sou of Mr.. NJ A. Clark, who for a
year past has been reading law in

an operation performed upon him
for liberation of the bowels on Fri
day last. For several weeks he had
been complaining of pain in his
stomach, and on Tuesday he helped
at his fathers warehouse to unload
go wagons Of wheat. Wednesday he
was not able to get around, and the
physicians thought the exercise had
brought about strangulation Of the

was determined upon, which was
performed by Drs. Kempf, Muel-
Ter and Salh, when his true con

on Tuesday night at IL O'Clock.

He showed them how he, were he the
Spanish general in command of the
Spanish army. would swing about and
annihilate 5000 of the American
army; it was, from the location of the
two armies, such an easy thing TO do.
AS a Spanish general he would be
obliged to kill the 5000 American sol
diers instead of taking them prisoners
because prisoners are expensive and
Spain poor. He suggested movement
for Skaters men instantly, and, then
to the establishment of President Nc
Kinley and Secretary Alger, suggested
that Shafter make a big bluff and de-
mand the surrender of Santiago! The
bluff would give a little time, would
give an excuse for the movement of
this part of Skaters army and might
win, because, in his opinion, the Span

WAR TALK.


Honor to whom honor is due.
Can anyone imagine anything more
pathetic, more pitiful. more AFFECT.
more depressing to an army, than hav-
ing its commanding officer going to
battle in a carriage because OF physi-
cal infirmities? Poor General Shafter
had had an honor and responsibility
thrust upon him that he and his Off
GERS and men under him knew him to
be physically unable to carry out.
whether or not he was fitted for it
otherwise.
At Tampa the wish of those 1900
brave soldiers, who left on the over
loaded transports, was that General
Miles had never lost battle, and felt
that he never would lose one. They
loved him as a soldier; he inspired
them by his quiet strength. General
Miles wanted to go. He felt that his
place was with his men, who had been
through so much with him. They
were as his children. as well as his
soldiers. He asked of President Nc
Kinley that he be allowed to go, but
no answer came.
A few weeks ago 1 would have writ
ten those last words differently. Since
then 1 have discovered this which 1
will say in parenthesls. President Nc
Kinley recognized the claim, and did
answer it in his own handwriting. He
gave the order that General Miles -
company the expedition, and also that,
before leaving, he make all arrange
ments for the Porto Rico expedition.
This order was sent to the war &C.
partment. 1t never reached General
Miles. 1t was lost!
These are some of the things i'm this
war that We may not know. General
Miles to this day does not know that
his prayer was granted. The fleet
sailed away without him. In a day or
two General Miles was recalled to
Washington. Slurs were started from
somewhere that-never mind that.
Military en- at Tampa waited anx-
iohsly. They all knew that leadership
at Santiago must be undertaken by
subordinates, by some one besides
Shafter. He was inexperienced as a
general. and physically unable to go
forward to take care of his men-a
generals first duty if he hopes to sue
coed. Who of his subordinates would
rise to the occasion? Then came the
ungeneral-like cablegrams which
passed the censorship for the public
with much cut out, but sufficient left
in to show to the ordinarily intelli-
gent the unofficial tenor, and that we
had great reason for anxiety. To those
who fully realized the situation it was
pitiful-pitiful for Shafter.
The battle commenced with siege
guns still aboard the transports or
back on the shore; without the troops
having had the necessary supply of
food; without water to drink, in a
strange island, in underbrush, on hill
sides, in open country, with parched
threats, half delirious from physical
suffering, and their leader, CT COM
handing officer, exhausted and help
less in the rear.
This premature, ungeneral-like man
ner OF commencing an attack may
not have been so much due to Shafter
as to the instructions received from
the war ministre in Washington. 1t

The WorIs of the ring.

The Gazette purposely misstates
the position of the Register, when
it, by implication. charges it with
desiring to repudiate the huge
debt Of more than hwndred
thousand dollars piled upon tie
county By tie bad management Of
the Republicans az office. But we
do say that 40 cents on the 500
valuation would have paid all the
current expenses of the county and
left a good balance to be applied
on outstanding orders. The excess
levied over that amount by the
County Court, was dictated and
forced upon the people by the Re-
publican Hog Combine Ring. that
they, through their tools, might
still further plumber the Taxpayers
of the county. No Democrat in
this county desires to prevent pay
ment on a single order allowed by
the Court, where rightfully and
honestly obtained.
