Tacoma, Wash., Jul'y 4.—It is announced
here that the salaries of all the firemen
and engineers on the Pacific are to be ad-
vanced at least 15 per cent, commencing
this month. It is also reported that con-
ductors are to receive an increase in
wages.
The fact that Cervera attempted to es-

the place doomed. To prevent his ships
falling into our hands he had to sink them

URUGUAYAN REVOLUTION.
No more glorious or eventful Fourth
ever dawned in the 122 years of our unex-
ampled history than this we celebrate to-
day, It may be readily imagined that the
Fourth following Lee’s surrender was
impressive north of Mason and Dixon’s
line, but the rejoicing on that occasion
was marred by a note of sadness which
today is gone forever.
The flag floats over a captured strong-
hold in the far east to meet the sun in its
rise from the Orient, and over another
stronghold in the Occident to greet the
encircling orb which will never again set
upon the Stars and Stripes.
At Manila Dewey’s faithful vigil is re-
lieved by the long expected troops to take
actual possession of the soil where Ameri-
can liberty is to plant its foot forever
upon the neck of Spanish tyranny.
At Santiago Shafter’s army is occupy-
ing the outer works of the enemy, and ia
awaiting the lapse of 24 hours of grace be-
fore reducing the doomed city to the ig-
nominous fate of an inhuman, and unre-
penting governments—24 hours of mercy
for the escape of innocent women and
children from the scourge of righteous-
ness. Just outside lie the hulks of
Spain’s last effective squadron, and from
our ships in the Caribbean and the army
in the hills the soul stirring notes of “The
Star Spangled Banner” go up in remem-
brance of the Maine and in token of the
new day that is born in unhappy Cuba,.
Such history is marked by this Fourth
of July as the world has never known, for
it is the beginning of a civilization mili-
tant succeeding a civilizataion isolated—a
civilization no longer to be a passive ex-
ample to the oppressed, but hereafter to
be a forceful and permeating influence in
all the affairs of earth which touch its
people or their kindred or neighbors. It is
the herald of a revolution which the re-
maining two years of the century will see
wrought for the glory of Anglo-Saxon
culture, human freedom and prosperous
commerce within all the sphere of Ameri-
can contact on either ocean.
It is indeed a most glorious Fourth, be-
cause it puts American citizenship in the
front rank of the world’s manhood, and
crowns the United States as greatest in
power as the greatest in purpose of any
government that has ever graced the
globe.

New York, N. Y., July 4.—Advices re-
ceived by the junta says: News was
reached here to the effect that Capt. Gen.
Blanco has sent a message from Havana
to the queen regent of Spain requesting
her to relieve Admiral Cervera from com-
mand of the fleet in the harbor of San-
tiago and urging that he be replaced by
Commodore Villamil. Gen. Blanco said
further that he did not believe Admiral
Cervera was equal to the importance of
his command, and intimated that if San-
tiago is lost to the Americans and Cubans
it was due to his neglect to take advan-
tage of his opportunity.
Blanco thinks that Admiral Cervera has
allowed valuable opportunities to slip by
while he has been lying in the harbor of
Santiago, and says that he should have
gone out to meet and fight the American
fleet before the invading army was given
an opportunity to land.
At the same time Blanco’s
shows that he still believes,
hopes, that Spain will be victorious,
informs the queen regent that the dissen-
sion and revolt among the police and vol-
unteers in Havana, due to the strict ob-
servance of military discipline, have
blown over, and the inhabitants of the
city, as well as the soldiers, are pacific
and patriotic in their expressions and ac-
tions. He says that the American sol-
diers are not fit to fight in Cuba, never
having had any experience in tropical
countries, and the intense heat and pecu-
liar climate have produced much illness
among them.
The Cuban soldiers he refers to very
contemptuously, saying that no account
is to be taken of them, and he urges the
queen regent to pay no' attention to
American reports of victories in Cuba,
which, he says, are written for the sensa-
tional American press and have no found-
ation in fact.
According to the message Blanco says
that a number of vessels, loaded with pro-
visions from various ports, have arrived,
and that there is no danger of a famine.
