The Black Diaaond Kail road. The following article appeared in the Vincennes Sun of Tuesday la?t and is j equally applicable to the citizens of Jeferson and Washington townships through which the proposed road passes: Those most interested are very jubilant over the encouraging outlook for the building of the propoeed Black Diamond railroad, a division of which Vincennes is a terminus. The following communication concerning this road has been handed the San which is published in full and will be read wjth much interest The directors of the several corporations constituting the Black Diamond system had a meeting at Cynthiana, Kentucky, on j Tuesday, dune 2t£h. 1S9». to hear reports, and take steps to further the enterprise and its final construction. President Kirk by s and Mr. N. C. Dickerson, the financial agent, were present. All the corporations i were represented. The meeting to earn- ] est in its deliberation, and all present : seemed veTv enthusiastic m their support. It was the geuerailv expressed opinion that the outlook for the road is indeed encouraging. Mr. Dickerson stated that if the report of the expert to the capitalists is satisfactory the money for the construction of the road will be forthcoming at once. Arrangements were perfected at this rueet-, ing to have the expert come oyer from England at once, and he was cabled from Cynthiana to make his arrangements immediately for an inspection lour of the route The expert is expected to arrive m the course of several weeks. Those who beet. know* the facts connected with the proposed road aud the resources of the country through which it passes, have no doubt that the expert's report will be favorable. The development of possibilities of ihe sqpttyoi trade, ocgesiontd by the war with Spam, ww be a material factor m enlisting capital in the enterprise. Everyone left the meeting at Cynthiana feeling that the prospect for the early construction and

Does Baby Thrive? If your baby is delicate and sickly and its food does not nourish it, put fifteen or twenty drops of Scott's Emulsion in its bottle three or four times a day and you will see a marked change. We have had abundant proof that they will thrive on this emulsion when other food fails to nourish them. It is the same with larger children that are delicate. Scott's Emulsion seems to be the element lacking in their food. Do not fail to try it if your children do not thrive. It is as' useful for them in yammer as in winter. fftk ywr doctor if this it m*t tnu. yUHTT 4 bOWKE. Vo*

completion of the Black Diamond system of railroads was never as bright as now. The people of Knox and the counties through which the Indian* division jwsses should now awake aud go to work in earnest. It is impossible to coiitemplate all i the advantages which will accrue to us from this road when finished. It is surely the most important and the most promising enterprise that has been offered within the recollection of any of our people. Now let us see what the people of Vincennes and 'Knox county can do to help this enterprise along aud assist the director? in their efforts to have our di vision inspected and to make the best showing possible of our town, county and enterprise.

Latest War News. Santiago was surrendered by General Total to General Sbafter. There were ujh wards of 25,000 soldiers who will l>e taken back to Spain. A large number of cannon.: 10,000 rifles, several boats and' a large amount of ammunition was also secured by the surrender. To transport the Sftaniards back to Spaiu will cost the United States j nearly a million dollars. The following are the teems of the sur- j render of General Toral and his forces \n j the province of Santiago,Cuba: 1— Twenty thousand refugees at Canev 1 and Siboney are to be turned back into the city. 2— An American iufantry patrol is to. be posted on the roads surrounding the city 1 and in the country between the American j .cavalry lines. 3— American hospital corps is to give attention to any sick and wounded among the Spani.-h soldiers in Santiago. 4— All the Spanish troops in the province, except General Luque’s 10.000 at Holguin, are to come to tlie city to surrender. 5— The guns and defenses to the city are to be turned over to the Americans in good condition, 6— The Americans gre to have full use of the Juragua railway, which belongs to the Spanish government. 7— Alt Spaniards are to be conveyed home by Americau transports with the leas! possible delay, and are to be permitted { to take portable church property with them. I g—Spanish are to leave the city with military honors, but surrender their arms before leaving. 9—The Spaniards agree to co-operate with the Americans in destroying mines' and torpedoes at the entrance to the harbor ' and in the bay. General Watson's fleet will go to the J coast of Spain immediately and proceed to j do garvioe.

From latest account? the Cuban $ whom the United States set out to free, are likely j to give our anpy trouble at Santiago, they being desirous of controlling the captured j city. Santiago is now under military | goremmeut and General McKibbon made j governor-general of the newly ypquired j erritnry. The city was looted before the j surrender and there was great destruction throughout the city erf property. The city is in a bad sanitary condition and there is much sk-kness. large numbers of the American soldiers are afflicted with the yellow fever on the field near Santiago, but as yet few deaths , have been reported. Most of the grounded j soldiers have been returned to the hospitals in the United States for treatment. The next move is on Puerto Rico and San Juan. General Miles will do battle at the forneer place atai Admiral Sampson at the latter. Battles are likely to occur dur-; ing the next few days. Dewey still holds the fort at Manilla, i Troops are expected there in a fe^r days, i when an attempt will he made to take the! Philippine Islands. The Cubans are de- j sanding that they be allowed to capture the cities and assume charge of that government. To this Dewey objects. The Indiana troops will go to Puerto Rieo and other points.
