Gen. H. V. Boynton, chairman of the committee appointed to in ve stigate affairs and conditions at Camp Thomas, bas sent in his re- port. He states that the water is good, the ground we'll adapted for camping purposes, the hospitals located in a favorable place and that the sick have as good attent- ion as could be expected. It is thought the report will cause q sharp dispute as reports from un- official sources do not tally with his.
 Recent Hong Kong papers re- port that when the Americans cap tured the Spanish gunboat Leyte several weeks ago, 900 Spaniar ds, including sixteen priests lost their lives. They were forced on board three transports to escape the ag- gressive insurgents, and were be- ing lowed to Manila Bay by the Leyte. A storm arose, she cut her tows loose and proceeded to Manila for assistance, but before arrlvlng she was captured. The next day an American vessel went in search of the transports, but they have never been found.
 The Spanish Gov. of the Vizacay- as Islands has proclaimed himself Gov. Gen. of the Spanish Philli- pine possessions and has issued a call for all Spanish adherents to rally at Iloilo.

Merritt's last act was to-allow Agunaldo to send representative with him. Agunaldo designated hls close friend Agoncillo to act as insurgent envoy.

MORE FROM H. q.

Fine weather for work, but ra- ther hot.
 A good rain last Wednesday which was needed.
 Sam Cohen sold his first bale in Helena for l0c. per lb, It brought him $57 30 cents.
 We are sorry to state that Miss Emily Mayo improves very slowly. We hope for her speedy recovery
 Henry Fighter, insurance man from Helena, was talking mp ln- surance to the people of H. G. last week.
 We are glad to note that I. Il. Youngbleod, who had his foot cut by moving machine, is able to get about, but he has to use 2 erutch.
 Plenty of cotton open but the weather is so hot the people can not pick. Charley Banks, an en- terprising colored farmer, had a bale ginned the Fist.
 
 Misses Bessie and Addie Branch the two sweet daughters OF our W. r. Branch, returned from an extended visit in Tenn Saturday. Their visit seems to have improved their health a great deal.
 Dr. Taylor was on the sick list last week, but was mp again Satur- day. He has been feeble for sometime and is not able to do the riding he has been doing for sev- eral years. We do not know how to get along without Dr' Taylor
 Many cattle are dieing in this vicinity The people do not agree as te ee the cause. Mr. Hotweii who logs for the Brinkley Car Works lost two fine oxen worth S75.00 each, and others have lost all of their milk cows. We wish some one could get mp remedy that would stop the disease.
 It is the privilege of all men to hope. Hope moves us on to better experiences. As life and charact- CT are ennobled, tomorrow will find us on higher ground than to- day if We keep the right path
 We can rejoice in the Lord only when we keep in the path as he directs ns. It is onr duty 10 be cheerful. Cheerfulness can be cultivated, so can moroseness be nursed till 1t oyershadows every sign of gladness. There are enough good and beautiful things inthe world to engage our thoughts without allowing them to dwell upon our grievances There are good people enough for our associ- ateg, to whom we owe kind con- sideration, without making an idol of self and refusing to render to others their due. \ moping complaining person is an annoy ancc at all tunes and all places.
 Those who inspire cheerfulness by their presence are the most loved. In afflictions, or when bearing burdens from which there is no escape, our best friends are those who cheer us, and our best support is cheerful spirit. Na one whose mind and heart and hands are occupied with that which is good can be sad. Let all of us try to cultivate . cheerful spirit and cndeayor to make every body happy whom we come n con xact with.
 Best regards to all.
