A Doctor Disappears.

Much excitement was created at
Martinsburg yesterday by the disap-
pearance of DR.. c. P. Taylor. Tues
day afternoon at 4 o'clock DR.. Taylor
left home to visit some patients in the
country. Next morning his horse and
buggy were found hitched to fence
at Riley's ford, along the Opequon
creek. They had evidently been there
for a number of hours. Officers from
Martinsburg started at once for the
place, and after examination found
spots of blood on the seat and floor Of
the buggy. They also found in the
buggy the medicine satchel belonging
to the doctor in a disarranged condi-
ton, with some pieces Of absorbent
cotton, which had evidently been used
in absorbing blood or some dark fluid.
No marks indicating struggle could
be found on the buggy or on the
ground nearby. A thorough search
of the neighborhood was made, but no
clew to the mystery had been found
up to last night, nor had the doctor
been heard from. Arrangements were
made to drag the creek today, one
theory being that the doctor had been
murdered and his body thrown into
the Opequon. DR.. Taylor is from
Mineral county, this State, and moved
to Martinsburg last spring, His wife
is almost distracted at his disappear
anCe.

and 30th and July lst.
1t is said that Col. Bob Eastman,
who escaped from the Tucker county
jail, is with General Lees army at
Tampa.
Thomas Gracey and Stively Dicker-
hoof, two B. & o. trackmen, were
struck by lightning and instantly
killed last Saturday while working
near Pawpaw, Morgan county.
Four little children of Alex. Nc
Chesney, in Pocahontas county, were
burned to death the other day.
While their parents were away their
clothing caught fire, and the little ones
were burned to crisp.
Rev. Charles White, who was so
prominently connected with the death
of Minnie Holmes of Clarksburg, will
Join the church of which he was pastor
in the request that he be removed from
his pastoral duties there. He will
then ask for an investigation of the
charges against him. He maintains
his innocence but says the Presbytery
and not the newspapers is the medium
through which he should prove it.
A bold robbery was committed at
Chenille at 8 o'clock the other morn
ing, when P. T. Percy, deputy sheriff
Of Gilmer county, was robbed in his
Office at the courthouse of 81 800 in
cash. The deed was committed by
three masked men, who effected an en-
trance by breaking down the door,
One attacked the deputy, who was in
bed, and dealt him terrific blow upon
his head, while another choked him
into insensibility, They then rihed
desk, in which the money was locked
and made their escape. Piercy had
just a day or two before drawn $500
from the Gilmer County Bank, and the
whole amount was for the purpose of
paying the State tax. The robbery
created great excitement.

The Flag Floats Over Cuban Soil.

The stars and stripes are floating
over Cuban soil, but American blood
was shed in keeping the flag there.
Last Saturday afternoon force OF SIX
hundred marines landed at Guantana-
mo and established camp. A large
force of Spanish soldiers and guerrillas
attacked them about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, and from that time until
daylight Sunday morning the fighting
was almost continuous. The Spanish
fired from the bushes that surrounded
the camp, and though our men were
at great disadvantage they courage
ously held their position. -Four Amer
leans were killed. They were Assist
ant Surgeon John Blair Gibbs, of New
York, Sergeant Charles 81. Smith, OF
Smallwood, Nd, and Privates VIM.
Dunphy, Of Glocester, Mass, and James
McColgan, of Stoneham, Mass. 1t is
not known what the Spanish loss was.
Dunphy and Michigan were killed
while out scouting, and their bodies
had been hacked and mutilated by the
Spanish until they were hardly recog-
nizable. This barbarous treatment
Infatuated the marines, and they will
fight like tigers when they get fair
chance at the cruel Spaniards.
Sunday night the Spanish again at
tackled the marines, firing upon them
from the bushes almost necessarily.
Two more Americans were killed and
four were wounded. A scouting party
attacked stone fort and drove out
the Spanish, who left behind them ff-
teen Of their dead.
Tuesday the Americans took the
offensive. They had been terribly
harrassed by the Spanish while they
lay in camp, and could do but little
against their enemies in the bushes
Tuesday they were reinforced by about
1900 insurgents, and they made an at
tack upon the Spanish camp four miles
distant. The Spaniards fought with
spirit for a time, but the marines and
insurgents went at them so vigorously
they soon broke and fled, They left
about fifty dead behind them, and
eighteen of their number were taken
prisoners. Two of the Cuban allies
were killed, four of them were wound
ed and two marines were wounded.
The Spanish camp was destroyed. The
marines declare they will hold their
camp all summer if necessary, but the
arrival of the troop ships is anxiou8ly
awaited.
