Shelters detailed report of the American casualties in the battles about Santiago is now being prepared for pub- lieation by the war department. It places the total number at 1,595, distributed as follows: Killed, twenty- three officers and 208 enlisted men; wounded, eighty officers and 1,203 men; missing, eighty-one men. The missing •re supposed to be dead, as so far as known the 8panish forces took 90 prisoners. K 1®^ President McKinley and the mem- here o! the Cabinet have agreed upon the course to take in dealing with the re­ quest of Spain, through the French Am­ bassador, as to negotiating peace. If Spain is ready to surrender and to ac­ cept our terms of peace, there will be no difficulty in bringing about a speedy ces­ sation of hostilities, but if the inquiry was prompted by a desire to entrap this government into declaring its intentions towards the Philippines in the hope that ^ey might be of Buch a nature that some of the powers would attempt to object, she will find this government is w>t so easily entrapped. President Mc­ Kinley has already intimated to the representatives of several powers who 1 aought to obtain a hint of his intentions .towards the Philippines that is was none >°f their business. Spain is in no con­ dition to quibble over terms of peace. It " °nly a question of carrying out plans ••w well under way when we shall be in possession of every foot of territory •he owns outside of her own boundaries. The sooner she announces a complete surrender and the willingnes to leave the j$t®rnis of peace to the magnanimity of this government, the more liberal terms ske will get. This must sooner or latter become apparent to Spain, just as it did that no talk of peace through any other power would be paid any attention to by this government. It was only when the request to know whether this country Ifiroald entertain propositions looking to peace came directly from the government M Spain that Presidedt McKinley replied gto it, and it will only be when SDain an­ nounces her willingness to - «SRSS.&ut piau) will be had, W TH* BOTS WHO DID MOV OO. July US, 1898. FMBWDB:--We are on the train about 40() miles from the famous For­ tress Monroe, and are in the very best of health and, spirits. We broke camp on the night of the 21st and slept on the ground rolled in our blankets. I had an attack of malaria that night and, know ing that I must make a bold move or be unable to go, I shot eighteen grains of quinine into me inside of three hours, and kept mum. It did not affect my head a particle, and the result is that I am on my way to gather Spanish scalps. We were marched to Bossville at a hot gait, in order, I think, to thin out those who were unable to go. Company G did not lose a man. We have only one sick man in the company and he was left in the hospital. After being on the cars for about three hours we pulled out. Be­ tween Chattanooga and Cincinnati there are no cities to speak of, and the popu­ lace consists of negroes and poor whites. We went over some beautiful but rugged scenery, and passed through twenty- seven tunnels. We got coffee at a sum­ mer hot^l about half way to Cincinnati. An alarm was turned in at two o'clock by the guards which caused us, with out stopping to question its veracity, to spring from our beds and from the cars like a shot. The train had broken in two while standing and left seven or eight coaches behind. Fearing a rear end col­ lision from section No. 2 the guards shouted that we were about to collide ' I was in a sound sleep but awoke, and grasping the situation, but not my clothes, I rushed tc the platform only to find it crowded. In my sleepy condition I tried to squeeze between a water barrel and the railing. The effort completely awoke me and I jumped over the obstacle and half way up a thirty-foot bank full of stones and briars. When I reached the top I found the fellows scrambling over a barb wire fence like a lot of sheep. I looked back to see how far I jumped, and not seeing an approaching head-light stopped. The alarm was entirely false but proper. After the necessary pre­ cautions bad been taken we returned to our beds. After the excitement was over [ took an inventory and found that I was whole and had only lost a lot of skin off my hand. We went within six miles of Cincinnati a»nd then turned off for Lexington. I went to sleep shortly after the scare and it seemed scarcely a minute before the corporal awoke me to go on guard at the platform. As we journeyed along we saw signs of civilized people more and more. Whole towns stayed up all night, to see us go through. At More- head the train was surrounded by Ken­ tucky beauties, who came to our windows and asked for souvenirs. I have at least a half dozen addresses from dark-eyed, handsome girls. I tell you fellows, as Nick Colby said to me, you have missed one-half your lives already and can afford to lose the other for Uncle Sam. Old Confederate veterans and their wives could be seen crying "as we pulled out. There are good people in Old Kentucky, and the Virginians would make a brass dog patriotic. When we reached Hun­ tington large baskets full of huge sand­ wiches were brought aboard by detailed citizens. The whole city staid up all eight to leceive us and pay homage to the boys in blue. W^ had a glorious reception and stayed there about one hour. By the way, fellows, I forgot to mention long ago that the new livery charged us f 7 to take us to W oodstock. But to return to the subject. Hunting­ ton, West Virginia, spent over #300 for us. It is very nice to be appreciated. We may be under the sod inside of a month. The water that was furnished us came from the Tennessee river. Talk about rotton. Whew! If Billy sets this as I have written it, he gets a position as blind reader in the dead letter office. We are rushing along at high speed along the Genoy river, it is muddy like all rivers through the South. Colby and 1 are together and are three coaches behind our leiiows. We do not mind it, for we know every man in our car. We are passing through a beautiful valley about a half mile wide. Every mother's son of us is busted. I hope you fellows who are waiting for the Fuller and La Grange companies are enjoying your­ selves . If I had I would read the papers and turn hermit. This is the finent, scenery we have passed through, so I will finish after a while. RICHMOND, Va.. July 24.--I will mail this here before I forget it. Qood bye and good feather beds. F. W. BENNETT.

