SPANISH SAILORS WE'RE TOO
WIDE AWAKE.

''At last the hour of the battle arriv
ed. And here comes a most infamous
SANDER for it has been said that our
sailors were asleep and were only
awakened by the report of the cannon
of the enemy. This was not true, for
none of US ever expected to see sunset
again. We were wide awake too wide
awake. Would that we could have shut
our eyes to the terrible fate in store
for US Each one of us resigned himself
to die for the good of the country.
"All night was preparing the squad
ron for the fight, and I was well in
formed of every movement of the en-
envy, and taking into consideration my
telegraphic communications, 1 expected
that they would not enter in the night,
at midnight, as did actually happen.
Naturally, the enemy was well inform
ed, as was evidenced by the documents
that nysteriously disappeared from the
Office of the secretary of war at Madrid.
Our government received all the in
formation regarding the Americans
which they needed, but they neglected
their duty with the naval as well as
with the military commanders.
"a lie, to the effect that 1 was sur

in circulation. This statement 1 do nit

DE LAMAR Is In ASHES
A Disastrous Fire Swept Over
the Town on Tuesday
Evening.
TEE Loss Is ESTIMATED At sso.Uo
Greater Portion of Place De-
stroyed and Many Peo-
pie Homeless.

A disastrous fire occurred at De
Lamar. Lincoln county. New, on the
evening Of June -. which wiped out
the greater portion Of the town and
involved q loss of $4,000. Aspecisl
dispatch to the Salt Lake Tribune
thus describes the coniagration.
At 5 O'Clock this evening fire was
discovered issuing from an old stock
ade back of the Edwards saloon, on
the north side of Main street. in De
Lamar, which spread with such q
pidity that it seemed impossible to
check it. The White Pine lodging
house soon fell to the ground. and
the Schaefer Grand Opera House and
saloon we're next Tapped by the
flames.
The fire by this time had gained
such Roadway tina. the total destruc-
ton of the town seemed inevitable.
From the Schaefsr Grand it jumped
across to the south side of the street,
took in John Roeder's house and
some fifteen buildings TO the east of
it. and also the Episcopal church. To
the east and north OF the Schaefer
Grand everything was wiped ont, in
GLIDING the largest lodging house in
the town.
Heroic efforts were made TO save
that portion of the town which lies
to the west of the Edwards saloon
and stockade, at which place the fire
started. Both mining companies
called all their men out of the mines,
and everyone worked with a will.
Giant powder was used to blow up
some Of the houses so as TO clear q
space to check the fire, water being
q scarce article, al the service is prac-
tically Of no value for fire purposes.
The Messenger, Clark Bros store,
Poujade restaurant. John Shier's
drug store, Benz. Sanders law Office
and n. P. Dooley's store were all
burned, the fire being checked at At
kins' barber shop. which wa next to
Dooley's store.
Alarge force of men was kept con
stantly at the De Lamar Company's
wood-pile to check any start that
might be made, and good work was
done there by the men.
OF the burned portion nothing
whatever was saved, and many fam
lilies lost everything they had. Al
this writing 70 P. NJ the fire is un
der control. The loss is estimated at
$50 5000; insurance about 10000.

The Avery Hand Drill.

A thorough test Of the new Avery
Patent Hand Drill was made at the
Ophir mine at Virginia City on We'd
nesday, and, it is said, with highly
satisfactory results, the test showing
that it has more than double the eff
cacy of the ordinary hand drill.
The Chronicle thus describes the
working of the new drill: The drill
rests on a bar to which it is held by a
screw and can be adjusted to any posi-
ton desired either in drilling upper,
lower or breast holes and is adjustable
for any sized drill required. 1t turns
automatically, the motion OF the body,
to which a lanyard is attached, turning
the drill with every stroke OF the
hammar.

THE PRICE OF LEAD.
Trust Il Held R~espensfbIe for h
Fall In Price.

