DEATH OF CAPT. cAPRoN.
The Fallen Rough Rider Scion From
Heroic Stock.

Tampa, Fla, June 2S-In my letter to
the Sunday Morning News of June 10, I
referred to Capt. Allyn Capron of the First
United States Artillery as having been
born here at Fort Brooke, while his father,
Capt. Era5tus A. Capron, also of the First
Artillery, was stationed here.
This officer is the father of Capt Allyn
Capron, Jr., of the Roosevelt Rough Rid
ers. who so heroicolly fell in the first bat
tie near Santiago dc Cuba. He was a sec
ond lieutenant in the Seventh United
States Cavalry, but his fine soldierly quail
tiles secured him captaincy with the
Rough Riders.
Capt. Capron. while proud of his sons
gallant conduct is sorely bereaved in his
early death. When he was mere boy, his
distinguished father, then only 81 years old
fell while leading his men in Il charge at
the battle of Churubusco, i'm the Mexican
war. And now his son, in the flush Of young
manhood, like his gallant grandfather
falls before the deadly fire of the enemy
a fate which may be his own before This
cruel war is over" There has never been
a more heroic family In the army than the
Caprons, three generations of which have
been lifelong soldiers, and two genera
tons have sealed their devotion to their
country Win tHSH precious llLe-DlOOQ IN
the fierce conflict of the battlefield.
There are many patriotic and brave
men, in and out of the army, who indorse
the views Of the Morning News on the
origin and purpose of the war And this
Endorsement seems to find an echo in the
uttctances Of the conservative press from
Maine 10 California. The Riverside, Cal,
Press voices the general view when il
offers this gentle reminder 10 it's readers
for their deliberate considerations
I'VE have never been disposed TO criti-
else and find fault with the administration
for the manner in which it has conducted
the war. But the thought Will come that
a terrible mistake has been made on the
island of Cuba is an armed enemy, and
starving people. The United States goes
to war TO succor these victims of Spanish
greed and cruelty. without the island we
draw a Gordon of ships and invoke the aid
of famine to force the enemy TO submis-
sion. Has il never occurred TO us that
we shall thus wipe out utterly the people
we would save before a single Spanish
soldier need want for bread? April Is
June 10. The awful story that interval OF
time may reveal when the veil is lifted
from Cuba may horrify the world"

The Proposed Bond Issue and the
SeVvers-The Legislative Race.
Waycross, Ga, June 2S.-The proposition
of c. G. McCranie to build the sewerage
system for Waycross for something be
tween $4,000 and $4,000, includes seven
miles of additional mains more than was
designated in Mayor Knights estimate,
and would give the town a better system
for an additional expenditure of about g.
600 1t is presumed that Mr.. McCranies Of
fer is bona fide, and In case the 50dO0
bonds shall be elected, he win stand a
good chance Of getting the contract. There
Is some little opposition to the bonds, but
the only objection raised so far by the OPP
position Is that 100000 is preferable to $780,
600. and that the time is not opportune.
The legislative race Is now between j.
Walter Bennett and ]. Robert Mcdonald.
Both candidates are canvassing the county
thoroughly and both speak confidently of
the final result. Many of TONERS friends
are rallylng to the support of Bennett.
A letter received to-day from one of the
Waycross soldiers in Col. Lawton's regi-
ment at Chickamauga states that the
members of the regiment have not receiv-
ed any pay from the government as yet

your correspondent has to say about the
canteen system, and also noted your edi-
torlal remarks. Evidently the Atlanta
ministers are aiming their shot at the
improper management of a canteen, rather
than at the canteen itself, which is In no
sense a beer saloon or a barToom when
properly conducted. Now parents and
preachers have a right to protest against
the placing of a canteen under the control
of a professional and lifelong saloon
Keeper Such a man is supposed to be
versed only in the mixing of drinks, etc.
while the superintendent of a well-ordered
canteen should be a thorough, sober, re-
liable business man. He should be this
for the safety of the morals of the solder
boys, and in order to make the canteeu a
real source of profit to the regiment.
It is too late in the day to decry the
canteen, which is far better in every sense
than the old suffers tent or store. When
the colonel and his advisers use proper
care in the selection of a suitable man to
run the canteen. they assure to the sol
diers something more than a mere beer
saloon. If beer is sold it is only a minor
feature in the canteen, where everything
a soldier needs should be on sale, with
the usual exceptions. No parent or preach
er has any cause TO protest against a
properly conducted canteen, but il is rea-
sonable to suppose that they become sus-
picious of such an institution, when a
saloonkeeper instead of a business man is
put in charge. Sidney Herbert.
