REPORT FROM SAMPSON.
The Rear Admiral Tells OF Operations
Upto the Landing Of the Troops
his Impression Of Gen. Garcia.

The Rear Admiral Tells OF Operations
Up 10 the Landing Of the Troops
ais Impression Of Gen. Garcia.
Washington, June 2e.-The fol-
towing report from Rear Admiral
Sampson, under date of June 20,
was made public today by the Navy
Department:
"On the morning of the 10Th the
batteries at the entrance of Santa
go were subject to- severe bonn
bardment by the feet. The firing
was deliberate and in general most
excellent. The batteries were
quickly silenced. On the 18th the
Texas, Marblehead and Suwanee
destroyed the fort at Guantanamo.
On the 10Th the Yankee engaged a
Spanish gunboat off Cienfuegos.
Con the 18TH Lieutenant Harlow,
with two steam launches, one I'M
der Cadet Powell and one under
Cadet Hart, made an examination
of Cabanas Bay. The launches were
subject to heavy and continuous
fire and were struck II times, al
though no one was hurt, Lieuten-
ant Harlow in his report pcrticu-
larry praises the conduct Of Cadets
Hart and Powell and Coxswains
O'Donuell and Blom.
"On the 10Th General Garcia and
his staff visited the flagstaff, hav-
ing arrived that morning at Gen.
Rabi's camp at Aserradero. My
impressions of General Garcia are
of 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 directions, fur
nished army clothing and food to
the Cuban forces, both east and
west of Santiago. Much has been
done in this direction at Guanta-
namo by Commander McCalla, who
has been most energetic in giving
assistance.
"There are about 10000 Cuban
forces in this immediate vicinity.
On the goth the army transports
arrived and General Shafter and l
paid visit to Generals Garcia and
Rabi. The process of disembarka-
ton was rendered difficult by
heavy seas, the heaviest which we
have had during the three weeks
the fleet has been stationed here.
By 3 in the afternoon, however,
a. 900 men were ashore and the
work was proceeding with great
rapidity. The pier was not in
iured and one of the steamers went
up alongside of it. The water
supply was not injured. The YES
uvius has done almost nightly fir
ing since she has been here, the
explosion of the shells producing
very great effect.

FOURTH EXPEDITION
To the Philippines is Almost Com
pIeted-TrOOps Drilling.

San Francisco, June 3o.-Prep-
arations for the fourth Philippine
expedition are almost completed.
The troops at Camp Merritt are
equipped and are drilling FIVE hours
a day. Commissary stores for an
other expedition can be obtained
and put abroad vessels within a
short time. The sole cause Of de-
lay is that on account of chartering
vessels and the necessity of reft.
ting passenger steamers before they
can be made to serve as troop
ships. Camp Merritt still contains
more than 10, oCo men and to trans
port such an army to Manila
twelve of fifteen vessels will be
needed. 1t is not probable that all
the troops remaining here will be
sent away in one immense fleet.
Detachments Of three or four yes
sells will sail at intervals whenever
they may be ready.
This morning the Montana regi-
ment was inspected by General
Hughes. The South Dakota regi-
meut was inspected in heavy
marching order.

BOUGHT AN INTEREST
I'm the Wholesale House of Shattuck
a. Jackson.

A business transaction of consid-
cradle magnitude, involving an in
terest in one of the largest CONNER
cial houses in this part of the state
has just been completed, by which
Mr.. George B. Slemaker, a we'll
known and successful business man
of Sistersville, becomes partner in
the firm of Shattuck and Jackson,
and the owner of a large part of
their business.
Street rumors say that Mr.. Stem
aker paid SIS 5000 for a one-fourth
interest, but this could not be veri
fed. Mr.. J. M. Jackson, jr., man
ager of the firms business, corrob-
GRATED the report of the sale of an
interest in the business but declined
to make public any of the details.
AS the firm conducts a branch
establishment at Clarksburg, Mr..
Slemaker's purchase will include an
interest in the business there as
we'll as here.
After the first of July Mr.. Stem
aker will assist in conducting the
business although for the present
Mr.. Jackson will retain the active
management.
Mr.. Slemaker is business man
of high standing and competent to
take place in the management of
SO large, so successful and 50 pros
porous commercial house.
The business will be continued
under the same firm name as here
tofore. -Parkersburg Sentinel.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass
with urine and let it stand twenty
four hours; a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition OF
the kidneys. When Urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edy, fulflls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urin-
airy passages. 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in
passing it, or bad effects following
use of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity OF
being compelled to get up many
times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon real
lied. 1t stands the higher for its
wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medl-
cine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar. YOU may have a sam
pie bottle and pamphlet sent free
by mail, upon RECEIPT Of three two
cent stamps to cover cost of postage
on the bottle. Mention SisIersville

rELEeRAPHIc coMMUNIcATIoN
Has Been Established Between Gener-
al Shafter and the War Department.
Skaters Bulletins.

