Mr.. Roach advanced the novel argu-

problematical. They were liable to b.

spauiards are Not Worrjtd Over Approach
of American Fleet.

London, June 2S.-Tbe Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail telegraphing
Monday says:
"The minister of war, General Correa,
expects the first Spanish reinforcements
to reach Santiago tomorrow. The report
ia confirmed that the Spanish troops at
Guantanamo are marching to attack the
American rear guard there. There is
also movement of other troops through
out the whole of eastern Cuba in order to
carry out a con certed plan of action.
sit seems also to be the general belief
that Admiral Cervera's squadron will act
on the aggressive during the coming at
tack on Santiago. The government of
Santiago, it is asserted has an ample sup
ply of provisions ammunition and coal.
The announcement that an Americ an
squadron is coming to Spain excites very
little attention. All the available men of
war have been ordered to hold themselves
in readiness. The harbors are mostly pro-
tected by torpedoes and the various
garrisons have been reviewed to test their
efficiency

Mr.. DlNGLEY RENoMINATED.
Second District Congressman Addresses
Bis Constituents.

Lewiston, June 27.-Congressman Ding
ley was renominated for Congress at the
Second Congressional district Republican
convention in Auburn this afternoon.
Mr.. Dingley addressed the convention
and was enthusiastically received. In
discussing the war he said: Clears are
expressed that the people of this country
NAV be SO intoxicated with the demon.
stration Of their power as to change the
peaceful and unambitious policy which
has heretofore prevailed and induce the
country to enter upon the policy of ag-
erosion, colonial expansion and empire.
81 can appreciate the gravity of such
fears honestly entertained, but 1 have
nothing but distrust for those men who
have done their utmost to bring on the
war and are now oriticising the govern
ment for striking Spain at her most
Vulnerable points, wherever found.
"While it is impossible now to say what
will be the outcome of the necessary con.
quest of distant Spanish possessions in
other seas-for it would be child's play to
wage war and fail to strike the power OF
Spain at every weak point in her armor-
yet nothing has thus far occurred tc
change the declaration of Congress when
this war was accepted, that our purpose
in waging 1t is not territorial expansion
but to promote the interests of humanity
and liberty. Whether these interests will
make it necessary to permanently hold
~ all
from Spain, time alone will tell.
"The annexation of Hawaii, it should
be borne in mind, is the outcome of a
policy advocated by our leading statesmen
and military and naval strategists for
half century.
'Simple self defence will undoubtedly
make it necessary to secure ooalipg
stations and harbors of refuge on some OF
the islands which we have captured or
may capture, but unless something I'M
foreseen shall occur the problem before us
outside of this will be first to hold during
the war the Spanish possessions which we
shall capture for the purpose of Gripping
spanish power and strengthening our
military and naval preparations and at
the close of the war TO secure good govern
ment for the people who inhabit these
possessions by the most feasible means

TO MAKE WAR ON SPAIN.
Dons To Be Brought tosRealizing Sense of
What They've Got Into.

Washington, June 27.-The navy de-
parEment has posted the following bu'le-
tin showing Commodore Watson's squad
ron which is to be sent to Spain. 1t is
designated the eastern squadron and is as
follows:
Flagship Newark, battleships Iowa and
Oregon, cruisers Yosemite, Yankee
and Alexander.
The start will be made at once from off
Santiago.
The bulletin also showed the following
changes in designation of the dispositions
OF our vessels:
Eourth Atlantic feet, Rear Admiral
Sampson, commanding.
First squadron, commodore "A. HOW

Second squadron, Commodore w. 3.

Commodore Watson should reach Adj
miral Sampson by Thursday morning, or
perhaps earlier, for the Newark, having

The start for Spain will be made of
Santiago just as soon as the squadron
eau be gotten ready and this, fortunately
owing to the completeness of the naval
mobilization, will be in very short time.
There is no intention of weakening the
Havana blockade by the withdrawal OF
Commodore Watson with his flagship.

dered Commodore Howell to proceed
Immediately to the American fleet of

The United States consul at Port Said
has reported to the state department that
| in obedience to its injunction, he had
| lodged protest against the supply of coal

| 1t is true that the failure to obtain coal
at Port Said would not in itself prevent
the Spanish vessels from passing through
the canal and continuing on their way te
the philippines, for they have with them
| one or more Golfers.
But the coal carried by these collieri
would be absolutely essential to the yes

SPAIN IN A FERAENT.
Troubles Of GraVest Kind Brewing
Everywhere.

London, June 2s.-The Madrid corre
spondent of the Daily Telegraph saws.
"Spain is in state of ferment, Of fran.
sition without parallel during the nras
ent century. Troubles of the gravess kind

"But the failure Of the national defense
is not alone accountable for this. Inco,-

Spaniards have no interest in the war and
even display willingness to forget the
past and to endeavor to rub along without

"The statesmen responsible for, the loss

the Indifference to the peoples ruin man.
ifested by the governing and upper mid
die classes is probably unparalleled in
history. Hunger and misery are making
themselves felt throughout the country.
There will soon be 81, 900 unemployed in
Catalonia and everywhere else there are
similar accounts of distress, going from
bad to worse, day by day."
"The government is painfully con-
scious and is now taking energetic meas.
ure, but all of these are of a coerciye
character. Troops which might have
successfully defended the Philippines
are being massed at all the centres where
starvation protests are likely to assume
an aggressive form, while money is being
wasted on warships that will never fire q
shot.
The press expects to be gagged, but it
unanimously declares that no amount of
coercion and no degree of dictatoriaI des-
potism will hinder the country from ris-
ing and manifesting it's will.

HOBSON'S REWARD.
Government has Not Fully Decided What
1t Will Be.

Washington. June 27.--It has not yet
been positively determined by the ad-
ministration just what measure of re.
ward shall be melted out to Constructor
Hobson. He will be transferred Rto the
line, but just what place in the line Is to
be given to him is not settled, but it is
stated that he will not as was first Pho
commanders. With full realization of
the merits of Hobson's achievement, the
naval officials havels concluded that SO
great advance as that, amounting to q
promotion of over $50 numbers would be
unwise, so it is likely that Hobson will
take his place we'll up among the
lieutenanjs of the naval service, which
officials believe will make his reward
equal to that bestowed upon Cushing for
his daring feat. The navy department.,
while not relaxing in any degree its
efforts to secure Hobson's release from
captivity at Santiago, has about conclud-
ed that nothing practicable can be effect

singular fact that three of the sailors of
the torpedo boat Winslow, who partici-
pated in the affair at Cardenas when En-
gin Bagley was killed, have been reward
ed by being advanced to warrant offices,
while the man who most of all distin-
guished himself on that occasion, Lieut..
John Bernadou, lies unrewarded at Key
West still suffering from the effects OF
his wound.
This, however, is explained by the fact
