LETTER FROM A
FLORENCE SOLDIER
Their Trip TO San Francisco was
Rather Tame
NEW MEXICO TOWNS SLEEPY

Editor Florence Daily Tribune
Ash Fork, Ariz., June 2l-In behalf of
the boys from Florence, / wish You to
publish this short article. will en-
deavor to write another one from San
Francisco.
The Florence boys who enlisted as the
second recruits you already have the
names of but for the information of those
who may not be posted | will give them
again at the close of this article.
We left Pueblo Sunday night IL p. m.
Our send off at that place was grand
patriotic endeavor. We only regret that
we were not allowed to see Florence
again on our way West, but many
friends were in Pueblo to render their
last parting to us, for all Florence.
We had quite little experience when
about half mile from Pueblo-two of
the BOYS had accidentally been left be
hind. Lieut.. Bidwell ordered the train
back but the railroad officials objected.
We were then ordered to hold the brakes
and not allow the train to move. After
some parleying with the conductor the
lieutenant succeeded in his object and
the train returned to the Pueblo depot
amid shouts and cheers for Lieutenant
Bidwell. We then proceeded to La
Junta where we remained until $50 am,
Monday, and proceeded on the regular
train for the West.
La Junta gave us hearty reception
and the town was astir to see us off in
the morning,
Our journey so far has been without
much interest. The New Mexico towns
did not greet us with much patriotism.
They made the excuse that they did not
know we were coming. So at Las Veg as
we telegraphed ahead to Albuquerque
that we would arrive and expected a
good reception. We got it. The whole
town turned out, and some of the boys
procured pretty souvenirs from the la
dies.
will keep you posted as to the Flor
ence boys until we set sail.

Why Some of the statos Once Had Two

Baton Rouge freely translated means

Outstanding of the affair, however. It
Is quaint old town, consisting chiefly
of river. When l studied geography
several decades ago, knew that Louisi-
ana had two capitals, one at New Or
leans and the other at Baton Rouge.
They have got tired of entertaining
legislators at New Orleans of late years
and have unloadod the whole job upon
the smaller and more nearly dofenselcss
city.
Looking back to those old days re-
call that Louisiana was one of the very
few states which required two vents for
their legislatures. Connecticut was one,
with Hartford and New Haven as cap
itals, and Rhode Island, the smallest Of
states, was another, with Providence
and Newport OF late years there has
been sort of Capitalization of capltris.
The fashion of having one at every GU
terprising city In state has fallen into
disuse. You might tramp all over any
of the states nowadays and not run tho
risk of laundering into n Legislature in
full blast where it might have been
least expected. l asked the Pocatello
man what he thought was the reason
for the wealth of capitals in earlier
times.
I'm those days" he said, "tho states
were young and tender and had not
fully developed their muscle and their
power of resisting great assaults 1t
was therefore to distribute the evil of
legislature sitting over great deal of
country so as not to give any particular
city the worst of it. AS time went on

KEY WEST, FLA, April Is, 1 O'Clock, q m.-Admirai sampson yesterday
afternoon bombarded, slenced and pretty well destroyed the Spanish bat
teries in position and in course Of construction a the entrance of the harbor
of Matanzas.
The battle took place about ono O'Clock yesterday afternoon. It was
short and decisive. The batteries weres nenced in IS minutes.
The firing was done by flag ship New York, monitor Puritan and cruiser
Cincinnati.
Not one of the American ships was struck, the Spanish gunnery being
wild and inaccurate.
The number of dead and wounded on the Spanish side is not known, but
it must be considerable.
While the New York, Puritan and Cincinnati were accommodating in force
for the purpose of locating and destroying the formidable defenses being con-
structed, the flag ship was fred on by the batteries o n Point Rubal Caya and
Point Maya, guarding the entrance to Maanzas barbor.
The New York instantly replied with her forward s-hch gun on the port
side and steamed boldly In between the batteries and al blazing away
with both broadsdes.