The American blockade of Havana, he
says, is absolutely ineffectual, and the
steamers find no difficulty in running it.
A few of them were captured, but the
majority, so far, Aave succeeded in land-
ing their cargoes. '
At the same time the queen regent re-
ceived information ’from the representa-
tives of the South American governments
in Madrid that they, could not undertake
to interfere or intervene in any way with
the Spanish-American war, even to the
extent of offering their services in the
matter of securing favorable peace terms.
Their declination(;fS accompanied by ex-
pressions of regret, but it is couched in
such terms as to Ifettve Spain no hope of
aid from that quaistMr. j The majority of
South American governments, while pre-
serving a strict neg^aiity, are at heart in
favor of Cuba, if not of the United States,
and would do nothing to place obstruc-
tions in the way of ,the island people and
the independence which now seems inevi-
table.

The Congregationalists at Stepney Praise
the American. Cause.
New York, N. Y„ July 4.—A special to
the Tribune from London says:
British and American flags hung from
the pulpit at Stepney meeting house Sun-
day, and independence day was celebrated
with more than, Yankee energy 24 hours
ahead of time in. the historic stronghold
of English non-conformity. The Congre-
gational church near Stepney Green was
filled with an East end .audience consist-
ing mainly of men.
H. A. Kennedy, as chairman of the
Stepney men’s Sunday union, made an in-
troductory address referring In hearty,
generous terms to America, justifying the
revolution, in 1776, and declaring that Eng-
lishmen would have done 'the same thing
under the same circumstances, since it
was not in English blood to lie down and
be trampled upon. He also asserted that
America in fighting Spain was not neg-
lecting public duty, as England and Eu-
rope renounced their moral obligation
wheen the Turks were slaughtering Arme-
nians. The United States were acting like
an elder brother toward a younger one
who needed thorough chastisement. He
expressed a firm belief that the result of
the present hostilities would be beneficial
both in the West Indies and the Philip-
pines.
After Mme. Ciphorah Monteith had sung
“The Star Spangled Banner” from the
pulpit Col. James L. Taylor, president of
the American society, delivered a short
and judicious address on the relations of
the United States and England at the time
of the revolution, and on the signs of in-
creasing good feeling now existing be-
tween them. He referred during the ad-
dress to Special Ambassador Reid, whose
name was received by the audience with
enthusiastic applause,
Col. Taylor was followed by John Ken-
nedy, almost the oldest ex-chairman of
the Congregational union, who' was in
charge of Stepney lodging house for 36
years and took a prpiplnent part in the
60’s in arousing British sympathy for the
union. This veteran made an -earnest
speech, full of good feeling for America.
Stepney has the honor of being the first
English community to ^celebrate the birth-
day of American liberty with fraternal
heartiness and cordiality.
Three of Sampson’s Vessels Have an Ad-
venture atVMhnzanillo.
New York, N. Y., July 4.—A dispatch to
the Herald from off Santiago, via Playa
del Esto, July 2, says:
Three vessels of Admiral Sampson's
fleet have just returned from an adven-
turous expedition, to Manzanillo, during
which they sunk two' Spanish gunboats,
one sloop and one pontoon, disabled a
Spanish torpedo boat, considerably dam-
aged several of the enemy’s gunboats and
compelled the commander of a troop ship
to run her toward the shore.
Admiral Sampson’s vessel, the Hist,
was struck 11 times, and another, the
Hornet, was disabled by a shell whicli hit
her main, steam pipe.- She was towed out
of danger by the Wampatuck.

When Gen. Shafter was asked by Gen.
Miles if he wanted anything, he answered
that he was very comfortable and would
take Santiago as soon as he got ready.
Then he notified Washington, when the
assault began, and reported again when
he had surrounded the city and demanded
its surrender. He hasn’t thought it worth
while to say much in the meantime, be-
cause having announced what he would
do and that he had started doing it, he
expected the country to take him at his
word.
Montevideo in a State of Siege and the
National Guard Called Out.
Montevideo, July 4.—A revolution has
broken out in the capital. The Fourth
regiment of light artillery headed by Gen.
