in his regiment were able for duty, his
leave of absence was deferred.
Lieut. Newell was wonderfully
blessed with good health, while on duty
at Santiago de Cuba. In the trying
days, before,during and after the tierce
battles, in which he was engaged with
his regiment, the 22nd regulars, he was

A Lamp Explosion.
The explosion ot a large kerosene
lamp in the store of Mr. W. H. Leon
ard last Friday evening about 0:15
o’clock, caused alarm and came very
near resulting in a serious conflagration.
The lamp blazed up to the ceiling and
was immediately pulled down by Mr.
Leonard. The oil spread over a pile
of sacks of meal and other goods and
the store seemed to be enveloped in a
sheet of flames. The lamp was thrown
into file street and the fire extinguish
ed before reel No 1 reached the scene.
When quiet was restored the store pre
sented a dilapidated appearance. The
damage is probably forty or fifty dob
lars.
