At Santiago, when the fight
Was raging at Its very helgh,
Along the front of Wheeler's men,
On mountain top, In tangled glen,
Amid the battles crash and jar,
A startling sound came from afar;
Long, doleful walls In trumpet tones
Bewildering chorus of shrieks and groans-
'Ye-ee fmw Ye-ee haw! Ye-ee haw!
Over the mountains II foated down
To the Spanish trenches before the town,
That startling "Ye-ee," that awful "haw,"
Like the screech of dull and rusty saw;
And the Captain Don. with poised sword,
Paused and forgot to speak the word
Retreat" Stricken dumb, that awful wall
Caused his soul TO Leap and quail
''Ye-ee haw! Ye-ee haw. Ye-ee haw."
The Cuban hid In the vines and grass.
Remembered his slothful sullen ass,
Flooding along with Its load to town,
Over the highway dusty and brown;
Measuring the way with Its clumsy feet,
And giving vent to an awful bieat;
But different from that which echoed down
To the Dons In the trenches before the
''Ye-ee hawl Ye-ee haw: Ye-ee haw~
Said the Captain Don whence. whence

From the Yankee camp" Sergeant said;

"'Tis dreadful sound. but l don't mind

The Right Of Conquest.

The general sentiment of the press
and people of the United States, an
ent our war with Spain, is "take all we
can, and keep all we get" This is
the established usage of war, and no
nation has any right to oppose, in
deed, if any have the hardihood to
dispute the American right of con-
quest. The territory of Cuba, Porto
Rico, and the Philippine Islands will
afford fine field of operation for
Yankee traffic and genius. 1t will
benefit thepeople of the United States
to be able to extend their trade and
enterprise into these islands, and the
people of the islands will be civilized,
christianized, liberalized, benefited
and helped by the contact.

Fight at Santiago de Cuba.

II HI az OuhtAN6V VIC OeADsss
Reports of an engagement of Com
modore Schley's feet with the fortifi-
cations of the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba have been coming to hand for
the past two or three days, but as
yet we have no definite particulars.
1t is known beyond any doubt that
the Spanish Commodore Cervera,
with feet of four armored cruisers
and three torpedo boat destroyers
is bottled up in the harbor, and that
feet of q. s. battleships, monitors,
cruisers and torpedo boats were on
hand, eager to destroy the Spanish
vessels. By this writing it is more
than likely a great naval victory has
been gained by the Americans.

The flag of Cuba Libre is as old as
Cuban insurrection. It's origin dates
back to 1920, when therevolt against
the tyranny of Spanish misrule was
in it's infancy. The provinces of the
Queen of the Antilles are represented
in the flag by the three blue and two
white stripes; their union in the cause
OF freedom being fittingly signified in
the single white star in the triangular
red field-the star of free Cuba.

Judge f. w. Sutherlin for Con-
greSS.
shreveport Journal

shreveport Journal
The announcement by thu Mansfield
Journal, of Judge E. w. Sutherlin, of
the circuit court, as candidate for
Congress from this district, has been
very favorably received throughout
the different parishes, and quite a
number of the most influential papers
throughout the district, including the
Shreveport Daily Times, are ardently
supporting him. As none of Caddo's
talented men seem to have aspira-
tions in this line, The Journal cordi-
ally commends Judge Sutherlin as a
man in every way suited to the posi-
ton. He is native of Louisiana,
having first seen light in the parish
of DeSoto in 1853. Hegraduated at
the State University at Baton Rouge,
at the head of his class, and entered
upon his public career in 1874, when
he was one of the foremost, boldest
and ablest advocates of the people
during the White League campaign
OF that year, that resulted in the
overthrow of the carpet-bag govern
ment of this State. Since that time
he has been recognized as one of the
ablest and most aggressive leaders of
the party, and has ever been the fore
front in times of peril as well as of
peace; and for many years was q
member of the State Democratic
Committee, and always performed
his duties ably and fearlessly. He
served with distinction as member
of the State Senate and has since
served with marked ability as a Judge
of the Circuit Court of Appeals. He
is in the prime of life; profound
scholar, an eloquent, polished, hon.
orable and refined gentleman of ex-
emplary habits, and upon the whole
is perhaps better suited for the posi-
ton to which he aspires than any
other man in the district. Without
intending to reflect upon any other
aspirant, and there are many able
and good men in the district, The
Journal commends Judge Sutherlin's
claim to the consideration of his
party and his people, whom he has
ever served with such fidelity, SINGER
ity and ability. In these times o.
peril, the nation needs ability in its
councils as well as bravery in the
army, and Louisiana must furnish heI
full quota in both respects. With
Judge Sutherlin in the National Legis
lature, the district will have man
that it will be proud of upon all oc
casiOns.

We learn that Mayor Be. Dean, of
Boyce, is prominently mentioned as
an available candidate for Railroad
Commissioner: Mr.. Dean is an ener-
getic and thorough-going business
man, and would doubtless make a
strong fight if he goes into the race.
He has many friends throughout the
district, particularly in Grant and
Rapides parishes, where his sterling
qualities are recognized by an extern
sive acquaintance.