Estevan has mutinied. Firing began early
this morning and continues as this dis-
patch is sent, close to the city. The gov-
ernment has decaired the city in a state
of siege and has called out the national
guard.
A LIVELIER PACE.
Sabine Pass News.
Out on the road—at trade centers,
among shippers, with transportation
agencies—drumming up trade for Galves-
ton, is as bright and active a band of hus-
tlers as ever sallied out on such an er-
rand. Mr. John E. Baily, manager of the
GalVeston wharf company, is in the lead.
Their object is to secure a larger export
trade through the port of Galveston. Kan-
sas City, St. Louis, Chicago and perhaps
other cities are embraced, in their traffic
securing, freight soliciting itinerary. The
News commends their judgment, praises
their energy and wishes them success.
Other .southern ports may learn a lesson
in which Galveston has been a hitherto
not overly diligent scholar. And what if
we should all become bright learners and
go out after the business that properly
belongs to us? What have we done or
what are we doing to secure the immense
trade to the north of us, at all in keeping
with the importance of the subject? That
we have not all been idle, the splendid
wharves, slips, elevators, cotton sheds
and shipping facilities represented by Mr.
Baily’s company and the work of others
fully attest. The slips and wharves built
and being built by the Sabine land and
improvement company at this place are
tangible -evidences of confidence in the
port and a purpose to secure a share o-f
the Gulf export trade.
Southern Pacific railroad, now so well in
hand; the unsurpassed shipping facilities
it is now constructing here upon its own
slips and deep water front attest a pur-
pose to meet its responsibilities to both
the public and its .stockholders. Much has
indeed been done, more is being done and
vastly more remains to be done. Galves-
ton is setting a livelier pace now, and if
the rest of us -are to ride in the band
wagon we, too, must be after securing
larger export trade.

A $20,000 Event at Sheepshead Bay This
Afternoon.
New York, N. Y., July 4.—The Realiza-
tion, the richest stake event of the year
for 3 “year olds, worth approximately
$20,000, will be run this afternoon at
Sheepshead bay. The race is at a dis-
tance of one mile and five-eighths, and
a field of eight horses is named to start.
They include Marcus Daly’s $40,000 colt
Hamburg, L. S. and W. P. Thompson’s
Brooklyn derby winner The Huguenot, M.
F. Dwyer’s Previous, H. J. Dwyer’s Hand-
ball, John E. Madden’s Kentucky derby
winner Plaudit, George Boyd’s Latson and
Boy Orator.
The race gives promise of being sensa-
tional. Not the least interesting feature
will be the meeting of Hamburg and
Plaudit, the famous stable mates. The
Huguenot is also prominent, and though
lately he has not shown remarkable form,
still he has proved himself a good race
horse. Previous, in his latest running,
seems to have been overdone. Hamburg
is thought best of, and with his flight of
speed, if he can go the distance, there
seems hardly a possibility of his being
beaten.

Madrid, July 3, 3.15 a. m.—An official dis-
patch from Havana received here says
the American forces landed at Cayabacoa,
but were repulsed and forced to re-em-
bark hastily by a Spanish detachment,
upon which the American vessels fired 20
shots without effect. According to the
same dispatch the Americans landed at
Punta Caney and Punas. An American
transport, the dispatch further says,
stranded on the coast arid three American
vessels again bombarded Manzanillo, but
were repulsed and forced to withdraw.
coal from the collier Pompeii off
denas. Two tugs
about Cardenas,
patrol the shore between Bahia Honda
and Port Cabanas. One or more big ships
will lie off Havana and Matanzas. Block-
ade duty is very dull work, and the of-
ficers have fancy names for it, such as
“treading the cinder path.”
An idea of the equipment Gomez’s
army may be gained from looking at his
officers and men who were towed into
port the other day in a little sail boat by
the tug Uncas, which picked them up off
Cardenas. Their boat had been captured
from the Spaniards and converted into a
dispatch 'boat. Some of the men were
barefooted, some wore canvass clothes
that had been patched with cloth that
did not match, and all were hungry-look-
ing, shaggy and unkempt.
