A Chicago Diagnosis of Kentucky.
IVY n No.k;f II, China 90 Tribune

CW. d. Nesbit in Chicago Irlbune)
Kentucky's hills are full of rills
And all the rills are lined with stills,
And all the stills are full of giils,
And all the gills are full of thrills
And all the thrills are full of kills.
You see the feudists dot the hills
And camp along the little rilis,
Convenient to the busy stills
And thirsting for the brimming gills,
And when the juice his system fills
Each feudist whoops around and kills.
Now, if they'd only stop the stills
They's cure Kentucky's many ills
Men would be spared to climb the hills.
And operate the busy stills.
However, this would mean more gills
And that. of course, would mean mort
thrills,
Resulting in the same old kills.
So all the hills and rills and stills
And all the gills and thrills and Kills
Are splendid for the coffin mills
And make more undertakers' bills.

in pushing Col. Capron's cavalry back on
the Mount Pleasant and Columbia pike.
Gen. Reilly with his brigade had the ad-
vance.
When within two miles of Columbia
Gen. Cox decided TO take a crossroad
which intersected the Mount Pleasant pike
mile and half from Columbia. He
reached that point at o'clock in the
morning, just as Col. Capron arrived in
hasty retreat before a largely superior
force. Gen. Cox ut once threw forward
a line Of skirmishers, which was sup
ported by the Tooth Ohio from Gen
Reilly's Brigade, the line being formed
nlong the bank of Bigby Greek. This
movement checked the advance Of the
enemy until a proper formation could be
made with the division.
Columbia is situated on the south side
and in a bend of Duck River. The rail.
road TO Nashville is west Of and crosses
the river two miles below the town. The
river has a ford near at hand. The ad
vance of the Fourth Corps reached Colum
bia by 10 o'clock; by noon the Second and
Third Divisions were in position.

BATTLE OF SANTIAGO.
As is well known, Admiral Cervera' S
squadron, upon the investment of the City
of Santiago by the Army and Navy, at
tempted to leave the harbor, on the morn
ing Of July B, and was completely destroy
ed in an action which in its brilliancy and
decisiveness stands side by side with the
battle of Manila.
Although the COmmander-in-Ch Chief was
s,ime miles away at the beginning of the
action, his plans were followed by Com
modore Schley and the Captains of our
ships, which closed in with great gal
lantry, spirit and effectiveness, and the
result showed in striking manner how
important an element in naval warfare are
the officers in command and the men be
hind the guns. In this battle both won
and deserved immortal fame. 1t is diff
cult to account for the inetficiency Of the
Spaniards, who are brave men, and for
their overwhelming defeat, except upon
the ground of the great accuracy of our
own fire, the splendid spirit and dash of
our attack, and the fact that the enemy,
instead of making stand-up fight, had
only in mind to escape.
News of the victory was not had until
late on the evening of the Sd. Early on
the morning of that day, information was
received that q retreat of the army be-
fore Santiago was contemplated, and that
the fleet under Admiral Cervera had sue
ceeded in making an exit from the harbor
and escaping.
The official dispatch from Admiral
Sampson was not received until about mid
day on the 4th. 1t announced the entire
destruction of the Spanish Squadron, con-
sisting of the Cristoba! Colon, Vizcaya,

stationed at this central point in order
that it might go to any port on the At
lantic coast which should be menaced by
Spanish feet, or be able promptly to re-
inforce the fleet in Cuban waters should
the Spanish endeavor to raise the block
ade.
Capt. W. T. Sampson, q. s. N, was
assigned to the command of the North
Atlantic fleet on March 26 to succeed
Rear-Admiral Sicard, U. S. N, whom, on
account of his health, it was found neces-
sary to relieve from his onerous and ey-
acting duty. Upon the detachment Of Ad-
| miral Sicard, Capt. Sampson was the
senior officer present. He was thoroughly
| familiar with the personnel and materiel
of the fleet and with all the arrangements
| which had been made Immediately before
the war, and the Department had every
| confidence in his judgment and profes-
sional ability. Upon the outbreak Of hos
tilities on April 81, he was assigned to the
command Of the United States naval force
on the North Atlantic station with the
rank Of Rear-Admiral.
1t proved to be wise selection in every
respect. 1t is fair to say greater mere
naval responsibilities rested on Admiral
Sampson than on any other officer during
the war. They were discharged with great
ability and without error. The number OF
ships and men subject to his comma nd
was larger than those Of any other officer
His duties were Of complicated and very
onerOus character; they began with the be.
| ginning of the war and lasted until its
close. Aside from the routine of CORE.
spondence and the details of so extensive
and exacting a command, there were three
great objects to be accomplished by him
First, the maintenance Of the, blockade
Of the island Of Cuba; second, the pursuit
and destruction Of the Spanish Atlantic
fleet; third, the work Of conveying, land.
ing, and cooperating with, the army in the
movement upon Santiago and afterward
upon Porto Rico. How thoroughly all
this was done 10 now matter Of history.
The command of the Flying Squadron
upon Its formation was given to Com
modore W. s. Schley, u. 8. NJ, who was
informed that In case Of the juncture OF

