After all, It was quite a Fourth of July. Honors are easy now between Sampson and Dewey. Twenty-four hours of the firecracker is enough for a whole year. All the people feel to-day they should have a regular army of 100,000 men. Once again the story was retold: "cheers for the living and tears for the dead.” The Nation’s birthday was celebrated In every nook and corner of the country yesterday. The American eagle is a large and growing bird, and his size increased amazingly yesterday. Admiral Sampson Is an artist in waiting dispatches. Every word not only counts, but it also tells. It must gratify Spanish honor to know that Cervera did not come’ out of Santiago to fight, but to run away. Admiral Sampson may now expect to receive word that boys bom on the 3d of July are being named after him. The Charleston picked up the governor of the Ladrones, and took him along to Manila just as a guarantee of good faith. When the news of yesterday morning got out, the orator of the day could be excused, for spreading the plumage of the American bird. It can make no possible difference to us where Camara’s war ships are now, since the Spanish war ship no longer attempts to light. / /T*eople In this part of the country are getting along Very well without the alleged Chicago morning papers containing war news twelve hours old. It is sad to reflect that If General Shafter had failed at Santiago many of those who will now applaud would be denouncing him because of his incapacity. The addition of a few islands to our territory is getting to be an every-day affair. The Charleston, with its transports, stopped casually at the Ladrones and took them in just as a flyer.

Os the seventy-three appointments of brigadier generals made by the President, fortythree belonged to the. regular army and thirty to States. The most of the latter had seen actual service. Word comes from New York that Mr. Perry Belmont, who was a sound-money Democrat in 1896, will be the Democratic candidate for Governor, with no Chicago plank In the platform. Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, saw no "occasion to rejoice” on the Fourth. There can be no better indication of good for the country than the sadness of Pettigrew. It indicates his defeat. In the midst of the country’s rejoicing it will not forget the families of the heroic officers and men who died in giving the world the brightest example of soldierly qualities that has been witnessed for years. War is no respecter of the holy Sabbath, lit was Sunday morning when Dewey sailed into Manila bay; and when Cervera undertook to sneak out of Santiago harbor on Sunday what could Sampson do but follow him? General Blanco should think twice before be speaks so slightingly of the courage of the insurgents who ate supporting Shatter. His remarks reflect upon the Spanish troops which have been in Cuba three years trying to conquer the insurgents. Among the sons of illustrious men who served their country well years ago are Captains Ord and Rodman—the former the son of General Ord, who commanded the Army of the James when Lee surrendered, and the latter the son of the inventor of the Hodman cannon. We forget sometimes and applaud men for success rather than effort, but when men are applauded for effort the heroic reg-

ulars at Santiago will receive a* much praise as any men who are serving their country in the present contest at the risk of life. It is not too much to say that the world has never witnessed more heroic and skillful fighting than that of the regulars at Santiago. Troops with less discipline and less skillfully and bravely led even if twice as numerous, would have been beaten back on Friday. All of the older officers had a valuable experience in the war for the Union. In subordinate positions they displayed soldierly qualities. Most of the younger officers had seen fighting in the Indian country. Had they not seen fighting before Friday none of them would have been so cool and skillful officers as they proved to be. No amount of military reading can so fit an officer for a higher command as the experience of battle. It is cause for congratulation that the President named a large number of regular officers of experience for brigadier generals to command volunteers, to whom the most important commands will be given, for the reason that they are better qualified. After the experience of the past few days it will be some time before the blatant demagogue will assail the officers of the United States army as a class. TIME TO END THE AVAR. The results of the past few days must convince the men in charge of Spanish affairs that it is worse than useless for that nation to make an attempt to continue the war. Spain’s last and really only important fleet has been destroyed while confessing its weakness by running away. By the destruction of Cervera’s fleet Spain has not only ceased to be a naval power, but It is no longer able to send troops or supplies to Cuba. It cannot defend its seaports from bombardment. It has 60,000 men under arms in Cuba, but they can win no victories that can help Spain In the final adjustment, and compelling those men to fight to surrender will reflect no credit nor give prestige to a government two thousand miles away which can no longer render them assistance. The Spanish troops at