STIRRING EVENTS
May Occur in West Indies From
This Week Forward.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Official in
formation has reached Washington to
the effect that the fleet of transports,
with troops for Santiago, which was
supposed to have left yesterday for
Cuba, had not sailed up to an early
hour this morning. No reason was
stated, SO far as it has been learned,
for this very unexpected delay in the
movement against Santiago. The Off
Gals positively decline to discuss the
matter, but clearly show by their man.
ner that the news is most unwelcome.
Later advices received during the af-
ternoon show that start was actually
made yesterday, but that the movement
dragged, and that many of the ships
did not move until some time this fore
noon. 1t is supposed that all the yes
sells are now fairly under way. The
public probably will be fully informed
tomorrow concerning the movement,
as the authorities here have determin-
ed to withdraw the censorship thus far
inforced from Florida points some time
tomorrow. Allowing three days for
the trip, General Skaters forces will be
in the vicinity of Santiago by Friday
noon, and it is expected that the de-
barkation will take the rest of that day
and night and part of the following
day
With the first expedition actually out
of the country, the authorities here
have quickly turned their attention to
another expedition even more important
than this initial one. 1t is expected
that the plans for this second invading
force will be matured at once, and that
as a result another expedition will
leave from an Atlantic coast point
within the next ten days, this time for
Porto Rico The details for this move
ment are approaching completion.
There are about fifteen transports al
ready available, and the list will be
increased as rapidly as possible. Some
of these may be used for a later ex-
pedition, but those secured and to be
secured will readily accommodate a
force of 10000 men. Recent reports
from Porto Rico have indicated that the
Spanish force there does not exceed A.
600 or 5000 men, SO that it may be
, deemed Unnecessary to send a large
army of occupation. Such as it is, how
ever, it will have an important mission
to perform, and with this force pursu-
ing an aggressive campaign in Porto
Rico, and General Skaters $4,000 men
on Cuban soil, an abundance of stirring
events is assured from this week for
ward.

SPANISH PUT TO FLIGHT.
The Dolphin Shells One of Their
Bases of Operations.

NEW YORK, June 14.-A special to
the Evening World" from Mole St
Nicholas says the auxiliary cruiser St
Louis has arrived there from Guam
tanamo, which place she left at 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The ma
rlnes who were at Caimanera were
hard at work throwing up breastworks
and strong fortifications on a hilltop
behind the promontory where guns
will be placed for protection of the
force.
Three miles east of Santiago there
was little village where a consider
able force of Spanish troops was sta
toned. 1t was used as a kind of ba Sc
of operations for the attack upon the
American position, but yesterday. the
World" dispatch says, the Dolphin
shelled the place and practically de-
stroyed it. From the Dolphin's deck
the Spanish soldiers. could be seen run
ming in all directions.
This dispatch makes no mention of
the nghting which another special re-
ported to have taken place at Camera

CONFLICTING REPORTS FROM
SANTIAGO.
CAPE HAYTIEN, June IA, $40 D. M
Copyright, 1898, by the Associated
Press. 1.-The auxiliary cruiser ST.
Louis and several dispatch boats, it is
reported here, brought to Mole ST.
Nicholas to-day story that a landing
was effected by the Americans last
Monday near Guantanamo. According
to this account the Americans took
possession of a fortified position COM
manding portion OF the port, but the
Spanish rallied and attacked the in
vading force, finally dislodging it and
retaking the post.
This information does not tally with
a cablegram received Sunday night by
United States Minister Powell, which
asserted that 5000 Americans had
landed at Santiago Bay without en-
countering serious opposition.

GUNBOAT MARIETTA.
Her Remarkable Voyage From San
Francisco to Key West.

