VOL X THE WAR IH CUBA. General Gomez Has Plan ned His Summer Cam paign and Begins Now His Attacks. MANY KILLED AND WOUNDED Gibara and Banes, Two oF the Seaports, Attacked Sim ultaneously As A Ruse But Resistance Was Stub born. New York, June 28-A dispatch to The Herald from Key West says: Pri/ate advices from Santiago province give further details of the lighting during the past week a round.Gibara and Banes, between the insurgents and Spanish for ces. The advices state that the in surgents under General Garcia and Colonel Torres, numbering be tween 5,000 and 6,000 men attack ed both of the seaports simultan eously but met with a stubborn resistence. The demonstration against Banes which is less than ten leagues dis tant from Gibara, on the north coast, was merely a feint by the the rebels to divert attention and draw the Spanish forces from Gibara which was the point real ly to be attacked. The ruse was partially successful and Garcia with his forces entered Gibara. His success, however, only was of short duration, as he was sub sequently driven out after a hot fight, during which many were killed and wounded on both sides. Colonel Machado, a veteran of the ten year wer, says: General Gomez has planned his summer campaign and put it in operation. Already columns of thousands of well-armed men, un der efficient leaders, have been dis tributed throughout Matanzas, Ha vana and other provinces.” Mr. C. L.

The following article is clipped from the Carrollton Times, published last week, and is given for what it is worth. There is no way of verifying the report here. For several days it has been talked around on the streets that there was a corps of surveyors at work surveying a route from here to Columbus, for the purpose of extending the Chatta nooga, Rome & Columbus railroad from this point on to Columbus. “It is said that the right of way has been secured a part of the way, and that the men are at work beyond Roopville, selecting the route. “The parties interested worked last week between here and Roopville. There are several rumors out in regard to the survey. “The one that seems to have some foundation is that the reorganization committee of the C. R. & C., railroad seeing the necessity of extending the road have gone quietly to work to get the right of way before letting the public into their plans. “If this is the object it will be a good move for the road and will make it a financial success, and also give Carrollton another outlet, but will cut into some of our best trading ♦erritory.” In Memory. Os John Floyd who was born April 13, 1861, and died May 12 1897. He was married to Miss Mattie Thomas in 1882, and after varying changes moved to Brown county, Texas. Not finding the Eldorado he was expecting he came back to Chattooga last year to die. Seemingly the deceased fulfilled the injunction of Holy writ tha t “he who would have friends must show himself friendly.” He made a profession of religion some years ago, but made the mistake of his life by not uniting with the church. He would always show his friend ship to those he loved and make them feel happy while in his com pany. He was devoted to his wife and children, and to his aged par ents. Although not a‘member of the church yet I believe he was a child of God. Then dear sister, look up for what the Lord has thou knowest not now, but shall here after. To his parents and sisters we will say, press on, for by and by you will be reunited with your loved ones in a land where there is no more sorrow and parting—no more grief nor pain, but where all is happiness and peace.

We are frequently requested to print what the writers denominate “poetry”—words thrown together with a jingle at the end of each line, like the music of a tin can at the end of a dog’s tail. We often try to darn up and crochet some of these effusions so they will read smoothly, but when we find them with poetic “feet’’ ranging in num ber from six to thirteen, resemb ling a thousand legged worm, or other kind of helmith, we have either to rebuild the poem or throw it in the waste basket >u despair. We would advise our brethren, that unless they have a pegasus of their own, not to try riding a bor rowed-one, but stick to prose. Our rhyming machine is very much out of “fix’’ and is too old for re pairs. or we would put it in motion and grind their grits over. Again we say stick to prose, unless the heavenly spirit of posey is born within you —you can't borrow it. —Ex. To Cure Constipation Forever. Take Cascarets Candv Cathartic. 10c or 25c. ts & G.

GENERALLY DOUBTED, The National Review De clares That England Will Materially Assist In Re habilitating. Silver. London, June 29. —The next issue of the National Review will con tain an article announcing an im portant bimetallic development at the hands of the United States monetary commission, consisting of Senator Edward O. Wolcott, ex- Vice-President Adlai E. Stevenson and Gen. Charles Jackson Paine, which will arrive here in a few days The commission, according to the National Review, will present to the British goverment a joint state ment from France and the United States, declaring their desire to terminate the disastrous experi ments inaugurated in 1873 and im ploring our good will and active concurrence. The National Review adds: “We ate able to announce that Eng land’s reply will be that the gover ment is willing to reopen the In dian mints; to make other substan tial contributions to the rehabili tation of silver by extending its use in England; by increasing the legal tender of silver, making silver the basis ot notes; empowering the Bank of England to use its silver reserve, and that material assis tance and strong moral support will be given to the object the Un ited States and France have in view.” COMMENTS AT CAPITAL. Accuracy of the Statements in the Review Article Doubted. Washington, June 29. —The ca blegram from London today, giv ing the substance of an article to appear in the National Review, to the effect that the United States monetary commission, of which Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, is the head, had met with gratifying success in France, and stating pos itively that England would reopen her Indian mints and otherwise contribute to an extended use of silver, was read with interest by government officials. They had known that the commission was very cordially received in France and that the commissioners were greatly encouraged by the strong and apparently increasing silver sentiment in that countrj T as the President not long since received from Senator Wolcott a letter to this effect. The statement that England is ready to join in the movement to the extent of reopen ing her Indian mints, is received with many doubts. A copy of the cablegram was shown to the Presi dent and to Secretary Gage, but neither of them cared to express any opinion on it beyond the state ment that they feared the Review article was overdrawn.

Juno 30. —The democratic state convention here today was one of the most memo rable political occasions in the history of Ohio. It was a conven tion of unanimity on principles and of differences on men, espec ially on those who are candidates for places on the state ticket. In the contest for favorites it was also a convention of endurance, as the delegates took no recess and were in session continuously from 10 a. m. till almost that hour tonight. It was a free silver convention throughout. While there were some differences of opinion about adopting the anti-trust and the Cuban resolutions, there was not a dissenting voice in the conven tion to the declaration for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without the co-operation of any other nation. The name of William J. Bryan was mentioned in some way by ev ery speaker as the only sure way of bringing out a chorus of ap plause. While there was no place on the state ticket accorded to either the silver republicans or to the popu lists, yet representatives of both these elements co-operated in the convention and an informal fusion was perfected. The silver repub licans and the populists are them selves responsible for having no repreeertation on the ticket, as they would not ask for such repre sentation, stating that they were more interested in the platform than in the offices. Out of the 956 votes cast for supreme judge there were 922 for John J. Harper, a silver republican. R. T. Hough, the favorite for Governor, was slaughtered because of the opposition of the rural dis tricts to the McLean men using the large delegations from Cincin nati, Cleveland, Toledo and other large cities to dictate the head of the ticket. Those running next were Chapman, Welty and Sorg, Welty's name was not presented after his friends learned that Chap man had been agreed upon as the compromise candidate. Hough’s name was withdrawn before the balloting began and the name of Sorg was withdrawn before the re sult of the first ballot was an nounced . The silver republicans held a conference tonight and expressed great indignation. They said it was true that they had announced that they did not want a place on the state ticket, but the announce ment was not made until after they were toid they could not have it. They appointed a state com mittee to call a convention to nom inate a separate ticket. The populists also announced that they would hold a state con- ws. issa IgiGPOjiy &AKlN fi POWDER Absolutely Pure. Celebrated for its great leavening strength and healthfulness.