pedo-boat Farragut ready for sea was
commenced this evening and it is ex-
pected that the vessels will be ready
TO sail within the next few days. An
order for new machinery for the boats
was placed in the East some time ago,
but the officials will not wait for it to
arrive here. The necessary machin-
cry will be improvised at Mare Island
so as to avoid any unnecessary de-
lay. The supply of coal, ammunition
and provisions here is sufficient TO
stock the fleet for the present and the
officers believe that everything will be
soon in readiness.
1t is the intention of the Govern
ment to use the boats to patrol the
shallow waters around Panama and
prevent an attack by Colombia on the
new republic. The boats draw but
little water and are in every way
adapted to patrol service.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Dec. 11.-Twen-
ty mounted policemen are securing the
plains south of Calgary tonight
searching for Henri Cashel, sentenced
to be hanged next Tuesday for mur-
der. Cashel escaped last night from
the mounted police barracks jail,
where three big policemen were con-
stantly on duty watching the death
chamber. Up to a late hour tonight
Cashel had not been found 1t is
thought that he crossed the American
boundary.
Constable Piper ordered the con-
demned man out Of his cell last night
until he could search ii, according to
daily instructions. Outside the door
standing guard were two more officers,
Leslie and Phillips. Cashel went out
and sat on bench in front of a win
dow facing the street. Piper, after
the search. ordered Cashel back to the
cell. whereupon the prisoner suddenly
flashed two revolvers in the faces of
the guards and ordered all three into
the cell he had just vacated. He took

shackled feet to the place where the
keys were kept, removed the shackles,
and after taunting the guards kissed
his hand to them by way of adieu and
left the barracks. Fifteen minutes
later the night guard entered the bar
racks and found the three mounted po-
policemen in Cashiers cell.
Cashel stole a horse at the edge OF
the town and was not seen afterward
A formal reprieve was granted to-day
in his case by the Government. If this
were not done he would be legally dead
after next Tuesday and the law could
not operate against him. The officials
therefore issued a declaration that his
execution had been postponedsfor four

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE birth
of the republic of Panama and its
recognition by this Government was
the subject of a spirited debate in the
House to-day. Dinsmore CD of Ar

pensions appropriation bill. severely
criticized the administration in connec-
ton with the canal and Mr.. Hit (R.)
Of Illinois, chairman of the Foreign
Affairs Committee. replied in a vigor-
Gus defense of the President and his
Central American policy.
Williams CD of Mississippi, the mi
nority leader, replied to Hit. declar-
ing that the minority did not condone
the part taken by this Government in
connection with Panama affairs.
Nearly the whole of the four hours
session was taken up in a discussion
of the isthmian question. No conclu-
sion was reached on the pension bill.
Van Voorhees, (F4.) of Ohio, of the Ap-
propriations Committee, made state
ment concerning the provisions of the
bill, when the debate digressed to the
subject of Panama. The House ad
iourned over until Monday.

impute dishonorable or improper mo-
tives.to the officers of the Government.

he showed the growth OF the citrus

OF that State generally, calling atten-
tion to their high standing as citizens
and agriculturalists and to the fact
that they have devoted their time. en-
ergies and fortunes to the upbuilding
Of great industries. which this bill will
most seriously affect. He referred TO
the five-year clause Of the measure and
said that he believed a more definite
term should have been provided and
that it is incorrect to say that the
treaty will continue for five years only.
that IL will continue indefinitely until
notice be given by either party Of its
intention TO terminate the same. He
asked:
Who is to give this notice? The Ex-
ecutive will surely not do it without
the authority of Congress, and when
it shall be more clearly seen than now
that our industries are threatened with
destruction. the notice will not be
given by Congress if at that time it
