It is clear that business is meant
at Santiago and while the grand
battle is probably several days or
a week off minor engagements
may be expected almost daily.
One occurred Friday that was fcr
tho time sharp and sanguinary.
A dispatch from the Associated
r-BS says :
'This morniug (Friday) lour
troops of the First Cavalry and
eight troops of Roosevelt's Rouh
Riders, less than a thousand men,
dismounted and attacked 2,000
Spanish soldiers in the thickets
within 5 miles of Santiago de Cuba-
The Americans beat the enemy
back into the city, but they left
the following dead upon the field:
Rough Riders Capt. Allyn K
Capron, of Troop L; Sergeant
Hamilton Fish, Jr ; Priyates Till
man and Dawson, both of Troop
L; Private Dougherty, of Troop
' A.; Private W T Erwin, ot Troop
F. First Cavalry Privates Dix
York, Bojork, Kolbe, Berlin and
Lcnmock. Tenth Cavalry Cor
poral White. At least 50 Ameri
cans were wounded, including six
officers. Soveral of the wounded
will die.
Twelve dead Spaniards were
foirnd in the bush after the
fight, but their loss was doubt
Jess far in excess of that.
The Americans dow hold the
position at the threshhold of
Santiago de Cuba, with more
troops goiDg forward con
stantly and they are prepare
ing for a final assault upon
the city."
Through Hag of truce inter
course it is learned that Lieu
tenant Hobson and ti? men
are in the city safe. Morro
Castle is therefore not pro
tected by their presence and it
need be no surprise if Samp
son tnes its strength very
soon. The probability is that
if Morro can be reduced and
the Merrimac is not too much
in the way Admiral Sampson
will thrust in some of his war
vessels to engage Ceivera's
fleet and draw the fire from
our soldieis.
There U IjO loitt ring to rest,
it seemp, but Gen. Shifter i
pressing on as fast it seems a?
the quaitermaster and the ord
nance depaitments can follow.
As the Spaniards hare re
treated they hav. bfen de
stroying block homes and vil
lager, but at Juraga Gen. Li
nares "with 1,2(0 men were
driven out in such haste that
the town was spired from the
flames.
It is now said that Gen.
Miles v. ill procet d in person
and will take command at
Santiago.
Camara'j fleet is t-aid to
have been sighted in the Med
iterranean Sea, with the ap
pearauca of heading for the
Suez Canal and; the Philip
pines. This Rives little un
easiness to the government, as
it is felt that Dewey will be
master of the situation How
)ver, it is entirely probable
that when the Santiago matter
is closed a ileet will be sent
to Spain to destroy the corns
merce and even bom' ard the
ports of Spain. The govern
ment now feels that it will
take some hard knocks to
bring Spain to terms.

Tbe scorer seltcted was Mr. Frank

The game was good, though Dot

''rooters" were assembled on the
grand stand, but thtir conduct in
tbe game was exceptionally good.

The s't-mp taxes proeided in the
war revenue bill will go into tHoCt
July 1, and it would be well for
everybody to become familiar with
them bt fore that time, as penalties
are provided for failure to affix tbe
proper stamp to papers and docu
ments which are to be taxed under
the new law.
Let it be remembered that each
bank check or draft must ber a
stamp. So must every bill of lading
mortgages, conveyance?, leases, pow-
e s of attorney, warehouse receipt?
eiegrnpn messages and x press
packages. Jn every case tbe stamp
must be tiflixed and the person affix
ng it must cancel it by writing
arroes its face bis initials and the
e. The tax act provide that if
any inslrua.ent or document tpecified
Kd er.bj 'Ct to a tax stamp is left un-
s'smped "with intent to evade tbe
provisions of this act,'' the offender
shall be deemed guilty of a ni if de
meanor, ard upon conviction, shall
be'0ned not exceeding $50, or im
prisoned not excudirtg eix months,
or both.
It will bo difficult to prove tbat
thj ttunip was left off with inten
' i n to evade the law, but failure to
-fill the s amp will in many caees
lead to antoyance by the authorities,
nd may involve costs in a United
S utcs commissioner's court.
Another provision cf the law is
that "such instrument, document or
paper not being stamp d according
to law shall be der mod invalid and
of no effect."
Ibis provision is especially im
portant in real estate transactions,
A deed to real es'ate for which the
consideration exceeds $100 and does
oot exceed $500 mutt bear a 50 cent
stump, and there must be a similar
stamp for each additional $500
The failure to dllx the prop?r
number of stamps will invalidate
the deed .
Each promissory nolo for nicro
than $100 must beir. a 50 cent
stamp, and without it there might
b? some d.fliculty in collection.
The government hns wisely given
tho people towitks in which to
become fumi:iar with tie various
provisions of the tax ac', and by
July 1st every intelligent citizen
ought to know ;'uet vilmt is rf quired

