The War Feeling Among the People.

There are rGoG many people in this
city fairly representative Of the coun
try at large. who do not care so much
| about freeing Cuba as they might
though they believe in assisting the
starving Cubars. These people. how

the loss of the Maine ard her sailors

the rub comes. Even the most quiet
and peaceful citizen objects ~enuously

tleShip. and he can't be convinced that
Spain is entirely blamelcss in thar
affair.
The feeling Of patriotism is very n

got to that stage where nothing but
war will satisfy them. Among the
| older people who have lived through
one war. some of whom served in the
| army, the patriotic spirit is just az
intense. but as they know the fearful

the Spanish Will back down Or in some
way the matter may b. settl-d. though

she now lives, that her parents might

Miss Sanborn spent hours in trying
to think what she should name it. She
wanted a name that would suit the
place. and common names could hardly
do for such a purpose.
Finally she thought of some of the

be sent out. This was agreed to, and
on the morning train today 200 men
from Cam Van Duzee will leave fully
armed and equipped for the purpose.
Gov. Clough at first thought it would
save time to call out two companies
from Duluth, but he received word
from there to the effect that they had
no tents and no supplies. AS the COM
panies at the camp are equipped they
will go.
1t will be necessary for the troops to
go by way Of Duluth. OF the number
sent, fifty men will be stationed at
Bemidji, fifty at Ferris, whence so
many requests for help have come, and
100 volunteers will be distributed in
the neighborhood of Bena. The pro-
lection along the Fosston branch of the
Great Northern will be sufficient to pre-
vent any attacks.
These are the only additional forces
which will be sent at the present time
If the trouble grows more serious, the
governor will order out more troops and
the army officers will cooperate with
him.
A telegram was received from Col
Roland H. Hartley, with Battery B, at
Cass Lake, which said that everything
was quiet at that point. He expects to
