independence of the Island when Ruiz
arrived at the camp. But Ruiz disre-
garded the warning of Aranguren, the
order of Gomez of which he was so
we'll aware and Aranguren, the SOL

Such is the fortune of war.

states that Blanco has officially cabled
to Premier Sagasta at Madrid that
the sentiment favorable to annexation
of Cuba to the United States is grow

who are convinced that autonomy is
impracticable and the efforts of Spain
to restore order are hopeless. The adj
vantages of annexation were openly
discussed at recent meetings of Ha-

Between this time and Jan. LIST
nearly 600 subscriptions to The Ga
zErrE will expire. On Jan. LIST the list
will be revised, and all those not paid
in advance will be dropped from the

The publishers have found this a
very satisfactory way of handling the
large list, and nearly all of our SUBJ
scribers approve of the method. Those
whose subscriptions expire during
that time, and the expirations are
printed on all out of town papers,
should call and renew the same as
soon as possible, and also obtain law

diminished rapidly. 1t

OFFERED A BRIBE.

It is now announced, on the best of
authority, that Captain General Blanco
of Cuba, offered Col. Nestor Aranguren
bride of 100000 if he would desert
the Cuban forces and join the Spanish
army in putting down the revolution
in Cuba. Col. Joaquin Ruiz of the
Spanish army was sent to Aranguren
with the proposition, and Aranguren,
in compliance with an order issued by
Gen. Maxine Gomez, Immediately put
Ruiz on trial and caused him to be
shot. The two guides that conducted
Ruiz to the camp of Aranguren were
huhe.
Aranguren and Ruiz were old
friends during the peaceful days of
Cuba. The attachment between the
two men was unusually warm, but
when the revolution broke out the two
men made opposite selections. Ruiz
considered that the friendship exist
ing between him and Aranguren was
so great that Arangnren would not
carry out the orders of his military
chief when Ruiz appeared with the
peace offer and bride. Aranguren
warned Ruiz not to make any other
offer but that based on the absolute

The building was occupied by large

is TAMS THE MAN?

is TAMS THE MAN?
Capt. S. R. VanSant of Winona has
announced himself as candidate for
Governor at the hands of the next Re-
publican State convention. Almost 81
simultaneously with his announcement
comes the report that Gov. Clough
has decided to favor the nomination of
the Winona soldier and steamboat
captain, and statement from Ed. A.
Weaver of Mankato that while he is
not candidate for the place he would
refuse to say whether or not he would
accept nomination if the same was
rendered to hime. Nor is the candi-
dacy of Tams Bixby repudiated, as
yet. A number of other candidates
have been mentioned for the place,
but nearly all of these we're trotted out
some time ago. and they appear to
have been outwiuded and dropped at
the first quarter pole in the contest
The fact that Capt. VanSant is out
at this time and that Gov. Clouoh ia
not opposed to his candidacy, together
with other candidates being trotted
out from other sections of the State, is
being construed by some of the
shredwdest politicians in the State
that the leading factors in the Repub-
lican organization of the State have
not given up their idea to continue in
control of the organization, and that
their candidate for the place will be
the Hon. Tams Bixby of Red Wing,
at present high chief of the Dawes
Indian commission The guessing poll
ticians say that Mr.. Bixby probably
could not win against any one other
candidate, and the only way his friends
expect to nominate him is by trotting
out several candidates and eventually
landing the plumfor him. Mr.. Bixby
himself, is one of the shrewdest politi-
clans in the State, with more excellent
fighting qualifications than any of his
leading opponents, and if he goes in
to the contest on that line the proba-
bilities are that he will come very near
getting what he goes after, even if he
does not decisively land the plum.
1t is a grave question whether it is
advisable to continue the present men
at the head of the State organization
Next year is termed an off year, and
the party will have to fight for every
thing it gets, and at the present time
it seems that if some old soldier like
Capt. VanSant was nominated for the
place, it would be the strongest head
of a ticket that the party could nom
mate. But if Mr.. Bixby should be
nominated he possesses certain pc.
litical shrewdness in conducting a
campaign that would be of great ad-
vantage to his ticket. AS to his quail
fcation for Governor there can be nc
doubt. He has been private secretary
of the governor for several terms
knows every detail of the office, and
can write better speech than good
many persons who have occupied the
chair.
