YANKEE DEWEY.

Yankee Dewey sailed his boats
Down in Manila Bay, sir;
He found the Spaniards on their floats,
And blew them all away, sir.
Yankee Dewey, keep it up;
O Dewey, you're a dandy!
Yankee Dewey, keep it up;
Yes, Dewey, you're a dandy!
Then, Yankee Dewey sent us word,
And this is what he said, sir:
We've sunk their gunboats, every one,
And not a Yankee dead, sir!

of 80 centimetres, and the batteries,
as well as the Cristobal Colon, kept
up an incessant responsive fire. Two
shots landed on the after part of the

The American squadron withdrew at 3

hourly at Santiago. The Spanish au-

A freight train on the ST.. Paul road,
No. ", due in Madison at 11:4O p. M,
was wrecked on the university farm
west of the city at 1880 Wednesday
night. It was just about to pull into
the city and Engineer John Fitzgerald
had partly shut off the steam when
the train apparently broke in two.
Seven cars were derailed, but the en-
CINE and caboose, in which the train
men were riding, remained on the
track. Conductor James Luft, in
charge of the train, said that the only
way he could account for the wreck
was that the coupling between two
of the cars had broken. Several pas
sengers were in the caboose. The
work of clearing away the wreckage
and getting the track in shape for use
continued all night. The freight
passed the Prairie du Chen passen-
ger bound west at Middleton.

Naval Authorities Credit
RumOr of Santi-
ago Smelling.
But They Hear Nothing
From SChley or
Sampson.
Official Notice of OCCupa-
ton of Cuba, Porto Ri
co and Philippines.

Washington, June 2.-The naval
officials were considerably mys-
titled throughout Wednesday by
the reports of an engagement off San
tiago. At the outset there was COM
plete skepticism and a disposition to
treat the reported action as a myth.
Gradually as the day advanced the
corroboratiye evidence coming in from
many quarters, including official an
nouncements from Havana and Ma
drid, led the officials to concede that
some engagement had taken place,
although they did not regard it as a
serious one. No bulletins were is
sued by the war department during
the day, and at the close of office hours
it was stated that no dispatches from
Commodore Schley had been received
during the day. There is reason to be-
lieve, however, that the department
received Indirect adyices through the
state department, possibly not bearing
out the detailed press dispatches, but
sufficient to indicate that an engage
ment of some kind had occurred at
Santiago. The impression obtained
during the afternoon that in the exc
cution Of general instructions to COM
manders on the CuoaD coast to pre-
vent the construction or strengthening
Of batteries by the Spanlafds, Commo-
dore Schley, observing that work of
this kind was going on at MORO
CASTLE had drawn MS fleet close
enough to stop it. The statement
from Madrid, of the acuteness of the
financial stringency there and the
plain intimation that the bank of Spain
and consequently Spain were nearing
the end of their financial resources is
regarded at the state department as of
more real significance than the many
stories of battles that have been COM
ing over the cables for the past few
weeks. The effect of this notice may
be to hasten operations against Porto
Rico, lest the prize slip from our
grasp through a sudden and unex-
pected termination of the war.
For the first time since
the beginning of hostilities there
appears to be something in the
nature of an official statement OF the
plan of campaign of the United States
government. This is contained in a
letter of Secretary Alger to the speak
er of the house transmitting certain
recommendations and the statement
of General Ludlow which disclosed
the purpose of the war department to
send 10000 men to Cuba. 10000 start
at once and the remainder as soon
as they can be made ready for de-
parture. Then there was an estimate
for the establishment of electrical
I communications in connection with
the army lin Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines showing for the
first time officially an implied inten-
ton on the part of the government to
land troops in Porto Rico.
Inasmuch as the secretary says that
the second contingent of troops is to
go forward as soon as they can be
gotten ready, it is assumed that they
will see active service with the
invading armies.

SPAIN IN TIGHT FIX.
Lack of Funds May Prevent Contin-
uance of the War.

Madrid, June 2.-The attention of
the public is absorbed in the condi-
ton of the Bank of Spain, which is
considered more serious than any re-
verse of the war, inasmuch as the
impossibility of the bank to help the
government means impossibility to
continue the war. There was a long
procession at the bank during all Of
Wednesday. All classes were repre-
scented. Many women were in the line
waiting their turn to change notes
into silver, fearing that the notes
would soon be subjected to dis
count. If the run continues there is
danger of the banks store Of silver
becoming exhausted. The financial
outlook is dark The government
has entrusted the bank with negotia-
tions for a loan of a billion pesetas at
per cent. to be raised when required.

posed of fourteen ships of which one
appeared to be the New York and flew
the flag of Admiral Sampson, and a
few torpedo boats opened fire on the

and forts of Ell MORO, Zocapa and
Punta Gorda. The cannonade was very
brisk up to 5:45. Shells fell in
the bay, but did not reach the town.
After 9:45 the cannonade weakened

ceased firing after 4 o'clock in the at

Jacksonville, Fla, June 2.-Drill

Friday morning the work was lieu

Jacksonville, Fla, June 2.-Acting
upon orders from the headquarters at
Tampa, the press censor here Wednes-
day MADE his rules much more rigid
than they have been and the transmits
sion of anything relating in the re-
hottest degree TO the movement OF
troops is now forbidden. His instruc-
lions will not permit camp gossip or
incidents which might tend to show
the possible movements OF the army.
New rifles 10 me number OF z4O were
distributed to the men of the first
Wednesday.
Considering the hardships that they
have to undergo, the boys are taking
army life very philosophically. When
it is remembered that they have to
sleep on the ground with little moss
or d few boughs for bed, and have
to eat food that is very plain and
work in the hot sun, to say nothing
of enduring dozens of little incon-
yeniences and annoyances, it will be
seen that they havo good reason for
disliking the life, and yet few of them
complain. There are no doubt many,
who in their heart of hearts wish they
were we'll out of it, but very few of
them are bold enough to avow it.
Those who do get no sympathy. In
one company there is big fellow who
is genuinely homesick, and the boys
make life a burden for him. They
have been bringing in fake dispatches
about an immediate invasion of Cuba,
and pretended to read all sorts of
bIood-curd1ing stories about the dan
gers of the invasion, all of which ag-
gravated the big fellows troubles. If
he we're small he might get some SYM
pathy, but being big he gets nothing
but guying.
Co. H is now luxuriating in the
possession of a real washtub. Having
grown tired of washing their clothing
at the hydrants and in pals, the boys
went on foraging expedition and Sc
cured number of oil barrels. By cut
ting each barrel in two they provided
themselves with very serviceable tubs
and hereafter the company will shine
in clean clothing. Company H, which
comes from Monroe, has erected
high f1agpOle on it's street and has
hoisted a large flag that it bought.
Beside Chaplain Varney's tent is a
tall pine tree, which the chaplain is
going to have converted into a fagpole.
When it is done his flag will fly higher
than any other in the camp, which
will not necessarily prove that the
chaplain himself is a high flyer.
''Poor john" Col. Schadel's colored
cook, is having hard time of it in
"de south" He cannot understand
Jacksonville what he would in Mil
waukee, and he meets with frequent
painful rebuffs. He saunters into a
place of amusement and is aston
ished when he finds that he has to
get out. 1t pains him to discover that
he can only go where the white men
will let him.
Pie vendors do a great business at
camp. There are no frills on the food
given to the soldiers, and the boys
never miss an opportunity to buy del
icacies when they have money. Some
OF them have an inordinate appetite
for pie. 1t does not matter what IS
inside the pie so long as it is pie, and
there is no division of pie-every
man must have whole one for him
self.