York went to starboard, close up to the shore, and poured her shells into
Rubal Caya-
The Cincinnati, which had remained well astern under orders, signaled
for permission to engage. This was given, and soon the Cincinnati was firing
her guns at the fort on the west side Of the bay, The batteries fired explosive
shells and most of them fell wide of the mark. One burst just beyond the
stern Of the New York and a shra2nsl shot exploded above h her t;..,s,,s
The lasts shot that was fred BY the Spanish came from Point Rubal caya.
The Puritan replied with one of her 12inch guns. The shell struck TIT bat

ITCHING HUMORS I

Forgey For Railroad Commissioner.
Why all Audrain county people
should vote for FL. A. Forgey for Rail-
road Commissioner:
First. He lives within two blocks
of our Court House.
Second. If he is nominated he will
certainly be elected, as his extensive
acquaintance and popularity through
out the state will insure him an extra
ordinary large vote. We CLEAN this
from our exchanges.
Third. His salary will be $1,000 and
mileage for six years, making $4,000.
Fourth. The greater portion of this
money will be spent in Audrain county
and will be a help to US all.
Fifth. We feel sure that all dele
gates from Audrain county will be for
h. A. Forgey, unless strong pressure
is brought to bear upon them by some
outside influence.

The Missouri troops don't move be-
cause they can't move. There is NO
money in the State to move them
with. When last in session the Legis-
lature placed only $40, 900 aside for the
support Of the militia for two years. 1t
wasn't enough to pay armory rent for
one regiment. Out of it were tc, come
the entire National guard expenses for
two years. The Governor has refused
to call a special session of the Legis-
lature to appropriate more funds, and
there ID not a cent available to pay
the railroad fare of the Missouri
troops to a rendezvous.
New York sets aside one million
dollars, where Missouri puts up $10,-
900, and New York gave one-half mil
lion dollars more this spring to con-
it's National Guard. New
York's National Guards are ready to

MANY Killed and Wounded and Much Damage Done at Matanzas

The following is from the 81. Louis Republic correspondent at Havana,
one of the editors of La Lucha, the Spanish official organ at the capital, and
is the Spanish report of the bombardment received by that paper:
HAVANA, CUBA, April 2S, via Kingston, Jamaica, April 20, 1 a H.
Matanzas ws sheled by the American fleet on Wednesday afternoon. Three
warships participated in the bombardment. Their fire was directed mainly
upon the harbor batteries, but much damage was done in the city. Many
ruins.
The panic in the city during the bombardment was fightfuL. A second
attack is expected and in anticipation of the temperance of the American
fleet many of the residents have fed to the hills in the interior.
La Lschas report of the bombardment indicates that of the artillery force
manning the guns at Rubal Caya and Point Maya less than adozen escaped.
Volunteers were called for to recover the bodieso of the dead, but not until
late o-day did the ambulance corps approach the ruined Notifications. The
reimbursement of Matanzas has created the greatest excitement here, and it is
expected that the guns of the war ships will next be turned upon this city.

DEPEND ON THE TORPEDoEs.
The Spaniards Think Americans Could Not
Land at Matanzas-The American
Repulses, So-Calleds

MADRID, April 30.-In official circles
it is not believed that the Americans
can effect a landing on the shores of
Matanzas bay as the bay is full of tor
pedoes.
The reports cabled from Washington
respecting the movements of the Amer
lean army and fleet are considered as
intended to hoodwink the Spanish gov
eminent.
The latest dispatches from Havana
say it was the American war ship
Montgomery which went ashore off
the coast of Pinar del Rio and hat she
grounded on the rocks near Colonados.
According to these dispatches three
other war ships succeeded in floating
her, but the Montgomery is badly dam
aged.
There r great rejoioings in Havana
at what is described as the American
repulses at Matanzas." 1t. is not be-
lieved that'the United States war ships
will venture to attack Manila.
