ON TO PORTO RICO-

GEN. MILES LEADS THE EXPEDI TION AGAINST THAT ISLAND. All the Indiana Troops to (io-An Army of at LmuI 30,000 to W Seat af Earllasl Passible MowtC8Mipaly ta ba Short .iii.i Decisive. (Jen. Miles will lead the expedition to Porto Kico. The one hundred and fifty seventh regiment, of which Co. "M" is a part will be taken to that island along with other troops. The purpose of Secretary Alger is to make the l'orto Riean campaign a short one. An overwhelming force will be thrown upon the island and it is possible that a bloodless victory will be achieved when the Spanish become convinced that they have no reasonable chance to resist successfully. The expedition is to comprise 30,000 at the start, and it will be swelled soon to 40,000 men ami if necessary to 70,000 men, the equipment of the volunteer forces having now progressed so well as to warrant the statement that that number of men can be ready tor service in l'orto Kico within a very shorB time. The entire body of troops at Tampa will be taken, numbering about 13,000 men and including a Jot of heavy and light artillery under command of (Jen. Rodgers. The expedition will be particularly strong in artillery, as some of that at Santiago commanded by (Jen. Randolph is to be drawn upon. The Tampa troops are known as the Fourth corps, under Maj.-Cen. Coppinger. The part whieh the navy is to take in the assault against l'orto Kico has been fully matured. The several transport tleets will have with them one or two auxiliary crafts carrying strong secondary batteries of six or eight six pounders. Secretary Long said that no time had been fixed for the depart ure of Admiral Sampson's Meet for San J nan. As to the naval plans he would only say that they would co-operate in every way with the movements of the army. The report that, three monitors were on their way from Key West to San .Juan was characterized by the secretary as unaut lorized. It is the general understanding, however, that the navy will rely nainly on armored ships for the bocibardment of San .Juan, as the big battleships and monitors allord the best means of offensive warfare, while their armor belts protect them from such lire as the San Juan oatteries can bring to bear. The movement of the ships from Santiago to their new fields of action will begin at once, and it is probable that some of Admiral Sampson's ships were detached Tuesday, and proceeded with den. Miles' first expedition toward l'orto Kico. Laid To ft t. The funeral of William MulRoland took place Tuesday at 10:30 a. m. from the Catholic church. Mullholand, it will be remembered, was the young man who was shot while attempting to burglarize the store of (iideon Logan at Teegardeo. His death was recorded yesterday. When he knew that there was no chance for his recovery, he asked for spiritual consolation, and requested that Father Moench be sent for. Mullholand was not a Catholic prior to the time that he was shot by Mr. Logan, lie, however, when he knew that his time was very brief on earth, asked that the rites of the Catholic church be administered to him. Father Moench responded and did everything within his power to make the last hours of this poor boy plessant. And let it be said that young Aiunnoianu iuny reanzea anu appreciated the efforts put forth for his comfort. His last words were these: "I thank Father Moench, Sheriff Marshall and his good wife for what they have done for me; and don't forget to remember me to Dr. Wilson, Cod bless him." Mullholand was a bright young man, but, like many others, he went wrong. Father Moench preached an eloquent discourse. His text was taken from st, Luke, 23rd chapter, 89U) to 4:ird verses. A brief history of the young man was given. The text was an ap propriate one and alluded to the thief on the cross. The church was crowded, and interment took place in the Catholic cemetery. OIit uary. James II. Robinson was born Sept. 18, 1834, in Jennings county, Ind., and died at the home of his sister. Mrs. Charles B. Force, near 1'lymouth, July 16, 180H, aged 03 years, J months and 28 days. He was married to Charity E.

