The following letter from s. B. Henderson to relatives in Globe, was received few days ago:
 SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July ', 1898.
 have 6 very few minutes. in which to address you. am not feeling well by any means, but under the oircum- stances will not complain.
 l wrote you about the battle of June 24, so will tell you in brief of the last battle, which opened July l, at day break, with the Spaniards in their we'll prepared Notifications and we in the open. Alter two hours fighting in this position we charged their entrench- ments with a big loss of men. We ran them cut to entrenchments 400 yards behind, which the Spaniards have occu- pied to this minute.
 We fought from Friday morning at day break until Sunday ut 12 o'clock noon. Dave Loque was killed, shot near the heart. Jack Swetman also killed, shot through the head. Jerry Lee shot through the head, died last night. D. Warford, also of Globe, shot through both legs. The rest of the Globe boys unhurt.
 The Spaniards are now fixing for the fight of their lives. The white flag went up Sunday noon. They lowered it yesterday for 20 minutes, then hoisted it again. Our troops are planting big guns and fixing to lombard Santiago. You have read particulars before this. We have the city surrounded; can see the Spaniards in plain view and hear them talking but we are not allowed to shoot. l hear some of them talk of giving up.
 We have captured about 1900 pris- oners. American army lost 1500 killed and wounded The Spanish charged our fortifcations We killed SIX hun dred and didn't lose but one man can't say what the Spanish loss is, but it is heavy. We covered up lots of Spaniards to keep them from stiHking, and I don't think they will try to charge us anymore. They havs made two charges, one in the night and one in the daytime when it was pouring down rain. They thought wo were mapping:

The heat tho past week has been ex- treme and what has rendered it more trying is that the nights were uncom- fortably close, which is unusual 1t this altitude. The highest rsading of Dr. B. c. Fox's self-registering thermome- ters was 109 degrees. Ordinary ther- momsters about town have indicated maximum temperatures of 100 to l05. Heavy clouds and wind from the north yesterday evening gave promise of Q storm that it was hoped would bring relief, but as is frequently the case in Arizona, the effort was abortive, although affording temporary relief. The present torrid wave recnlls that hoary chestnut of the Yumanite send- ing back from hell for his blankets, and almost inclines one to give the story credepce.

 DEAR SISTER Your kind letter re ceived few days ago and was 30 glad to hear from you. Sister, thought the first fight was hard one, but it wasn't in it with this one. One has no idea what it is to go into s battle and fight two days and half, and never let up minute--shots whistling around one like bees, and seeing men shot down right along side of you and not being able to help them. I havo been on the firing line for seven days end had nothing to eat for two days and slept very little. It will be happy day when we get into Santiago and tho fighting is over.
 The Spaniards still have the white flag up, but don't know whether they will give up or not. l hope they do. Not that am afraid for myself, but can't stand the sight of the boys shot down by the Spanish towards. Dave Logue was shet right by my side, and l helped carry him to shelter. He lived only short time.
 It looks so horrible to see fighting with cannon. What scares one is when they throw dynamite shells at us and kill three or four at shot. The Span iards haven't got ghost of a show. If they don't give mp our gunners will shell the city and burn it. r
 We took three block houses from the enemy and if they had been brave men, we never could have taken them. We ran them into the city, and I think fl we had kept on they would have ran into the bay. The Spaniards shot rail road iron, log chains, and any old thing they could get, at us. They have lot of old style cannons which they loaded with anything they could get.
 All thc Globe boys are o K, except Logue and Swetrnan who were killed It rains here every day and in the mornings the heat is so intense one can hardly stand it. At night it is so cold one wants rll the cover he can get. The ground is never dry; my clothes haven't been dry since landed on the island--alvays wet, either from rain or precipitation. But I have not been sick day yet and hope I will pot be. If live to see the states again any body can have my share of this country, but if the war continues l want to stay. l won't show the white feather. Tell Lester that I got him Spaniard, he told me when left to kill one for him, so shake hands with Linn and tell aim I kept my promise.
 hope you are all well, and that you will not worry about me. Think l will pull through all right.

RAILROAD BUILDING.

Despite the excessive heat along the San Carlos river, the construction crews at work on the grade of the Gi!e Valley, Globe S Northern railroad arc making rapid progress. The force was increased on Monday last by the arrival of 50 men from Fl Paso, and now unmhe.e 250 to 300 men. The most westerly camp is located on the river, twelve milea from San Carlos agency, nine miles from Gilson's and twenty one miles from Globe. More than two thirds of the grade between the agency and the 12 mile pole has been completed, and probably within ten days one of the construction outfits will be advanced to Gilsons. High water in the Gila river delayed bridge building for . few days, but the work is now well in hand and the middle of August should wit ness the completion of the bridge when track laying will be resumed.
 The Midland Construction companys outfit excavating the long cut through the summit east of Globe is making far headway with small force. It has been found impossible to get men in Globe at the wages paid (Sl.75) but men and teams will soon be available from the grading outfit near San Carlos. We understand Mir. Garland is still confident that the railroad will reach Globe in October, but it is the opinion here that it will be December list or later, before the road is completed through the town to tue smelters.

ONE RED ROSE RENTAL
A single Flower Pay. the Hen. OF :

A single Flower Pays the Rent OF The
site of "A Pennsylvania Church.
"On the second Sunday of each June
there is paid to the oldest lineal de-
scepdant OF the founder Of Mannheim,
Baron Henry William Stiegel. the an
nuai rent for the plot of ground given
by him more than century and
quarter ago for the building OF a
church." writes clifford Howard In the
Ladies' Home Journal. This rent,this
yearly tribute. is one red rose; and II
is the payment of this flower to the
heir of baron that forms the occa-
sion OF the beautiful and novel cello
bration. the Feast OF Roses at Man
helm. Pa The day preceding the for
nal ceremonies Is observed as gen
eral holiday, devoted to festivities and
amusements, and to welcoming The
heir. The town is early filled with
people from the surrounding country.
and by the time set for the coming
of the distinguished guests the stress
are thronged with an expectant mul-
titude. As the trains draw into the
station the laundering boom of a
cannon announces its arrival, and In
few moments the honored descendant
of the baron appears in an open car
riage preceded by band OF music.
Accompanied with appropriate reli-
gious exercises. with music and ad-
dresses, the simple yet beautiful and
touching ceremony of paying the rent
Is performed in the church on the fol
lowing day. Every space. every nook
within the church is filled with 1uxu-
RANT mass OF red roses, and through
the open windows peep the blossoms
Of the rose vines that climb and clus-
ter on the outside wall. In the name
and in behalf OF the congregation, the
minister takes from Its silver chaiice
the rose that has been specially selected
for the purpose because of its trans
cendent beauty and fragrance, and pre-
sents II to the heir of Baron Stiegel In
discharge Of the obligation required
by the deed. The recipient takes the
rose. and in a few remarks ackncwi-
edges the payment OF the debt"
