THE TOPEKA,
Formerly the Diogenes, Which sailedFrom
Falmouth. Eng, April 10. Arrives Safely
at New York.

NEW YORK, May 2.-The United
States cruiser Topeka formerly the
Diogenes, commanded by Lieut.. ]. j.
Knapp, which sailed from Falmouth,
Eng, April 10, arrived safely in port
Sunday morning after rough pas
sage of 12 days The Topeka entered
the narrows at 9 a. M, where she
slowed down for the health officers in.
spection, then proceeding to the man
of war anchorage off Thompkinsville.
AS she steamed up the bay the vessel
presented an odd appearance. She
has high sided black painted hull and
two yellow tunnels, from which the
paint had been washed off by heavy
weather. She is brig-rigged, giving
her heavy appearance aloft without
fighting tops, in fact at distance she
presents the appearance of big cargo
steamer rather than a war vessel. The
cruisers deck is en- tirely bare of guns,
all her equipment being slowed in the
hold.
Lieut. Knapp reported having ex-
perienced very rough passage. From
the time of le aving the channel up to
the banks a succession of strong west
erly gales were encountered. After
passing the banks the wind hauled to
the southe asst and blew strong gale
for four days with very rough sea-
The Topeka behaved well throughout
and sustained but trifing damage
about the decks.

Joshua johnson, son Of Christopher
and Anna johnson, was born in High.
land county, Ohio, on February IS, 1928,
and died April %, 1898, being 20 years,
2 months and 8 days Of age.
Christopher johnson and family re.
sided in Highland county till his death
in the spring of 1881, aged "A years.
They had two children, Joshua W. and
William p, the latter dying at the age
of 2 years. Mrs. johnson married for
her second husband John w. Brock, by
whom she had several children.
The subject Of this sketch was but 8
years of sge when his father died, but
was raised by his mother and step father
till he grew to manhood; was married
February 10Th, ls49, to Miss Nancy,
, daughter of Edward and Leah Adams,
of Clinton county. By this, union they
had two children, Christopher @. and
Edward j., both living. Mrs. johnson,
wife of the deceased, died April %, 1877,
aged 80 years.
Mr.. johnson resided in Highland
county till the spring of 1858. when he
removed to Clinton county. He was
soon numbered among the prosperous
and substantial farmers Of his neighbor-
hood; was quiet, unpretentious man,
never seeking public notoriety, and
whose character stood above reproach.
During his residence in Clinton county
Mr.. johnson met with business reverses
which caused him to lose all his earthly
possessions, after which he returned to
Highland county. Mr.. johnson was
not a member of any church. He fol.
lowed his master by lending a helping
hand to the poor and neglected as long
as he had anything left. He was good
citizen, and by his removal his family
and friends have sustained great loss
and has caused vacancy that will never
be filed.
For weeks before his death he suffered
great pain Realizing the end was near,
he examined his faith in Christ, and re-
marked to a friend that he was ready
and waiting for the end, as he longed to
meet his wife and friends who had gone
before. His aged mother and two sons
survive him. Mrs. Mary Fry and daugh.
ter attended him during his last days
and did all in their power to alleviate
his sufferings, for which they have the
heartfelt sympathy of all good people Of
this community.
His funeral was conducted by Rev. E.
N. Knox at Pike Chapel, Sunday, at
o'clock, and his remains were laid to rest
in the Hillsboro cemetery. w. T.

