the little shelter tents pitched in the
trenches.
OFF to the left where the Kansas boys
are located, the line soon ran into the
the woods and was lost to view. Tc
the right the zig gag line Of tents could
be seen for mile or more. These
were occupied by the Sd artillery. the
Montana regiment and the Utah ar.
tillery.
The insurgents were in trenches at
the edge of the timber about thousand
yards away.
They had sharp shooters up in trees
much nearer than this.
Their MausersN could be heard pop
ping away all Gay long. A Kansas
bugler while looking over the trench
was shot in the head just before we ar
rived. While we were crossing an
open road ping went little missile

clouded and it began to rain heavily.
We took shelter behind thick stone
wall into which inches been built for
the burial of bodies. Passing along
the wall we saw many of the inches
laid open and skeletons lying in the re-
cesses in various stages of decay.
AS we started for the train a dark
and gloomy night was setting in. The
outposts with ponchoes thrown over
them and gun in hand were starting
out toward the insurgent line to lie in
the grass and brush until morning.
Many times they were near enough to
the enemy's outpost to hear their
voices. To me this was an impressive
sight and one long to be remembered.

The REVIEW has already given it's

against them and so is the republican
party. Itdoes look odd, however, for
a man who is himself member of a So

to tell the difference, blowing off on the

a MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE

The joke is on Des Moines. After de-
voting columns of space and no end of
self-congratulation over the royal"
wedding of Miss Hubbell and Count
Wachmeister it appears that the
worthy couple cared so little for Des
Moines people as to give out that they
had left the city, while they were in
fact at the Hubbell home quietly hid
den from the prying eyes of the crash
Des Moines society. Des Moines stood
and threw rice at sleeping cars on eve
ming lines leading from the city. LATE
Young blacked up and worked his way
into Chicago as a sleeping car porter in
order to give as many details as pos
sible of the wedding trip. Uncle Dick
was sure they would leave on d. NJ. &
N. special, and it is said that he sat up
on the High Bridge" waving a red
lantern all night in his efforts to obtain
this international news for the always
truthful. This is the first time he has
been out of his Office for twenty years.
The penny press had news-boy detec-
tives scattered all over the city search
ing for the happy pair; and John Hamil-
ton rode the blind end of the baggage
car into Chicago in order to be present
at the arrival of bride and groom in the
Windy City. John does not accept

this fashion. The Leader was all stir.

We have read "a great deal lately
about imperialism. Il read Bryan's
speach about Naboth's Vineyard on
the subject. He had lots of good points
about not annexing the islands or our
government depressing these people.
But didn't agree with HIM in his line
of argument. 1t was these men who
opposed the treaty that are responsible
for the war aud the state of affairs here
now. Our government is surely just as
responsible as that of Spain and as
Spain ceded us all her rights and sover-
eighty here all the United States had
to do was to ratify the treaty and then
she could set the islands free and see
that the same kind of government was
established here as in Cuba. And if
they had ratified the treaty immediate-

to explain and come to an understand

THE MILEAGE LAW.
Judge Wheeler Hands Down = Decision
In the Rutland Railroad Case.

The decision of Judge Hoyt II. Wheeler
OF the United States District Court in the
case of George II. Ball ct ais. W.. the Rut-
land Railroad company. which was heard
on motion for an injunction restraining
the railroad company from selling milo
yes at two cents per mile under the law
made by the last General Assembly, was
med with clerk of the court George r..
Johnson In this city Tuesday. The deci-
sion is that the motion as to the Rutland
railroad company be granted: and as 10
the board of railroad commissioners and
the several States attorneys through
which the road runs tho motion is de-
MED without prejudice.
The case is a companion case to that of
the st. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain
Railroad in which temporary injunction
row exists. 1t was argued at the Feb
ruary term of the United States Courts
in this city. The case Is an action brought
by stockholders of the railroad against
the Rutland Railroad company, restrain
ing it from complying with the law.
AT the time Of the arguments It was at
tempted by the counsel for the orators to
make the injunction include the railroad
commissioners and the States attorneys,
upon whom the enforcement of the law
deVolves. 1t will be seen that this por-
ton of the motion for injunction was not
sustained. This leaves the officials free TO
act unless the injunction against the rail-
road company is considered a sufficient
answer to any attempt to enforce the law
upon their part, or unless other complca-
lions arise.
Chairman d. J. Foster of the railroad
commissioners was seen by Free Press
