WASHINGTON. July 15.--Sccretary
Alger says the Porto Rican expedition
will go forward i'm mcdiatcly. 1t will
comprise new men entirely. The war
riors in the trenches before Santiago
have distinguished themselves and it
is not deemed prudent to bring them
in unnecessary contact with new
troops in view of the dangero of spread
inc contagion. The sick soldNt.'s will
be nurscd back to health and brought
to the United States as soon as they
can safely be removed. Immune reg
iments will be ordered to Santiago to
garrison the town, two of these regi-
ments being already under orders to
proceed. The Porto Rican expedition
will be commanded by General Miles
in person. though General Brooke, now
in command at Camp Thomas. is eX-
pected to be his main dependence.
The size of the expedition will depend
upon General NIiless wishes. although
it is believed that $1,000 men will be
sufficient Tor the purpose. At San
Juan, the navy will be Of greater
assistance than it was at Santiago,
owing to the possibility of approaching
the town more closely without risking
contact with mines

TRY TO Raise Coal Prices.

DIES MONIES, July 14.-Fifty Iowa
coal operators met in Des Moines in an
attempt to raise the price of coal in
Iowa, but they were unsuccessful
owing to their failure to secure the CO.
operation of all the principal mines.
The ]. NJ. Christy mine, one of the
largest in the state. located in Polk
county, and all the Webster county
mines refused to come into the agree
ment The Webster county mines re-
fused to come in because they now
have the advantage of the market
being nearer to them and because they
do not need the protection of combi-
nation. The operators present formed
a state organization, of which W. W.
Oliver, of Centerville, is president and
John Gibson. of Des Moines, is secre-
tary. The object of the organization
is to secure favorable legislation, bet
ter rates of transportation and higher
priceS for coal.

Rain of Death From the Oregon.

PLAYA DEL ESTE, July 13.-Some
idea of the awful rain of shells poured
into the doomed Spanish squadron on
the morning of July 3 by the pursuing
American warships may be gained
from the number of shots fred from
battleship Oregon. This number also
bears out the statement of the Spanish
officers that it was the fire from the
secondary batteries that drove their
men from their guns and forced
the ships to beach. From the
time when Private O'Shay. of
the battleship Oregon, fred the
FIRST shot from her forward 6-pounder,
until the Cristobal Colon turned to-
ward the shore, the Oregon fired 1,776
shells. OF the 1.G70 were from her g.
Founders. The big 13-inch guns were
fred thirty-four times. the s-inch guns
twenty-eight times and the 6-inch
twenty-four times. The one-pounders
were fired twenty times. The destruc-
ton caused by some OF the shots was
fearful. One s-inch she'll, which pene-
trated the turret of the Almirante
Oquendo exploded and killed every
person inside. blowing some to pieces.

Santiago from the sea, the United

Indiana participated in the firing, at
Intervals of five minutes. The bonn
baroment lasted for two hours, when
Gen. Shafter reported that the shells
we're mostly falling in the bay and

church in the heart of the city which

The Hughes Murder Trial.

MASON CITY, July 13.-The trial OF
Mrs. Lottie Thomas Hughes for the
murder of her husband is now on.
Edward Hughes died April II. from
what was supposed to be heart failure.
Four weeks after burial the body was
exhumed and the stomach examined by
Prof. Haynes, of Chicago, who found
strychnine therein sufficient to cause
death. One hour before death Mrs.
Hughes gave him what was supposed
to be salt. Hughes health had al
WAYS been the best. The state will
endeavor to prove that Mrs. Hughes
was infatuated with Jesse Gould, and
that in order to elope with him she
poisoned her husband.

CLINTON, July 1.-the city OF Clinton
has demanded of Clinton county the
bridge tax for the past ten years The
amount claimed will reach nearly SO

visors on all property in Clinton coun-
ty, including that in the city of Clinton.
Pending the settlement in the district
court the county treasurer refuses to
pav any more warrants on the bridge
funds.
