STANDARD OF SPAIN.
AT Last 1t Must Leave the Western
Hemisphere Forever.
Alter Centuries of Savnsery and Bar
parity the Cruel Spaniards Are
About to Receive Their
Just Deserts.
Especial Washington letter.

From the day of the declaration of
president Cleveland that the United
states had right to interfere with
the brutal conduct of the war in Cuba
IL was inevitable that the crisis between
SPAN and the United States should
some day eliminate.
The report of the senate committee
on foreign relations on the resolution
recognizing the independence of the
Cuban republic gave to the American
people and to the world statements of
1acts which had not been developed by
investigation or by the public press.
That report showed to the world that
the warfare of the Spaniards was re-
duced to the savagery CT numbering lit
lie children and torturing innocent
women in manner too horrible to be
described in polite language.
Ihe tendishness of the Spanish race
has no parallel in the history of the
civilized world. Those people have had
their churches, their priests, bishops,
their cathedrals and all of the deyel-
oped paraphernalia for the dissemina-
ton OF the Christian religion-a re-
igion of love. And yet, as the centuries
passed and intelligence of right was
disseminated. the Spaniards became
worse and apparently less capable of
refinement of feeling.
The crusaders buckled sword in a
cause no more holy than the cause of
humanity which has led the United
States into armed conflict with the as
sassins of our sailors, the torturers of
the Cubans and the murderers of the
AZtecs and Peruvians.
The people of this country have been
impatient and their representatives
have received scores and hundreds of
kilograms and letters manifesting the
impatience of the people; and for a
time the president himself was assailed
in public prints, on the street corners

Wonderland.

The Yellowstone park is called "Won-
derland,' and thousands of tourists and
travellers stream into it every summer,
and wander about it enchanted. Ger
tainly, if the glowing words in which he
paints the glories and beauties of this
region are to be believed, the name is
well deserved. Boiling geysers, 300 feet
high, magnificent mountains, placid
lakes, rushing rivers pouring through
canyons that blaze with color, the whole
region enriched with every variety Of
tree and flower, and alive with birds and
animals, combine to impress them
selves upon the mind and heart of the
visitor 81 that whatever his fate, I'M
der whatever ignorance or knowledge
he may afterwards chance to suffer. he
will remember these fine, wild views,
and look back with JOY to his wander
ings in the blessed old Yellowstone
wonderland. John Muir, in Atlantic.

The L. Cadets

If there is a war with Spain the Uni
versity cadets wish to be counted in,
and although certain influences were
brought to bear to prevent the holding
of a mass meeting, the cadets decided
that some action should be taken to
express the patriotism of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota. A consultation Of
the officers of the cadet corps resulted
in the following telegram to President
Mckinley:
civilian Mckinley, President of the
United States: The University of Min
nesota Cadet Corps, in the event of
war with Spain, tenders the govern
ment the services of a battalion
''T W. Burglehaus,
'First Lieutenant and Adiutant."
The medical students are also very
anxious to tender their services in case
of war, and talk of organizing hos
pital corps

and throughout the entire country be-
cause he did not take speedy action
to avenge the destruction of the bat
tlcship Maine and the villainous MUIR
der of our sailors.
We in Washington, who understand
the situation, have not been impatient
with the president at all. We under
stand that this great country, like a
giant as compared with Spain, had
been bound and manacled by penuri-
BUSINESS. Congressional appropriations
had been so small and niggardly that
our sea coast defenses were practical
ly dismantled; while our war vessels
were without shot, shell or powder
with which to make the great guns eff
fective. President Mckinley under
stood this matter thoroughly. AL
though he was as anxious as any citi-
zen of the country to drive from this
peaceful continent the savages of Spain,
he maintained a dignifed silence, re-
sorted to the delays Of diplomacy, and
held congress in check until the army
and navy were well equipped and ready
to strike the blow. se.z..s@.
Only DIS 1dte DIS April 4 the QeIenSeS
of the national capital were completed
On that Saturday afternoon the sec
rotary of war, with leading army Off
GERS, went down the river to make final
tests of the disappearing guns near
Fort Washington and Sheridan's point
The guns were found to be in position,
ready for business, and several shots
were fired.
These great guns are situated on
slightly rising knobs, in solid masonry,
200 feet from the rivers brink. No RI
fed cannon on earth could penetrate
the heavy clay soil to that depth. With
in the masonry are built disappearing
gun carriages, which work perfectly.
BY turning lever the gun and car
rage, weighing a total of about 200, 900
pounds, gradually rise to the surface,
button is pressed, the gun is fred, and
the recoil causes it to settle gently back
into its place.
Each gun is loaded and sighted down
in that masonry cavern. The river is
plated, and the aim is taken to strike
any object entering certain plat. It
is marvellous to see the gunners down

Wolf Harvest.