Mt Cowan in 1895 . To this union were born four sons, all living. .lames M. in Missouri, Ira 1). near Knox, David at Jiellerton, Ky., Charles at Three Rivers, Mich. Only the son from Knox was able to attend his father's funeral. One brother was present. The deceased was a member of Co. II. Ih'Ah Ind. Vol., serving in the late civil war. Reing much affected he was an inmate of the National Soldiers home at Marion, Ind. At the time of his death he was absent from the home on a 30 days' furlough to visit his relatives. Rev. L. S. Smith conducted the funeral services at 1:30 Sunday afternoon. Many friends and a deputation of Miles H. Tibbetts post (J. A. EL bore his remains to the I'.wald cemetery for interment.

l ather Moeur-h to Leave Plymouth, Monday morning Father Moench, at the morning services at the Catholic ch irch, announced to his congregation that next Sunday morning he would preach his farewell sermon to the mem bers of the Catholic church in Plymouth. This announcement come like a cyclone to his hearers as they had no in timation before hand that they were about to lose their beloved pastor. Father Monech has been ordered by the bishop of the church to take charge of the church at Valparaiso, .lust who his successor will be is not )t known, but an effort is being made by the church in this city to retain Father lloeneh, though it is not thought that his friends will succeed. During hia long pastorate in this city, Father Moench has endeared him sell to the members of his church and to the people of 1'lymouth, who regret very much that he has been called to another field. He carries with him the very best wishes of every person in Plymouth, who wish him health and happiness and unbounded success in his new ield of labor. I . It. suiiduy-sHiool Picnic.

Molters band w as present and discoursed sweet music. The heavy wind storm had a tendency to keep a few people away. The beat if ul lawn was brilliantly lighted up with Chinese lanterns suspended from trees, shrubery j and porch. National airs and iustru mental music were some ot the feat ures. Ice cream, cake and lemonade were served in abundance, and the society netted a neat sum of money. Taken as a whole it was one of the most pleasant and enjoyable socials given by the Ladies' Aid society this summer. Mr. and Mrs. Mattmgly left nothing undone to make every one present happy. Or.

' In the evening a number of friends from the city gathered in to wish the doctor a long and eventful career and they were treated to a delicious supper and auxiliary refreshments. Mr, Holtendorff is a young man yet and his very good nature demonstrated to the visitors that he felt as young as any of them. Mis. JIolt.eudorIT was the recipient of many compliments for the spread afforded the guests.

NOT A CANDIDATE.

MR. KELLISON WILL NOT BE IN THE RACE FOR CONGRESS. BMbSMMU Assigned for IeHiniii to Afe n ccoml Race I'rtre Bwwtllll to lep Abreast of th Progress of Events. To the Dcmocrmcy of the Thirteenth Congressional District: I take this manner of announcing that 1 am cot a candidate for the dem ocratic congressional nomination and that 1 could not accept the nomination if given me. My disinclination to be a candidate for renomination has been frequently made known to those with whom I have conversed, ever since the campaign of 1896, and 1 had supposed that my views were generally understood; but, as there appears to be some misapprehension on the subject, I deem it proper to make this public announcement. However much I may regret the necessity that determines my course, I am constrained by the imperative demands of professional and private business affairs, together with other reasons not necessary to be stated, to ask that my name he not considered in connec tion with the congressional nomination. To my political friends throughout the district, who by precept and example have proven their devotion to the principles of true Democracy, who have loyally supported the democratic cause in its hour of greatest trial, and who have expressed their desire to see me renominated, I am profoundly grateful, and desire to return my sincere thanks. Two years ago 1 regarded the nomination, coming to me in the manner it did, as a call to discharge one of the highest duties of citizenship. Clevelandism had brought the great democratic party almost to death's door and with a so-called democratic administration installed in power, in 1804 the country was swept by the opposition as with a cyclone. Indiana gave one of the largest Republican majorities in its history, and this congressional district returned a Republican plurality of over forty-two hundred votes. Such was the result of the unpatriotic course of a president who made a practice of going fishing on Decoration Day, and who attempted to commit the Democratic party of the nation to the policy of gold monometallism! This resulted in the nomination of a second candidate for president, and the revolt of those who were willing to receive their financial ideas and political doctrine from the leaders of the republican party. There was no reasonable hope of success in this district, and many of my political associates will bear me out in the statement that 1 regarded it in that light at that time. I made the race at great protessional and financial sacrifice, and 1 may be pardoned for saying that the republican maionty of 1804 in the Thirteenth congressional district was reduced in 18 in as great or greater proportion than in any other district in the state. While 1 do not claim credit for this result, it proves that the party suffered no injury at my hands and furnishes food lor reflection for those persons who appear to think that men ought to be required to beg for nominations and for the privilege of spending their time and money in engaging in desperate and doubtful political contests. So far as relates to myself, the battle of 1800 was made in the hope that I might contribute something toward arousing the industrial classes from the political lethargy that was fast binding their senses, and in the hope that the affairs of the government might be placed in the hands of men who would make an honest attempt to correct some of the evils and injustices that were threatening to destroy the prosperity of the masses. The task was herculean and well nigh hopeless, and had 1 viewed it from the standpoint of the practical politician, there would have been no motive to have iuduced the attempt. I advocated what 1 believed was best for the masses of my countrymen, and earnestly labored for principles that 1 believed were calculated to promote the welfare of the great majority of the public who constitute the plain people of the land. That record is made. 1 could not change it if I would, and, so far as the motive and purpose that ac tuated my conduct are concerned, I would not change it if I could, While the spirit that inspired that campaign endures, there is no occasion

