WAS SUMMARY.
The Events of the Past Week on Lead and
Sea Boiled Down.
MONDAY, AUGUST 8.
All signs point that the war is
virtually over. Generally Shafter’s
army is leaving for home. General
Whedler and the Rough Riders are
en route. General Miles is picking
up cities in Porto Rico as be ad-
vances on Ssn Juan.
Regardless of peace, troops are
being dispatched to Porto Rico.
Dewey says that Manila was at
his mercy the day after the naval
battle, but he would have had noth-
ing to feed prisoners, or troops to
hold them.
Our country may hold the Phil-
ippines. A commission will be ap-
pointed to determine.
General Blanco has about given
up hope and is getting ready to
leave Havana.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 9.
It is estimated that the war will
cost us one billion dollars. Span-
ish prisoners are leaving Santiago
for home. There was a big fight at
Manila. The Spaniards attempted
to turn our right. . After three
hours’ fighting they met a bloody
repulse. Our loss was nine killed
and forty-four wounded. The
Spanish loss was upwards of 200
killed and 300 wounded.
Spain’s reply to America’s terms
of peace has been received at last.
Generally speaking k is reported to
be an acceptance in all vital reapects.
The army of General Sbafter is
leaving Santiago for New York as
fast as possible. «
There is nothing definite from
Porto Rico only that General Miles
is closing in on San Juan.
President McKinley is said to
have become an enthusiastic impe-
rialist and to want Spain to give up
the islands of Porto Rico, Luzon
and one of the Ladrones and to have
the annexation of Cuba at an ulte-
rior plan.
There seems to be a general row
pending over the manner in which
the Santiago campaign was con-
ducted. According to the report
of surgeons they were handicapped
and ignored by the military powers.
A late Washington dispatch says
from inquiries which reach the war
- department it it evident that a wide-
spread impression prevails that a
rapid disbandment of the volunteers
will follow the close of hostilities.
Tbit is not well founded. There is
no probability that a single organiza-
wiil be mustered out before winter.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST lO.
That was quite a big battle at
Manila. The Spaniards attacked at
night while a typhoon was raging.
They were badly repulsed and the
slaughter was terrific. The battle
raged tor over four hours. - It was a
great victory for our troops. Miles
wires that he needs no more troops
for Porto Rico. Spain's reply has
been received, but it is not given
out. It is understood to be a quali-
fied acceptance of our terms.
Disease is bolding high carnival
at Santiago. Over 300 new cases
are reported daily.
Spanish troops at Santiago are
embarking for Spain. They are in
a’terrible plight.
A World special says that Gomez
intends to operate against the Span-
iards independently and that he will
disregard any armistice which is
proclaimed.
Hobson paid Cervera a visit.
The meeting was very affecting.
They embraced each other.
Captain Sigsbee has been assign-
ed to the command of the battleship
Texas to succeed Philip, who is to
be made a commodore.
The following are the four prop-
ositions of peace that America will
not budge from: 1st, Spain must
withdraw from Cuba; zd, cede
Porto Rico; 3d, to cede one of the
Ladrones; 4th, to appoint a com-
mission to decide on the future of
the Philippines.
It is said that the 2d Texas will
go to Porto Rico.
THURSDAY, AUGUST It.
It looks as if peace was assured,
but the matter is not a foregone
conclusion. There may be a diplo-
matic hitch at the last moment, the
Dons are shifty and tricky. Japan
wants the Philippines it America
refuses them. Japan offers to sup-
