Women.
BELLE C.. TAYLOR

any tear fills the eyes to-day,
 Many loving heart is sore, For the soldier lads who march away,
 Perhaps to return no more. Tie men go out to march and fight
 But the women stay home a,one, Waiting and watching diy and night,
 For tidingS to come from their own. Which ore can say where heaviest fails, The sorrow and trouble and care? Out in the field where the bugls calls,
 Or on the women mourning here? Men have the brunt of the igh. to bear, But over new scenes travel far, Their minds are filed with excitcment rare, And have the cOmradeship of war. But what of the women who stay at home, With naught but tie routine of life, Watching and waiting for letters to come From the men ill the far off strife? She who said farewell so brave and true, And bound h:s with tender hand, Ard held her tears til no one could know How much she gave her native lard He Il never know how much hes missed, How slow the days and nights g. by; II old worn c'ohes of his are kissed
 When only God is watching nigh A wOman's heart is broad ard deep,
 womGn's Fife noEe understand; Her 'ate in war is to wGit;.nd weep

FROM THE ROUGH RIDERS,
Letter From Arthur l.. Russell of Troop F, Has been Received.

Arthur L. Russell, member of Troop F, writes to his parents from Cuba under date of June 9. He says that the troop left Tampa on June s, and landed at Baiquiri, June ?. He says the brush is so thick that troops can scarcely get through it. Of the battle or La Quasina, the first battle on Cuban soil of American troops, says:
 We landed here on the 22d; camped that day. On the 23d We marched twelve miles and camped On the mo rning of the 24th we marched five miles and walked right square into a trap. The Spaniards were formed in a V shape, and We walked sQuare into the center oft.
 Then the fun began. There were 4,OOO Spaniards and only 750 of us; 800 of them were the Rough Riders, and the rest were regulars.
 "They opened fire on us and we re- turned the fire. We fought from five minutes of 8 o'clock in the morning till IO o'clock. We lost eight men killed and thirty-ive wounded.
 ''The grass is about two and a half feet high and it is slmost impossible to get the bodies of all the dead. When we advanced on the Spaniards they were behind a breastwork of rock and III rifle pits, hut We drove them back. They are a snap. because four thousand couldn't get away with 750, and they had all the beat of It.
 Frank Booth was shot in the shoul- der and we thought he was gone. He said: I am hit in the back, boys, but don't forget to tell them that 1 had my face towards them.' Heye Albers was shot in the hip. George ArmIjo had his left hand shot elf just above his wrist. Our cook was lying between Garfield Hughes and and he had half of hIs head blown off,"
 Russell closed his letter by saying that he was glad he was in Cnba, and the boys were confident of soon taking Santiago.

Speaking of the boys in the field and the folks at home, says an exchange, it is related that on the night before Sir Herbert Kitchener's fight at Atbara a Scotch Highlander sald to comrade' "Ah, tam, how many thousands there are at hame across the sea thinking O us the nicht." "Right. Sandy" replied the chum: land how many millions there are that don't care damn. Go to sleep. you fool" And silence fell upon the camp.

On Monday a shooting affray occurred Ia Winslow between Jesse Treat and Frank Moore Tn which the latter was wounded very seriously. It seems that bad blood had existed between these two men for some time. They met in the round house where, it is said Moore assaulted Treat with a pistol or some other dangerous weapon and a fight ensued. Moore is said to be stronger man than Treat. During the fight Moore was shot three times. Treat is we'll known here, having lived here for years, and is a quiet, well disposed young man. Moore was an engineer of the Santa Fe Pacific railroad company and has a great many friends. The sad affair is deplored. Treat had a prelim- mary hearing Monday at HolbroOk and was released by Judge Zuck.-Flagstaff Gem.

