Washington, July 9. The volume of the small subscription for the war j hoods was indicated in a striking manner by the treasury returns yes terday, which showed the depart ment about f3«,000,000 better off than would have been the case without tbe i bond Issue. This amount approximates I the payments for bonds of S6OO and i less, but the amount taken will be considerably larger. A part of the j proceeds already paid into the tre&s !ury in the form of cheks and caah has | not yet been covered into the official balance, and considerable additional | subscriptions for the small bonds are expected before the allotment on July 14. It is not Impossible that the treasury i estimate of subscriptions from $50,- 000,000 In small bonds will be exceeded and that the amount taken will be $60,000,000 or $70,000,000. This will I leave from $130,000,000 to $l4O 000,000 i to go to larger bidders, but no definite : estimate can yet be formed as. to the ; maximum amount which It will be safe ' to subscribe for In a single subserip j tlon without being shut entirely out of the competition. Tbe available ' rash balance yesterday was $214,236,- , 633, This Is an increase of about $18,500,000 over the available balance on June 1. and In the meantime there has been a deficit In current receipts, ,as compared v-lth expenditures, amounting to about seventeen million - dollars.

That Morning's March Before the light. 1 None but those who passed thnaigh It will ever know the hardship, thp pain, and the final fury and triumph *H that morning's match before tbe flghl. Ail was new to the American*. Hut a few hours before they had left the quiet of the great transport ship* Hurriedly they had been crowded Into ■malt boats and landed through the foaming surf. One night's sleep on : tbe healed beach and then with day break came the order to march into the mountains add drive bsck the Spanish out pout which the Cubans had reported to be In the thickets a few 'miles back from ihe coast. Them was no delay, no qiieatkmlng, no faltering ' Every man was resdy. On they march ed up the mountain. It was perilous and slow. They had only a trail to follow and Iba* at times ley! over rock| that bruised their feet sad legs, ami through thickets which left bloodstains and swollen plareo upon their faces and bands. Tbe sun poured down upon them. Canteens were soon drained and blan kets and outer clothing cast off by the side of the trail. Lipa parched with thiist e»ked ebcarfully for just one swallow from a comrade's canteen. With each step forward the boat grew | more Intense. All along the trail tbeie were cool, shadowy spots, where [the great palms grew thicket*, but tbe men did not stop there. On they went 1 through the burning heat. Now add again a sturdy fellow staggerod for a moment and sank down under the ter rible exposure. Hurriedly he was carried to a shaded place and left to recover while the col umn again moved briskly onward. Then like a sudden dash of rain from a tropical sky came the stem of Span ish bullets. Flashes 1u the green thicket, like the glow of fireflies at night, was all our men could see. To : the Tight and to the left and In front 'of them the Mauser rifles cracked, and (the thicket was aglow with death ! flashes. It was than that Captain Ca j pron with his brave llitle band from 'Troop L, dashed forward into the very | hiding place* of the Spaniards. It waa an awful hour. Burning with thirst and sun beat, pressing on through a swarm of hissing bullets, biuised by rocks and torn by cactus thorns, jbey fought on like mad men. Only ftht-e during the battle was there the slight est sign of wavering, or even hesita tion, and that was the moment Mttni Captain Clapron sunk to the grdund mortally wounded. With a revolvsr. In his right band, firing and loading, he I had been pressing on In advance of his men, talking to them constantly and urging themi to move rapidly. There had been a brief lull iu tbe firing from the thicket and Captain Capron was calling to bis men to push fcrv:ard. He was standing erect and was in the act of leveling his revolver lo fire, when a fierce volley crashed down from the thicket, and the pistol drop ped from his band. He sank down to the ground wdth bis left hand pressed upon bla side but with his right hand still pointing to the spot where the ri fles of tbe Spaniards wore flashing. Several comradcß knelt over him, but he motioned them away. “Don't mind me, boys, go on Into tbe thicket.’’ Strlcke with death the brave man beard his little band rushing on througjh the fight, and with eyes from which the ; light of life was fast fading he saw tbe enemy retreating down the hill side to Santiago. When the fight was over he* was carried tenderly by his comrades to the little hospital by the seashore, but before the sun went down the calm of a soldier’s death was upon his features. With his dead comrades he is buried on the battle field, where the palms and the chap arral will ever whisper above bis grave 1 %*%%%%%•%%%%**%' 1 M*" •««*•* - | lainiTHler i f >■«•* it mo Bat mmm mi • I I *CH* ••*<«•«*»• MtMUto , I ; »«»f **«• IHUfIVAI ■# MM 1 I I **■' •' ••■*o ' 11 ! ut *L • tmm * •* mt k 11 RCRRY OAVI* * (OR. | , | •• to* f#*r* of #o4l*#* full | To* fo*l* jNirr*) 004*0 4*fl Nx* Milt *o*l f 0 *44 #i**#*o* 10 10# #rl 44** #4k*‘A bfiof 09 90# #l*9oo Of 00 "** 99 10 ttl 90#t 4* 9*o 9# o** •»f o*f 4*04 ta to* 40* 119990 «4«0 I h*ft 00 (0# n*ti»o otn* 4# 9* 014 00rr#4 to o** 0041* It I* tv* IU «p«i4 *m«i*<l lo *li 10000 000 lo#o 90# 00*4 A«O*M VI LI.
