Your Friend, CHARLIE R. CLARKE.

k. $. Ellis received the follow ing letter few days ago from his son Mark St. Clair Ellis, who is at tached to the Hornet and who had just arrived at Key West with two prize ships, the steamer Bonlta-Es- tenzer and schooner Emanual Raoul, which had been captured from the Spanish:
 KEY WEST, FLA, July ?, 1898. My DEAR FATHER: 1 reached Key West safely thls morning il. charge of a prize steamer and a schooner. Perhaps you will read of my ex- plolts before you get thls, but at any rate l want you to know that l saw my duty and did it. It Is seven hundred miles to Cape Cruz where they were captured and it took four days to make the trip, towing the schooner. The steamer was captured off Clpe Cruz by the Hornet. The schooner l captured myself. She was beating into Manzanillo against head wind and tide and across bar where our ship could not reach her; she was also protected by small fort. 1 went in charge of volunteer crew to cut her out and after a hard race over six miles and against wind and tide and in the face of several shots from the fort we captured her. She did not give up until after we had hred about 100 rounds at her. Her sails were cut up and they only surrendered after some of our bull lets whizzed past the cooks ears. l then headed in toward the fort ready to return it's fire. hut they did not show up. Then we headed for sloop in hope of having an old fashioned sea fight, but she came first within reach of the Hor- net. The prizes are quite valuable and If condemned by prize court will bring considerable for me. ne captain Of the Hornet cOnSld- ereo the Benito very dangerous ship to bring in as the crew were all Spaniards but l had tour men arm ed night and day and the crew caused me no trouble. In fact when assured that they would not be shot or sent to dungeon they were very friendly. Navigation was source of much anxiety to me and scarcely slept during the four days. There were twentv-slx Spanlards on this ship and they might have overpowered us had 1t not been that they were covered with revolvers all the tune.
 Now l regret to say am in quarantine ant will Tot he able to

reloin my sh'p for about three weeks. This is matter of deep regret to me as it makes me loat while the war IS on. Wild excite mcnt prevails here on account of reported yellow fever. I was with the landing of the troops, and our ship tore down the Notifications of Alteres. It was great sight to see all the ships firing. was at Guantanamo when the Marines first landed, they were firing there nearly all the time and the Texas and Marblehead came near beng blown to atoms by mines, forum ately the southern sea grows barn. acles quickly and the growth on the plungers saved two of our ships. At Santiago we were under fire and on the night of the 26th were r.. cornoiterlng within 500 yards of Moro. It was rather uncomfort- able at first but l soon grew accus- toned to It and nearly went to sleep on watch. We have been block ading Manzanlllo and the Hornet is still there. It IS a bad time to be shelved now but I will have to grln and bear It. 1 am no. too well so the rest will do me good after all. 1 expect to go from here to Mullet Key in Tampa Bay tomorrow, but address all let ters to me to Key West. 1 re- celved letter from you dated about the 10th and t was a great pleasure to me to know that you are well tor you must know that ] have been very uneasy about your health.
 The people in Havana are starv- ing, meat is s4.00 per ID. The cargo l brought up on these two vessels would have brought an enormous sum if allowed to enter Manzanillo. Besides the ships 1 obtained important information concerning the enemy. The war will not end before October and the yellow fever will play sad havoc with our troops. Give love and best wishes to all the family.
 Your loving son.
 MARK ST. CLAIa ELLIS.

 CHICKAMAUGA PARK, LITTLE. Ga, July 10, 1898. Mir. John P. Stafford, Springdale, Ark, Dear Sir and Friend: 1 will write you letter tonight to let you hear from us boys. We are all we'll and en- joylng ourselves. Have plenty to eat. The recruits arrived here yes terday. One os the recruits by the name of Hoskinson got hls hand cut pretty bad this afternoon while lifting the water barrel out of the wagon. Capt. Long is all right and all the boys get along fine with him and the boys are all kind to each other. Us recruits had hard tack, canned beans and canned beef to eat from Fort Smith. We run out of ratlons at noon Friday and had to do without two meals. Itl was a little tough on us but we had to grin and bear 1t.
 The most of the recurlts have part of the their uniforms and some have full uniform. It IS sure nice to see the boys out drilling. The First Regiment has a fine band. The recruits were on the road two nights and the last night We had to take the depot platform for bed. There was 3l boys strung out asleep on the platform at Chattanooga. We'll, I will close. Please send me THE NEWS every week. With regards to you and all my triedds, l will close.

