A Letter From Cuba.
MisB Ada Smith received a letter Tuesday postmarked "Military Station No. 1, Cuba," The letter was written June 30th and was eighteen days coming. The writer says: "After leaving Tampa Bay, Florida, we were several days on the water and were glad indeed to 6ee terra firma again. Havo had some fighting already, while the troops were bombarding the city. It was a hot time. By the time this reaches CrawfordsviUe we will have Santiago de Cuba. Health is pretty good, considering everything. The days are very hot. The men do not complain, but accept this life with cheerfulness

kankkokt, July 20.—At midnight last, night thore was no longer a doubt that fusion had captured the Democratic congressional convention, horse foot and navy. At 1:05 the Fountain county delegation arrived and after a little preliminary skirmishing fired a solid ehi.it of fifteen votes for Cheadie. Then Carroll county moved into the thickest of the ILjbt and let loose a fourteen vote torpedo which struck a vital spot of the anti-fusion forces and there war, a p^nic. Uoone county an nounced that her nineteen votes were all for Cheadie. Hamilton withdrew her candidate, Samuel Wallingford, of Sheridan, and agreed to give ail of her fifteen votes to Cheadie. At 10 o'clock Clinton county leaders announced that her nineteen votes would go the same way. This brought Cheadle's vote up to eighty-six. A little later Montgomery county gave it out that there were were nt least eleven votes thero for Cheadio and it was thought that the county would be solid before the vote was called. Not a delegate of Tipton county was in town, but it was said four of that county's fourteen votes were ready to get in thejCheadie baud wagin. After the drift set in so stroiig far Cheadie and when it became a foregone conclusion that he would'ba nominated, the chiof interest cantered in Tipton county's delegation. It was given out that the greater part of the crowd from there would drive through, starting about 2 o'clock this morning, i'ney had given up hopes of defeating Cheadie and came over to make a fight for the nomination of jiat representative.

Negroes Fight Well.
Captain Taylor, of the
Dinth
10:30
cavalry,
who was wounded in leading a charge on San Juan Hill, has arrived in Washington. Captain Taylor was struck by a Mauser bullet in the lower part of the neck near the left shoulder and as a result of his wound his left arm is paralyzed. Captain Taylor was asked what he thought of the negro soldiers as fighters. "J would not want any better," he said. "Those boys are fighters, every one of them. No matter what their shade, they have pluck and stand right up to their work. Nearly all the recruits for my command were from Kentucky, and they all stood by like veterans."
o'clock this morning the
convention was called to order in the Columbia theater, which was not near full, there being about one-third us many present as attended the Republican contention in Crawfordsville. There were no ladies present at all and the hall presented a dreary spectacle to the perspiring delegates. The first thing on the programme was the nomination of a joint representative for the two counties of Clinton and Tipton This was soon settled by the nomination of James A. Iledgecock, of Clinton, over J. M. Purvis, of Tipton. The congressional convention was then called to order by district chairman Morris and the committee on perma nent organization reported through Mayor Livengood, of Covington, recommending Samuel Wallingford, afar mer o{ Hamilton county, for permanent chairman, and Bayard Gray, of Frankfort, as secretary and the Demo cratic editors of Frankfort as assis tants. The call for the convention was read and it was decided that there should be no speeches except that by Samuel Ralston, of Lebanon, the Democratic nominee for secretary of state. Mr. Ralston then made a very dignified and dispassionate speech, quite in contrast to the harangue of Chairman Wallingford, which was a disgraceful tirade in which several dirty stories weie told and which was a disgusting exhibition of puerile oratory. He said he used to be a Republican and then roasted Grover Cleveland to a nice seal brown, everybody drawing a breath of relief when he had concluded. The committee on resolutions reported through James Sellars, of Montgomery county It endorsed the national Democratic platform of
'90
and the state platform
of this year, and congratulated the people on the progress of the war and recommended that the rooster be re t&ined as the emblem of the party.
Nominations for congressman were then called for and William Kramer, of Frankfort, placed in nomination Joe Cheadie, of Clinton county. The nomination was seconded by Hannibal Yount, of Covington. Chas. Johnston, of Montgomery county, then nominated John W. McCardle, of Montgomery, and the motion was seconded by Tipton county. Tipton cast her vote solid for McCardle as did Montgomery, giving him 35 votes. The rest of the counties voted solid for Cheadie, giving him 82 votes and he was declared the nominee of the convention. When the result was announced the Tipton county delegation arose iu a body and left the hail. A committee then escorted Joe to the platform and in a rambling and disjointed rodomontade be presumably accepted the nomination, but tbitj point not being exactly clear to some of the Populistic spectators one of them in the rear of the ball arose to his feet and in a high falsetto voice ejaculated: "Be you goin' to accept this nomination, Joe'?" Joe responded that was what he was here for and thus eased the granger's mind. After Cheadle's speech the convention faded away and another page in history had been written.
Ah Usual.
A dispatch from Lebanon says that the employes of the Chicago & Southeastern railway company's shops went out on a strike 'Tuesday. The strikers' only grievance is their failure to receive wages due them, the company being from eight to ten months in arrears.
HOME FROM CHI CKAMAUGA.
I S a a S I
a a
llcnry Shoemakor, who went from this city as a member of Company M, and who has been in the hospital at Chickamaugn Park for some time, Monday received an honorable discharge from the army and arrived in this city last Tuesday. In speaking of the life at Chickamauga Mr. Shoemaker said on Wednesday: "I .-ontractcd a heavy cold while at Camp .Mount iu ludianapolis and this after.vard coupled with exposure and the bud water wo had when we lirst went to Chickamauga aggravated the complaint until it brought ou Bright's disease in a dropsical form, 1 was for seven weeks in t.ho division hospital at Camp Thomas, and for awhile it wm thought I would not recover, but good nursing and constant care brought mo around all right. 1 am foalii.g pretty good now but the regimental physician told me I would never be able to stand a campaign in Cuba. Ho therefore recommended that, I be given an honorable discharge before the boys left. I know thero was no us to object to his dedtee and so I concluded that 1 would make the best of it. I was informed that as my disability was contracted while I was in the liiie of duty that I am now eligible for a pansion. I left tho park Monday evening and when the boys heard that
I was going they all lined up in a company front and as they liied by they all gavo me tho salute. I tell you it made me feel pretty good, although I hated to leave and I know there was not a boy in the company who would have come back in my place had ho had the chance. The 158th has tho reputation of being the healthiest regiment on the ground,and I may say also that it is one of the most popular in the camp. Our company received more stuff from home than any other company in the park, and all the boys when I left said to be sure and tell the good people of Crawfordsville that they would never forget the inauy kind remembrances that they had had from home. This popularity has made them quite the envy of the camp, and then too such good judgment has been used in the selection of things sent them. It looked for a time like there was going to be trouble when that mosquito netting came for fear thero would not be enough to go around but fortunately there was enough for all. Just before I left the boys had notice that they would leave in three days and I expect they will go to day or to-morrow as they were all fully equipped. Bernie Pride, who hurt himself lifting, Is about well and has reported for duty and they think he will not have to come home. Herron is around again and has reported for duty. Lieutenant C. O. Wilhito, who was appointed range officer by reason of his eminent fitness for tho place, rapidly bringing the boys up to a high grade of efficiency in marksmanship He has two companies each day to in struct in rifle practice and they commence at a distance of two hundred yards ana increase the range. Simon Trask, of Company M, holds the record for shooting in the company and also has the honor of being the second best shot in the regiment, having made forty-five bullseyea to another's fortysix. I was allowed to keep all my clothing and was furnished money for all my expenses home, being given a check for £30 and a railroad ticket when I left. Who wouldn't fight for a government that treats its soldiers so fairly? My right arm is longer than it really ought to be since my return but I don't mind that when I remember the many kindnesses of the people of this city to the boys in camp."

