TEE members of our race resid-
ing In bleeding Kansas" who
have always affiliated with the
G. o. P. have spent the past six
months endeayor to secure the
nomination of w. B. Townsend
as state auditor. But when the
lily white leaders of Mr.. Townsend
party met in convention recently
they informed him and his friends
that they expected their votes but
it would be impossible to give the
negroes representation upon the
state ticket, Notwithstanding the
fact that the negroes of Kansas
cast more than fifteen per cent of
the Republican vote of that state.
But just as long as the negro will
continue to sing that good old song
Publican, publican is my name,
Publican tall die.
I live and die in the publican faith
And eat the publican pie
Just as long as he is willing to
sing this song he will be compelled
to draw his milk from the rear or
hind nipple.

BATTLE BEGINS TO GROW HOT.
spaniards Make an Obstinate Defense
but Are Driven Out.

The covered way in front of the fort,
however, was held by the Spanish
troops, who maintained an obstinate
fire upon our men, who were advancing
through the bush and groves, only fir
ing an occasional shot. Captain Cap
ron's battery opened on the enemy at
once and sent a number of shells en-
tirely through the fort, tearing down
large sections of the walls By s O'Clock
General Chaffee's brigade was pressing
in toward the town, and the firing at
intervals was very warm. The firing
at times was very heavy during the
morning. but the Spaniards in the COW
cred way made Il most obstinate de-
Tense and refused TO yield an inch.
TiSle and again the shells from CAPTAIN
Capron's battery drove them to cover
but as soon as the fire ceased they were
up and at it again.
At noon it became evident that the
fire from the covered way could not ba
stopped by the artillery alone, and that
no permanent advance could be made
until the place was taken, and General
Lawton decided to capture it by assault.
Accordingly he sent a messenger to
General Chaffee with instructions to
take the position by charge General
Chaffee thereupon closed in with his
men repidly from the north, while Cap-
tain Capron maintained a heavy fire
on the fort. keeping the Span.ards in
the covered way. Shortly afterwards
he threw shot from the battery which
tore away the Flagstaff. bringing the
Spanish flag 70 the ground. From that
TIME no banner waved above it.
At P. m. the advance line of Cen
eral Chaffee's skirmishers, the Seventh
Infantry, began to appear or the edge
of the woods before the fort, and ty
rapid rushes advanced up the hill to
the fort.
No shot was fired as they swept for
ward. II was evident that the covered
way had been abandoned, and in a few

THE FIELD OF BATTLE,
Stretch of Country That Was Advantageous
in Turn for Both Sides

The county in which Gen. Lawton's
division fought offered great advantages
both to the attacking party and to the
defenders. 1t is a broad valley, thanked
on the west by mountains and on the
east by ridge about 200 feet high. AT
one time il was under cultivation. but
has been neglected since the opening Of
the war. Il still retains, however, signs
of its former prosperity in groves Of
cocoanut and mango trees, and broad
fields of waving grass, in most cases
waist high. Several ridges intersected
ii, but none of them is over fifty feet
high. The valleys between these ridges
and the groves We're points of vantage
to the American regulars. who USED
them with all the skill acquired on the
western plains of America. The open
spaces were Of great benefit TO the Span
iards, who were given q clear sight of
the American soldiers as they advanced,
1t was the crossing of these places
which caused the Americans their heav-
lest losses. The brigades Of Colonel
Miles and General Ludlow had more of
this work to perform than had General
Chaffee's and they, moreover, were
compelled to make their final charges
ON the town across an open space
through which the Spanish fire swept
with deadly effect. No finer work has
ever been done by soldiers than was
done by the brigades Of General Lud-
low and Colonel Miles as they closed in
on the town.
The fighting for hours in front of
Colonel Miles lire at a hacienda known
as DNero house was very fierce. The
Spanish defense was exceedingly obsti-
nate. The house was guarded by rife
pits, and az fast as the Spaniards were
driven FROM one they retreated into an
other and continued their fire. 1t was
entirely fight with rifles, as the Amer
leans had only Captain Capron's battery
of artillery ard the Spaniards had none
at all.
At the beginning Of the battle in the
morning General Duffield with the
Michigan troops and others attempted
to cross the river, to take part in the
fight. at Aguadores, but the bridge there
had been wrecked. In making an effort
to get across a number OF men were

GAVE WASHINGTON A SHOCK,
Tho First News of the Situation-ReiR-
f0rrA0nss To lie Hurried On

Washington. July 4.-General Shat
ters dispatch received Sunday was the
first for thirty-siX hours. At first, when
1t became known that the American
commander had reported the defenses TO
be so strong it would be impossible to
carry them by storm with his present
force there was momentarily a wave of
deep apprehension. But this was not
shared by the military authorities here.
All their energies. all their attention,
was turned to meeting the situation as
presented by General Shafter. But there
was other information of a different
tenor coming about the same time. The
American army was not alone feeling
the effects of this three DAYS shock of
arms. Definite, positive, information
was at hand that Santiago had been lit
orally torn to pieces. and that in the
wreck and ruin Of demolished buildings
the Spanish casualties numbered fully
Loco.
This information came from one of
the foreign consuls stationed at Santi-
ago, who reported to the representative
of his country in Washington the fear
full havoc within the city wrought by
the American army and the fleet. Be-
sides, General Linares, the Spanish
commander, has been severely wounded

structions TO have fifteen regiments pre-
pared for immediate movement. Cen
