VUWtt WMVW MMg H The rich island of Cuba wag once in the possession of England. I In the spring of 17(12 a fleet, left Falmouth for the "West Indies. George, the third Earl of Albeirnarle, "W. 23! ET, Solicts ,1 Share of omtnanded the expedition, while under him served his two brothers. Ou JuueG, 17G2, the fleet cast anchor before Havana with an array of IV 000 men on board. At daybreak on the 7th the seige commenced. The art of waging war in the hot climates is choosen the cool season of the year. Unfortunately for the British Cjba was extremely hot and unhealthy iu the month of June, and it was therefore the very worst season in which the seige of Havana could have been attempted. After Havana had fallen the Earl r?f Alhoniorlo rornf/i hr>rno tn fhft fiPfV retary of state.: "We are now better acquainted with the climate than we were when the present expedition was undertaken and it is ceitain that the only season in the yeai for troops to act in is from the beginning cf November to the latter end of March.'' The morro fort was the chief point of resistance it guarded the entrance to the harbor of Havana. Supporting the guns of the fort were eleven Spanish men-of-war. Six of these cunied seventy guns, one carried ninety-four and the remainder were | sixty-gun ships. It took three weeks to get the seige guns landed and .in position. The Spaniards fought bravely and did great damage to the attacking fleet. By the middle of July the defense was practically at an end. On Aug. 12 articles of capitulation were signed and the victors proudly set up the British flag in Havana after a spiendid fight for the richest city in the Indies. At the assault of Moro 700 Spaniards were killed, wounded and taken prisoners. The Spanish loss alto- | gether was not less than 5,000 men. The British losses were 5G0 during the fight and by the end of October (tl^e men had been dying ofiflike flies from sickness owing to the climate) the death roll arose to the enormous number of 4,708. Although Albemarle fent ofif a j great number of survivors to-New York to recruit their health the mortality was very great there, and he eventually found himself in command of only 2,000 men. It is interesting to note in passing that his estimate of the force necessary to hold Cuba was G,OO0 men. Spain to-day has more than 100,000 men in Cuba. On Febuary 10, 17G2. the treaty of Paris was concluded between England, France and Spain, and Cuba passed again under Spanish rule, being given up almost for the asking. Notice to School Trustees.

"While I dislike newspaper contro- ' versy, I cannot remain silent when 1 accused of speakiog (or writing) j falsely, when I tried as I said in my article, to give a truthful statement. Yet the "Town Council'' brands my account as untrue while their own differs very little from mine. As to tbeir having notified our pastor the afternoon before, we knew nothing o it, as none of us saw him that afternoon or the next day, as owing to a pressing engagement he was not present. We certainly were informed on the morning of fith that the Town Council at first wanted us to pay $5 license, but after considering the matter, decided to reduce it to $2.50 That this was told to my informant, early in the moring, by the one sent to collect the license fee wo have not a shadow of a doubt, else how would he have known that that body had discussed it at all? There is truth in my statement after all however much the Town Council would like to impress the public to the contrary. It seems odd that the Town Council should take up the idea of raising their fee ju3t prior to this church barbecue, if their feelings toward our band was one of good will, and why should they have demanded thiemoney paid in advance under threat. Did they think we were dishonest? Is it customary to collect such dues upon all similar occasions in advance ? Furthermore, what more need had they for a police than if there had been just a picnic dinner * The reunion whould have been held there anyway, consequently the crowd just as great. We do not flatter ourselves that anybody came just to eat a barbecue dinner with us. The dinner was furnished for the crowd, and not the crowd gathered for the dinner. I sincerely hope, that those who did in anyway lend us a helping hand will accept our hearty thanks, and not think them any the less sincere from their coming at this late day, as it was unintentionally omitted in my first. I had not visited Cbapin since the death of its owner and founder, the grand old man whose name it bears, who was known and loved by all of us, and we feel confident had this occurred during his lifetime we would have received a different reception. We will pull off our "fault-finding glasses,'' throw the mantle of charity around your faults, and make you a solemn promise that, from now, henceforth and forevermore, we will not impose ourselves, in like manner, upon your hospitality. Neither letractions nor apologies are in order. One of the Band. September 15, 1898. Hcme-Seeke:s Excursions. On the first and third Tuesdays in September and October, I SOS the Chicago.

