A despatch from Cobocoiik says that Alexander Hum°, a well known farmer ol this section, has received from the War Dt^partment at Washington official notiflostlon that his two sons, Walter and Joseph Hume, wore killed in the battle nf July Ist before Santiago. Mr, Hume is overwhelmed with grief, and has the sympathy of a wide circle of fi ioiids. Nothing is knnwn as to the niaiinor of their death. The young men left htr^ fur northern Wisconsin about oighteei) uKuiths ago, and were just thp high spirited sort of fellows to be swept away by the war enthusiasm. A letter was received from them in June saying they had enlisted and were or. the way to Santiago. Nothing further was heaid of them until the notitioation of their death. North Victoria is sending not a few of her sons to the front.