The Mining and Scientific Press OF
May 26 thus sizes up the recent de-
cline in the price Of lead:
"a drop Of nearly l cent per pound
in the price of lead during the month
is noticeable. While the present price
is considerably better than that OF Aug
ust 2, 1895, wheni it was 81 30 per hun
dred pounds. yet its sudden tumble
from the 81 70 OF q few weeks ago is
dispiriting to producers. The cause
of the drop is purely arbitrary it is
done solely because the controlling
trust has the power to put the price up
or down at the will of its directors. Ii
is now characteristic OF the managers
Of any Of the great trusts to use their
power to affect stocks, as liz the recent
case of J.. w. Gates of the American
Steel & Wire Co. There is no legiti-
mate trade reason for the drop in lead.
| There is a steady demand, and the
uses to which it is adapted are multi
| plying. Tariff protection is a good
| thing, but its good effects should be
| extended to the ore producers. When
| the smelter combine was formed one
| Of the arguments was that it would re-
| duce the cost to the consumer and per
NIT the miner to get more for bis ore.
The result is just the reverse-the con-
sumner is paying more, the miner get
| ting less. The import duty is a help,
but its helpful effect should be more
mutual. Just now it is decidedly one
| sided.u

JOHN REYNOLDS DEAD.
Early Pioneer Settler of kenosha
County Passes Away at His Home
in Pleasant Prairie.
GAINED FAME AS BLACKSMITH
was Known to Almost Every thurman in
the World as Blacksmith anc Snoo
Many Famous Race Horses,

JohnsReyno1ds, brother of Samuel
Reynolds of this city, and one OF the
early pioneer settlers of southport
died Friday morning at his home IN the
town of Pleasant Prairie. Death came
as a result of long illness from
Bright's disease. The deceased had
been sick for more than year, and for
the last six months he had been con-
fined to his home in Pleasant Prairie.
The death of John Reynolds marks
the passing of one of the best known
men in the county. He was a man
who had gained renown in one OF the
1ow1y walks of life. He taught the
world that a smithy working at his
forge early and late could be an artist.
John Reynolds was a blacksmith ana
on this one fact rests his fame. BY 1t
he became known to all the followers
of the turf and he had the honor OF
shoeing many of the fastest horses
that ever stepped on any track IN the
world. Ia his line he was famous and
for years many famous stables OF
trotters and PAGERS refused to have
their horses shod by any one but the
Pleasant Prairie blacksmith. When
Jay Eye See, the famous trotter OF }. l.
Case, made his records, he wore shoes
put on by John Reynolds, and when
Nancy Hanks broke the worlds record
it was John Reynolds that had placed
the shoes on the fast mare. For years
his services were in great demand and
he was sent for from all parts OF the
country. In early life Mr.. Reynolds
studied the horses hoof and learned
all there was to know about 1T. lie
was the friend of the dumb brute and
he had a record of never having
horse brought to him which he could
not handle. For the past six months
the little shop in Pleasant Prairie has
been closed so far as the original
owner was concerned, and no one has
been found to take Misplace
Mr.. Reynolds came to America from
Wales. He was a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Owen Reynolds and was born in July,
1921. He came to America in 1910 and
five years later he came to Kenosha.
He resided here until 1860, when he re-
moved with his family to the town of
Pleasant Prairie, where he has since
resided. A wife and large family of
children survive.

A HUNDRED NATURALIZED.
They Come From All European Countries
Politicians Kept Busy.

The Clerk of the Circuit Court is
very busy these days making out
''frst papers, for foreigners who de-
sire to vote at the coming National
election. There have been over hun
dred of thespapers issued in the last
few days, and this fact shows that the
politicians are exceedingly active.
The men are being entered by both
Republicans and Democrats. Every
nationality is represented in the list of
new citizens. There are Poles and
Bohemians, Russians and Danes,
Germans and Italians, and, now and
then, one or two have dropped in to
renounce their allegiance to CHER
Royal Highness" the Queen of Eng
land.
Most of the new citizens, however,
come either from Poland or Bohemia.
Both parties are making a big bid for
the Polish vote. The large number of
these foreigners seeking citizenship
presents many interesting facts and
problems. It shows that the popu1a-
ton of Kenosha is getting to be more
of foreign nature every day. Hard
1y day passes that large numbers of
foreigners do not arrive here. They
find work in the different factories of
the city, and, after few years they
build their homes here and become
good American citizens.
Many of the foreigners, however,
remain here for a long time before
they give up their allegiance to their
father1and, and it is estimated that
fully one-third of the foreign born
population of Kenosha have not taken
out their first papers. The rush at the
clerks office will probably continue
until the last registration day.
