyal to their lead
er, but he was untrue to them, and
now to say that they will never more
be Campbell men is telling the whole
truth. They say they were duped
and heartily regret chat is many OF
them) that they pinned their faith to
him. The result is wholesome les
son to anyone who would try to rise
by pulling down others.

DEnocRAcY rs 1T IS.

Democracy as it was, is known as
the most abnormal conglomeration of
this or any other age. To gain power
it has constructed different platform
every four years and has gathered to-
gether and revamped all old and dis
carded issues and theories. TO re-
tain power it has sacrificed every
principle, violated every pledge, de-
stroyed commerce and trade, brought
financial ruin upon the people, and
wrecked the credit OF the Nation.
Today it is dismantled hulk, sail
ing in the sea of abjectedness and des-
peration without rudder, compass or
chart. 1t demanded war with Spain
and like Camara sought the Red sea
and now, following its Spanish proto-
type, gives promise of sailing back
again.
At the recent convention OF the
faithful, in the Third district Of this
State, platform was adopted which
was so emphatically Democratic that
we are constrained to quote the sec
ond and third planks
Second-We denounce as a viola
ton of the rights of the people the is
suance of bonds and the imposition of
tax upon the business of the country
and the necessaries of life in order to
make up the deficiencies of the ruin
Gus, improvident and burdensome
Republican measure known as the
Dingley bill.
Third-We approve a vigorous
prosecution of the present war with
Spain and demand the freedom of
Cuba, and we pledge our unqualified
support to the administration in all
legitimate efforts to secure the speedy
and victorious termination of the con-
flict with honor to our beloved coun-
try.
From this we are to infer that war
can be vigorously prosecuted on wind
or Spanish promises to pay. The ex-
perience of the late administration OF
Grover Cleveland should have con-
WINGED any dullard that it costs mon
ey to operate governmental machinery
to make no mention of the costly war
which was also vigorously demanded
by the Democracy.
No one expected the Dingley law
to supply war revenues and no one
possessing a spark OF patriotism
should object to being taxed to sup
port a war tor which he himself had
voted. But such is Democracy as tits.

An Important Decision.

Judge Z. Boyd Faulkner on Tues
day decided the case of ex-senator
Johnson n. Camden VS.. w. S. Dew1ng
in favor of the plaintiff. The case
was brought here from Greenbrler
county, and involves the title OF tim
Der land to the extent of 20, 900 acres
in Greenbrier, Webster and Randolph
counties. The land was conveyed to
Hutton & Butcher, but was claimed
to be owned in fact by w. S. Dewlng,
for whom the grantees are alleged to
have acted. The court held that all
this land which had been so conveyed
to Hutton & Butcher, embracing what
is known as the Caperton survey was
in fact held in trust by them for J. n.
Camden and his associates, and Cam
den now being the sole owner, is en-
titled to have the same conveyed to
him.
The case was referred to commis-
sioner to ascertain the quantity OF
land. taxes and costs. The case was
argued by Wesley Mollahan, OF Char
lesion. and Frank Woods, OF Balti-
more, for the plaintiffs, and defended
by Judge W. T. Ice and E. D. Talbot
of ReverlY.

Chickens Come Home to Roost.

Tyler county politics is nothing if
not picturesque, and one of its most
picturesque characters is Hon. o. w.
Hartman. 1t was he who, in the st.
Louis National Convention, to which
he was a delegate, when the Teller
crowd walked out, relieved the dra-
matte situation by singing at the top
of his voice, which is equal to fog
horn, Good. bye My Lover, Good
bye"
Being somewhat Of political boss,
at the recent Republican COMPRESSION
al Convection, at Wheeling, he was
at the head Of the Campbell contin-
gent. There was a contesting dele
CATION from Sistersville ('the greatest
town on earth") and the contestants
won. Hartman was indignant and
with a portion of his crowd played
the Teller act of walking out. AS he
strobe down the aisle, heading the
procession, a Sistersville delegate
struck up Goodbye My Lover,
Goodbye, " to the unlimited disgust
of Hartman.
OF course the joke was appreciated
ana strange as it may appear may be
the means of healing a political fued
of many years standing.

Judge Freer Leads In the Fourth
District.


The preliminary contest for the
Republican nomination tor Congress
in the Fourth District is now about
settled, with Judge Romeo H. Ereer
several laps ahead. Mr.. Miller, like
all Republican IL embers of the pres
ent Congress, has to suffer because he
did not give every applicant for post
office a place on Uncle Sans pay roll.
OF course he would have been most
happy to have done SO, but unfortu-
nately there were not enough offices,
and he is therefore made TO suffer.
All of his meritorious acts are forgot
ten and he is in a fair way to step
down and out.
But there is another consideration.
His antagonist is the most popular
man in the State. Added to his pop
ularity, he is politician of rare dis
elimination Knowing that the kick
ers would rally to his standard, he
wisely made fair weather with the
rank and file and never failed to COM
pliment the leaders. His policy, in
brief, has been to make friends and
tie them to him in such manner that,
even though they might be partisans
of Mr. Miller, they are equally ready
to take of their coats and hustle for
him. Even Mr.. Miller, himself, has
nothing but the kindest of feelings
for his versatile antagonist.

Farmers Break the Buggy Monopoly

1t is claimed that for years buggy
manufacturers have secured exorbitant
prices for their goods, but recently,
through the combined assistance of the
farmers of Iowa, Illinois and other
states, SEARS, RoEBUCK IL Co. of Chica-
go, have got the price of open bug
gies down to $3.50; Top Buggies,
2275; Top Surries, $4375 and upwards,
and they are shipping them in immense
numbers direct to farmers in every state.
They send an immense Buggy Catalogue
free, postpaid, to any one who asks for
it. This certainly is big victory for
the famers, but severe blow to the car
riage manufacturers and dealers. II