HoNe KONG, May 2.-Advices from
Manila state that Commodore Dewey
opened strong cannOnade against
the Spanish guarding the harbor Sum
day morning. After severe fighting he
retired to place his wounded in safety,
then returned to the attack. After
gaining decisive victory he retired in
the offing, without the loss of vessel,
though his list of killed and wounded is
said to be heavy. The cruiser Don
Juan de Austria was blown up and her
commander killed. The cruiser Maria
Cristina was burned and several small
err ships of war were sunk. The Span.
ish admiral, Montejo, was compelled
to tranfer his flag from the Cristina to
the Isla de Cuba. The Spanish fleet
was practically annihilated and Manila
is panic-stricken. 1t is believed here
that the capture of the city is matter
of but few hours.
LISBON, May 2.-Reliable news is re-
ceived here that the Spanish fleet was
com oletely defeated off Cavite in the
two naval engagements Sunday morn.
ing.
LONDON. May. 2.-The Exchange Tel.
egraph Co. Sunday afternoon sent out
a dispatch saying it is stated that Com
modore Dewey has defeated the Span
ish feet. 1t adds that the Spaniards
lost 1000 men and that Commodore
Dewey lost two ships and 500 men.
MADRID (via Paris), May "A dis
patch has been received by the Span
ish minister of marine saying that the
American feet was obliged to retreat
ait terrible engagement at Manila
The dis2atch says the Spanish losses
were heavy and that the American
ship were severely damaged.
LONDON, May "A special dispatch
from Madrid Monday morning says the
Spaniards fought splendidly, the
sailors refusing to leave the burning
and sinking ships. The captain of the
Reina Christina went down with the
vessel.
LONDON, May 2-While it is quite
clear that the Spanish squadron has
suffered crushing defeat at Manila,
the dispatches leave unclear the in
tensely interesting question whether
the American squadron has suffered
material damage.
All news thus far comes from Span
ish sources but it seems evident that
Commodore Dewey has not captured
Manila. Unless he is able to make an.
other attack and capture the, town he
will be in an awkward position, having
no base upon which to retire and refit.
Probably, therefore, the United
States squadron will be obliged tu
make for San Francisco as the en-
trance 70 Manila bay was heavily
mined with torpedoes
Commodore Dewey displayed great
pluck and daring in making for the
| inner harbor.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Washington
re joiced. Sunday night.
Not since the dark days of the great
civil conflict of third of century

SO profoundly moved by war news as
they were Sunday evening.
The first battle of the Hispano-Amer
ican war has been fought and victory
lies with Adm. Dewey's squadron un
der the stars and stripes.
That was enough to set the people
| of Washington almost in frenzy O
enthusiastic rejoicing. For days they
in common with the people through
out the country, have been awaiting
news from the Philippine islands, q
everything pointed TO battle .

Obituary..

Henry Hiestand was born on the
waters of Rocky Fork, four miles east
of Hillsboro, October 11th, 1924. He
was reared upon the farm and his life
was life of industry, toll and labor
On December 3Oth, 1847 he was united
in marriage to Elizabeth Bonwell. This
union was somewhat Of short duration,
she dying in may, 1852. He afterwards
married Miss Ellen Moberley. OF this
union there were two children, John II
Hiestand and Orisso B Erwin. Some
time in the latter part OF August, 1912
he attended camp meeting, one mile
east of Hillsboro, was convicted and
afterward was powerfully converted, after
which he united with the M. E. Church.
He remained a consistent member of
the same during life. Having filed
various Offices or positions in the church
as class leader, steward, trustee, and
Sunday School superintendent, verify,
he was a jealous worker in his Masters
vineyard. 1t seemed as he advanced in
years the more he loved Gods house
and his Masters cause. Sunday morn.
ing, April Sd, he took sick, went to see
the doctor, and came home suffering
intensely. During the nine days of
sickness, seldom man ever suffered az
he did, and never man bore up with
that resignation as he did. Yes, he
prayed, he preached, exhorted and
plead with those around to prepare to
meet him in heaven. On an occasion
he said to one if any body ask you what
his prospect of Heaven were, tell them
they were bright, yes, he said, very
bright In speaking of his sufferings
he said it was not all bitterness but
mixed largely with sweetness. Thus he
lived, thus he passed away. He has
gone to meet that brother who preceded
him nearly month and ha,f ago. One
of the old prophets said that his Sun
was set while it was yet day. He leaves
behind him his beloved companion,
two children, John II. and Orisso b,
eight grand children, two brothers and
one sister, with quite number of friends
and relatives to mourn his loss. This
we sometimes call death. Not 80. dear
friends. your dear loved one is living
now and will live ON forever. Dear
loved ones let US ever remember the
exhortations he gave us, ponder then
in our hearts that when the summons
come we shall be prepared to meet him