THE FIGHT AT SANTI>
 AGO.
Associated Pres: |

 Kingston, July l2th,
 | A concert movement has been made 1 by the United States army and navy on
 Santiago during the past twenty-four hours, which American officers here be-
 lieve will result in the the almost :m-
 mediate fall of the the city. The feet lying off Aguadores, three mics east of
 Morro castle, began a bombardment of Santiago on Sunday afternoon and con | tinued it this morning. Notwithstand ing that our ships had to fire at an ex
 treme elevation and although the rang i was nearly five miles, the aim was so accurate that many shells fell in the
 city and sethre toit in four places. One
 shell struck St. Michael's church in
 which quan:y of powder and a1nmu- nItIon was stored and blew it to pieces. During the bombardment from the
 sea the army extended it's lines and drew in closer to the city, so that at noon to-day every road and trail lead ing out of the city was guarded, and the escape ofthe Spanish soldiers seem ed impossible. The only way they can get out of the city is to ferry across the bay to the western side of the harbor
 and even then they could not get into
 the interior without encounter1ne
 American troops.
 During the time the warships were
 bombarding Santiago this morning the
 batteries of artillery facing on the city she!led the Spanish entrenchments, and received but feeble response, Americans sharpshOoters also sent in deadly fire and the Spaniards fell back to their last entrenchments. offering but little resistance. The Americans suffered no loss.
 At noon to-day Shafter communicated by signal with Rear Admiral Sampson. requesting the latter to cease firing. Then the general sent General Wheeler into the Spanish lines under flag of truce with message to General Toral. the Spanish commander, recitlng the Tact that the American ships bad ciy- en complete demonstration that they could throw shellsl into the city and de- stroy it, and that the American troops had the city completely surrounded, and that 1S,OOO Spanish troops and Cu- bans citizens were starving to death at hl Caney, and .pointing out that cur army had no means of feeding them. ouattes tbedaWauGed the uncoudition. al surrender Of the city and coupled this demand with the statement that unless goral acceded, an assault upon the city to.h by the land and sea forces

New York, April 26.-Cuban advices
to the Herald are to the effect that the
insurgents are forcing the fighting. The
Spanish, fearing assault by land and
sea, are hurrying their troops into the
cites.
Insurgents have appeared in force
within 80 miles of Havana. There was
a raid by them just beyond BOcade

When the dispatch boat bearing this

from a great fire, set by the insurgents,

The famous Moron-Jucaro trocha,
across Puerto Principe province, from
ocean to ocean, has been abandoned to
the insurgents, the Spanish troops
guarding it having left Moron, its
northern terminus. by boat for Nuevi-
tas, near the eastern end of the prov
iace.
The heliograph stations on the hills
of Cayo Romano keep the Spanish yes

American cruisers in the vicinity.
They are thus OF great value to the

The Spanish officers are appealing to
the insurgent forces to unite with those
of the mother country to kill and bury
the ''accursed Yankees" which they de-
clare can easily be done in so days.
The Spanish officers laugh at sugges-
tons that they can be beaten by Amer
lean troops.
The Spanish soldiers, who. until now,
have been guarding the trocha, pre-

gaunt faces and ragged uniforms, but

Washington, April 26.-Chairman
Dingley, of the wavs and means com
mittee today submitted to the house
with the war revenue bill lon- re-
port
Coming down to the proposed bond
issue he prefaces il in this way:
While all of the additional taxes are
war taxes which would be naturally re-
pealed or modified when the necessities
of war and the payment of war ex-
penses have ceased, yet it is impossible
now to place q limit on them, not
only for the reason that no one can
intelligently forecast the length of the
war, but also for the reason that war
always brings train of extraordinary
expenditures which do not terminate
with the close of actual hostilities. 1t
is evident that it will be necessary, in
order to maintain the public credit.
not only to raise the additional revenue
provided by the accompanying bill, but
also to authorize the secretary of the
treasury to borrow on the credit of
the government from time to time, as
the public necessities will require.
I'VE have given, therefore, authority
to issue ard sell, not exceeding $780,
000, 900 of ten-twent- per cent coin
bonds to be offered as a popular loan,
believing as we DO that such bond
Will be taken from time to time by
the masses of the people. We have
fixed the following years as the period
on which the bonds issued may be re-
deemed 1T the pleasure OF the United
States, not only because we regard it
necessary to 90 this in order to Sc
cure subscriptions at par for the lat
ter ISSUE but also because the fact
that the 100.000,0O0 3 per cent loan of
1904. and the large I per cent loan of
1907 would inevitably be paid or re-
funded by the government before a
3 per cent bond would be redeemed.
makes a bond that can be redeemed at
the end of ten -ears as desirable to
issue as one that can be redeemed at
the end of five years.
In view OF the fact that it will
be necessary IN a few weeks, before
the proposed war taxes can bring re-
suits ard before the loan authorized
can be placed. to provide means to
meet the rapidly augmenting war ex-
penditures, authority is given the sec
rotary of the treasury to temporarily
borrow mone-. in no case exceeding
one year. by the issue of per cent
certificates of Indebtedness. 1t is i'm
portant that the secretary of the
treasury shall have this authority in
any exigency that may arise in the
future"

Wyoming stockmen have been adj
viSed by Chicago commission houses
to withhold shipments of beef to the

The beef market is in an unsatisfactory
and unsettled condition at the present
time, and this is due in a large meas
ure to the restriction placed upon trade
by the war developments and prepara-
lions. Exporters are operating in
very limited manner, and eastern snip
perS are buying for the present needs
only. 1t is believed, while the con-
sumption of beef and mutton will be
reduced, that pork and canned meats
