{RE 13$ Owing to the outbreak of the Spanish American war, there will likely be a scarcity of binder twine this year, and prices have already ad- vanced from fifty to a hundred per cent. A large proportion of the raw material came from Manila, and as that island is now under siege, this supply is cat oil'. It is considered doubtful at present “bother there is enough stock in Canada to supply the needs of the present harvest. While a binder twine famine is threatening many districts it is satisfactory to the farmers to know that M, Weichel & Sons, orWatorloo and Elmira, have a large shook on hand, and that there is no need for alarm. They claim to be the largest dealers in binder twine in Waterloo County, and have at present stored in their warehouses at) Waterloo and Elmira twenty-two tone of lirtst, clasa twine-enough, they think, to meet the demands-lt While the contest on land has thus far been a. pretty even one, at sea. the Americans have won a signal victory by tsnnibilstingAdmiral Carvera’s fleet. TheSpanishAd niral who wasbottled up at Burtiago de Cuba. for the put six weeks made a. bold dash out of the harbour trusting to the superior speed of his vessels to escape. In this he was disappointed and every one of his ships has been sunk or destroyed and himself and crews taken prisoner, numbering in all about 1800, The Spanish ships were much inferior both in size,number and-equipment to the American fleet so no great eredit refUsts upon the Americans in defo sting them as it was a case of giant against the pigmy. Whether the Spaniards will continue the unequal warfare or not is a quest- ion. In the end they will have to re linquish Calm and the Philippines and they have no possible chance of win. ing. But Spain is a. proud and haughty nation and they may not sue for peace until the ports of Spain itself are bom- barded. The heat is intense in Cuba, the rainy season is on and the suffering of the soldiers is something frightful. On the other hand the United State have been negligent in furnishing tun. bulances and hospital supplies to prop- perly take care of the wounded and many of these will die from lack of treatment and proper attention. Harry Johnston, of Millbank, in the employ of William Freeborn, well driller, Mornington, had the tips of two of his fiugere taken off by coming A contact With the casing driver, There have been stirring times at the theatre of war in Cuba during the past week, General Shatter in com- mand of ofthe American forces near Santiago de Cuba; made a fierce attack upon the Spanish lines last Friday morning with the intention of forcing the lines' and capturing the city. The advance of the Americans was stoutly resisted, and every inch of ground was stubbornly contested. The Americans captured several important positions, but when night fell the Spanish were still in possession of the city. The American loss in Friday's battle is es- timated at 1,000 in killed and wounded and the enemy’s loss must have been equally heavy, Both armies fought with desperate , bravery and tenacity. The attack was renewed on Saturday. General Shatter sent a summons to the Spanish to capitulate, but the Spanish General in charge haughtily refused to. surrender. In the mean- time the force within the city has been reinforced by General Panda with 7,000 Spanish regulars, so that General Shatter deems the force under his com. mand inadequate to take the cxty by storm and he will wait for reinforce. ments, which cannot be got to the front until next week. . 2y"lp,'fi,tiiooi1, $1.00 per annum in advance " lino so paid, High class printing, English and German, In all its branches.

