Mcclure's Magazine for October.


For the story of the siege of Santi-
ago de Cuba, as it affected the people
directly involved on either side. in
their personal safety and comfort and
their daily lives, there is no document
yet published equal to the October
number of McClure's Magazine. Mr..
Stephens Bonsal, in an article entitled
"The Fight for Santiago, describes
the campaign as it affected the Ameri-
can soldier, writing from his own OBJ
servation and experience; while for
the panic-stricken and half-starving
people shut up in the city of Santiago
we have very remarkable diary kept
by the British Consul at Santiago,
who was all the time in the closest re-
lations with the Spanish authorities,
and was expending- it later proved
his very life in relieving the general
suffering. Mr.. Bonsal's article is
very fully illustrated-partly from
photographs taken in the field by him
self, and partly from drawings by w

Reception committee:
Fred schflplin for sheriff

Fred Schilplin for several years
city editor of the Times, is the Demo-
cratic candidate for Sheriff. He
entered the employ of the publisher
when he was in his ''teens," serving
first as "chore" boy and rising step
by step until he became assistant
editor, all by his own efforts, unaided
by other influence. He has had to do
with the business of the office also,
and has handled it's funds. If there
is any living man who knows him
we'll, it is the editor of the Times.
Knowing him as we do, therefore, we
can say, without the slightest reserva-
tion that in all these years we never
knew Fred Schilplin to be guilty OF a
low, mean, dishonorable or dishonest
act. No man was ever more faithful
to employer than he, and we will
guarantee that, if elected Sheriff, he
will serve the county as faithfully as
he has served us. So much for his
personal integrity.
AS a citizen of St. Cloud few men
are more popular among all classes
of people than ''Fredn His genial
disposition andA uprightness of char
acter have made him a general favor
lite. Although an earnest and active
Democrat, he has hosts of Republican
friends who will vote for him. AS
for the Democrats, they will be prac-
tically solid in his behalf.-St. Cloud

story to the effect that former Captain
General Weyler Of Cuba bought a large
quantity of powder from the Dittmar
Powder Company, of this city, the
powder being shipped to Havana last
November. Lieut.. White. Of the
Twenty-third Regiment. n G., OF this
city, is given as an authority for this
statement The claim is made that
the powder and a large quantity Of
other explosives were shipped to Ha-
vana on the steamer Ciudad Condal,
about November 20. 1t is asserted that
the two National Guardsmen who had
charge of the explosives on behalf OF
the Dittmar Powder Co. were Capt. q.
IT, Hamlin and Lieut. White. Hamiln
is the manager Of the Dittmar Powder
Company, while White is the book
keeper. On account OF the large
quantity of powerful explosives and

that Captain General Weyler wished 70

A MISAPPREHENSION,
Based Upon Yellow Newspaper Report.
Was the Cause of spain's intination That
Lee Was Undesirable


Washington, March Tt is learned
that SPANS suggestion was made
originally upon misrepresentation
which was due to a newspaper report.
This report was TO the effect that Gen.
Lee had expressed the opinion to a
newspaper correspondent that Spanish
authorities were responsible for the
disaster to the Maine. Accepting this
report as to the expression as correct,
the Spanish prime minister brought
the matter to Minisfar Woodfcrd s
attention, making at the same time
the suggestion that Gen. Lees recall
would be gratifying to Spain. 1t did
not require great while for Spain 10
discover that Gen. Lee had been, &C
cording to the United States authori-
ties, incorrectly represented. Before
this discovery was made, however, the
reply of President MsKinley refusing
to heed the suggestion and expressing
a determination to keep Lee at his
post, was received. Spain then retired
from her position, basing her retire
ment upon the ground that the orig
inal suggestion had been founded upon
q misrepresentation Of facts.

LOOKS SERIOUS.
Of All the War Scares in London the
Spanish American Imbroglio is
Considered the Gravest.