for the friends of better government to despair. It is not impossible to carry this congressional district in the coming campaign, but to do that we must ask and welcome the co-operation of every

voter who believes that government ought to be administered in the interest of the majority. Without relinquishing one jot or tittle of its convictions on the subject of financial reform and bimetallism, the Democratic party must keep itself abreast of the progress of events, holding itself ready to take high, advanced and patriotic ground in dealing with the many new questions demanding governmental attention. In thus putting at rest any possible doubt as to my candidacy, I trust to retain that interest in public affairs that good citizenship demands of all, and 1 shall continue to labor for the success of those principles in government that are calculated to bring the greatest good to the greatest number. Cbakixs Kellhom. 1'lymouth, Ind.. July 10, UN, Letter from C';tni Thoiuas. Lyta!, Ca., July 17, Camp Ceorge H. Thomas. -Arthur Craig, Dear Friend. -1 received an answer to your letter while at Camp Bushnell. I was glad to hear from you of course. 1 have plenty of correspondence since I have been in camp. Hut I thought I would let you know we have moved south. We are stationed at Chickaniauga park at present. I like the place very much although it is very hot. We got our uniforms at Columbus, Ohio, before we left there, and our pay for seven days at 92 per day. We left Columbus at 7 o'clock Tuesday evening, the 7th, and arrived at Chattanooga, Tenn., Wednesday the 8th, about 12 o'clock, after which we were run down to Lytai, Ha., on a special train, a distance of six miles. Then we marched to the camp of the second Ohio, a distance of three miles. We were somewhat tired out after our trip. 1 had to guard one end of the train on the way down, so 1 didn't get much sleep, but 1 saw some of the country. We came through Dayton, Sprincrlleld and Cincinnati, ., Ceorgetown and Lexington, Ky., Somersett and Chattanooga, Tenn. We got our equipments last night, and our guns, haversacks, knapsacks, guns and canteens were issued to us just after supper. We were out on target practice all week and just got in about three o'clock yesterday evening. We marchtd six miles through the hot sun. The First and Second battalions of our regiment will go this week. While I wa6 out in the country shooting 1 visited all the peach orchards anil blackberry patches near. We didn't do a thing to the pies and cakes the old mountaineers would bring around. The corn is in roasting ear here now and cotton is m bloom. This is a great place for strawberries. There are many patches of 10 and 80 acres in peaches. , 1 was down to Chickaniauga creek this morning and washed my clothes. 1 used a stone for a wash board. There were about a hundred in the creek washing, ami a fellow from the 158th Indiana took a snapshot of us. 1 am going to get one of the pictures and send it home. It has been raining considerably down here this week. Do you know what regiment Herb Sponeler is in and the name of his company? Try and lind out. He may be down here and 1 could see him. 1 st-e lots of boys here fron different places whom I know among r0,tHM men. We get the Democrat and Republican from home each week. Faulding had a big lire last Wednesday night about 10:30 o'clock. The Model opera house block and the good part of another block were damaged by !ire and water. The opera house was what Company M used for an armory and drill hall. The boys nearly tore it up the night before they left. We are tinker command of Maj. ( 'en Brook and he will go in the l'orto Rican expedition which will lea?e soon. I would like to get a w hack at IfeOM Spaniards with my new gun. Well I must close. The last letter I got lrom home they were all well. Write soon for fear of moving to l'orto Rico. Yours Truly E. EL Enqlbbabt. OglssbM My W to Hawaii. Lieutenant . B.
