Editor Telegram: Having observed a tendency in many of the newspapers to greatly be little Hon. C. A. Cook, an aspirant for the position of brigadier general in the volunteer army, I deem it but just and generous that the man Should have his deserts. I am a democrat. He is a republi can. If President McKinley sees proper to appoint to this position a man whom he thinks by nature fitted for the re sponsibility, 'though not a West Pointer, or who was not old enough to have served in the late war, he might go far before finding a better appointee than Mr. Cook. I have the pleasure of knowing him. He is, primarily, a geatleman, cour teous, manly. He is a lawyer of well known and unquestionable ability. He is thoroughly cultured a .gradu ate of Princeton University. No man, be he democrat, populist, or republican, can dare gainsay the the sterling integrity of "Charlie Cook." He is the son of honor. Above all, he is, under all circum stances, morally and physically cour ageous. Possessing, as he does, these many qualifications necessary for a success ful commanding officer, it strikes me as hardly fair to belittle the man for his patriotic aspirations. If it be thought imperative that none but West Pointers or veterans be ap pointed to command then criticise the president, don't ridicule or malign the aspirant. But if a nation -should decree that none should command who had not seen previous actual service.might she not at tbe same time be fittingly likened to the fond mother who forbade her son to go near the water until he had learned to swim? Mr. Cook needs no flattering enco- niums: but does not merit being placed in thecatagory of "pie-hunting, cross roads politicians." Fairminded Democrat. Greensboro, June 29. Mr. P. Ketchman of Pike City, Cal., says: "During my brothers late sick ness from sciatic rheumatism. Cham berlain's Pain Balm was the only remedy that gave him any relief." Many others have testified to the prompt relief from pain which this liniment affords.-For sale by C. E. Holton. v m SHARER'S PLAN OF ATTACK Will Take Santiago by Siege In- stead of by Assault, ENEMY STRONGLY ENTRENCHED Health of. the Army Excellent And City Can Be Taken In Two Days. Burial of Rough Riders. By Cable to Thk Tklbgram. Play a del Este, June 29 News has reached the Cuban headquarters and has since been communicated by Gen. Castillo to Gen. Shafter that the Span iards are strongly entrenched at Santa Ursula and Lagunas. Both places are important entrances to the city of San tiago. Two batteries of heavy artil lery have been erected, including guns landed from the Spanish cruisers in the harbor. The batteries are sup ported by a force of 6,000 men. The Cuban outposts have erected a strong fortress and have strengthened the other defences. General Shafter has issued rigid or ders to his troops not to engage the Spaniards unnecessarily, his object being to keep troops strong for a de cisive attack later. It is known that the Spaniards are preparing to make a desperate resistance. METHOD OF ATTACK ON CITY. Washington, June 29 Although there is nothing in the plans of the administration upon which to base a belief that S ant ; ago will be attacked within a few days yet there is a gen eral feeling prevalent among the offi cials that the news of a battle, similar to the one fought last week, will be forthcoming. This opinion has found ation in the fact that General Joe Wheeler's division has moved up to a point within rifle shot of the Spanish outpost surrounding the capital. Some anxiety is felt in regard to the Span ish reinforcements under General Padno. The subjugation of Santiago will not be brought about by storming the earthworks, which are military methods used half a century ago but by the latest methods of modern war fare. Great use will be made of Gen eral Shafter's big guns, which have been landed from the transports, to reduce the defenses of Santiago. As these guns will create havoc among the Spaniards without causing a great loss of life it is believed that this method will ultimately be adopted. WOUNDED DOING WELL. Washington, June 29 Major Gen eral Shafter cables the war depart ment that the health of the army un der his command is remarkably good. No deaths have occurred among those wounded in the battle at La Quasina. The graves of the dead, General Shafter states, have been so marked as to make their identification sure. ROUGH RIDERS BURIED.

WhatDoes the K" Mean? , A Telegram reporter was called in to Hiatt & Lamb's store today to solve the mysteries of an egg which they have on exhibition. It is a chicken egg, height inches around the long way by six and one-half inches around the middle. On the small end is the letter "k" and the k seems to be causing the trouble. Old farmers have already begun to come in and tell that they or their mothers or one of their neighbors had a hen which just before the last war laid an egg something less than a foot in diameter with a W' on one end. Of course that "W" brought on the war and now they say this K means that when the war is over we will have a King. Those who cannot swallow this solu tion are permitted to consider it a a Spanish egg and that the "K" mearis that Spain will soon be with out a king. Solutions left at Hiatt & Lamb's store between 8 o'clock a. m. and 6 p. m. will receive their prompt and careful attention. Fifty Thousand Dollar Fire. By Wire to Thk Telege'am.