ply the rebels with arms and am-
munition and other things.
If Spam does not cqrae to terms
at once, a fleet oPwarships will be
sent to the Canary islands which
will be seized, and from that point
the coast of Spain will be ravaged.
In case of peace the fleet will go to
Manila ready t*» meet any emer
gency.
The city of Coamo, Porto Rico
was captured after five hours of
fighting, in which seven Americans
were wounded; Spaniards had
twelve killed and three wounded;
aoo prisoners were taken by the
Americans.
It ia expected that within theqpres
ent month Shatter’* entire army
will have left Santiago. Sickoeat
there is as bad as ever.
General Breckenridge reviewed
40,000 troops at Chicamauga. It
was a grand sight.
Reports from Manila confirm the
news of the terrible Spanish defeat
in their attack on our entrench-
ments. The long expected monitor
Merrimac has arrived at Manila.
Much relief is felt by Admiral Dew
ey and General Merritt and there is
intense enthusiasm throughout the
fleet and among the troops. The
capture of Manila i« *»nw only a
question of a tpw days, necessary
to land the troops of a third expedi-
tion.
The Denison Rifles at Fort Mor-
gan, Ala., are greatly dissatisfied,
and declare that their situation la
not much better than at the mos-
quito hole, Rigolette. The sand is
knes deep end chiggers and mos-
quitos are in abundance. Lieuten-
ant Lane of the Stanley Rangers is
ill at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 12.
The war it virtually over. Spain
has approved the protocol, which
provides for an immediate supension
of hostilities.
Gen. Miles’ army it still advanc-
ing on the Isle of Porto Rico in the
direction of San Juan.
Carlists are reported active in
Spain.
Our troops are getting out of
Santiago as fast as possible.
No more troops are to be sent to
Porto Rico. Men at Jacksonville
will be kept there until fail and then
go to Cuba under Lee as an army of
occupation.
The president has recommended
naval advancements, which would
place Sampson ahead of Schley,
making both rear admirals.
A double leaded dispatch from
Paris says Spain thinks of selling
the Philippines. It is suggested
that the United States buy them and
end the complication.
Congress ia going to investigate
the excessive prices paid for war
materials.
Regiments of immunes are going
to Santiago.
A Hongkong dispatch says the
Philippine junta called on Consul
General Wildman and declared that
their only desire is annexation.
The junta says Aguinaldo has
kept every promise since be left
Hongkong, and that his life t.nd the
life of his men are always at the
command of Gen. Merritt and Ad-
miral Dewey.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 13.
The war is over; peace is declar-
ed. President McKinley issues s
proclamation to that effect. The
peace protocol in behalf of Spain
was signed by Cambon, the French
minister. Generals Sbafter, Miles
and Merritt were immediately noti-
fied, and also Sampson, Dewey and
other naval commanders. The
peace protocol provides:
1st. That Spain relinquish all
claim and sovereignty over the title
to Cuba.
2d. That Porto Rico and all
Spanish islands in the West Indies,
and one island in the Ladrones, to
be selected by the United States,
shall be ceded to the Utter.
3d. The United States will oc-
cupy and hold the city, bay and
harbor of Manila, pending the con-
clusion of a treaty of peace, which
shall determine the control, disposi-
tion and government of the Philip-
pines.
4th. That Cuba, Porto Rico and
other Spanish islands in the West
.ndies shall be immediately evacu-
ated, and that commissioners be ap-
pointed within ten days, and shall
within thirty days from the signing
of the protocol meet at Havana, or
San Juan, Porto Rico, to execute

