I SCHLEY SCORES A VICTORY
naWUSHM morbo castle at
I SANTIAGO DI CUBA.
ftrriflc Fight Tuesday Afternoon in
That Harbor and the Americana
Are Cnee More Victorioui-
| Washingtom, June I—Meagre de-
■ tti l, have been received here of an en
gagement between Commodore Schley
and lb® batleriW of Santiago de Cnba,
L in conjunction with a part of Admiral
... Corvera’a fleet.
The engagement took place yeater-
I day afternoon at 3:30 o’clock.
Tbe American'fleet consisted of the
| lowa, Maaaachuaette, Brooklyn, Texas,
Orleans, Marblehead, Minneapo
■f Jbrapotber cruiser and six smaller
teeaela, which took up their position
fajj the Western side of the channel.
Americans opened fire, which
Pm answered by the cruiser Cristobal
and Mono, Socapa and Punta
Go rd a batteries.
. The firing was terrific on both sides
for half an boar when the superior
workmanship of the American gun
ners began tn take effect and the fire
from the Spanish batteries began to
weaken.
The Americans then turned their
entire attention to Morro and the
guns from the entire fleet belched
forth a terrible stream of shot and
•heli against its batteriee, which were
; soon completely destroyed, and its
guns silenced. The Americans ceased
firing al 4 o’clock, atwhich time no
Spanish vessel could be seen
The Spanish loss v said to br very
great, but as the advices are of Span
inn origin, it is impossible to learn
what injury was done the fleet of
Commodore Sob ley.
The Spaniards claim to have dam
aged several American veeeels, but the
true state of affairs will not be known
until word is received from the Amer
icana.
Two torpedo boats put out from
the harbor at Santiago Bunday night
about midnight and made a desperate
attempt to destroy the American
ships They would certainly have
caused considerable damage to the
fleet bad they not been discovered in
time by officers of the Texas
When the Spaniards saw they were
discovered they rushed with all possi
ble speed toward the Brooklyn and
Texas, but before they''* got close
enough to do any damage the batter
ies of both vessels poured snob a furi
ous shower of shells at the torpedo
boats that they were forced to make a
ietreat for the harbor.
Raising Revenue for the War.
. More than oncj io the coarse of the
present debate in the Senate the prin
ciple has been boldly avowed that
taxes ought to be imposed exclusively
upon a certain class. Senator Toller
says that he would haye the taxes for
the support of the war paid solely by
the rich; the poor he would not tax.
Another senator had said previously
that all the war taxes should be paid
by corporations and by speculators.
The abstract justice of these proposi
tions is hot at first eight clearly* appa
rent. It does not appear as yet that
this is particularly a rich man’s war,
or that rich men or corporations were
particularly instrumental io bringing
it on
If justice demanded that those who
brought en the war should be made to
fee) most severely it* burdens the two
classes wbo should be most heavily
taxed would be the politicians, and the
proprietors of the "yellow” journals.
Indeed, coog r ess itself, the jingoes
of both parties and in both houses,
might come in for a liberal assessment.
Senator Teller does no more than re
cognize the justice of this when he
admits that bo would like to see "the
salaries of senators taxed.”—Baltimore

i The Men Present a Better Appearance
Since Receiving Their New Uni
forms—Camp Notes.
The third long march was easily
■ accomplished by both officers and
men yesterday and all seemed to enjoy
, it and look upon it aw a thing of pleae-
I ore rather than work.
Even tbo officers left . their horses
. and walked with the men.
Col lawton was the moat energetic
i one ou the journey and the mere fact
, that he wee walking with the boys,
and sharing the same hardships and
pleasures, made the soldiers all the
more proud of their colonel. He stood
the trip equally as well as any other
and said he intended to walk more in
the future. ‘ ,
The much was ont the Mt. Zion
road, one of the hilliest in the county,
and was seven and one half miles
long, but was accomplished in two
. hours. .. ■ , ■ • ■
Only two men out of the entire ten
companies fell out from exhaustion.
They however bad. their fun by bor
rowing a couple of mules and riding
back tn the city.
With the exception of the officers’
meeting at 11:30, and the issuing of
clothing from the quartermaster’s de
partment, all was quiet in camps until
the call for battalion drill was sounded
at 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
At the officers’ meeting, the school
of instruction was again taken up and
prerided over by Lieut. Col. J. F.
Blocks, wbo baa been absent from his
poet of dmfor several days on ac
count of illness, after which many
minor topics were discussed, the moat
important of which was tbo best
methods*of having the coals just re
ceived and tewed to tbo men mado
over to fit.
mgnieenl have received
all their uaitoraia now, except their
trousers, which are expected on every
train.
