hill northeast of the American lines

to hold only about 500 Spanish troops.

scouts, in spite of the belief of the
Americans here that the 1000 Span
iards driven forward by our advance
on Baiquiri and Juragua had all re-
treated on Caney and not on Santiago.
The small number of troops now at
Caney indicates that the Spaniards
have practically evacuated the place,
and this is believed to be the case.
Lieutenant Standing was not moIested
during his observation, though he
passed through a camp which, a hours
previously, had been occupied by a
SlFDnS spanish outpost.

the narrow entrance to Santiago har-
Dor, including the works at Estrella
point, have been occupied by the Amer

have been driven from the Notifications

is in circulation here tonight, though
unconfirmed, that there has been
great battle at Santiago de Cuba, re-

pect a movement today to capture Ca
ney which is short five miles north
east of Santiago. This, however, is not
official. Such a move may draw the
Spaniards in force from Santiago, but
in view of their previous retreats,
whenever the army might have been
seriously harassed on the march, an
aggressive move on the part of the
Spaniards is considered unlikely.

Mr. Hnvt WIS very enthusiastic in
his praise Of the township system of

show wherein the district system was

oak and walnut groves for which Ohio
is s;tHstIy famous. We stopped at the

So YOU are in favor. of township

friendly to that plan Well, now,
Mr.. Griffith. let me tell you. Seven
years ago our district school house
Hstood over there on yonder corner,
about sixty rods away. At that time
we could have sold our farm for seventy

that, but did not care to sell I Today
we can't get fifty, just because people
don't care to be so far from school.
Then, when the seheolhouse was so
near by, nay children could come home
and sit down to hot dinner. Now

ridge road, about three miles and a
half away. tell you l don't want my
children to travel so far in cold and
stormy weather. They have to be up
to the corner to meet the hack. Often
they ride to school with wet feet and
damp clothing. I am always just on
nettles for fear that drivers team will
run away. want my children near
By so that if anything happens, can
be right on hand to tend to them. I
just worry the life out of me when the
children are away. They say the fell

sometimes. Bud Jones and Jimmy

in the hack. The driver never tried to
stop them, but just 'sicked' 'em on. o,
l just tell you, gentlemen, we're going
to rent this farm and move to Norwalk
so that l can see to the children's

Neither Mr.. Hoyt nor myself tried to
offset these very decided objections.
We both knew that woman will
always have the last word. More than
this, we knew that Mrs. Woodwork
had spoken for large number of
thoughtful and intelligent people.
