THE BREWERS MAY FIGHT.

The brewers are members Of the Liquor
Dealers Association, but it is possible
that they will not stand by Executive
Committee, should further efforts be made
TO shift the burden of the tax. 1t is ex-
7ected, however. that the brewers will
take some steps in the matter. though no.

many responsibilities. Our own George
w. Crawford was his secretary of war.
General Scott was not only ambitious,
but he was envious of Taylor and sought
to embarrass him in Mexico by with
drawing troops from his command At
one time he reduced Taylor's force to
200 men, while he was opposed by
1000 of the enemy. His subordinate
officers advised Il retreat or falling back
to Point Isabel and there wait for rein
forcements, but Taylor said, mo, l will
advance or die in my shoes" and he did
and won n signal victory. There was
politics in war then just as there is now,
and my prediction is that neither Fitz-
hugh Lee nor Wheeler will be permitted
to make fame enough to endanger the
Republican party. War was politics in
Burkes day and it is in ours. Scott was
a brave, eXacting and accomplished Off
Ger, but was courtmartialed three times
for political effect, as was asserted by
his friends. He fell short Of his ambi-

But when regiment was going
through the city in those days-ah, that
meant something, for it was Il company
of southern prisoners being taken to Il
northern prison! The law allowed any
thing in the shape of something to eat
to be handed from the pavement to any
soldier by any person, but speech was
not permitted. When the word came my

on the curbstone and hand a cup of
coffee to the man you loved dearly, and
yet you couldn't say one word. But
many a southern girl sandwiched a note
in a biscuit, and many IL cup of coffee
had. besides its lump of sugar, good
dash of brandy thrown in it, while
many warm cape was handed over,
permission being asked of the officer in

as if he could not stand the cold much

Nirginians and were very superior com
manders. Scott was ambitious and ar
bitrary. Taylor was modest retiring,
an upright and downright man and
duty was his watchwOrd. His nOmina-
ton for the presidency was forced upon
him and grieved his wife greatly, for she
said: ''They seek to rob me of my hus-

On the delivery of this speech, the
Spanish authorities were quickly on the
alert, and the warships to put down the
Cuban revolt had sailed before Carpen-
ters resolution came to vote. But the
influential press of the country took
sides with the Senator. declaring that
the incident redounded much more to his
credit than to Summers, who had rig

CARPENTER ON THE CUBAN
QUESTION.

W ECION.
(Ainsworth Il. Spofford in the June At
lantic).
In December, 1896, Senator Carpenter
offered a resolution declaring that the
thirty gunboats then fitting out by Spain
in the ports of the United States, to be
employed against the insurgents in Cuba,
should not be allowed to depart from the
United States during the continuance OF
that rebellion. says AinswOrth tx. Spot
ford in the June Atlantic. 1t is interesting
as exhibiting nearly the same unhappy
condition regarding Cuba thirty years
ago as has recently existed.
"The Cubans are now struggling to
throw off this uncomfortable tyranny
They have appealed to the God of battles
in vindication of the malienable right OF
man to seIf-government. OF the inhabi-
tants within the district now controlled
by the revolutionists, about one hundred

thirty thousand are now actually in mil

last shot was fred at ) o'clock, and the
order to retire was reluctantly obeyed.
1t is hard to form any idea of the val
ne of the short bombardment. In con-
nection with the withdrawal of the fleet,
it must be remembered that the Admiral
had reason to expect an engagement
with the fleet of the enemy, and this COW
cred many obvious reasons for not con-
tinuing the bombardment of San Juan.
Apparently the battle was an incident
of the war, like the action at Matanzas,
proving again the lack of training OF the
Spanish and the GOODNESS and ability Of
the Americans. Only two of the several
hundred shots from the enemy were felt
by our ships.

of about 1900 yards. The guns of the
enemy were worked vigorously, but with
the usual result Not since modern rifles
with gun sights were invented has any
one seen such shooting as from the shore
batteries of San Juan. The count rose
into the hundreds, with never hit, and
IL was difficult for the commander-in
chief to prevent the smaller, unprOtect-
ed cruisers from recklessly exposing
themselves to possible destruction by
running close in to the shore. On the
American side the craftsmanship was
effective after the range was secured,
and most of the works were damaged
and the guns of the Moro silenced. Tue

Although the first search of Admiral
Sampson for Cervera's elusive squadron
proved a bitter disappointment to the
Americans, it was full of incidents inter-
esting enough to the general public.
Chief among these events was the bonn
bardment of the town of San Juan, on
the island of Porto Rico, which took
place on May L. and gave to SIMPSONS
fleet its first opportunity to engage con
certedly in actual warfare. An illustra-
ton by Chapman, reproduced to-day
from Harper's Weekly, affords vivid
picture of the affair.

approached San Juan from the northwest,
and on the morning of the 18th all hands
were called and breakfast served at 3
o'clock. The men then knew that gun
powder was to be burned, and they were

Washington Officials, However, Believe the
Bombardment Began at Noon
To-Day.
SHAFTER o OUR LOSS !
He Says the Americans Had 23O Killed, 1884
Wounded and 70 rlissing-Three Span
ish Vessels to be Raised.



Washington July 9.-At this hour, $3.50 p.
m, neither the navy nor war department
had received word from the officers in COM
mand at Santiago as to whether or not the
bombardment of that place had commenced.
According to the agreement between the
American and Spanish generals the flag of
truce was to be withdrawn at moor to-day, at
which time Gen. Shafter said he would begin
the bombardnent Of the city, provided it
had not surrendered before that time.
The army officials, although they nave re-
ceived no word to that effect, have every rea-
son to believe that shafter has kept his word,
and that hostilities have resumed.
The American position at Santiago has
strengthened and with the arrival of more
troops Gen. Shafter has increased his ability
to take the city. Delay benefited instead
of weakening the American forces. Secretary
Alger declined to say whether the attack will
be confined TO the fleet alone, but it was
learned previously from other sources that
such was the intention.
Admiral Sampson will shell the city. If
the demoralizing effect of this Commandment
does not cause the enemy to comply with
Skaters demand an attack on MORO Castle
by land and sea will be made, and Admiral
Sampson will attempt to take his ships into
the harbor-a project which, if successful,
will compel the enemy to surrender. A
landing force of marines and bluejackets will
participate in the attack on the Moro.

GENERAL MILES SAILS.
Commander of the Army Off For Cuba With
1920 Volunteers From Massa-
Chusetts and Illinois.

Charleston, July 9.-The cruisers
Yale and Columbia. with the Sixth
Massachusetts and one battalion of
the Sixth Illinois aboard, sailed before
daybreak for Cuba. The embarkatiOn
of the troops began yesterday at mid
day. They were marched to the wharf
where the steamers Commodore Perry
and Planter We're in waiting. The men
went or board, and amid the cheers Of
the spectators and the men of other
regiments steamed down the harbor In
the face of a heavy rain storm. The
work of trans-shipping the soldiers was
accomplished without mishap. BY some
mistake one company of the Sixth
Massachusetts was left on the wharf
when the steamers started. Adjutant
Butler Ames promptly chartered a tug
and took them out to the transports.
General Nelson a. Miles and his staff
arrived in the city at $50 last evening.
1t s O'Clock General Miles boarded the
lighthouse tender Wisteria and went
out to the Yale. This was in accord
ance with previously arranged plans.
The Sixth Massachusetts is quartered
on the Yale, while the Illinois men are
on the Columbia. The expedition num-
bers in all 1870 men. There are still
in the city 1000 troops, and others are
expected here from Chickamauga.