The coats are nearly all a poor fit
and will have Co go into the bands of
x tailor before they can be worn. The
government will pay for thia work,
and these objections will soon be rem
edied;
This done and the band continuing
to improve as rapidly aa heretofore it
will not be long before regular dress
parade ia established, and a finer set
of men ready to fight for their country
cannot be found on any other parade
ground in the Union.
The government only furnishes
eighteen pieces to each band but it is
confidentially talked among those in
a position to substantiate their re
marks that the First regiment band
will retain its enlisted number—twen
ty four. Hovever, the eighteen pieces
are wanted very badly by Prof. Baum
gartner as the instruments now being
used are old and muchly worn.
Col. Lawton has received notice that
one thousand half shelter and a suffi
cient number of officers tents have
been shipped and will soon be at the
disposaTof bis regiment.
When these tents arrive the ones
now being used will be returned to the
slate capital as the., are state property.
At drill yesterday afternoon each
battalion was commanded by its re
spective major. Col. Lawton had pre
viously conversed with the officers in
regard to the necessity of teaching the
man to double time, as many compa
nies were comparatively backward iq.
this particular movement, and at tbo
battalion driM much running u«» ex
perienced by the men.
Il is now believed by many that
each company will be mastered op to
108 men. In fast, many company
commanders are receiving applications
from men wbo beg to be taken into
their company on the second call.
Company L. has already received
enough applications to run its enlist
ment nearly up to the 108 mark and
it orfn be safely said thio will be the
1 first company to recruit to the new
figures if called upon
Company B. bad its turn on guard
yesterday.
Col. Lawton speaks of hie regiment
with much pride and tenderness. He
is proud of his men and they are proud
of him. They know be is strict in the
discharge of his duty and admire him
for it. And, too, they know that Col.
Lawton is a friend and admirer of
each and every one and they love him
for thia.

A DELIGHTFUL PROGRAMME. I
, ■ I
Rendered Last Night by Pupils of I
Chas M- Neel Institute.
The Olympic Theatre was packed to
its fullssl capacity last evening—every I
seat in the house waa occupied before I
8 o’clock and large numbers were!
standing, to witness the very interest-I
ing program which was to be ren-4
dvred by the pupils of the Chas. M. I
Neel Institute
The oecssipn was the commence
ment exercises and the opera house
bad previously been very prettily dec
orated with flowers and other appro
priate ornaments and in itself presen
ted a neat compliment of good taste
and judgment on the part of the I
school.
At 8 o’clock, tbe time advertised for
the beginning of tbe exercises, Prof.
Neel in a neat though brief way
thanked the people, in behalf of Prof. !
Walker and the public schools, for
their large and Appreciative audience
of the night before.. And in behalf of
bis school he also thanked them for
another large audience, which, be was
sure, would ba quite as appreciative as
the former one. He said his pupils 1
had not the advantage of an elocution
teacher, and all tbe training they had 1
availed themselves ot was from their
UWn knowledge and the few moments ,
he could devote to their training. As
to their fitness for tbe occasion he
would leave it for the audience to i
judge. ,
The program was begun with a
prayer by Rev. G. A. Whitney, Rector
of tbe Episcopal church, and was most
splendidly delivered. Tbe following
was tbe program for the evening:
Prayer—Rev. G. A. Whitney.
Piano Solo—Mabel Jenkins.
Cassius to Brutus—Warren Neel.,
The Whip-O’ Will-Miss Addie Brewer.
Our Duty to the Republic—Jos. Manley
Chorus, “Meadow Song.”
The Sword of Lee—Fielding Smith.
Uncle Sam—Miss Lucia Starnes.
The Character of Washington—Frank ,
Patterson.
Piano Solo—Mattie Rivers.
Uncle Edom at the Circus—Miss Jeffle
Bloodworth.
Graves on Grady—Bonner Gamble.
On the Rappahannock—Miss Emestinfi
Dempsey.
Violin Solo-F. K. Boland.
Jack is Late—Mias Annie Kimbrough.
The Last Banquet—John Humphries.
In His Name—Miss Agnes Hemphill.
Chorus, “Italia, Italia, Beloved.”
Tbe chorus, "Meadow Song,” by
Misses Terry, Patterson, Reid, Red
ding and Nall was most enthusiasti
cally received and applause was long
and loud.
Mr. F. Boland the secretary of the
army Y. M. C. A, so completely
charmed the entire audience by his
first violin solo that a request for an
other favor was unanimous. Mr. Bo
land kindly consented and at tbe con
clusion of tbe program he played, even
belter than Romenyi tbo old but ever
sweet song, "Last Bose of Summer,” )
and finished with the south’s old love
melody, "Dixie.”
All agreed that it was a most excel
lent and carefully arranged affair,
reflecting great credit upon the faculty
and pupils of the Chas. M. Neel Insti
tute, which is just closing its first year
under such flattering conditions.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FMS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it Is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California. Fig Sybup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. Ifi order toget its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