To say it was a success would not half express the feelings of satisfaction its most sanguine promoters now enjoy. A full day's amusement) had been pro- vided by those in charge, and the peo- ple of Waterloo, together with the thousands of outsiders, present trom.sll parts of the county, seemed to enjoy it immensely. Deapibe a. frowning sky and a. bill of sports served up by some very enter- prising neighbors to the south of us, before ten o'olock in the morning the principal thoroughfares were one mass of humanity. The with its Calithtutapian contingent was billed to begin at 9 oUoek in the morning, but owing to the usual delays it was impossible to get the big army moving much before ten o’clock. Starting at the old show grounds it proceeded up to William street, thence to King as far as Union ; up Union to Herbert street, down Allan to King. Then direct north to Church street,and down Albert street, thus making almost an entire circuit of the town. The parade was, perhaps,. the largest and most thoroughly representative affair of its kind ever held in Waterloo Coun- by, many of the pioneer risidents, besides those coming in from a distance, describing it the best they had ever witnessed. Everybody seemed to enter into the celebration with a zest and earnestness that did one’s heart good to see. Almost every trade and busi- ness in town had its representatives even unto the fourth estate. We could not begin to particularize on every rig in the procession bat can only refer to the Vast majority of them in a general way. The Waterloo Manufacturing Oo., which was awarded 1st prize, had without doubt the best trade represen- tation and general display. Their dis play consisted of a couple of separators and 4 waggons filled with mechanics plying their trade. drawn by two ttae- tion engines, The combined Tailors' display was good, the decorations being handsome. Their display was mounted on a 16 x 9 foot waggon, drawn by six horses, and in it was represented every detail of the making of a suit of clothes from the time it entered the shop until its completion. The tailors represented were Messrs. Ritzer, Strasser & Co., Boettinger and Berlet. The popular verdict for a real pretty turnout was with the Snyder, Boos & 00., upholv sterers. The chenille drapings were beautiful; The prize for the best bi. cyclist in costume was awarded to John Walter, disguised as a rooster.

The ceremony was performed at the residence of the bride's brother.irrlaw in the presence of intimate friends by the Rev. Jas M. Murchison, assisted by the Rev. A White of Binscarth. After spending a week with friends at Rumsll,Portage Ia Prairie and Brandon the happy couple left for the scene of their future labors at Pincher Creek on the line of the Crow’s Nest railway, about fifteen miles from the mouth of the Pass. The CHRONICLE joins with their many friends at E mira and Shakespeare in Wishing the young couple many years of happiness and p rosperity. "Bill" Scherer, he who caught) the greasy pig was also Commander-in- chief of the Cuban Army appearing in the parade. Astrong fife and drum band corps from Margaret Ava, Berlin, took part in the procession. The baseball match between the rival teams of Gait and Berlin for a purse of $75 was perhaps the leading attraction of the afternoon. Consider- ing the big stakes the teams were play- ing for, their exhibition was not up to the mark, some very rocky work be. ing done by both teams. The playing was in many stages of the game spirited and snappy and it was then the teams showed their strength. Manager Coch- rane has his Berlin aggregation well trained for the time he has had them in hand, but they are pretty green yet as was to be seen when any chance on an intricate play presented itself. The Gait team had with them men old in the gone, like Watty Thompson, Tom my Oockman, Ernie Jones, all ex- Canadian Leaguers, but they didn’t play their usual brilliant game. The game was won by Galt by 5 runs to 4. The score was as follows _ Jake Doersam, the King street to- bacconist, made a great hit with his take off on the "bombardment of Havans" Mayor Hughes, S. B.

Harry Jaffray was drowned in 1858. In September, 1895, Mr. George J. Jeffrey, editor and proprietor of the Reporter, died, in his 59th year; and just; twelve months later Willem, the elder brother, for 34 years postmaster of Berlin, passed tawny, in his 65th year. And now Richard, the whole scaled "Dick" of the old days, is no more. He, too, severe earthly ties in his 65th year. The deceased, who was born in Shrews- bury, England, entered the printing office of his father, the late Peter Jeffrey, fiity-two years ago, and he was oiiieily responsible for the editorial work on the Reporter for 25 years. He early in life posted himself on town, country, and Dominion affairs, and naturally drifted into public office. He served in the town as councillor, deputy reeve, reeve and mayor for two years, for though a Conservative, his Liberal friends in town were among his strong- est supporters, and he never was defeated at the polls. In 1883 he ber came warden of Waterloo county, and after retiring from the Council the same year he was appointed to the County Board of Audit, holding the position until the day of his death, with the exception of one year, 1897. A- GREAT ScccEss,--The public school picnic held in Mr. John Fry’s bush was a grand success.
