wv ebration of the Fourth of July
in Rock Island Monday. this is:
neveri heless. a year when the spirit
OF Americanism finds expression only
in such outbursts of patriotism rs the
Fourth of July makes possible. No
matter how gifted or eloquent the or
ator of the occasion, it is not within
he power of man on this continent
to reach the sense that prompts the
heart and inspires the soul of the
American this year. Every man
is an orator unto himself. He knows
how he feels. and how great the, day
is more than ever before since the dark
days of the rebellion. Liberty is once
more the price of war. As has been the
case since liberty became the watch
word that inspired a people to action.
so again this year America is found
carrying forward the emblem which
stands for it. The soldier boys are
rallying round the flag Shouting the
Battle Cry Of Freedom. and over on
the parched and blood-,lrenched hills
about Santiago are joining in singing
The Star Spsngled Banner which
those same boys are 10 raise where it
will wave Ger the land of the free
and the home of the brave.
There will be no public demonstra-
ton in Rock Island but patriotism
will be unchecked. Mayor Medill
has, in the interest of public safety,
issued proclamation providing for
the enforcement of the ordinances in
the business district. but that is not
intended to lessen the prevailing
spirit of the day. or mar its proper
observance.
There will be great celebration at
the Tower, where the Tri-Citv Rail

NARROW ESCAPE OF FAGAN

Fire broke out last night at 1l.O3
o'clock in the livery stable of Charles B.
Dougherty, No. 200 West Front street.
The flames were first discovered by
Peter A. Pagan, Dominick Davis and
Joseph Townsend, who were standing in
front of Mr.. Fagan's hotel, on Front
street. The flames we're coming out of
tine roof at a poiht about 10 feet above
the caves, near the northeast corner of
the building.
Townsend at once ran to the Fame
Hose Company's house, on Second street,
and notified the company, and an alarm
was sent in from box No. "a at the same
time.
The Washington, Weccacoe, Fame and
Delaware companies responded.
Pagan and Davis in the meantime ran
to the stable and broke open the door on
Front street and aroused Robert Palmer
and Joseph Harley, two employees Of Mr..
Dougherty, who were sleeping in the
office of the stable ard who were ignor-
ant of their danger.
The work OF removing the horses, of
which there were nineteen head in the
building. proved hard job, and it was
with difficulty they were all removed in
safety. Mr.. Pagan went to the Washing
ton engine and procured a lantern and
began unloosening the animals.
The smoke was binding and the
rescuers had to feel their way from stall
to STALL All the horses had been taken
out but one, large dun. Pagan, upon
reaching the stall in which this horse

overcome with smoke and that fire was
coming down the manger from above
and the animals left ear was slowly
burning.
Heroically going to the horses head
Mr.. Fagan cut the halter. The animal
collapsed at once and falling over bore
Pagan down with him, falling on his
right leg.
For a molnent the position was un-
nerving, fire falling from above, water
pouring down upon him and half If
located horse laying upon him. But
with unusual presence of mind Pagan
dragged himself from under the animal
and stutfing a bunch of hay in his mouth
ran to the door.
The animal was finally dragged from
the burning building by the legs and
laid npon the side walk. He was later
bled and in about twenty minutes was
led to the stables of Thomas Pagan, at
Second and Orange wh.re the remainder
of the horses had been taken.
All harness and carriages were gotten
out without damage.
During the rescue of the horses Officer
Davidson was knocked by stream from
one of the engines while attempting to
remove the animals and Letter Carrier
Scheu was SO severely kicked on the leg
while performing the same duty that he
will be off his route for some time.
The origin Of the fire is unknown, as
no one was in the loft at the time.
Twelve tons OF hay, six tons OF straw
and $500 worth Of feed were consumed.
The loss is estimated at about 1000.
The stock was insured in the "Royap'
for $1,000 and the building in the
Farmers Mutual. The loss was fully
covered by the insurance.

COMING LEGAL BATTLE
Over the Opening of Elev enth Street
Objections Filed to COndemna.
ton PROCEEDINGS.

There is every prospect OF a big legal
fight over the opening of Eleventh street
from point opposite the Auditorium,
west to Adams street.
Yesterday morning City Solicitor Con
rad appeared before Judge Spruance and
presented a petition of condemnation to
the court. He was met with objections
from Victor b. Woolley, representing
William 7. Porter and Willard Sauls-
bury, representing the Hounsfield es-
tate.
Their objection was that the judge did
not have the power to appoint such a
commission on those particular properties
on the ground that they were protected
IRON such proceeding by old statutes.
The matter was held in abeyance until
Friday.
A certificate ot incorporation was grant.

