OUR BOYS TO THE FRONT.
Co. "D,"s. D. n. 6. Passed Through
Canton and Was Met at the
Depot by a Large Crowd.


through Canton Tuesday enropte to
Sioux Falls, where they went to join
the other companies of the First regi-
ment that have met there as the head
quarters Of the regiment. Stetson's
Concert Band headed q procession of
several hundred Cantonites who went
to the depot to see the boys before
going into camp. All the business
houses were closed and the public
schools were dismissed, and altogether
there was crowd at the depot un-
equalled in the history of Canton, and
everywhere the stars and strips were
in evidence, as well as an occasional
Cuban flag. There were fathers, moth
ers, brothers and sisters in the crowd
who had come to bid their relatives
goodbye, possibly for few weeks and
possibly for ever. Cheer after cheer
went up from the enthusiastic throng,
and remember the Maine" were the
words heard several times. Company
I'D" is composed of Lincoln conunty
boys most of whom have resided here
for years. G. p. VanHouten, captain
Of the company, is 80 years of age and
has been resident of Lincoln county
for the past fifteen years. with the ex-
ception of the time he served in the 4th
U. s. Inf. at Fort Omaha, and has been
captain of Company ''D' since its
organization. Two special cars were
provided for the transportation of the
boys and when the train left Canton
the cars were packed with the young
men who have given their life's service
to the government to be used in the
promotion of civilization on the west
ern hemisphere. The company met
with q severe loss in the destruction of
their uniforms and arms by fire, but
Gov Lee will soon secure new arms
and uniforms for the Lincoln county
patriots. Captain VanHouten's COM

Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1898-05-06

William Jennings Bryan has written
q letter to President Mckinley Offering
his services to the government in any
position in which they may be useful.
The letter is brief, but courteous, and
asks for any assignment the president
may see fit to give him. The president
is good deal puzzled as to what he
ought to do. He does not wish to ig-
more Mr.. Bryan's patriotic offer or de-
cline his services, as that might seem
ungracious, but there is none but
military appointments in his gift, and
Mr.. Bryan's experience and tastes do
not run that way. He might be NOM
mated as q brigadier-general, but if
given such an appointment he would
have to be placed over men who are
much better qualified by education and
experience to command than he, and
of course the president could not offer
him any lower position. It is probable
that in acknowledging the receipt of
Mr. Bryan's offer the president will ask
him to indicate the capacity in which
he would prefer to serve.-Chicago

ATTACK The BRITISH.
A British Yacht Stoned and Driven
from Malaga by a Span
ish Mob.

Gibraltar, May "A British steam
yacht has just arrived here from Mala-
ga, Spain from which place she was
obliged to sail on account of the hostili-
ty of the Spaniards. While she was
lying in the Malaga harbor q Spanish
mob assembled at the dock and hooted
and yelled all manner of insults at the
officers and crew. Finally so angry
did the mob become that stones were
picked up from the streets and hurled
at the yacht. The captain hastily cast
off and steamed away. The officers
report that the greatest hostility pre-
walls against not only Americans, but
British subjects as we'll. The Span
lards are angry at the friendship which
Great Britain is apparently exercising
for the United States and in many part,
of Spain it is dangerous for English
men or anyone speaking the English
language to go about unguarded.

siastic and responsive audience. In
closing he proposed three cheers fol
Col. Grigsby which we're given with q

AFTER THE aUERRILLAs.

AFTER THE GUERR111AS.
Editor Bryson Of the Gettysburg
Courier. is q fighter from away back
an old soldier and . Republican wheel
horse. He has got his war paint OF
and means to scalp every guerrilla il
the Republican camp. Here is what
Editor Bryson has to say:
Several papers in the state are ir
Mysteries over the disorganized con
dition of the Republican party in the
state and come up with the old plea Of
fall into line for the parties good. But
that is played out. Let the men who
have brought this state Of affairs upon
the party, step down. That is the only
condition that will win. The men
who, heretofore, made efforts to hold
the party in line, have been abused,
slandered and otherwise misused by the
guerrilla element that is again SO anx-
ious to have peace, until after election,
when they would. again laugh at the
folly of the men who forgave past
offenses and, just as they have done
heretofore, abuse and slander them.
"There is another consideration, the
tried and trusted friends Of the men
who have been able to persuade these
friends to abide by the manipulated
gang tickets would not follow them
farther along that line. The Republi.
can voters are not soft heads, they
read, and are posted on every move
made, and every man who has figured
hitherto with the guerrillas, is spotted,
and they will have none of his finger
marks on the ballot they vote"

ALL SPAIN IN AN UPR0AR.
6snsral Uprising Reported With
Rioting. ---Ssgasta Has to Fly
For His Life.

