Capture of Vera Cruz in 1S47.
Continued from page I, column g
sitting on the ground near me-


Vera Cruz, March 22.-'Today at
2 o'clock we summoned the town to
surrender, which they, of course de-
clined. At p. m. we opened fire
with nine mortars, and Immediately
the batteries of every fort in town
and the castle concentrated their fire
on our mortars. For an hour you
cannot imagine the scene. You
could see the balls dancing on the
plain-the shells bursting in the air
and exploding on the ground send
ing the sand skyward. The gun
boats of the navy dropped in near
the shore and opened on the town
this continued all evening. At
sundown the navy drew off. but our
mortars are still at work and the
town and forts replying now and
then. You can hear from the
trenches the crash Of the houses as
the immense shells fall among them.
May God have mercy on the poor,
helpless inhabitants!
1--WE had two men wounded and
an officer, John R. Venton, killed.
This is the extent of the injury done
to-day"
Vera Cruz, March 23.-"The fir
ing continued all night. The gun
boats came UP again just as the sun
rose. The town was evolved in
smoke. Vera Cruz is not ours yet"
Vera Cruz, March 25.-''The
shells are still flying in every direc-
tion on the devoted city. Tonight
the foreign consuls sent a messenger
to Gen. Scott begging for a truce
to permit the neutrals to leave the
city, also the women and children.
Tomorrow an answer will be sent
"a refusal, suppose. I wish they
would surrender and make peace, for
I am sick at heart at seeing these
devastating shells thrown into a
populous city. This is not a feature
of war that brave men consider"
Vera Cruz, March 30.-"Yester-
day the town surrendered and their
troops, about FIVE thousand, march
ed between ours, formed into two
lines, and stacked their arms. This
about 10 o'clock. AS soon as this
was over, our troops took possession
of the castle and different forts and
the battery at the Plaza, and as our
soldiers marched in the colors were
hoisted and salutes fired from the
works and Plaza
''It was a lovely morning, though
rather warm, and the glorious sun
seemed to shine the brighter to teach
poor man how contemplate the pan
tomine he was playing. AS the wo-
men and children and soldiers wives
filed past 1 could not but feel
melancholy I saw a son with an
aged mother strapped to his back
tottering under the weight of filial
love- A young woman with an in
fant at her breast, and still another
almost mother. When we passed
the walls and got into the streets,
we first began. to realize the injury
we had inflicted. Tottering houses
and fallen ba1conies-and streets
filed with debris-the hospitals suf-
fered the most and in one of them
a shell exploded, wounding several
persons. The soldiers suffered but
little loss, perhaps some thirty or
forty killed and wounded, our own
near the same. The town is perfect
ly quiet, except where the intem-
perance of our soldiers make trou-
Bile. You know among the many
elements composing an army, there
will be some rascals. Many think
this will be the last battle"

If the State convention will take
positive measures against betting on
elections much will have been done
towards safeguarding and reforming
the primary. The resolutions Of
fereed in the Bamberg county con-
vention by Hon. S. G. Mayfeld and
unanimously adopted were along the
right line. Betting on elections is
prolific source of fraud and corrup-
ton.

FAILED TO MEET APPROVAL
Record of Works cf Famous Authors That Made at First No Appeal to
 Publishers.

Ffelding's Tom Jones" was refused by every London publisher. After the author had made a name as a drama tist, however one of the publishers iwho had refused the book brought it out and made fortune from it.
 Thackeray's Vanity Fair" went the rounds of the publishers for years. The day after it's appearance Thackeray was famous.
 Mrs. Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin" was refused by dozen publishers and the author finally brought the book out at her own expense. It made her rich.
 Marie Corelli's first book. "A Ro- nance of Two Worlds" was refused by the publishers of two worlds and trav- eled round and round for three years before a sponsor was found for it.
 Sarah Grand's Heavenly Twins was refuse by practically every pub fisher in London, so the author brought it out herself. She is rich today.
 Sir Richard Burton could find no publisher who would give him more than $1.500 for his great work, The Arabian Nights" translation. He brought the translation out at his own expense and cleared $40,000 the first year.

'PANCHO' VILLAS
 LIFE AS BANDIT \
 AND WARRIOR
Remarkable Story of Career of
 Mexican Rebel.
DEFlED RURALES 14 YEARS
Az Wealthy Young Farmer He Kills Sisters Suitor - Leads Band of outiaws-Now Hero of Many
 Hard-Earned Battles

Chicago.-A remarkable story of the career of "Pancho" Villa, the rebel general of Mexico wifo recently captured Torreon and who is known as Mexico's greatest fighting man, was told in Chicago. The narrator was Robert Anderson. 127 Sheldon street. who for seven years has lived in Tor reon and who Is waiting here for the chaos to subside before he returns 70 The Chicago of Mexico"
 MT. Andersons story deals with four chapters in the Mexican fighters life It tells of Villa the peaceable farmer, of Villa the avenger of a wronged sister, of Villa the bandit. and of Villa the general. The nara tive as related by Mir. Anderson fol lows:
 1.-The Young Farmer.
 In a fertile valley among the hills that surround the Mexican city of Torreon there lived fifteen years ago sturdy young farmer whose efforts supported his aged parents and two sisters, both younger than himself. The ranch was small. yet there was noue in all Durango more productive. Each year its yield was more bounti- ful and the young farmer was glad. for soon he hoped to inherit the prop erty from his father and conduct 1t for himself and his sisters. He was a quiet and peace-loving person, this young man of fifteeS years ago. To day mere mention of his name strikes terror to the heart of Provisional President Huerta and his troops. But that is getting ahead of the story.
 The young rancher was Francesca Villa (proneuneed Vee.ya). nicknamed "Pancho," the same "Paneho' Villa who recently captured Torreon and who is looked upon as the greatest fighting man in all turbulent Mexico.
 Young Villa loved his sisters. dear ly Both of them were extremely beautiful Mexican girls. dark. with long, straight black hair and blacaish brown, sparkling eyes that never were still or course. the Villa girls were popular with the neighboring young ranchers, who sought them as com pany on long gallops over the roads through the woods adjoining Torreon "Pancho' looked with disfavor upon his sisters suitors He feared that among them might be two who could gain the love of the girls and marry them, and. of course, take them from the Villa ranch.
 Rancho" even spoke his thoughts to his sisters. They laughed at him and tossed their heads defantly. Their

man had talked through the air from New York to Philadelphia.
 Now comes assurance that with in year we shall be able to talk by wireless across the Atlantic. Tes- tifiing the other day before the wireless commission of the Cana dian government, Godfrey Isaacs, managing director of the Marconi company, declared that apparatus now in hand demonstrated that the distance of communication depends entirely on the power of the ma chine, and in a few months MT. Marconi will have the equipment and power to telephone from Wales to New York. He predicts that wireless telephony will soon be possible between all stations com munieating by wireless telegraph, and that it will be just as easy to talk between Paris and Boston as to send the usual dots and dashes.
 This announcement is particular ly impressive because all attempts to use transatlantic cables as tele- phone wires have failed.
