C0RBIN SAYS SKATER HANGS ON WITH TEETH
 IN ENEMY'S NECK

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The sus- pense which followed the receipt of General Shafter's dispatch early yes- terday morning announcing that bat tie had begun near Santiago was re- lieved at 12:30 this morning when a preliminary report of the days oper- atiens was received by General Corbin from General Shafter:
 The President and the war officials are immensely pleased at the informal tion conveyed in Shafter's message. While they learned with sincerest re- gret that so many of the American troops had fallen in the fight the ground gained by the days conflict is regarded as a great victory.
 Adjutant General Corbin put the sit uation strongly and picturesquely this morning, while speaking briefly of the aggressiveness and tenacity of General Shafter. "The old bulldog," said he, referring thus alf-affeetionately to the distinguished commander of the Fifth Corps, lis lying right there with his teeth in their neck, only waiting the coming of daylight to finish the work he has so magnifcently begun.
 The engagement yesterday was very heavy for a preliminary fight, but it scores a decided victory for us. re- gret to know that Shafter has sus- tained so heavy a loss, but we may hope that there are not, as he says, many killed. It is, however, pretty certain to be true that the loss of an army in an engagement like that of yesterday, where the battle line extend ed over several miles, will be much heavier than is indicated by the first reports. It is manifestly impossible, in cases where the battle has ragged all day and until dark, to ascertain with definiteness the loss sustained"

Colonel Wood and Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt with their Rough Riders are officially criticised for their impetuosity in flashing into the fight with the Spaniards last Friday without having more carefully considered their posi- tfon. This division, I am told, will be carefully handled in the future, lest it's members again lose sight of everything in their desire for speedy. victory.

90 Q Q @ 0( (.llc @ (s)@c @ @ e Q Q ( Cervera's fleet was hurling shells in the direction of the American and Cuban lines, whose batteries Of light artillery, acting under or ders from Major General Shafter, who went to the front at the head of the troops, began the battle of Santiago by attacking Caney. From this village. a direct road leads into Santiago and the. ad- vance of our forces will be ire Sistible when they gain possession of this road.
 General Joe Wheeler, with a detachment. of his cavalry com mand, and General Garcia with his Cuban troops, quickly joined General Lawton's. men in the ad- vance upon Catley.
 The Spanfards for a time fought desperately to prevent Ca ney falling into.tfe hands of our forces. It was a vain effort. Be fore the fighting had been long under way the. American and Gu ban forces gained advanced ground. Foot byfoot the enemy was driven back into the village.
 It was evident after the first hours fighting that General Shafter had gauged accurately the strength of the enemy and that he would be able to drive the Spaniards into Santiago at his pleasure.
 It was with difficulty the com manding officers restrained the enthusiasm Of our men until the hour for the beginning of the at tack. The. enthusiasm of the American forces. was intense and their spirit quickly spread to the Cuban troops. All have shared the belief of General Shafter, that Santiago could be taken by a sharp, persistent attack, and they have been impatient to advance.
 Brigadier' General Kent, who commanded the central of the generalline of attack, started the Twenty7frst Regiment of regu- lars toward Aguadores at the same hour when General Law tons men advanced toward Ca ney. Upon these troops fell the brunt of battle to. the southeast of Santiago during the early hours of.the. day. .=. ..= "
 As I write this dispatch this di- vision, General Rents forces, has sustained the heaviest loss of the engagement thus. far.
 There was desperate fighting about Aguadores. Acting under orders from General Linares, the Spaniards at~that point returned the American fire with. a fury that aroused in our men the fercest@ determination. They boldly faced the enemy's fire, holding their: ground tenaciously and pressing forward whenever an opportunity.to gain an ad- vanced footing presented itself
 In their operations about Aguadores the Americans were greatly encouraged by the work of the fleet, which poured a heavy fire into the lines of the Span iards.. c.. :.
 Admiral Sampson ordered the : New York, Gloucester and. Su- vance to attack the batteries re- gently placed to the east of Morro. The vessels engaged the batteries at. short range and left only, scarred hillsides to show where the batteries had been To-. cated.

Lutheran Church

Last Sunday was Luther Day at the
Luthern church, and instead of the US
ual service, the morning was occupied
by the Sunday School in Home Mis-
sion Service, consisting of songs and
responsive reading and declamations,
which were not only entertaining but
instructive as to the Home Mission
work of the Lutheran church, which is
now sup porting one hundred and forty
five Home Mission churches, which in
the two years ending May 1st, 1897, re-
ceived 6, 6,496 new members, taught 90
900 children in'Sunday School, contrib
uted $21 900 to:beneyolences, and $306. :
600 for other purposes.
The pastor also gave short address on
"Home Missions the Worthiest Patriot
ism," in which he argued that Home
Nilsson W ,rk was the best promoter OF
true patriotism. "My Country 'Tis oi
Thee," was the closing song.

a strong woman, the death of her mother

darling hoy, few months ago, wore on
her delicate constitution, and she went
to North Carolina to spend the winter,
but death claimed her, and she returned
to her home only to fade away. She
leaves husband and one son who have
the sympathy of the entirs community.
The beautiful funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Campbell, pastor

The Health Boards Meeting.

The County health Boards Association
met at Educational Hall, Friday after
noon. The attendance was not as large
as was expected, and number of those
who had places on the program were
unable to be present, but several fine
papers were read, and there was an
interesting discussion of some questions
DR.. J. W. Young's paper on "Pto-
maine and Vegetable Poisons," was in
structive and entertaining.
DR.. Leonard, of West Liberty, spoke
of the proper care of meats cooked and
uncooked, and pointed out where butch
ers and dealers did not take proper care
o meats handled. His paper was dis
cussed freely, and butchers were urged
to be persistent in their efforts to secure
tb 70 utmost cleanliness. The practice oi
grocers leaving butter uncovered anc
exp osed to the odors of tobacco, cheese
vegetables, gas, oil, ETC., was freely criti-
cizsd. There are groceries that attract
Gu stom by their cleanliness, but not all.
DIR. Martin discussed Quarantine
and Disenfection," and in the discussion
by himself and others, it was urged tina
those who have been exposed to infec
tlous diseases, should be guaranteed, a
we'll as those who have the disease.
