In speaking of the condition OF
Rosemont cemetery it must be borne
in mind that the trustees have only
a limited amount of money at their
disposal and OF course can not do a
great deal in the way Of permanent
improvements. We understand, how
ever. that arrangements are under
way, by which the drive ways will be
improved and a new iron fence placed
the entire length of the lot along The
public road. A matter of great i'm
portance in connection with the care
of the cemetery is the manner in
which the individual owners OF lots
keep them. If the owners Of the va
rious lots would cooperate with The
trustees and those who do not live in
Newberry would authorize the trustees
10 look after their lots, conditions
could be greatly improved with very
little expense or labor on the part OF
anyone. We hope that all parties
concerned will work together and CO.
operate for the Improvement in the
appearance of our city of the dead.

Gradual cessation OF hostilities was

shore there were awaiting his call as
many more as he needed up to 5000

termined not to lose more men than
was absolutely necessary and probably
for this reason did not utilize his
shore forces in charges or to advance
Oh the snipers' positions.
The Mexican regular troops had
practically all left the city and the
firing was carried on by armed citi-
zens and struggling soldiers and po-
licemen.
Among the snipers were many pris-
oners who had been released by Gen.
Gusyavo Mas, commander Of the fed
eral garrison, before he evacuated the
city.
The navy department is arranging
to bring to the United States bodies
of the sailors killed at Vera Cruz and
either forward them to relatives or
make final interment in a national

The number of Mexicans killed yes

wounded. The Mexican loss today is
