The Progress has had occasion inanv times to speak in terms of highest praise of our genial station master, A!. K. Helton, and "ve are gratified U. know that others share our views of his ability and qualifications. Beginning with July 1st, Supt. Parker of the Monon issued a circular which places Mr. Helton in complete control of all switching crews aud tho yards of the road at this point. This is an added responsibility which shows the esteem in which he is held by tho men in control. There is no more pains-taking, careful or competent railroad man in Southern Indiana, ami this fact is recognized fully by his associates and superiors. It matters not how much work they may place upon Helton's shoulders, he does it cheerfully ami pleasantly, and is never surly or ill-natured. He will still be found at the ticket office when needed, as ho is capable of handling still more work than has been put upon him. Tho La Pearl show had a crowd of people both afternoon and evening, and took away a comfortable sum of money. Tho show is well managed and has some creditable acts. The band is a specialty, and is one of the best in the country. Every man connected with tho establishment is polite and agreeable, mid it is a pleasure to do business w ith them. Mrs. Curry of west ith st. was kicked by a horse one day lust week while out at the homo farm. Sho drove the animal out of the gurden where ho was trespassing Mid as he went out of the gate he kicked Mrs. Curry, one of nis hoofs striking her over the right eye. Sho sudors greatly from the wound and the extent of tho iujuiy uuiy not ba known for a week.

STARTLING WAR NEWS. , The accounts of the battle oa.
Friday a;re varied. The Americans pressed forward steadily, fighting over every inch of the
ground and drove the Spaniards
from tho r entrenchments, with a fearful loss of life l5HJated
variously at one to two thousand men.
On Sat urday the battle was re
sumed, and continued all day. There were no general dispatches, but a private telegram to tbo Presiden! said that the wounded
were coming in rapidly, indicat
ing heavy losses. No decisive result either way was indicated in this dispatch.
IiOss Heavier Than Reporf-etL Washington, D. C, JnSy 8 -Owing to the many conflicting reports of the losses of the American troops in yesterday's engagement, it has been thought best b the War Department officials to make tho public the text of eueral Shaftor's last dispatch, re ceived this morning at 4 o'clock. It is as follows: "Siboney, via Playa del Este, Juiy 1. Adj't General, Washington: I fear I have underestimated to-day's casualitiea. "A large and thoroughly equipped hospital ship should be sent here at once to care for the weuuded. "The surgeon says he has need for forty more medical officers. "The ship must bring a launch and boats for conveying the-wounded."
