When viewed this morning the ex-

was terrible beyond picture, his eyes
protruded from his head, much as

strangulatiop, Che upper teeth were
imbedded in the lower lip, the lines
in the face were drawn, and the
cords in the neck were swollen to
twice their normal size The feet
and limbs were drawn closely 10 the

History of Naval and Land Campaign

History OF Naval and Land Campaign
at Santiago.
Washington, July 14,-By cap
turing Santiago the American forces
have ended campaign which began
nearly two months ago,
Admiral Cervera's fleet first re-
ported in Santiago harbor on May
10. Commodore Schley was sent
thither with the flying squadron.
He reported five days later that he
had Cervera bottled in the harbor
and that the Spanish fleet would
never get home.
Admiral Sampson gathered his
most formidable warships about the
harbor. and a constant watch for
the Spanish fleet was kept up. This
effort was rewarded on July 3, when
Cervera attempted to escape from
the harbor and his entire fleet was
destroyed.
Operations by land against San
tiago began on June IL, when 800
marines were landed from the Mar
b!ehead at the entrance to Guanta-
namo Bay. It was the plan to estab-
lish base there. This plucky band
was attacked night and day by the
Spaniards, and four Americans, the
first to die on Cuban soil, were kill
ed. The marines could not be dis
lodged from their position, and the
| Spaniards finally retreated.
It was then decided to land the
invading army nearer to Santiago,
and Baiquiri was chosen as the
place for the debarkation. There
ii, 564 enlisted men and 773 officers
were landed on June 81 and %.
This expedition was under command
of Major General William R. Shat
ter.
The army's progress was opposed
every foot of the way from Baiquiri
and Siboney to San tiago. There
was fierce fighting from June "a,
when the rough riders were caught
in ambush at La Quasins, to July l,
when Ell CaneY and San Juan, the
city's principal cutter defenses. were
captured by our troops
After the Spsniards had lost Ell
Caney and San Juan hill their only
hope lay in Cervera's feet. When
that was destroyed, two days later,
the surrender or destruction of San,
tiago became only q question of
days.
Major General Miles, head OF the
army, took command On July II.

only one of several which Admiral
Dewey interpreted as menacing
United States interests. Admiral
Dewey forthwith delivered TO Ad-

strongly worded protest, with an
intimation that he had felt it his
duty to refer the matter to Wash

The Coast Defences.

One half the number of improved
cannon, motars and emplacements
will be located and placed in suita-
BILE position ere the expiration Of
1898. The Artillery Board is con-
stantly making practical surveys,
so far as these relate to the army,
and the establishment of adequate
military protection of our seaboard,
frequently urged upon the govern
ment by the chambers OF commerce
of our maritime cities, is receiving
a strong reinforcement from this
source. Meanwhile there is d
means of defence from greater
physical calamity which no one
afflicted with nervousness or dys-
pepsia should neglect, and that is
the use of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which by restoring the
tone of the nerves and stomach in
vigorates the entire system. 1t
also remedies and prevents iHalari-
al, kidney aud rheumatic ailments,
and cures biliousness and constipa-
ton. 1t is capital appetizer, and
promotes sound repose. Those
who have been cured by it speak in
no uncertain tones as to the effect
iveness of this celebrated medicine
in disease and as a medicinal slim

Spring Races.

Little Rock is painting the state
red with its announcement of an
eight day racing meet to commence
there on the Goth of March. This
calls to mind that we have one OF
the fastest tracks in the United
States at this place and at one time
had very successful race meeting.
Why the managers threw up the
sponge after this we have never
learned. If we would take the
money that is put into base ball and
expend it in premiums on a horse
fair here, it would draw thousands
of people with fine stock to exhibit
aud would bring us in something,
while on the other hand base bal
does not even draw a crowd of city
people sufficiently large to pay the
expenses of the games. II we have
money to invest in amusements, lei

PROSPECTS FOR WAR GOOD.
The North Atlantic Squadron Under
Sailing Orders for Cuban Waters

Washington March 11-Much
sooner than has been anticipated
the United States and Spain may
be involved in war. The president
received reports from a member Of
the court of inquiry showing that
the battleship Maine was DESTROYED
by hidden mine, probably laid by
Spanish official agencies. A great
deal of new light is shed on the
catastrophe by this report and
collateral happenings.
The president has determined to
act vigorously and without further
delay in enforcing indemnity and
bringing about the independence of
Cuba. To this end, aud in view of
the movement of a Spanish fleet
from Cadiz for Cuba, he has placed
the North Atlantic Squadron under
sailing orders. 1t is certain the
whole squadron will leave Key West
for Havana, but just when has not
not been determined.
The events of the day tend to
strengthen the conviction that
collision between American and
Spanish forces Is inevitable and that
the first blow may be struck within
a week.
