SHAFTER MOVES FORWARD.

Baiquiri, Cuba, June 20, 6 p. M, viz
Port Antonio, June 24.-The situation
at the present hour is that the Cubans
and Americans have driven the Spanish
back eight miles, and that the latter
in their retreat have burned a dozen
blockhouses. General Iawton has
thrown out bis skirmishers, and is re-
ported to be engaging the enemy. The
rough riders with dynamite gun are
hurrying forward on foot 10 support
Lawton.
AMERICANS IN ALTAREs
Three hundred Spanialds have been
routed out Of Altares, and the Ameri-
cans are in possession. Five thousand
Cubans under General Rabi and Gen
eral Garcia were loaded on United
States transports at Asseyedera, west Of
Santiago, and landed at Altares, east of
Santiago, to join in the general move
ment on Santiago from the east. They
made very picturesque landing under
our guns, the Spanish falling back.
Late Wednesday afternoon the
American flag was flown from the top
Of the Altares Mountains, back Of |
Ba'quiri, amid wild enthusiasm.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Winning victories is an American
specially, not confined to either branch
c1 the service, nor to any particular
place. Skaters brave men win as
easily IN Cuba as Dewey's did in Ma.
Mia Bay.
Brutal as the Spaniards are, they
will not dare to harm Hobson or any
OF his gallant companions; the day of
reckoning is too near.
la declaring their independence be-
fore the arrival of Or soldiers, the
Philippine insurgents appear to have
intended to put in bid to be left in
control of the islands.
The men who know the intentions of
the European governments towards us,
and towards each otEer,are being badly
overworked and undergrad.
Daddy Letter would have found if
much cheaper to have given "Joe"
commission in the volunteer army.
The Cadiz feet finds it necessary to |
call at ports so often that the suspi- |
cion of its inability to make a long |
voyage is growing.

1t may be safely predicted that fol-
the next ten days the news from Santi-
ago de Cuba and its immediate neigh
borhood will be of unusual interest.
Happily telegraphIc communication
has been restoreJ,and the people of tie
United States will be kept closely in
formed of what their gallant soldiers
and sailors are doing, No man doubts
that they will well acquit themselves.
The doubt and fear which possesses all
minds is as to the cost. How many OF
our brave boys shall we leave upon
the field of battlel Until the list of
the dead and wounded shall have been
made up the public interest Will remain

A Blessing For the Ladies

Thousands of ladies are using Brazil ian Balm. For soreness, pain, bearing down and many kinds of trouble, 1t acts like a charm. A 50 cent or dollar bottle often does more good in one week than any other remedy does in months. It goes right to the spot, removing all ir- Aammation. Mrs. Geo. W.

It k suggested by some officials here that the purpose of his visit to this country at the present moment is to get married. It is entirely possible, and in fact probable, that being in the United States and well acquainted with the sit nation in tho Philippines, General Aler- ritt may be designated to proceed 10 Paris as technical adviser to the ponce commission. This is rresuming that the commission will continue the ses- sion several weeks at least, for other wise 1t would not be possible for General Merritt to make the long trip from the Philippines to San Francisco, thence to New ' ork by rail and then to Paris

POISONED BY WATER.

Three Deaths In One Family at Gram
berry Isles.
There were three deaths in the family
OF Gilman Rosebrooks at Gran berry Isles
last week, due, it is believed, to the use of
impure water, and at last reports Mr.. and
Mrs. Rose brooks were seriously i'll and the
fourth and last child was not expected
to recover.
The prolonged drought has caused a
scarcity OF water on Cranberry Isles.
Water in cis.erns has been low and i'm
pure and much sickness has resulted from
its use.
The Rosebrooks family used water from
a small stream near their house. In short
time t..s members of the family sickened.
On Thursday, Sept. %, Harley the five
year -old boy, died. Six days later, last
Wednesday, Jennie, aged six, was taken,
and ON the following day Mildred, aged
three.
Only one child remains, and the physi-
clan gives little hope of its recovery. The
parents are critically ill.