Hardly a day passes now without the
arrival of one or more messengers from
Cuba. The Cuban scouts go into Havana,
Santiago, Cardenas and Matanzas. They
slip away from the most carefully
watched coast and row out to our ships.
A Cuban in Key West wished to send a
parcel to his cousin who is operating with
a small band of Insurgents close to Ha-
vana city. Today he gave the parcel to a
Cuban officer who is going to row ashore
from one of our ships at a point 100 miles
east of Havana and who will pass it on
to its destination. The messenger accept-
ed the parcel as a postman would have
taken it. Probably mesengers could be
sent into Havana city if it were neces-
sary.
Recently a cuban lieutenant carrying
dispatches, after long waiting on a key
near Cardenas, sighted a small American
war vessel, rowed out to her and asked to
be taken to Commodore Watson, who, he
said, would give him transportation to Key
West.
“No, sir, you can’t come aboard. How
do I know that you are not a Spanish
spy?” the commander of the warship said.
The lieutenant, who spoke English very
well, expostulated and argued, but all in
vain. He was compelled to row ashore
and wait until the next day, When another
warship hove in sight. Her captain knew
him and got him passage to Key West.
The six envoys from Gomez had a stuffy
little cabin on their boat which was about
15 feet long. They had a rude cooking
apparatus in which they roasted sweet
potatoes. Their provisions were a bag of
sweet potatoes and a large bottle of fresh
water that (must have got very warm on
their voyage. They had a few sticks of
wood to cook with. When they arrived
here they were taken In charge by the
local junta and quartered in rooms over
the El Polaco restaurant. Here all the
Cuban couriers and spies make their head-
quarters while in Key West. The rooms
are small and hot and the beds do not
look very inviting.
After a man has been sleeping in the
bush a few months this place, with white
sheets on the beds, seems like the Wal-
dorf to us. One of the Cuban messengers
said to a reporter:
“The Cuban couriers complain of the
heat here and say that the hills in Cuba
are much cooler. Every one who has
been in Cuba says that there are no places
in that island that compare with Tampa
and Key West for heat.”
The commission of the Y. M. C. A. has
opened headquarters near the naval store
for the express benefit of sailors and
marines and are giving away tracts and
testaments. ‘‘The commission’s rooms are
pointed out by the army officers, but are
not thronged by men from the ships, who
find entertainment elsewhere. The well
known fondness of the bluejackets when
ashore for all methods of travel except
walking crops out even here, where the
coral roads are rough and dusty. Riding
out In carriages driven by Cubans is ex-
pensive and alluring, to Jack, and bicycle
riding is also a favorite sport. There are
no stables who hire horses here, else the
sailors would undoubtedly turn eques-
trians and gallop about the little island.
The colored bootblacks are well patron-
ized by the men of war’s men, who take
great satisfaction in gruffly instructing
the boys how to shine shoes. The saloons
which bid for the sailors’ patronage are
as tough and ill smelling as any on the
New York Bowery, and get a good deal of
money out of poor Jack. Some of the
sailors Who have shore leave over night
are either without means to hire a room
when it is time to turn In, or else consider
such expenditure needless. These gather
about the base of the soldiers’ monument
in a triangle opposite the naval stores or
sleep on the grass. It is the monument
that draws them there, not the grass,
which is foul with coal dust.
The disorders in Key West last month
which gve so much pain to the English
correspondents were due to Col. Hunting-
ton’s marines who have just-been fight-
ing so valiantly at Guantanamo. These
marines had been cooped up on the Pan-
ther for several months, and when they
went into a hot camp ashore were rest-
less. When they had leave at night they
used to go about shouting “Remember the
Maine” and making profane and abusive
remarks about Spain. They were crazy
to be let loose, and fought like tigers. The
marines are always willing to furnish the
news to reporters. If the newsgatherer
will only give him a tip as to the sort of
matter wanted, the response Will be
prompt. Some “exclusive” reports of bat-
tles and bombardments printed in New
York papers were obtained by interview-
ing the sailors. The officers of incoming
ships generally tell the reporters what has
happened on the cruise, but often the
voyage has been uneventful, in which case
a reporter can get “exclusive” news from
the sailors.