Santiago, with their leaders, have displayed fighting characteristics which affirm the warlike qualities of that nation. What the Spanish nobility Is pleased to regard as their honor has now been as well vindicated as It can be. In the future the Spanish leaders should endeavor to show the world that they have sufficient wisdom to manage what Is left to them as a people, which can never be other than a country dependent upon the good will of the nations which will control the affairs of the civilized world. "Whether it continues the war or does not, Spain can never again be a factor in the affairs of the great world which has left it in the rear. If Spanish rulers have not the wisdom to see that the time has come to ask for peace, the nations with whose commerce Its hcpe<less contention interferes should cause them to understand that they must make peace. As for the United States, It cannot ask others to Intercede or to talk of terms. Now or a year hence the only condition of surrender will be the relinquishment of most if not all of Spain’s colonial possessions. There is good reason to believe that the events of the past week will bring the war to a speedy termination without a further call for troops, and within thirty days. A SIGNIFICANT FOURTH. The news regarding the war yesterday could not have heen more gratifying than it was. Fc lowing the somewhat discouraging intelligence of the early hours of Sunday night, which caused the people in cities to retire with grave apprehension of the situation at Santiago, the items of good and better news during the later part of the night gave unbounded satisfaction. The meager intelligence of the certainty of the destruction of Cervera’s fleet contained in the morning papers was followed by the assuring dispatch of Admiral Sampson presenting to the United States the destruction of Cervera’s fleet as a Fourth of July present. Following this came the official dispatches of General Shafter to the effect that he had demanded the surrender of Santiago. From remote Manila came news designed to make the American citizen more than ever pleased with the Fourth of July of 1898. This news was that the first expedition bearing troops to Manila has arrived and the men had been landed, thus relieving the situation of any doubt, and notifying the world that the United States is now in that quarter of the world to hold or dispose of the Philippines as seems most to our advantage and the welfare of a people that has long been oppressed by Spanish misrule.

These important events so potential In influence came on the day that is known far and wide as that of the birth of new nation which has come to be one of the great forces in modern civilization. In its influence upon the affairs of the world In the years to come July 4, 1898, must be nearly as Important as was that when the immortal declaration was issued. Then we pleaded for national existence; yesterday we gave notice to the world that, without seeking the imperialism which means conquest, the new nation proposes to make itself an influential factor in the progressive civilization which has sprung into life in recent years. Asa day it marked the emancipation of every Spanish colony from the outrage of Spanish rule. So conclusive have been our triumphs the past week that those whose jealousies would have caused them to rejoice If we had been covered with temporary defeat will now conceal their ill will and desire our friendship. Those governments which have been reported as proposing to interfere with our affairs in the Philippines will probably deny such rumors. Not so much by what we obtained and celebrated yesterday will our future influence in the world’s affairs be recognized as by the capacity we have displayed for taking a larger part in international affairs. It is of vast significance that the nation possessing the greatest wealth of any in the world, and making a marvelous progress in all that constitutes true national greatness has, by Its acts, declared a purpose to become an active member in the family of nations. PROPOSED PURCHASE OF THE WATER WORKS. It is very desirable that Indianapolis should own its water works. Water is the first of the natural essentials with which a city should supply Itself and its people. It is as essential to health as drainage, and is, indeed, a part of a system of sewerage. Regarding the offer which has been made by the Water Company to sell its plant to the city, no one who has not made an examination as an expert should offer an opinion. Consequently it would be unwise in the extreme to accept the offer which has been made because it may appear & reasonable one upon its face. What the city should do before purchasing is to see If the plant 1* In a condition which will warrant bo large an outlay of money. The

