The Indiana Leads.

There has been considerable inquiry
lately among Indianians as to what
had become of the big tattleship bear
ing this states honored name and
member of Admiral SIMPSONS squad
ron. The Indiana has not been heard
from in the many bombardments
around the Cuban coast since the first
but now she comes to the front as the
leader of magnificent procession con.
voying the United States army of inva-
sion from Key West to Cuba.
Capt. Taylor, of the Indiana, is hon
ored with the command of this great
expedition, consisting of l6 warsbips
and long line of transports, about 50
in number, carrying General Skaters
regulars over the waters to the place
of landing near Santiago 1t is said no
grander marine display was ever wit
messed than when this train of ships
many miles in length steamed away
from the keys off the Florida coast for
Cuba'S storm tossed shores.

The Boys at Tampa.

One of the novel sights to be wit
messed here is at the docks, when regi-
ment after regiment marches to Picnic
island to go In bathing each morning
Thousands of the boys in blue are in
the water at the same time. To say
that they have all the sport there is to
be had in this healthfui pastime would
be putting it mildly. On each side of
the walk leading out to the end of the
docks is mass Of colored venders 81 IL
ing everything immaginable to quench
ones thirst, as well as pies, cakes, fish
and almost everything else in the way
of eatables. Several hotels are also
located on the docks where frst-class
meals can be had by those SO desiring
it at reasonable prices.

Claude Fish Writes OF Experiences I'm
The Army.
Port Tampa, Fla, June 12-Lieut.
Charles Price, Plymouth, ind. Dear
Charley:-I imagine you have given up
all hope of receiving a letter from me
but have not forgotten the promise l
made you when We left Plymouth.
This is Sunday afternoon and having
but little work IN camp will take oppor-
tunity to write you. L suppose you are
entirely familiar with all our move
ments, so will not say much about them,
and will give you an idea of our pres
ent condition and quarters. We are
encamped in palmetto field near the
coast of Tampa bay, and the boys all
take great delight IN a daily saltwater
plung.
The ground will not permit of much
drill as it is almost entirely covered
with palmetto palm roots; there is
however, a small smooth basin to our
left where we have our guard mount
ings, and dress parade. Our drills now
are mostly squad drill in extended
order, in which the men are getting
quite proficient. They have all been
issued new Springfield rifles, and take
great pride in them.
Tampa bay is full of transports,
small dispatch boats and second class
battleshlps, all awaiting orders to load
and move. Some were already loaded
but the men were so crowded in them
that they have found it best to unload
and let the men 60 into camp until
definite orders are received.
The general health of the members
of the 18th Ind. is good, there being
no serious illness wha ever. have not
yet had occasion to report to the hos
pital, and all say Tampa is a much
nicer place to be than Chickamauga
Park. OF course the heat is very great,
but there is always a cool breeze blowing
which makes it very pleasant, both day
and night Some of the boys have
been stung by scorpions, but as they
are very small, there have been no
serious results. Our next move will
probably be to either Jacksonville or
Porto Rico.
How is company f progressing?
hope You will soon get into the United
States service and have a chance to ex
perience some of the luxuries (?) of
camp life in the sunny South" Have
you list of the men iii your company :?
All the boys would like to know the
names of those who have nerve enough
to offer themselves to the government.
Tell all the people to write to the
boys for there is nothing so thoroughly
enjoyable TO them AS a good, encourag
ing letter from home.
Well Charles, let me have a letter
from you soon, and tell me all you
know. Give all regards from myself
and the balance of the company.
remain very respectfully,
CLAUDE ID. FISH.

At an early hour Tuesday morning a
rumor was current on the streets that
Will f. Leonard, jr., L. 5. express
agent and city clerk had been shot by
burglar and many people at the time
thought the rumtr untrue, but it did
not take long to verify it. Will attend
ed the meeting Of city council Monday
night and recorded the minutes of that
session. After returning to his office
and depositing the books in the safe he
went to his home on Sophia street and
retired. About the hour of $3.50 Tuesday
morning he was awakened from a
sound sleep and discovered that burg
lar was in the bedroom adjoining the
one In which he was sleeping. He dis
covered at the same time that his own
room had been ransacked. Drawers
had been broken open and the contents
scattered over the room.
Taking in the full situation at a
glance he reached for his revolver and
w
exit from the bedroom. He did not
have long 10 wait, for in moment the
fellow came out, and it was seen that
he was full tledged burglar wearing
a mask. Will opened the battle, firing
two shots in quick succession. Neither
of the shots took effect but buried
themselves in the wall Will tried the
third time when be found that his gun
was empty. The burglar then turned
struggle ensued. The would-be mur-
derer held revolver In his hand and
was trying to use 1t. In the struggle
the revolver was discharged and the
bullet entered Mr.. Leonard's left arm
below the elbow, missing the bone and
tearing big hole through the tleshy
portion of his arm.
Will fell to the floor and the man
with the mask jumped through the
window onto the porch and made his
escape. The shooting awakened Mrs.
Leonard who aroused her husband and
told him Will was IN trouble. Mr..
Leonard fastened up stairs and met
Will who told him that he had been
shot oy burglar. Blood was stream
ing from the wound and Dr. Knott was
summoned and rendered the necessary
aid.
The burglar had cut out the screen
in one Of the windows in the kitchen
and cTawled in. The parlor had been
ransacked as were also the bed rooms
up stairs. Thirty dollars and gold
watch were stolen from Will but moth
ing else was missed.
1t is thought that the thief took
passage on an east bound freight train
and the officers at Warsaw were notified
to be on the lookout for him.
The wound is painful one, but DIR.
Knott is of the opinion that with proper
care and attention it will heal in few
weeks, and that Will will be himself
again.
If it was the work of home talent the
party will be apprehended soon, other
wise the chances for his arrest are very
doubtful