gram from Gibraltar to the New York
Herald brings most startling news. 1t
is difficult to get details as the Spanish
censorship is very rigorous and no tele-
graphic messages are allowed to go out
of Spain regarding the war except those
which are smuggled. This news is
supposed to have been gotten through
by an ingenious cipher.
The report is that all Spain is in up
roar closely approaching an insurrec-
tion. Outbreaks against the govern
ment's authority have taken place in
several OF. the provinces and the military
has been overridden in Madrid Despite
all the efforts of the troops, which had
been doubled for the occasion. the pub
lie anger broke during the meeting Of
the Cortes last night, being inflamed
by the furious speeches delivered there
against the government and the mon
archy and intensified by the army
officers and Weylerites who have been
for some days formenting revolt. In
spite of the sternest measures taken to
keep the streets clear the people could
not be restrained and broke over the
soldiers rloting in all parts Of the city
but particularly around the parliament
house.
The dispatch states that the speech
Of ex-Captain General Campos unquali-
fiedly supporting the government drew
upon him the anger of the mob. The
air both inside the deputies and outside
on the streets was filled with boots and
jesrs and angry cries and when the
general left the building to return to
his home he was attacked by the mob.
After short struggle he was over.
powered and slain.
Senior Morel, minister of the colonies,
was also attacked and killed by the
mob
Senior Sagasta, the prime minister,
was attacked and followed, but sue.
ceeded in making his escape, and rush.
ing to the British embassy where he
placed himself under the charge Of the
British ambassador.
Rioting is reported everywhere in
Spain and the feeling:is intense against
both the ministry and the monarchy.
The air was full Of cries of Down with
Sagasta," Down with with the queen
regent" Viva Weyler." !" "Viva Don
Carlos, '.Viva La Republica." There
is great dissatisfaction among the army
officers and many of them are among
the mob taking an active hand in the
uprising.
In Velencia the feeling is especially
intense and savage outbreak tool
place yesterday. Martial law was pro.
claimed, but the troops were unable tc
cope with the mob.

governor general has refused to sur
render the torpedoes, guns and cable
Office and have prevented the agent Of
the telegraph company from confer
ring with Commodore Dewey. The
message ended with the statement that
the British governor Of the straits set
Element expected the bombardment of
Manila would begin Monday morning,
when the Spaniards would cut the
cable. No other messages on the sub
ject were received at London, although
the colonial Office expected news from
the British consul at Manila. There.
fore it is supposed the Spanish have cut
the cable.
The Madrid correspondent Of the
Times, describing the Manila engage.
ment. says: THE Olympia, Boston,
Raleigh, Concord, Petrol and Monacacy
entered the bay under cover Of darkness
by the smaller and safer Bocachica
channel. The forts Oh Corregidor is
land gave an alarm by firing on the in
truders, but they seem to have inflicted
no serious damage. The American
squadron moved up the bay, and at 8
o'clock in the morning appeared before
Cavite Here, lying under the shelter
of the forts, was the Spanish squad
rom
Admiral Montejo, few days be
fore, went to Subic bay to look for the
enemy, but learning them vastly super
ior in force. had prudently returned
and placed his ships under protection
Of the forts. This was his only chance
of meeting the enemy on something
like equal terms, and it did not suf-
fee.
"soon the Americans opened fire.
The Spaniards replied vigorously, and
the combat continued without inter
ruption for four hours, during which
the Don Antonio de Culo was sunk, the
CASTLE and Mindanao set on fire, and
the Reina Maria Christina and Don
Juan de Austria seriously damaged
One or two smaller crafts were scuttled
by their crews to escape capture.
Others took refuge in small neighbor-
ing creek emptying into Baker bay,
where, presumably the American ships
were unable to follow them. But not
one surrendered"
It appeared that Admiral Montejo
was taken altogether by surprise and
the Spanish authorities were generally
in state of utter unreadiness. The
forts were not completed and the har-
Dor not mined. There were no search
lights and the American squadron was
only sighted after it had already passed
the outposts and principal forts.
On every side in England is heard
praise of the skill and daring display by
Dewey in a situation where, if any
thing had miscarried he would have
been caught in most desperate posi-
tion. At the same time credit is given
Monteio, who had wretched feet and
stood no chances except what help he
got from the forts.
The moral influences of the great vic
tory are incalculable and though it is
practically certain that Spain will not
weld until she has tried conclusions in
the Atlantic and also where she hopes
for. better luck with her really first
class fighting squadron, it is believed
that similar victory in Cuban waters
would produce signs Of q revolution in
Spain, compelling an endeavor to come
to terms.

A sLIMLY-sUPPLIEp TABLE.

A gentleman who had lately returned
from the North, tells an amusing story
about his little boy, aged A. On the
way home he and his family left the
train at Atlanta to get dinner. The
children were shown into the large din
ing room, and their eyes opened wide
to see the many tables and people. The
napkins were twisted into cones and
stuck in the glasses, after the cherished
manner of walters. I'VE selected a
table," said the gentleman, "and the
children climbed into chairs. Our
waiter had removed everything except
a bottle of tObascO, a bottle of Wor-
cestershire sauce and the pepper and
salt. What will you have, Jim| l
asked our boy. Jim looked dubious. ]
don't see anything that l like he re-
piled. gazing at the sauces and pepper.
Then he looked critically and disap-
prcvingly at the cOne-shaped napkins
at the other tables. That's funny he
declared, gravely. we don't have cuffs
on our table in New Orleans!' New
