THE CASH HOUSE,
12 &14 Main St., Temple, Texas.
VOTE FOR JUDGE COLLARD.
On last Saturday word came over
the wires of an engagement at San-
tiago, in which 400 of the Americans
lost their lives and Spain lost 2000
in killed, wounded and missing.
The entire Spanish fleet was destroy-
ed andCervera was captured.
Sampson’s official report states
that he lost but one killed and two
wounded. He took 1300 prisoners
including Cervera. The Spanish
lost several hundred from explo-
sions, drowning and shots. Tt was
by no means difficult to get by the
Merrimac but Sampson was in the
wav. Commodore Schley was in
command of the fleet and though Cer-
vera made a bold effort to gain lib-
erty his fleet was entirely destroy-
ed before it passed many miles out
of the harbor.
Gen. Shafter’s land battle was not
so satisfactory but far more san.
guine on the Ameaican side. There
were over 4000 Cubans operating
with the Americans 17,500 strong,
while within the walled town there
is a force of some 12,000. While
there is an approaching army of
8500 men under Gen. Pando, oppos-
ed to him is an army of 2200 Cubans.
After 3 days of heroic work, Gen.
Sbafter finds the works of Santiago
invulnerable and is forced to retire
and await reinforcements.
Gens. Wheeler and Young are
very ill and were sent to the rear.
All of Gen, Shafter’s dispatches are
not made public.
his march
The Spanish cabinet has decided to
continue the war so long as a soldier
remained in Cuba.
Sampson has been ordered by the
president to enter the harbor and aid
in the capture of Santiago.
Gen. Miles has also been ordered
to go to the front at once, which he
will do as soon as his porcelain bath
tubs can be shipped.
There is friction between the
army and navy officers but they
have been given to understand that
there must be co-operation.
Gen. Wilson left Charleston Wed-
nesday for Santiago with reinforce
ments.
Shafter was ordered to await the
arrival of reinforcements, which are
now well on the way. Report now
has it that Cervera’s fleet is scrap
iron and the credit belongs to
Schley.
It is thought that casualities on
the American side due to the two
days fighting at Santiago will reach
1700, but of these an unusually
large per ceotage was killed. Some
companies have not an officer left.
Some have lost one third of their
men. Camara.s fleet is just now en-
tering the Suez Canal and of cou se
is bound for Manilla. Fortress
Monroe, at the entrance of Chesa-
peak Bay, will be converted into a
hospital and the wounded from Cu-
ba will be brought there for atten-
tion.
The people in Ban tiago are starv-
Good
There is positive news that San-j fog and are anxious to surrender,
tiago was litterally torn to pieces > but Spanish pride must be vindicat-
and 1000 of her soldiers killed. Of ed, and that takes starving and
course the fleet has done most of death
the damage inside the city.
It is said that the president and
his war adyisers remained calm
throughout the day. There is no
reason wthy they should not. They
are safe.
Schley has been selected to carry
the war to Spain. Watson will go
to Porto Rico.
The annexation resolutions passed
the house by 2 to 1 vote.
Thursday’s reports say that San-
Ervdorsement of Judge W. E. Collard to Succeed
Himself as Associate Justice of the Court
of Civil Appeals, .Third Supreme Ju-
dicial District of Texas-
Miles says 50,000 men, if need be,! tiago is about to surrender. Samp-

The strength of Shafter’s army is j will be attacked on three sides. It

Spanish force is estimated at 32,000, Spanish ship has been destroyed,the
We *he undersigned Attorneys-at-law of Bell County heartily en-
dorse the candidacy of the
HON. W. E. COLLARD,
For Associate Justice of the Court of Cifil Appeals,
and commend him to the Democrats of the County as an able lawyer, a
pure judge and an honorable, high-minded gentleman. We have publish-
ed this endorsement voluntarily, without any suggestion from Judge Col-
lard, and without his knowledge, because we believe he ought to receive
the nomination for the office.

though 18,000 of these are under
other generals and have not yet ar-
rived. The intention now is to in-
crease Gen. Shafter’s army to 32
to 35,000, exclusive of the insur-
gents.
Gen. Linares has been requested
to surrender without further blood
shed but he promptly refuses to do
so, owing to the false reports that
have been sent to Spain.
Gen. Pando reached Santiago
Tuesday and the combined strength
of the two armies is now said not
to exceed 11,000 fighting men.
The poor ignorant Spanish in
Spain are rejoicing over the report-
ed escape of Cervera and his squad-
ron. While the facts are known to
the Spanish officials, the poor ignor-
ant people are kept in the dark and
i lied to in order to keep up their
courage.
It is reported that general Pando
was badly wounded in a battle with
the Cubans at Dos Palmos, where
Gen. Garcia attempted to intercept

NOTE—In addition to the above list, several attorneys who are candi-
dates for office favor Judge Collard, but do not think it proper to
sign the petition.
Harvest Hands Wanted in Oklahoma
and Kansas,
The large number of volunteers
to the United States Armv has
created a shortage ot harvest hands,
consequently labor commands very
good wages. To faciliate the move-
ment of labor to these points the
Santa Fe Route will make a rate of
on o-third fare for parties of three or
more traveling together to any
point in Oklahoma or Kansas west
of Tooeka or Otlowa, Kansas. This
rale will be in effect from June 18th
to 30th inclusive only. Call on any
Santa Fe Route ticket agent for par-
ticulars, or address

is a total loss.
If Linares, Pando and Luque are
permitted to join forces it will take
a large army to oppose the as-
sembled forces.
The Pope i now making an effort
to stop further blood shed.
The president has issued a proc-
lamation to the people of the United
States, asking them to give thanks
to God for His mercies and presence
in our battles and to offer a petition
that He may continue to be with us
and protect those who are exposed
to dangers of desease, battle, and
ocean casualties.
An awful disaster occurred on the
4th off the banks of Sable island in
the North ocean in which over 400
people were drowned. The French
liner La Bourgogne was run into
and sunk by the Cromartyshire in a
dense fog. The scenes as report-
ed by survivors was hoi r.fying in
the extreme.
From Fort Clark.
Fort Clark, Texas, July 5, ’98.
Ed, Times:—Would a word from
some of the Temple boys, who have
recently gone to the front, interest
your readers? (Yes, indeed. Editor)
Those of us who enlisted for the
3rd regiment of U. S. V. I. are sta-
tioned at Ft. Clark, near the line of
Old Mexico. There are nine com-
panies here now and new recruits
coming in qvery day.
Our barracks are one story stone
structures, perfectly bare; we sleep
on the floor, and as no blankets have
been issued, most of the recruits are
in a hard shape.
Hogwood, Porter and Bullard
share the same blanket, and the boys
float off into dreamland thinking of
Home, Sweet Home. Jack Kennon
isthepetof the company; he and
Col. Smvthe are the only privileged
character in the fort. Hogwood and
Bullard came in at 11 o’clock last
night and insisted on Porter get-
ting up and taking a shower bath.
He remonstrated, but moral suasion
and a “rough house” at last had the
desired effect.
The bill of fare consists of baked
beans, potatoes, bread and coffee.
However, the severe drilling vi\es
the boys a relish for most anything.
By-the-wav, we heard there were a
few Americans killed in Cuba the
other day. Tell the Temple people
thev had better raise another flag or
two as that will surely kill a great
many Spaniards,
“Two Little Boys in Blue.”