WASHINGTON, June 14-In the
general admiration excited by the
splendid performance of the big battle
ship Oregon, in running from san
Francisco clear around South America
to join Sampson before Santiago the
equally meritorious run of the little
gunboat Marietta over most of the
same course, has been lost sight of.
With the Oregon, the Marietta is a
product of a Pacific Coast ship yard.
and the high character of the work
done in constructing this ship is shown
by the Captains statement that the
little boat made this long 12,000-mi miie
VOYAGE without stopping for repairs.
Considering the great disparity in the
size of the oregon and the Marietta,
the performance of the latter is GER
tainly quite as remarkable as that Of
the Oregon. even though the time made
was not as good.
The formal report Of Captain
Symonds who commanded the ship
has just been made public by the Navy
Department 1t reads as follows:
~. s. s. Marietta, Key West (Fla.).
June 6.-Sir: Referring to the recent
trip of this vessel from San jose
Guatemala. to this port. it gives me
pleasure to report as to the satisfactory
performance of her engines and boilers.
as also the other departments of this
vessel.
Upon no occasion We're we obliged
to stop for even slight repairs, and
when en- route from Punta Arenas to
Rio de Janeiro, accompanied by the
Oregon, no difficulty was experienced
in maintaining the full contract force
of the engines. Upon arrival here. after
the run from San Jose, Guatemala
about 12C00 miles had the immediate
services of the vessel been desired, she
could have proceeded to sea at once
after coaling. The general condition
of the vessel is due in great measure
to the zeal of the officers and crew
consequent upon the demands of war.

carry on communication, except
through the assent of the companies.
These are private concerns, but they
are bound to observe the neutrality of
their respective Governments.
There is some anxiety, therefore, as
to the course of the operators of the
French company at Hayti when they
receive messages from Admiral Samp>
SON. Should they refuse to handle
them over neutral lines, touching neu-
tral territory, an International question
may arise. The same condition exists
as to the Manila cable, and the failure
to receive dispatches from Manila is
attributed to the failure of the British
operators at Hongkong to take the mes
sages. 1t was stated tonight that ne
gotiations are now progressing which
give promise of a satisfactory under-
standing with the companies, and the
forwarding of such matters as the Ad-
mirals send.

The people of North Dakota are
paying off debts and cancelling
mortgages as rapidly as of those
of Nebraska and Kansas, says the
Minneapolis Tribune. North
Dakota is forging to the front as
fast, in proportion to her popu-
lation, as any state in.the Union,
and in time will be numbered
among the most populous and
wealthy. Almost every acre of
North Dakota is either arabic or
fit for grazing purposes; there is
almost no waste land, and it's
he;llthful and invigorating clim-
ate constitutes an irresistible
attraction to the best class Of
settlers.

The Dread Of Death.

It may seem at first sight as If this
universal dread Of death in healthy and
normal human beings living under nor
NAL conditions involved certain divine
cruelty. Why should men be tortured
by the dread of death, since death is in.
evitable? Could not God have spared US
that intolerable and purposeless agony:
That is a not unnatural questioning Of
the rebellious spirit. Yet a Little rehec-
tion will show that it is very absurd
criticism of the ways of God toward
man. Granted that it is the will of God
that we shall remain OH earth and live
our appointed lives there. it is essential
that mankind should feel the dread Of
death. Without that dread the world
could hardly remain peopled.
The dread of death is to tho soul
what the law of gravity is to the body.
1t anchors US to the earth. Without that
dread to weigh US down and keep MS to
the globe, half mankind would be driv-
en- by curiosity, by the love Of change,
by the dread Of ennui, by what Bacor
calls "niceness and safety to .ush
open the closed door and see what Is
bayond. Children and a few very happy
and easily pleased people might perhap
say they would not explorc further az.
that they were perfectly content vii;

A Drsm.sio Assassination.

By far the most dramatic royal assas.
sination was that Of the Emperor Paul
Of Russia on March "a, 1901, by his
mobiles. As usual Paul had retired to
rest booted and spurred and in his regi-
mentals. At the dead Of night he was
awakened by an unusual noise. The
hussar who guarded bis chamber door
the only faithful sentry, as it proved,
in the palace-was being killed by nine
nobles They burst into the room and
began to attack the emperor. Paul hid
behind chairs and tables and begged for
his life. He offered to make each of his
assailants prince. He offered to abdi-
cate in vain. Then he made wild dash
for the window, fearfully gashing him
self. but he was dragged back. He
seized chair and for some time kept
the nine Of them at bay, and only after
terrific struggles was he seized and
Etrangled with his own sash.

A number of our exchanges
speak very lightly of the meeting
held in Fargo a few weeks ago by
the prohibition republicans and
are inclined to poke fun at this
meeting. Considering the fact
that a number of those present at
this meeting are republicans who
carry considerable weight in the
party's counsels, and are men
who have been prominent in the
work in this state. we should not
be surprised when the next state
convention rollsaround to find that
these same men that some of the
papers are poking fun at will
hold the balance of power and
will be in a position to nominate
whom they will, greater results
have been attained from a more
insignificant commencement.

accomplish a great deal more
than a whole mob divided
amongst themselves. Keep your
eye on those fellows you are