New York, March IA copyrighted
cablegram from London TO the Even
ing Post says
Special inquiries in Official and Gnan-
cial circles to-day show that Of the
many grave international difficulties

Varying conclusions are dlNwn from

that the Armstrong; have had rela-
tioas with Spain since 1886, have
built several cruisers TO SPANS ordei

Two OF the first financial houses were

Their replies may be grouped thus
Nothing of the kind has been defin-
itely arranged. and obviously, seeing
the large French financial interests III
Spain, French fnanciers win be most
anxious to keen Spain from war; but
it is equally certain that if Spain did
decide that war, however desperate.

financial troubles at home. Paris, and
not Lcndon, would be the quarter
whence money would be sought and be-
yond doubt obtained. AS yet how
ever. nothing has been definitely set
tied"
The fact probably is that Spain is
anxious to buy ships and that the
Armstrong; are ready to sell if they
can see the money The French
fnanciers are not eager to advance the
necessary money so long rs by hold
ing back they can assist the cause Ct

reputation in naval circles here of be-
ing the best armed and protected
cruisers in the world.

But Made NO Demand.
Washington, March mot since the
disaster to the Maine has the President
received SO large a number Of early
callers of prominence as this morn
ing Senators Allison and Hale were
among the first to arrive and they
were Immediately shown into the cab
met room. They were soon joined by
Secretary Long and Representatives,
Dinglev. Grosvenor and Cannon. The
conference lasted nearly or quite an
hour. and at its conclusion all left
about the same time. 1t was learned
that the intimation that Spain was dis
satisfied with Gen. Lee and might ask
the President to recall him, came to
the Secretary Of State last Saturday
through a cablegram through Minister
Woodford. and that in response to the
Presidents refusal TO consider Gen.
Lees recall the Madrid authorities sig
nified their acquiescence and this fact
was duly cabled to the Secretary of
State. 1t therefore appears that the
status is the same as before the incl
dent. The correspondence, IS under
stood here. did not show that Spain
had made a demand for Gen. Lees re-
call, OF tldN lAc NlduiAu SO'Ci HiAiCilt
had gone so far as to request his re-
call. The extent Of its displeasure
was expressed in an intimation simply
that his prominence in Havana as the
representative Of the United States
government was not agreeable to
them. The complaint against sending
relief supplies to Cuba in war vessels
was made through Mr.. DuBosc, the
Spanish charge d'affaires, but when
the matter was fully explained to him
he freely expressed his entire satisfac-
ton with the present arrangement and
intimated that he would withdraw his
protest.

"The answer of our government to

ton will be a courteous reminder that
we intend to navigate the Stiken I'M
der the treaty rights which give US

The bill adopted in effect gives US
the right to enter goods at Wrangel
and transship in bond only on certain
impossible conditions, among them
that we shall allow all American min
ers entering the Yukon to carry in half
a ton of food, clothing and plant free OF
duty: that we shall allow American
fishermen the right to purchase bait
in our ports; that we shall give char
tiers to American railways beginning
at Dyea and Skaguay and desiring TO
build through British territory; that
We shall issue miners licenses at points
convenient for United States citizens.

1t can be stated on the highest au-
thority that the attitude Of Speaker
Reed ard some of the other Republican
leaders who have sought TO keep down
the lingo" spirit in the House has
been misunderstood by the public Their
purpose in delaying action on the bill
creating two additional regiments OF
artillery was to prevent as far as pos
sible any undue alarm. While it is
not generally known, it is nevertheless
true. that the Republican leaders Of
the House have given the administra-
ton assurances that any emergency
action which may be deemed necessary
TO uphold the dignity of the country
will be promptly ratified. The whole
aim OF the Republican leaders under
the leadership of the Speaker has been
and is to avoid hasty action or the pos
sibility, so far as possible, Of incen-
diary utterances on the floor which
might make a diplomatic settlement or
the controversy more difficult. But the
administration understands that the
majority in the House is behind it and
that money and men will be voted

address was a critical and historical
review of the movement OF the United
Irishmen. incidentally he alluded to
the recent speech Of Father Weber, OF
New York. AS Irishmen and Irish
Americans said Father Malone, our
cordial sympathy goes ont ia all peo-
pie struggling for freedom. AS irish
Catholics We cannot too severely con-
denim the words of that misguided
priest OF New York, who said it was
the duty of Catholics to support Spain
in conflict with this country. We
stand for America against every other
country on earth and the prompt dis
claimer of the Archbishop of New
York for responsibility for his priests

Irish nationalism was neither Catholi-
cism nor Professionalism was enthusi-
astically applauded. The speaker re-
ceived an ovation as he declared for
an Irish Republic, a free people. free