city should ascertain the condition of the pipes, whether they are sound, or whether the city, after purchasing, will be compelled to replace wornout mains with new ones. The city should know whether the sources of supply and the reservoirs, pumps and other machinery are sound and ample to meet the growing requirements of the population. No Board of Public Works can obtain the information which it requires. No committee of business men can tell whether or not the purchase on the terms offered will be a good investment for the city or the beginning of larger expenditures. The first thing the city should do if the offer of the company is regarded with favor is to secure the services of a board of disinterested experts to make a thorough examination of the plant to ascertain Us real value to the city as the future source of water supply. This Is the course any private corporation would pursue in regard to the purchase of a large plant; a city corporation is not different, that it should pursue a different policy. While some of the older officers at Santiago are ill, all the reports Indicate that the troops are In excellent health and are standing the trying weather and the unrealizable hardships much better than could have been expected. Now that the excitement Is over for a time there may be a reaction causing men to go to hospital, but the experience of the first two weeks is gpatifying. Somebody writing about firecrackers says the very newest cracker invented by the Chinese is known as the "double sounder,” and Is not yet known in this country. The inaccuracy of persons who undertake to give Information to the public is surprising. Any American citizen within a mile of a boy yesterday is ready to swear that every cracker was a double sounder. BUBBLES IN THE AIR. Deceptive Appearance*. "She says he Is an Ideal husband.” . "He doesn't look such a fool, either.” Hereditary. “These axe the times that show a man’s metal.” "That’s what. I know a fellow that used to be a silver civilian and now he's a tin soldier.” In Great Lnclx. “Bill’s got back from the Klondike.” “Any luck?” "You bet. Ten thousand dollars In dust and two fingers froze off so’s he can’t be made to go to the war.” The Pesnlmist. "It will be a. great thing when that process of liquefying air is perfected,” said the amateur scientist. "I hope I won’t live to see it,” said the professional pessimist. “The prospect of having to pay so much a gallon for breathing air does not appeal to me joyously.” MAY HONOR TWO HEROES RANK OF ADMIRAL AND VICE ADMIRAL MAY BE CREATED. Dewey and Sampion Likely to Receive Merited Record—Patriotic Outburst in the Senate. * WASHINGTON. July 4.—There was profound interest in the achievement of Admiral Sampson and his fleet at Santiago in the Senate to-day, the only branch of Congress in session. It was evidenced in the fact that the dispatch of Admiral Sampson was read and cheered in that body, as well as by the comment In the cloakrooms. In fact, little or nothing else was talked about during the day. It was the unanimous opinion that Congress should make suitable recognition to Sampson and his men. The general Impression was that the rank of both admiral and vice admiral in the navy would be revived, and If no other events of great Importance occurred the achievements of Dewey and Sampson had created heroes and naval commanders who would be entitled to such honors. It Is probable that no bill will be Introduced by the members of the naval committee until there is an official dispatch from the admiral and sent to Congress by the President. SAMPSON PROMOTED. The Hero of Santiago Nominated to Be a Commodore. WASHINGTON, July 4.—The President to-day sent these nominations to the Senate: Commodore Frederick V. McNair, to be rear admiral; Capt. W. T. Sampson, to be commodore; Commander Francis W. Dickins, to be a captain; Lieutenant (junior grade) H. A. Field, to be a lieutenant; Ensign Albert L. Norton, to be a lieutenant; Lieutenant Commander William S. Cowles, to be a commander. * APPLAUSE IN THE SENATE. The Good New* from Santiago Aroused Solon* and A’isitors. WASHINGTON, July 4.—ln the Senate to-day Mr. Allen began his speech in opposition to Hawaiian annexation. At noon Senator Turpie read the Declaration of Independence. During the session a large number of pension bills were passed. Resolutions calling upon the secretary of war for information as to experiments with explosives and inventions were also passed. While Mr. Turpie was reading the Declaration of Independence he was interrupted by Mr. Frye, who announced that he had what he considered exceptionally good news, and asked that the clerk be directed to read the Associated Press dispatch conveying Admiral Sampson’s cablegram, telling of the capture of the Spanish fleet. At the conclusion of the good news all senators and occupants of the galleries joined in applause which was prolonged. The chair refrained, for once, from any effort to check a demonstration of approval in the Senate chamber. CASUALTIES AT CHICAGO. Independence Day Celebration Result* in Seven Casualtiea. CHICAGO, July 4.—One form and another of Independence day celebration resulted in seven fatalities in Chicago to-day. Daniel Hanmer, fifteen years old, Anthony Mael, a young boy, and Frank Rothski, aged thirteen. were drowned. A child named McGrath was burned to death from the explosion of a cannon firecracker, and Fred Waslowski fatally shot himself with a revolver. Mrs. M. Secor, irritated by the incessant firing of crackers in froqt of her house, took carbolic acid and will die. Annie Hitt, aged seventeen, received a mortal wound from a stray bullet. Forty other accidents, more or less serious, are reported, and more than fifty small fires have occurred during the day. HARVEST OF DEATH. The Grim Specter Taking Toll* Among the Seekers of Gold. SEATTLE, Wash., July 4.—The miners who arrived from the Klondike on the New England report that scurvy has marked hundreds of men in the Klondike for its victims. Typhoid fever and pneumonia have already begun a harvest of death in the camp. The unhealthy season has begun and tbe one hospital in the camp was crowded with victims of the diseases peculiar to anew and thinly settled country, i The deaths average about three per day-

