Lake Tribune in trying to account for
the gold bug cyclone that struck Ore

prosperity that Is running the Pops In

been selling their big wheat crop for
much cash and In terms Of gold, and
the Klordibe migration has also added
to their gains, andthey have no further

Our Troops in Cuba.

One OF the advantages of the resump-
tionof direct cable communications Is APP
s parent this morning in the ability OF the
= government to announce To- the public
the receipt OF. an official dispatch from
General Shafter saying troops had been
landed successfully at Daiquirl, and Of
! another dispatch from Admiral Samp-
4 son stating that the landing was going
on successfully near Clbanas, while the
fleet wes bombardins Cabanas fortress
Ito divert attention. Other landings are
being made as rapidly as possible.
Coupled with this information Is that
s Of the plan to attack Santiago from the
z rear and the side. 1t seems, from the
brief information at hand, that no time
was lost after the arrival OF the trans
: ports in getting the troops ashore. and
] the important history which Is to be
made in southeastern: Cuba may be said
to have begun, so far. with very little.
II any, loss of American life.
So important q campaign which has
I now been opened by the American MILL
q tary force, In conjunction with Garcia's
& Cuban command and / the naval fleets.
will necessarily have to be carried for
u ward with discretion. and lis not prob
able. that the object will be accomp-
lished without severe fighting. The
Z Spaniards at, Santiago, though some
what Of an unknown quantity, seem to
be very much on the aggressive and It
] is not TO be supposed for. an instont that
they. viii Yield without desperate re-
: sistance. To a large degree, the Amer
fcan troops will be obliged to meet guer-
illa warfare, built Is understood that
4 the Cuban allies, who are even better
2 versed IN this method OF fighting than
the Spanlards are, will be able to meet
) them on. an equality In, this: respect.
Without a doubt. from now on, the
X news from the scene of actlvity{wlll be
OF more or less exciting nature, and as
the naval authorities, have control Of the

ment reports are likely to be received
Z with more promptness than heretofore.
I'm the meantime, the country has every
z confidence in the ability of General
Sha1ter's forces to carry out the task

be forwarded to them at once. The war
IS now on in earnest In the territory

though she would like to be able to boast
Of population Of $4,000. Wheeling can
not come within 10000 OF that figure. In
the week referred to by our contempor-
airy. Wheeling sent full company OF
immunes to the front, while she has
been sending. since, from time to time,
recruits to Chickamauga to fill out West
Virginia's quota. They are being sent
as they ore enlisted. Beside this,
Wheeling has another company now be.

Wheeling doesn't envy Fairmont's
quality OF patriotism, and IL Wheeling
is a large community, compared with

nobly In contributing her brave boys
for the country's defense, just as other
communities, including Wheeling, are

In the death Of Judge James II. Fer
guson, OF Charleston. the state loses one
OF its most distinguished attorneys and
legislators. His public life covered a
period of more than half a century, and
few men in Virginia or West Virginia
have outranked him In the legal profess
sion. For the past few years he has not
been in active life, owing to his adj
vanced age, but he leaves behind him
a career well spent in the service Of the
state, and upon the statute books Of
West Virginia he has left the impress OF
his ability as a legislator. His reputa-
tation as a constitutional lawyer was
second to none. His loss will be gener-
ally mourhed throughout the slate, pas
ticularly among older citizens.

The terrible disaster resulting in the
drowning of large number OF people
during the launching OF the British bat
tlesnip Albion, at Blackwell, Englanl,
Tuesday. was due to The ,crowd5foscing
its way upon weakly constructed stag
ing, in spite OF posted warnings and the
efforts OF the police guards to proven. It.
It was the .recklessness of a curious
crowd. which, on such, occasions. Is apt
to take dangerous chances to crafty
its anxiety to witness the ceremo-
niles. But the authorities were not al
together blameless In this case, for a
staging which had to be posted as dan
gerous had no business there as temp
.atlon TO the reckless ones. nd.r The
circumstances. the accident was, peru-
l!arly cad, for 1t was an occasion for
demonstrations OF Joy and national
pride, to the British people gathered
there, and not one on which so terrible
a tragedy was expected.

This is a tlrst-class sample article of
Spanish b6mbast, but It was just q little
ill-tlmed as to its delivery. The daring
invader had already "trampled upon
Spanish soll"-!t had done more, It had
trampled hard upon the soil. For days
the invaders flag had waved over a
Spanish fort, and Admiral Simpsons
brave marines had made their presence
felt In other ways. And vet, according
to last accounts, the sky had not fallen
and sunk anybody Into an abyss. 1t
may be proper to remark, however. that
daring invaders are buslly engaged
In preparing an abyss, and Galvez may
yet receive q response to his invocation.
