OFF FOR THE FRONT.
Some Events In Which Akron Boys
+ Took Part Four Years Ago.

Four years ago at this time. one
hundred Akron boys were humble per-
formers in a great war drama, the
performance of which made several
large chunks of American history.
Company B was one of the best COM
panies in the Eighth regiment, and
the Eighth was considered the best
volunteer regiment at Camp Alger,
where the troops were being held in
reserve and the men carefully trained
for emergencies which might arise
any day, in the Spanish-American
campaign.
The men were anxious to see real
service, and only few weeks before
the Fourth of July, they had been dis
appointed In their desire to get to the
front by reason of the fact that the
orders that came from them We're re-
called and General Duffield's brigade
was sent instead, in spite of the fact
that the Eighth had broken camp and
was waiting command to 60 to take
trains for q point Of embarkation.
On July Fourth, Simpsons message
telling of the destruction of the Span
ish fleet was received and the en-
thusiasm of the whole nation knew
no bounds. There was especial re-
joicing among the troops of the
American army In camp at the sew
eral training points. Almost stimuli
taneously with the receipt of this in
formation, there came plea from
General Shafter for more troops, for
he saw that unless Santiago surrend-
cred without a struggle, one Of the
greatest battles of modern times
would be necessary to dislodge the
Spaniards from their strong position.
Skaters cry for help was answered
by the issuing of orders to another
brigade at Camp Alger, including the
Eighth Ohio, to embark at once for
Cuba. With the receipt of these Or
ders all was Immediately activity in
the Eighth Ohio, and the troops pro,
ceeded Immediately to break camp
July 5. 1898
Having their equipment packet in
little more than an hour, they were
marched to Dunn Loring, about mile
away. late in the afternoon. and hav.
ing arrived there they encamped in
the middle of a road until nearly
morning when they finally secured
the trains necessary to take them to
New York city where the Steamship
st. Paul was loading supplies as rap,
idly as possible, for the purpose OF
taking them to Cuba. esas
The other regiments of the brigade

/ were embarked at Newport News, but
were not landed in Cuba. They were
held for a few days in the vicinity of
the Santiago operations and were thu
part Of the army which invaded
Rico and accomplished the
campaign mapped out for tho
lands.
The Eighth was loaded, in three
sections, on trains at Dunn Loring,
and a fast run was made over the
great line Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
way Co., through Washington, Balti-
more and Philadelphia. to New York.
Ferries at Jersey City took the sol
diers across the river to New York,
where they were within a few hundred
yards from the dock where floated
the great ocean greyhound. the st.
Paul.
This was the first real touch with
the instruments of war at close quar-
ters, and most of the men were lost
in admiration, for the great craft.
They went aboard in short time,

record-breaking trip, arriving off San
tiago on July TO- 4,
There was then n truce between the
Spanish and American armies, the
Spaniards We're considering the ad-
visibility Of surrender. It is said that
the sight Of this fresh regiment hur-
rying to join the other troops. went
far in convincing the Spaniards that
surrender was the one thing left for
them. The unloading of the troops at
Siboney was plainly visible to the
Spanish on their Notifications, where
they watched through their glasses.
With the celebration of the Fourth
here Friday, the memories Of that
time were re-aroused In the breasts
of the Akron boys who took part in
that campaign, and many a heart
thrilled when its owner thought OF
the days when the Eighth was such
much wanted regiment, only few
short years age.

INDEPENDENT
STEEL PLANT
Arrangements Made to Build One
at Canton.

Pittsburg. Pa, July Members Of
the Independent Sheet Steel Manufac-
turer's association have arranged to
erect an extensive steel plant to further
protect themselves against the prohib.
tive prices which the United States
Steel corporation is alleged to have
put on their crude material.
Interests associated with the Carna-
hol Tinplate Co., and the Canton Roll
ing Mill Co.. and others of the mem
bers Of the new organization of inde-
pendent sheet manufacturers have had
plans drawn in Pittsburg by Victor
Beutner for a steel plant to be located
at Canton, o. -
The new concern, which will be
known as the United States Steel Co.,
will invest $500, 900 and expects to have
the new plant in operation by the
first of next March.
Prices keep the independent sheet
and tinplate concerns out Of the mar
ket. which is now lower than when

DANCED WHILE
DEATH CAME

Chicago, July 7.--Laughing over the
success that attended her quest in a
strange neighborhood for drug store,
n young girl danced over the street
In Cottage Grove ave. today and into
Washington park at Fifty-fifth ST.
She paused beneath the shelter of a
tree and spoke few words to a
youth who was waiting there for her,
and then drained the contents of a
bottle Of carbolic acid. The police at
the Hyde park station failed to estab.
lish the identity of the suicide, whose
age is variously guessed to be between
13 and Is years.
Her companion fled across the com
mon and she ran after him At the
Cottage Grove ave. sidewalk she stag.
gered, and two men who were close
by caught her in their arms. Her
lips and chin were terribly burned
by the acid but she was smiling In
spite Of the pain, and they carried her
back to a chair in the park, where she
died.

FREEDOM
Now Enjoyed by
AguinaIdo.
Afraid to Appear on
Streets During Day,
Fearing Luna's Friends. ans
Wants American Protection.


Manila, July 7.--As "A result Of the
proclamation of amnesty July 4 the
guard of American soldiers has been
withdrawn from the. house where
Agulnaldo lived in Manila, and Lieut..
johnson, Aguinaido's custodi- q,
brought the Filipino Sunday to see
Gen. Chaffee. 1t was the first meeting
between the American general and
the leader Of the Filipino revolution
Lieut.. William Il. McKinlay Of the
Ninth cavalry acted as interpreter.
Aguinaldo was told that he was free
to go anywhere he pleased and Gen.
Chaffee asked him IL he had any com,
plant to make Of American discourtesy
or harshness Aguinaldo replied that
he had no such complaint to make
He told Gen. Chaffee that he was 60
ing to visit friends at his home in Ca
wife Viejo, in Cavite. province, and in
quired what protection the American
authorities would afford him. He seem
ed to be afraid to venture out. Gen
Chaffee replied that Aguinaldo would
get the same protection as any other
citizen. A,{a.t,
The former Filipino. lender then
asked Gen. Chaffee to prevent the
courts from requiring him to testify
in civil suits. Gen. Chaffee replied
that he had no authority to grant his
request, and advised Aguinaldo t.
make a social call upon acting Civi
Governor Wright. This Aguinaldt
said he would do, but that he woult
go at night, as he was timid about ap-
pearing in the streets in daylight
The release Of the former Filipino
leader has renewed speculation as t.
possible vengeance upon him by friend,
of Luna and his other enemies. Luna
was Filipino leader whom Aguinaldt
caused to be killed in 1892.
A number Of the former followers o.
the insurgent general Lukban who op
Grated and was finally captured or
the island of Samar are being exam
ined here on the charge of rnisappro

Chaffee has permitted Bukban to q

BROWN ROT INJURIES PEACHES.
Crop VIII BE Cut on One-FOurth,
Says EntOmOIogist Scott.

Atlanta, April 2S.-The peach crop.
says State Entomoligist w. M. Scott,
is suffering severely from the brown
rot, and the chances are that one
fourth or more of the peaches now on
the trees will be destroyed. Already
one orchard, that of John NJ. Stubs,
of Laurens county. has been entirely
cleaned out this year by that disease,
and it is getting in it's work to a small
extent in all of the orchards. Not
withstanding these facts Mr.. Scott is
still of the opinion that there will be
a good crop, though it will be consid-
erably short of the average.
