Washington, June 24,-Major Gener-
nj Miles received an official dispatch
yesterday morning from one of General
Skaters staff officers describing the
operations any saying that the Amer
lean army had been successfully landed
from the transports with little or no
opposition from the enemy The only
man wounded was one of the Cuban in
surgents, who was accidentally struck
by a fragment of one of the shells fired
by an American warship, and who sub
sequcnty died.
The dispatch said that the army was
met by large force of insurgents, OF
whom there are 5000 in the neighbour
hood of Santiago, apparently well arm
ed and well organized, though in press
ing need of shoes and quinine, 1t ad-
ded that General Garcia had informed
General Shafter that by the time San
tiago surrendered he would have an
army of 10000 men. What was par

Fort Clark Texas, June 24.-The
Third regimen is considerably work
ed up" over the order received for
three companies to proceed to the
Southeast. Close upon the heels OF
the order the assignment of -compan-
les was changed slightly in that Cap
tain DUPONT b. Lyons company, com
pany Il, of Sherman would represent
the First battalion instead of Captain
Dun's command, from Greenville. The
latter officer and detachment from
Lieutenant Colonel Cookies command
are absent on recruiting service. Cap
tain Duff is the senior captain Of the
regiment, which may have been the
reason for his company having been
originally proposed.
The Beaumont, Hillsboro and Sher-
man companies are actively engaged
in making leaving preparations. Inc
two first go to the Florida coast, while,
up to date, the Sherman contingent Is
slated for Fort Morgan, Ala, said to
be one of the most delightful of gov
eminent stations.
There has been pretty much of
rush by the soldiers to secure trans
fers from their respective companies
to those soon to go east. The trans
fer, to be accomplished as the reglla-
lions prescribe, necessitates long de-
lays while the papers pass by circuit
Gus channel to the department of war,
at Washington. Such delays could not
be tolerated in order to accommodate
the more desiring ones to get nearer
the seat of action. There is hardly
captain in the regiment who will CON
sent to transfer. The breaking in OF
more new recruits than is absolutely
necessary is task not appreciated.
Those companies TO leave are in falr-
ly good shape, however, and Win
some additional equipment will com
pare favorably with the best of organ
izations now in the field.

General Young commanded the ex'

while Colonel Wood directed the oper-

miles west. Both parties struck the
Spanards about the same time and the
fight lasted an hour
The Spaniards opened fire from the
thickets and had every advantage of
numbers and position, but the troops
drove them back from the start,
stormed the block house around which
they made the final stand and sent
them scattering over the mountains.
The cayalrymen were afterward re-
inforced by the Seventh, Twelfth and

sion in the j. b. Cranfill-S. A. Hayden
contempt case, brought by plaintiff to
restrain DR.. Hayden from discussing
libel suit between the two ministers
in the columns of the Texas Baptist

new in the courts of Texas. Indeed,
no opinion bearing on similar case
was found by any of the attorneys,
Judge Gray holds DR.. Hayden in con-
tempt for past publications and forbids
him mentioning the ase in his paper
again. Punishment of DR.. Hayden is
reserved.
The opinion sets precedent and has
caused wide spread interest in North
Texas. Dr. Haydon's attorneys gave
notice that, unless granted new trial,
they would appeal the case.

A NAVAL HERo's STORY.

Lace in 1851, when President Lincoln
issued a call for volunteers, L. j. Clark, of
Warren, Trumbull Co., Ohio, was among
the first to respond. He joined the mortar
fleet of Admiral Porter just before the
memorable operations on the Mississippi
river began. 1t was at the terrific bonn
bardment Of the Vicksburg forts, that the
hero of this story fell with shattered arm
from charge of schrapnel.

The Last Chance.

No man in Birmingham can be registered after the close of today's work. NO man who is not registered today can vote for county officers, for state officers, for the Birmingham amendment. At one bounce such a man drops from sovereignty to serf- dom. His civic rights are taken from him. He is a creature of the state, but not a part of its controlling force. He is below zero. He has abdicated. He is dead po- litically. if not morally; for man has no more right to disregard and neglect his public duties than he has to disregard and neglect his duties as an individual. His obligations to the state are as obligatory as his obligations to individuals.
 It is especially important that the citizens of Birmingham should register on account of the Birmingham amendment, which will need every vote that can be cast for it. If your conscience will let you neglect the state and county tickets, it certainly W Il not let you neglect the schools of Birming- bom. whose revenue is involved in the Br- mingham amendment or the welfare of the city, which is largely dependent upon the are many issues tied up in that amend- ment and no man can have a quiet con- science who is not ready to do his part towards a proper settlement of such is- sues.
 Unless you are registered before the books are closed tonight you can not vote in the coming elections. Don't forget this. There is no way around it. No matter what scheme you concoct to defeat the law you will encounter defeat at the polls. Registration is the proper and only course. Attend to it this morning. It takes but a minute at either the court house or at Adams drug store. It is a duty you par ticuarly owe to the bright-eyed boys and girls of Birmingham.

The Flour Situation.

The monstro ous and heartless speculation in wheat is ended, but its bad effects will be felt for a long time to come. The abnor- nal price led many miller, who ,aG ; flour contracts to seek new sources of adul- teration; and some of them resorted to a new substance. called "Mineraline." It is a silicious mineral resembling tale in phys- cal propei ties. It is died and powderel st or near Greensboro, North Carolna It is a very white clay, and is of course very heavy and absolutely indgestible. It is insoluble, says Food Commissioner Black burn, of Ohio, in the strongest sulphuric acid .'Mineraline" is MT. Joe Letters mon- ument It is his contribution to the daily food of helpless little children, and the very poor who are compelled to buy the cheap est flour. It should be called Leiterlne.
 Fortunately for all, the wave of high priced flour is passing away. As the great harvest advances wave of low prices in the chief breadstuff will be inaugurated, and the Letters will not be able to corner the crop. year of advancing prices to to
 
 be succeeded by year of declining prices, and every day of good harvest weather now adds to the worlds supply. The Texas har- vest will be completed next week, and the great harvests of Oklahoma and Kansas will soon tome along, to be followed by harvests in other states, until the greatest crop in the history of this or any other country has been secured Last years crop was very fine, about 53O ,oOO OOOO bushels, but this years crop, if no disaster intervene, will range between 65o0oO,oOo bushels and 700 OOo 900 bushels. As the crops in other wheat-growing countries are also abundant, 1t is certain that year of cheap bread is to come Not even a war can hold the price up to recent figures. Seventy-five-cent wheat is assured.
 If congress and the states would now and bell adulterated four, the flour situa- ton would be greatly improved. The ras- calls who adulterate the peoples food in Atlanta and Nashville need especial atten- ton, but the millers fin the northwest who prepare adulterated flour particularly for southern consumption need treatment. The penitentiary yawns for all of them-the mixers, the millers and the multifarious drummers who sell their vile products. Laws are needed that will corral the whole lot where they will hahve opportunities for reflection. The men who attack the poor mans loaf from Joe.