In August, 1878, the city coun-
cil fixed the tax assessor’s commis-
sion at one per cent, and the tress
urer’s salary at $as per month__
Fox & Murphy purchased “Our

The News spoke of these gentlemen
ss enterprising “young men.”_
In the summer ot 1878 the scholastic
census of Dallas amounted to only
786, and Denison was only 5a be
hind those figures. Dallas at that ]
date claimed nearly double the pop-
ulation of Denison__The News
of August 7 contained the follow-
ing: “Married, at St. Luke’s
Episcopal church, at 9 p. 1
At Clarendon, Ark., fiva negroes
were lynched by a mob. It ia
charged that John T. Orr, a wealthy
merchant at Clarendon, was mur-
dered at the instance of bis wife
who was after large insurance mon-
ey. The wife suicided by taking
poison. The dispatch says four
bodies, two woman and two men,
are hanging from the limb of a tree
and a few paces away dangles the
body of another negro woman, the
former cook in the Orr household.
Miss Morris, the Jewess implicated
in the assassination, was not banged,
she having sudddnly disappeared.
The lynched are: Manse Castle,
Dennis Ricord. Rills Weaver, Susie
Jacobs, Will Sanders.
Last Saturday night John T. Orr
was assassinat'd whila making a
glass of lemonade. He had just re-
turned from choir practice where bis
wife was organist. The crime was
shrouded in mystery until Miss Mor-
ris told somebody she knew who
fired the shot. A coronor’s inquest
resulted in the arrest of five negroes
and Mrs. Orr and a warrant for
Miss Mortis. It n charged that the
wife hired the negroes to do the
murder. Orr's life was insured for
$5000 and it developed at the in-
quest that Orr and his wife lived un-
happily. Mr. Orr was formerly a
theatrical mao. In 1890 the couple
eloped to a summer resort in Wis-
consin and were married. Laier
they settled in Clarendon where Mr.
Orr prospered in business and was
considered wealthy at the time of
his death. •

Tom Hoffman Sukndas.
The Kansas City Star of a recent date
contained the particular* of the suicide
of Thos, W. Hoffman in a hotel bv mor-
phine. In pioneer days Tom Hoffman
was a picturesque figure in Denison bus-
iness circles. He was a bookkeeper, in-
surance and real estate agent. He was a
high roller and while a citizen of Denison
led a tempestuous life. In the seventies
when Denison was the ideal border town
ot the southwest, Hoffman was a potent
factor in passing events. It is hard to
conceive of any scheme of a boom nature
that Hoffman was not mixed up with.
Hoff.nan lost his grip here and left Den-
ison in 1882. He was born at ML Stir-
ling, Ky., and was a boy companion of
CoT. J. D. Yocom. At the time of death
he was about <2 years of age. He left a
wife and family. Business entanglements
and the horrors of Bright’s Disease pre-
cipitated the catastrophe.

this section that they will buy all the
wheat they raise, and will pay top notch
price*. In view of this fact the acreage
of wheat is certain to be much larger than
uaual. Mr. S, J. Vance is delegated as

Denison property bolder by pur-
chasing through the A. R. Collins
agency three residence lots on the
corner of Morgan street and Arm-
strong avenue--In Kansas, ear-
in August, 1878, wheat was
quoted at 50 cents a bushel, oats at
i1! cents and corn at 10 cents. The
wheat crop of the state was estimat-
ed at 25,000,000_Friday after-
noon, Aug. 9, 1878, Dr. Jones, ot
Caddo, I. T., was assassinated at
the Caddo depot by Will Stewart,
who shot him in the neck with a
shotgun, severing tbe jugular vein.
He wa* an old and respected citizen
and left a wife and several children.
Olin Wellborn was nominated for
congress from this district by the
convention at Fort Worth on the
thirty-fourth ballot. Silas Hare
was second in the race, closely
crowding Wellborn many ballots.
Piner and Ball were the other as-
pirants. _
The Sunday school children of
Texas are solicited to contribute a
nickel or a dime each with 'which
to purchase Capt. Philips of the
Texas a bible and sword, as a rec-
ognition of hia remarkable piety and
superior fighting qualities, We
call to mind that when a boy Sun-
day school books represented
Mohammed marching to victory
with a drawn sword in one hand and
the Koran in tbe other, and woe to
the people who did not accept the
latter. It must be con (eased that
this method of making converts was
eminently successful. Buying swords
doesn’t appear to exactly harmonize
with the Christian maxim, Resist
not evil, and if it ia really true that
they that take tbe aword shall perish
with the sword, the result would be
unpleasant for the captain. How-
ever, the Prince of Peace has also
informed us he came not to bring
peace but a sword, and as his fol-
lowers have in practice construed
this to include themselves also, it is
taken for granted this proposed
Sunday school presentation is all
right, viewed from a religious stand-
point. _
For attempted rape upon the per-
son of a white girl, a negro was
taken out of the jail at Palestine an<
hung by a mob.
day for a most atrocious murder,
escaped from the Cleburne jail last
Monday night. Tim Morgan, tbe
guard, took off his cost, vest and
pants, the night being hot, and laid
down on a cot near the cell, falling
asleep. Shaw rolled up a copy of
the Dallas News and made a tele-
scope out of it, on the end of which
be attached a hook made of wire.
With this he drew the pants to his
cell and secured tbe key to the cell
door which was ia one of the pock-
ets. By some means he broke tbe
ear to the lock that fastened tbe
chain to bis leg. Then he unlock-
ed the door and walked off. His
absence was not discovered until
morning. One thousand dollars
reward is offered for his capture,
but up to date no trace of him has
been found. He left a note in. tbe
cell saying that he wat going to
change boarding houses, and that
the sheriff would not have the pleas-
ure of hanging him the next Friday.
Dr. R. M. Swearingen, state
hesl’h officer, died from Bright's
disease at hia home in Austin last
Sunday. Before he was buried the
friends of Dr. Blunt, of Lockhart,
who has been acting as assistant
health officer, were already at work
to secure his appointment. Gov.
Culberson was greatly annoyed by
the disgraceful haste with which
aspirants and their friends have be-
sieged him for recognition. It is
certainly showing little regard for
the dead.
The leading cigar is “Queen

