When the 10000 men composing
the division reached the field only
one from our regiment had droppes
out of ranks from exhaustion. The
ambulances of the other regiments
were full
Our band played as never before
and the regiment kept perfect step tc

The line was as straight as the

When the regiment returned to
camp not half score had dropped
out, while in other regiments 200
men were prostrated from the heat
and the 10 mile march.
Gen Sanger sent his compliments
to Col Aston, saying that our band
had kept the best time of all, the
beat being 12l to the minute, while
the bands of other regiments averaged
1l2 beats.

NEWS FROM MADRID.
If Cuba Must be Lost, 'Tis Far
Better That America
Annex Her.

London. July % The Madrid
correspondent of The Times says ::
"2eacc prospects nave greatly i'm
proved during the last Is hours.
The diplomatic exploration of the
Duke Aimodovar de Rio, the foreign
minister, has been more practical
than was supposed, and it is nov
toIerably certain that the govern
ment's efforts are entering new
phase, which may gradually lead to
tangible results
The precise nature of the change
is secret, but there is little doubt
that /, teads 20 direct negotiations
between Spain and the United States,
there being no inclination 20 seek the
mediation of any neutral power. The
moment has arrived when America,
having reached the parting Of the
ways, must choose between war with
specific object and an indefnsble
war of conquest
THE present pause IN host'lltles
is held to prove that the United States
is reluctant to plunge into wider
sphere Of action, and it may be con
ideptlys predicted that, if direct
negotiations are opened without de
lay, both countries will find their
views on the main point-the future
of Cuba-far from irreconcilable
"The growing dissensious between
the Cuban insurgents and the Amerl'
can authorities are noted here with
great satisfaction and on all sides |
hear it said:
"'lf we must lose Cuba, 1t is bet
ter that the islands be annexed by
America. because the traitors would
thereby be punished and the enor
nous Spanish interests in the island
would be protected
The French embassy at Washing
ton seems the most likely channel for
opening negotiations; and the semi
official statement that America intends
to retain Porto Rico is regarded here
as hint to Spain tc hurry up
"There is still much talk about
Carist intrigues and preparations,
but the government, though vigilant
and ready to act energeticaly if
necessary, seems to think that at pre-
sent there is no serious danger of
un.oward Developments The dan
ger OF Republican movements is still
less. Senior Emilio Castelar, has just
rendered service 20 the cause OF
order by publishing long letter, in
which he impressed upon all good
Spaniards the necessity of sinking
party differences ard remaining firm
~ united at the present critical CIR
cumstances.
Patriotism, like the church,
says Senior Castelar,, imposes unity
on Us, sod if unity does not exist, let
us be silent upoa the subject The
project of presenting him with an
address of confidence. signed by 100,
GEO of his admiring fellow citizens,

DETAILS OF THE PROCEEDINGS
IN TEIE CONTESTED CASES.
Court of General Sessions this morn
ing disposed Of the contested liquor
license cases.
The remOnstrance was Withdrawn In
the case Of Joseph Corrigan, Of No. S11
West Second street, and the license
was renewed.
These applications for license were
withdrawn, it being apparent to the ap-
plicants that they would be refused:
Clarence A. Fowood, Gibson House,
Fourth and Shipley streets, old place.
James H. S. Gam, St. Georges hun
dred, new place.
Lydia A. Kopp, No 11S shipley
street, old place.
Harry M. Shivler, near Newark, new
place.
A hearing Of the application Of HUI
bert Cassidy, for license for No. 20C
West Second street, was had, William
S. Prickett, attorney for the Law and
Order Society, attacking it on the
ground that it had been previously re
fused by the court when applied for by
others. The court ruled that it would
hold the owner responsible for the con-
duct of the tenant, and that therefore
it must refuse a license to Mr.. Cassidy
he being the owner Of the premises al
the time the previous applicant was
refused.
The court then adjourned until Sep

The attention OF the committee was
called to balance Of road tax amount

made as required
The committee would recommend
that the time for making the annual
inspection of the comptroller and
treasurer's books be changed so that it
may close with the county's fiscal year
on June 80. 1t would then be possible
to examine the accounts and report
their condition more concisely than un-
