S~paniards Rejoicing Over Cervera.s
Escape

Madrid, July 4.-There is great
rejoicing over Admiral Cervera's quit
ting the harbor Of Santiago. but there
is an under current of great anxiety
as to his fate.
1t Is considered preferable that he
should even succunb to Admiral
Simpsons superior forces than remain
to be sunk by General Skaters artil-
lery. General Blanco cables as fol-
lows:
No details have been received as to
the naval fight, but il is rumored that
Admiral Cervera reached a port OF
southern Cuba.
It is officially announced that the

OFF Juragua, on Board the Associat-
ed Press Dispatch Boa Dandy, Sun
day, July 8, 10 p. m, via Port Anto-
MO, ia, and Kingston, July 4, 1884 p.
m.-General Shafter today demanded
der of Santiago de Cuba
The Spanish commander CURLY and
emphatically refused. The American
general in sending his demand warned
all foreign residents out of the city
before II o'clock tomorrow morning,
July 4th) at which hour h bonn
bardment would, he said, begin. The
only notice General Linares took was
that no Cubans would be permitted to
leave tomorrow.
Tonight the men are anxious for a
general engagement on the 4th of
July, but the officers do not expect
it. The general belief is hat the
crushing of Admiral Cervera's feet
entirely changes the situation. now
that Admiral Sampson can enter the
harbor and the army and navy car
make a combined attack on the city
1t is not believed that General Shat
ter will make a decisive move until
hat question is definitely settled.
Admiral Sampson and General Shat
ter had arranged for a conference this
morning and In escort of cavalry was
at b dock here awaiting Admiral
Sampson and his staff. Admiral Ger
vera's dash for liberty compelled the
New York to leave the harbor and
rush to the scene of conflict. The con.
ference was interrupted to wipe out
the Spanish fleet, but will doubtless
be resumed.

rue COMING HISTORIC CELEBRATION.
Outline for Outing on the Black Hawk
Battle Fieid-It will be a Large and In
teresting Gathering.


The .icnic and celebration OF the
County Pioneer Association on the his
torlc Black Hawk battle field, is assum-
ing greater proportions than anticipated
when the matter was decided upon Las {
winter. At that time it was thought %
have only picnic of the local society
Now it looks as il it would take the form
of greatgcelebration, to be joined in by
people and dignitaries from far and
near. DIR. Porter hands US note 10
which he says a humber OF our citizens
are contemplating following the trail of
the noted Sac chief, Black Hawk, across
the country. The old chief aud bis
starving baud spent the night of July
30. o32, on the spot where Soldiers
Grove now stands. The plan is TO have
Reuben q. Thwaites, secretary of the
state Historical society, tell the BOYS
and girls of Soldiers Grove, and Older
pAople as well, about Black Hawk, on
Saturday evening July 30. Next day
the party will, in carriage, follow the
trail as nearly as possible to Rising Sun,
where they will dine on the spot where
on the trail in 1852 were found large
quantities Of animals bones. They Will
visit the spring near by where were
found two human skeletons. Resuming
the journey they will visit the spot near
Retreat where Black Hawk encemped
July 81, 1882, aud where the white men
next day butchered five or six old In
dams who wore brooches and were prob
ably women. They will visit a spot
nearly a mile north where Atkinson,
Aug L, 1882, encampsd from p. m. to
2 3. N. of the 2ad of Aug. They will
visit the spring where one president, one
or two governors, Albert Sydney john
ston, Robert anderson and score of
other generals, son of Daniel Boone,
and hundred men of note guenched
their thirst. In the afternoon or eve
ming, if desired, Mr.. Thwaites, who is
the author of history of the Black |
Hawk war, will tell the Retreat people |
about that affair.
The party will carefully examine the
plateau where was stationed the out
post of wicked Sacs, fourteen of whom
were killed by Capt. Dickson's epit sand |
the skeletons of twelve Ct whom were
touod by LIE Grant Sterling in 1916 |
They will explore Battle Hollow, down
which Major Ewing came whe" he found
the trail of the main body OF Indians,
while the regulars who were placed |
shead went in the direction of the Bad |
Ak, near the mouth of that river 1t is
probable that steamboat excursions will |
be arranged. 1t is a historic region;
the scenery is picturesque; the fishing |
will be good and many who can will no
doubt take an outing at that time.

Write to the Boys.

