commenting editorially upon the Presi-
dents message to Congress- gays:
"The message is vigorous and able
document. Undoubtedly it means war,
unless Spain agrees to make final terms
with the insurgents and to recall her
trocrs from Cuba. 1t must convince
Europe that the case for American inter-
yention is q very strong one. President
McKinley's refusal to recognize the in
dependence of Cuba on the ground that
it would nullify Americas claim to In
reference, is sound sense and staggerer
for the jlngces but Spain must Loyalty
co-operate with him if war is to be

The STANDARD saws: "The undis-
oujshed disappointment of the jingoes at
the subdued and ;autlous tone or the

of peace. Assuming IN obligation to

COMPANY the Expedition,

L
New York, June 25.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Gen
eral Miles has made all arrangements to
leave Washington at once for Tampa,
to embark there as soon as possible with
General Coppinger and the 4th army
for Santiago, that point being definitely
announced rs the chief outlying base of
supplies for the subsequent military and
naval operations against the enemy in
the West Indies.
General Miles expressed the hope that
General Shafter will have succeeded in
taking possession of Santiago before he
reaches there, but in case this achieve
ment is delayed, the large army re-en-
forcements will undoubtedly be able to
effect speedy termination of the siege
as well as to neutralize the heavy addi-
tional forces constituting the flower of
the Spanish army in Cuba, consisting of
10000 men under General Pando, known
as their fighting general, now reported
as hastenlng to the scene overland from
Holguin, 70 miles distant in an air line.
General Shafter has been directed by
cable to get all supplies'out Of his trans
port ships as quickly as possible, and
hasten them back to Tampa for GEN
eral Coppinger's troops. Secretary Long
sent orders at the same time to Admiral
Sampson to furnish an effective convoy
of warships for the expedition.
1t is believed the big feet can start on
the return voyage not later than Sun
day, reaching Tampa as early as Thurs
day morning.

San Juan is picturesque Indian

full spot could not be found for days

Hon. Sam Eldodt's park, or garden, is
the chief attraction of the place, and it
was thrown open to the picnicers with
out reservation, except protection of
flowers and fruit, which the place con-
tains liberal supply Of. The vine en-
twined arbors, which afforded shade
from the sun and left the occupants to
the full enjoyment OF the cool mountain
breezes and beautiful scenery, were i'm
mediately taken possession of by the vis-
itors.
Numbers of Santa Feans took their
visiting cards along and made social
calls. Ramos Archuleta, the governor,
turned the keys of the city over and al
lowed the sightseers to elbow them
selves" at the lemonade and pottery
booths and manipulate their kodacs to
their hearts content. Many amusing
incidents occurred. Mr.. Lankard, who
had desire to know all about every
thing, asked an Indian maiden of ante
diluvian birth, how old she was. She
replied, Sweet Sixteen" The squaw
was minus teeth and sight and her hair
was as white as snow. She afterward
told a crowd that the STAT man tried to
make love to her.

des churches came in for considerable
attention. The latter named edifice is
an imposing stone structure that would
be a credit to any city. A gilded statue
of the Virgin Mary is inclosed between
the two churches, which face one an
other on either side of the street
Sertor Ortiz, brother-in-law of the
governor, at one time attended school
in Santa Fe. He talks English fuently
and was very obliging to the visitors.
General Agent Helm is to be highly
complimented on the able manner in
which he handled the crowd. He
seemed to be everywhere at once, look
ing to the comfort of the passengers
and extending all manner of courtesies.
The Rio Grande railway is exceeding
~ fortunate in possessing represen-
tative here capable Of exercising so
much tact and rustling powers. The
of the crowd attests Mr..
Helms unbounded popularity and the
satisfaction of all is great
praise to his efforts.

Spaniards were found after the fight
but their loss was doubtless in excess of
that. General Young commanded the

are the men who held up the fast express
on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
road, about q mile north of the depot
here last night and killed Engineer Fred
Dempsey. A sheriff's posse was
Immediately organized and the blood
hounds belonging to P. Brenzell, Of this
place were let loose. The dogs soon
tracked Jackson to Roadhouse where
he was arrested. Jackson told the
whole story of the hold up. Ainsworth
was arrested a few hours later. The
train pulled out of the station about
seven minutes late, and at the Chicago
& Alton crossing was boarded by Aims
worth with a gun. He used the usual
tactics, crawling over the tender and
calling on the engineer to throw up
his hands. Dempsey reversed his
engine and threw ON the air brakes.
Ainsworth shot Dempsey in the body,
who fell to the floor of his cab. The
fireman escaped through the front
window and the robbers fled.