Why Spain accept an our miK QOING UP. Caused by an Increased Demand and Shortage of the Pastures. Chicago dealers have recently offered 75 to 9G cents a can for milk, and fur­ nish cans. President Holcomb, of the Milk-Shippers Union, thinks that milk will command a good price for the next two years and pay much better than in the past. Scarcity of cows, flies and dry weather conduce to the shortage of milk. The Chicago Record predicts that milk will reach $2 in October, but President Hol­ comb is nof»» so sanguine. Chicago is short 3,000 cans a day for this time of year. Her usual consumption is 15,000 cans per day. More is required in sum­ mer than in winter, two of the reasons being, milk does not keep as well in hot weather and consumers buy more; another is the ice cream business which is assuming mammoth proportions. The scarcity of cows is accounted for by killing of calves in the past in order to sell more milk and hence no cows were raised. To offset this cows have been shipped from the west till but few are obtainable. Milk will be ecarce until new cows are raised. This is the only source for cows as the west is well cleared up. Of late another factor has entered into the milk trade. The condensing fac­ tories have large orders from Uncle Sam for his army, say nothing o increased demand from the Klonkike and Europe. The demand for milk is steadily increas­ ing at home and abroad, and the price now has an upward tendency. Mr. Holcomb says the outlook for the mllfc business is exceedingly bright and pro­ fitable returns await those who have milk to sell. *>• i % Important ttnestlon Among the practical farmers of to-day * Is whore they can get the most for the ffioaey invested and the largest profit for the labor of themselves and families.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., I July 26.1898 f DEAB FATHER:--We will probably go on board the transports this afternoon, and BB I have a 1 Ittle time will write my last letter in the United States tor some time to come. W-e left Chickamauga on Friday morning last and arrived here Sunday noon. In coming we passed through some of the wildest country it has ever been my fortune to behold. It is mountainous a greater part of the way, and the train winds in and out so that you do not see the engine only about every ten minutes, for by the time you come ai ound one curve the engine is out of sight around a second one. The rocks in some places rise to a height of 2,000 feet and then you will plunge into a tunnel, of which we passed through about 150. Coming out of one of the tunnels you will probably cross a gorge where you can look down 250 feet to where a mountain stream is tumbling among the rocks. We passed through a great many coal mines while coming, but then no description that I can give will half do this country justice, from a pic­ turesque standpoint, but I do not see how the people live, for there is not enough dirt in a whole mountain to grow a hill of potat oes. Still on these moun­ tains, seemingly out of the solid rock, grow immense pine trees, in many cases splitting the rock with their roots. Here and there like immense monuments stand rocks probably twice as large as the Riverside House. As soon as we bad our pup tents pitched here I started for the bay, or more properly, the mouth of the James river, and took my first salt water bath, and it was great. A good many of the boys have cut their feet on the oyster shells which lie around in pro­ fusion about twenty rods Srom Bhore, and then there is the Jelly fish which stings like a nettle when it comes in con­ tact toith your flesh. One of the boys from Co. K caught a young Shark yester­ day. He was about two feet long, and although said to be harmless, was an ugly looking customer. Well we are fairly started on our journey to try con­ clusions with the Spaniards, and here's betting we do them proper. Well I must close. More anon. J. M. Van SLYKE. P.
