The Fourth at Santiago.

1.-The Fourth of July, 1898, was really
the most spectacular one ever witnessed,
says Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans in
the New York Press.
"We were lying outside Santiago harbor
after the sinking of the Spanish fleet on
the Bird of July.
81 had been working hard on the Bird
and was up all night and had retired
about 10 @ clock on the Fourth to get a
much needed rest.
''About II O clock my orderly came to
my bed and, flashing bullseye lantern in
my face, said:
GO another boat is coming out, sir.
'' That can't be, | answered.
1" Yes, sir. I saw her, sir, he reiter
ated
"By the time I reached the deck the
Texas and Massachusetts, on watch, had
their searchlights upon her, and we read
plainly Reina Mercedes. And then began
the first battle in the history of the world
by searchlight.
sThe Texas opened up her twelve inch
guns, and the first shot struck the Reina
Mercedes broadside. Then followed a
fusillade from the Massachusetts,, while the
whole fleet moved up for position in the
fray.
s'Then the shore batteries and forts
opened fire, and shells fell thick and fast
about u.s. For Fourth of July celebration
and noise for excitement, enthusiasm and
patriotism, that Fourth of July, 1898,
stands out as the most spectacular one in
my experience"

81 Dead, 2153 Hurt.

CHICAGO, July 5.-The Tribune today
says 81 men, women and children are dead
and 2l53 are manned, lacerated or burned
as the result of yesterdays excess of
patriotism in the United States. The
number of the dead does not include five
drowned during the day.
The roster of the dead is four more than
last year, mortality. A year ago 33 per-
sons were dead on the morning after the
Fourth, not including five drowned.
Unfortunately, the death roll will in
crease day by day, and even the late days
of August will witness additions to it.
Tetanus claims its victims by scores, and
even by hundreds, for weeks after the
Fourth.
New York leads all the cities of the
country in the number of killed and in
jured. Ten persons are dead in that city,
while six more are so seriously hurt that
it is expected they will die in a few hours.
At the New York hospitals 423 injured
persons we're treated. No record was
made of the number of dispensary cases
cared for.
There were 116 fires in Greater New
York during the day. These figures break
all Fourth of July records for the big met
ropolis. Pittsburg ran New York close
second in the grim race, nine persons yield
ing up their lives on the altar of frenzied
patriotism.
Chicago, although the second city Of the
country, added only two dead to the
nations total.
Springfield, ILL.,, supplied three victims;
Chatham, ILL.,. two, and Aberdeen, s. D.,
two.
The total number of injured, 2153, is
under last year s figures, which were 27S9.
The figures show that this year, as last,
most of the casualties were due to careless
ness in handling fire crackers and other
forms of harmless explosives.
The crusade against the deadly toy
pistol seems to be bearing fruit, as this year
only 2O5 victims are reported. as against
304 last year.

Rockefeller Bought Town

WASHINGTON, July 5.--An investiga-
tion has been ordered by Postmaster Gen
eral Meyer, with view to determining
whether postoffice discontinued at the
town of Brandon, N Y, shall be re-estab-
lished there.
According to the papers on file, it. ap-
pears that several years ago William Rookie
feller, who owns large estate, comprising
more than so, 900 acres, in the vicinity of
Tarrytown, conceived the idea of acquiring
the site of the town of Brandon to fill out
his estate. Brandon was fourishing place
with a postoffice and several stores Mr..
Rockefeller purchase all of the property
from its owners, except one small tract that
was owned by Civil War veteran named
Lamora. Lamora refused to sell, and per-
sisted in fishing in stream which ran
through Mr.. Rockefeller's estate and in
using the roads which had been open to the
public for generation. The postofice at
Brandon was abolished and another was
opened at Bay Pond, three miles within
the confines of Mr.. Rockefeller estate.
There the people who formerly received
their mail at Brandon were expected to get
their letters.
Lamora was arrested for trespass on Mr..
Rockefeller estate and he and his friends
fought the case in the courts, but even
tually were defeated. A court order was
made preventing Lamura in person or by
an agent from going on to the estate of
Mr. Rockefeller, and it is stated that,
therefore, he was unable to obtain mail for
him directed to the Bay Pond Office.
The matter was brought to the attention
Of Postmaster General Meyer through let
tiers received from various parts of the
country, and he has determined not only
to ascertain the facts regarding it, but to
re-establish the postoffice at Brandon or at
some near by point outside of the Rookie
feller estate which will be convenient for
the people of that vicinity.