CAMP uALGEE, FALLS CHURCH, VA, July 9, 1898. DEAR FRIEND JonN: As we were making out our reports for the month of June, I could not find time to write last week, but I will try and make up for 1t today.
 Last Saturday Regimental Q. M. Lamb and myself took two days off and went to Alexandria, Na., Mt. Vernon, Baltimore. Md., and Washlngton, D. c. We left the camp about "a. m. At Alex andria we first visited ''Christs Church," Washington and Lees old church. We saw both their pews, and took a seat and rested III Gen. Washington's. We saw his bible printed in l767, hls prayer book printed in 1795, his old con tribution basket that he used hlm, selt, and also saw the papers that showed that he paid 36 lbs. and lc shillings for bis pew. The church has been improved some since his day. The next place we went to see was the house where Llelt. Ellsworth was killed. He was the first man killed in the last war. We then took the electric car for Mt. Vernon. There we had to pay 25c entrance fee. We first went to the flower garden. In there we saw the box.wood designed by Gen. Washington himself. Then we went to his home. We went all through this. We were in the room where he died, the one where his wife died, and saw his old uniform and citizens clothes. We read letter from La Fayette to Gen. Washington dated Dec. :, l776. It read as follows:
 ''On the condition above men toned, offer myself and promise to depart when and where Mir. Deane snail judge proper, to serve the said states with all possi- zeal without any reward or special appointment reserving only to my self the liberty to return to Europe when my family or my king shall recall me
 Done at Paris this seventh day of Dec. l776."
 (Signed), Le Ms. de La Fayette. We saw the original key to the old "Basule Prison." After going through the house we went to the old tomb. Then we went down to the rlver and at N. III. we took the steamer "Chas. McAllister" for Baltimore. We did not stay there long as we only had little tune.
 Saturday We went to the White House i've stood out Tn front and heard beautiful concert by the Marine Band. This was the best part of our trip. The music was grand. It was almost as good as the Springdale band could do. l understand you have your new unl- forms. l hope you are all pleased with them.
 Our sick list here IS not as large as 1t was for awhile, although there are several cases of sickness in our regiment. The Brig. Gen. gave two of our boys dishcnorable dis- charges yesterday. This is the first time anything like this has oc- cured since we have been in can D. l hope it won't happen again. We are under orders now to leave any day. We are all equipped and there is snothlng to hold Us. We don't know yet where we will go. Will write you that later. l will now ring off and eat my dinner
 Give all the folks my regards. 1 am as ever,
 Your Friend,
 CHARLIE R. CLARKE.

Quit Coughing.

John Temple Graves, of At
 lanta, Ga, lectured Friday
 night, his subject being "The
 18th Century Woman" It
 was excellent. On Saturday
 at l a. m. he lectured again,
 his subject being ''The Rule of
 the Demagogue," and it was
 one of the grandest things ever
 heard in this or any other com
 munity. Mir. Graves is never at a loss for something to say, and his language is beautiful to hear. His tribute to Wash lngton, Lee, Grant. Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, and other dis tinguished men of our country who have gone to their reward. was a beautiful picture of word painting and the man whose soul was not stirred by it had no sentiment in his makeup. At the close of his lecture he paid a high compli, ment to the energy and enter prise of Prof. Shinn, saying that this was the only chautau- qua in the United States where one man assumed the responsi- bility of it's conduct. His ut terances were appreciated alike by Prof. Shinn and the of SpringdaDe.
 Col. Geo. w. Bain's lecture Monday night on the subject, < Among the Masses, or Traits of Human Character" was al gem. A large crowd was pres ent, and Col. Baln had the closest attention of everyone from beginning to the end, and there was sigh ofregret when he concluded. IL dld not seem half long enough. Col. Bain's lecture was a popular lecture in every respect, and one that a person could appreciate and enjoy, It was of the people and for the people. His Ian gnage was beautiful and his illustrations striking. InI speaking of the man who is all brain and no heart he said: His brain shines above his II bosom like an electric light in a graveyard" In another DOT ton of his lecture in which he cautioned his hearers 10 be i slow to anger he used this ex- presslon: "A little anger let loose Tn a field of nature is as destructive to human character IS a cyclone in a prairie town" Col. Bain Is from Lexington, Ky, and is enc of those genial l gentlemen who be !

Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls,, of Kansas, lectured Wednes- day night and the reputation of this distinguished gentle man served to bring out the largest crowd yet in attend ance at the chautauqua. It was a scholarly address and an intellectual treat, but was hardly what the people antici pated. Having heard and read so much of his eloquence, cutting sarcasm and bitter in vective when in debate with a foeman worthy of him, they naturally expected something spiced with pepper and ginger A minister preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ could not have been more serene and unruttled. Senator Ingalls, resembles very much newspaper pictures seen of him and his head is white with gray hairs. He wears glasses constantly. Senator Ingalls, was met at the train by the band and reception com mittee, consisting of Mayor Chapman, w. T. Farrrr, Dr. John Young, A. l.. Thompson and James Welton.
