DARING EXPEDITIONS
To Cuban Shore by the Suwanee-Car-
ry1ng War Supplies to the Cubans-
Insurgents Cooperating With Our
Troops.

Off Santiago de Cuba, Saturday June
II, 4 p. m. Via Kingston, ia, Sunday
June 18th, Z p. m.-Since the establish
ment of the blockade, several interest
ing n daring expeditions ave been
made into the enemy's country to dis
cover the actual condition of affairs in
Santiago de Cuba. 1t is not an easy
matter to get neal the city these days.
About 5000 Spanish soldiers and 1000
home guard troops cover every road
way about the place, and General
Pando, the Spanish military commander
is very active, although his operations
are limited by the mountains surround
ing the place, which are full of insur-
gents
On Saturday, a week ago, June 4th,
the converted lighthouse boat Su-
vance commanded by Lieutenant Com
mander Daniel Delhanty, arrived off
Santiago de Cuba. She had on board
about $1,000 rounds of ammunition,
5000 rifles, 1000 carbines, 1000 mach
etes and hundreds of pounds of bread,
bacon, and other provisions. With the
aid of a Cuban pilot picked up by Com
modore Schley, she landed this stuff
in two days, besides taking an active
part IN the DOmDarQment OF the forts
at Santiago de Cuba. The landing was
effected about twelve miles to the east
ward of Santiago and in the presence
of 500 insurgents. About 100 more in
surgents were ON guard in the noun
tains anG in the passes. The ammu-
milton and food, with the arms, have,
put the insurgents in excellent shape
to prevent the Spaniards from getting
provisions from the outside through
the island itself. 1t is believed that
the arming of a force of insurgents has
assisted in cutting off one part of the
Spanish army from another.
Tuesday June eth while working
near C~esserazere, twelve miles from
Santiago de Cuba. Lieutenant Com
-MaffderQelsharty saw two sloops try
ing to run away up the liver CsseTa-
Ger. He fired at them and they were
run ashore and deserted. Later a
boats crew from the Suwanee captur-
ed them. Each of the sloops were pro-
vided with a Spanish flag and one Of
them had on board a Telegraph for
signaling purposes. The flag and the
h~eliograph were taken as spoils of war.
One of the sloops "a presented to the
Cubans and the other, which already
had a few holes in it. was sunk by
shots from the Suwanee.

night with enthusiastic young men, (old

military company. Col. George
| Studebaker, of South Bend, was present
and gave nice talk and stated the OBJ
Ject of the meeting. Stirring addresses
were made by Mayor johnson, Judge
Hess, Capt. Bailey and r. b. Oglesbee.
Mayor Johnson was made chairman of

said, for the purpose of urging the Sc
lection of the very best men as officers.
stating that those selected for such DO
sitions must have record for honesty
and sobriety, and after they had been
selected he would forward the names
at once to Indianapolis and recommend
their appointment. John &. Capron

For first lieutenant there were a num-
Der OF names placed i'll nomination, as

above class will be recommended for
those positions by Col. Studebaker
after a thorough investigation as to

on the opinion of Atty General ket-
cham. This seems to be repetition of

encourage litigation and expense, when
by common agreement both factions

Hon. IL. G. Thayer, of Plymouth,
discourSed very eloquently in the even
ing In the Presbyterian church on "St.
PauPs Journey to Rome and Experien.
ce There" Mr.. Thayer followed the
Scriptural narrative, making such ad
ditlons and comments as his own OBJ
servations and experiences suge ested
and justified. He has made thorough
study of the subject, and, having trav-
eled over these portions of Europe
through which Paul passed on his inter
estlng journey, is thoroughly equipped
for the edifying task which he has as
sumed. Mr.. Thayer is great admirer
of faul, and, being an extensive trav.
eler, and withal diligent student and
excellent speaker, invests the subject
with enhancing interest, proving that
his travelling has not been in vain, and
that he has been of benefit to his fell
fellowmen by seeing for them, and
learning many things which his leisure,
self useful enable him to impart as In
the case of his lecture last evening.
Mr.. Thayer is an experienced speaker,
having for years delivered addresses at
public meetings of Masons, Odd Eel
lows, Knights OF PythIas, and other
secret organizations to which he be-
lAr . e. a. 4
and has been prominent for years in
business and political circles. He was
the republican candidate for congress

vote in this state as republican elector

tremely popular throughout the state,

The Evil of "A Bad Precedent.

The fact that the presidents policy
in SpaniSh.Cuban matters has been
largely directed by Mr. Hanna has led
many conservative and reasoning peo-
pie 20 fear that Mr.. Hanna sees In
a bad precedent an opportunity to turn
few nimble millions on his own &C
count and that'of the vensl crowd that
surrounds him. This well grounded
suspicion is made all the stronger by
the manifestly strained effort of Rep
resentative Grosvenor on the floor of
the house TO show that there is "a
money deal behind the proposed rec
ognition of Cuban independence, which
the republican national platform avow-
ed had been won nearly two years ago.
