Everyone in the Scrap.
Indianapolis, Aug. Shortly after
the great naval victory off Santiago, in
which Cervera's fleet was pursued and
destroyed by the American vessels of
war under Commodore Schley. Capt.
John Schley, cousin of the commodore,
wrote a letter of congratulation for
the victory won. To-day he received a
reply, which, in part. was as fol-
lows:
Flagship Brooklyn, off Santiago de
Cuba. July %, 1S9S.-"My Dear John:
The victory of July 3. so complete in
results and so rich in glory for u
country, was the joint product Of every
one fortunate enough to be engaged,
and I ought rather to hank you in
their name than to appropriate the con-
gratulations to myself.
Surely, IL was large enough TO win
laurels for all, and i assume no other
pride in ii than that the lucky place Of
this ship in the line was where the first
heavy assault was made and after
wards. by her speed and her direction
to keep in the scrap to the fin
ish."
THE sweetest thought and the
greatest s~atisfaction comes from the
fact that our conduct that day has
won the peoples love and earned the
nations admiration. IL is this which
encourages us in the public defense,
no matter with what risk to ourselves.
If IL means peace to our beloved land
and permits us TO return to our loved
ones n TO our people Il efforts were
well directed"

CAUSING TROUBLE.
General Merritt Finds a Very Unsatisfac-
tory Condition.

General Merritt Finds n Very Unsatisfsc-
tory Condition.
Washington, Aug. General Merritt
has again cabled the war department as
20 the situation in Manila, which he
ind very unsatisfactory and dangerous
owing TO the attitude of the insurgents.
In the opinion of Merritt, the attitude
of the insurgents there is similar to that
assumed by Garcia's Cubans upon the
question OF their right to enter and pos
sess themselves of the city, although in
this case the insurgents are a very much
more formidable element, being not only
more numerous. but better armed,
and filled with following the
numerous victories over Spanish foes.
Merritt. however, indicates he will do
his utmost TO protect the citizens from
the savagery of the insurgents, though
the task is a delicate and difficult one
because of the fact that he must, while
fighting the Spaniards. be ready at any
moment TO repel the insurgents. The
general gave notice he was about to
combine with Dewey in a joint demand
for the surrender of the city. thus fore
stalling the insurgents. and this move
ment may cause a rupture.
1t is possible in view Of the fact that
Merritt's cablegram was sent from Ca
vite last Thursday tina this movement
has been made already by the COM
bined American military and naval
forces, although there Is some doubt on
this point on account of the statement
from Merritt that he will receive all his
soldiers before attacking. 1t is possible
the demand might be made without be-
ing followed by an attack, which may
be deferred until all the troops have
reached Cavite. Up to the date of the
report Merritt had with him about $4,000
soldiers. In all seven expeditions have
left San Francisco and IL is the inten-
zion TO furnish Merritt at least 5000 men
more than his present force. IL he de-
lays his attack until all these have
reached him Manila may not be taken
before September. The last OF the
troops have not started from San Fran
cisco.

Lieutenant on the Fern Describes Destruc-

Lieut.. John H. Porter, of the United
States ship Fern, witnessed the de-
struction of Cervera's feet at San
tiago. He writes an interesting let
ter to his wife at Moline describing
the fight. He says among other
things:
"At 1915 we saw the nose of the
first Spanish ship being poked out of
the harbor mouth. and almost at the
same instant saw the smoke from one
of the big guns of the Oregon, fol-
lowed almost instantly by that from
the other ships, all beginning to close
in upon the shore. One after another
the Spaniards came from the bottle
until we counted six. the last two
being torpedo boat destroyers. In
about half an hour five of the Spanish
ships were destroyed. The Colon
succeeded in giving our people quite
o run, hut had to succumb to the in
evitable. The Spaniards
are without souls, and fight like
devils. They fire on the Red Cross,
shoot the nurses. and enter the tents
and slay the wounded. This is fact. "

Proposes to a Kentucky Woman Who is
Disappointed There.

Disappointed There.
Disappointment has met the efforts
of Miss c. A. Bellamy, pretty Ken
tucky young woman, to find hus-
band in Kewanee.
Miss Bellamy engaged in CORE
spondence with Robert Orrey, a
farmer living near that city, and who
is 60 years old, with view of mar
riage.
They became known to each otEer
through the agency of 4 matrimonial
bureau. and Orrey represented that
he was young bachelor. whereas he
is IA married man, with several grown
children. He persuaded Miss Bellamy
to leave her home at Buchanan, XIV.
and come there, promising to marry
her upon her arrival.
The young woman reached Kewanee
Thursday, and as no one met her, she
proceeded at once to Orrey's home.
When she met him and realized his
age and saw his broken-down habita-
ton her disappointment was intense.
She returned to town and put up a,
the hotel.
When her story became known a
man by the name of Baker, living
north of the city. called at the hote
and offered himself in marriage.
Miss Bellamy, however, did not ac
cept him at once, but is now looking
up his record and reputation. The
young woman is good looking and
attracts much attention. Her famil,

OPERATIONS TO GO FORWARD

To be Put In This Fall as Hereto
fore Announced-A Fine Season for
Public Improvements Will the Present
Prove to BE in a Great Many Re-
spects.
Mayor Medill has given orders that
the levee surveys be completed with
all possible dispatch. The stage of
the water is now such that there need
be no further obstacle on that score.
The mayor realizes this and the work
will be taken in hand with a determi-
nation to get it done this season with
out fail in accordance with the plans
heretofore announced. There will be
no more quibbling over this all i'm
portant Improvement. The people
have suffered a public disgrace long
enough through the retarding tactics
of selfish corporate interests. First
avenue property holders submitted
cheerfully to the paving of their
thoroughfare with the express under
standing that this was but the pre-
liminary to the Improvement of the
entire river front. Mayor Medill pro-
poses that faith be kept with them
and that a public eyesore shall be
no longer tolerated.
Big Year for Improvements.
The levee will not be the only great
improvement this year, nor the least
of those assured The reservoir is
going ahead. There is to be
some more paving of principal
streets where it is greatly needed, and
altogether the roundup at the end of
the season will show as much progress
as has ever before been made in IA sim
gle year. Rock Island is again at
that point where she believes in the
sentiment of the sweet juvenile ad-
monition to give every. passing