I will not name the regiment of which the soldier was a member, but at the moment of making the famous charge up San Juan hill, this man evidently determined that he would save himeelf. Near the regiment was a big pile of corrugated iron roofing. The foldier in the hurry of the charge got behind this corrugated iruD, regarding it as the safest place in sight. He didn't know that material had bet 11 placed there by the Spaniards ?.9 a range finder, it being just two thousand yards from their earth works. After the battle the soldier was found iu his retreat with at | least fifty bullets in his body. He would not have been in one-bun dredth part of (he danger ho placed ' himself in had he bravely gone up ' the hill amid the storm of bullets.

Another great discovery has been ; made, and that too, by a lady in this ' country. "Disease fastened its clutches upou her and for seven ; years she with stood its severest ! tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed irami- , nent. For three mouths she coughed j incessantly, and could not sleep.

Vesuvius Silled 100. The unique dynamite cruiser Vesu ; vius has joined Admiral Sampson's J squadron in New York bay. The Spaniards called her "The hurler of earthquakes." Commander John E. | Pillsbury talked interestingly of his vessel. "Her guns," said be, "were very effective in their work. The Vesuvius is a great success." The dynamite cruiser only fired 2G shots at the batteries defending the entrance to Santiago harbor. The ; charges of gun cotton varied from 100 to 200 pounds, the aggregate of the explosive hurled at Santiago's defenses being estimated at 4,000 pounds, or as one of the officers put it, "Ten times as much as would be neccessary to blow up every ship now in New Yurk bay, including the | squadron over there, and the countless other boats."

Another Memorial from Mr. Roues The Princely Ex-Confederate, Donates Half for South Carolina ! Monument, to be Erected in Stone- j wall Cemetery, the Balance Raised j Through the Efforts of Mrs. Judge j Win. M. Atkinson. 1 Evening News Item, Va. Our benefactor and true friend, ! Charles Broadway Rouss, has again I exhibited his generosity and love for the Southland and its memories by making a handsome contribution for the purchase of a suitable monument to be erected in the South Carolina lot in our Stonewall Cemetery. Judge Wm. M. Atkinson has received the following letter from Mr. Rouss: New York Cily, Aug. 13, 1898. Mis. Wm. M. Atkinson, TV? ?\ nlvAO t T H iiu uunin, v a. My valued fiicnd: I was much gratified to receive yor butiful and complimentary leter. I will baud yor leter to Mess. C. E. Tayntor who erected our monument and a9k him to rite U regarding that portion of yor ltter; I will impres upon them the importance of giving U mor than valu for the money and I think tha wil apreciate this just as tha did the monument to the Confederate dead in Mount Hope, this State. 1 am coming down to the Fair and I wud like very much if this cud be dun in time for that occasion, but it is not important. I wil therfor ask of U to draw on me for the amount and yor draft wil be promptly onord on presentation. Agen thanking U, and my kind regards to yor pople and With best wishes, C B. Itouss. At the request of Mr. Itouss Mrs. Atkiuson has drawn on him for the afnount of his contribution and this added to the sum that Mrs. Atkinson has received from contributions from South Carolina assures the early completion of this monument. Mr. Itouss expressed a dosiio that this might bo accomplished by October nex% when he will be here in attendonnn nnnn fti.i SsWonomlriO ll V lllpU Fair, but it is not thought that the necessary preparations can be made by this time and most likely the erection and unveiling of this monument will take place on the next Gth of June, when the ceremonies will be such as are befitting the occasion, and which our people love to conduct when the heroes who sleep in Stonewall Cemetery are to be honored. To Mrs. Atkinson belongs the honor of securing the monument, as she has labored indefatigably for many years in order that the gallant sons of South Carolina who are sleeping ia beautiful Stonewall, might have their last resting place suitably marked as only all of their heroic comrades, who rest near them, have had. It was through Mrs. Atkinson's efforts that marble headstones mark the graves of South Carolina's 149 sons and this was accomplished in tHp fare nf /rreat discouragements. { O o j and now that Mrs. Atkinson Las ; secured a handsome memorial in mirble, the people of South Carolina, her native State, should feel grateful for her praiseworthy efforts in behalf of those who gave their lives j for the Lost Cause.

A CRITICAL TIME During the Battle of Santiago. SICK OR WELL, A RUSH NIGHT AND DAT. The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de Cuba were all Heroes. Their Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammunition and Rations to the Front Saved the Day. P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3, writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on July 23k, says: "We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we landed wo had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of insh and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to ? , 1 i % v _ tit. Keep at woik ana Keep our neaim; m fact, I sincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself bad the good fortune to lay in a supply of this medicine for our packtrain before we left Tampa and I know in four cases it absolutely saved life.'' The above letter was written to the manufacturers of this medicine, Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des Moines, Iowa. For sale by J. E. ^ v.
