American soldiers are camped in and
around l'aiquiri and 10,000 more rest on

available to carry them ashore.
The navy co-operated splendidly, and1
as the big warships closed in on the
shore to pave the way for the approach
of the transports and then went back
again, three cheers for the navy went up
from ten thousand throats on board the
transports, and cheers also arose for the t
army from chip to ship as the troops
moved in to take their share iu the haz
ardous game.
The Cuban Insurgents bore their share I
of the enterprise honorably and well, i
Five thousand of them in ttie mountain j

When the American Troops arc Ready
to Co-operate With the Insurgents,
Inner Manila Will be Attacked.
London, June 23. The Manila Kail
way Company, having offices in this
city, lias received a cable message, say
ing that though the Philippine insur-gouts-have
captured all but the inner
city of Manila, they are respecting prop
erty and are refraining from looting.
A London agent of the insurgente
claims to have information that General
Agulnaldo has made a compact w ith
Kear-Admiral Dewey not to attack the

gents will co-operate.
CONFINED IN AN
INSANE ASYLUM
Sad Termination of the Career of
Lady Yarde-IitiHer.
San Francisco, June 23. News has
Wn received from Paris that Lady
Yarde-Buller is now an inmate of an
insane asylum, and that it will be Im
possible to secure her release for at least
two years. .
Hhe is the eldest daughter of the late
General It. W. Kirkham. A few
months ago she vas found wandering
"bout West Oakland, and after an ex
amination as to her condition was dis
charged, Then she made n deed of
trust of her estate, valued at about
tWO.OOo, to her cousin and attorney,
Ernest Wuketuan, who has since man-.
"Ked her aflaire. Kecently Mr. Wake-;
Press ran in where the New Or'eans was
lying, with her ureal Armstrong guns
trained on Baiqniri. tongues of lurid
flame and blank smoke were seen rising
in the town, the inevitable consequence
of war, and a sure sign that the Span
iards had gone, leaving ruin behind.
Between nightfall and dawn the Span-
iards had taken alarm and fled from the j
place, firing the town as they left
Three hours.' waiting made the men
on the transports impatient to get!
ashore Biid in action, and every move of
the warships was closely watched by
the soldiers. A little before 9 o'clock
the bombardment of the batteries of
Jaragua was begun. This was evidently
a feint to cover the real point of attack,
Jaragua being about half way between
Baiquiri arid Santiago.
The bombardment lasted about 20
minutes. The scene was quickly shifted
back again to the great semi-circle of
the transport fleet before Baiquiri. At
9:40 o'clock the New Orleans sent a ' west, on the road to Santiago, and an
eti ell rumbling and crashing against the ! other detachment was posted nortfi of
hillside. The Detroit, Wasp, Machias
and Suwanee followed suit and soon the
hillside and valley seemed to be ablaze
as ehot followed shot in Ewift succession
among the wild and exciting cheering of
soldiers on the transports.
In five minutes the sea was alive with
flotillas of email boats, headed by
launches, speeding for the Baiquiri
dock. Some of the boats were manned
by crews of sailors, while others were
rowed by the soldiers themselves. Each
boat contained 10 men, every one in
fighting trim and carrying three days'

alleged marriage settlement of $S0,000,
but it was found that the lady was ac
tually in debt there. She was taken to
Paris by Mr. and Mrs. Wakeman, nut
made her escape one day and was placed
in an asylum by the authorities.
Lady Yarde-Buller was born in a
frontier military camp, and for years
was a reigning beauty. Her father was
worth a million dollars. She married
A. '. Blair, and after his death became
the wife of Yarde-Buller, second son of
an English noble house, whoa few years
ago secured a divorce from her.
CERVERA'S SHIPS
IN BATTLE ARRAY
Positions Changed to .Make the Guns
Command the Harbor Entrance.
Ai'kkkn DfiiAife. Cuba, June 22, via
Kingston, Jamaica, June 23. A Cuban
who left the city of Santiago Monday
night arrived in General Garcia's camp
Tuesday morning, with accurate maps
of the harbor and of the earthworks
surrounding it. The ships of Admiral
Cervera have moved from the positions
they were iu three days ago, and now
lie In almost a circle surrounding a
small island and lighthouse about half
way up the harbor. The cruiser Cristo
bal Colon lies to the west, commanding
with her port batterieB the narrow neck
of the harbor, while the VJzcaya lies to
the east, her starboard battery looking
iu the same direction. Both of the tor
pedoboat destroyers are totally disabled.
The ships have only half their supply of
coal.
The shell that sunk the lleina Mer
cedes during the recent bombardment
was fired by the Massachusetts. Be
yond this loss and quite a large loss of
iife incident to It, there was Utile or no
damage done. Seven new guns are be
ing put up facing the sea, a new line of
trenches has been dug about a mile and
a half from the city.
The spirit of discontent Is widespread
among the Spanish troops, and an up
rising in Santiago de Cuba is feared.