Ex-Mayor Monzavatge, who served two
terms as mayor when the city was larger
than it is now, having then 24,000 inhab-
itants, says that during one year only one
Cuban was brought before him as police
magistrate to answer for drunkenness. In
the parts of the city inhabited entirely
by Cubans, there are no saloons at ai-

Palo Pinto Water Free.
Palo Pinto water is no longer a stranger
to the most of Galveston’s residents. Its
merits are well known. We do not ad-
vertise private testimonials. Note what
the profession of Galveston have to say
regarding the famous Pal-Pinto waters:
Having used Pal-Pinto Water and Salts
extensively in my practice for several
years, it gives me pleasure to commend
them highly in many disorders of the
gastro-intestinal canal, where a mild and
pleasantly acting alkaline saline laxative
is required. H. A. WEST, M. D.
Pal-Pinto Water is all that could be de-
sired in a mineral water, the uses of
which are limited to unloading the stom-
ach and bowels of impurities and promot-
ing natural secretions.
A. W. FLY, M. D.
I have used Pal-Pinto Waters and Salts
and take pleasure in recommending same
as a mild and effective laxative.
F. K. FISHER, M. D.
I have found Pal-Pinto Water an ex-
cellent laxative.
CLARENCE WARFIELD, M. D.
County Physician.
I cqnsider the Mineral Wells of Palo-
Pinto county, Texas, the Carlsbad of
America. GEO. H. LEE, M. D.
In regard to the Pal-Pinto Natural Wa-
ter I deem it very efficacious water,- su-
perior to Hunyadi Water.
A. F. SAMPSON, M. D.
Sir: I consider Pal-Pinto Water |a
splendid remedy for cleansing the system
of blood impurities, for jnany of the
lighter gastric disorders, for rheumatic
conditions and for renal insufficiency.
For such I have prescribed it for many
years, and must say that the more I em-
ploy it the better I like its effects. Pal-
Pinto is the Carlsbad of Texas, and our
people should be proud of its possession.
I regard it a duty to extoll its virtues.
C. H. WILKINSON, M. D.
I have prescribed Pal-Pinto Water in
many cases, and am pleased to add my
testimony in its favor. For blood im-
purities, rheumatic affections and the
like, as well as for indigestion and dis-
eases of the kidneys, I consider it equal
to any mineral water in the United
States. C. L. GWYN, M. D.
Pal-Pinto Water is surely a fine remedy
in blood impurities and for the complex-
ion. As a spring remedy I know of noth-
ing better. OSCAR PABST, M. D.
Dr. James E. Thompson, professor of
surgery, Medical Department University
of Texas, allows us to refer to him as an
advocate of the virtues of the Pal-Pinto
Salt and Water.
I have for some time been prescribing
your Pal-Pinto Water in cases where an
efficient saline was indicated, and I have
no hesitancy in saying that it has met
such indications to my entire satisfac-
tion. It is equally as good as Hunyadi,
Apenta and other expensive mineral wa-
ters, and much cheaper; in easy reach of
all those unable to buy more expensive
waters. W. C. FISHER, M. D.
I have observed the beneficial effects of
your Pal-Pinto Water in numerous cases
requiring a gentle laxative, and do not
hesitate to recommend it for such pur-
pose to my patients.
J. E. BURK, M. D.
I have tried your Mineral Wells water
and have derived great satisfaction from
its use. I believe this water will yield
fine results In appropriate cases of gastro-
intestinal troubles.
GEO. P. HALL, M. D.
I have frequently prescribed, and per-
sonally used Pal-Pinto Water, and find it
an efficient and pleasant laxative.
W. H. BALDINGER. M. D.
Your enterprise in regard to Pal-Pinto
Water and Salts should be pushed along
for it is a good thing. I drank the water
last summer with much benefit. I pre-
scribe it in stomach affections and liver
troubles, and keep my patients at it. You
may refer to me as to Its good effects
whenever you desire.
