dore Dewey felt constrained to change
his course at distance OF 1000 yards
And run parallel to the Spanish columns
After having made four runs along
the Spanish line. finding the charts
incorrect, the OIympia's navigator told
the Commodore he believed he could
take the ship nearer the enemy, with
lead going to watch the depth OF We
ter.
The flagship started over the course
for the fifth time, running within 1000
yards of the Spanish vessels
At this range even six-pounders were
effective, and the storm Of shell poured
upon the unfortunate Spanish began
to show marked results.
Three of the enemy's vessels were
seen burning, and their fire slackened.
Our ships remained beyond range Of
the enemy's guns until ten minutes to
II o'clock, when the signal for close
action again went up. The Baltimore
had the place of honor, in the lead.
with the flagship following and the
other ships az before.
The Baltimore began firing at the
Spanish ships and batteries at sixteen
| minutes past II o'clock, making series
of hits. as if at target practice.
| The Spaniards replied very slowly
and the Commodore signaled the
Raleigh, the Boston, the Concord and
the Petrol to go into the inner harbol
and destroy all the enemy's ships.
By her light draught the little Pc
trel was enabled to move within 1,OO(
yards. Here, firing swiftly. but &C
curately, she commanded everything
still flying the Spanish flag.
/
whole duty, and soon not one red ane
yellow ensign remained aloft excep
on a battery up the coast.
The Spanish flagship and the Cas-
tilla had long been burning fiercely
and the last vessel to be abandoned
was the Don Antonio de Ulloa, which
lurched over and sank.
Then the Spanish flag on tho arsena
staff was hauled own, and at half pas
10 O'Clock white flag was hoistet
there. Signal was made to tho Petre
to destroy all the vessels in tho lnne
harbor, and Lieut. Hughes, with ~
armed boat.crew, set fire to the Dol
Juan de Austria. Marquis Duerro, tn
Isla de Cuba and the CorreO.
The large transport Manila ant
many tugboats and small craft fell In
to our hands.
Capture or destroy Spanish squa
dron" we're Dewey's orders.
Never vets Instructions more effec
tnally carried out. Within seven hour
after arriving upon the scene OF actor
nothing remained to be done.

The people who were inveigled into
going to North Dakota some time ago
from the Valley are In bad fix, and
most OF them will return home II pos

and few have taken up any land. To
leave a country like this for that

reconcilable with human reason.

Congressman Yost has not rendered
his services to Mr.. Mckinley for the
Cuban war SO far as yet heard from.
He has seldom been entirely divorced
from q government job, and his delay
causes surprise. Gen Walker has
already rendered his services, and ex-
cept in this instance he can usually be
found trotting along at the heels oil

made about his individual conduct in
that convention.
The fact that one can cry out
"slander" does not make it 80, nor that
he can say 'falaehood" does not
change truth into falsehood, and we
leave the above to candid public as
to whether all or any one or more of
the s statements contained above are
untrue, slanderous or cowardlY, the
opinion of Mr.. Yost to the contrary
notwithstanding.
In reading the comment of this fero-
cious person on our article we naturally
feel ashamed that we ever noticed
him, it looks 30 like kicking fellow
who is down. His career has about
ended, he has served his last term in
Congress. His party has had = surfsit
Of him and the district Likewise. No
act OF bis Congregational life will live
beyond his term, and II he is ever re-
membered at all, it will be for per-
forming no act Of public benefit, for
the bitterness Of his partisanism, and
the prompt drawing OF his salary. The
few little sentences by us to which he
| so much objects and which he can
classify in any language he pleasea
without offence to US, SO he stays as
far away as he did in this instance, are
compliments, beside the sentiments
expressed about him by some OF hii
political associates at the time of the
county convention last summer, and
on numerous occasions since, In oul
hearing and his. II Mr.. Yost think
We have drawn too strong a picture o.
his partisan spirit he has perfec
right to his opinion, we will be tn.
judge Of ours.
He has therefore shown childish
petulence unworthy of man OF full
mental and physical stature, Of which
he doubtless is already ashamed. l
he will condescend to read the article
more carefully he will find that every
statement it contains has in substanc:
been used about him over and ovel
without offense, unless it be that ont
In connection with the "heelers," ane
