Ladies SO years ago when going

their cash in their under pockets.
There were no railways opened in
Wales then, and people who had not
a close carriage either went in the

Farmers wives and market women
wore these large under pockets.

wherein, If she took me out cowslip

Of sandwiches, often a clean pima

HAVANA, Sept. IL Advices from
Matanzas report that the Cuban troops
are maintaining order and enforcing
the rights Of property with rigid sever.
ity in that district. The advices state
that yesterday afternoon colored man
named Domingo Aldma was tried by
Court-maftial and shot on the estate
Of Los Angeles for having stolen, the
day before, an OK belonging to the es-
tate. In the same district another
prisoner, Domingo Piohardo, who was
accused Of minor theft, was delivered
to the Spanish outposts at Los Moli-
nos: These acts are looked upon IS
evidencing the sincerity Of the Cuban
troops in their efforts to enforce law

ban troops throughout the island are
suffering woefully from lack Of food
and clothing, and their condition de-
mands immediate attention and relief
in order to prevent serious outbreaks

does say in effect, that the negroes
Chinese, Malays, japanese, and

Concerning the War.

July /: Direct telesraphic
communication now exists be-
tween Washington and General
Shatier's headquarters at Siboney.
General Shafter will first capture
MORO { astle, so as to enable the
fleet to take up the mines IN San
tiago harbor, and then cooperate
with the army in the reduction Of
the city of Santiago. The Ameri.
cans fought bravely in the "Bat
tie of Quasito.' Capt. Capron
and Hamilton Fish, Jr., and other
brave men were killed in the
fight.
July 2: The Americans had a
very heavy engagement which
lasted from s a. m. till sundown.
The American casualties were
about 400. but not many Of these
were killed. After much hard
fighting, they carried the entrech-
menls and drove the Spaniard>
out. The American troops are
now within three quarters of
mile of the city Of Santiago.
July 2: The Americans expect
to celebrate the Fourth in Manil-
la.
July 3: Cervera's fleet has
been completely destroyed by
Admiral Sampson. On Sunday
morning CerveIa made a bold
dash out of Santiago harbor, and
his mea fought bravely as they
advanced, but to no effect, for the
odds were too great. Not ship
of the formers fleet is left. Ger
vera and thirteen hundred Span,
iards are now prisoners, besides
many killed and wounded.
July 4: After three days of
heavy fighting Cervera's fleet has
been destroyed and Santiago is
about to surrender. Nothing now
remains of the Spanish squadron
but shattered and burning hulks.
The only thing that brings sor
row to the hearts Of the Ameri
cans is the list of killed and
wounded at Santiago, which will
aggregate over a thOusadd.

FROM VICTORY TO VICTORY.

From Friday until Sunday there
was almost continuous fighting be-
tween the Americans and the Span
isrds. For some time it had been
known to the Americans that taking
Santiago was no small affair, because
the city was strongly fortified with en-
trenchmects around which barbed
wire had been placed, there being
on the inside four parallel lines of
rifle pits. These and other obstacles
which our men had to encounter
made the undertaking very perilous

and one which required the utmost
precaution on the part of the Amer
lean officers.
At the battle of Siboney the Amer
leans were stubbornly opposed, but
finally succeeded in driving back the
enemy. The difficulty which our
soldiers had to contend with was
further aggravated by the fact that
Cervera's fleet was in a position to
shell our troops as they advanced.
Capt. Caproa and Hamilton Fish,
Jr., and other brave men were killed.
The American casualties were over
400, but there was not more than Is
per cent of that number killed. 1t
is not definitely known how many Of
the enemy were killed, but it is
thought that their loses were heavy.
Step by step our men advanced
until they were within three-fourths
of a mile of Santiago. On Sunday
morning the greatest obstacle in the
way of getting possession
of Santiago was removed when Ger
vera's fleet was destroyed. At about
9 o'clock the SpanisL Admiral made
bold dash, hoping to extricate him
self from the trap in which he had
been caught. But a1 once the Amer
lean guns were turned on him and
the fight began. In about five hours
the victory was complete, the last Of
the Spanish vessels having been de-
stroyed. This victory was of the great
est Importance to the United States,
because the fleet destroyed was the
best Spain had, being composed of
her largest vessels.
Cervera and fifteen hundred Span
ish soldiers are now in the hands of
Admiral Sampson. Besides, there
was a goodly number killed during
the fight.
Santiago is doomed. In a short
while the story of her surrender Or
her destruction will be told.