Company F, Twenty-fourth Infantry, sunstroke. Gen. T. B. M. Young, commander of the Second Brigade of General Wheeler’s cavalry division, has been suffering with fever since Wednesday night and has been confined to his tent. General Wheeler also had a slight fever on Thursday and Friday morning, but recovered sufficiently to go to the front soon after the cannonading was begun from Grimes hill. General Shatter is still more or less ailing, so that his headquarters has not been moved as far forward as would be most convenient, but he has directed the general movements of his army, though lying most of the time on a cot or in a hammock attended by a surgeon. There were many cases of prostration from heat among the men of the Ninth Massachusetts and the two Michigan regiments, all of whom were landed only this morning and pushed at once to the front to reinforce our wearied men. Wounded Named by Shatter. WASHINGTON, July 4.—General Shatterhas cabled an additional list of officers wounded in the engagement about Santiago. It follows: H. G. EGBERT, lieutenant colonel Sixth Infantry. H. C. DUCAT, captain Twenty-fourth Infantry. CHARLES B. PARKHURST, captain Fourth Artillery. J. J. BREVETON, captain Twenty-fourth Infantry. E. H. LISCUM, lieutenant colonel Twentyfourth Infantry. JAMES FERNANCIO, captain Thirteenth Infantry (since died.) ZENAS W. TORREY, captain Sixth Infantry. E. C. WOODBURY, captain Sixteenth Infantry. R. E. L. STENCE, second lieutenant Sixteenth Infantry. A. B. SCROLL, first lieutenant Thirteenth Infantry. THOMAS A ROBERTS, second lieutenant Tenth Cavalry. GEORGE D. WALKER, captain Sixth Infantry. > CLARENCE N. PURDY, second lieutenant Sixth Infantry. W. H. SIMMONS, second lieutenant Sixth Infantry. JOHN BIGELOW, captain Tenth Cavalry. J. H. HUGHES, second lieutenant Fourth Infantry. J. N. AUGUSTIN, second lieutenant Twentyfourth Infantry (since died.) H. J. KAVANAUGH, captain Thirteenth Infantry. LINCOLN, major Tenth Infantry. HENRY LYONS, lieutenant Twenty-fourth Infantry. THEODORE J. WINT, major Tenth Infantry. An Evidence of Bravery. WASHINGTON, July 4.—A remarkable feature of the fighting in Cuba, and one much commented upon in military circles, is the heavy loss In killed and wounded of commissioned and noncommissioned officers. In spite of the distress which the loss of so many officers has occasioned, the army officials point to the list as a splendid evidence of the dash and personal bravery of the men who wear shoulder straps. Among the killed and wounded since the first fight at Juragua have been officers of every grade from colonel down, and in numbers said to be almost unprecedented in proportion to forces engaged. The loss of officers in the two days’ fighting around Santiago demonstrates to military men that the Americans lead their men wherever they are called upon to go, and are setting an example which cannot but elevate the esprit du corps of the army. A HOOSIER ROUGH RIDER. The Wounded Bugler Murphy Is John Pugh, of Upland. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., July 4.—lt has just become known here that James Murphy, chief bugler of, “Teddy” Roosevelt’s “Rough Riders,” who was shot through the hips in the fight at Sevilla, while advancing toward Santiago, is none other than John Pugh, of Upland, a small town six miles west of here. Pugh was manager of the Upland zink smelting works. He was found short in his accounts, and to destroy the evidence he set fire to the works, and when he was suspected decamped for parts unknown. His friends afterwards learned that from Upland he went to old Mexico, thence to Texas, assuming the name of James Murphy. When the “Rough Riders” were recruited Pugh enlisted under the assumed name of Murphy. Several coincidences lead to the belief that Murphy and Pugh are one. The Murphy wounded was a bugler. I ugh was a cornet player and a fine musician. Nothing would be more natural tl an that he should enlist as a bugler. Another young man with the “Rough Riders” was Roy Tuder, who was killed in the battle. He enlisted in Texas, but was an old Upland boy, and it is believed the two old chums from Upland enlisted at the same me - the waywardness of B *Dl k as a host of admirers, both in this city, where he was well known, and at Upland. ’ THAYER AN INDIANA MAN. An Officer Who Was Formerly Employed on the Journal. A former employe of the Journal, Lieut. Arthur Thayer, was among those killed at the battle of Santiago. He was employed in the composing room of the Journal a short time before he was sent to West Point. He was a son of the late Frank M. Thayer, who was for a long time editor of the Evansville Journal and who was deputy treasurer of state under J. A. Lemcke. The dead officer was a cousin of Oel L. Thayer, of this city. Capt. George Walker, who was wounded in the fighting. Is an Evansville man who has been in the regular service twenty years. Eight years ago he was recruiting officer at Evansville. Well Known on Pacific Coast. SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.