The wonderful fighting of the first
three days of July around Santiago
is described by expert writer's in the
Review of Reviews for August. Mr.
Winston Churchill gives in detail
the clparest account yet published
of the destruction of Cervera's feet.
The story as he tells it forms one
of the most thrilling chapters in the
history of the American navy. This
is followed by Mr.. John A, Church's
review of the land engagements
that ended in the capitulation OF
Santiago July II. Both articles are
brilliantly illustrated from Hem
ments photographs taken immedi-
ately after the fighting.

The American Monthly Review
of Reviews for August reviews the
Santiago campaign by land and sea
from start to finish. Winston
Churchill, who wrote so acceptahly
on Admiral Dewey for the June Re-
view, describes in this number the
wonderful battle with Cervera's
feet, and his article is illustrated in
part from Hemment's remarkable
photographs of the Spanish ships
taken the day after the fight. John
A. Church, formerly of the Army
and Navy Journal, contributes full
account of the Santiago land fight
ing. and his article also is illustrated
from new photographs. Park Ben
iamin writes on the work cut out
for the Eastern squadron under
Commodore Watson. Altogether
the Review again shows its ability
to Seep well abreast of all import
ant military and naval movements
and to exhibit a clean pair of heels
to all its competitors in magazine
dom.

President Mckinley and his Cab
met discussed American ultimatum
to Spain. The disposition of the
Philippines was the bone of con-
lention However, the ultimatum
will probably be handed to Ambas-
sador Camdon to-day. SPANS &C.
ceptance, judging by cabiegrams
from Madrid, is extremely doubt
full.
Gen. Miles is now in control of
Ponce, the port and town having
surrendered. The Spaniards made
practically no resistance. Gable
communication will be restored as
soon as possible. Reinforcements
are steadily joining Gen. Miles who
has issued stirring proclaim alton
to the people and pushing oper-
atiens.
Business men at Santiago fear
the Americans will turn the town
over to the Cubans.
A returning newspaper man tells
how yellow fever got into the army
at Santiago.
Mr.. II l.. Beach, who represented
the Associated Press along the
fighting line at Santiago, made the
statement, as follows:
at is an actual fact-something
l saw with my own eyes-that our
army ambulances were used to
carry Cuban refugees who had fled
from Santiago, and who were car
rying the germs OF dred fever with
them. When Gen. Sbafter sent
word to Santiago that he intended
to lombard the city, the people all
began to fee, and most of them
went to Ell Caney. This is town
of about 500 people, but $4,000 refu-
gees went thither and occupied the
houses, in which there was room
for only 500. The town was over
flowing; there was no food for the
Cubans, and the army had not
enough to spare. So the people had
to so out and forage for themselves.
Santiago is known as the worst
yellow fever port in Cuba, and
those people who did not carry it
with them, soon had it for their
condition, huddled together as they
were, was terrible, and brought on
the pest almost imediatly. / know
it to be fact, having seen it myself
that the army ambulances were
used to haul these refugees from El
Caney so they might get food. The
people waded through the mud
and were picked up by the ambu-
lances. Then our sick and wound
ed wers hauled in the same ambu.
lances. But, worst of all, it seems
to nue. is the fact that the commits
airy wagons which always were
going to Siboney and back carrying
food, went out with food, reluned
loaded with refugees and went
back again loaded with food. Ne
yellow fever appeared in the army
before the lines we're opened to

United States Government is not
expected from the Spanish Cabinet
before tomorrow. Much specula-
ton is expressed in Washington as
to the possible nature of the chang
es Ambassador Cambon induced
President Mckinley and the Cabi-
net to make in the demands as
agreed on by the Cabinet, and it is
believed by many that the session
of Manila was the article reserved.

the action of the Spanish Govern
ment, rs an order was issued yes

ed surprise at Camp Thomas, es-
pecially as all the regiments are

than $40 per cent.
Gen. Miles cables from Ponce

a Good Time Coming

III W SlNS,
There'll be happy wives and mothers
making happy homes for men:
For the women won't be working in the
shop and office then,
And there'll be no hungry babies
through the winters cold to cry.
For We'll have no tabled surplus and
no limited supply"
When we come into the Kingdom Of
Our Father here on earth,
Where the Landlord won't be in it and
the worker'N get his worth!
Virginia NJ. Butterfeld.
The Indignant Answer.
Is this the land our fathers loved,
The freedom which they toiled to
win
Is this the soil whereon they moved?
Are these the graves they slumber
in?
The nantes which the dead have
worn?
OF human skulls that shrine was made,
Round which the priests of Mexico
Before their loathsome idol prayed
Is freedoms altar fashioned so?
And must we yield to freedoms God,
AS offering meet, the workers blood?
Shall tongues be mute, when deeds are
wrought
Which well might shame EXTREMIST
hell?
Shall freemen lock the indignant
thought?
Shall PHYS bosom cease to swell?
Shall honor bleed ?-shali truth sue
cumb? .....
Shall pen, land press, and soul be dumb
No-by each spot of haunted ground
Where freedom weeps her children's
fall
BY Plymouth rock, and Bunker's
mound,
BY Griswold's stained and shattered
wall
BY Warren's ghost-by Langdon's
shade
BY all the memories of our dead!
BY their charging souls, which burst
The bands and letters round them
set
By the free pilgrim spirit nursed
Within our Utmost bosom, yet
BY all above-around-be
Be ours the indignant answer-No!
j. G. Whittier.
I looked and saw splendid pageantry
OF beautiful women and of lordly
men,
Taking their pleasure in a flowery
plain,
Where peoples and the red anemone.
And many another leaf of cramolsy
Flickered about their feet and gave
their stain
To heels Of iron or satin, and the
grain
OF silken garments, floating far and
free,
AS in the dance they wove themselves,
or strayed
BY twos together, or lightly smiled
and bowed,
Or curtseyed to each other. or else
played
At games Of mirth and pastime, un-
afraid
In their delight: and all so high and
proud,
They seemed scarce of the earth
whereon they trod.
I looked again and saw the flowrv
space
Stirring as if alive, beneath the
tread
That rested now upon an old mans
head.
And now upon baby's gasping face.
Or mothers bosom, or the rounded
grace
OF a girls throat; and what had
seemed the red
OF flowers was blood in gouts and
gushes shed,
From hearts that broke under that
frolic pace;
And now and then from out the dread
full floor
An arm or brow was lifted from the
rest,
AS If to strike in madness, or imnlore
For mercy; and anon some suffering