tridges, ready to take the field cn touch
ing shore should they be called upon to
do so. The firing of tiie warships, how
ever, proved to be a needless precaution,
as their shots were not returned and no
Spaniards were visible. Brigadier-General
Lawton, who had been detailed to
command the landing of the troops, led
the way in a launch, accompanied by
his staff, and directed the formation of
the line of operations. A detachment
80 regular infantry soldiers were the
first to land, followed by General Shaf
ter's old regiment, the First infantry.
Then came the Twenty-fifth, Twenty
second, Tenth, Seventh and Twelfth in
fantry, the Second Massachusetts and a
detachment of the Ninth cavalry. At
the end of the pier the companies and
regiments quickly lined up and were
marched away.
General Lawton threw a strong de
tachment, for the night about six miles
town among the hills. The 'rest oi the
troops were quartered in the town.
Some of the troops were quartered in
desolate houses, while others preferred
j the shelter of their tents in the adjoin
ing fields. The town was empty when
the troops landed, but women and chil-
dren soon appeared in the surrounding
( thickets and returned to their homes,

' the loss of life, the only casualty being
j the wounding of an insurgent in the
hills by a shell from one of our Ehips.

CORNELL WINS
THE BOAT RACE
Vale Crosses the Line Four Lengths
Behind and Harvard Comes in
Third.
New f .ondqn, Juno 23, Cornell won
the university race today, the four miles
being rowed in 23:48. A good start was
made, a little advantage being with
Yale. She wa3 the first to settle down
to 34 strokes. Yale held the lead for a
quarter of a mile, then the Cornell
stroke began to aesert itself. At the
half, Cornell led Yale by a few feet. At
two miles Cornell had made further
gains. The three-mile (lag showed Cor
nell thiee lengths ahead. In the last
mile the Cornell men rowed like de
mons, gaining another length. The
booming of the gun in the judge's boat
announced Cornell the winner by W
lengths over Yale, and nearly 11 lengths
separated her and Harvard.

Frolic of Oregon Lightning.
It is a very unusual occurrcnco to hear
of lightning doing the least damage in
Oregon in fact such a thing as n light
ning rJd is unknown in these parts.
However, Medford people wero remind
ed recently that there is such a thing as
lightning in this country, and tho Mall
has the following concerning a storm in
that vicinity :
During the rain storm of last Friday,
lightning struck the residence of G. E.
Allen, in East Medford, and scattered
things promiscuously. It hit on the
chimney and sent several brick iu as
many directions, and from there it gal
loped down the flue until ii readied the
hole where the stove-pipe intersects.
Here the lightning changed its course
and went into the stovepipe, blew the
gable end out of the first elbow, went
down to the cook stove and swept it
clean of ushes and lids. At the back of
the stove was a steel rod and this was
struck by the lightning, which then
separated, one part going through the
floor and tho other through a plastered
partition into the sleeping apartment,
where it struck the bedstead and set
fire to the bedding. It split one of the
bedposts and then went, through the
floor into the ground. One end of the
steel rod was melted, as' was also a lathe
nail in the partition. Mrs. Allen and
Mrs. Ferguson and her son were sitting
quite close to the stove when all this
happened, but, strange to relate, none
of them were injured in the least.
Hang Out the Flag.
During the G. A. R. encampment in
this city many complimentary remarks
were passed upon the artistic decora
tions displayed, and some were really
very pretty. It is especially desired
that the city put on her holiday attire
and hang out her flags and bunting on
the occasion of our nation's birthday.
Many visitors will be with us, and it is
hoped that everything will be done to
make the surroundings attractive to
them..
No doubt the business houses will be
gaily decorated and some expensively ;
but to those who feel that they cannot
afford much of an outlay, we would say,
if you can do nothing more, hang out a
flag. Particularly is it urged upon those
who have homes along the line of march
to make the national colors prominent.
Let not a single building in tho city be
left without some emblem which shows
the patriotism of our citizens.
How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver be inactive, you have a bilious look ;
if your kidneys be effected, you have a
pinched look. Secure good health and
you will surely have good looks. "Elec
tric Bitters" is a good Alternative and
Tonic. Acts directly on tho stomach
liver und kidneys. Purifies the blood,
cures pimples, blotches and bollp, and
gives a good complexion, Every bottle
guaranteed. Sold at Btakeley & Hough
ton's drug store. 50 cents per bottle. 5
I was seriously afllicted with a cough
for several years, and last fall had a
more severe cough than ever before. I
have used many remedies without re
ceiving much relief, and being recom
mended to try a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Heniedy, by a friend, who, know
ing me to bu a poor widow, gave 11 to mo
I trieil it, and with the most gratifying
results. The first bottle relieved ino
very much and the second bottle has ab
solutely cured me. I have not had as
good health tor twenty years. Itespeet

Whooping ('ouch.
I had a little hoy who was nearly dead
from an attack of whooping cough. My
neighbors recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. I did not think that
any medicine would help him, but after
givinu him a lew doses of tho remedy 1
noticed an improvement, and one bottle
cured him entirely. It Is tho best cough
medicine I ever hud in tho house. P,