AA SMNALCE OAAG tAAC w oA 1T pa eAA-NAAes
Skaters Bulletins.
Washington, D. c., June go
The war department received the
welcome information today that a
military telegraph station had been
established at Savilla, in the center
of the present military operations,
and that this line ran to a point
near Aquedores, where it connect
ed with the French cable line, thus
bringing General Shafter into d.
rect communication with the war
department. General Greedy receiv-
ed a dispatch to this effect at 1890
o'clock from Lieutenant Colonel
Allen, who had charge photographic
and cable operations. The infor-
nation was conveyed to the secre,
tary of war and General Miles and
gave much satisfaction as it accom-
plishes an end long sought and
difficult to accomplish. The work
has been done by Colonel Allen, as,
sisted by Major Green, of General
Skaters staff. The short point at
which the military line connects
with the French Cable company,
will be advanced to Aguadorss as
soon as that town is taken. 1t is
now held by the Spanish forces,
but the purpose is to have the war
ships shell it, after which it will be
occupied as a shore base.
Beyond this, the war of depart
ment has received little news from
General Skaters headquarters in
addition to the important reports
received from him yesterday. In
fact nothing but the actual assault
remains to be reported after the
significant statement made by Cen
eral Skater to General Miles that
he expected to take Santiago as
soon as he got ready to move, with
out waiting for reinforcements.
The substance of this dispatch was
made known yesterday, but the
actual text can now be given. 1t
was in reply to General Miles dis
patch of the 18TH, saying:
congratulations on success at
tanned thus far. Regret most deep
ly to hear of loss of your heroic
men. Cable what you desire for
your command"
General Skaters reply was pri-
marily to acknowledge the congrat-
ulations, but he took occasion in
doing this briefyEbut to the point,
to state his plans in the following
words:
Expect to take The place as soon
as 1 get ready 10 move. Reinforce
ments will not reach me-" The
dispatch in full is as follows:

SOME POINTERS
About the War Revenue
Collector White
Gives Some n-When and
where to Get Stamps.

Preparations for the collection OF
the sinews of war are swapping
Collector White and his force with
work.
They are working night and day
answering inquiries and arranging
for the distribution of the various
assortment of stamps.
Under the new revenue law,
which was passed June IA, the rev.
enue will be collected by means OF
special stamps. There will be over
forty different kinds.
One can see at glance what a
task this will be for both the peo-
pie and the collectors.
1t will be a physical impossible
ity to get the stamps distributed
throughout the state by June 80.
Then, too, the government will not
be able to supply every locality
with all the stamps by that time.
They will be distributed just as
soon as they are received at this
Office. 10 stamps will be sold In
Wood county except at this Office,
but collector White invites all
postmasters, banks, trust COM
panies, insurance agencies, drug
stores, cigar stands, merchants or
any other vendors to buy revenue
stamps for the benefit of the public,
in quantities of not less than 500,
on which they will be allowed a
discount of one per cent.
A good many people have gath
cred erroneous impressions OF the
war revenue measure. In answer
to questions concerning some of the
mistaken ideas Mr.. White said peo-
pie should remember that in no
case will postage stamps pay the
special revenue required. That is,
persons can not pay the revenue
tax required with postage stamps.
Revenue stamps for all purposes
can be had by June so.
IF a person has not a special
stamp of a large enough denomina-
ton topay the required tax he can
do so by using stamps of smaller
denomination, providing they are
For the same class of articles.
A proprietary stamp cannot be
used by the general pulic for bank
ing or documentary purposes.
Every merchant, after July I, who
has for sale any article named in
Schedule B must affix a proprieta-
ny stamp before selling the article.
Collector White is now making
arrangements with fifty or more
banks throughout the state to han
die the revenue stamps.-Parkers-

NO oAusE FoR ALARm


The success OF the American army In
foreign lands seems TO have already ex.
cited fears that territorial ~aggrandize.
ment and entangling alliances will be-
come the policy Of the government OF the
United States. These fears are appar-
emily increased by the friendly feeling
existing between this country and Great
Britain In the present crisis. Any sort
OF an alliance OF understanding with that
country, the alaTmists seem 10 think,
must necessarily commit the United
States 10 the colonial policy Of her ally,
and pledge her support In all the differ.
ences that may arise between Great Bri.
tain and other nations.
II the question itself were not such a
serious one, these fears might properly
be treated with ridieule, but the sooner
IL Il taken up, discussed and the position
OF this country made clear, the better II
will be for all concerned. II may be pos
itiYely declared, once for all, that the
United States will not enter upon a colon
ial policy as a result Of a war OF conquest
against Spain. We have distinctly de.
elared that we do not want and will moi
take, Cuba, when Spain shall have beer
driven from the island. But, before thu
latter end is achieved we find ourselves
with the Philippine Islands on our hands
