STEAL THE VESUVIUS
Daring Project Of Cuban Sympa-
pathizers Disclosed.
THE PLAN IS DENOUNCED
Scheme Was to Man Her With a Picked
Crew and Enter the Harbor
of Havana.

Philadelphia, Aug. 1.-The Evening
Bulletin today has the following:
At secret meeting of Cuban SYM
pathizers in this city last night a dar-
ing project was revealed. 1t was moth
ing less than plan to steal the dyna-
mite cruiser Vesuvius from the League
island navy yaru, man her with a
picked crew and send her to Havana to
lay Mora castle in ruins and seal the
fate of the Spanish dominion in the
gem of the Antilles. The scheme caused
a great deal of excitement. The more
conservative Cuban-Americans de-
nounced it and it's projectors and
warned those present not to allow
themselves to countenance the idea, as
it would only tend to wean the sympa-
thizers of the men from the insurgents
cause.
An enthusiastic advocate of Cuban
independence said today; IF the naval
officers do not look out the Vesuvius
will be missing some morning from her
mornings at League island. Within a
week a man who has STROBE the deck
of many a vessel, who cares much for
gold, and who has risked his life to
obtain it dozens of times, made the fol-
lowing proposition to certain people:
Give me 100000 and l will steal the
Vesuvius, run into Havana harbor and
in 10 minutes lay Mora castle in heap
of ruins

The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1895-04-13

Steele Ozone: The Valley City
Times Record of last week contained a
column editorial on the vetoes, and
spoke up manfully for the logic of
Governor Allin actions. The editor
says, among other things:
When the first legislative Assem- bly,
convened it was evident to those legis-
lators from the counties where public
institutions had been located that they
were needed at once, with the result
that we have university, two norma
schools and an agricultural college,
with a combined attendance less than
600, soldiers home with 20 inmates,
and deaf school with about the same.
The cost of maintaining these institu-
tions ranges from SO per month to $40
per week per student or inmate. The
State could easily have paid their tut
tion or keeping somewhere out of the
State and save money.
For paper printed in town where
there is a State institution, the Times
Record is an admirable example of
frankncss.
The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1895-04-13

THE following from The North
Dakota Independent we wish to d.
rect the special attention of the Grand
Forks Plaindealer to:
"We scarcely appreciate some Of the
criticisms INDUCED in toward Govern
or Allin for his vetoes. Much of it is
ungentlemanly and undignified as re-
ferring t" the Governor of our State.
and nearly all of it is unfair. We
cannot say that we approve Of all that
Governor Allin has done in his vetoes,
but we do most assurcdly give him
credit for honest and upright motives
and for courage that is commendable
under the circumstances. His vetoes
were prompted by an honest solicitude
for the welfare of the State and de-
sire to place the State beyond financial
embarrassment. And while it is the
prerogative of every citizen to criticise
the Governors actions, such criticisms,
when directed to Governor Allin,
should be respectful at least, for his
integrity is unquestioned and his Office
entities him to respect. Criticise the
Governor as freely y yotl choose, but
- manly ma m & n 4
The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1895-04-13

some one should give Baby Carruth,
of the Grand Forks Plaindealer, a
stick of taffy with "U' imbedded in
the center to induce him to stop his
bahyish whine because Gov. Allin
chopped off some of the appropriation
for the University. Does the kid
imagine that the city of Grand Forks
is bigger or better than the balance
of the State, or that the credit of the
State should be kept in the column
put there by his populistic chums,
to the detriment of the taxpayers Of
the balance of this commonwealth?
Spank the kid and put him to bed