The wolf harvest IN Polk county is
fairly on, and during the past week the
county auditor has paid bounty on 20.
The animals are for the most part cubs
and the capture generally included an
entire litter. In the eastern portion of
the county these animals were very
troublesome during the latter Fart of
the winter, and became so bold that
they frequently carried off sheep,
calves and poultry in considerable
mum bers. In several instances they
were successful in worrying deer until
the animals were compelled to make
stand and fight them, when they al
ways conquered through force of num-
berS.

afterwards, But he wisely forebore and
resisted such counselors.
One of the most effective utterances
in congress concerning the Maine dis
aster was delivered by a young con-
gresham from the Mississippi valley,
who dramatically quoted these lines OF
Kipling:
Lord, God of Hosts, be with US yet;
Lest we forget; lest we forget"
That sentiment pervaded the land.
1t permeated the atmosphere of the
capital city. 1t was on the lips and in
the hearts of all rs we calmly awaited
the long delayed report of the naval
court of inquiry. 1t was repeated to the
president and to the members of the
cabinet. 1t was recited in our public
schools; and all public men prayed for
patience on the part of the people and
for patriotic determination to remem-
Der the crime, and punish it.
After many centuries of misrule, saw
agery, barbarity, there came a time
when "Vengeance is Mine, I will re-
pay, saith the Lord" was quoted; and
the human fundamentally for the di.
vine vengeance upon a people that
thrived upon crime was the republic
which grew upon the soil of the hemis-
phere which had been discovered by
Columbus. This vengeance is for the
brutal ingratitude of Spain to the dis
coverer; for the crimes committed by
the freebooters Cortez, Pixarro and
other eminent criminals sent here by
Spain to spread devastation throughout
the land; criminals who marked and
blazed their pathways with the blood of
innocent aborigines. The original in
habitants of America were unciviiized:
but it was Spain that made them saw
ages. And now the flag of that country
must leave this hemisphere forever.

RAISING THE FLAG IN HAWAII.
Hawaiian Paper Thinks Such a
Thing Probable.

Honolulu, April 10, via San Francisco,
April 26.-The Hawaiian Star has this to
say regarding the flag raising story:
while the rumored seizure of these ts-
lands by the United States as a coaling
station which was referred to in the Star
has not taken place, there are those who
believe that 1t will take place, and at no
distant date. 1t was expected that those
high in authority would scout the idea, for
it is not usual to confess such secrets, but
because the flag has not been raised to-day
does not signify anything.
There may be something significant
however, in the fact that an officer 1f the
United States ship Bennington went
through the city few days ago and tried
to buy a number of American flags. He
succeeded in getting one large one from a
dealer and said he would take half dozen
or more if he could get them. When old
that an order could be quickly filled at San
Francisco, he replied that he must nave
the flags at once and could not wait for q
steamer. Small flags were not wanted.
1T is accepted as a certainty that the
islands will be seized as soon as was is de-
clared.''
The rumor that British Consul Kenny
has requested the Hawaiian Islands to de-
clare neutrality at once has been disposed
of by Minister Cooper, who states that
Mr.. Kenny has made no such request.

SPAIN WIRES THE POWERS.


Regrets the Necessity of Being Com
PEELED to Appeal to Force.
Madrid. April 26. $50 p. m.-The Spanish
government to-day sent a circular to the
Powers supplementing its circular of April
Is, and expressing regret at the hard ne
force in order to repel the scandalous ag-
erosion of the United States and defend
the national dignity and historical integri-
ty of the fatherland"
Continuing the circular note says; His
tory presents few instances wherein the
reason is so evident on one part, and the
outrage so undisguised ON the other. Spain
has on her side right, correct procedure
and prudence, while the United States has
on her side only disloyalty and the impulse
of unbridled ambitions
After a reference to the execrable con-
duct of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, the note re-
produces the text of the resolution of Con-
gress undermining the last words ''as in
tended TO deceive the Cubans."
1t points out that the island of Cuba will
not be declared pacified' until 1t is ready
for annexation"
Further on the note gives the details of
the rupture of negotiations between Spain
and the United States, concluding with the
following declaration: THE Spanish people
await the result with tranquil serenity,
have decided to sell their lives dear and
defend energetically their right to remain
in America, confident that in this work
they will have the assistance of the Gu
bans, who are Spaniards like themselves "