To tho Editor of tho Journal.
Washington Bakkackh, I). C., July IS, '08.—There is nothing now in tho situation here and tho prospect for getting to the scene of action is not very llattering to say t!io least. We are working hard with tho signal code and are getting it down to a fine point. Fifty of our horses have been
Bent
to
Santiago, which gives us a rest on horse drill. Wo havo received our new uniforms arid the corps presents a lino appearance. Thore are livo corps here and wo are tho first out. Last night we were instructed to sena all our old clothes home at once, so that may mean something. Tho boys were all given a day off Sunday and everyone took advantage of somo excursion on the river. Wo (tho Crawfordsville boys-) were at tho White Houeo Saturday evening to hear tho Marine band concert. It was very fine. Met Warner Wilhito there. The list of appointments that was made a few days ago received quite a setbock when it was sent to tho war department. From somo causo unexplainable the Logansport boys got tho majority of the offices. Only one Crawfordsville boy was able to retain his stripes—G. Whito. Wo are glad wo have him. Tho boys who were turned down feel pretty sore and hope that things will soon right them--selves. If we have to stay in this country all summer we feel that we could not havo been assigned to a more beautiful place than Washington Barracke. We are all well and contented. With regards to all,

Wookly Crop Diillctin.
The weather bureau sends out th3 following as the condition of the crops in this state: Warm, dry weather with much sunshine continued, until Friday and Sunday, when beneficial rains fell in many localities, which interrupted harvesting and threshing, but refreshed the drooping and rolling corn, which is now tasseling and shooting, potatoes, vegetables and other growing cropp. Infields where no rain fell corn shows tho effect of dry weather. Wheat and rye threshing continues, and, in most localities, reports confirm that tho wheat crop, both in quality and quantity, is the best in years, and only in a few fields is the yield disappointing. The oats harvest baa begun, the heads are well filled and tho yield promises to be good, except in localities, where it is injured by ruBt. Potatoes need rain, in some localities the crop is good, in others there are but few in the hill. Great crops of hay wero put in stack and barn in excellent condition, and a large yield of timothy and clover has been harvested. It has been too dry for buckwheat, beans, turnips and other vegetables. Tomatoes are ripening fast. Melons are doing well. Fruits of all kinds, except apples, promise a fair crop. Grapes are abundant. The berry crop has been much reduced by the absence of rain. Pasturage is getting brown and dry and needs rain. Fall plowing
haB
begun.
Not I'urko County Allen,
A special from Ilockville says: "A Riverside, Cal., dispatch in the morning papers locates A. F. Allen, murdered in Arizona, as a Rockville man, 6on of a wealthy banker here. There is no banker by the name of Allen in this place, and, while thero are many Aliens in the county, this man can not bo located. The best known Allen living near here says he can not recall any of the namo that will lit in this case. It is likely, therefore, that Mr. Allen was from some other Ilockville.
