The American loss was three officers

There were two sharp fights near
Novelto. loves scouts first encoun-

soon put them to flight, continuing
their advance. Captain Satfold's bat

two companies of the Fourteenth and a
number of Tagalo scouts, came upon
the enemy in a strongly entrenched po-

ing driven back. The American forces
sustained considerable losses in this en-
gagement, the men being shot from
trenches and shacks along the road.
The column then passed on to Novelta,
which they found deserted. The
marines and naval forces co-operated
with the troops. The gunboats Wheel

near Novelta and threw shells into that
town and Santa Cruz for an hour, pre-

Says sryan Is Sure to Win.

On the attitude Of Richard Croker as
to the nomination of Bryan for presi-
dent, Senator Jones had little to say,
merely replying to a direct question:
"Croker is already in line.''
AS to the possible outcome of the ma
tional campaign of 1900 Senator Jones
said he believed that the free silver
idea would have greater following
than in the campaign of 1896.
SIN 1885," he said, "there were many
Republicans and others who believed
that when the Republican party de-
clared for bimetallism, the declaration
was made in all sincerity. These same
men now doubt the sincerity of that
plank Of the Republican platform"
Prosperity Not General.
When asked what effect he thought
the apparent prosperity in the Western
states would have on Democratic issues,
Senator Jones said:
eyes, know they say at Washing
ton that the country is in a highly
prosperous condition and perhaps that
is correct from certain standpoints.
But cannot see that there is amy great
material prosperity among the agricul-
tural and similar classes. 1t does not
appear to have affected the farmer, nor
has it done much as yet for the labor
ing man in general. Cotton and wheat
have not made any advance to speak of
in price. That argument can readily
be answered when the time comes. OF
course there has been an increase in the
output of gold and that is bound to aft
feet politics in some degree greater or
less. But that is only proof of the
arguments advanced by us in 1896, that
what the country needed was greater
volume of money in circulation"
Outlines the Next Platform.
The Democratic platform, he de-
clared would be launched in 1900 on
comparatively the same basis and con,
tain essentially the same planks as in
1896. The party would declare for free
silver at the same ratio, and he thought
about the only addition to or change in
the party platform of any moment
would be plank relative to anti-im-
perialisln. That, he asserted, would
undoubtedly be one of the important
issues in the campaign. He refused to
discus the matter any more than to say
with wave of the hand: Everybody
knows what imperialism means. The
question under discussion means just
the reverse
Senator Jones said he did not know
how long he would remain in New
York. His plans are still Uniformed.
He said. however. he might go to
Washington on Tuesday on business
matters

Ten 3aaus for Every Girl.

With the bachelors outnumberiDg
the maids in every State in the
Union it ought to be easy for the I'M
married woman to secure a partner
anywhere, but the region where
bachelors are most in excess is, of
course, the most favorable to tie
spinster, since, the abundance of un-
married men gives her a wider range
of choice. From a matrimonial point
of view Idaho is the best State of
the Union, for there the number of
bachelors is to that of the maids as
1854 to 1,426, each unmarried
woman in Idaho, therefore, having 10
or II bachelors, not exactly at her
back, but available as a husband.
From most points of view the west
is the Mecca of the young married
women, for not only r there more
unmarried men in the western
States, but a living is more easily
made in the west than in the east,
and therefore the western men are
more addicted to matrimony.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
After a stay of three weeks at
Waldo, and feeling much like home,
duty AID business demanded US to
bid it farewell, early on the NON
ing of the 18th, We started for Madi-
SOD, Fla. We travelled about 40
miles through a very level sandy
poor country. After passing several
nice little villages We came 10 Lske
City. This is an old town, yet it is a
very Lice n with many attractions.
We only saw what we could as We
passed. Mkt we came to Live Oak;
this is one Of the incest towns we
have seer in Florida. At 2 p. m,
we arrived at Madison, our place Of
destination. This is the best town
we have seen in Florida, with fertile
hammock soil to back it up. The
people here meet US like friends,
though We could find no n we have
ever seen or heard of here, yet We
found many South Carolina people
here, who gave US a a shake OF
the hand when We told them that we
were from old South Carolina. Many
of them knew how to make US feel
akin. We found this to be a good
farming country and the people, in
dustrious and religious, hospitable
and kind to strangers We found
everything high here, especially rail-
road fare and board. Four cents
per mile is the rate and f.om 81 to
$40 per week for board.
The weather is fine here and the
people are busy planting and pre-
pairing their land for a heavy crop.
The negroes are numerous here but
they give them no trouble, as Florida
is strictly Democratic.
Mr.. Editor, we have only been
away from home one month. and have
had all the kindness and success in
business we could ask, having sold
fourteen counties at Waldo, our
patent concrete business; yet we feel
that there is no place like home and
we dream of friends and loved ones
at night and long to be there.
Yours,