crossing OF the Guiana River on the road
to Santiago de Cuba, in the rear of the
crest Of the Sevila hills and a mile and a
half back.
The Brigade of General Bates, the 32d
Michigan Regiment and a battalion OF
the Bath Michigan Regiment. which
were landed yesterday by the auxiliary
cruiser Yale, remains at. Juragua or
Siboney.
The delay in the general forward move
ment is due to the inability to get subsis-
tence stores to the front rapidly enough.
The advance, it is said, will not be or
dered until every man has three days
ratons in mis- knapsack. This, however,
is impossible until the road is passable
for wagon trains. The pack trains can
only convey one days rations in day.
The men constructing the bridge roads
have the work almost completed, and
this afternoon the first wagon train Of
four six-mule teams will go through. In
two or three days mere every man will
have three days rations in his knapsack,
and as soon as that occurs the army will
move upon the enemy.
The day has been utilized to good ad.
vantage. Although the Cubans affect to
have thorough knowledge OF the coun-
try and the trails, nothing is taken for
granted.
The whole country, front and flank, is
being thoroughly reconnoited, and an ac-
curate map has been made by the engi-
neers. Much of the information thus
obtained will be of inestimable advantage
from strategic point of view.
Last night Colonel Mendoza, of Cen
eral Lawtons staff, made reconnois-
sance up to the very trenches of the
enemy, their sentries talking on picket
duty being plainly heard.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Dispatches re-
ceived from General Shafter, which have
not been bulletined indicate that his at
tack on Santiago will not be delayed to
await the arrival of further reinforce
ments. He is perfectly confident in his
position and his ability to successfully
conduct the operations he is undertaking.
There may be some delay in the attack,
but there will be no more than is neces-
sary to get the artillery in position and
put in perfect readiness the entire force
now at General Shalter's command. The
difficulties of the cast are not underesti-
mated either by the department here or
by General Shafter The spirit of daring
adventure and impetuosity will be held
IN check, it being the determination of
General Sl,ailer, fully synpathized with
at the department, that no unnecessary
risk will be taken, and nc hardship and

upon looking at the fair faces and manly J
forms of the graduates before him he
could not believe the oft.mpeated anG
time-worn expression that the world wa'
degenerating into race of ''bowwows.' y
Continuing he said that their education
was not ended but was in reality just
beginning, and that they were well
taught il they had learned how little
they knew. That it would not do fol
the young women to sit down with
folded hands and await the coming o.
the fairy prince with his glass slipper
and golden chariot nor for the young
men to hold back and wait for opportu'
mites to come to them. The world now

use for the Micawberish sort. "Ihink,' u
said the doctor, "of young man start.

The doctor said he could never see
why a young woman should not enter in
upon profession if she felt she was
adapted to a certain line, that she could
not fail any more ANONYMOUSLY than a

have tenacity of purpose through

brooks no denial, put all energy into one
work for those that flop from one thing

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The Navy De-
partment today posted che following
bulletin giving report from Admiral
Sampson under date OF June 22 off San
tago;
'On the morning Of the 18th the bat
teries at the entrance of Santiago were
subjected to severe bombardment by
the fleet The firing was deliberate and
in general most excellent. The batteries
were quickly silenced. On the 10Th the
Texas, Marblehead and Suwanee de-
stroved the fort at Guantanamo. On the
10Th the Yankee engaged Spanish gun
boat off Cienfuegos. On the 18th Lieu
tenant Harlow, with two steam launches,
one under Cadet Powell and one under
Cadet Hart, made an examination of
Cabanas Bay. The launches were sub
jected to heavy and continued fire at
short range, and were struck seventeen
times, although no one was hurt. Lieu
tenant Harlow in his report particularly
praises the conduct OF Cadets Hart and
Powell and Coxswains O'Donnell and
Blom. On the 10Th General Garcia and
his staff visited the flagship, having ar
rived that morning at General Rabi's
camp, at Acerraderos.
"My impressions OF General Garcia are
CT the most pleasant character. He is a
large, handsome man, of most frank and
engaging manners, and of most soldierly
appearance. The fleet has, with my d.
rections, furnished arms, clothing, and
Iood to the Cuban forces, both east and
west of Santiago. Much has been done
in this direction at Guantanamo by Com
mander McCaIla, who has been most en-
ergetic in rendering them all assistance
possible. Great activity and courage
have been shown by the Cubans at
Guantanamo, and Commander McCalla,
is most eulogistic in reference to their
conduct. There are about 10000 Cuban
forces in this immediate vicinity.
"On the Goth the army transports ar
rived and General Shafter and / paid
visit to Generals Garcia and Rabi. The
process of Decentralization was rendered
difficult by heavy seas, the heaviest
which we have had during the three
weeks the fleet has been stationed here.
BY 3 O'Clock in the afternoon, however,
1000 men were ashore, and the work
was proceeding with great rapidity. The
pier was not injured and one of the
steamers went alongside of it. The water
supply was not injured. The Nesuvius