Preparation. for service at Way

Waycross, Ca, April 26.-The Waycross
Rifles gave a skirmish drill last night.
After the drill the company returned to
the armory and considered a telegram
which was received by Capt O'Bren from
r. l.. WElly, adjutant OF the Fourth GeoI-
gia Regiment, inquiring unoffcally as to
how many of the company would volunteer
IL Col. Varnedoe would lead them. The
inquiry was not considered as coming
from Adjt. WILLY in his official capacity,
because 1t was not signed officially, and
the company regarded it as indefinite. IL
was the voice of the Company that no def
mite reply should be given to Adjt. Wylly
until the Instructions from Gov. Atkinson
are received and duly considered. 1t is
understood that the members expressed
themselves as unwilling to volunteer I'M
less they are sure that they are to be I'M
der their present regimental line of off,
GERS. And all the members are in favor of
going wherever duty calls them If they
are led by Col. Varnedoe, Capt O'Brien
and all the present officers over them in
the regiment and company. The status
of the company Is excellent. Every mem
Der is ready to do his duty. The officers
and men are preparing for active service,
having been drilling every night for the
past two weeks.

PANAMA A RICH PRIZE.
The MangrOve Given Credit for Run
ming Down the Spaniard.


ming Down the Spaniard.
Copyright 1898, by the Associated Press.
On Board the Flagship New York, off
Havana, April &c, midnight.-The capture
of the Spanish steamer Panama, with her
rich cargo, by the Mangrove, is the best
prize expected in these waters for many
a day. When the achievement became
known on the New York loud cheers broke
from the crowded decks. The Mangrove,
which was going TO Key West for coal, ran
right into the Spaniard, which endeavored
to get away.
The Indiana was signalled by the flag
ship and Joined in the chase, but apparent
ly the chief glory belongs to the Mangrove.
Intense satisfaction is felt among the Of
ficers of the New York over the capture,
for vigilant lookout has been kept dur
ing the last few days and tonight some
feared that the Panama might have slip
ped into Havana Her value is great quite
apart from the intrinsic worth of the hull
and cargo.
1t would have been most detrimental to
the blockade had the provisions which she
carried gotten into Havana.
The first news from Havana since the
blockade was received from the British
steamer Lucline, stopped this evening, she
was passing out Her captain said there
were no evidences Of starvation in the city,
that he had heard no particular comments
on the blockade and had read no Havana
papers, so that he was not well informed
10 no eli CT "a
were received with little faith.
About 200 Cuban refugees, mostly women
and children, were aboard the Luciline. All
cheered the American fleet.
1t is believed the Spanish cavalry is es-
tabllshing patrol to prevent repetition
of such incidents as the Porter landing last
night.
The El Moro batteries were believed to
be firing at something about p. m, but
it was impossible to ascertain definitely
whether this was so or not
81 The Wilmington captured the tiny
schooner Sol, of lSagua, with a cargo of
sugar, but let her go after being careful
to see that she went in a direction oppo-
site to Havana.
The news from Matanzas Cardenas and
Mariel is meager, but ii indicates that the
blockade has been firmly established at
those ports. The torpedo boat Foote is re-
ported as having been fairly in Matanzas
batteries, but thus far not a single casual
ty of any kind in the fleet has been heard
Of on the flagship.
Lieut.. Juan del Pine. of the Spanish in
fantry, and his orderly, We're brought on
board the flagship this morning from the
gunboat Wilmington, to whom they had
been turned over by the cruiser Cincinnati.
The cruiser captured the Spaniards while
they were in small schooner bound for
Matanzas Lieut.. Piano was on furlough
and going to see his wife and infant child.
The child was born last Friday, and he
had never seen 1t. Under these circum-
stances Rear Admiral Sampson and Capt.
Chadwick decided 10 let the officer and his
orderly go under parole. They were sent
ashore in one Of the newspaper dispatch
boats.

the works. It was stated, would materially
reduce the output Of powder for short

fact that there had been a shipment OF

said it was unlikely that any large stock
Of powder had been destroyed.
