The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1898-07-22

The following Is letter received by W.
V. Robbins from his cousin, viii Beers,
under date of June 80:
Your letter came to hand in due time,
and intended to answer 1t before, but we
have been very busy. Today Is the first
day. or rather the first half day have had
to myself since we landed, and we have
now been here four days. We have all
been down at the beach husting commits
sary stores and ammunition ashore. Every
thing landed here Is brought to shore in
launch boats, as there is no place fer large
vessels to land.
We are now within ten miles of Santiago.
near small village which was bombarded
last week, and taken by the Americans just
a few days before We came here. The talk
is here, that the bombardment OF Santiago
will commence on the 4th of July, but you
probably know more about 1t than we do,
as you can get papers to read and we can
not.
We first were camped in coc0anut grove,
but one night when we went back from
working at the beach we found about six
inches of water all over the camp ground;
all of our blankets and clothing were
soaked that night; we slept the best way we
could and In the morning broke camp and
went about mile from the village along
railroad and near the ocean.
The village captured chanced to be the
end of division of the railroad, and sew
eral engines with plenty of cars. besides
many cars loaded with coal were left be-
hind. The Spaniards tried to destroy the
engines but they were repaired, and now
are very useful In drawing provisions to the
different can ps.
There are about thirty thousand soldiers
landed here now and more expected soon.
Our soldiers are now within two miles of
Santiago, and there Is a scrap every day.
The wounded are brought back here.
There were about ten thousand natives
started to Santiago this morning, so they
must mean business. They are armed with
every kind of weapon made. guess there
isn't gun manufactured but what is repre-
sented here, and knives of all descriptions.
When look at them and think we are
lighting to free them my heart almost sinks,
(but remember the Maine.) They are a
shiftless class of people, too lazy to do any
thing-but to tell the truth they don't have
to do much, for nature provides for them.
They 20 half dressed. some of them have
no clothes at all, to speak of. The most Of
them here are clothed with clothes that the
soldiers have thrown away, and there Is
enough thrown away to clothe quite an
army, for we have learned already not to
carry anything that we can possibly get
along without. We always have to carry
one hundred rounds of ammunition, and
that makes quite load to start in on.
1t rains here almost every day, and one
of those tropical rains that you read about
makes 1t very disagreeable; not only that
but the tongue destroying language which
l have been trying to speak until my. teeth
got so loose had to leave off.
Tell your father l got the stuff he sent,
and nothing ever before tasted so good.
would like to write more but paper Is
scarce here, and stamps cannot be bought
at any price, so will have to put on soldiers

Both Claim New York.

New York, Nov. s.-The party man. agers on both sides are confident as to the outcome of the state election The Republicans assert that their entire state ticket will be successful, the plu- rality expected varying from 5o,000 to 100000 While they express the belief that the political complexion of the con- gressional delegation will not be chang ed more than in two or three districts, the districts referred to being the Third, sixth and Eighth. To offset this the Republicans rrofess confidence in winning in the Eleventh and Twelfth districts, at present represented by Dem ocrats The legislature the Republicans say, is safe
 On the other hand the Democratic leaders say there will be plurality for their ticket 0. from 40, 005 to l00, 900 and that the Democrats will be elected in all districts now represented by Democrats and four or five more, mostly III Greater New York. Senator Muohy, who is a candidate for reelection, says the legis. lature will be Democratic on joint bal lot and is backing his opinion with mon- ey bets aggreating about $35, 900. Bet ting generally is about on even terms.

Fifth Avenue.

When the property holders on
 West Fifth avenue voirntarily vot- cd upon themselves 8 tax for gray. cling that district, the City Council, in order to protect the avenue and assure the public at least one boule- yard for driving purposes, passed an ordinance prohibiting log wag- ons, drays, and "overly loaded
 wagons from passing over that thcroughfare and made it the duty Of the police to enforce tho ordi- nance. This action on the part of the council was most wise and nee.
 essarv. Otherwise the improve
 ment would not have been made.
 Fifth avenue is now the only thor oughfare in the city suitable for driving purposes. While the gray eling was done at the expense of the property holders on that thorough
 are the street nevertheless belongs to the community in general. But how long will Fifth Avenue be suit able for driving purposes If heavy and soverlv loaded wagons are per mitted to pass over it and cut It up into ruts and otherwise render the street useless for the purposes for which the graveling district was created? We beg to take issue with the editor of the Commercial who does not own a dollars worth of property On that thoroughfare and who seems bent on its destruction. There are five unpaved streets run ming parallel with Fifth Avenue, for the use of log wagons, drays aud ';overly loaded wagons, and as we before remarked, if Fifth Avenue is not protected from overly loaded" wagons. it will be only question of a short time until it will be in ao better condition than the rest of them. and the improvement for which the property holders voiun- tarily taxed themselves for the next twelve years, will ce rendered use less. It seems to us that it is bet. ter to have one driving thorough fare than none, and that property holders who voluntarily tax them selves for public improvements should be protected in their rights.