"Write Me a Letter from Home"
was the title Of ballad popular dur
ing the civil war, and it expr asses a
sentiment quite as lively now among
the boys in blue who are ct the front
or on the way thiLher. To the popu-
lar fancy soldiers life is made up of
excitement and hustle; yet whether in
camp or on the picket line every soldier
has his share of lonesome h ours, and it
is then that dreadful feeling of home.
sickness is apt to steal upon him Write
your soldier boy letter from home!
It need not be very long p. etentious
letter; but no matter how hcmely,it will
fill his heart with JOY and make the
burden of his knapsack lighter along
some weary stretch of Cuban highway
Write him a letter from home and of

home associations can recalIl 1t will

Bad Fourth of July Accident.

While the celebration was in progress
at Bridge Park, Melrose, on the Fourth,
serious accident occurred whereby at
least two young ladies may lose their
lives and number we're injured. While
the Ferris wheel, which was 10 'ded to
its full capacity was in motion the upper
car, nearly fifty fact from the ground,
broke loose from ite fastenings and fell,
striking in it's descent one or two lower
cars filled with people. The wrecked
car contained four young ladies, who
we're all severely cut and bruised, one
girl having her collar bone and arm
broken, another sustaining a slight frac-
ture Of the skull. The other occupants
escaped with general shaking up, all
being more or less iDjured.-Sparta

CAMP DoUGLAs, July 1l-This has
been our busy day. Drill this morning
aa usual and mastering this afternoon
at ] p, m. II was most impressive
scene and one We will always remember.
The boys shouted with joy when the
order came to get ready to muster.
All vas excitement in camp, Each com
pany forE4ed in twes in the company
lane, a.r1nged phabetically, and Capt
Buck passed from line TO line, and each,
with the right hand held high, took tne
oath of all glance. Only two of orr boys
failed at the finish, and 10 use camp
slang, chad cold feet All that saved |
one of these rail riding was a promise
to the boys on my part that the names
should be published. Oae of them, by |
the name of Ernie Erickson. who lives
at Melvina came mp missing inst before
noon. Gabe Espeseth dropped out OF
line just as the mastering officer appeared |
IN the lane. Gabe has made a model
soldier when free from fire water, dill
gent and prompt to OBJ y orders. A
trip down town this morning vas the
cause of all his trouble After the boys
took the oath, each signed their names
to three copies Of the muster roll, and
they belong to UAcle Sam for the next
two years
The boys were happy today when
Jack Loveless returned. His mother
wrote binl letter few days ago that
ne could not go You could hardly
imagine sadder boy. He said he
thought If he could go home he could
persuade his mother that she better con-
sent to his going. Permission was
granted him to go home to try, and to-
day he returned with the necessary con-
sent. Any p'nther should be proud of
such boy.
The discipline of the camp continues
good and our boys are doing fine. I
wish time would permit of my mention
ing many of them personally. We will
give out the the housewives" furnished
by the good ladies OF Viroqua, to the
boys today, or tomorrow
We mustered within one of full and
three above mastering strength. We
transferred two to Company L TO help
them out temporarily. The officers will
muster today or tomorrow.
Sunday brought en- enormous crowd
to camp. Many OF our Ontario friends
were here and we feasted all day on the
good things they brought us. The boys
are looking forward TO next Sunday
with great expectations. We want to
see as many home people as possible.
By the way the visitors had better bring
their dinners along, There ara some
very fine places to eat it, and plenty of
help if necessary, but few things can be
had at the village since camp rations are
limited to the necessities Of the men,
The officers of the companies that
were filed were sworn in this eve ing.
That includes uP, so we are real officers
and soldiers and no mistake. Waukeeha
company has only so men. Good many
others are short We just got another
recruit. T.oKsON SILBAUGH.

CAMP DOUGLAS, July 9.-Slnue writ
ing I have found so much more to inter-
est the people, will write again. Fri
day morning a change was made in our
tents. The large ones which will
accommodate from six to eight men beng
replaced by smaller ones which We're
calculated for four men. Owing to an
insufficient number, however, We have
to put five and sometimes six men IN q
tent Saturday morning as We were
assigned to the second battalion we had
to move our quarters and now occupy
the south side of the fourth company
street.
Friday evening as the Merrill com
paw was calling the roll, three men
broke out of the ranks and ran away
After supper they found one of them at
the depot A blanket being secured the
man was given a severe "blsnketiug "
He was tossed about and sustained sew
eral severe bruises, at one time coming
from height of ten or twelve ct and
striking on his head and shoulders The
marshal tried to stop the proceedings,
but the mob, which contained about four
or five hundred soldiers, threatened to
use him the same way if he did not
keep out. Needless to say he did.
This will probably put a stop to the
desertion of those who are leaving camp
with no excuse but cowardice.
Cur boys were greatly excited and at
the same time greatly elated over the
fact that Company NJ is to be the color
company of the Fourth regiment. We
apprecia Ge the honor, and, although there
must be great deal of danger in battle
to the ones who carries the banners,

get the positions of color bearer