After an unprecedented campaign
D. H. (“Dug”) Johnston has been
elected governor of tbe Chickasaw
Nation.
Tbe result of tbe vote is as fol-
lows: Pontotoc county, Johnston
67, H. H. Burris 31; Panola county,
Johnston 51, Burns to; Pickens
county, Johnston 71, Burnt 14;
Tishomingo county, Johnston 67,
Burris 57: Johnston’s majority 144.
None but Cbickasawsby blood were
allowed to vote in this election,
which accounts for tbe small vote.
D. H. Johnston telephoned to
friends in this city that bis majority
was 135, but later returns swell it.
Thera are but four eouabes ia the
Chickasaw Nation.
This ia tbe largest vote that has
been cast in years.
Tba successful candidate ie well
known ia Denison,, having boon a
constant visitor for tbe peat twelve
years. Hr was superintendent of
the Bloomfield Academy. “Dog”
oh Baton, as bis friends like to cell
lino, is one of tbe most influential
and progressive citizens of tbe
Chickasaw Nation. He is the seal
of hoeor, whose private sod public
character is above reproach. If
there ever was an honest man, that
man is governor-elect Johnston. He
may not be versed in statocrett, bat
bis robust good common sense will
carry him through all right in the
discharge of his official dories. He
has been one of tbe very best tneeds
that Denison ever had. His bosi-
ness relations has been worth thous-
ands of dollars to our merchants.
He was always a liberal buyer and
distributed bis favors squally among
all.
While at tbe Bloomfieid Academy I
hie kindness and hospitality was pro-
verbial. How much his neighbors
loved him is shown by their large
support in Panola county.
Mr. Johnston's election is the
culmination of a long ambition;
that be will rule his people wisely
and well no one will tor a moment
doubt who knows tbe man.
Tbe Gazetteer extends con-
gratulations to Governor-elect Johns-
ton.

sister town, Colbert: For

our
Tbe re-election of Governor Me-
Curtain of the Choctaw nation it
assured. The defeat of his most
formidable opponent, Wilson Jones,
was « consummation devoutly to he
wished. Jones stood for the old
order of things, the continuance of
tribal relations, etc. McCurtain is
progressive, an enlightened states-
man, tbe brainest man in the Choc-
taw nation, and his defeat by a man
of Wilson Jones’ calibre would have
been a national calamity. It would
be better tor tbe people of the Choc
taw nation if they would continue
the governor in power for the next
eight years.
Isn’t it just a little peculiar that