The series of games between tlu
bate ball teams of Concord and
Greensboro end. d Thuraday evening,
Concord bavinjj woi loih vic
tories. The game Thurs !ay evening was
much better for the reason that not
so many runs were made, and occas
sionaily neither team would score
in ai inning.
Mr. K ates, of Greensboro, was
selected as umpire with Mr. Wil
liamson Morris assistant. The bat
tery for the opposing team wa Tate
aud Crutcbfield, while Joe Fieher
and Dolph Mamum did our pitch
ing and Oldham caught behind the
bat.
Some excellent plajs were made
by both teams, but there was not a
home r..n or 'over-the fence" bit
made, Joe Fisher struck out 3 mou
and Mangutn also struck out 3, while
Tate, their sole pitcher for the game,
only struck out 3.
At the beiuninj of tbe last half
of tbe ninth iuning, Concord's score
stood 7 to 0, but by some means
Greensloro gotons run. This last
inning was more inter. eting than
any part of the Rams, This was the

Tne boys returned to Greensboro
ou No. 38 that night. We must
say, as it 's nothing more than just,
that Greensboro certainly sent a
nice crowd of young men in tl eir
baseball team. We don't think that
there was an enemy made by the
game and all seemed to be conserya-
tive as to the game. The fact tha'
Concord beat them playing ball did
not cause them to be lowered in
anyone's estimation, and our boys
became somewhat attached to some
of them during tbe two days' stay.

Late Thursday evening Rti'road
Sup rvisor HiuJtrlite brought word
to Coucoid that he found a dead
nsgro floating in Rocky R ver under
the railr ad bride, which ia abon
a mile an J a half on this side of
llarrieburg.
Coroner Deneon Caldwell at o ice
summoned part of his jury here an J
the crowd, which consisted of Sher
iff Buchanan, Deputy Will Props',
Jailer Hill, J L Brown, Frank Mor
rison and a Standard reporter, at
once It ft for R GKy River to Lold
the icques' .
Arriving at the place of the scene,
several citizms from Harrisburg
were waiting. The coroner then ad
ministered tbe oath to the follow
ing jury: Messrs. Frank Morrison,
J L Brown, C L Erwin, Will Propst,
Rufus A Dry and J F Alexander.
The body was found floating in
the wa'er near the bank. They at
last succeeded in getting the body
out on the bink and commenced tbe
inquest . It was found to be the
body of a large negro, looking to be
about 35 years of age. Bis right
leg was broken both above and be
low the kcee from his fall. The
back of bis head was burstcd open,
and one eye was completely knocked
out. Ihe skull over the eve was
also broken. He was a wd! devel
oped negro. He wore a small
checked shirt with separate cuds
witlt link cuff buttons had on no
vest, but wore a nice pair of shoes
with pecadilla toes. He has two
very large upper teeth and are to
erably wide apart.
Beverai tnings, sucn as a pnrs",
empty pocket book, match safe,
smoking tobacco, collar, handkers
chief, fo.ir. in-hand tie, pip, etc.,
were found in hie pockets, aho two
photographs of colored women, but
nothing could be found on his per
son that would help to identify him.
Sheriff. Buchanan has the two pho
tographs and will try and find some
thing out by them if poasib'e.
The jury, after examining bim
thoroughly, made out their formal
report, stating that they euppoaed
tbat he came to his death either by
falling off of the train or by being
knocked off by an engine. The re
port was signed up at 11 30 that
flight. The body was tolerably
badly decomposed, making it very
offensive for holding an inquest.
As a ccflin could not be obtained
yet that night, the body was left
lying on tbe bank .
There is, of course, different sup
positions as to bow be was killed.
It is probib'e tbat he was killed by
standing on the steps of the moving
train and was looking towards tbe
rear of tbe train when he was struck
by tbe side frames of tbe bridge.
It is very probable that his body
had been in the water at least
three days.
The body was buried on the river
bank this (Friday) morning at the
expense ot the county, il n'e a
number of our people conjecture
that the negro was Knocked from
the excursion train on Monday
night. The excuraion was from
Winston to Charlotte. When they
left Charlotte tbat night the train
was very much crowded, soma hang

and the others not hare kuown it.
