of the members Of the convention will
be to consult the interests and wishes
of their constituents, and whatever
that may be will satisfy me. Let the
voice of the people rule and reign
Strict conformity to the constitution
Of our government should be the only
guiding star in all legislation. Ad-
herence to those principles in all our
IegislA bodies and our govern
ment will live on and through endless
ages and eventually govern all nations
OF earth. But a perversIon of those
principles and we will sooner or later
meet with the fate of ancient Rome
or modern Spain. l wish to thank
the public for their favors shown me
in the past. If my actions as their
servant have been wrong in any way
it was an error of the head and not
of the heart Ny highest ambition

THERE seems to be a feeling among
our soldiers who fought at Santiago
that the Cubans are not much better
thau the Spanisrds, Many wounded
soldiers tell tales Of robbery commit
ted by our cousins the Cubans. The
Oubans too, are mad because General
Skater will not turn over to them
the city OF Santiago. The relations
between Skaters men and the in
surgents are so strained that warfare
may commence between them at any
time.

credit for the glory Of war it must
take also the blame for the suffering,

NewyYork, May 31.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The president told some callers last
night that he expected Commodore
Schley to attack Admiral Cervera within
"a hours. General Miles made no secret
before leaving Washington for Tampa,
last night, of the immediate departure
of the army from Tampa, though he de-
clined to encourage any speculation as
to its destination for obvious military
reasons. He dispelled all doubts as to
his own active part In the expedition by
announcing that he would be able to
embark at Tampa, Wednesday, on one
Of the fastest small cruisers, which will
take him quickly to the scene Of opera
tiOnS.
The size of the force to be landed near
Santiago de Cuba, it is supposed, does
not exceed Is, 900 men, of whom it Is not
expected over 5000 will take part in the
siege, the others will be held in reserve
for use if an extraordinary resistance Is
encountered. There is confidence among
military men that the city will fall in
ten days. Most of the troops will then
be quickly re-embarked in transports
and the combined military and naval
forces will proceed directly to take pos
session of Porto Rico, being reinforced
for this purpose by additional troops
from Tampa.

especially in central sections of the ter
ritory. 1t is reported that beans, mel
ons and other tender garden truck and
not few grape vines, were greatly
damaged, and in some cases the whole
iiarop was ruined.
Corn is about all planted, excepting in
some isolated northern localities. The
first cutting of alfalfa is finished in
southern counties, and is about ready to
cut in central sections. Wheat is head
ing out nicely and, with barley and oats
promises good yield. Sugar beets are
making good progress; planters are
thinning the crop. Ranges usually are
still in good condition but are getting
short in many sections. Rain is badly
needed to freshen up the grass. Ap-
pies, apricots, peaches, grapes and cher
ries are well advanced, and promise a
very good yield. Cattle are reported in
good condition. The lambing season is
about over; some report as low as 60
The weather for the week ending with
May 80 continued favorable as far as
temperature conditions are concerned,
but with the exception of a hail storm
and light showers in the extreme north

no rain to speak of for over two weeks.
However, there is plenty Of water In
irrigation bitches, although in some
localities fears are entertained that it
will not hold out throughout the season.
The warm, bright days. with nights
somewhat cool, have not been unfavor-
able to crop growth, and with few OK

morning Of the 21st caused greater dam

having successfully landed most i'm
portant expedition on the island. Near
ly 400 men, with pack train and a
large quantity of ammunition sailed for
