commission, after declarations, amount
ing to the assertion that the United
States adopted for the negotiation with
Spain the motto of Might Without
Right" says:
ION Dec. / / proposed to the Ameri-
cans to appoint a technical commission
to examine the question of the Maine.
We said America will appoint an Amer
lean, an Englishman and Frenchman,
and we will appoint a Spaniard, an
Englishman and Frenchman-all spe-
cialists-and that the commission, or
the two governments, appoint a Ger
man, and that these seven men bring in
a verdict. If they declare Spain limo
cent the president of the United States
will address a message to the senate
declaring Spanish honor intact and that
Spain was falsely accused of having
betrayed the laws of hospitality by
blowing up vessel at anchor in one of
her ports. If Spain is declared guilty
a Spanish ship will go to America, salute
the United States flag and Spain will
pay the costs.
This is the proposal we made on
Dec. l. On Dec. 5, in his message to
congress, the president made no allusion
to our proposal but described the
blowing up of the Maine as a suspicious
event. On Dec. 6 the American COM
missioners declared they refused to dis
cuss this question This is what es-
pecially irritates us. We have great
defects. Our hot temper and cruelties
even. But our national honor is dear to
us. Yet at that honor the Americans
wished to deal the rudest blow"

and received unstinted applause from
the delegates The issue came to the
hands of the convention through a reso-

J, FLAG RAISING.
Beechurst puts one al0ft that beats any
thing ever seen In these parts.

Beechurst has taken the patriotic
fever bad and has raised one OF the
finest, if not the very finest flag eyer
seen in this section of the country.
1t is twenty by thirty feet and cost
forty dollars. This sum was raised
by popular subscription and is m
eloquent testimonial to the feelings
of those who went into the scheme.
The pole on which the flag is
hoisted is one hundred and twenty
five feet high and it stands in front
Of John Hunts restaurant. The
hosting was done without any elab-
crate ceremony and occurred as the
factory hands came out from work.
1t had been the plan to have some
music and speech or two but it
was found to be impossible to get
the music so the other parts of the
program were abandoned.

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few of the Things that have
been done in the last
twenty-f four hours.

Reinforcements will be sent
to Shafter at once. The
troops at Fall Church Va,
will be sent. The number
will be about five thousand.
The latest news confirms
the reportedarrlval of Shafter
at Santiago: He, Sampson
and the insurgent leaders have
been in consultation and the
plans for the attack are agreed
upon. No landing will likely
be made for some days yet.
The war department thinks
that the insurgents will be
able to keep any reinforce
ments from reaching Santiago
from the land.
1t is reported that Dewey
and the Philippine insurgents
are acting in harmony and
have a complete understands
ing as to the plans to be car
ried out for the subjugation of
the Spaniards on the islands.
1t is reported from London
that France backed by Russia
is actively engaged in an eff
fort to bring about peace be
tween the two contending
powers and that considerable
correspondence has taken
place on the subject.
The Senate is in the midst of the
debate on Hawaiian annexation
and the sentiment seems to be
strongly in favor Of the movement.
No immediate action however is
expected.
Fifty people are drowned at the
launching of British battleship.
BlancO is said to be sending re-
Inducements to Santiago and has
despatched six battalions for that
purpose.

DIR BIG FLEET.
only ''ne Instance in History in Which
SO Great a Force Was successfully
Moved on Water.

People are just beginning to realize
the size of the first expedition to Cuba
and the fact that it has few equals in
history. Moving an army on ships
is an immense operation, says the ST.
Louis sGlobe- Democrat. Napoleon
never accomplished it successfully.
The army he took to Egypt was cut
off. His long cherished plan to invade
England never came to a trial. The
Spanish armada is associated in the
mind with the stories of colossal un-
dertakings, and yet it was only lit
tie larger than our host headed for
Santiago. The armada shat started
for England in the days OF Philip and
Elizabeth carried 10. 295 soldiers aud
10, 600 sailors and rowers. There are
over 16, 600 soldiers and 5000 sailors
on the armed vessels and transports.
About so steamships and 10 naval
vessels are in the columns and con-
voys at sea. The country is deeply
interested in the progress of this
mighty fleet, and anxious to hear of
its freedom from storms or mishap
of any kind. Thanks to the fieetness
OF steam it will soon reach its destina-
ton and be spared the weeks of sail
ing that deyolyed upon the Spanish
admiral 80 years ago this summer.
