The court of Spain and the Madrid
government having again separately
sounded the European courts and gov
ernments regarding what assistance
they would give to Spain during or at
the close of her war with the United
States. Austria naturally was found
to be most willing TO take the lead 10

her allies, Germany and Italy, though
they s~ympathize on principle with the
queen regent, do not care to pick a

Mr.. Stephen BOnsal, in his ''The
Real Condition of Cuba Today" de-
scIibes the execution of two little Cuban
boys, whose only sin had been that
they had always shouted "Long Live
Free Cubai" An old sergeant tells
him the story. They had been kept
imprisoned, but they were very much
pleased when the lieutenant said they
would die together; he would not
separate them. Then the oldest lost
his courage a little, whispered implor-
lngly to the captain, and we thought
he was going to give way, poor little
worm, and 1 would moi blame him.
He should have been at home with his
mother, curled up in her lap. But
then the captain answered, loud and
sharp, and we knew he had been
wavering. The captain said: "What
you ask is impossible. / must obey
orders, and you must be shot just as
you are, and like all other prisoners
sentenced to death for rebellion"
Then the little chap, who was not a
year older than his brother, blew out
his chest like a game cock and said:
al only asked because Karlito is so
young; because 1 wanted to put my
arms about him when you fired, TO
save him all / could when the bullets
came; but Karlito is a Cuban. He will
be brave" Then the sergeant made
them kneel down three feet apart on
the ground, with their backs to the
firing platoon. 1t vas hardly a sec
ond. The file was drawn up, and the
cried, s'Apun tart" (aim).
But, you know those little fellows had
edged toward each other, working on
their knees hard, and were kneeling,
shoulder touching shoulder, and with
cheek to cheek. Then the vOlley
came, and the bullets lifted the poor
featherweights that they were, off
the ground and blew them against the

The Spanish government can not

most friendly European powers, because
they have intimated that they can only
interfere TO mitigate the consequence
of SPANS unequal struggle with a
far superior enemy. They say they

painful sacrifices of sovereignty and

Under the standard OF Lee;
And you were with brave Sherman
On his terrible march to the sea;
But side by side we are going
TO the battlefield nee more,
To drive the bastard hordes of Spain
From the "gem of the Antilles shor
A wall from the Isle of Cuba,
From the starving homeless there,
And h tread of marching freemen
In answer to their prayer.
So side by side together,
We're going to the fray,
And the boy in blue is marching on
With the man who wore the gray.
We're going there together,
To fight the sons of Spain,
To drive them from the island,
And to avenge the Maine.
The bastard deed of bastard souls,
The blacklist earth e'er knew.
To wreak dire vengeance for our ship
AGd for her murdered crew.
We swear to free the Cubans,
Or, fighting for them, die,
Upon the soil of Cuba,
Beneath the Cuban sky.
The stars and stripes above us,
With freedom IN each fold,
For God and liberty and right,
As in the days of old.
And not alone for Cuba's wrongs,
And for her starving ones,
We go to drive the Spanish out
They slew ColumbIa's sons.
The sailors in the night,
Are calling not 10 vain
For vengeance, for the foe will lind
Well not forget the Maine.
For north and south are one today
Beneath the stripes and stars,
And side by side b blue and gray
Obey the trump OF Mars.
United all, we're marching on

To humble Spain, avenge the Maine,
And make fair Cuba free.

Carrollton Record: s'Greenbacks
only worth half of what they call for,
and Accent silver dollars are moi the
sort of money with which the republic
can congress proposes to pay United
States soldiers for their services in the
Cuban war. The free SILVER democrats
of the Bryan brain capacity want to
pay the soldiers who join the army to
fight SPAN with 44-cent silver dollars,
instead of the 10O-cent dollars with
which they ought to and will be paid"
This is silly rot. Greenbacks are good
enough for soldiers, citizens or bond
holders. The soldiers of the last wal
were paid with g~reenbacks. 1t is the
rich bondholder, who wants a safe in
vestment and interest on his money,
who bowls for bonds. And some tax
payers are foolish enough to want him
to have bonds.

Mo Mau 1Ot

hlGGINSVILLE, MO, May z, 1898.
To Whom it May Concern:
Having frequently heard hat it is being
currently reported throughout the county
by some irresponsible persons, and being
used for campaign purposes, that J.. Ii.
Campbell, a candidate for nomination at
the democratic primary for the office of
circuit clerk, is and has been an advocate
of a single gold standard, and numerous
inquiries having been made recently with
regard to this matter, we desire to say, as
a matter of justice to Mr.. Campbell, that
he was one of the first and original advo-
Gates for the free coinage of both gold and
silver, and that he has ever been an out
spoken and ardent supporter of said doc
trine. We will say further, that his
strong advocacy of free silver caused
arrangement upon the part of some
persons who had formerly been his warm
personal friends. Respectfully,
J.J. F~ULKERsoN,

SPANISH SHIP REPORTED SUNK IN

Hong Kong advises that the schooner
AmIret arrived there today. Her cap
tain and men report they saw an
American gunboat, probably the Con-
cord, sink q Spanish gunbOat after a
terrific fight of Two hours, off Iioilo,
one of the Philippine islands.
The Concord was apparently not
damaged, and nome of her sailors were
killed.
This leaves but two Spanish warships
in Asiatic waters. Ono is in the docks
at Hong Kong unable to leave, and the
other is being searched for by the
Boston, with orders to destroy her.

probably take both llOilO and Cebu,
The only two ports besides Manila in
the Philippines that amount to any

but ran up the flag in order TO get time
for the women and children to leave

children were there, they answered that
Dewey slipped in on them before they