—Several of the officers killed or wounded in the battle at Santiago are well known on this coast. Lieut. Julius G. Ord, Sixth Infantry, reported killed, was a son of the late Major General Ord. He enlisted as a private in the First Infantry in 1887, was rapidly promoted, and not long ago was transferred to the Sixth Regiment. Lieut. Col. J. M. Hamilton, also in the list of dead, was formerly inspector general of the Department of the Columbia. He served in the First and Ninth cavalry regiments. Lieutenant Colonel Patterson, who also fell, was once stationed in San Francisco as captain of the Twenty-third InfantryBasil Ricketts, one of the wounded, Is a son of the late John. B. Ricketts and came to San Francisco about ten years ago. He also lived for a time at San Jose. He was prominent in society and did business as

a lawyer and a notary. About ago he went to South Africa on & mining venture. Malvern Hill Barnum. SYRACUSE, N. Y., July 4.—First Lieut. Malvern Hill Bamum, adjutant of the Tenth United States Cavalry, reported wounded in the attack on the fortifications in front of Santiago de Cuba, last Friday, is a son of the late Gen. Henry A. Barnum, of this city. At the battle of Malvern Hill, on July 1, 1862. thirty-six >®ars to a day before the attack on Santiago, General Barnum, who was then major of the Twelfth New York Volunteers, was reported to have been killed. About this time young Barnum was born, and as later reports showed that his father was alive, though badly wounded, he was named in honor of the battle. He is a member of the class of ’B2 at West Point. Lieutenant Barnum’s wife is a daughter of Col. Edmund A. Maginnes, of New Albany, Ind., with whom she is living while ter rusband is at the front. General Meyer’s Son. CLEVELAND, 0., July 4.— Among the United States soldiers who were wounded in the battle before Santiago Friday was Lieut. Oren B. Meyer, a son of Gen. Eld S. Meyer, of this city. General Meyer received a telegram from the War Department stating that his son had been wounded in the hip. The general left for Washington at once to make arrangements to have the lieutenant brought back to the United States. Lieutenant Meyer was an officer of the Third Cavalry and was graduated from West Point in 1890. General Meyer is himself a retired officer of the United States army, and served with distinguished honor through the civil war. Devereanx Waa a Football Player. DENVER, Col., July 4.— Second Lieut. Horace T. Devereaux, reported wounded among Roosevelt’s Rough Riders at Santiago, is a prominent clubman of Colorado Springs and Denver. He enlisted with the Rough Riders as a private, later becoming a sergeant. Two weeks ago he was commissioned a second lieutenant on the recommendation of Lieut. Col. Roosevelt. Devereaux is a graduate of Princeton and played quarter back with the Tigers for several years. He is thirty years of age and unmarried. Spanish Loss Was About 2,500. NEW YORK, July 4.—A dispatch to the World from Halifax, N. 8., says: “Your correspondent was shown a cablegram tonight received by A. Ramesi, from Santiago, stating that the Spanish loss was about 2,500 killed and wounded.” REVOLUTION IN URUGUAY. State of Siege Declared at the Capital City of Montevideo. MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay. July 4.-A revolution has broken out in the capital. The Fourth Regiment of Light Artillery, headed by General Fstevan, has mutinied. Firing began early this morning and continues as this dispatch is sent, close to the city. The government has declared the city in a state of siege and has called out the national guard. A detachment of British blue jackets has been landed here to defend the British consulate. The revolution is supposed to be the result of intrigues of the Herreriata party, composed of the followers of Dr. Miguel Herrera y Obres, former President of the republic of Uruguay and minister of the interior and of justice in the Bovda Cabinet. Cause of the Outbreak. WASHINGTON, July 4.—The revolution which is reported as having broken out in Uruguay is the sec tel to the controversy which arose over the succession of Cuestas to the presidency following the murder of President Borda last August. Under the Constitution Cuestas, who was then president of the Senate, it seems, was the rightful successor, but he took the presidency over the vigorous opposition of former President Herrera, who was a leader of a strong following in the chambers. Cuestas immediately declared himself provisory dictator until order should be re-established and then exiled Herrera, who went to Buenos Ayres, where he is supposed to be now. The present revolution is attributed here to a conspiracy of which the former President* is the father. Followers of the political situation in Uruguay are inclined to believe the present trouble will not prove serious and it will be passed without endangering the present administration or the republic.

John Hay, at the latter’s residence this afternoon, Nearly a thousand Americans, an unprecedented number, attended the ambassador’s reception, although there were comparatively few tourists in town.
